Mother Flower —— The Legend of Dianthus caryophyllus

I don't know which dynasty and generation it was. In a mountain in the northeast, there lived an ordinary family named Shi. The old couple only have one son, Dianthus. There is no real estate or land in the family, and he relies on the old stone man to dig medicine for a living. It's a pity that when Dianthus caryophyllus just learned to speak, Shi Laohan dug medicine in the mountains and fell to his death. Since then, the mother and son have lived together, and life has become more difficult. Mother Dianthus provoked the burden of raising her son alone. Every day, she goes into the mountains to dig mountain products for some food and cooks porridge with wild vegetables. In this way, after more than ten years, Dianthus mother went through all the hardships and finally pulled Dianthus into a big boy of seventeen or eighteen.

Children from poor families have long been sensible. The child Dianthus is good at everything, helping her mother inside and out. Just suffering from small hardships and poverty, the body is very thin, not only can't support this family alone like other boys, let the elderly mother rest, but also get a shameful disease-wetting the kang from childhood. A young man of seventeen or eighteen is afraid to mention the matter of marrying a wife. Alas, poor and sick, who wants to be the daughter-in-law of this family? The son is sensible and doesn't say anything, but the mother's eyes are painful. Mother Dianthus stopped digging mountain products when she entered the mountains. She learned to pick herbs like an old stone man. But when you are old, how can you climb mountains and drill deep forests? Besides, there are thousands of herbs in Qian Qian that can cure my son's illness blindly? But mother Dianthus does not fear the dangers of mountains and roads, and digs herbs every day. Every time she finds a new herb, she first tastes it with her mouth: bitter, bitter, hemp and astringent, and her mother first tastes the ups and downs in the world. Several times, she was poisoned by herbs, and her face was swollen and jealous, but she quickly ate some herbs for clearing away heat and toxic materials, and finally saved the day. It's been a year, two years and three years, but the herbs that may cure my son's illness have not been found yet.

In a blink of an eye, it was May and June of the third year. On this day, Dianthus stopped her mother who was going out again and cried, "Mom, don't go. I can't cure diseases, and I won't marry. You worked hard to raise me. Not only did I fail to repay you, but I also dragged you down. My son is really sorry for my mother. " Mother Dianthus touched Dianthus's head with tears and said, Son, mother knows you are filial, but how can mothers in the world watch their son get sick and not save him? In addition, if you find a medicine that can cure your disease, it will not only cure your disease, but also cure other people suffering from it all over the world, which will not only relieve my mother's worries, but also help other mothers. "Say that finish, she resolutely go out.

This time she went further and climbed higher. But after a day's walk, there is nothing new. Seeing that it is getting late, the mountain breeze is blowing gently and the cold is attacking people. Mother Dianthus sighed and sat on a rock to rest her feet. I hope I've gone far today and I can't come back tonight. Thinking about my sick son, I even feel that I am getting older and older. I won't mention climbing mountains then, and I can't even walk. How can I find the medicine again? The more she thought about it, the more anxious and sad she became, and she couldn't help crying. Two strings of hot tears kept falling into the cracks in the rocks. But I didn't expect the miracle to happen at this time, only to see a flower suddenly grow out of the mountain gap where tears flowed. This flower plant is only one foot high, with thin leaves and flowers at the top of its branches. The flower is not big, several small flowers gather together like umbrellas, and the pink flower swings slightly under the mountain wind as if to say hello to her. Mother Dianthus quickly rubbed her eyes, thinking that unless she is old and her eyes are dim, how come she has never seen such beautiful flowers in this Shan Ye? But when I opened my eyes, the flower was still nodding and smiling. When mother Dianthus heard a sweet girl's voice, she said, "Old mother, pull up the whole flower and go home and decoct water for your son. Can cure your son's illness. " Mother Dianthus only heard the sound, but no one, only the flowers in Shan Ye were smiling. Mother Dianthus suddenly understood that Hua Xian was helping her and treating her son. When Dianthus mother is happy, people are full of energy. Looking up, ah, Shan Ye is dotted with these beautiful flowers. She quickly took out a lot, held it and ran down the hill.

When I got home, Dianthus was in a hurry and didn't know where to find my mother. Mother Dianthus happily told Dianthus about the adventures on the mountain and gave Dianthus water to drink as instructed by Huaxian. As soon as the medicine is decocted, I only feel the fragrance in the straw room. Eating carnation for three days in a row not only cured the problem of bed wetting, but also made people more energetic, and always felt that they were full of inexhaustible strength. Dianthus is filial to children. As long as he is in good health, he never wants his mother to be tired of digging medicine up the mountain. Soon, he married his daughter-in-law, and the family lived happily ever after.

Since then, the news that mother Dianthus met Huaxian, a herbalist, and cured her son Dianthus quickly spread. All the poor people suffering from similar diseases came to Dianthus mother and asked her for this kind of flowers and plants to cure the disease, and all failed. People are grateful to Hua Xian. They understand that Hua Xian was moved by Dianthus's maternal love, so they offered a helping hand. Every time people look for this kind of flower, they can't name it. They only know that the flowers found in Dianthus can cure diseases, so they call them "Dianthus mother flowers", and when they are called, they simply call them "Dianthus flowers".

Carnation is still a traditional Chinese medicine, which has special effects on the treatment of dripping urine and astringent pain. Until now, carnations are still the most common flowers. It doesn't have the splendor of peony, the unbeaten romance of Chinese rose, the delicate amorous feelings of peony and the self-appreciation of orchid fragrance ... but it represents the great feelings of mother. Like carnation's mother, she went through hardships for her children and silently contributed to future generations. Without a mother, Dianthus becomes a flower that everyone loves.

Stories and legends about Qionghua

Introduction to Qionghua

Qionghua, also known as the gathering place of Eight Immortals, Iris, and Niuer Embroidered Beads. Deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub of Caprifoliaceae. It blooms in April and May, and the flowers are as big as plates and as white as jade. Cymes are born at the ends of branches, surrounded by eight sterile flowers developed from sepals, with bisexual flowers in the middle.

Qionghua is famous for its lush foliage and flawless whiteness. Ouyang Xiu once wrote a poem praising Qionghua: Qionghua Peony has nothing to do with the world, and I will complain even if I don't write a poem; I was drunk in Wushuangting, and I knew that Guangling Spring was not my responsibility. This poem not only praises the beauty of Qionghua, but also emphasizes that Qionghua is unique to Yangzhou. Since then, Qionghua is not only famous in the world, but also closely related to the rise and fall of Yangzhou ancient city. 1998, Qionghua was selected as Yangzhou Flower.

Qionghua legend

According to legend, Qionghua was originally the younger sister of Yang Di Yang Guang, and later grew into a stunning beauty in the palace. At the age of fifteen, in midsummer, he bathed in the forbidden garden and the imperial pool. Emperor Yang Di, who was worse than animals, took off his sister's underwear, regardless of the shame of his family, and pounced on Qionghua like a naked wolf. Qionghua is pure and clear, strong-willed, till death do us part. The rape of Emperor Yang Di did not show. Poor Qionghuayu was surprised and ashamed. Since then, I have never touched water or rice, and I can't afford to lie in bed. Mother told the doctor too much to take medicine, but Qionghua kept her mouth shut and her condition became more and more serious. Mother had no choice but to take Qionghua to the Luo Temple to ask for God's blessing.

Qionghua committed suicide by throwing herself into the water while people were unprepared. When the jade meteorite was sold, the dark clouds rose sharply and the rain poured down. The rough waves pushed it to the Yellow River and the Grand Canal, and it drifted to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, ending on the beach next to Houtu Temple. The monk of Houtu Temple was merciful, took the jade spirit and buried it behind the temple. The grave soil is fragrant, and nameless strange trees have sprung up. In an instant, the leaves are lush, the buds are blooming, and the huge and strange flowers are white and crystal clear, like frost and snow. In particular, the soaring fragrance rippled and enveloped the whole Yangzhou city! At that time, people who shocked the whole city watched it together and were amazed. The incense in Houtu Temple has never been so strong. This is Qionghua's thanks to the kindness and kindness of the monks in Houtu Temple!

Yangzhou local officials learned of this matter and reported it to Yang Di. Yang Di quickly made a painting boat, took concubines and beautiful women, drifted with the tide, and went to Yangzhou day and night to enjoy flowers. Unexpectedly, when the animal-like Emperor Yang Di arrived at Qionghua's tomb in Houtu Temple, the strange flowers and plants all over the tree suddenly withered, and the gloomy air conditioning went straight into the bone marrow. In the dim light, I saw Qionghua standing on the cloud and glaring. Yang Di was stunned when he knew he was guilty. He subconsciously shouted: Qionghua! Qionghua! The name of Qionghua came from this. At that time, Emperor Yang Di was blind and bleeding, and died in Yangzhou soon.

Later, the Jin people plundered Qionghua and planted it in the imperial garden, but it always withered and did not grow, just like a piece of wood. However, after the Houtu Temple in Yangzhou was stolen, after a night of thunderstorm, Lingmiao broke through the ground and came back from the dead, still blooming and fragrant. Song Renzong once moved the Qionghua tree in Houtu Temple to the Forbidden Park, and it died like firewood in less than a year. Return to Yangzhou and immediately resurrect! All these can be seen that Qionghua is born with beauty, proud figure, disdainful of powerful people and pure as jade!
