What is the meaning of "fire tree and silver flower"?

Idiom explanation: fire tree: a fiery red tree, which means that the tree is full of lights; Silver flower: a silvery white flower, indicating bright lights. Describe the magnificent night scene decorated with lanterns or fireworks. \x0d\ Idiom origin: Tang Su Weidao's poem "The fifteenth night of the first month" says: "The fire tree and silver flowers are combined, and the bridge is locked." \x0d\ For example, the flaming trees are full of silver flowers, brothers and sisters are dancing, and the songs are full of the moon. (Liu Yazi's word "Huanxisha") \ x0d \ x0d \ The idiom "fire tree and silver flower" has always been commonly used by people. It originated from a sister of Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty, a Korean lady. On the Tianbao Lantern Festival, she hung all kinds of extra-large lanterns on a tree at the top of the mountain, so that people far away could see them, which was a spectacle. Therefore, people call it "fire tree silver flower" \x0d\ Lantern Festival solve riddles on the lanterns has always been loved by people. But in the Ming dynasty, it led to the tragedy of involving nine families. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at lanterns incognito and solved riddles on lanterns, but he was stumped by a painting riddle: "A woman with big feet holds a big watermelon". After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Ma Huanghou a riddle. Ma Huanghou was furious: "How dare you laugh at my mother! Isn't this the answer' Huaixi women have big feet'? " It turns out that Ma Huanghou is from Huaixi, and he was born with a pair of cattail leaf fan feet. Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered the Nine Mysteries family to plant it, which was really inhuman! \x0d "only state officials are allowed to set fires, but people are not allowed to light lamps" is well known, but it originated from an anecdote of Lantern Festival in Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, there was a state official named Tiandeng, who was overbearing and forbade the people to say his name "Deng". Therefore, the point of "light" can only be called "fire", and the lantern festival is put on for three days according to the regulations. Tian Deng ordered the official to post a notice: "The state puts on fire for three days according to the regulations." People ridiculed him after reading it as "only state officials can set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps." Therefore, later generations often use this sentence to ridicule that overbearing behavior. \x0d\ Yuanxiao also brought inspiration and material for literati's creation, and thus filled out many well-known poems. Zhu, a poetess in the Song Dynasty, had a bad marriage and was unhappy all day after marriage. After watching the lanterns for a year on the Lantern Festival, she was inspired, so she wrote a swan song of the ages: "Last night, the flower market was as bright as day. The moon rose to the willow tree, and he met me at dusk. On the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, the moonlight and lights are still the same as last year. I didn't see it last year and cried Man Chun's shirt sleeve. " The poetess's melancholy and lingering sadness are vividly on the paper, which makes people cry! \x0d\ Eating Lantern Festival has a long history and is a folk tradition in China. But Yuan Shikai became emperor and changed his name three times. "Yuanxiao" and "Yuan Xiao" are homophonic, so Yuan Shikai felt very unlucky, so he wrote a letter: Don't eat Yuanxiao, sweet dumplings. But Yuan Shikai, on second thought, still feels wrong. "Tang Yuan" is not "Tang Yuan" ("Does Tang boil Yuan Shikai?" Therefore, he ordered to change its name to "Tang Tuan". Yuan Shikai changed the name of "Yuanxiao" three times, which led to a folk song: "The great president Hong Xiannian couldn't sleep on the fifteenth night of the first month; Yuanxiao is changed to glutinous rice balls. After Yuan Xiao next year, who will call glutinous rice balls? " Ballads spread like wildfire and spread all over Beijing overnight. Yuan Shikai changed his name regardless of the importance. Obviously, he was just a short-lived emperor, and Yuan Xiao died. \x0d\ x0d \ Zong Rui was one of the most pleasing emperors in the Tang Dynasty. Although he has only been emperor for three years, no matter what festivals, he always spends a lot of material and human resources on extravagance and waste for his plays. Every year, on the Lantern Festival night in the first month of the first month, he sets up a 20 \x0d\ ten-foot-high lamp tree and lights more than 50,000 lamps, the number of which is the fire tree. Later, the poet Su Weidao wrote a poem to describe it. His Yuan Xi poem says: "The fire tree is closed with silver flowers, the star bridge is locked, the dark dust goes with the horse, and the bright moon comes." Prostitutes are in season, songs are all gone, and Jin Wu couldn't help staying up all night. "This poem describes the lively scene at that time. \x0d\ It seems to be active in front of our readers. This idiom is used to describe a place that is brightly lit and looks like a flamingo tree with silver flowers. So now every bustling city, or a grand gathering at night with bright lights \x0d\ is described by this sentence.
