The scene of "the fragrance of April on earth is over, and peach blossoms begin to bloom in the mountain temples" has only begun in May in Liaosi, which is the flower season in Liaosi, and the place where the remnants of the Songling Mountains are located is filled with the rosy fragrance of mountain flowers, including the plums of Elm Leaf, Tartar Fragrance (wild azalea), Prunus, and various lilies. various kinds of lilies, and lilacs everywhere, which is the national flower hand-picked by Empress Dowager Xiao and the spokesperson of Buddhist culture.
In the month of May in Liaoxi, lilacs are undoubtedly the protagonist among all the flowers, firstly because of their abundance, secondly because of their wide range, and then because of their strong fragrance. It's a very hardy flower with a strong vitality, and it grows in clumps and trees, on hillsides and ravines, at the end of the world, between walls, by streams and roadsides, and everywhere in the world, there are clusters of them, and some are closely connected to each other, and some are spreading over the mountains, and some are even in the ditch. Even in the city, but also everywhere it is decorated, streets and alleys, institutions, factories and mines, under the dam, parks, and a variety of green belts, everywhere it figure. Some clusters, some are strips, some scattered, they shoulder the main responsibility, in addition to the early spring and winter, the other side of the blooming.
Liaoxi lilacs, May flowers are the most fragrant, May flavor is the strongest, whether deep purple, whether light purple, whether light pink, whether white, are clusters in full bloom, the tree a cluster, the flowers are many, many clusters, because a cluster of lilacs, there are usually a lot of branches, each branch, the top of the top of the cluster of densely packed flower buds.
When lilac flowers bloom, the top of the tower of dense buds, almost simultaneously bloomed, countless small flowers, composed of a beautiful flower clusters, that the rich fragrance of the pleasant flowers, but also directly to the passer-by's body and mind, that almost a bunch of a bunch of send over, that almost all-around push over, thick can not be again thick, lush can not be again rich, that is the real flowers attack, so that you are all the way to the heart! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a pair of lilacs, and then you'll be able to get your hands on one.
My junior high school language teacher Ba Fulin, my high school teacher Zou Jixing, are in the explanation of literature, told the story about lilacs. That is a folk, but has been into the enlightenment classroom of the tragic love story, but also the long history of Chinese culture point of view. The synopsis of the story says that a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exams borrowed the house of a rich official, and the official's daughter, who was as beautiful as a flower, fell in love with the talented scholar, and it was a rare opportunity, and both sides felt that each other was the best half of this life, so they would rather risk universal condemnation and make a private bet on their marriage. But the clerk said nothing, and the woman, who was a fierce woman, crashed into the wall and died.
The beautiful lady died before, is letting the scholar out of a difficult couplet, the scholar out of the cold wine, one point, two points, three points. The lady was about to the next couplet, dad anger appeared, so the sad sad that happened. The staff outside the girl buried in the north ravine, the scholar did not go to catch the exams, just in her grave, built a straw hut, yin and yang two separated from the end of this life. The girl's grave, the next year sprouted a lot of lilac trees, lilac flowers bloom, the scholar realized that the daughter-in-law is giving him the next couplet: lilac flowers, a hundred heads, a thousand heads, ten thousand heads.
Miss Scholar are ancient people, this couplet must also be in traditional Chinese characters to be clear, the ancients pay attention to poetry and painting couplets, which is the basic skills of the literati must be able to do, but no matter how good the pairs to do, can not compare to this lilac flowers lead to a thousand years of absolute. I have been touched by the teacher's unfolding story, and every time the lilacs bloom, I can think of the cold wine, and the poignant lilacs fall, and sometimes I regret for the teacher, why invariably also taught us the persistence of love? Why didn't you say that we have the most lilac trees in Liaosi? Is it because we are afraid of diluting one, two, three points and millions of heads? Instead, the love of lilacs is more common? The most regrettable, the teacher did not tell us, there is a white storm horse lilac, if the symbol of purity symbolizes the love of the lilac added to the story, it will be more perfect.
The lilacs of Jiangnan, born in the smoke and rain, open in the mist, incense in the rich melancholy, fragrant knot in the rain of sorrow, even Li Bai Du Fu and Han Qi, can not escape its elegance and melancholy, but the lilacs growing in western Liaoning, facing drought, adapted to the cold, as if experiencing a thousand hammers, the vitality of the more tenacious, the flowers bloomed more fragrant and more rosy. Liaoxi lilac blossom incense, it is Han Yu (ancient Changli now Yi County) old folks depicted: May lilac like fire red, to the sky bright smile spring wind.
Don't miss the May of Liaoxi, don't miss Liaoxi more intense fragrance of lilacs, even if you pick a few, placed on rice paper, drunk ink, then drunk Acacia, and then, after the drunken heart and then drunk Yajie. You can also do reverie, hut under the South Mountain, lilac slope then plant lilac, a few like-minded, repair hedge also planted flowers, butterflies fluttering, bees dance, birds under the eaves, leisure to the twilight of the fall.
Liaosi lilacs, not only chaste, but also particularly strong, although the flowers are small, but fragrant, from spring to autumn, are feeling the comfort and coziness it creates, the lilacs of Liaosi, but also the influence of Liaosi people's love of life, jinzhou xingcheng huludao, beizhen yixian and panshan, lilacs are open everywhere, persuade you to have the leisure to come to Liaosi, it is best to be in the month of May, to appreciate the lilacs here are blooming, it is a continuous happiness! The first thing you need to do is to get a good feeling for your body and mind.
