Inscription: Wax plum is not plum.
Wax plum is a traditional and precious ornamental flower and tree of China, and there is a famous phrase "Visiting the cold plum through the wild pond". "Yao's Residual Words" also calls wax plum a cold guest. Before the wax plum blossoms bloom in spring, they are the first of the hundred flowers. Wax plum blossoms bloom in early winter, accompanied by a winter, so it is also known as winter plum. However, wax plum is not a plum, and the two are very closely related. Wax plum is a deciduous shrub in the wax plum family, while plum blossom is a plant in the Rosaceae family. Because they bloom successively in the cold winter or early spring, and the flower shape and flower fragrance are similar, they are often mistaken for the same species.
Coated with wax to prevent cold with a touch of yellow, the same name which is borrowed plum light.
Ten thousand trees in front of the mountain who sent first, a thousand branches under the mountain I morning fragrance.
Ruixue knows what it is like, and the wind sways heartily.
It is useless for the princes to laugh, and once made a wall for the royal palace.
Wax: This flower has the word "wax" in its name, which is the same as the word "wax" for beeswax. Beeswax is commonly known as yellow wax. Wax plum blooms yellow flowers, formerly known as yellow plum. "Liturgy": "Wax also, soya." In the month of December, all things are united and feasted." One of the ancient December sacrifices was called "wax". Because the twilight of the year was the month of the great sacrifice, the 12th month of the lunar calendar was called the wax moon. And wax plum blooms in the wax moon, hence the name. The word "wax" was used in the Zhou Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty changed to the character "La", so the "wax" characters of wax moon and wax plum can be used with the character "wax". So wax plum and wax plum can also be used together.
Wall wall: According to legend, a rare wind blew in Bianjing City earlier, and the shops in the city were closed and the people closed. The shadow wall in front of the emperor's residence was also scraped down, so that the emperor and his concubines were exposed and harmful. However, the emperor believed that this was the will of God, and it was not appropriate to build a new wall here.
The next morning, the emperor invited hundreds of officials to offer advice, and the Manchu dynasty looked at each other. Hou Zuoban Cheng said to the emperor with a smile: "Long live my lord, Wei Chen has an idea, I don't know if I can call my emperor's heart." The emperor nodded hurriedly. The prime minister then said: "Long live my lord, the shadow wall of the sleeping palace is damaged, it is a misfortune for the harem, and it is even more impossible to rebuild the shadow wall, if you move a plant from Yanling Lamei and plant it at the entrance of the sleeping palace, one can cover people's eyes and ears on weekdays, the second can avoid shade in summer, and enjoy flowers in winter, and the third is that the plum blossoms bloom in the New Year, yellow as gold, and it is a royal auspicious omen. After the emperor listened, he immediately played. Ordered Qin Cha to rush to Yanling immediately.
Yanling County ordered to receive the order, personally went out and selected a century-old plain plum plant and a florist who was good at plum modeling to send to Bianjing to hand over the order. The wax plum was transported to the palace and planted in front of the palace, the florist felt that the bushes were alienated and not very beautiful, so he waved the knife and scissors in his hand, forming a screen that was nearly eight feet high and eight feet wide, just the same size as the original shadow wall. In the month of La, the sky is cold, the flowers wither, the trees are dry, and the plum plant blooms happily in the snow. The emperor had already finished his dynasty, so he came to find the concubines to have fun. Before he arrived at the palace, there was already a sweet fragrance, and when the emperor saw that the plum was blooming, and the snow was intertwined, he suddenly felt refreshed, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "The true color of the country is fragrant, and the first flower in the world." ”
