There are six poems about midwinter flowers: the temperature in the mountains is like spring, and the cliffs are far away from seeing plum blossoms
Are there flowers blooming in midwinter? Of course. At this time, the flowers that are in season, there are plum blossoms with buds to be released, or one or two flowers, one or two branches first, called early plums, should be the snow in the midwinter winter solstice, in addition to the microclimate of their respective parties is not the same, or you can also see the blossoming of the anti-season.
The overall scenery in mid-winter is cold and sparse, and these flowers that bloom in winter are particularly fresh and eye-catching.
Let's look at the midwinter blossoms in ancient poetry.
"Xiao Pu Shaoguang is not waiting for an invitation. Consume early with peaches.
Late in the evening, it is half cold.
With a smile, the spring is light, and the makeup test is not all over the rain Xiaoxiao.
The little girl of the owner is pitiful. Northern Song Dynasty · Mao Huan "Huan Xi Sha Qi Four Midwinter New Day, Alone in the Flower Dock, Late Drink Xiao Ran, See Cherries Have Flowers"
This is a warm winter of a certain year, and the climate of the small Yang Spring continues from October to November of the lunar calendar, prompting the small vegetable garden of the Mao family. There are not many cherry blossoms on the cherry blossom tree, and there are not many and beautiful enough.
The spring light of the little garden did not use spring to invite, and secretly told the little cherry blossom the news of spring. The cherry blossoms open early in the evening.
How subtle and light she smiled, along with the blossoms, it was so springy that before it had bloomed, a drizzle fell.
This cherry blossom is as delicate and lovely as the little daughter of the owner' children, blooming in this midwinter.
So why is spring lightly used here? One is that the cherry blossom itself is pink or white, very beautiful, and the second is that there is a mid-winter festival that is the winter solstice and the sun return, which also indicates the arrival of spring and spring.
In Mao Huan's heart, the cherry blossoms are not anti-seasonal blooms, but just perceive the news of spring in advance, and are beautiful in the branches.
"The edge of the cloud ladder trail through the forest foothills, the late mountain cold wind folding wood."
Si Hua gave me spring flowers, and a few red trees were shocked.
There are beautiful people in the empty valley, like laughing at the mountains is always vulgar.
Light smoke and rain Luofu Village, Wanli Xiang will cross the yellow crane. Southern Song Dynasty · Yang Guanqing "In the middle of the winter, I suddenly saw the peach blossom guest Yun Jiang Mei fang and about a smile under the flowers"
A mountain has four seasons, ten miles of different days. Between the rolling mountains with high forest cover, it is easier to give birth to different microclimates. For example, the valley is as warm as spring, although the top of the mountain is snow or the cold wind whistles at the top of the mountain.
Yang Guanqing climbed the mountain from the conventional alpine stone path, and then looked at the rolling mountains below from the top of the mountain, so he saw two different scenery, where he came, the mountain wind whistled, and the mountain wind cold air pushed down the leaves, which was very cold in winter. However, after climbing the mountain, I found that the leeward mountain forest valley actually had a few peach blossoms, which were in full bloom.
Many people who ascend in midwinter are also depressed because they want to stretch their eyesight and mind in an open place, of course, what rewards him is the wonders of the mountains and forests. As if to comfort him, the flowers bloomed for him, and a few peach blossoms surprised his mood, sweeping away the previous melancholy and depression.
As a result, his companion told him with disdainful eyes and tones that this was nothing, that Lingnan Luofu Village, plum blossoms were blooming, and they didn't know how many times better than this.
Two people standing under the peach blossom tree turned to the yearning for plum blossoms, so how to go? There are ten thousand miles, do you ride the yellow crane?
In fact, the dialogue scene here has always been under the peach blossom tree in the mountain, but the content of the discussion is really living up to the brilliant peach blossoms here, and the man has to look at the land and see different thoughts.
But this peach blossom is quiet and lovely, and the atmosphere is indifferent, so I don't care about this disciple. It has its own fairyland in the mountains.
"A spring without plum shoots, loquat flowers have been jade and rugged."
The frost boot belt should take the moss marks and should be disgusted by the lone ape wild crane. Southern Song Dynasty · Hong Zhikuo "The Nine Days of Midwinter Can Also Enter the Tomb of the Nunnery into the Capital"
In this mountain forest cemetery, the plum blossoms did not bloom, not even one, but the loquat flowers were like snow, and a bush was in the branches, like a hill made of jade.
I am here to visit the tomb, and my footsteps alarm the wild cranes and apes here, and the most beautiful sleep in the mountains and forests.
So when my footsteps stepped on the frost marks here, the empty valley left a sound, only afraid that the creatures here would resent me.
The flower that is often overlooked in midwinter is the loquat flower, but the loquat flower is colder and more fragrant, and it has the medicinal effect of treating cough and asthma.
Most people who care about loquat blossoms have experienced the great pain of wind chills, coughing and wheezing.
In the hearts of the sick and tormented, there is no difference between loquat flowers and white angels.
Although the loquat flower is really not very good-looking, it does not have the beauty of the plum blossom, nor the pure white of the pear blossom.
But loquat flowers have a unique kind of reliance on the firm beauty, some people use pine cypress juxtaposition to describe the evergreen of loquat trees and the nobility of loquat flowers.
"Niufu Ridge is high and far away, and the rugged sheep's intestine road is full of turns.
Midwinter trekking sweaty pulp, every sigh of danger and hardship.
The yin and the miserable wind were miserable, and the eyes looked around at the mountains and the crests.
Life can be a few or two, and the traces are no different from rootless.
I live in the south of the mountain, and I don't send the north of the mountain.
The crowd of fierce men swept through the streets and went back and forth in ascetic service.
The temperature in the mountains is like spring, and the plum blossoms are new in the cliffs.
Plum blossoms see spring every year, and there are not many pedestrians. "Late Yuan and Early Ming Dynasty · Shu Wei "Over the Bull Ridge"
This is a person who lives in seclusion in the mountains, and still feels the hardships of the mountain road. Shu Wei lived in the south of the mountain in Niufuling, but his other property was in the north of the mountain, which could be land or the student he wanted to teach. You have to climb mountains every day. But for people who live in the mountains all year round, this winter trek still feels hard and tiring.
For example, I sweat as I walk. But it is not easy to survive in a chaotic world, even if he knows that life is short, he must persist.
So at this time, he saw plum blossoms blooming in the cliff.
The plum blossoms bloom on the cliff, must be facing the sun, so there is a saying that the climate in the mountains is warm as spring.
But he himself was sweating profusely, and I was afraid that he felt extremely hot and cold.
There is a sense of hardship in surviving in the mountains, because in this mountain, there are not many pedestrians all year round. It also shows the hardships of his living environment.
Why did he live here, and how did he end up here to be able to write such poems, presumably a talented man? At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was fierce social turmoil, wars, famines, plagues, and I don't know how many people died. Shu Wei led his family to live in seclusion here, which was the helplessness of the times and the survival of the people. If you know this background, looking at the red plums on the cliffs in the process of climbing the mountain, is there a touching sense of sadness?
His life is like a bitter cold plum blossom, even in the hardships, it is not as good as the plum blossom, but he still perseveres tenaciously for his family.
"When a rain is doubtful, it is cold, and the spin is won by warmth."
Snow is rare in the south, and there is no ice in the middle of winter.
The fragrance of the chrysanthemums is deep, and the vegetables are similar to each other.
The forest is thin and the stone road is thin, and the monks across the creek are seen in the distance. "Late Song dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty · Fang Hui "Rain Doesn't Make Snow"
It's a warm winter, it's snowy midwinter without any snow, and the night temperatures continue above freezing.
I thought that a rainy temperature would drop, forming sleet, but rain is rain, and there is no meaning of snow at all.
Those late chrysanthemums are still in full bloom, with a strong aroma, and the vegetables in the garden are green.
The midwinter of Jiangnan is like a beautiful spring and late autumn.
In fact, in Jiangnan or Lingnan, the flowering period of chrysanthemums will be longer, and even fresh blooming chrysanthemums can be seen in the New Year.
In the wild, there are more varieties of Asteraceae and are more hardy. Just for your eyes to learn to discover.
"The banana leaves on the wall are still green, and the peach blossoms on the ridge are free to red."
In the middle of winter, He Shu was warm in spring, and the barbarian lady laughed at the bamboo around the east. "Qing · Huang Shuxuan ,壬寅1722 Midwinter Over the Dou Liu Men Works》
Where is this? There are also plantains in the corner of the wall, and peach blossoms are free to open on the mound.
Midwinter is still as warm as spring, and ethnic minority women are laughing around the bamboo.

In Beijing, when the wind and snow are fluttering in the middle of winter, the peach blossoms are in full bloom here, and the four seasons are like spring.
Let us look for the flowers in the winter, look for the blossoms that amaze our vision, bless the life and flowers in the tenacious winter, and bless our own hearts, such as the blossoms are undefeated.
