Forest stories | sycamore blossoms

There is a plane tree in the courtyard of the power supply station adjacent to the courtyard of the Jiangzhuang Branch of the Gaomi City Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China, and a small half branch protrudes into the courtyard of the bank. When I go to work in the early morning, I can feel a faint sense of tranquility in the bank yard. Looking up, the tall plane tree is full of sycamore flowers, the branches are thick and staggered, and the flowers are clustered, which is dizzying.

Sycamore blossoms, light pink trumpets filled with thick stories waiting to be broadcast. The small trumpet flower crown, like a girl's luo skirt, has a beautiful beauty, a fairy aura in the straight, and a wordless shyness. The floral fragrance is refreshing and refreshing.

The petals of each trumpet are curled outwards and extend outwards, and the surface of the petals has a short layer of hairs, tender and soft. The colors go from light to dark, and they shine against the sun and bloom to the fullest!

Pick up a flower to watch, the stem stem is inserted with five thin waterdrop-shaped petals, and there are a few slightly yellowish in the middle of the petals, and the red buds of pollen can be seen. The color of the core gradually becomes lighter from the root to the tip of the core, lining the pattern of the petals. The petals gradually lighten from the end of the stem to the end of the petal due to the color of the core. Lick the flower stalk and it's sweet. Sniff the flower bucket, the fragrance is mixed with a bitter taste.

It is said that the flower language of the sycamore flower is the first opening of the love sinus. Spring blossoms late, the breath is idyllic, and it symbolizes loyal love and beautiful character. In addition, it represents loneliness and sorrow.

The initial feelings of the love sinus, even if there is no result, will still become the most important good memories in life, and can even accompany a lifetime.

On the mainland, there is a saying that "sycamores treat each other with old age, and Mandarin ducks die together". The Folk Song of Lefu "Peacock Flying Southeast" has "East and west plant pines, left and right planted sycamores." There is a cloud in the Book of Poetry: "The phoenix is singing, in The High Gang." Sycamore is born, and the sun rises in the air. Yong Yong Tweet. There is still an idiom that "good birds choose trees and roost".

Zhuangzi also mentioned the plane tree in the "Autumn Water Chapter". When Zhuangzi saw Keiko, he said, "There is a bird in the south, and its name is Wanchi, does the son know it?" Fu Wanchi, originating in the South China Sea and flying in the North Sea, is not more than a plane tree. ”

Wutong can even make Li Hou lord (Li Yu) send out sad tears, "Speechless alone on the West Building, the moon is like a hook, the lonely Wutong Deep Courtyard lock Qingqiu." Cutting continuously, rationalizing is still chaotic, and it is sad. Don't be the general taste in your heart. "Seeing the old branches of the tung flowers again, the smoke and rain on the first floor are miserable." Who would be, unconsciously tearful eyes low. There is no more delicate posture in the layer city, and the festival is not self-sustaining. There was the old smoke moon of that year, and the moths in Hibiscus City were crying. ”

In the thirty-seventh episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is a "phoenix soaring over a thousand and one thousands of people, not in a sycamore." Shifu is on one side, and the non-Lord is not dependent." Therefore, in the former solid house, sycamores were often planted in the yard, not only because the sycamores were imposing, but also because the sycamores were the symbol of auspiciousness.

The sycamore blossoms, the breeze soaking, the sweet fragrance, lingering in the ears, penetrating in the lungs, can't help but let me travel back to a few years ago:

When I was a child, I was most impressed by the courtyard (yard) of every household, and there were plane trees planted at the end of the village. Sycamore sprouts rapidly, like bamboo straight, and the leaves of the verdant sycamore are wide and turquoise like large lotus leaves, and crossed and grow upwards. On rainy days, the top is taken off to cover the head from the rain, often covering the head full of emptiness. When it grows into a big tree, it feels that it grows slowly, and the leaves change from tender green to light green, from light green to emerald green, from emerald green to dark green, from "big broad leaves" to small and thick "tuft leaves" like palms.

"Flowers fall silently and soundlessly, awakening the dreams of young people." When the tree fell on the ground of plane flowers, tired of playing, lying in the sea of flowers, he woven a small garland to wear on his hand or a large garland hanging on his neck, full of pride like a big hero full of honor. When he sees people, he shows off and happily shows off, as if he is the bride and groom in his dreams. There is also a little girl who loves beauty, and wears the sycamore flower peduncle and braids.

In the autumn, the sycamore leaves fell, the mother used a small piece of wood to tie the tail of the rope, tied an old chopstick on the rope head, let me pick the sycamore leaves, string the leaves, dry and cook as a fire grass, an autumn can string a small stack, the father every time he counts on the shadow wall, he feels a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes I race with my friends, dragging a long sycamore string in the alley, like a big long worm snaking, specifically to scare timid girls, that scene is still vivid today!

There is a beautiful legend of sycamore, there is an old saying in my hometown, called "there is a plane tree at home, and it attracts a golden phoenix". The second uncle is a high school student in the village, due to the high family composition, can not recommend to go to college, had to honestly return to the village to receive poor and lower middle peasant re-education. Although the family's life is difficult, the second uncle is clean every day, and he can't get rid of the cultural atmosphere when he is tired and tired. As soon as the girl of the village branch graduated from primary school, she returned to the village to earn work points, and everything was strong and competitive, it was Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan in the village, who were also selected into the third echelon, but they looked at the poor sour gas of the second uncle.

Zhishu was furious when he heard the news, and Inuyasha dared to climb the tiger girl high. Soon a quasi-state cadre was selected from the township for his daughter.D. It just so happens that the township is recruiting social office cadres (contract cadres), and the second uncle meets the conditions, but the secretary just does not give the stamp to register.

The following year, the sycamore blossomed, the spring conscription, the second uncle "tested" the soldiers. The secretary still did not want to let people go, and the troop pick-up officer identified the second uncle's high school education, so he found the village and must recruit soldiers. In the end, the second uncle made a guarantee, and the family invited guests, and the second uncle put on the military uniform.

When he arrived at the army, the second uncle was like a fish, and he received awards for meritorious service one after another, and soon became a volunteer soldier and also became a quasi-cadre (non-commissioned officer). I don't know if the secretary listened to the whispers of the sycamore flowers on the starry night of spring, but did he ever feel the slightest guilt?!

Later, I was admitted to Shandong Agricultural University and found that sycamore flowers also have the effect of clearing heat, detoxification, dampness and swelling, etc., and can be used to treat various diseases such as unfavorable urination, edema, swelling and toxin, tinea capitis and so on. It also has a certain effect on sore throat, cough, hot cold, etc. It has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of obesity such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia.

"Green trees, swaying, jagged." The earthy fragrance of the sycamore flowers mixed with the sweet tenderness of affection made me intoxicated. In the sycamore flower falling calmly and indifferently, the insults are forgotten, and the heart is quiet, as if it is back to childhood.
