On March 12, the weather was fine, walking into Nanjing Mochou Lake Park, I saw a large area of willow trees germinating in the park, which meant that spring had arrived.
The willow tree is the messenger of spring, and its long willow thread senses the breath of spring and spits out new green in the wind. The willow tree is not only a symbolic symbol of spring, but also given more connotations in traditional culture. Willow is one of the native tree species in China, with thousands of years of cultivation history, and the word "willow" is found in the oracle bone. Historically, willow trees were also known as "trees", which represented a type of tree that retained its trunk for reuse.
The budding of willow trees means the arrival of spring. Although, the following week, we were frozen into dogs again, but the footsteps of spring are still near.
Throughout the ages, the willow color of the willow tree has carried too much emotion of the poet. Tang Dynasty He Zhizhang's "Wing Liu" should be the most appropriate poem: jasper is made into a tree high, and ten thousand green silk tassels hang down. I don't know who cut the fine leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors.
In the past, I used to be in the past, Willow Yiyi...· As early as the Book of Poetry, there is a description of Yang Liu yiyi blowing with the phoenix. There is also a verse in the "Little Ya Shu Liu" that reads, "There is a willow that has a willow, but it is not yet resting", and later "willow" refers to a willow tree with lush foliage. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Garden and Tianju (Part I)" also used "the back eaves of the elm willow shade" to express his love for pastoral life.
In the poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the good sentences describing willow trees are even more frequent, and many of them are well-known: Wang Wei depicts the freshness after the morning rain with "guest house green willow color new"; Du Fu's "two yellow orioles singing green willows" is quite picture-like; Wang Zhizhuo's "Qiang flute why do you have to complain about yang willows" is intriguing; The song Dynasty Liu Yong's "Yang Liu An, Xiao Feng Remnant Moon" words are mournful and sincere; "Red crispy hands, yellow wine, full of spring color palace wall willows" is a famous sentence in Lu You's "Phoenix Phoenix Red Crispy Hand", in the spring color ripples, Someone is as far away as a willow tree in the palace wall...
Poets of the Tang Dynasty always seem to be able to relate to "willow", and Yang Juyuan also had a poem of "waterside willow koji dust, immediately bother the king to fold a branch", revealing the reluctance of parting and the love of folding willows. Li Bai expressed the woman's longing for her lover in the poem "Folding Willows and Weeping Yang Blowing Green Water" with the verse "Climbing the strip and folding the spring color, far away from the dragon court".
Liu Zongyuan's two sentences in "Planting Willow Drama Title" are simple and easy to understand. Historically, Liu Zongyuan served as the assassin of Liuzhou, and he forced "Liuzhou to plant willows" and personally went to the Liu River to plant many willow trees. Under the administration of Liu Zongyuan, the appearance of Liuzhou City was greatly improved, and he was also known as "Liuliu Prefecture" by posterity.
In addition to chanting willows, folding willows, and planting willows, in some traditional customs, they would also plant willows, wear willows and shoot willows.
Many of Nanjing's place names are related to "Liu", such as Liuying, Liuye Street, Siliu Village, Xiaoliu Road, Liuzhou Road, etc., which can be visited one by one on a chosen day.
