sunflower field
Autumn wind is yellow, leaning against the setting sun, the green golden plate, the first day is bright in color.
The wind in mid-autumn is full of harvest news. September is the harvest season for sunflowers. The golden autumn is dazzling and warm, and towards the direction of the sun, melting the light at the fingertips.
If you are lucky enough to go to the sunflower field in autumn, please bring a bunch of warm autumn sun, pack it up and store it, take it out in the cold winter to bake your sad heart, and accumulate full energy.
I believe many people know that Van Gogh's sunflower is so brilliant and almost crazy, from this flower that is born towards the sun. It will turn with the sunshine, with eternal brilliance, which makes people unconsciously infected.
Van Gogh's work "Sunflower"
"Plant Products" written by Zhao Rong, a scholar in the late Ming Dynasty (published in 1617), which reads: "There are also sun-facing chrysanthemums. The trunk is seven or eight feet high to more than 100 feet high, and the flowers on it are like a plate, which follows the direction of the sun. When the flowers bloom, the plate is heavy and cannot be turned again."
Wang Xiangjin's "Quanfang Tu" records: Echinos and Yingyang Flowers are as big as plates, with single petals yellow in color, and the heart is like a beehive. The above all show that sunflowers were first introduced to my country in .
I wonder if you are as confused as me: when I was young, I recited "The sun is green in the garden, and the morning dew is waiting for the sun to dry", and I always thought that this was the sunflower, but the sunflower is golden, and it is green here, and I feel puzzled;
and then read Sima Guang 's "Not willow catkins rise because of the wind, only sunflowers fall towards the sun", thinking that this should be the sunflower.
Later I learned that the "sunny" in the Qingqing Garden is the sun among the five traditional Chinese vegetables, and the "sunflower tilted towards the sun" is actually the "sunny" flower, not the sunflower.
Compared with the imported product "sunflower", where are the traditional Chinese "sunflower" and "sunflower" sacred? Why are they so mysterious but so common? Today we will share the story behind the ancient vegetable king "Sui".
sunflower vegetable is also called "winter cold vegetables" in many places
June ecstasy and sausage, July ecstasy and sausage-sausage, the king of traditional Chinese vegetables
" Book of Songs ": June ecstasy and sausage, July ecstasy and sausage, August ecstasy and sausage, October ecstasy and sausage, spring wine is used to make you live long.
Sunflower, beans, jujubes, and rice are all daily foods. Lucao means plums, and soybeans are grapes. Soybeans are collectively called beans, while sunflower is a vegetable, Mallow family , herbaceous plant, seedling leaves can be used to cook or eat raw.
Although the existence of the " Mallow " genus plants is almost negligible in our dietary culture, in ancient times, it was the first choice for people, especially ordinary people, and it was the first choice for vegetables.
as sunflower into vegetables
Generally, sunflower among ancient vegetables refers to mung . It is a herb with round leaves and curvy edges. It is sweet and cold in nature and tastes sweet and cold, and has the effects of clearing heat, relaxing water and slipping intestines.
and it also has medicinal value - the whole plant can be used as medicine, which has the effects of diuretic, lactation, intestinal moisturization and laxative.
" Eryayi " says, " sunflower is the main one of the vegetables, and the taste is particularly sweet and smooth "; Li Shizhen Compendium of Materia Medica says, " was the main one of the five vegetables, and the ancients were the common ". It can be seen that sunflower is the most indispensable among the vegetables of the ancients, and it is listed as the king of the hundreds of vegetables.
Qingqing Garden
Practice in the mountains to watch the morning hibiscus, and pineapple clear rice cakes - a multi-faceted "sun" dish, poetry and food meaning,
"sun" As an important vegetable in ancient times, it has been loved by many celebrities, such as Li Taibai's writing "Wild drink and encourage wine, garden vegetables Lu Kui ."
Drinking against the mountains and fields, dew and sunflower wine, a self-satisfied farmer's painting - is a rare refuge in the war, and has become a wild and unruly Li Bai's ."
Drinking against the mountains and fields, dew and sunflower wine, a happy farmer's painting - is a rare refuge in the war, and has become a wild and unruly Li Bai's tranquil and peaceful in the bumpy and ups and downs of fate.
6Tianbao For fourteen years, Li Bai, who escaped from the rebellion, lived in Xunyang. The county magistrate Luqiu built a "reading platform" and a "drinking pavilion" for him, allowing Li Bai to read and write poems among the mountains and rivers, and they played the piano and wrote poems together, and they sang with wine.
Then Luqiu lived in seclusion, Li Bai was lying ill, and Li Bai was invited to Luqiu's villa. The environment is quiet and has a lot of pastoral interest, so I wrote "Gived to Luqiu Chushi", which describes the scene of "Du Kui is like wine, and the more I drink it, the more I drink it."
Lu Kui drinks wine. The more you drink, the more you get
Two years later, Li Bai was sentenced to exile Yelang, and Luqiu saw him off. I believe that Poetry Immortal must have mixed feelings in his heart. Such mountains and villages have become a rare peace and happiness in his second half of his life.
In fact, the deliciousness of sunflower and the intoxicating wine are not only because of them themselves, but also because of the confidant who drinks together: company along the way, warmth of mutual appreciation, people who seem optimistic may be more sensitive in their hearts and desire the beauty of human nature.
Li Bai here does not have the unruly and unruly "the emperor calls him to come and he claims to be an immortal in the wine", nor does he have the endless sorrow of "raising a glass to relieve sorrow and sorrow, and drawing a knife to cut off the water and water to flow."
He is the Li Bai who is the closest to him as an ordinary person. He is not the moon in the sky or the frost on the ground, but the Li Bai who smiles indifferently and is peaceful and warm.
Poetry Fairy's Enjoy the Love
In addition to Li Bai, there is also Wang Wei's "Practice in the mountains and watch the morning hibiscus in the pine tree", Dongpo 's "Cooking the sunflower soup and pouring the cinnamon sauce, it's a pity to be in the barbarian village".
The sunflower in the poem records can be described as a variety of existences: vegetarian food in Qingzhai, drink guan wine, peaceful and secluded, romantic and unruly, always so harmonious and so special.
Because the ancients ate mungus before the dawn, the sun had not yet risen and the tender leaves were still stained with crystal dewdrops, so it is called " dew sunny ".
, and the sunflower written by Dongpo is a common vegetable in ancient times. It is cooked with mallow and rice, and is a common common common dish.
Nutritious and delicious civilian cuisine - Kuiyuan soup
Qingqing sun in the garden, the morning dew waits for the sun to dry - Kuiyuan, born towards the sun, this heart is loyal
The ancients loved Kui, not only because it is easy to obtain but also because of its loyal nature.
We are familiar with " Long Song Xing " "The green sun in the garden, the morning dew waits for the sun to dry", the sun leaves are green, and we quietly wait for the sun in the garden, just like a young man thriving.
"Huainanzi·Shu Linxun" writes: "The sage is like the sun and the sun in the Tao."
Sunflower leaves have a very wonderful fate with the sun we are familiar with, that is, they both rotate with the sun (the sunflower follows the sun from east to west, and returns to the east in the early morning, waiting for the sun to rise).
Sunflowers move with the sun, which is a metaphor for the sage's pursuit of light and admiration for the right path.
facing the light
Sima Guang's "Not willow catkins rise because of the wind, but sunflowers fall to the sun" is a way to express his loyalty to the country.
Liu Changqing 's "There is always no sun here, and the green is alone in the cloud. The sun is too far, it is not because it is not because it is not because it is not because it is because it is loyal but cannot be trusted.
Du Fu wrote in " From Beijing to Fengxian County to chant the thoughts of 500 words": "The sun is overturned, and the nature of things is hard to take away." "I am ashamed of my nest and the reason, but I have not changed my fate."
does not change its course or its ambition, just like sunflower husk (a husk is a bean seedling) grows towards the yang and falls with the yang, but what a painful understanding behind this.
Du Fu's long poem is like
. What makes people shocked is the reality behind it. At this time, , the Tang Dynasty, , was actually not well-known and was about to turn a sharp turn and faced the danger of demise.
Tianbao Fourteenth year, Du Fu was appointed to join the army. In November, he went to Fengxian County to visit relatives from Chang'an . At that time, An Lushan had rebelled (but the poet did not know).
He passed by Lishan , Xuanzong and the imperial concubine were enjoying a banquet, singing and dancing to peace. What he saw and heard along the way shocked, angry, worried, and lamented, and wrote the "The rich family smelled of wine and meat, and the road was frozen to death."
is a shame as a father, and has no food to die - experiencing the pain of losing his son in his forties is such a big blow to a father.
Sorrowing his misfortune and angering his inability to fight, but Du Fu still loves this hot land and the people, just like the sunshine. That is his never-changing loyalty. Even if reality almost destroys faith and is about to collapse, it still does not change his ambitions. This may be why he is called the Poet Saint.
