This season, the stream under the sunset is so beautiful, and the beautiful grass plants sway in the wind, infinitely poetic. Think of the verse "Crab leaf is flying, white dew is frost." The so-called Iraqis are on the water side."
Qin Feng Qing Ye (秦風蒹葭) is a poem in the Book of Poetry, the first collection of poetry in ancient China. Most modern scholars regard it as a love poem, writing about the melancholy and bitterness of pursuing what they love but not reaching, creating a wonderful realm of Qiushui Yiren. Chen Zizhan said in "Three Hundred Solutions to The Problem of Poems": "The poem "Crab Leaf" is undoubtedly a work that the poet wants to see a person but cannot see. Who is this man? Is he the oldest man of the former capital of Zhizhou Li, or is he the old vassal of Sizong Zhou and the old western Zhou who reads the old lord? Is it a sage hermit of the Qin kingdom, or a friend of the poet? Or is the poet himself a sage hermit and a poet? Or do we simplify and vulgarize it, and refer to it as a love poem, saying that the poet misses his lover? The explanations are divergent and difficult to judge. ”
Kawahara autumn is quiet, and the reeds are windy in the evening. Standing under such a beautiful and infinite sunset, watching the reeds swaying by the stream, I have to say that these grasses enrich the charm and temperament of the whole autumn. I would rather believe that this is a love poem, "The person I love, although you are far away, but there is still me here silently thinking of you." 」 ”

Calamus refers to the hagi and reeds of a specific growth cycle - the terrestris is the hagi without long ears, and the terrestrial reeds are nascent reeds, both of which are perennial grasses of the grass family (reeds are reeds, and hagi are hagi). Reeds grow in pond swamps, river banks, and watery areas along rivers and streams, often forming reed ponds, while hagi often lie wild on hillsides, farmland that has been abandoned for many years, ancient river beaches, fixed sand dunes and barren low hills, often forming large areas of meadows, strong fertility, tolerant of thin soil, land and water.

There are many poems written about luhua, Li Bai's "Sending Junbei to August Autumn, Sasa Reed Flowers Revive Sorrows", and Su Shi's "I walk day and night to the river and the sea, maple leaves and reeds in autumn", and the most famous thing about writing Ogi must be Bai Juyi's "Xunyang Jiangtou Night Sending Guests, Maple Leaves Hagi Flowers Autumn Serge".
It's just strange, how did the ancients distinguish between Qinglu and Hagi? I remember a friend of mine once wrote about the difference between hagi and reeds: "Hagi used to look white, and reeds were often draped... In fact, I can't tell the difference after reading it, I go to the mountains to see the plants more by temperament." Indeed, instead of insisting on discerning what plants are, it is enough to go to the creek and the riverbank and touch the romance of autumn.

Spotted grass, is also a grass plant. It also looks like reeds and hagi.
Teresa Teng's "On the Side of the Water" sounded in his ears, "The grass is green and the white fog is vast." There was a beautiful person on the water side. I would like to swim against the current and snuggle up next to her. There are dangerous beaches before helplessness, and the road is far and long. I'd like to go down the river and look for her direction. But I saw it faintly as if she were in the middle of the water. This song is the theme song of the same name composed by Qiong Yao in 1975 for her film "On the Side of the Water", which was later sung by Teresa Teng and became popular in the north and south of the river.
"White dew is frost", "white dew is not yet xi", "white dew is not over", the poem mentions white dew three times. White dew is the 15th of the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" and reflects the growth of cold in nature. The summer wind is gradually replaced by the winter wind, the light intensity is weakened, the ground radiation is quickly dissipated, and the sweltering heat of the summer is basically over, so the weather gradually becomes cooler, and the cold dew condenses. This festival also indicates the end of the Mengqiu season and the beginning of the mid-autumn season. Xiao Fuxing said in "Chinese Festivals": "White dew is the best time in the whole autumn, and in such an hour, autumn has the taste of poetry." ”
However, it seems that the season in which the scene in "Qin Feng Qingye" takes place has always been a matter of controversy - the reeds are born, it must be before autumn, and the white dew is frost, the morning fog falls, even if the Qin people are located in the Ganshan area will not be until September or even October. In the Jiangnan region, there are eighteen autumn tigers after the autumn, a fierce personality, the dew disperses faster than it falls, until it is very late autumn, it can condense a little frost, and the reeds are already old.
One of the most likely explanations is that it is taken from an image, rather than a specific moment, such as when the weather gradually cools, the dew dots the countryside, the mist covers the water, the shore is gradually lush and stretching reeds and hagi flowers, the flowers are clear, the water is pale... The heart of the people is natural, followed by romance.

In any case, once the white dew has passed, plants such as reeds have indeed ushered in a good time when they are flourishing, and a cluster of slender hair-like leaves draws out a light and delicate bouquet. The new colors are also beautiful: snow white, pale yellow, ochre, brown, translucent texture like lace and silk, bird feathers stretch out in the clear and lofty background of September, the model sways in the gentle water, the wind finally brings a hint of coolness, but the sun is still bright enough... Everything makes up the most breathtaking and refreshing picture of the early autumn. No wonder the poet Lu You also came to praise: "The most important thing is that the life will be worried, and the reed flowers are in the middle of the moon." ”
Reeds are always born in clusters, gathered and long, and flourished, flourishing and lined into seas. When the breeze blows, the swaying reeds are particularly beautiful, like a quiet and elegant lady, dancing lightly and flying with a literary temperament, with a delicate appearance but a stubborn personality. Even if they grow in the bushes, their independent bodies are not involved with each other, let alone attached to anything, and are not easily broken. When the autumn wind is blowing, the undulating silver waves do not have a little flattery, no bit of mannerism, and are mighty, showing the rhythm of life with swaying, like the spirit of freedom.
The French philosopher Pascal once compared people to reeds, saying: "Man is a reed that thinks." A person who can think will not be easily swayed by this world. The real sense of life is not how long you have followed others, but how far you have walked alone. ”。

Crabapples are green, and white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the water side. Traceability from it, the road is obstructed and long. From there, it is like being in the middle of the water.
If you have seen a large area of reeds at the water's edge, read "Crab Leaf" again. You may also deeply appreciate how beautiful the Book of Verses is, and how touching the reeds by the water's edge are.
