Flower on the tree

Speaking of flowers, people usually think of shrub flowers such as peony, peony, and rose. These flowers are very popular. In many urban parks, there are peony gardens, peony garden, and rose garden for tourists to visit and appreciate. In particular, peony is known as the national color. In Taiyuan City, there is a Yongzheng Temple, and the peony of the Ming Dynasty has been in the temple. It has been hundreds of years and is still blooming. Another kind of flower is tree flowers, such as apricot flowers, peach blossoms, and pear blossoms.

The shrubs represented by peony are blooming. Each flower is so large, so charming, so pleasing to the eye. Especially in recent years, in order to chase the public's appreciation, gardeners have cultivated various colors of flowers, which can be described as bright and dizzy. The trees represented by peach blossoms are not for the purpose of bloom. Shanxi has a citizen song "Peach Blossom Red, Apricot White", singing the intimate relationship between peach blossoms, apricot flowers and humans. The reason why I first said the differences between these two flowers is to write two kinds of trees downstairs in my house: sycamore flower and jujube flower.

Sycamor

Opposite the building, there are several sycamore trees with different sizes. As high as ten or twenty meters, there is a huge crown. The small ones are also about ten meters, thin and slim. These different sizes are different, and they cannot be seen on weekdays, but they are very different when blooming. The big tree opened purple flowers, and the tight white flowers, because it was too close, I mistakenly thought that it was a tree blooming with two kinds of flowers, which was very surprised. It is also dedicated to the trees carefully. It is indeed two trees, but it is close. Another tree flower is also purple, but it is more brilliant than the flower of the big tree. The flowers of several sycamore trees present three different colors.

The flower of the sycamore tree has been blooming for half a month. The tree is full of flowers and the aroma of the yard is like a grand flower; the flowers with branches are like a small horn, and it seems to play the spring. Music. In order to give the face of the flowers, the sycamore leaves have never appeared, and the tender leaves have not grown.

The sycamore tree takes flowers as an important ceremony, and the grand faction is just the opposite of the locust tree. The ingredients are long leaves. When the leaves are completely filled with branches, and when they are green, the locust blossoms exposed from the middle of the leaves. The locust flowers I saw in the early years were white, and many of them came out now are pink.

The sycamore flower does not have the glory of the Huaihua flower. Its trees seem to have nothing to do. Regardless of whether it is truly showing off, anyway, the tall and flowering period of the sycamore trees are inevitable. A few sycamore trees downstairs in my house will be seen when they go out to see the building in front of them.

Looking at the Indus trees every day, thinking of the purple flowers, and pondering some of the things contained in it. We should not treat the flower of sycamore as useless things. Yes, it is not like a food like Huaihua. Think about it carefully. Is it only beautiful to eat it? The real aesthetic value should be at the spiritual level. I think of what the ancients said: planting the sycamore tree, and their own phoenixes. The realm was immediately improved a lot. Why can only the sycamore tree attract the phoenix instead of other trees? Is there a necessary connection with the sycamore flower? The answer should be yes.

Also, there was a story of Tong Ye Feng in Chinese history. Regardless of whether the sycamore tree can attract the phoenix, and whether the story of Tong Ye Feng's brother is true or false, people have a beautiful sustenance for the Indus tree thousands of years ago. There is no doubt.

Ancient literati used Indus as an image and wrote a lot of poems. For example, in "Peacock Flying Southeast": "East -west planting pine cypress, planting sycamores on the left and right". Yu Shinan's "Cicada" also wrote in Indus: "Drinking Qinglu, sparse Tong. Living high voice, it is not to borrow autumn wind." There is a sentence in Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting": When the autumn rain sycamore leaves fall. "Li Yu had poems:" Lonely sycamore deep courtyard locks clear autumn "and so on. Many poets are using Indus as an image, borrowing scenes lyric, and using things.

The sycamores are not only charming, but also the huge leaves, which can not only attract Phoenix, but also can be sealed by Tongye. From a material perspective, the wooden wood of sycamore is also very good, light wood and beautiful pattern. When making furniture in the folk, Tongshu is the only choice for standing cabinets and making boxes, which is very face -oriented. The standing cabinet and boxes are not heavy furniture, which is suitable for putting some items such as clothing. When the bride is married, parents must ask carpenter to play two tung wooden boxes as dowry. The bride put her beloved softness into the box and locks, accompanied him for a long time. At this time, the Tongmu box has symbolic significance, and it represents the family.

A few sycamore trees downstairs have always occupied my conscious space. From time to time, when you walk under the tree, you can see the falling British on the ground. The beautiful scene does not lose the flowers on the tree. Is it rendering a grand flower?

Jujube

In the courtyard next door, there was a jujube tree, a few highs of high, and the crown was against the corridor on the second floor of the building where I lived. In autumn, a tree's red dates always provoked me a few more time. The denseness of red dates exceeds my expectations, densely, scrambling to visit the outside of the branches and leaves, like a naughty child. When the fruit is green, the color of the jujube leaves is basically not noticeable. Only when the smiling face becomes red, only when the laughter becomes red and bright, the color of the jujube is compared with the color of the jujube leaves. This comparison. , To set off the protagonist of the jujube fruit, this is what jujube trees should have. Yes, a jujube tree is for the result in people's impression, otherwise what does it talk about the value and significance it exist? This is the values ​​of a pragmatism. Is there no other memory of a jujube tree except for the result? Yes, it is often ignored.

In the early summer, I walked through the corridor on the second floor, accidentally smelled a strange aroma, slowed down, turned my eyes to put my eyes into the jujube tree on the yard next door. Jujube flowers are the aroma of jujube flowers. Under the sun, the green jujube leaves are stretched, and the golden jujube flowers under the leaves are arranged. How many leaves, how many, and more jujube flowers are available. How many jujube flowers bloom in the sun in a few feet tall jujube trees. It is just not conspicuous, not publicity, because it is so small and humble. The density of jujube flowers is large, the number is large, and the taste is particularly fragrant. The first thing people feel are the aroma of jujube flowers, and then they pay attention to its existence. Unlike some flowers, exaggerated shapes, colorful colors, and first popular, jujube flowers are not like this. It first uses the aroma to be refreshing, and then capture your eyes.

I have observed jujube flowers many times because its fragrance retains my footsteps and has to stare. Such a small flower is even embarrassed to add a "Duo" word after the "flower", which is too small to be able to describe and depict. It reminds me of osmanthus growing in the south. Osmanthus is divided into Jin Gui and Yingui, and it is also small as rice grains, which is also extremely fragrant. It blooms in autumn, its fragrance is charming, and the smart cakes are wonderful into the noodles, thus the snacks such as osmanthus cake, which is the biggest application value played by osmanthus in a practical perspective. And jujube flowers are different. Its aroma does not allow osmanthus. This is not its real purpose. Its ultimate purpose is to outline huge jujube fruits.

The ancients also paid attention to jujube flowers. Wang Yan wrote a poem "Yong Peony" in the Song Dynasty: "Jujube flowers to small can become real, although mulberry leaves are soft and spit. Seeing people love directly, the flowers of flowers bloomed to PK, and highly praised jujube flowers and mulberry leaves. Although the jujube flowers are small, they can bear the result. Although the mulberry leaves can feed the silkworms softly, the peony that is not used in the middle has been degraded severely. In fact, the two cannot be compared together, after all, it is not a type of flower.

There are countless flowers and trees in the world, whether it is grass flowers, shrub flowers, or trees; whether it is a big flower or a small flower; whether it is peony flowers, sycamore flowers, jujube flowers, or osmanthus, each grows and blooms in accordance with their respective laws. Some are grand, some are humble, some are charming, some are simple. Some prosperous life, eventually flowers blooming, some are not open, and when the autumn is full of branches, the descendants and grandchildren are infinite. How humans think of them do not shift by human will. They grow freely. They do not belong to humans, and they belong to one element in nature. Humans like or dislike, and do not affect their self -destruction.

Humans are passionate, especially literati, and never annoyed by ruthlessness. They are enthusiastic about what they like, sang, and praise them. Dabblowers, when the spring onion is blooming in spring, it is still asleep. The early summer after the blooming flowers blooms, the branches are silently blooming. It does not fight for spring, does not show up, and does not show off its beauty. It is the ideal of fruiting the fruit in autumn. How can this kind of flower -like flower not arouse the poet's enthusiasm?

I thought of those simple and unparalleled people, silently doing things that were not noticed by others, and these things had to do. The fragrance of jujube flowers is the kind of fragrant fragrance that does not make people panic. After smelling its fragrance, we can perceive the taste of life.
