Since childhood, I have loved to appreciate persimmons and also like to eat persimmons. During the years of service in the snowy plateau, he often dreamed of fire crystal persimmons in his hometown. Persimmon grew up with me and blessed me through the first reincarnation of my life.
Persimmons are a common fruit in the Guanzhong region and the latest to ripen naturally. When other fruits are harvested, it shines. In particular, the fire crystal persimmons around the Lintong Terracotta Warriors and Horses and Huaqing Palace are treasures in the persimmon circle due to their high quality. Every year in November, the northern foothills of Lishan Mountain can be said to be a sea of persimmons, and the roads, fruit markets, streets and alleys are lined with tempting fire crystal persimmons, or in hand-woven bamboo cages, or in beautifully patterned boxes, and some hanging under the eaves of their own houses.
I like the tree type of persimmon. Drought-resistant and hardy are not arrogant, and barren land is also rooted. Whether it is next to a ditch, a sandy beach, a hillside, or a cliff, there are persimmon trees, without watering, without management, it can survive tenaciously. If it rains a little, it will be rejuvenated, growing particularly lush, and repaying the grace of God. From a distance, the persimmon tree looks like an enlarged bonsai, with a beautiful shape, but also like an open umbrella, standing in the wind, frost, snow and rain. Fire crystal persimmon trunk is very high, the tree is very large, generally covers an area of about half an acre, is a good place to cool off in the summer, and has a long lifespan, some trees can reach more than 500 years old. After the wind and rain, the four seasons are rounded, the bark is cracked and rough, appearing old and heavy, vigorous and majestic, giving people the infection and strength of perseverance, indomitability and courage to move forward.
I love the color of persimmons. Spring comes, the persimmon tree grows small buds, and in May it blooms small yellow flowers, followed by small green fruits, and from a distance, the eyes are full of green, and the fruits and leaves are difficult to distinguish. Entering the early autumn, the temperature is around 30 degrees, and the persimmons turn from green to yellow, giving people a refreshing and warm feeling under the foil of green leaves. After the frost falls, the temperature gradually drops, the leaves turn yellow, the fruits turn red, yellow and red, and the colors are colorful. Stepping into the Standing Winter Festival, the leaves are blown off by the wind, leaving only the fruit of the tree. Looking up, persimmons are like lanterns hanging in the sky, one by one, cluster by cluster, string by string, under the illumination of the sun, transparent and crystalline, gorgeous like fire, swaying with the wind, dancing up and down, flocks of birds flying around, chirping, like a symphony concert, forming a harmonious picture of the coexistence of man and bird world.
I love the taste of persimmons. Persimmons are hard just picked and cannot be eaten immediately, and must be left for a period of time to soften. After the frost falls, the persimmon skin is white, as if coated with a thin layer of frost, white and red, beautiful to the extreme. The skin of the fire crystal persimmon is as thin as paper, which can be peeled and eaten directly, or sucked with a tube, and it will be sweet to the throat eye at once, which is endlessly evocative. If it is made into a persimmon cake, soft and sticky throat, straight to the heart field, even foreigners have extended their big fingers to praise. Vinegar brewed from persimmons has a high acidity and a seductive aroma, making it an indispensable condiment for pasta. Persimmons are not only delicious, moist and blood pressure-lowering, but also nutritious, and persimmon juice can replace breastfeeding babies. Persimmon juice is also a natural, pollution-free, low-cost beauty product. Especially in the cold winter months, insisting on applying an appropriate amount of persimmon juice to the face and hands can protect the skin and achieve the effect of anti-wrinkle and anti-cracking, beauty and beauty.
This is exactly:
Shaped like a lantern hanging in the sky,
Raced over agate dotted red;
What is the fear of ice and snow,
Standing tall in the sky.
After the frost falls, the color is bright and thick,
Plump and shiny body;
Look up under the winter sun,
My eyes were red.
Tough and drought tolerant with long life,
Persimmon Ruyi is auspicious;
Stuffed vinegar into medicine to make bonsai,
The sweetness of food is famous.
