Wang wei
Light shade court light rain
The deep courtyard is open during the day
Sit back and watch the moss color
I want to put on someone's clothes
Speaking of memories of Moss, the earliest is at my grandmother's house in the countryside. Grandma's house is an old house full of vicissitudes, whether it is on the green tiles of time or in front of the narrow stone steps, there are always pieces of warm, damp and green embellishment. They often make the soles of my feet slip, and if I am not careful, I will have a blue nose and swollen face, and they often make me wait for the glory to be silent, and time has settled.
It is humble
But it is full of vitality
Moss is not a precious plant, figless and fruitless, multiplying by spores, and there are more than 20,000 species in the world. Whether it is a lofty mountain or a wild forest, whether it is behind a corner house or a hedge tree root, you can live everywhere. The so-called humble moss refers to the fragility and tenacity of the moss. They prefer wet and gloomy environments and are sensitive to the environment, but there are also species that can survive in harsh environments, such as mountains, deserts and Antarctica.
Moss traces, one of the most important images in the poetry of Chinese poets, it is an old green background under the crimson sunset, a section of Yin Yin's farewell on the desolate ancient road, a sad thought on the broken wall steps, and a stack of heavy time on the ancient house.
Chinese natural culture often reveals a unique sad culture, especially flower culture. Moss, on the other hand, is more commonly found in the themes of palace grievances, nostalgia and natural poetry. Whether it is the loneliness and sadness of palace grievances and grievances, the gloomy sorrow of hanging on the past and nostalgia, or the quiet and elegant living environment, they all indicate the direction of poetry to the imagery of moss, and basically create the basic aesthetic attitude of Chinese literati to moss.
Southern China is rainy, humid, and green moss can be seen everywhere, especially on streets and stone paths, and objectively it is very easy to catch the eyes of poets, called part of the song of life. The mossy, wet and dark environment is easy for ancient scholars to think of the theme of inaccessible, desolate, ancient and dead, which inevitably stimulates feelings of loneliness, loneliness and sadness.
Ban Jieyu
It opened the prelude to the Chinese culture's singing of moss
Ancient poets wrote a lot of poems about moss, and most people may first think of Liu Yuxi's "Buried Room Inscription" wrote that "the moss marks are green on the upper order, and the grass is green in the curtain". What is unexpected is that Chinese's love for Moss is actually related to the lustful Hancheng Emperor and the beautiful and talented concubine Ban Jieyu.
Emperor Hancheng's concubine Ban Jieyu was talented and good at poetry, and was forced into the Eastern Palace because of Zhao Feiyan's jealousy. In the cold of the palace, she wrote poetry and wrote herself to a humble life, such as autumn grass like moss, and a sentence in the heirloom work "Self-Mourning Endowment" that "Huadian Dust And Jade Steps Moss, Atrium Green Grass Life" is the pioneer of Chinese culture's singing of moss, so that Moss has poetry, emotion and cultural identity.
Since the Western Jin Dynasty poet Lu Ji first wrote about moss in "Jie Yu Grievance", a large number of poems have used moss lyricism to hang ancient times, and moss culture has gradually spread in the literati circle; Shen Yue's poem "Yong Qing Moss" in the Qi Liang Period opened the precedent of Moss Yongwu poetry; Jiang Yan of the Southern and Northern Dynasties was the first to describe Moss separately in the lexicon, and his "Moss Endowment" expressed his nostalgic feelings with the help of humble moss; the Tang Dynasty was an era when famous classics were produced and moss culture was widely rooted in the hearts of the people. The poets Li Bai, Li Shangyin, Wei Yingwu, Han Yu, Wang Changling, Du Mu, Lu You, Wang Bo, and Liu Yuxi have all written a large number of famous poems with moss lyricism, and the Landscape Pastoral Poet Wang Wei and the Song Dynasty scholar Ye Shaoweng, in the two poems "Lu Chai" and "Garden Tour Is Not Worthless", have achieved a more peaceful state of mind, using god-like language to praise the elegant, quiet and lovely side of moss, which is no longer humble and noble, transcending the worldliness of time and space, and restoring the state of life itself.
It can be said that the development of Chinese's relationship with Moss began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, defined in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and widely spread in the Tang Dynasty. After that, it was basically inherited, from the Song and Yuan dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and has continued to this day. The feelings between the petite moss and the Chinese have gone through thousands of years of experience before they have life and spirit, and have an independent personality. The poet gave the moss the soul and the spiritual value of the moss, and the moss also enriched the aesthetic world of the Chinese. Such a process is the aesthetic evolution of Chinese moss, that is, the history of the change of Chinese's feelings for moss.

Influenced by Chinese culture, Japanese people also have a special love for moss.
Kyoto's microclimate is blessed with sunshine, air humidity and rain, as well as the acidity and alkali changes of the soil are suitable for the growth of moss, so the ancient temples in Kyoto are lush with green moss, and with the care of many professional moss smiths, moss appreciation has become a common practice.

Originally called The Western Temple, this temple of the Linji Sect was later renamed Xifang Temple by the master of the Gardener Mengxiao Shushi, and the name comes from the Dharma verse "Ancestor Xilai, Wuye Lianfang". There are about one hundred and twenty varieties of moss in Saiho-ji Temple, layered on top of each other, and few people in the temple bother with them, you don't know if the moss under your feet is from the Heian or Kamakura period, and the moss itself has become a cultural relic.

Kennin-ji Temple, along with Ryoan-ji Temple, is the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto, and zen master Eisei, the founder of the mountain, came to China twice to study Buddhism and brought Chinese tea culture to Japan. The atrium Chaoyin Garden is also a good place to watch the garden, the cloister is built around the courtyard, there are several stones in the garden are standing in the moss, it is easy to think of the peak of the mountain, especially cute is the tea garden area in the smallest space between the buildings is only enough for a tree to grow, in such a small space, it is also a tree, surrounded by a circle of moss, and the moss is covered with white sand.

It is the green silk of the girl by the Lancang River
The moss in the aquatic moss is the favorite of the Dai people. "March moss dew green head, April moss green river," Xishuangbanna moss is attached to the Lancang River shoal or the stone in the river, from the surface of the water, with the clear stream of green silk slowly swinging, like the Dai family girl's hair fluttering with the wind.
Although it is an aquatic plant, moss contains fat. In Dai, the river moss is called "solution", and the moss in the pool and reservoir is called "pound". Because the river moss tastes more beautiful, it is more loved by people.
The Dai people use moss for cooking, usually for a period of time after the beginning of spring. In the rainy season, it is difficult to catch moss when the rivers rise. Therefore, every year after the Spring Festival, groups of Dai family members begin to go into the water to catch moss. Generally, the Dai family chooses moss to cook, and it is better to be dark green.
There are many ways to eat moss, steaming, roasting moss, boiling moss, fried moss, frying, each with its own flavor.
After the moss is removed from the water and washed, the washed moss is pulled apart and chopped, and stirred in the water to form a thick juice. Then use a fine mesh sieve the size of a sieve to pick it up, slightly filter the moisture, and peel off the moss that forms a pancake on the mesh sieve like handmade paper, sprinkle it with ginger juice, sesame seeds and other spices to dry. When you eat it, cut it into small pieces and fry it crisply in the oil pan, it becomes a delicious Dai family dish full of aroma.
In recent years, what has continued to be popular and heating up is the moss micro-landscape, whether it is online stores or physical stores have sprung up in large quantities. Friends who have a heart can try it for themselves.
