Orchid literally refers to the orchid flower, orchid refers to the orchid leaf, a closer look at you will find that there is a problem with the sentence I said earlier, today this topic is more special, a little roundabout, like no disease groaning, orchid now refers to orchid, why is it also said that it is the flower of the orchid, this is not a language disease, the meaning is not accurate, the word is not up to the meaning, if according to this logic, then for the "orchid" how should we call, is it feel that something is wrong, the flower and the grass itself refers to two different things, the flower is the flower, the grass is the grass, Now it is a mixture of talk, this problem has troubled some Lan friends, and it has also troubled me.
In fact, whether there is a flowering orchid or not, we are collectively called orchids, or orchids, I now think there is no problem in calling it so, as long as others can accurately know what you mean, if you can't understand you change a word that others can understand. If you really want to be accurate, you can be called "orchid", "Chinese orchid" or "national orchid", the orchid when there is no flower is called orchid, and the orchid when there is a flower and specifically refers to the flower when it is called an orchid.
The word "orchid" in ancient times refers to a pole of a flower of the spring orchid, a multi-flower called "Hui", the famous ancient books have "Lan Hui Small History", "Lan Hui Mirror", Lan Hui Concentric Record", so it seems that there is still a problem with the call "Lan", the ancients cherished ink like gold, chewing words, the description of things will be accurately summarized with words, and now some words have changed, such as "蕙" in the present specifically refers to HuiLan, I see the data that the ancient multi-flowered Jianlan is also called Hui, Jianlan and Huilan now belong to two different orchid species, They are different in terms of form, flowering period and region, Jianlan is Jianlan, Huilan is Huilan, and the definition and classification are very clear.
The ultimate purpose of the name or title is that others can understand, as for how you call it, there is no need to be too entangled, but when it comes to cultural inheritance, it must be accurate, in the article I will first call it "Orchid", we locally call the orchid on the mountain collectively called "Orchid Flower", as to whether it is Chunlan or Huilan does not have to be so clear, the song "Orchid Grass" calls the orchid "Orchid Grass", the lyrics "I come from the mountains, with orchid grass" are well-known, orchids actually have many other names, such as vanilla, orchid, mountain orchid, Xiangzu, Guoxiang, Konggu Fairy, First Incense, Orchid Spirit, etc., different periods, different regions have different names for Orchid.
There are many types of orchids, there are strict classifications in modern botany, in turn, they are divided into orchids, orchids, orchid species, common orchid species have spring orchids, hui orchids, Jianlan, Molan, spring sword, lotus petal orchid, etc., it can be seen that there is no word called orchid, the name of orchid can be understood as a common name, that is, everyone agrees to the common name, everyone can understand. For people who have not seen orchids for the first time to hear the word orchid, I think he must think that orchids are a flower, orchids, orchids, flowers are the center of gravity, from ancient times to the present fragrance has always been the soul of orchids, it is the most important part of orchid culture, called orchid is the orchid flower is highlighted.
All the information related to orchid is part of the orchid culture, the orchid culture will change with the changes in history, in the inheritance process to take the essence to remove the dross, continuous innovation, and continuous development, just as the ancient orchid is orchid, Hui is hui, now in-depth subdivision, the definition is more clear, the word orchid at this stage although ambiguous, but it is the result of many information summed up together, there is no mistake, now collectively referred to as orchid, will continue to know later.
