Say goodbye to winter and spring.

winter jasmine, also known as golden plum, golden belt and small yellow flower, is called "four friends in the snow" together with plum blossom, daffodil and camellia.

Among the flowers growing in the north, plum blossom is not the first to announce spring. Although Mao Zedong praised plum blossom as "Qiao doesn't strive for spring, she only reports spring until the mountain flowers bloom, and she laughs in the bushes", winter jasmine is the most. She is also in the company. Therefore, it is also appropriate to give these poems to the winter jasmine.

I clearly remember that several winter jasmine plants were planted in the university campus. In the chilly wind in early spring, the vegetation was still yellow and there was no smell of spring. But inadvertently, I found that the winter jasmine in the corner had blossomed into strings of golden flowers, which added a lot of joy to those who were looking forward to spring. < p Winter jasmine has come to announce that it is about to go away.

Don't look at it like a cucumber.

However, many people don't pay much attention to it. Liu Chang, a poet of the Song Dynasty, said, "The yellow flowers and green vines are neglected, and the waves are famous in the world", which means that people don't care about the existence of winter jasmine, and it is only a hollow reputation.

Others call it an "tyrant" guest, "tyrant" The ancients called some things beyond their duty "trespass". For example, if you didn't have enough grade to carry a big sedan chair, but you also found eight people to carry it, the emperor could sit in the dragon chair, but you got a seat. This is the crime of "trespass". Those who call the winter jasmine a "trespass" guest are nothing more than dissatisfied with the fact that the spring jasmine blooms earlier than the hundred flowers. What he means is that it is too rustic, but it is the first to open, and they don't understand themselves. Most poets still like the spring jasmine. Bai Juyi has two poems praising the spring jasmine:

Recruit Liu Langzhong on behalf of the spring jasmine

Fortunately, it was planted in a similar way to Song Jun, and it didn't bloom with peaches and plums for a while. How dare the apricot garden hinder you from going? It didn't take time to spend it.

Playing with the spring jasmine and giving it to Yang Langzhong

There are a few yellow flowers. He also said that a royal garden like the "Apricot Garden" wouldn't dare to keep Jasminum nudiflorum, because only Jasminum nudiflorum can be seen when there are no flowers in early spring. Unlike what Liu Chang said earlier, Bai Juyi advised people to "don't look at it like a turnip", which is what we call kohlrabi. In winter, we keep a Chinese cabbage knot in one's heart in the water, and sometimes we can open a small one. Everyone should never treat the winter jasmine as a knot in one's heart.

It is recorded in the book that some people regard it as a treasure, and Wang Shimao in the Ming Dynasty once wrote in "Miscellaneous Garden and Sparse Flowers": "Although the winter jasmine is a plant, it should not be abandoned when it is first decorated with spring scenery. The rest is a bonsai, which is old and dry and natural. People think it is a treasure." < p There are no leaves, but small yellow flowers are covered with the whole branches. Therefore, the ancients gave the winter jasmine another nickname-"Golden Belt".

In Ye Shenming's poem "Happy Spring Festival" in Qing Dynasty, it was written:

Spring flowers are like the sea. Guan Qunfang and Mei Wei are handsome. The flowers are out of the ordinary, but they are welcome. According to folklore, after Xi Shi destroyed Wu with a honey trap, he went boating on five lakes with Fan Li, which coincided with the blooming of Winter jasmine. Fan Li lovingly folded a branch around Xi Shi's waist and praised it as the "golden belt". Since then, the "golden belt" has become another name for Winter jasmine. Of course, this is only a legend.

However, in the eyes of the later world, this Write down the winter jasmine, and note: "a gold belt":

slim and petite, but also strive for early spring, occupy the central color well, and decorate the branches skillfully.

When the Eastern Emperor first arrived in Jiangcheng, Yin Qin went to welcome the spring first, begging with the gold belt, holding the red and purple in succession.

"Begging with the gold belt, holding the red and purple in succession" They still ignore the winter jasmine. They pay more attention to peony, peach, apricot, chrysanthemum and plum, but the little winter jasmine fails to enter their eyes. Someone once associated the winter jasmine with the winter jasmine in a dream of red mansions, saying that the girl of winter jasmine, like the winter jasmine, has never been taken seriously by others, and sometimes she is not invited to poetry parties or anything, and she is not treated in the eyes from top to bottom, which is somewhat similar.

However, There are still a few poems about the winter jasmine that deserve our appreciation:

In the poem "Winter jasmine" in the Song Dynasty, Dong Siyu said:

Breaking the cold and taking advantage of the warmth will make the East Emperor a rotten yellow, and the wild flowers will sway and the golden flowers will be tender, and the dew will seduce the bees.

From the beginning, thousands of flowers will be busy. Suddenly, the flowers feel new. I don't know how many springs have been welcomed in order to ask the deepest part of the famous garden.

In the Song Dynasty, Han Qi once guarded the western border, enjoying a high reputation. He said, "There is a Korean in the army, and the western thieves are terrified when they hear it." His poems are indeed extraordinary:

The curtains are slender and green, and the snow rushes to the cold and turns pale yellow. Spring is not self-sufficient and flowers are welcome. The spirit of silent dedication is vividly written.

Li Yu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, once had a wonderful discussion on the relationship between flowers and the aura of heaven and earth in "Casual Tales". He said:

The flowers that bloom at the age of one year can be used as a complete manuscript of Tiangong. Plum blossoms and daffodils are also a test of pen writing. Although their qi is strong, their machine is still astringent, so the flowers are not very big and their color is not very good. However, those whose flowers are still not very big and thick are not gathered together because of their ideas, and the pen machine is too vertical and difficult to collect, and its momentum is unstoppable. When the peony and peony are opened, the literary pen will be transformed into a realm, and it will return to perfection, and it will accumulate smoothly and brilliantly, and the creation will be here. It can be said that it will make the talents exhausted and not stay. Although vigorous, the brushwork is crude, so the flowers of plum blossom and narcissus are not very big and the color is not very strong. When they are opened to peach blossoms and plum blossoms, they will be "full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm", but at this time the flowers are not big enough and the color is not strong enough, because at this time, the thinking is too chaotic and the brushwork is too vertical, and they have not reached the best level of proficiency. By the time the peony peony blooms, the article skill will be at this time. That winter jasmine is like the first sentence of the manuscript, which reminds me of the only poem in A Dream of Red Mansions written by Xifeng: "The north wind is tight all night". The book comments: "Although this sentence is rough, it doesn't see the bottom. This is the way to write a poem. It is not only good, but also left many points for future generations."

So is winter jasmine, "Welcome it."
