The early spring spring festival and rain festival are the initial stages of spring shoot germination. Bamboo shoots are the young shoots on the whip stems under the bamboo, hidden in the soil in winter are called winter shoots, and after the spring, the ones that break out of the soil are called spring shoots.
In ancient times, people found the edible value of bamboo shoots, and among the sacrificial foods of the Zhou Dynasty, there were bamboo shoots, which were already famous for their mountain treasures. So does digging up and eating bamboo shoots have an impact on bamboo?
Usually winter shoots are buried in the soil, although it is a small bud that grows out of bamboo to feel the earth, but often in the winter out of the soil is unable to withstand the low temperature and cold of the ground, often freeze to death, so excavating winter shoots, for bamboo has little impact. And the winter shoots buried shallow on the surface have also become winter animals, the best winter food.
So early spring shoots, because the temperature and rain are relatively sufficient, it is easy to thrive after a spring rain, forming a spectacular bamboo shoot forest, at this time the bamboo shoots, of course, can grow into bamboo, but because of the many and dense, and suitable for the growth of bamboo shoots The most abundant spring rainy season has not yet arrived, so the bamboo shoots at this time, suitable for digging and eating, on the one hand, to keep the nutrients of the bamboo forest not consumed by too much bamboo shoots, on the other hand, you can wait until the bamboo shoots in mid-spring, choose strong retention, which is conducive to the management and growth of the bamboo forest.
Therefore, the bamboo shoots in the early spring can not only be eaten, but also dug up.
Because we've heard of mushrooms after the rain, this idiom. The bamboo shoots in the early spring are many and strong, and the kind of grandeur that breaks out of the ground makes people feel the vitality of bamboo in spring.
"Countless spring shoots are full of trees, and the firewood door is secretly hidden.
It will have to be seen as bamboo, and the guest will never be able to greet it. "Don · Du Fu's three absolute sentences are three spring shoots
Du Fu, 50 years old, was in Du Fu Caotang in the early spring of this year, and after a spring rain in the nearby bamboo forest, countless spring shoots flourished. Modern people yearn for Du Fu's grass hall life, but in fact, it is not so beautiful. In order to escape the chaos of Anshi, Du Fu came to Sichuan with his family and children, basically poor, with the help of friends, built a grass hall, is only a place to live, he gave people as a staff, the salary is limited, and he is not at home for many years, his wife and children live with limited salaries, extreme poverty, there is no way for him to go home and cultivate land, that is, the family often hunger and fullness.
Last autumn, a local hurricane swept away the thatch on the hut to shelter from the wind and rain, presumably this thatch is still a rare local building material, the local people picked up the bundles and carried them home, and did not return them to him, and the strong wind was followed by torrential rain. Poor Du Fu must have shrunk his clothes and food again, and went around asking for loans to repair the roof.
Saying this means why Du Fu actually refused to come to his friends for the sake of bamboo shoots, and was impatient to greet them.
This bamboo forest is on the edge of Du Fu's caotang, or it is natural, or it is planted by him, and it has become a forest. At this time, after the spring rain, countless bamboo shoots grew out, not to see the bamboo shoots, but because the bamboo shoots can provide household food.
He must dig it out as soon as possible, otherwise the bamboo shoots grow very fast, a day or two of hard work, may not be able to eat, and the bamboo shoots are too dense, it is impossible to get a good bamboo, so he must dig up most of them as soon as possible, and selectively retain some of the bamboo shoots.
Judging from the available information, Du Fu could not afford to hire servants, and the main labor force in the family was him.
Therefore, during this time, he was very hard, worried about the bamboo forest, and for the visiting guests, he also had a kind of inner fatigue and helplessness, because socializing takes time, and the survival of their family has to rely on this bamboo forest to maintain. This is already the bottom line of sour embarrassment.
He simply closed the door and let the guests come without responding or greeting.
Because at this time he was holding a hoe, planing bamboo shoots, while shaving bamboo shoots, while studying which ones to keep. This bamboo forest management is both physical and intellectual work. Probably all the movement outside was not important to Du Fu.
And in the bamboo forest and spring shoots, naturally there is also a kind of fun of labor, looking at the countless spring shoots around him, giving him unlimited survival and hope for the future.
Du Fu also knew that Li Chun's first spring shoots were the sweetest and freshest, and if this bamboo forest was large enough, the spring shoots he obtained would also sell some money back. Du Fu was a compassionate man, and he refused to allow his wife and children to suffer with him in this way.
He was tired and happy.
"This state is a bamboo township, full of spring shoots in the valley.
The mountain man folded and hugged, hugging the morning market.
Things are more cheap, and double money is easy to bunch.
Place in a cooking bowl and cook at the same time as rice.
Purple jade, vegetarian muscle new jade.
Eat more every day, and don't think about meat after a while.
For a long time as a Jingluoke, this taste is often insufficient.
And do not hesitate to eat, the south wind blows bamboo. "Don · Bai Juyi", "Eating Bamboo Shoots"
As a mountain treasure, especially fresh bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots are not only delicious in taste, but also inconvenient to traffic in the past. Not every bamboo forest bamboo shoot is delicious, bamboo shoots are the best in the rainy mountain forest area. But since the bamboo shoots are the young shoots of bamboo, in the ancient times when the preservation technology was backward, the spring shoots that arrived in the city after layers of transportation and loss were on the tables of the dignitaries and nobles, in the words of Li Shangyin, it was as expensive as gold.
But the mountain people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains are different, and Bai Juyi, who likes bamboo shoots, comes to the bamboo town and is simply very happy.
It is the season when spring shoots fill the valley again, the peasants go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, and a few of them are full of chests, and they will sell the bamboo shoots they dug up early, and one is only two dollars. Most of the things here are cheap, usually eat it, directly in the water to cook, rice cooked, bamboo shoots are also cooked.
Bai Juyi was a person who had seen the great world in Luoyang, Chang'an, and knew the attitude towards spring shoots there.
Because the value is expensive, the purple coat of bamboo shoots is called splendid embroidery, and the delicate flesh of bamboo shoots is compared to jade skin.
But here, everyone is not only accustomed to eating, home-cooked diet, but also hate that you can't eat a little more, because these bamboo shoots are not dug out, do not eat, a few days of kung fu will grow into small bamboo, not only can not eat, but also consume the nutrition of the bamboo forest.
Therefore, bamboo shoots are really a selfless gift from the bamboo forest to human beings, and the poor are happy, and the rich are also happy. With bamboo shoots, the poor have more food and more income, and the rich have more mouth blessings and more arrogance.

Bamboo forests almost do not need to carry out too much management, it is naturally dense, can be naturally shaded, of course, if you want to get high-quality bamboo, then you have to dig out many bamboo shoots to prevent the nutrient consumption of bamboo growth.
But the bamboo forest in the countryside is often in a semi-natural stocking state, watching the mushrooms spring up after the rain, emerge from the soil, grow into bamboo, and many people have a sense of joy in life.
For example, in the bamboo forest in this poem, the rhizomes grow underground, and when the shoots come out, they have already passed through the fence fence on the soil, and life is fearless and explores the distance.
They have protruded out of the fence, backed by green rocks, and on the edge of a pond, many new shoots have grown.
This poem is not written about a bamboo shoot, but about the root of the bamboo, which has extremely strong vitality and expansion, and those bamboo shoots are the descendants of the extension of the big bamboo, and they are the strength of its roots. A bamboo whip, walking like a dragon, grows tall bamboo shoots along the terrain.
Moreover, bamboo shoots also have directions, with curvatures formed by relying on terrain. This is also how many people see bamboo shoots are curved.
Therefore, the ancients compared bamboo to a dragon, and bamboo shoots are dragon grandchildren, which is to emphasize the vitality of bamboo.
Bamboo is evergreen in all seasons, representing a high purity and longevity, so the poet has it, almost all plants are worried about the spring past, only bamboo and bamboo shoots, forever green, full of inner tension and vitality.

Don't think that digging bamboo shoots is the life of mountain people, because bamboo shoots are expensive, digging bamboo shoots is also a pleasure in spring, especially in the ownerless bamboo forest, which is the best place to dig bamboo shoots, and also gives birth to the process and fun of finding mountain treasures.
For example, this Fengyang is rich in bamboo and bamboo shoots.
The local governor also has his own local characteristics to entertain guests, whether to dig up spring shoots, that is, to find out the expensive spring shoots in the city, do not spend money.
This mountain village has the joy of the scholars and doctors who are locked up in the city, and it is not expensive, and it also satisfies the pastoral ideas, and there are mountain treasures that are personally found from the mountain.
As a result, when I arrived at the mountain of spring shoots, I saw a large piece of purple bamboo shoots, which was spectacular and joyful.

"The clouds are chaotic, the evening makeup is broken,
With a hateful eyebrow far away.
Oblique cheeks spring shoot lazy,
For whom and tears lean on dry. Nantang · Li Yu,"TricksterIng The Second Spring Hate"
There are many varieties of bamboo in the south, and naturally there is a slender spring shoot like a finger.
This poem does not have much to look at, Li Yunan's rich life after the Tang Dynasty, there is no shortage of mountains and treasures and seafood, but it seems that he is the first poet to compare spring shoots to beautiful fingers.
It is precisely because of his metaphor that the fingers are like mushrooms, which has become a common metaphor and pronoun for the beautiful jade hand.
It is extremely rampant, and in ancient poetry, it is often seen that the fingers of beautiful women are spring shoots.
I think Cao Xueqin also couldn't stand it, so she changed the beautiful woman's fingers to water onions.
In fact, I can't bear it, why are they all mixed with food?

When it was time to leave, the friend clinging to it, suddenly said, this spring shoots at the door can be eaten, are you willing to come over often and accompany me to eat the bamboo shoots here?
If this is me, if I have time, I will absolutely laugh and blossom.

If you want to fish for the sea, make a long rod for the spring shoots. Northern Song Dynasty · Cai Zhao, "He Shensi Sent The Second Zhang Di"
Bamboo is known as the earth dragon, and in response to the spring rain and thunder, those spring shoots emerge like a dragon looking up.
Therefore, the thousands of acres of bamboo garden here are described as the home of dragons and snakes, and the bamboo roots are like dragons, entrenched in the rocks of the mountains.
Waiting for the spring rain and spring thunder, it woke it up, and there were spring shoots everywhere, which were the scales and claws of the dragon to take off, and had already shown great vitality.
Since bamboo has such a strong vitality, it must leave the strongest spring shoots and let it grow into a pole.
