Osmanthus is the first -class in the flowers.

The Mid -Autumn Festival is the festival of the full moon reunion. On this day, in addition to enjoying the moon and eating moon cakes, there is also an important custom, which is osmanthus and osmanthus wine. What is the connection between the Mid -Autumn Festival and osmanthus?

Osmanthus flowers are usually blooming in autumn and have been loved since ancient times. According to text records, the history of Chinese osmanthus tree has a history of more than 2500 years. "Shan Hai Jing · Nanshan Sutra" mentioned the mountains of Zhanyao. In Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs", "Aid the North Douxi Cinnamon, and Xinyi car." "Lu's Spring and Autumn" praised "the beauty of things, the laurel." Osmanthus is also loved by the poets of all generations. "Good flowers occupy one autumn fragrance" "The first leaky of the flowers", "not the species of the world, moved from the moon" and other famous sentences.

In ancient times, people often regarded osmanthus and their fruits as "Tianzhuang Lingshi" as a symbol of lofty, beautiful, and auspiciousness. The "Guizhou" is metaphorical as the moon, the Moon Palace is called "Guiya Palace", and the excellent children and grandchildren are called "Guizi Lan Sun", and the imperial examination high school is called "toad palace".

People with osmanthus and the moon have created many beautiful and moving myths, especially the stories of Wu Gangbu Gui. Legend has it that there are cinnamon trees in the middle of the month, five hundred feet high. Wu Gang from Hexi in the Han Dynasty, because he did not comply with the rules, was punished to the middle of the month because he did not comply with the rules, but this tree could not be cut with it. After millions of years, Wu Gang always worked hard every day, but the magical laurel tree was still the same, with vitality, every Mid -Autumn Festival, the fragrance overflowed. On the day of the Mid -Autumn Festival, Wu Gang took a little rest under the tree and spent a reunion with the world.

People looked up at Mingyue, smelled the laurel incense, and talked to the children about Wu Gangju's story, telling poems about osmanthus, and eating a piece of moon cake and drinking a glass of osmanthus wine. Essence
