Pears, deciduous trees, white flowers. Therefore, the ancients described the ice hanging on the tree as "like a strong wind in spring, which blows at night and blows open the petals of ten thousand pear trees." Pear fruit can be used as both food and medicine, and has the functions of moistening lung, resolving phlegm and reducing fire. Pear has a long history of cultivation in China, which was recorded in the ancient books Zhuangzi, Han Feizi and Er Ya in the pre-Qin period. By the Han Dynasty, large-scale pear orchards appeared in China, and many excellent varieties were cultivated. In the 2nd century, pears were introduced from China to India, Persia and other places. In Sanskrit, pear is called "Prince of Qin Dynasty", which means China.
Pears can not only be eaten raw, but also made into pear juice and pear paste. Pear paste is a good medicine for expelling wind and clearing heat, dispersing lung and relieving cough. It is said that it was invented by Wei Zhi, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Wei Zhi was not only loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but also a mirror of Emperor Taizong. He was praised for honoring his parents. His mother caught a cold and refused to take the medicine because of its bitter taste. Once when he went out, he happened to see a pear tree, remembering that 0 usually likes pears best, so he went home and fried the medicine into a paste and gave it to 0. It really works. Later generations copied it one after another, and doctors carefully prepared it, which became the "pear milk candy" circulated in later generations.
There are many things related to pears. In the old days, the troupe was called "Liyuan", the actors were called "Liyuan Disciples" and the opera circle was called "Liyuan Circle". The emblem of the traditional Chinese opera competition reads "Liyuan Spring", which is related to Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, commonly known as Tang. He selected 300 musicians to play "Fa Qu" in the Palace Liyuan, and personally directed them, calling them "disciples of the Emperor Liyuan". It is not surprising that the drama world respects Tang as the grandfather.
