Seven poems of late spring cherry poems: peony crack calyx cherries ripe, yellow oriole branches pecking cherries
Cherry, now there are excellent varieties, called cherry, dark purple cherry, let people forget its Chinese name, is the cherry. In fact, this cherry has been localized, and the late spring and early summer are also the period when this large cherry is on the market, but this cherry still retains the characteristics of the cherry that is not resistant to storage, but thanks to modern logistics and preservation, the price is now very close to the people.
Then China also has native cherries, but the fruit is smaller than European cherries, but you have to believe that this cherry native to China also has a high nutritional value. And the ancient cherry small mouth, you have to think, is the kind of ruddy and clear Chinese cherry, but not the thick purple of the cherry.
Chinese cherries, small and exquisite, originally grew in the mountains, because the fruit is sweet and small, is the best food for the yellow oriole, often in the mountain forest, see the yellow oriole pecking with cherries, so the earliest name of the cherry is called "warbler peach" "peach".
The Pre-Qin Dynasty Book of Rites records that the Zhou Dynasty Tianzi, in the mid-spring and February, offered the freshest cherry fruit to the ancestors before sharing the food. Here are a few key points:
First, cherries were valuable mountain fruits in the Zhou Dynasty, so the ancestors were invited to taste them first.
Second, in the mid-spring of the Zhou Dynasty, the northern climate was warm, just like the late spring and early summer in the south later, so there were cherry fruits in mid-spring.
Third, cherries are early ripening spring and summer fruits.
Fourth, the preciousness of cherries lies in the fact that they want to go out of the mountains and dedicate themselves to the emperor, and the cost of transportation preservation is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Fifth, cherries must be sweet.

This is the earliest poem about cherries, and Xiahou Zhan of the Western Jin Dynasty said that late spring and March make people happy.
The loveliest thing in late spring and March is to go to the countryside of the eastern suburbs, to cultivate, to see the landscape.
The countryside is new, and it is a good time for weeding and farming.
The river grows new and tender, edible, when the cherries are ripe, they can be served on jade or white plates.

In the past, it was real in the garden, and now it is on the table. Late Sui and early Tang dynasties · Li Shimin's "Giving Cherries (Spring Rhymes)"
The first emperor to write cherry poems was Li Shimin.
At this time, cherry trees were generally planted in Luoyang and Chang'an, and flowers were seen in early spring and fruits were eaten in late spring. The cherry trees in the Royal Garden, at this time, the first cherries have matured.
First of all, it must be dedicated to the ancestors, and then it is shared with the courtiers of the palace.
Cherries are delicious trees and difficult to plant, and cherries must be eaten quickly after ripening, which is really a short-term fruit that is important in season.
As an emperor, he also knows precious. Moreover, since the cherry is the fruit that symbolizes the sun, eating it will only make the emperor's position more stable.
So this poem, written around cherries, also has a special feature, which is about the sun.
In the spring of March, the cherries of Luoyang are ripe for the sun. The reddish color contained the energy of the sun, and the dense green shade of the cherry obscured the water.
The birds on the cherry tree ate the cherries, and the song was more crisp and gentle, and the beauty under the cherry tree, the beauty was as rosy and lovely as the cherry.

The cherries in the royal cherry orchard are naturally the best. There are special people here to plant, and when the yield is large, the emperor does not hesitate to directly hold cherry meetings and gather hundreds of officials to eat. Hundreds of baskets of cherries flew from the imperial garden to Chang'an, and then the emperor asked his courtiers to write poems while eating. This kind of welfare during the Tianbao years has always touched Du Fu, who is not yet a formal official, because he has also received this honor as an alternate assigned official. After Du Fu fell into Sichuan after the chaos of An Shi, he never forgot the grace of the Sheng Tang Dynasty.
So at that time, there were so many cherries in Luoyang, why were cherries still valuable fruits?
Because ordinary people can't afford to eat. This extremely easy to spoil the fruit, as a commodity circulation, the cost of accumulation, the price is very high, and the cherry fruit period is short.
So people who have land and courtyards grow their own. Of course, the north drifter and the middle and lower-class officials who did not have a land courtyard relied on royal welfare and banquets between officials to rub each other and eat each other. Rich people, of course, do not skimp on money.
Therefore, in the late spring and March, there is also a name, called "cherry shoot time", that is, when the cherry and spring shoots are listed, they can eat either the nobles or the rich, in Chang'an Luoyang, a city of drunken gold fans.
