Around my house, there are bushes of trees, locusts, mulberry, elm, willows and tung trees, all of which are planted by my great-grandfathers, and have a history of nearly seventy years. Among these trees, I have a different feeling for the neem tree in the southwest corner of the house. It is very close to a jujube tree in my neighbor's house. Last year, the home appliance line was diverted, and this neem tree just blocked the road and had to be cut off. When my father told me, he was reluctant to leave like a close friend forever, and was sad for a long time.
The earliest understanding of neem tree is that its fruit is very bitter. When I was a child, whenever I picked up the neem tree dates on the ground, my parents would come over and shout, "Take it away quickly, this is the neem tree date, not the jujube , it will be a medicine for people after taking it." Before I could finish the drink, I threw it far away, but I still thought about it. Once, my fellow friends of the same age and I were in a hurry to compete for the wooden dates on the ground and accidentally swallowed the already withered neem tree dates into my mouth. The bitterness of my mouth suddenly reminded me of my parents' teachings. So he quickly vomited and ran to rinse his mouth. I was frightened all afternoon, but I never told my parents. From then on, I was ungrateful to Neem Tree. All year round, flourishing and withering, and never ask about it.
When I was in high school, I fell in love with prose poetry. One day, I read an essay about neem tree flower . The article says that although the jujube in the neem tree is bitter, the flowers are beautiful. The stamens are purple rod-shaped, the stamens are like trumpet mouths, the surroundings are purple, and the heart of the stamens is yellow, covered with pollen. 光新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新新It is said that after the neem flowers fade, spring is gone and summer is officially coming. This description made me suddenly remember the neem tree at home. It turned out that it was so attractive to literati and poets. It was really unexpected. Later, I paid attention to the poems chanting the neem flowers. Wen Tingyun , Mei Yaochen , Yang Ji and other great poets all have special poems passed down from generation to generation, and my favorite is "Zhongshan Late Stroll" by Wang Anshi : "The light rain and light breeze fall on the neem flowers, and the fine red is like snow dots flat sand. The kimono fence and bamboo houses on Jiangcun Road, I saw restaurants selling in Yicheng." After that, my indifference about the neem trees that have accumulated in my heart for many years gradually faded. Sometimes, I would carefully watch the shape of neem leaves ; sometimes I would stare at it and meditate on the poems of the ancients; sometimes I would move a bench and sit in its shadow and read some leisure books.
Later, I fell in love with " Dream of Red Mansions ". In the Hongxue work, I was surprised to learn that Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin's 's number is Lianting . Cao Yin is a strange man with extraordinary talent and a brilliant temperament. He was a great poet in the early Qing Dynasty and was praised by Zhu Yizun, , Jiang Chenying, and others. He also printed " Complete Tang Poems " when he was in Yangzhou . Such a famous scholar actually named him 吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉吉� I immediately read the relevant books and found out that when Cao Yin took office as a father, he took office in Jiangning Weaving , he saw that only one of the icy trees his father planted in the old office was still there, and there was a small pavilion next to him. He painted the "Micy Pavilion Picture" because he lamented his life experience and remembered his ancestors. He engraved dozens of famous masters in the country and wrote poems, and collected them into four or five volumes. The most well-known ones among the titles are: Nalan Xingde , Gu Zhenguan , Wang Fangqi, Jiang Chenying, Mao Qiling , Yan Shengsun , Wang Shizhen , Pan Bingyi, etc. Since then, Cao Yin changed his name from "Lixuan" to "Lianting", and named his collection of poems and essays. Such an ordinary tree, mixed in the bushes, contains such a huge historical story. I couldn't help but feel respect for it. I told my father this discovery, and his father said, "This kind of tree was seen everywhere in the past. It was not surprising that it was cut down in large quantities after planting Yipin . Now the only one left in our village is my family." I quickly took over the conversation: "Don't cut off this plant in our family, we must let it grow quietly!"
This year, new branches grew on the roots of the tree after the cut down. After a spring and summer growth, it was more than two meters high and the leaves were lush. My younger brother said that growing this tree is inappropriate, so it’s better to cut it off as soon as possible. I said, don't care about it, just let it grow.
