(Wang Haiou, editor-in-chief of Yihai Media, Wang Wenting) According to the literature, the Xuancao flower was first seen in the first poetry collection on the mainland, the Book of Poetry. This collection of poems compiled by Confucius contains 311 poems circulating from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. In many ancient poems, the flower of the grass was referred to as the mother, and it was passed down. The most popular influence of the Xuancao flower as a mother flower is the Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao, who wrote in MengJiao's "Wandering Poems" that "Xuancao gives birth to steps, and the wanderer travels to the end of the world." The loving mother leans on the door of the church, and does not see the grass flowers", thus praising the mother's love.
Another title of Xuancao is Forget Worry (Forget Worry Grass), from the "Natural History": "Xuan Cao, the food makes people happy, forget worries, so it is known as Forget Worry Grass." The "Poetry Classic" says: "The north hall is dark, you can plant Xuan"; the north hall represents the meaning of the mother. In ancient times, when the wanderer wanted to travel far, he would first plant grass in the north hall, hoping to alleviate the mother's thoughts about her children and forget her worries.
Xuancao (Forget Worry Grass) is the mother flower of China, because Xuancao grows in China, has the meaning of expressing gratitude to the mother, so it is called the mother flower, the cultivation of Xuancao should use loose and breathable humus, and water the soil once a week to keep the soil slightly wet, but also put the grass in the sun, so that the plant blooms bright and beautiful flowers.
It is understood that Datong Yunzhou District planted yellow flowers (forget worry grass) has a history of more than 600 years, from the Ming Dynasty, Yunzhou District has the reputation of "the hometown of yellow flowers", because of the volcanic eruption after the creation of zinc-rich selenium-rich soil, coupled with long sunshine time, rich water resources, large temperature difference between day and night and other natural advantages, the production of yellow flowers has a golden color, horn long flesh thick, a flower seven buds and other unique and excellent quality, over the years the products have been favored by consumers at home and abroad.
