In the cold winter of March 9, the red plum blossoms on the mountain are in full bloom. Strolling along the healthy trails on the mountain, I saw the rows of plum trees standing proudly on the side of the road, and the red plum blossoms bloomed in the branches, looking like a piece of red xia in the distance, and the fragrance came with the wind, refreshing the heart and spleen, making people feel relaxed.
Red plum blossoms, with small petals, thin and strong branches, the flower color is gorgeous and not charming, the aroma is quiet and elegant, and the posture is ancient and beautiful. The colder it is, the more spirited the plum blossoms bloom. Therefore, there is a verse that "the sword blade comes out of the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold".
In the bitter cold, the plum blossoms first, and the spring is unique. In traditional Chinese culture, Mei inspires people to work hard with her noble, strong and modest character. Therefore, there are countless poems praising plum blossoms, and I only love the "Momei" of the Yuan Dynasty Wang Guan: "My family washes the pond head tree, and the flowers bloom light ink marks." Don't be praised for the good color, just leave the air full of dry air. ”
Indeed, a hundred flowers bloom, the spring of competing for beauty, there is no figure of plum blossoms, ice and snow, when the flowers are withering, she is proud of the frost and snow, blooming bright flowers, dark incense attacking people, which in my heart is already a symbol of not willing to go with the flow, otherworldly. And Mo Mei does not want to use bright colors to attract people, please people, and seek people's praise, only willing to emit a fragrance and stay between heaven and earth. So pure, elegant, fragrant, beautiful, simple, indisputable from the world, pure and elegant, floating out of the dust. What kind of charm is this? Isn't that exactly the character I admire and pursue!
For this reason, I always tried my best to find Mo Mei, but I never got my wish. When I grew up, I learned that there was no such plant as the plum. "Mo Mei" is just a self-metaphor for the poet Wang Mian to express his contemptuous and vulgar attitude towards life.
In fact, plum blossoms are the first of the top ten famous flowers in China, and have been cultivated for more than 3,000 years. In Addition to the Mountain, there are plum blossoms in Qujing, riverside park, Qilin Park, outside the South City Gate, and along the Baishi River, in addition to red, there are also white and pink.
The flowers of plum blossoms can be extracted from the essence, and the flowers, leaves, roots and seed kernels can be used in medicine. Plum blossoms are listed as the "Four Gentlemen" together with orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, and are called "Three Friends of the Cold Year" together with pine and bamboo.
