Tsujo autumn mood, chrysanthemum color added fragrance. This time of year is the best time to admire the chrysanthemums in Tsu castle. Chrysanthemum exhibitions in the water park, garden garden park center and other places welcome guests as scheduled every year, and all kinds of chrysanthemums compete for beauty. Synchronized with the Internet era, people have also begun to watch chrysanthemum exhibitions online, or show their good chrysanthemums and planted products to more friends. Seeing chrysanthemums and pinju has become a habit of Tianjin people this season. If there is really a time tunnel, through a hundred years, people will find that Tianjin people have always loved chrysanthemums, and holding chrysanthemum exhibitions is also a tradition in Tianjin City, and all kinds of chrysanthemums are "beauty pageants" and grand spaces.
According to Fang Bo, a member of the Xiqing District CPPCC Committee and a lover of literature and history, the earliest place for public chrysanthemum viewing in Tianjin was Yiting during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. According to the "Tianjin County Chronicle", Yiting is located outside the west gate of the old city, the right moon altar of the martial arts field, and the autumn traders arrange chrysanthemums here, attract people to watch chrysanthemums, and peddle goods, which is quite popular and gradually becomes an annual chrysanthemum exhibition.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Tianjin was already famous as the land of chrysanthemums, and Yongfengtun in the current Hongqiao District was a large chrysanthemum distribution center, where many flower farmers gathered every autumn to sell chrysanthemums. At that time, parks, schools, hospitals, as well as some large manufacturers and celebrities also held chrysanthemum exhibitions in public places or at home, so as to expand the promotion of friendship. Holding chrysanthemum exhibitions and visiting chrysanthemum exhibitions has become an important activity in the autumn of Jincheng.
In the 9th month of the lunar calendar in 1918, Tianjin held a large-scale "Chrysanthemum Exhibition", located in the Tianjin Park Art Garden, and the organizer also organized a tasting meeting to evaluate the shape, color, fragrance and variety of flowers as the standard, and select the outstanding ones and give rewards. The event was extended from the scheduled 10 days to 20 days, and about 600 pots of more than 300 chrysanthemums were exhibited before and after. After selection, Yufangyuan Zhou Xinwu's chrysanthemum "Fine Willow Brew" won the first place in the first class.
In that year, major public and private institutions also competed to select chrysanthemums, such as Shoufeng Flour Mill, which held a chrysanthemum exhibition every year in zhongyuan company in the area of persuasion field. Nankai Middle School, which has an important position in the history of Chinese education, was also one of the main chrysanthemum viewing places in Tianjin. On November 15, 1930, the "Yishi Bao" reported that "Nankai Chrysanthemum Exhibition Yangyang Grand View": "Since the opening of the chrysanthemum exhibition of Nankai Middle School in this city, the daily traffic in front of the door has been endless. According to the statistics of the school, the average number of daily visitors is indeed more than a thousand people, and when this golden wind is in place, there is such a chrysanthemum exhibition of the yangyang grand view, embellished with autumn light, and the color of Jinmen. "During this period, some people also organized chrysanthemum viewing groups to connect the major chrysanthemum exhibitions into a route, much like today's theme tourism."
The yufang garden mentioned earlier that obtained the "champion" of the chrysanthemum exhibition is a very famous chrysanthemum garden in Tianjin during the Republic of China, in order to attract business, yufangyuan often puts the proud chrysanthemums into the glass window to display, and the various chrysanthemums are dazzling, strange and colorful. Yufangyuan also holds a chrysanthemum exhibition every year, which has lasted for more than ten years.
Tsu people love chrysanthemums and do not covet utilitarian chrysanthemums to pick chrysanthemums
As the hometown of chrysanthemums, the chrysanthemums in Jincheng have characteristics and fine products, and of course, there are anecdotes related to chrysanthemums.
Fang Bo introduced to us: During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Tianjin man known as "Gushang Tao Qian", named Xu Tongfu. The "Tianjin County Chronicle" specifically has a record about him: "Xu Tongfu, sex love Ju, self-proclaimed master of the Chrysanthemum Garden, tried to donate to the cultivation of county learning righteousness ..."
He lived in seclusion and was accompanied by Ju. Deep chrysanthemum, the common flower species once cultivated, it is different from others.
In the "Song of Planting Chrysanthemums" that Xiangxian Mei Chengdong once composed for him, there was such a verse: "The master of the chrysanthemum garden is Ju Sheng, and ai Ju really takes Ju as his life... The chrysanthemum is eight feet high and the flowers are like buckets, and the flowers look down at the flowers. It can be seen that the chrysanthemum varieties cultivated by Xu Tongfu are indeed not ordinary.
Although Xu Tongfu has a skill in art chrysanthemums, he does not know that more than two hundred years later, Tianjin has produced a chrysanthemum master named Ye Jialiang, who has cultivated many chrysanthemum products, making Tianjin chrysanthemums famous all over the world. In today's Chinese flower world, the name Ye Jialiang is a household name. His creations in the cultivation and reproduction of chrysanthemums gave him a legendary color. "Watching leaves and knowing flowers" is one of Ye Jialiang's "unique skills": as long as he picks a chrysanthemum leaf for him to see, he can accurately say what variety it is, what traits it looks like, what it looks like after flowering, and what technical essentials need to be grasped in the cultivation process...
From the beginning of his teenage years of love and planting chrysanthemums to nearly seventy years old, Ye Jialiang gave his lifelong love to Chrysanthemum, and he himself said: "Chrysanthemum is my lover all my life." Ye Jialiang loves chrysanthemums, not only because this is his life's work, but also because he loves the character of chrysanthemums, he said, chrysanthemums bloom every autumn as promised, honest and trustworthy, not afraid of frost, strong vitality, colorful, colorful, colorful, not in the spring and summer with the flowers. If a person wants to raise chrysanthemums well, he must first learn the quality of chrysanthemums, integrity, strength, and performance. There are countless exquisite chrysanthemums cultivated by Ye Jialiang, which have amazed the Chinese chrysanthemums and become famous overseas. In 1997, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions awarded him the title of "China's Top Ten Skilled Craftsmen".

Invite friends to enjoy the incense of crabs with chrysanthemum insects
A hundred years ago in Jincheng, whether it was a large family or an ordinary citizen, when the chrysanthemums were at their peak, the family had to get a few pots of chrysanthemums to play. Shuixizhuang, which occupies an important position in the history of Tianjin gardens, planted a wide variety of chrysanthemums at that time, among which there was a strange variety named "Golden Seal", the flower was yellow, the shape was square, as if it were a golden seal, which was a famous chrysanthemum specially cultivated in Shuixizhuang, once this flower was moved to the outside, the next year it was loose and round, no longer the original shape. Another famous product that is also famous as the "Golden Seal" is "Hibiscus City", which is a square pink chrysanthemum, which is also unique to Shuixizhuang. A long scroll titled "The Old Man of Muyuan with Sun Caiju" also shows the scene of Zha Riqian, the owner of Shuixi Zhuang, admiring the chrysanthemums with his family and friends, which is the image historical material of the early chrysanthemums in Tianjin. At that time, not only did large households have to hold "private chrysanthemum meetings", but ordinary people can also find their own fun of chrysanthemums. In the early morning of the chrysanthemum season, there are often vendors selling chrysanthemums on their shoulders in the streets and alleys of Jincheng. People who love flowers buy a few trees and cultivate them well, so they inevitably invite three or five friends to see the flowers and drink.
The life of Tianjin people is always a little exquisite, when the chrysanthemum is full of city, you can't live up to the good flowers, of course, you have to match it with some good wine, good tea, good things... According to some "old players" in Tianjin, it is a pleasure to play with chrysanthemums, about friends to appreciate chrysanthemums, many old Tianjin Wei inherited the "sense of ceremony" of this season - invite relatives and friends to come to the home, show their own chrysanthemums, discuss the skills of fiddling with chrysanthemums, and sometimes "raise the bar" for this, each has its own experience, each has its own reasons, but no matter how "competes", in the end everyone will sit around the hot pot, smell the chrysanthemum, drink chrysanthemum tea, someone carries a gourd in their arms, listens to the grass worms, and comes to a chrysanthemum pot. It must be used with white chrysanthemum, which is said to be non-toxic and fragrant. The freshly opened white chrysanthemum is plucked and removed from the stem, with fish fillets, shrimp, meat slices, plus vermicelli, cabbage hearts, put in the pot for a while, and it is floral and fragrant, warm and nourishing. There are also a few more yellow crabs, talking about the world, the air is filled with various aromas, and the rhyme of jin cavity reverberates indoors. Such a small day, Tianjin people will have a lot of fun.
With the fragrance of chrysanthemums, talk about the sophistication of Tianjin Wei, the hometown of chrysanthemums, the folk customs of raising chrysanthemums and appreciating chrysanthemums have been passed down to this day, and the historical relics and cultural connotations of Tianjin Juxiang are infiltrated into the bits and pieces of life.
