Yanshan ginger opened, and the pearls were round and jade. When I first met the ginger flower, it was indeed a little amazing, and its flowers were very special, with the warmth and texture of nephrite.
In fact, this flower is not eye-catching, its leaves are too large, the flower is hidden between the leaves, sometimes without paying attention, it has bloomed, leaving a beautiful name.
The cardamom in Du Mu's poem "More than thirteen years, cardamom in early February" is Yanshan ginger, which is worthy of the name.
Its flowers bloomed subtly, reservedly, like a girl just thirteen or fourteen years old, with a lovable demeanor. The buds are more beautiful, like strings of jade beads, moist and full.
Yanshan Jiang, naturally reminiscent of Zhuang Jiang, the incomparably beautiful woman in "The Book of Poetry, Weifeng Shuoren". "Hands like soft shades, skin like curd, collar like a grub, teeth like a rhinoceros, moth head and eyebrows, clever smile, beautiful eyes...", she married at the most beautiful age, noble life, long manners, and peerless style. After a thousand years, it makes people nostalgic. But even such a beautiful woman is inevitably sighed as "green". When love is a thing of the past, beauty is left out in the cold, just like the withering of ginger flowers, you can no longer imagine its original glamorous shadow...
Who says that love and beauty are enemies of creation and time, how far forever...
