There is a cross-river bridge called "Yinpenling" in Kaifu District, Changsha, and a park called "Zifeng" under the ramp of the bridge. The park is built just under the ramp of the bridge, how large can it be, and how much can it be worth visiting? Although I drove over the bridge many times, I didn't get out of the car to take a look at the park.
One day, my friend solemnly said to me that there are qionghua in Zifeng Park, which is very beautiful! Joanhua? Is it the flower that the Sui Emperor ordered to dig the canal for the convenience of viewing her? Emperor Sui, I don't treat him very much, but this legend adds a lot of mystery to this flower named "Qiong". My heart moved, looking forward to the day when the flowers bloomed.
On the first day of April, on a sunny spring day, the mobile phone rang, and my friend told me in an irrepressible excited tone: In Zifeng Park, the qiong blossoms are open!
Very convenient, bus 11 stops at the "New River" station, crosses the sidewalk, enters the park, and you can see a large white cloud of blooming flowers in the green trees!
The people under the qionghua tree are like falling from the clouds! At this moment, I don't have the mind to ponder where they came from, and I can't wait to touch my face to this long-lost exotic flower.
Joan, the name of beautiful jade! Worthy of the name, the flower fruit in front of you really has the quality of jade, crystal clear, shining in the spring sun. The petals that have just bloomed, shaped like lotus flowers, are like open jade hands; In the middle of this hand, it may be a flower stamen, white with a slight yellow, like jadeite, strange and pitiful; The flowers that bloom on the tall trees like hydrangeas, graceful and noble, overwhelm the country, reminding me of the peonies I saw in Luoyang City not long ago!
The stone tablet under the tree is engraved with the Song Dynasty Wang Yuwei's Yongqiong flower poem: Who moved the Qi tree under the fairy town, February light ice and August frost. If Princess Shouyang is there, she should be ashamed to see plum makeup.
Wang Shi praised the beauty of Qionghua. Ouyang Xiu, who was once an official in Yangzhou, built a pavilion called "Wushuang" next to the qionghua tree, which proves that people have loved qionghua for many years, and is more credible than the legend of the Sui Emperor, coincidentally, there are descendants under the qionghua tree in this purple phoenix park, once a year, held eight "qionghua art festivals"!
Under the qionghua tree, linger. In order to politely allow the "fully armed" crowd to come for photos, I "empathized" under other trees many times.
Most of the people who stayed in the photos were girls in the flower season, with heavy makeup, flowers and moon appearances, and even dressed in ancient costumes, like Chang'e under the ordinary, they posed in various poses, tirelessly sharing the beauty of qionghua; I then found that someone brought a chair to bring the model closer to the flowers on the tall trees, "in the same frame" as the flowers from the fairyland above.
In the haze, these beautiful faces like qionghua in front of me transformed into another familiar face to me. She, my neighbor's girl, a doctor who has been practicing medicine for 20 years, I will never forget one night in the winter of 2019, she said goodbye to her mother in the hospital bed, resolutely rushed to the front line of Wuhan to fight the epidemic, in the corridor, she smiled at me: Please!
Can't forget! This beautiful face like a qiong flower, with tears and a bright smile on her face!
