author:Read good poetry
After the summer, loofahs become the favorite of the people. Its sweet and crisp taste, humble shape, elegant yellow flowers, and the shade of vines have left a piece of beauty in people's hearts.
Loofah is native to India, introduced to China in the late Tang and early Song dynasties, and has gradually become one of the vegetables that people often eat in China. In the Song Dynasty, some literati wrote about loofahs when writing poems, such as fang feng's "Sending Willow Dao to Huang Jinqing's Two Lives" written by Fang Feng in the Song Dynasty: "According to the five loofahs, lead the vine wall out" and so on. Another theory is that loofah was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica" compiled by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, there is: "Loofah, which was not known before the Tang and Song Dynasties, is now available in both the north and the south, and is thought to be a regular vegetable." ”
When the loofah is tender, the loofah meat can be eaten as a dish. Li Shizhen pointed out in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Peel when tender, cook or expose, order tea and vegetables", "its flower buds and young leaves, tendrils, can also be eaten." ”
Loofah green vines and green leaves, during the melon season, a strip of loofah hanging on the shelf, really give people a light and elegant beauty. Although the melon is not a noble plant, the literati of the past generations have preferred loofah.
