"It is not that the flowers prefer chrysanthemums, but this flower is even more flowerless." "The cold flowers have blossomed, and the chrysanthemums are alone." "Flowers do not bloom and a hundred flowers, independent hedges are interesting." "Under the eastern fence of picking chrysanthemums, leisurely see the South Mountain."
The poems that have flowed through the ages are a true portrayal of the noble quality of chrysanthemums that are not afraid of the cold, and the humble spirit of not competing with a hundred flowers.
The annual chrysanthemum exhibition is held on both sides of the Prayer Gate of the Temple of Heaven Park. The large courtyard has been occupied by beautiful chrysanthemums. Red like a burning flame, dazzling; yellow like gold, sparkling, golden light; white like snow, white and flawless.
Their tender faces, like the little faces of babies who have just come into the world, seem to melt at any moment. Chrysanthemums are as large as balls and as small as grains. Some flowers wrap the flower bud layer by layer, and tightly, even the bee patronizes the mouth, and the sense of protection is super strong.
Some petals are like a woman's long wavy hair, curled in length and length, very feminine; some petals are fully open, like a sunflower, allowing bees and butterflies to visit.
Many chrysanthemums have good names, such as the lake of holy light, the panlong dancing sea, the Taizhen smile, the pink white lion, the Thousand Hands Kannon and so on.
There is a chrysanthemum called the nine rings of mud, it is a tube petal ring type, light mud golden flowers, petals like fishing rings, interlocking rings, such as nine rings. There is also a chrysanthemum called a gray crane bead, the petals are gray-brown, the tongue-shaped flower tip is rewound and bead-shaped, and the flower shape is stretched and flowing like a crane beak bead. Beautiful rhetoric, wonderful metaphors for these brave flowers in late autumn could not be more appropriate.
Chrysanthemum bonsai is attracted by cleverly conceived, small in the big, dangerous in the strange. I saw a cluster of autumn chrysanthemums with buds waiting to be released growing on top of dangerous peaks, hanging in mid-air with the momentum of exploring the sea, which was very dangerous.
I also saw a cluster of blooming small yellow chrysanthemums, growing on a cone-shaped column more than two meters high, pointing directly to the blue sky, like a torch that has not been extinguished for a long time. Two one-person-tall treasure gourds shaped by yellow chrysanthemums hug each other, and the cartoon flavor is strong;
Four dragons with chrysanthemums wrapped around a few meters high stood on both sides of the Prayer Gate, as if they were about to take off into the air and fly up to the Prayer Hall; two phoenixes in the shape of red, white, and yellow chrysanthemums looked up and sang long, as if they were catching people's attention.
There are also umbrella-shaped, spherical, and tower-shaped chrysanthemum shapes, and so on.
In order to increase the interest, the exhibition is set up in a rectangular table in the chrysanthemum bush, on which the four treasures of the study room are readily available. Several chrysanthemums in the pen wash are graceful and charming.
A cultivating cow of about two meters, made up of irregular pieces of wood, is stooping hard in the chrysanthemum bush. It is cultivating for beauty, it is cultivating for humble gentlemen.
The chrysanthemums are accented by the antique red walls and green tiles, which are even more delicate, and emit a seemingly innocent and charming fragrance under the autumn sun.
Reluctantly bid farewell to the graceful and colorful chrysanthemums. The body is covered with a variety of chrysanthemum fragrances, and many chrysanthemums are filled with the beautiful posture of many chrysanthemums that are not afraid of the cold,
They are snow lotuses on the plains, symbols of the brave.
