Eight songs of late spring Mingli Gaomei Catalpa Flowers: When the catalpa flowers are seen, the branches of the 10,000 years are seen, and the tall splendid embroidery shines in the blue sky
Speaking of catalpa trees, people in the city rarely know, but there is a common old language called "mulberry", which we know is usually said to be the hometown, the hometown where mulberry trees and catalpa trees are planted, and also refers to their parents.
What is the relationship between catalpa trees and catalpa trees?
In the pre-Qin Dynasty, catalpa trees and catalpa trees were classified as the same kind of tree, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that they were clearly separated.
The poem says, "Weisang and Zi, will be respectfully stopped", that is, the mulberry catalpa tree (catalpa tree) in the hometown deserves people's respect and love like their parents. Why is this? Because the mulberry tree is like the mother providing people's clothes and textiles, and the catalpa tree (catalpa tree) is like the father Wei An tall, providing building materials for the house, so that the children and grandchildren can live and work in peace and contentment.
That is, during the Zhou Dynasty, catalpa trees (catalpa trees) were already widely planted.
So what are the characteristics of catalpa and catalpa trees? It is straight and tall, growing rapidly, good wood, and long life.
Catalpa trees can be as tall as 30 meters and live for 600 years, while catalpa trees can be as tall as 15 meters. Because they are closely related botanically, the leaves are similar, and the flowers are similar, the ancient people classified them as the same tree. The actual catalpa tree is taller, with light purple flowers in late spring and early summer, while catalpa trees bloom in the summer and bloom white.
Because catalpa trees and catalpa trees have a high survival rate, fast timber growth, and excellent wood, they are important pastoral tree species, street tree species, and economic tree species in ancient times.

Some people say that the earliest street tree was initiated by Wei Xiaokuan during the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Western Wei Dynasty, and during the Yongzhou Thorn History, the official road was planted with locust trees, which is actually inaccurate.
Chinese ancient times, we used nature to transplant and plant trees.
The capital city and road of the Chu state where Qu Yuan of the pre-Qin Dynasty was located were planted catalpa trees.
In the first year of the reign of King Xiang of Chu, Qin and Chu engaged in battle, destroyed the Chu army, beheaded 50,000 people, and plundered fifteen cities. Although the war did not affect the capital of the Chu state, Qu Yuan was very unlucky at this time, and was ordered to be rumored by Yin Zilan and sent to Jiangnan. It was the spring of national turmoil, Qu Yuan was forced into exile, got on the boat to Jiangnan, looked back at the capital of the Chu Kingdom and the catalpa trees on the road, and couldn't help but cry bitterly. Because he was forced to leave at the most difficult time in the country and his hometown, and there was no hope of return.
The tall road trees of that spring were gradually drifting away in his eyes.
At that time in the Chu Kingdom, it used catalpa trees as road trees, why? Quite simply, the catalpa tree is tall, on the road of the catalpa tree, walking on the horse, without any obstacles, the ancients chose the sidewalk tree species, is quite wise. During the Warring States period, there were often wars, the roads should be wide, and the sidewalk trees should be high, so as not to miss the fighters. What's more, the catalpa tree shades the rain and grows quickly.

Cockfighting East Suburb Road, between the horses and horses.
Halfway through the ride, the double rabbit passed me. "Cao Wei · Cao Zhi's "Famous Capitals"
This is written about the Eastern Han Dynasty's Tokyo Luoyang, Cao Zhi and his father Cao Cao did not claim the title of emperor in the Han Dynasty, but only a hegemonic party, so Cao Zhi was also a member of the Jingluo youth. How beautiful the capital is, how rich and noble teenagers.
The young man's sword was worth thousands of dollars, and he was dressed in brocade and dress, holding a cockfighting meeting on the road in the eastern suburbs, and flying horses on the catalpa avenue in the suburbs.
In this place, there are rows of catalpa trees, and in late spring, weeds grow on the road, showing the peace here. The war is far away from the capital, although the road is there, but the carriages and horses are scarce, which is most suitable for teenagers to play and hunt.
Sure enough, on the catalpa tree road, a pair of cute rabbits crossed the road and quickly strangled the reins.
The long catalpa walking horse is a kind of rich and noble child, and the youthful happiness of the young heroism.
The actual Han Dynasty capital city of catalpa trees extended from the capital to the outskirts. If this road is built for a long time, the age of the catalpa tree is also very impressive, and it is an ancient green highway to fly under the tall catalpa tree road as tall as a green tent.
"The catalpa tree is fragrant and leans on the fishing rock, and the new flower buds should not fly."
It is better to get drunk in the spring breeze, but you can bear to wake up when the rain is thin. "Don · Du Fu's "Catalpa Flowers"
Du Fu had a deep affection for Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an twelve roads, you can ride the car and horse. Road trees, mostly catalpa trees, are also a magnificent landscape of Beijing. You think in late spring, on Chang'an Road, there are such catalpa trees that are beautiful and beautiful, and the trees are cascading purple flowers. Purple was a precious color in the Tang Dynasty and one of the symbol colors of the Tang Dynasty.
Purple represents magnificence, immortality, atmosphere, and the image of the Tang Dynasty Empire is very consistent.
Shangwu in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an Road, were mostly people riding horses with swords.
And Du Fu's hometown of Luoyang, as gorgeous and solemn as Chang'an, was the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the second largest city. Catalpa trees are also important city symbols.
Du Fu was displaced from the Anshi Rebellion to the lofty mountains of Sichuan, where the landscape is beautiful, but it is two flavors with Chang'an and his hometown.
Here he saw mountain catalpa trees growing by the water's edge.
That late spring, the catalpa tree blossomed, a burst of sweet fragrance, looking up, the purple catalpa flowers under the blue sky, new and bright, it was not yet time to fall.
The catalpa flower is so high at the head of the tree, it is the flower of the male, and it is also the flower of the hometown of the imperial capital, how can he not miss his hometown that is thousands of miles away?
He is like a tall catalpa tree floating from his hometown from Chang'an to Sichuan, where the wind and rain blow, and there is no hope of returning to his hometown. Why relieve your worries, and lean under the catalpa tree, and look up to the sky and get drunk.
The catalpa tree is tall, and the catalpa flowers look up under the tree, which is a kind of beauty towards the sun.
"I didn't look at Mei Rui with frightened eyes, but I wanted to take the catalpa flowers to charm the sky."
The bright light drafters envied, lung disease for a few hours as the sun. "Don · Excerpt from Du Fu's "Three Songs on December 1, One of Them"
In Du Fu's heart, the catalpa tree is the tree of the homeland and the flower of the man.
Even in winter, when Du Fu saw the plum blossoms, he felt in his heart that the plum blossoms were not strong enough, not as good as the catalpa tree, under the blue sky, that kind of tall, that kind of grandeur, that kind of deep atmosphere.
Yes, even in winter, what he had in mind was to make a catalpa tree, bloom with high purple flowers, like looking at the eyes, waiting for the sun, watching over the homeland.
He expected that he would be well and be able to return to Chang'an quickly, he still had the ideal of serving the country, and he also wanted to be a loyal vassal close to the emperor, like a catalpa flower, towards the sun and blooming himself.
"I want to take the catalpa flowers far away." Tall purple catalpa flowers bloom on the branches, opening toward the sun and toward the distance. The somber Du Fu wrote about catalpa tree flowers so romantically and beautifully, and wrote a special spiritual temperament.
Tall, loyal, bright, brilliant.
"A few years old, born into a big tree, once wrapped around the long vine.
Whoever is with the green luo shuai, look at the vomit high flowers millions of layers. "Zhongtang · One of Han Yu's "Two Songs of the Catalpa Tree"
What Han Yu saw was a huge catalpa tree on the outskirts of the city.
But it is a pity that the catalpa tree is huge, and the vines climbing the trees, like a green tent, cover the canopy.
For catalpa trees, this must be a suffocating thing.
Who could untie the green vine and let the catalpa tree release from such a depressed state. The catalpa tree itself can bloom the most beautiful flowers. If there are no these vines, the layers of beautiful tall flowers of the catalpa tree stretch out, enjoy the sun, and return to the world is more fragrance, more upright trees.
Obviously, this is a metaphor with realistic feelings.
Han Yu tang dynasty outstanding writers, thinkers, philosophers, politicians. A person with such an identity must be exceptionally talented. But like many people, Han Yu's career path is quite unsmooth, and he has been repeatedly belittled and suppressed.
These vines undoubtedly refer to those little people who are floating in power, standing on Han Yu's shoulders, and they still have to find ways to curb burying him.
Did Han Yu just lament his career? Definitely not. He was a generation of Wenzong, with his own strength, advocated a generation of simple style, conducive to the handling of official affairs, the transmission and feedback of government decrees, improved the bureaucratic ability to handle affairs, and reversed the atmosphere of exaggeration and impracticality. This was a prominent thinker politician of the Tang Dynasty.
It was only when he was alive that he was much contained, and after his death, people found out that he was right. During the Song Dynasty, officials saw his great value and worshipped confucius.
"The catalpa tree is high and the flowers want to plant in the sky, and the warm wind is late and dazed.
Falling in england and seeing the king, I am worried about the spring light for another year. Northern Song Dynasty · Su Shi's dream was a sentence
I don't know what kind of poem Su Shi wrote in what year, and it is wonderful that it is in a dream.
What year is this late spring?
Su Shi's life, is really not happy enough, the teenager is ambitious, 20-year-old jinshi, but he has been repeatedly degraded in his life, and his career has gone through ups and downs several times. Because he offended the New Party that changed the law, he was almost killed and exiled to Huangzhou because of the Wutai poetry case, because he was outspoken and offended the New Party, he was demoted to Lingnan, until Hainan. The last time he was activated, he died on the way back to Beijing.
In his life, the years are staggering, life is the norm, leaving the hometown, and not showing ambition is daily.
But in the dream, he still dreamed of the catalpa tree in the huge hometown, the catalpa tree blossoming, tall and purple, inserted into the blue sky, it was a kind of depressed mood release.
But in the dream, where was he? Let him be so dazed on the wild mountain, see the beauty of the catalpa tree flowers, but also see the layers of falling flowers, release feelings, but also feel the flow of time?
Life is less than a hundred, often pregnant with a thousand years of worry. In the dream, the flowers are purple, just as sad.
"Spring to the capital city was unknown, when the catalpa flowers saw the ten thousand years of branches.
Amorous rely on the prince, uncut the gold plate to send thoughts. Northern Song Dynasty · Su Rui "and Wang Jinqing Du Wei Di Li Two Absolute Sentences Part I"
In fact, this is a poem written in the middle of nowhere. A friend brought Su Rui the flowers of late spring.
In the early years of the Song Dynasty, the flowers were still a luxury and were only cultivated in the families of the rich and aristocratic families in the capital.
It is considered to be the most fashionable drink in late spring. Because it originated from the emperor's gift to the ministers of the Imperial Wine.
Su Rui was also marginalized at this time, and his career was bumpy. A friend's dip is another kind of broad solution.
But the beauty of this poem is not beautiful in the golden pan, the beauty is in him, he did not know that the spring was about to pass, the huge catalpa trees in the capital blossomed.
Beauty in him said, catalpa blossoms in the branches of the ten thousand years.
This has to say about the tallness and longevity of catalpa trees. The catalpa tree, which still exists for more than 600 years, really blooms every year and grows young.
Su Rui's poem, of course, is to say that he is low-key, suppressed, and honestly opens like a catalpa flower.
Only this friend with a heart hit him with sentimentality, and he had been snubbed by the emperor for many years.
"Spring returns to the grass and trees, half dust and half wind."
Who seems to be a long catalpa more than a hundred feet, high splendid embroidery shines in the blue sky. Northern Song Dynasty · Zhang Qian's "Eight Songs of Late Spring and Early Summer, Seven"
Without contrast, you wouldn't know the beauty of catalpa flowers.
In the late spring and early summer, all the grass and trees have fallen, the begonias have fallen to the ground, and the willows have gone with the wind.
Only the boundless catalpa trees on the road grow tall and flourish, and in the late spring and early summer when a hundred flowers are withering, the branches of a hundred feet are blooming splendidly.
The brilliant blossoms seemed to open purple splendid cloth in mid-air, shining in the sun and shooting at each other with the blue sky.
Beautiful, bright, cheerful, vigorous, atmospheric, gorgeous.
Catalpa tree is a hometown tree, is a boy tree, catalpa flower is also a classical poetry, rare with sunshine and masculine temperament of the flower.
If you see the catalpa blossom, please greet it and thank it for providing high-quality wood from ancient times to the present day, as well as providing a simple and masculine aesthetic.
