The ancients often said: Spring flowers and autumn moon, borrowing to refer to the good times in life, so when it comes to flowers, what do you like most? peony? orchid? Or roses?
Maybe it's really a different flower, and everyone's answer is different, right? But if you want to say that it is deeply loved by poets, the pear blossom is not to be tolerated, and it is not at all lost to the national flower peony that many people like. Liu Fangping's "Spring Grievances" "Lonely and empty in the courtyard is late in spring, and the pear blossoms are full of doors." ”
There is also a long hate song "Yu Rong lonely tears dry, pear blossoms a branch of spring with rain." Describe Tang Xuanzong's thoughts about Yang Guifei. There is also Su Dongpo's "Mandarin duck is lined into double night, and the pear blossom is pressed begonias." ”
As well as Li Shangyin's "red-sleeved weaving Aya persimmon, Green Flag Gu wine taking advantage of pear blossoms." "Wait, why is that?
Yiyang here first buried a foreshadowing, the answer is revealed later, today we want to see this pear blossom is really a little different, here is the country's rare ancient pear tree group, pear trees have more than 40 varieties, more than 30,000 ancient pear trees existing for more than a hundred years, known as 10,000 acres of pear garden, more "Chinese pear township" beauty, of which the tree age has been more than 400 years old "gong pear tree", as early as the Ming Dynasty Wanli years as a tribute into the imperial palace, by the emperor as "golden yellow".
Every April, it's a wonderland! This is the 10,000-acre pear garden in Pear Blossom Village, Pangezhuang Town. It is an ancient pear tree community with a large planting area, early flowering and more varieties around Beijing. Every time the pear blossoms are in full bloom, the pear village is dressed up as enchanting, and the ancient pear garden is draped with a charming veil.
In fact, in April every year in Beijing, when the peach apricot falls, it is the season when the pear blossom powder ink appears, there are several places in Beijing where you can enjoy the pear blossoms, the more famous ones are the pear garden of Fangshan Liulihe, the Dongshan pear garden of Mentougou, etc., but if it is on the scale, it is naturally not the pear blossom village of daxing!
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the pear blossoms are in full bloom, choose a sunny weekend, drive to the west side of the Ewha Bridge on the Beijing-Kaikou Expressway and go straight in the direction of Zhao Village, all the way smooth, an hour to arrive.
It belongs to Daxing Panggezhuang Town, located in the middle of Daxing District, east of Weishan Village Town, adjacent to Yufa Town and Lixian Town in the south, and adjacent to Liulihe Town in Fangshan District in the west, with an area of 109.4 square kilometers. It has a warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate.
Many people know that this is the hometown of China's watermelon, an important production base for watermelon, pear and sweet potato in Beijing. But not only the delicious watermelon, but also a 10,000-acre ancient pear tree conservation area. Formerly known as Nanzhuang Village, it was renamed Ewha Village in 1981! It is the only professional fruit tree village in Beijing!
Yiyang came here to be called a revisit, because I had inspected this place before doing cultural tourism projects, but I think it was five or six years ago, when the large area of ancient pear trees left a deep impression on me, as well as drinks, cosmetics and so on developed from pears.
Even the brandy brewed from pears, and has also become a national standard, is very interesting, although for various reasons, the project was not invested, but the scenery at that time is still vivid, and then back to the depths of the pear blossoms, there is no interest.
Park your car and head deep along the winding country road, and soon you'll see pear trees lined up neatly on either side. The real one is: Xianzi white snow and green light, the moon is light and spring is not evil.
The heavenly Chang'e people do not know, it is expected to be as elegant as a pear blossom! Under the clear blue sky, the pear blossoms are like snowflakes falling on the trees, which are particularly dazzling! Wandering in the ocean of pear blossoms, on the branches of the pear trees, the white pear blossoms open quietly, some hang down their cheeks, shyly hiding the blooming flowers, some like warm smiling faces, chen gusts of breeze blowing, pear blossoms trembling in the branches, the sweet fragrance is intoxicating people's heartstrings in an instant!
Feel the spring breeze on your face, the warmth melts. The pear blossoms of the trees stand with a smile, and the flowers are blooming and white as snow, which is very pleasant. In the gentle spring breeze, under the pear tree, the faint fragrance of flowers comes to the nose, making people truly appreciate the pride of the ancients who "pear blossoms bloom everywhere on the road".
It should be noted that part of the trees at the entrance of Lihua Village have passed the flowering period, do not see here and be disappointed to rush back, because the flowering period of the pear garden is different, on the right side of the Gong Pear Garden, that is, the direction to Hanjiapu Village, the pear blossoms are in full bloom, and the oldest Gong Pear tree is in full bloom!
Walking closer, looking at this oldest tribute pear tree, also known as the longevity tree, planted in 1593, is the only tribute duck pear tree preserved to this day, the fruit of the tree was actually crowned by the emperor as "golden yellow", once produced more than 1,000 pounds of tribute pear per year, so it is also known as "ton pear king"! I remember that when I came back then, there was no railing around, and several people hugged around and hugged each other, feeling very deeply.
In fact, the beautiful scenery is not only the most concentrated tourists in the Royal Pear Garden, in the place where there is a certain pear garden hanging sign stops, basically all the pear orchards have strange shapes of ancient trees, amazing! Choose a good angle, quite out of the film.
As the largest group of ancient pear trees in Beijing, this Pear Blossom Village attracts countless photography enthusiasts and tourists to enjoy the flowers and walk on the green every year!
Here also met a local amateur photographer, the job is finance, people humble amateur, but in fact a chat is also won a lot of photography awards, gave me guidance, sure enough, under the sunset, next to the hanging chair, this side of the scenery is unique!
With the sunset, walking on the way back, I can't help but think of the question we mentioned at the beginning, why is the pear blossom so popular with poets? One is because the pear blossoms are white, snow-white pear blossoms, like a woman's fair and delicate skin, and the pear blossoms can not withstand the weakness of the late spring wind and rain, it is often used by poets as a metaphor for a woman with a bad fate.
For example, in Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song", it is used as a metaphor for Yang Guifei with "Jade Rong's lonely tears are dried up, and pear blossoms are spring with rain".
To go deeper, in fact, pear trees are a common fruit tree in the mainland, with a history of planting for about 2,000 years, and there are many varieties, which have been loved by people since ancient times, and their plain and light posture has won the approval of poets. Wandering in the poetry forest of the ancients singing pear blossoms, the fragrance of flowers is pervasive, fragrant, dazzling and intoxicating, such as drinking a cup of aged wine, mellow and sweet, and the aftertaste is long.
Pear blossoms are also called jade rain flowers in the folk, and if you look closely, you will find that the white of the pear blossoms is a small range of white, which is the white carefully painted by the painter.
It blooms unambiguously from one flower to a cluster, from one to several, and it is worthy of "occupying the white of the world and crushing all the flowers in the world". The pear blossoms are as white as snow, and when they bloom, they are supported by green leaves, which shows their purity and elegance.
The Southern Dynasty Qi poet Wang Rong's "Pear Blossom on the Pond" said: "The spring shines on the snow, and the deep sunset reflects the stars." The Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai wrote in his "Miscellaneous Songs and Lyrics in the Palace": "The willow color is golden and tender, and the pear blossoms are white and fragrant." ”
The five generations of poet Wen Tingjun also has a poem: "Pear blossoms and snow press branches, and warblers and willows are like silk." These verses all express the beauty of the pear blossoms as white as snow and the pleasant fragrance. The Tang Dynasty poet Wu Yuanheng also wrote in "Zuoye Pear Blossom" that "a clever smile is pleasant to meet people, and the fragrance of qingxue is regrettable."
With the wind, the butterfly shadow flipped over, and the mistaken point was towards the clothes red. The first sentence of the poem compares Pear Blossom to a smiling beauty who greets the ministers in the morning. She was as white as snow, and her fragrance was fragrant, and she really deserved pity.
The ancients liked to place their feelings on the scenery, and the pear blossom was the object that people liked to pin down. The Song Dynasty poet Su Shi wrote a poem entitled "Five Absolute Pear Blossoms in Kong Mi Prefecture and Donglan Pear Blossoms": "Pear blossoms are pale white and willows are deep blue, and flowers are full of flowers when the willows fly." Worried about the two snows in the east column, life can be seen clearly. ”
With simple and fresh verses, he expressed his sorrows and sorrows in his chest... The small poems are picturesque, the combination of movement and static, and the sandwich between the discussions, as if they are light and natural, from the real to the virtual, from the scenery into the love, it is worthy of everyone's handwriting!
Because the pear blossoms bloom late, the pear blossoms fall, and the spring will pass, which will inevitably make people feel sad in the face of the pear blossoms. Tang Dynasty poet Xu Ning's "Playing with Flowers" poem Yun: A tree of pear blossoms spring towards twilight, snow branches remnants complain about the wind. The Ming Dynasty gradually did not go much, and did not want to return to see the dusk.
A tree of pear blossoms has passed its peak, and spring is gradually drifting away, and people have no choice but to face the spring wind that blows the pear blossoms away and blows the pear blossoms down, so they have to stay in front of the flowers until dusk, and they are not willing to leave.
The form of the pear blossom is light and delicate, and the image is gentle, and the poet often uses the metaphor of the woman; or the pear blossom is used as a metaphor for the woman. Yiyang couldn't help but think secretly, isn't this echoing the feeling of falling in love and not wanting to leave under today's sunset?
Finally, I would like to say: although the pear blossom is only one of the hundred flowers in nature, but the pear blossom means comfort and the most romantic love, the pear blossom ice body jade skin, gelatinous, feminine and colorful, should be the embodiment of softness; she shakes off the cold, leaves off the green leaves, first open for fast, monopolize the branches, and is the high degree of unity between rigidity and softness, when the flower blooms, it has its own manners, no wonder some people say that the posture of the pear blossom is very seductive, just like the posture of kissing all things in spring.
Always with a grateful heart, unreservedly dedicate the most beautiful, warmest and most brilliant side of yourself to spring... Isn't that what all wonderful lives should present?
