Wheat is a crop, a plant that has been cultivated by humans to provide food. Because its mission is only to provide food to mankind, it is natural to be purified more and more, for the sake of the output per unit area, and no possible adverse influencing factors are allowed, even in the wheat field, there can be no trees on the edge of the wheat field, and the shade of the trees will block the sunlight and affect the growth of the wheat.
And in the warm season of rapid growth of wheat, the wild grasses on the earth are also growing rapidly, and they have always had more tenacious vitality, because of natural elimination and tempering, they have the excellent texture of wildfire inexhaustible spring wind blowing and indomitable, and rejoicing when they seize the opportunity, even in the face of more and more powerful human beings, they still have their own vigor passed down from generation to generation.
Even so, the repeated operation of the year after year not only makes the wheat field free of trees that are easy to cut down but take a long time to grow, but also makes the wheat field also free of grass that wins in numbers.
In this general trend of our countryside, the Yu beauty in the European wheat field is a very eye-catching presence. Especially when the wheat begins to turn yellow in the ripe season, the red flowers of yumei are dotted in the yellow and green wheat fields, becoming an eye-catching place that will be noticed from a long distance, providing an important touch for the entire aesthetics of the earth. It seems that they do not deliberately remove this weed in the wheat field, but specially decorate the green wheat field and the yellow rice field with a bright red color. Coupled with the thick green color of the bushes and trees on the edge of the wheat field, it looks good. Between this aesthetic gain and the loss of wheat in yield, which is larger or smaller, it should be its own judgment.
Relatively speaking, without their abundance and their thick foundation, the wheat field is the wheat field, and the pursuit of production is more in order to feed the world's largest population with limited land. It is natural and unhurried to demand the maximization of production on the basis of pure texture. Any wheat field weed must be removed quickly, even if it is Yu Meiren.
Over the years, the weeds in the wheat field have gradually become distant. In order to fully recall the types and appearances of weeds in the wheat field, in addition to constantly going to different wheat fields to find examples of clues, it is necessary to use previous photos and texts. The richness and ornamentality of the wheat field weeds can only be recalled as much as possible and the original appearance of the wheat field can be recalled only by returning to the scene where the weeds have fully grown.
At present, at least in some parts of the wheat field still retains the richness of this vegetation, whether this richness can be confirmed to be a human need is unknown, but in such a scene, it is very certain that the eyes are overwhelmed.
After a light rain in early summer, the occasional weedy wheat field has the appearance of raindrops on every healthy grass stem, which is very attractive and very attractive.
The most common, and yet completely eradicated, is barnyard grass. This kind of grass, which looks like wheat, is dotted in the wheat field, you have me, I have you, it is difficult to eradicate. In the past, there was still hard work of manual uprooting, and now wheat growers have little patience. And the use of large-scale herbicides will not be able to run wild in the wheat field because of the rat trap. Barnyard's strategy of drilling into the belly of the Bull Demon King allowed them to sneak out in the cruel situation where chemicals made large areas of weeds as yellow as autumn.
Wheat fields that look uniform are actually still slightly different. It is difficult to achieve an absolute single variety, different varieties, different heights and appearances. Intuitively, you can see at a glance that some are abnormally tall, popping up, like a big tall man in the crowd. There must be other deformed dwarfs, but in the midst of a dense and solid ear of wheat, it is difficult to find.
The various grasses on the ground did not mix into the wheat team, but blocked the ventilation of the wheat, they were eradicated, and even completely corroded and burned with herbicides.
From early spring to early summer, a cursory observation of wild grasses and wildflowers on the edge of the wheat field, with the help of various flower recognition APP repeated judgment, ranking in no particular order, roughly the following findings: trumpet flowers, sage, prickly vegetables, sorrel, small flower peach grass, field spinosa, yellow flower Brahmin ginseng, ground yellow, leaky reed, mud mustard, small quinoa, multitude, wild sesame seeds, plantain, pig seedlings, coarse root stork grass, celandine, wrinkled leaf acid mold, swamp grass, wild pea, wild rose, ground grass, spotted grass, wheat bottle grass, marlan, marlan, Safflower sorrel, yellow flower sorrel, po-na, yellow quail, white axle grass, Tongquan grass, di ding grass, white head, Chinese curly cypress, large ding grass, bitter wattle, dandelion, viola, purple flower di ding, point plum, summer solstice grass, snakeberry, white flower broken rice wattle, Zhuge cai, old crow petal, wattle, wolf venom, pod, small leaf rat plum, side cypress, little flower rice pocket, rough leaf old age, field comfrey, heterosuille...
So many wild grasses and wildflowers have their own names, indicating that in the past humans have not only looked at them, but also had special records and names. Year after year, they have coexisted with human wheat fields and other vegetable crops on soils with suitable temperature and humidity, and have become companions to human food. In the past history of continuous removal, they have been growing their ability to survive, and the roots and leaves and flower seeds are the means by which they spread their offspring, which gives human suffering, and continues to show the richness of the plant world in front of human eyes, so that they can not eat and drink while harvesting some beautiful satisfaction.
Such beauty, after basically solving the problem of food and clothing today, shows the value of its existence.
Norris did not finish his wheat trilogy, led by Octopus, and his life came to an abrupt end. Why did he have the passion to write such three huge works on wheat, and there are all kinds of sociological judgments in the history of literature, and I think there must be something more emotional and fundamental in it, that is, his identification with the beauty of wheat, his deep love for wheat. And any love for wheat is actually accompanied by a love for wild grasses and wildflowers that are inseparable from wheat, which have always been part of wheat.
During the season when the wheat is growing and ripening, I have repeatedly reveled in this beauty during my cycling and roaming in the wheat-producing areas of the North China Plain. Looking up from the wild grass and wildflowers on the edge of the wheat field, I saw a distant mountain at the end of the path in the wheat field, and suddenly I was as fascinated as if I had been hit. If it is not a place that you are familiar with, not the road you have walked, and the mountains you have climbed one by one, the inexhaustible meaning of this is how wonderful it is, and how strong the yearning will be.
The world offers both the vastness and mellow aroma of the vast wheat fields and the richness and sophistication of wild grasses and wildflowers.
