Seven poems of early spring flowers bloom: fine leaves and weeping green hair, flourishing and splendid clusters of gold
Twenty-four flower trade winds began to be popular around the Song Dynasty, from the small cold to the valley rain period, eight festivals of twenty-four weather, corresponding to twenty-four kinds of flowers that bloom at the right time. Among them, the spring flowers are listed as the first flower of the Spring Festival.
So why does the spring flower have such a status?
First, the spring flowers bloom in late winter and early spring, slightly later than plum blossoms, but like plum blossoms, they flower first and then leaves, and the flowers are golden and brilliant, and they are cheerful and dazzling in early spring.
Second, the artificial cultivation of spring flowers, at least as far back as the Middle Tang Dynasty, has become an indispensable seasonal flower in the early spring of the Year. Because the daily use of flowers by the Song Dynasty people was the crown of the dynasties, such as the appreciation of flowers according to the festivals of men and women, it promoted the excavation and cultivation of various flowers.
"Fortunately, it is similar to the pine reed, and it does not bloom with the peach and plum for a while."
How dare the apricot garden hinder the king from going, and when there is no flower, it seems. Don · Bai Juyi,"Liu Langzhong, The Flower Trick of Spring On Behalf of The Spring"
Bai Juyi was born into a small bureaucratic family, when he was a child, he lived in the rural townships of Fuli all year round, he loved nature and was close to the land, after entering the career, repeated ups and downs, he resolved his own way is very simple, that is, in different places to find and cultivate different plants, such as mountain cherry blossoms are he transplanted from the mountains to the garden, and with his promotion, it became a famous ornamental flower tree in the Tang Dynasty courtyard, and then spread to Japan. In his later years, he became a famous garden and flower expert in the Tang Dynasty, often guiding the people of the capital to plant flowers and trees.
It was in his later years that he settled in Luoyang, where he planted spring flowers in his family's courtyard. In the early spring, when the spring flowers bloomed, he invited his friend Liu Yuxi to come and enjoy it together.
Then it is certain that the Spring Flower existed before him, and the name is Called Yingchun, which is the name of ordinary mountain people, simple and grounded. Where did he get it? In his later years, he liked to go to Xiangshan near the capital, this kind of long-branched wildflower that grows on the side of the mountain forest road, mixed in the bushes, may not be very colorful in the mountain forest, but Bai Juyi has the unique insight to see.
Transplanted to a clean courtyard, giving a relatively loose space, so that the branches of the spring flowers are fully stretched, when the spring flowers bloom in early spring, it is no less than the lush little yellow chrysanthemum, and the canopy is full, long as hair, fresh and bright.
Liu Yuxi was also a well-informed official, at least he had seen thousands of flowers of peach and plum blooming in Sichuan, Bai Juyi specifically asked Liu Yuxi to come and see his spring flowers, one was to find a reason to drink, and the other was to let Liu Yuxi see his cultivation achievements and the garden craftsmanship of turning stones into gold.
Luckily, I put the spring flowers and pine bamboo together, so it looks good.
Spring flowers are slightly earlier than peach plums, so don't compete with them.
I know you like peach plum apricots, you said that you will go to the apricot garden in early spring to see the apricot blossoms, if the apricot blossoms there are not blooming, you might as well turn to me, although the spring is not as tall as the peach apricots, but it has a different taste. You'll know when you come here.
The poem is a foreshadowing, not saying the color of the spring flowers, nor saying that it is beautiful.
But I think when Liu Yuxi came over, he must have been surprised that this early spring was so bright and golden flowers bloomed, beautiful and moving. To know Bai Juyi's flower raising technology, this will no longer be a wildflower in the barren land and bushes in the mountains, but a fluffy and magnificent flower.
"Jin Yingcui calyx with spring cold, there are several yellow flowers.
With the grace of the king and the humanity of the tourists, Mo Zuo Manjing flower eyes. Don · Bai Juyi "Playing With Spring Flowers for Yang Langzhong"
Another kind of garden flower planting success, if you start in front of Liu Yuxi, Bai Juyi is still low-key, with Liu Yuxi's amazing praise, Bai Juyi is definitely confident. This does not have friends or Fengyuan, or admiration to see, Baiju Yile is unbearable. And Bai Juyi has this good point, he will never plant flowers and plants as a strange commodity. At that time, the peony in the capital was a shallow book, and the simple Bai Juyi never relied on these profits, such as the seeds of the loquat tree lychee tree he had, as long as someone wanted to plant, he gave the planting instructions for free, and the package was taught.
This no, this spring flower, he took the initiative to publicize it again. He picked out the best spring flowers, and even gave them to Yang Langzhong with flowers, and he was not low-key, saying that yingchun was beautiful.
Gold is the flower, emerald green calyx, with the cold of early spring, how many flowers can bloom such a dazzling yellow?
You plant them in the garden garden, let such flowers amaze them, to tell them, this is not an ordinary arabesque flower, the vine flowers bloom in March, is it so hardy and beautiful?
The blossoms of the arabesque are similar to rape flowers, and they are certainly common compared to the spring flowers.
I often laugh at Bai Juyi's life as a farmer, a mother-in-law mouth. But it is also in this way that the artificial cultivation of spring flowers soon spread throughout the garden. Because this flower only needs the right space, a little tidying, it is brilliant.
"Shallow warbler feathers, fibrous strips knotted rabbit silk."
Biased early spring hair, should be criticized by the public fang late. Northern Song Dynasty · Yan Shu 《Welcome Spring Flower》
In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the spring flower has become a new year's festival flower. Because of the good breeding, early spring flowering, the palace garden is often planted, and it is not a particularly valuable flower. However, in the first month when the peach and plum are not yet in full bloom, although the plum blossoms are gorgeous, there are not many flowers after all. Yingchun just fills the gap of low-dimensional vision.
Taller than the grass, shorter than the peach plum, it is precisely the most suitable position for people's sight, and a fluffy tree and a tree bloom in the spring.
The pale yellow flower, like the feathers of a yellow warbler, rested on the flexible branch, and the branch stretched softly like a silk.

"Plum Fan Peach scraped his eyes, and the East Wind entered the Nine Heavy City first."
The yellow flowers and green vines are unattended, and the waves are famous in the world. Northern Song Dynasty · Liu Chang's "Two Songs of Welcoming Spring Flowers Part I"
Spring flowers are indeed not famous flowers. People often have a big name in the spring, go to see the plum blossoms, go to see the peach blossoms, especially the early spring and mid-spring of the peach and plum spring wind, not many people say, I go to see the spring flowers.
First, it is difficult for such a long vine to form a forest like peach and plum trees.
Second, the spring flowers occupy the place, so they are only used as a supplement to the flowers and trees on both sides of the road, and the cover of tall flowers.
Therefore, spring flowers are easy to ignore. In the peach and plum garden, even if the beautiful spring flowers bloom around you, the bright yellow flowers, delicate in front of your eyes, it is easy to be regarded as ordinary flowers and plants.
But if you look closely, closer, the spring flowers are hidden on the sideburns of your chest, that kind of bright yellow emerald green, flexible and moving beauty, really fresh. This poem is actually a lament for the neglect of the spring flower.

Next, Liu Chang began to write about the beauty of the spring flowers. Yingchun flowers in the depths of the garden, bright yellow flowers make you feel that the new year of the year has arrived, Yingchun flowers are so low-key, do not compete with peach and plum fame, it has its own spring intentions full of branches, ushering in its own gorgeous spring.
The spring flowers bloom for a long time, basically late winter and early spring until late spring.

Embroidered in The Robe is really interesting, not will be red and purple tired Chan Juan. Northern Song Dynasty · Wei Jun's "Spring Flowers"
In the early spring of the peach and plum in the future, the spring flowers will bloom brilliantly, and the yellow flowers of the spring flowers will indeed have the exuberance of the plum blossoms and spring willows in the early spring, so it is not a vain name to call it spring.
You look at the thin little leaves, growing on the branches like hair, furry and lovely, and you see the golden flowers blooming densely and brilliantly, like the golden flowers on the heads of beautiful women.
Because spring blooms early, even if it is a golden flower, the yellow warbler is not jealous, but the branches sway with each other, and the yellow flowers are as fresh and delicate as chrysanthemums.
The girls embroidered spring flowers on their clothes, which showed the beauty of the girls' red faces. So girls must like to welcome spring.

About the twenty-four solar terms of flowers, there is no complete version of the Song Dynasty handed down. But among the flowers that are already known, there are spring flowers that are spring in the spring festival.
This poem is actually a good proof.
Spring flowers, in the cold and warm winter and spring, waiting for spring, thousands of flexible strips, full of flowers, with a determined attitude to welcome spring.
On the wild branches, there are golden finch-like flowers, and the blooming flowers contain spring dew, attracting bees to fly up and down.
Thousands of flowers bloom, all of which start from the spring flowers, leading the three months of infinite spring light.
Every year, the spring flowers first occupy the spring sun, and then the flowers bloom like a party.
This poem clearly states that the Song Dynasty has given the first flowers of Lichun and spring to the beautiful spring flowers.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty compiled the twenty-four solar terms of the flower trade wind, with the spring flower as the first flower of spring, which continues to this day.
When you enjoy the plum blossoms in early spring, don't forget to look for beautiful spring flowers.
