In May of the lunar calendar, Liu Hua is the most beautiful, and the "Liu Yue" corresponding to Liu Hua has become the core monument month in my life.
There are countless flowers, colorful and beautiful. It is summer now, which may be Liu Hua's unique personality or her initial fate.
Liu Hua is burning.
Spring passed and summer flowers began to bloom. In the silent summer flowers, pomegranate flowers are the most enchanting and dazzling beauty of the branches. Look at the small farmhouses, big and small, and the bustling city gardens. Among the colorful flowers, the pomegranate tree flowers are so green, so warm and heroic that after leaving my hometown for decades, I still feel burning and vivid when I think of them.
Liu Hua has a long flowering period and bright colors. Although it is a summer flower, it can be described as a fairy on earth, but it is always regrettable to mention it.
"It's a pity that this big tree was uprooted by the Korean minister in the imperial court. Just because it is late, the flowers are not as good as spring. " The origin of pomegranate tree has nothing to do with flowers, but Kong Shaoan, a poet in Sui Dynasty, said in Ode to Pomegranate that pomegranate came with Zhang Qian, the envoy of Han Dynasty. Because of the long distance and time, it was May of the lunar calendar when I moved from the western regions to the Central Plains, and I failed to catch up with the spring when a hundred flowers bloomed.
"Jade bureau song residual, jinling, negative but windy year after year. I am gentle and graceful in the west and feel sorry for my family. In the past, the shade contained wine, and the color of the branches was the same as that of the dance skirt. Why do you need to plan, wax beads are pedicels and colorful ... After the west wind, there are still some points, which is better than spring. " Coincidentally, in Qing Qing Liu Hua, the king of the Song Dynasty borrowed many poems about it from his predecessors, and added a little dye to present the amorous feelings to people, and also blended the sadness into the fresh aesthetic feeling.
In my mind, pomegranate tree is the messenger of beauty, the closest and closest genealogy to human beings, and pomegranate flowers and fruits are the fruits of people's families. Of course, it is more intimate and unique with Liu Shu to designate Liuhua as the ancient capital of the city flower. Xi 'an came from the depths of its prosperous history and accumulated profound and rich culture for the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty. So far, there are many different stories about durian and ancient cities, durian and celebrities. It is not easy to live in a big place in Chang 'an, and it is not easy for Liu Hua to be beautiful alone. As a city flower admired by thousands of people, it must have its own advantages. It is understood that in addition to Xi, Hefei, Huangshi, Shiyan, Lianyungang and other cities regard Liu Hua as the city flower. The region is spread all over the country, including ancient capitals and new towns, which shows how extraordinary the status and influence of Liu Hua is.
It is not easy to get along with people at home, so willow has the noble qualities of maturity, beauty, dedication of flowers and fruits, homology of medicine and food, and good luck. There is also a high wisdom of flexibility, success, forbearance, and good flowers and fruits. Willow temperament elegant, not vulgar, not flattering, not publicity, not prickly, not numerous flowers, the result is sour and sweet. Liu Hua is often attached to the young hostess's hair, which is in harmony with the flowers. Of course, pomegranate trees also have temper, which is not only difficult to grow, but also difficult to live. It is not uncommon that some seeds are extremely sour and only bloom without fruit.
Flowers are flowers, flowers are not flowers. When flowers meet nature, society and human beings, there will be natural Liu Hua, social Liu Hua and humanistic Liu Hua. Liu Hua is an extraordinary thing, but like people, it can't escape its own destiny.
I don't believe in life, even less when I was in high school forty years ago. At that time, manuscripts were secretly circulated among students, such as Plum Blossom Archives, Ye Fei's Three Visits to the South of the Yangtze River, and An Embroidered Shoe. I came across a manuscript of literary life, which was a few pages thin and easy to understand. When you borrow it, you are attracted tightly and keep it in mind. Pomegranate flower was born in May and is expected to become a writer in the future.
Times are changing and life is robbing. Now, standing on the other side of knowing destiny, examining and questioning, many mysteries will come out. The connection between the core monument of life and flowers tells the fate of fate. In the long river of life, many things are always "good things are grinded" or "great things become late", but in the end most of them are forged into needles through unremitting efforts. Does it conform to "Liu Hua life"?
Xia Feng is warm, everything is flourishing, and summer nights are quiet. Calm down, face each other at close range, and meet Liu Hua. At this moment, what will I think, away from all the hustle and bustle, away from the workload, away from daily troubles? Is it the distant hometown of Yangliu, the Millennium historical situation, the leisurely and visible Nanshan, or your own half-life vicissitudes? The moonlight is like water, and the color is attractive. At this moment, I just want to let go of everything, let go of myself, enjoy durian, enjoy nature and make summer nights quiet.
Liu Hua fireworks
It has a long history and accumulated culture. Liu Hua blooms in a long history, accumulating a lot of historical culture and enriching the unique fireworks culture.
Pomegranate with beautiful flowers and fruits is endowed with symbolic and cultural significance, from red buds in bud, blooming like fire, to hidden beads and broad smiles, because "thousands of families share the same film, thousands of children are like one", which shows the close unity, prosperous population and the prosperity of the country. Pomegranate has long been a native flower and fruit.
Grandma likes pomegranate. Grandma was born in Xuan Tong in the late Qing Dynasty. She married her grandfather at the age of 16 and lived in a blue brick house left over from the Ming Dynasty. The yard is not big. Behind the blue brick screen, an adult pomegranate tree is flourishing and full of vitality. Its crown occupies almost half of the yard. At that time, Grandma Cardamom was tall and young, and naturally loved the fiery pomegranate flowers.
Personal destiny is always closely linked with the times. Grandma was born in troubled times, warlords became independent, Wang Gang collapsed, and her national strength declined. She went through the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the Republic of China from weak to strong. In the long years of the whole century, the wind and rain are like a rock, and the world is full of disasters. Grandma, like a young pomegranate tree in the yard, has experienced ups and downs and vicissitudes with the troubled nation. When I was young, my country was poor. I was forced to bind my feet and grew up in hunger and panic. When I was a child, there were frequent wars, and old robbers, cavalry and foreign devils harassed me in turn. Famine, war, natural disasters and man-made disasters alternate. ...
In the barren years, everything is sad. From a teenage girl to a centenarian, grandma has been worried about the pomegranate tree in the hospital with hope. In spring, the leaves of deep durian are full of vitality. The new branches pressed last year have taken root and sprouted, becoming big trees, which can always win diplomatic achievements and praise.
It is said that pomegranate has its own personality, and it is difficult to transplant it, which is also in line with the culture and personality of China people who can't leave their native land. The saplings donated by grandma have lush roots and should bring a group of local people. Most of them come down and live, growing vigorously. I don't know if grandma knows the ancient customs of "Liu", "Liu Bie" and "Liu Bie", but grandma knows how to give away saplings with mud, so that she won't be acclimatized and miss her birthplace and the original owner's home like a child.
Enjoy the flowers and eat the fruit, kill two birds with one stone, this is what farmers want. In southern Hebei, almost every household plants pomegranate trees in the yard. When pomegranate blossoms in summer, every family is lush and full of vitality. Under the pomegranate tree, surrounded by children, accompanied by chickens and dogs, laughing and laughing, the yard is brightly lit and the scene of fireworks is enviable.
Summer came, pomegranate bloomed for the second time, and bees and butterflies separated. Grandma pressed the new buds of roots into the soil, watered them and pressed the ancient tiles to cultivate new saplings for relatives and neighbors. At the same time, she carefully picked off the flowers that only bloom and bear no fruit on the big tree, trying to ensure the flowers that both bloom and bear fruit. Grandpa caught some slugs from the ground and scattered them on the pomegranate tree. Crisp chirping came and went until late autumn, adding infinite interest to the plain life.
Autumn is coming, and the fruits are numerous. I am looking forward to another bumper harvest year. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, pomegranates are red. Some pomegranates hang down in the yard and reach for them. Grandma who tied the steamed bun into a "Tang Tui Niu" showed a strong sense of responsibility and vigilance, and hung the branches high with a rope for fear of "eating monkeys" to steal food. The branches hang high in the sun, and the fruits are huge and mature early. Some of them burst their mouths and were pecked by birds. Grandma asked me to bring a ladder and choose it first, and give it to the greedy children. Crystal-clear pomegranate seeds, such as agate and Pearl Buck, shine with charming jewels. The sweet and sour taste, like nectar, satisfies children's tender and sensitive taste buds. Children's childish laughter, happy smiles and the rare happiness of the family make people feel infinite gratitude and hope for the fruitful branches.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the ripe fruits don't hang. Grandma asked me to unload the fruits, sort them by size and give them to everyone in piles. Her share is always carefully screened and pressed under the wooden box. My aunt's and my aunt's children came and shared them generously, rarely wanting to eat one. When mother takes back the fruit, she will give everyone one. She will pick the cracked pomegranate and break off a symbolic piece to taste.
Grandpa died young, and grandma raised a man and a woman for the Hao family until our generation prospered. 1in the spring of 997, a hundred years later, the old garden was deserted. A rusty iron lock guarded the street gate, and the desolate grassland became the owner of the courtyard. The lush pomegranate trees are getting older every year and rarely bloom.
A flower and a world, a leaf and a bodhi. Pomegranate tree witnessed the hundred-year history of the Hao family, and confirmed the relationship between the prosperity of genealogy, the prosperity of the times and the prosperity of population.
Liuhua gas flow
Pomegranate was introduced from the western regions and is a strange fruit. It is rare and noble. At the beginning, it was only for the enjoyment of the royal family and relatives. Later, after the change of dynasties, they went to heaven and went to the thatched cottage, which spread widely. Just like the Xing porcelain fired in Lincheng, my hometown, although it is "like Yin Xue", "everything in the world is not universal", and it has finally become the favorite of ordinary people. Yuan Zhen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Pomegranate Twenty Rhymes": "When did Wanli pay tribute to Liu Hua during the Anshi Rebellion? The source of Guanhe River, because it was made in Korea. Bitterness and bitterness make a green ridge, and haggard involves dragon sand. It's better to arrive at a sparse wood at first than to be in chaos. Deep in the homeland, there are few noble families ... "It is the history of pomegranate status evolution.
Pomegranate has been romantic since ancient times. Pomegranate is elegant and beautiful, and pomegranate flowers are affectionate and eye-catching. There are many examples of romance, and the typical one is the story of Yang Guifei and Pomegranate, a beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty. Hong Zaji said that Yang Guifei planted pomegranate on Mount Li. In the prosperous times, the beauty of pomegranate flowers provoked the elegant Yang Guifei to embroider pomegranate flowers on her skirt, which made ministers have to bow to her pomegranate skirt under the imperial edict of Emperor Tang Ming. At that time, the rich peony was positioned as the national flower, but the absolutely charming Yang Guifei loved pomegranate flowers. Pomegranate skirt once became the fashion of young women in Tang Dynasty.
The magic of Silk Road, the migration of pomegranate and the exquisiteness of porcelain have made many immortal legends in China and the Western Regions. Today, pomegranate has long been localized, not exotic flowers and trees, but after all, it comes from the western regions, with bright and charming colors and faint and moving flowers, and still has brilliant and beautiful talents. Look at the pomegranate flowers all over the tree, just like a half-blood beauty who returned from studying abroad. Her skin color is yellow, China is red, her nepotism is light, her makeup is heavy, her eyes are white, she is elegant and distinguished, and she is a unique style of combining Chinese and Western.
Time is like a play. The past and the future are the essence left on the stage. Pomegranate experienced the Silk Road and the prosperous times of Han and Tang Dynasties, which naturally showed the romantic trend of the times. Since ancient times, beautiful women are romantic. When beautiful women and skirts meet pomegranate flowers, pomegranate flowers are endowed with unique enchanting romantic feelings.
Some people say that peach blossoms set each other off, and peach blossoms are the most representative flowers for women. The reason is that men want to hit the "peach blossom luck" in their dreams. In fact, wherever peach blossoms have the charm of "pomegranate skirt", men take the initiative to prostrate themselves after being fascinated, even Emperor Huang Ming of the Tang Dynasty is no exception. Besides, it is not a good thing or a good reputation for a woman to have peach blossom disease.
Pomegranate in the western regions, along the Silk Road of that year, went all the way west to northern Europe, where it was a custom for brides to wear pomegranate flowers when they got married for thousands of years. It can be seen that everyone has a love for beauty. When Liu Hua meets a beautiful woman, she becomes a perfect match in the world.
Beauty loves flowers, but in traditional culture, Zhong Kui, the ghost king, loves pomegranate flowers. Zhong Kui is ugly, but in his artistic image, there is always a purplish pomegranate in his ear. Because Zhong Kui, who exorcises ghosts and evil spirits, not only has a strong hatred of evil, but also has a heart as warm as fire, and is also regarded as an extraordinary pomegranate flower god by the world.
Liu Hua's poems
In summer, flowers wither and pomegranate branches bloom. Liu Hua is beautiful. It was introduced from the Han Dynasty, inherited the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and is full of poetry.
Looking at the scenery in front of me, I feel very poetic. I don't know why, but I always feel that Liu Hua should be in the ancient Book of Songs. Unfortunately, pomegranate, as a foreigner introduced by Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty, entered the Central Plains late in China, even though it was established only one year ago, and it missed the Book of Songs for more than 400 years. My hometown Lincheng, located in the southwest of Hebei Province, should be in the same period as pomegranate stayed in the Central Plains when the county was established in the Western Han Dynasty. Of course, at that time, my ancestors were not from southern Hebei, and they probably lived in Longxi or Longnan, and it was impossible to predict that their descendants would move here in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Wang Mang usurped power and sent troops to kill Liu Xiu. In Lincheng area, the game of cat and mouse is going on crazily, leaving countless legends, which greatly enriched the local history and folk culture. At that time, the pomegranate tree, which had lived in the Central Plains for more than 100 years, did not know whether it had entered the people and witnessed that wonderful history. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the replacement of civil strife in the Han Dynasty that the palace "sparse wood" went out of the palace and stayed in the people, which is unknown.
In the long river of years, pomegranate flowers and fruits are beautiful, bright purples, rich in nutrition, unique in medicinal properties and widely planted. It is cultivated in temperate and tropical regions all over the world, but it has received the most praise and the richest meaning in China. Poetry and distance are people's eternal pursuits. Pomegranate culture has long been integrated with the profound China culture, which is inseparable and constantly carried forward.
On the stage of years, Liu Hua missed the Book of Songs, but caught up with the poetry prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Because pomegranate has infinite imagination space and diverse cultural attributes, pomegranate flowers have attracted the attention of scholars and touched the hearts of poets in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and many praise stories have emerged one after another.
Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, said, "In Liu Hua in May, the sun is shining brightly and the leaves are flourishing. You will see a child. Unfortunately, there are no horses and chariots here, and the moss is upside down. " Liu Hua is dazzling, with weak branches and flowering fruits. The moss is mottled and colorful, but it is gratifying that there are no horses and chariots to crush the red mud, and the petals are piled up.
Zhang Hongfan, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, said, "Whoever teaches scarlet blood to dye scarlet capsules, Lv Yun heaps them up to make them fragrant. Bees mistakenly set the branches on fire and rushed through the low wall. " The green leaves are like clouds, and the flowers are overflowing, which attracts bees to collect honey. But when they saw the wax-red flowers, they mistakenly thought they were flames, and they fled with the wind.
Du Mu, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, said: "Pomegranate is like a fire reflecting a mountain, which can be colorful in its complexity and leisure in its leisure. On a beautiful Hosta, I only doubt that it will burn the clouds green. " Liu Hua is like a fire, gorgeous as a sunset, a girl who loves spring, and a farewell to Liu Hua have made the years beautiful, Shan Ye beautiful and herself beautiful. It's really beautiful. Du Mu looked at the dreamy red flowers for fear of igniting the girl's temples.
Poems in the prosperous times, excellent works of talented people, moistened life, poetized life and enriched history through singing, leaving behind poetry treasures and unlimited imagination space for future generations.
Poets and writers praise pomegranates, and painters are naturally unwilling to lag behind, and there are many pomegranates in their works. Pictures such as "Liu Kaibaizi" and "Many children are blessed" are not only the standard of Chinese weddings, but also the sought after objects of art collectors and even the people. Flower and bird painting is almost inseparable from pomegranate. Far away, modern great painters Qi Baishi, Wu Changshuo and Pan Tianshou all like to paint pomegranates, leaving many masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. A picture of flowers, birds and pomegranates collected by contemporary artists has a simple composition, a poor title, branches sticking out, pomegranates laughing and cracking, and a bird is independent, occupying all autumn colors, which is quite Buddhist. I like it very much and cherish it very much. I seldom show my appreciation and keep it a secret from others. In Chinese painting, the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits of pomegranate are all Buddhist, so traditional freehand brushwork painting will give people great artistic enjoyment. If matched with auspicious patterns such as birds, bees and butterflies, it will be more meaningful, nourishing and beautiful.
Pomegranate has settled in China for thousands of years. It not only brings beautiful scenery and delicious food to people, but also adds infinite poetry to life, which inspires, enriches and sublimates people's romantic feelings and continues. ...
Liu Hua Liu Ming
Let a hundred flowers blossom, each in its own season, and pomegranate flowers are in the heart of summer, which is in line with destiny. In the same month as pomegranate flowers blooming against the fire, there are fragrant gardenias and beautiful azaleas, all of which are famous flowers with their own modality, and they all interpret the fortune of life in their own unique ways. As the Indian poet Tagore said, "Life is as beautiful as summer flowers and death is as beautiful as autumn leaves".
China's culture is so profound and mysterious. When people are born, they have the corresponding life core monument moon and life core monument flower, which shows the luck of life. People in China designate different flowers as flowers month by month, so ordinary days are less wasteful and more beautiful. This is the culture and wisdom of China people, as well as the taste and romance of China people.
When a flower binds a person and indicates his character fortune, the flower and these people will be wonderfully and strangely linked and interact with each other, which will have a potential, lasting and profound impact.
The Year of the Rabbit of Guimao is a Sunday in July 1963. Like the pomegranate tree that came to the Central Plains late, I am dying in a mountain village in southern Hebei this season. It was the fourth hour, and my young mother was in trouble. It was my birthday. No one knows which month is pomegranate month. The southwest of Hebei lies in the south of Yan and the north of Zhao. It is a famous place where Han Xin, a famous Chu-Han star, won a great victory in the last battle of Bahe River. It is also the hometown of Li Chun, the famous builder of Zhao Zhouqiao in Sui Dynasty. It has a long history and outstanding people. At this time, it is the summer of planting wheat in autumn and harvesting and frying. It is the summer when the heat is unbearable and the summer rain is continuous.
It is said that when the situation changed, major events happened in the world, such as the open debate between China and the Soviet Union and the assassination of Kennedy in the United States, but it really had nothing to do with me who was still ignorant at that time. What is relevant is that the weather was abnormal that summer. On August 2, half a month after my death, Tianhe fell, and it rained heavily for seven days and seven nights, causing floods in many areas and making Wang Yang Zeguo. As the ancient book says, May in the Year of the Rabbit is a bitter month. May rabbit, bad karma. My father told me that after the heavy rain, I would have a full moon. It was near noon that day and the weather was fine. On the screen wall under the pomegranate tree in the hospital for a hundred years, many cauliflower snake come out to bask in the sun, which is very rare.
A gentleman is famous for not telling fortune. At that time, my generation was too miserable to accept my fate. Are we happy or happy? Living in poverty, he refused to bow to fate. This is a struggle, from mountain villages to campuses, military camps, local organs, from pens and guns to computer keyboards. Full of hardships, ups and downs, self-pity, narcissism, conceit, and finally in middle age, complacent and mediocre. Over the past decades, from newborn calves to old horses, from weak national strength to strong country, from constant struggle to indifference to everything, through hardships and hardships, youth gradually faded, constantly defeated, surpassed and improved itself, and entered the aging model through changes and vicissitudes of the times.
As the saying goes, three days is destined to be seven points hard. But inadvertently, the developed network told me that 1963 belongs to the year of Guimao in the lunar calendar, and the five elements of gold foil sing together, so it is the life of the water rabbit. The water rabbit has a gentle personality, rich feelings, strong adaptability to the environment, is not good at expressing, is willing to take things as they are, and is easy to get satisfaction. Heroes are generous, worried, and have no outstanding talents and lofty ambitions, but their efforts have a future. Some people say that it is the life of pine and cypress, and the villain is a great obstacle, especially in key promotions or business contracts, it is difficult to make great progress in my career. Wait a minute. Amitabha, thank god, no one can choose to be born. Fortunately, I didn't know about it earlier, otherwise, it might have an impact on my life.
In May, pomegranate blossoms are red, not as blooming as in spring. Is Liu Hua's wealth really "slow" and "old slow"? With the growth of my experience, I gradually realized that this culture is limited to regional culture, but in fact, flowers are closely related to climate, environment and tree species.
"In April, the world is beautiful everywhere, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple." Well-known ancient poems and sentences explain the differences between climate and flowers from the perspective of region and altitude.
"Sandstorm all the way, some people walk but no one walks. In early winter, not in front of the ice, in spring, you can't see peaches and plums. " I have served in the rugged plateau outside the Great Wall for 16 years, and I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers there. The environment and climate are harsh, the vegetation is scarce, and the flowering period is even later.
In midsummer, Liu Hua is quietly red and green branches are like fire. After crossing the threshold of the "Double Five-Year Plan" at the age of 55, looking back at the past years, youth is fading, the world of mortals is getting old, but my heart likes summer flowers and my eyes are full of pomegranate flowers.
Liu Hua is like fiery red, which illuminates the core monument of summer, life and countless Liu Yue lives.
