Recently, the grass on the streets of Beijing has bloomed, and the delicate shadows are either diffuse or swaying, making passers-by nostalgic.
Xuancao is a kind of herbaceous plant, belonging to the lily family, artificially cultivated, wild, more varieties, suitable for growing at an altitude of 300-2500 meters, also known as yellow cauliflower, goldenrod, deer onion, Sichuan forget grass, forget the depression, dan thorn and so on.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, ordinary people liked to plant grass in the backyard of the house, because at that time, their mothers lived here. "North Hall" or "Xuan Tang" became synonymous with the mother. The Book of Poetry. Wei Feng. Bo Xi said: "The grass is the grass, and the back of the tree is spoken." The grass here refers to forgetfulness, the back, is the back hall. In ancient times, the grass was the love that the children planted around their mothers, and they were always comforting, especially after parting, prompting her to forget her sorrows.
In ancient times, there was also a custom: according to the "Record of Customs", the pregnant woman peiqi grass was a sexual male, so it was called Yi male grass. This means that pregnant women are more likely to give birth to boys if they wear grass flowers.
