I saw a news that the "Wood King" catalpa tree ushered in its full bloom in Wuhan.
Many people don't know the catalpa tree and the catalpa flower, the main reason is because the catalpa tree is tall, the flowers bloom in late spring, and the flowers are concentrated in the canopy of the leafy branches, which is difficult for ordinary people to see up close. As a traditional country for flower appreciation, after the Tang and Song dynasties, courtyard flowers occupied too much of people's attention, so the beautiful catalpa flowers were squeezed into a lonely corner.
However, those who have seen the magnificent and splendid catalpa flowers all love this tall flower tree and the masculine beauty brought by the flower tree.
For example, Du Fu, such as Han Yu.
The cultivation of catalpa trees can be described as ancient. Catalpa trees can be up to 30 meters high. This in ancient times, was clearly a high-quality tree species as a building material.
Therefore, the capital of Chu in the pre-Qin period was planted with catalpa trees.
"Qi Qi Yang is tolerant and embarrassed, and he mourns to see you and no longer get it.
Looking at the long catalpa and too resting, the lewdness is like a hail. "Qu Yuan Chapter 9
Qu Yuan was degraded from Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, to Xiangyuan, the border of Chu State, and left by boat, in late spring.
He said that his boat was moving slowly on the water, and he was nostalgic for his old people and country.
Seeing that the catalpa trees in the capital of Chu were tall and stretched, they could be seen in the line of sight from a long distance, and tears were sprinkled like rain.
So the catalpa tree was classified as a catalpa tree in ancient times, and the so-called mulberry tree is the home of planting mulberry and catalpa, and the catalpa tree is so tall, how can it not make Qu Yuan sentimental?
It is very interesting that although the catalpa tree is tall in nature, it is a good timber for construction, but the catalpa tree bears few fruits, and the survival rate of natural reproduction of the fruit is very low, it can be known that in the pre-Qin and even more ancient periods, people in order to obtain the catalpa tree, artificial cuttings. And it is this kind of cuttings that obtains a good tree-forming effect, so it is widely planted in rural areas and even in ancient cities.
Catalpa long, refers to the tall catalpa tree, but also refers to the catalpa tree densely planted. In the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, the roads of the city often carried the army, war horses, transportation, what was needed was that the city trees were tall and shady, and the horses could be swayed.
Therefore, since the cities of the Zhou Dynasty have catalpa trees planted, the Bronze Age Shang Dynasty can also be reminiscent.
Qu Yuan was degraded at this time, it was in the spring twilight, looking back at the capital from the boat, for a long time, the catalpa trees were in the field of vision.
In terms of the time when the catalpa tree blooms, this is the season when the catalpa flowers are luxuriant. Sadly going to the homeland, lewdness into the smoke, that kind of sentimentality, or deeper than literal sadness.
"There are many demon girls in the famous capital, and Jingluo is a young man.
The sword is straight and golden, and the service is beautiful and fresh.
Cockfighting East Suburbs Road, between horses and horses.
The gallop was not halfway, and the double rabbits passed in front of me. Cao Wei · Cao Zhi "Famous Capital"
The Han Dynasty inherited the planting of catalpa trees, and on the official road of Luoyang, Chang'an, there were towering catalpa trees planted to form a green shade.
The twilight season is a good time to go green.
Beautiful women, handsome men, riding horses, men wearing swords, and women dressed brightly, galloping along the avenue under the shade of catalpa trees.
The roads in the suburbs are becoming scarce, and in peacetime, they will not be frequently run over by cars and horses. So I actually met a hare crossing the road on the road.
This is a hint, implying that in such a green suburb, it is suitable for handsome men and beautiful women, close contact, and talk about a love with a forest background. Of course, there will be catalpa flowers. At least, the faint fragrance lingers on the long road, which is the corridor of sweet love.
"The catalpa tree is fragrant and leans on the fishing rock, and the new stamens have not flown away.
It's better to get drunk and blow away, but you can bear the rain when you wake up. "Don · Du Fu Catalpa
The first or first person to write catalpa flowers was Du Fu.
In Sichuan, on the rocky rocks at the head of the Xiajiang River, huge catalpa trees grow. This look is the natural and primitive catalpa tree. How many years ago, the bird landed its seeds here, and the natural selection competition made a tree near the water. During the flowering season, the view is extremely spectacular.
Du Fu should have been attracted by this kind of high-shore flower tree from a distance.
In Luoyang, Chang'an, catalpa trees are not uncommon, but you can see the gorgeous blooming of catalpa trees in full view, either standing on a high place, or the background is vast, and you can see the grandeur of dozens of meters of trees.
Obviously, it was here that Du Fu saw the whole picture of a flowering tree for the first time. Shocking, gorgeous, magnificent, dense flowers, flower branches stretch out to the high blue sky, stretching masculine but new and beautiful.
Catalpa tree is a huge sea of flowers, leaning against the mountains and rocks at the water's edge, the new flowers are blooming, and it is not yet the time to fall flowers, that is new.
I took the wine with me, and I lay down drunk under the catalpa tree, looking up to the sky and watching the flowers bloom densely in the high heavens.
You guys were blown off by the wind when I was drunk, okay?
I don't want to see you being beaten down by the wind and rain of late spring.
Who said that Du Fu was not romantic, drunk and lying in the catalpa flowers was willing to bury himself, which was much more beautiful than Lin Daiyu's lingering funeral flowers.
It was precisely this time that he saw the magnificence of the catalpa tree flower that he wrote a famous sentence in another poem.
"I didn't make Mei Rui's sad eyes, and I wanted to take the catalpa flowers to the sky. ”
I want to be like a catalpa, love the blue sky, and I want to express my love with the brightest bloom. I love the country, I love the Tang Dynasty.
"At a few years old, it grows into a big tree, and once it is entangled in a long vine.
Who is with the green Luo, look at the spit high flowers. "Zhongtang · Han Yu "Sixteen Songs of the South of the City, Five of the Five Songs of the Catalpa Tree"
Han Yu also likes the catalpa tree because it is tall and gorgeous.
On the outskirts of the southern part of the city, he saw a huge catalpa tree, only covered with vines, and the beautiful flowers were entangled in the vines, which made him very unhappy. This also hints at his situation, just when he is showing his ambitions and spreading his wings in the air, he is hindered by various villains, which makes him depressed and depressed.
The catalpa tree is the easiest tree to grow, but it is entangled by vines and trapped in infinite entanglement.
Who can take off for it the thick curtain that is pressed against the treetops, and let it open freely, and watch the flowers stretch out layer by layer, and ten thousand layers of flowers bloom, as gorgeous as the sea.
It is also the catalpa tree that grows on the tall canopy, so it is difficult to see it up close.
Therefore, he said that if it were not for the painter to depict the appearance of the flowers in detail, I am afraid that it would be difficult for some people to see the fresh and exquisite individual beauty and life beauty of flowers on the branches in their lives.
Catalpa flowers are beautiful from a distance and up close. The umbel-shaped inflorescence is gentler and fresher than the paulownia flower, and the flowers bloom like dense smiling faces.
Qingqing did not hesitate to lock the window spring and go to be a long catalpa.
Leaning on the embroidery curtain to blow the catkins, the sun is high and the deep courtyard is broken. "Don · Li Shangyin "Visitors Don't Meet the Annex"
This poem is so famous, every time you read it, you can appreciate the infinite depth of field and emotional beauty in it.
Friend, you don't hesitate to lock up the spring, go to Luoyang, Chang'an, and pursue the kind of happy life under the catalpa tree.
And I am waiting for you here, seeing your barren courtyard locked in the depths, only the catkins flying, and the sun is lonely.
It's spring twilight. It suddenly occurred to me that on the long catalpa road, it should be full of tall trees.
In that lively floating light, how much heroic romance is entrusted to the young man.
But is it really worth it?
At least Li Shangyin's answer is sad. I withdrew from the bustle to find a quiet, but you yearn for the bustle, singing all the way.
Many of life's melancholy are misses. But how similar life is.
Maybe I won't be there when you come looking for me.
"The catalpa tree is fragrant and has never been seen, and the west of the wall is covered with lonely edges.
It will be rain to wash away the dust, and look at the spit high flowers of 10,000 layers. "Jin Mo · Duan Keji "Catalpa Flower"
I rarely see catalpa trees blooming and smell the aroma of catalpa flowers.
But this time, I have time to watch over you, for you are on the west side of the wall, with a high canopy of trees, towering over the blue sky.
I'll be sure to watch your flowers bloom this time.
After waiting for this good rain in late spring, I want to see you, the layers of flowers are blooming, and the flowers are blooming ten thousand layers!
People who like catalpa flowers have a far-reaching heart.
Ten zhang branches, flowers and blue sky, young ambition is not worried. Come, look for catalpa trees and catalpa flowers!
