After the Dragon Boat Festival, Changchun was completely unsealed, and the Nanxi Wetland was reopened. Just as the calamus blossomed, I took a few photos.
Calamus is a perennial herb with simple and elegant flowers, and is called "Flowers and Herbs" along with orchids, daffodils and chrysanthemums. Look at its flowers, propelled by the morning wind, like butterflies dancing, and like dragonflies pointing water trembling and flying. Some flowers are like fox faces, vivid, lifelike and mysterious. Calamus flowers are of all shapes and hundreds of flowers, without a single repetition; Look at its leaves, the roots are upright, the strips are straight, like a sword, the sharpness is incomparable, straight to the clouds, driving away evil and avoiding evil, slaying demons and eliminating evil; She has roots in the mud on the waterfront, but it is fresh and unworldly, out of the mud without staining, and like her neighbor Lotus, she has a gentleman's character.
In traditional culture, calamus is the spiritual grass for epidemic prevention and exorcism, and it is mentioned alongside Mugwort. In Gangnam, on the night of midsummer and autumn, calamus is burned to burn mugwort leaves to repel mosquitoes and insects. Every Dragon Boat Festival, families hang calamus on the door, hang wormwood on the window, and drink calamus wine to ward off evil diseases. The spring city anti-epidemic is clear, just when the calamus blossoms, I don't know if it can be related.
Germany also has calamus, and the flower language is the perfect marriage. I wish all my friends a happy life, good health and peace.
