Every year in May and June, on my way to and from get off work, there are always bursts of fragrance, which is the fragrance of albizia flowers.
Albizia julibrissin, also known as "Lantana flower" and "velvet flower", is a gift from the Albizia Julibrissin tree to the world in early summer.
I can’t remember exactly which year this street was re-greened. Although cheap willow trees are easy to survive, due to too many diseases and insect pests and the climbing and breaking of people who are greedy for willow silk, they are left in ruins within a few years. After they were all plowed away, two rows of acacia trees were planted. Since then, every early summer, the Albizia julibrissin trees that have grown year by year have generously bloomed with splendor, blooming for the people here.
In fact, before the Albizia Julibrissin blooms, the first beauty the Albizia Julibrissin tree presents to you is its leaves. The leaves of Albizia Julibrissin bloom at sunrise and close at sunset. They are as thin as fine feathers and extremely elegant. Such leaves definitely did not come from the kitsch scissors of February spring breeze, they were given to willow leaves. Facing the leaves of the Albizia Julibrissin tree, you have to savor them carefully, just like a cup of fragrant tea. At this time, if your eyes are wandering, you must feel guilty for waiting for this blessing.
Albizia julibrissin flowers are brightly colored and fragrant. They are clustered in clusters and give people a plush beauty. After waiting patiently for a period of time, the albizia trees bloomed one after another. The colors ranged from deep red to light red. Although the shades were different, they were all full of endless beauty, because it all originated from it. Delicate and beautiful. The beauty of Albizia Julibrissin is not arrogant. At this time, let alone seeing flowers such as peonies, even when I recall it, I feel that the huge flowers are disgusting - compared with Albizia Julibrissin, their beauty is really overbearing. This, I hate!
Because of my work, on the days when the albizia flowers bloom, I have my share of beauty!
In the early morning, the Albizia Julibrissin tree woke up, and I became energetic together with the Albizia Julibrissin tree on my way to work. Walking under her umbrella-like green shade, smelling the fragrance of the new day, your mood seems to be filled with the fragrance. At this moment, if there is a cool morning breeze, the branches of Albizia Julibrissin will sway gracefully. Each Albizia Julibrissin tree is like a group of dancing girls in green clothes, holding red fans to dance for you, making you have to think about... Stop and enjoy this performance, which is all dressed up but not kitsch. At this moment, there is only joy in peace and tranquility after joy in your heart.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Albizia julibrissin has a calming effect, can calm the five internal organs, harmonize the mind, and improve the color. It has a good effect on depression, chest tightness, insomnia, forgetfulness, neurasthenia, etc. Therefore, , the madman Ji Kang said in "On Health Preservation": "Albizia Julibrissin avoids anger, and daylily forgets worries." I didn't know before that Albizia Julibrissin had such effects, but I can understand why Ji Kang thought of it when talking about health preservation. "Free from wrath". This leader of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove", this person who offended too many villains, this person who "goes beyond the sect of fame and lets nature take its course" is very reborn, but in that life-threatening era, he cannot avoid being angry. Where to take care of yourself? Therefore, he thought of Albizia Julibrissin and prescribed a "prescription" to avoid anger. However, in the end, he still did not realize his wish of "picking up the Wei Mountain, sending out the rocks, roaring and chanting forever, maintaining good health and longevity". "Guangling San" has been extinct since then. If you know Hehuan, you should feel sorry for Mr. Shu Ye.
Today, our society must be harmonious. Among them, the most important thing is the harmony of our own body and mind. Therefore, on days when the albizia tree is in bloom, I hope you will go downstairs after get off work. If you are lucky, take a walk under the albizia tree and stop!
Under the tree, there is no wealth, but there is health!
