Six ancient poems of summer flower lilies: there are lilies in front of the court, and the wind blows lilies
Contemporary flower shops, often lilies and roses are the main hit, perfume lilies and red roses occupy the mainstream of festival flowers, often make people mistakenly think that lilies and roses are foreign varieties, Western flowers. In fact, both flowers are native to China, and the rose in the contemporary domestic market is a cut flower variety that is a hybrid of the rose and the moon, and the cut flower lily is not imported, mainly from Yunnan.
Lilies bloom from March to July of the lunar calendar, and may and June of the lunar calendar are the full blooming period of lilies, so lilies are proper summer flowers. Of course, modern planting and preservation technology can make lilies bloom in all seasons.
As a lily of a cut bouquet, it is dominated by white lilies, perfumed lilies, and pink lilies. When it is not in bloom, the flower head is beautiful and hanging, and when the flower blooms, it stretches out like a trumpet, fragrant to people, and the atmosphere is dignified, which is the most beautiful gift flower for wedding birthdays and even Qingming.
And the natural lilies are not to mention more, white, pink, red, swaying, and more beautiful.
It's just that many people don't know that lilies originated in China and were widely used in the pre-Qin era.
Because lilies have a unique rhizome and fragrance.
The Shennong Materia Medica writes about the medicinal effects of lilies: "Evil qi bloating and heartache, good for bowel movements, tonify and benefit qi." “
Lilies are produced in the mountains of Jingzhou, in the ancient Xiangchu region.
At that time, the widely used was the bulbous root of the lily, which was a clove such as garlic gathered at the root, and a lily could often thrive on several or even a dozen such bulbous roots. So the origin of the name lily refers to this spherical root that is gathered together, and the lily is one. And this root is not as spicy as garlic, but is rich in starch. It can be imagined that people have discovered its value in the long-term practice of feeding and saving famine. When the rhizomes are ripe in summer and autumn, eating lilies can treat digestive tract diseases, water, and high nutritional value. Tonic and qi, can be substituted for grain.
Zhang Zhongjing of the Han Dynasty was the best at using lily root to treat diseases, in fact, this also reflected that Zhang Zhongjing's era was in turmoil, when many people were malnourished, Zhang Zhongjing used lily root to cook meal replacements, saving many people's lives.
The edible and medicinal value of lilies has gradually become known to the world.
In the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the nobles mostly had their own gardens and introduced various herbs, which was a popular practice at that time. Planting a variety of rare herbs in the garden, this is the imitation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the search for medicine and health are within easy reach. Because at that time, public medical care was not developed, mainly relying on human immunity and a small number of Taoist doctors. As long as there is a condition, the herbs will be widely planted, called the medicine garden. Lilies are among them.
The lily has an elegant posture, the white lily is white and moving, blooming in summer and autumn, known as one of the immortals, not to mention, it has a rich aroma.
This should open up the aesthetic of lilies.
"The immortal car is stationed in Qixiang, and the phoenix is driving out of the heavens."
The moon reflects the nine light fires, and the wind blows the lilies.
Come to rejoice and smile for a while, and the tears have been stained.
It is faintly like Luo Wei, and suddenly it looks like Gao Tang.
Don't leave the unspoken, the river Han gradually soup soup. "Nanliang · He Xun's Tanabata Poems
These are lilies in full bloom in late summer and early autumn, which corresponds to the Tanabata Festival.
The weaver girl in the sky drove an incense cart to meet the cowherd, and the moonlight reflected the lights of the world, and the wind blew lilies, and the fragrance was faint.
The lilies here have been cleverly related to the reunion of husband and wife, and the hundred years of good union.
The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet each other, smile and meet, shed tears and part, the Galaxy is vast, only the fragrance of the wind blowing the boundless lilies, which will not disperse for a long time.
This makes me move today, the original love and love of the lily, in the Southern and Northern Dynasties era, and so natural, dedicated to the cowherd weaver girl, dedicated to all sentient and parting lovers.
"There are many kinds of elder leaves, and the flowers are not discolored.
Dewy or low-hanging, suppressed from the wind.
Chamomile Xian Fang, Cong Lan Xie Fangfu. "Xiliang · Xiao Cha's "Poetry of the Lily"
Lilies are predominantly white, pure and romantic, and bloom in the middle of summer and early autumn.
This is written about the beauty of the white lily.
On a lily, there are multiple secondary buds, but the flowers bloom, all of which are the same snow-white color.
When the lilies are not in bloom, they hang low, and when they bloom, the flower head gradually rises, swaying with the wind, as if the head is hanging low. This really writes about the shy, low-key beauty of Lily's hanging flowers.
Compared with lilies, chrysanthemums do not have the fairy meaning of lilies, nor do they have the great medicinal value of lilies. When the lilies bloom, the famous orchids can't hide from the summer, they have already withered, and the lilies have a unique fragrance in the summer.
"The search for lilies is really heavy meat."
Soft and warm even squatting, yingjing honghu.
The food is helpful, and Gai Xixian takes it.
The poems are slightly moistened, and the tea is in contention.
The fruit can not stop the tears, and want to look at the hometown. "Excerpt from Wang Wei's Lily of the Tang Dynasty."
Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty owned the Yuanchuan Mountain Villa, and he himself was a good Buddha and sent love to the landscape. In The River, he naturally grows lilies. However, after experiencing the Turmoil of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, some of the inheritance declined. But Wang Wei is a man with a heart.
Lilies were found and grown.
He did not praise the beauty of the lily, but directly talked about the edible medicinal value of the lily.
Lilies can be eaten as meat to replenish the energy of the human body.
The cooked lilies are soft and warm, and the flowering lilies spread their wings like a bird.
Eating lilies is because the value of lilies is known in advance, so it feels extremely effective.
The lily soup, moisturizing the poetry intestines, the bowl has the unique aroma of lilies.
I heard that lily can cure people's weak tears, can stop the tears of sadness, I want my eyes to get better quickly, let me stand in the tall building and look at the country.
Later, Li Shizhen talked about this poem, saying that Wang Wei must have thought of the ancient formula of lily to make up for the void and stop tears.
However, the Tang Dynasty is also very strange, popular and colorful flowers, such as peonies, but this cute white lily, rare poetry.
But there is a historical record of Lily's journey north.
The New Book of Tang "Dubo, also known as Dubo, its north borders the Xiaohai, The West Jiankun, and the South Hui, divided into three parts, all of which are self-controlled." Its vulgarity is not old. The grass is a hut. There is no livestock, no crops, more lily grass, more roots to eat, fishing, birds, animal food. Clothed in mink deer skins, the poor to bird feathers for clothing. “
In the Tang Dynasty, Dubo, which is now the Tangnu Ulianghai region, now the Russian Tuva Republic, belonged to the territory of China in the Tang Dynasty, where the Uighurs, who did not livestock or grow grain, used the bulbous roots of the flourishing earth lilies there as food, catching fish and birds from local lakes and beasts in the mountains and forests.
So how did Lily get so far away?
The biggest possibility is the Han Dynasty Silk Road, which brought these spherical seeds over, and by the Tang Dynasty, the lilies here have become famous local exotic plants, with strong reproductive ability and becoming the main local food.
That is, lilies in the Tang Dynasty, more as a rural supplementary grain, because of the practice of more, did not rise to the mainstream of the flower.
Only Wang Wei, who loves to read ancient books, knows the medicinal value of lilies.
"In the middle of summer, the crowds are breathing, and the scenery is lonely.
There are lilies in front of the court, and Ying ran learns chunjiao.
A few branches are towering, and a hundred are especially rich.
Covered by giant leaves, a variety of false strips. Northern Song Dynasty · Lü Tao", "Lily"
In the Song Dynasty, it was a historical period of revitalization of agriculture and cherishing nature, and hundreds of cooperations promoted the value of aesthetics.
The lilies that bloom in the middle of summer make up for the lack of flowers in the summer, and the lilies are fragrant and pleasant.
In the middle of summer, hundreds of flowers stop blooming, although it is the home of green, but the flowers are lonely.
But the lilies are different, in this hot summer, they bloom as delicate flowers as spring.
And you see, these lilies not only grow well, but there are hundreds of buds on the branches, and the blossoms are even more fertile.
"There is no concentration of garlic stronger, spring seedlings several feet of purple stems long.
The green sky is dark with multiple leaves, and the red and white are fighting for the cool of May.

Mountain kitchen cherry shoots are recommended at the same time, not like the petals of the flower petals. "Song · Dong Sigao", "Lily Flower"
In the Song Dynasty, lily bulbous roots were the ingredients for summer heat replenishment, and lilies were fragrant summer flowers in the courtyard, so not many people loved them.
The poem says that the lily bulbous roots are gathered together, gathered together, grow continuously, stronger than ordinary garlic, planted in the spring, and grow purple stems.
In the summer, among the cascading leaves, the red lily and the white lily bloom in the summer heat and rain of May, and its flowers naturally bring a coolness.
Eating lilies in the summer can replenish qi and moisturize the intestines.
Even if you recommend seasonal fruits at the same time, cherries and bamboo shoots are beautiful, but they are not as good as lilies, the rhizomes are delicious, and the blossoms are so fragrant.
This is typical of the Song Dynasty foodies, eating fixed lilies.
"The quality of the soul is like Qiao Xian, and the flowers are pleasant lily.

It is a mourning poem. During the Tomb Sweeping Tombs, many people offered chrysanthemums and lilies, but this poem has a Chinese-style memorial.
Your life is like a lily, as beautiful as Prince Joe.
And the lily is what everyone likes, a hundred years of good union, fragrant flowers.
I planted lilies in front of your monument, and I wish that I and you will be born together, so that we will still be together in the next life, a thousand times, and the affection will continue.
I have read this poem for a long time, and it is most likely his young confidant, one of whom died young. Together in this life, together in the next life, lily lily, hundreds of times together, if there is another life, fate is continuous.
Such solemnity, but also know the power of this emotion.
But either it was planted for my lover and wife, and I planted such a beautiful lily here, and the world said that it would be a good union for a hundred years. The lily represents my heart, and you are husband and wife in this world.
Sending lilies is not as good as planting lilies, having deep love in the heart, having affection in the hands, and planting a fragrance of continuous white swaying.
It is the season of lilies blooming again, when eating lily lotus seed soup to moisten the heart and lungs, do you know that the lily is originally the national flower, the flower color is pure, the flowers are fragrant, and the friendship between the people is long.
