Six ancient poems of late spring maple poplar: beech willow branches are weak, and beech willows invade the curtain green
A kind of tree, similar to the leaves of the locust tree, the rugged waist of the willow tree, with extremely beautiful and fresh green shade, and the sagging far-range looks like a green tassel, and up close it looks like countless small butterflies arranged vertically, and the drooping fruit is common in the Yangtze River Basin and Jiangnan. At the water's edge, walking under a huge stretched tree, the beautiful green tassel, beautifully hanging, extremely classical.
What tree is this?
Outside the window of a friend's office is such a tree, late spring and early summer, a window of green shade, the beauty of the forest. I also have it downstairs, and the stretched foliage makes people feel as beautiful as a forest.
It's maple poplar.
I always feel that maple poplar is an extremely old and common tree species, why do you look through ancient books and don't see their existence? Such a beautiful tree, why could the ancients not see it? Could it be that this is an exotic variety? Why did my father, my father's father, say they always existed?
Maple poplar, as the official name of this tree, was determined in the 1930s.
Then in fact, as an ancient tree species, it has always existed in China with its exuberant vitality and reproductive ability, and it is a common wild pastoral tree species, because its wood is not tough enough, so in the ancient house construction, less use, did not form a widely circulated commodity value, so the title of this tree in various places is not the same.
In the pre-Qin era, Mencius said: "Can the son conform to the nature of the willow and think that it is a stilt?" "This willow is maple poplar, maple poplar is not suitable for building beams, that is, to make cups and plates, but also according to its curved posture, go with the flow." Han Zhao Qi of the Han Dynasty noted: "Qi liu, cabinet willow also." “
This cabinet willow, that is, maple poplar, reads the pronunciation of the word.
Cabinet willows, like willow trees, grow at the water's edge, and the branches and leaves stretch out hugely, and naturally have a kind of wild gas. Its skin is flexible and can be boiled in water, mainly treating toothache on fire.
The Yuanzhou of the Tang Dynasty was called Maple Willow in the Gansu Region, "Maple Willow, out of Yuanzhou." The leaves are locust-like, the stems are red, the roots are yellow, and the seeds are ripe in June, green and thin. Peel off its stem skin for use. “
However, Du Fu was a native of Luoyang, and the Luoyang area was still called Cabinet Liu. Du Fu's poems were revised in the Song Dynasty, and the cabinet willow was renamed beech willow
The Song Dynasty officially called maple poplar as beech willow, but it varied locally, and this difference continued into the 1930s.
There are various names such as ma willow, maple willow, willow, big leaf willow, Pingyang willow, stinky tree willow, yuanbao tree, inlaid treasure maple, xi beech, xi yang, water locust tree, xikou tree, centipede willow, water willow and other names, which is enough to see the exuberant vitality of maple poplar, and mix with various places, settle down, flourish, and be particularly low-key and close to the people.
"Tianshe Qingjiang Qu, next to the Chaimen Ancient Road."
The grass is deeply lost in the city, and the land is lazy.
The branches of the beech willow are weak and the loquat tree is fragrant.
Cormorants are in the sunshine in the west, and the sun is full of fish beams. "Don · Du Fu's "Farmhouse"
After the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu fled with his family to Sichuan, and with the help of friends, built a grass hall on the river side of Chengdu, Sichuan, which was close to the bend of the clear river, and the door was facing the Sichuan Ancient Road.
It's late spring and lush with weeds, unlike working in the city, where you have to wear neat clothes every day. Of course, Du Fu was once a court official, and he was a leftist in the hands of Emperor Suzong, and he had to dress up to see the emperor.
For a while, the sky was heavenly, and the people were at the same time, but Du Fu's mentality was particularly good after the tribulation, because although the grass hall was grassy, it was a place to shelter from the wind and rain and settle down. There are also bamboo forests, ponds, and a place where farmers are all gospels of the troubled world, so this late spring, he is in a particularly good mood.
Exceptionally good, there are also beech willows that can be seen in Luoyang, that is, maple poplar trees. The maple poplar stretches the low-pressure branches, hanging green fruits, stretching and flexibility, Du Fu used the weak branches to describe the stretching and softness of the maple poplar, which is very appropriate, because at the same time as the maple poplar, there are countless loquat ripening, there is a kind of green jagged summer ripening beauty.
Cormorants by the river, in the setting sun, occupy the masts of boats. In the fertile late spring and summer scene, Du Fu could exchange bamboo shoots for fish to eat. The late spring of the Kingdom of Heaven is an extremely comfortable and abundant beauty. Green leaves, fish and fruits are fat.
"Falling out of the flock of non-beech willows, green immortal arbutus."
If you want to save the old cover for a thousand years, a few inches for the frost root. "Don · Du Fu's "Pine Tree Planting by Wei Shaofu Ban"
Du Fu still made plans for long-term peace and stability in Caotang, Sichuan, and at this time, the Anshi rebellion was not over, and he must also treat his hometown as his hometown.
In late spring, one of the things he was doing was to find pine saplings from friends and plant them in the grass.
Although it is said that pine trees, maple poplars are also mentioned.
Maple poplar is really beautiful, stretching huge, and adult maple poplar, can be as high as 30 meters, green shade into acres, branches jagged, Du Fu used the metaphor of falling out of the group.
It is just that Du Fu was clinging to the pine tree at this time, with spiritual sustenance, not to say that the thousand-year-old pine tree, the pine wood is precious, and it is considered extremely solemn and auspicious. Therefore, the wandering Du Fu, with the maple poplar, was not satisfied, and had to find a small pine tree to plant.
If Du Fu knew the life span of Maple Poplar, it could be as long as hundreds of years, and he would certainly not give up the near and far.
The age of the maple poplar tree is verified by contemporary scientists. Some maple poplars have been around for nearly 500 years and are still gaining momentum.
"The bamboo shoots put down the tiredness, and the bed should not be shaken.
The beech willow flowers blow down and mistakenly wave the fan to flutter the fly. Southern Song Dynasty · Yang Wanli's "Nap"
Jiangjia Village in Changshan, Zhejiang, known as 栟楮 in ancient times, is located on the Changshan Ancient Road, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Yang Wanli went to Zhangzhou to become an official, passing through The Tree, it was late spring, and he was tired along the way, and when the bamboo palanquin was put down, he immediately got off the palanquin and fell asleep on the bamboo chair in the courtyard of the accommodation.
In this courtyard, there are huge maple poplar trees, and this is the time to blossom and fall.
Yang Wanli, who slept confusedly, only felt a slight touch like a fly on his face, and when he was confused, he took the fan to wave it, and actually smiled at everyone around him.
But this also shows that he has been ups and down all the way, sitting on a palanquin is also tiring, in a small space, a plug is most of the day, the late spring sun, lonely mountain road, where will be relaxed?
On the palanquin, confused, get off the palanquin, go directly to the chair in the courtyard, the existence of the fan, proving that the temperature is at least above 20 degrees, the sun baking, people turn on their backs. I now wonder if Yang Wanli is a fat man, because looking at his situation, he originally sat in a chair and waited to enter the store, but after a while of kung fu, he fell asleep. He still has a fan in his hand.
Maple Yang Kai flower falling flowers is a kind of yellow fine beauty.
Of course, here, Yang Wanli, playful and vivid. Thought it was a fly falling on the face.
When he wakes up, he will definitely feel that the courtyard here is particularly deep and beautiful, the maple poplars are green, the flowers are fine, and the air is the most beautiful smell, which is not necessarily fresh in the city.
"The beech willow is on the official road, and the fishing boat is tied to the chai gate."
This spring, the water is shallow and shallow, and you can see the layers of shore marks. Southern Song Dynasty · Zhu Jifang's "Xicun (Six Words) Part I"
Maple poplars are water-friendly and grow rapidly, and the maple poplars here are huge, growing from the creek and covering the official road.
Under the maple poplar trees is the small courtyard of chaimen on the fishermen's shore.
Maple poplars are more magnificent than willow trees, more greener, and more of a sense of ancient meaning. Where there are maple poplars, the water and soil conservation is better, the ground often grows moss, the existence of these near-water vegetation, so that the stream is more turquoise, moist, clear.
The huge maple poplar shadow also renders the spring water and shade more green and quiet.
While the stream flows slowly, by the river, you can even see the traces of its rising tide, in the clear water, on the shore, showing different stripes of earth.
It can be said that there are maple poplar rivers, and the water flow is clear, because the maple poplar tree has a huge root system, fixed quicksand, and clear water quality.
Such a layered Jiangnan green beauty, who does not love?
"The sound of the thatched chicken is late, and the towel car rides on the ravine for an indefinite period of time."
A few trees of tang pear are full of flowers, and a thousand young leaves of beech willows are hanging. "Ming · Excerpt from Lin's "Slogan on the Way to See the Kiln Factory in Baizhao Mountain"
This is the Ming Dynasty officials to investigate the rural kiln factory, good porcelain kiln, need deep mountain high quality soil, so the kiln factory in the deep mountain, it is also very likely.
In the morning, I was woken up by the chickens in the mountains, and as a result, the sun was old and high, and the chickens here were not diligent, which may imply that the mountains and forests here are strong, and the chickens are difficult to distinguish between time and light.
Fortunately, this expedition is more leisurely and the time is relaxed.
So he saw the late spring in the mountains, the wild begonia pear blossoms, blooming luxuriantly, and the maple poplar tree, which was a thousand branches, a thousand tassels, densely drooping.
The fruit of the maple poplar is easily regarded as a tender green flower or flower leaf, because there are countless small wings on it, like petals, densely interspersed and drooping.
People walk under such maple poplar trees, like green wisteria, like a cave sky.
If you encounter a maple poplar forest, that kind of happiness, like in a green wonderland.
"The beech willows invade the curtain green, and the roses enter the tea."
Neighbors can drink wine, and every time you go to the pot. "Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties · Shin Han-kwang "Nokan"
Finally, in the poetry of the ancients, I found the most beautiful and quiet green in front of the window.
The green of the maple poplar trees is pouring into the window, beautiful, clear, and serene.
Under such a window, brewing a cup of rose tea, it feels like a real good time.
If in such a situation, someone carries wine and drinks with you, they are already slightly drunk without drinking.
Drunk in this green cave sky, like a fairyland.
Maple poplar is everywhere, but many people don't know its ancient name. It is precisely because of this that today's poets have the opportunity to write poems about maple poplars and write about the chic and magnificent green.
