China's orchid culture combines the connotations of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. The outer three petals of "Song Mei" are tight and round, green and waxy, with prominent white edges, thin roots, pointed round ends, flat shoulders, silkworms hugging and bangs. The outer wheel of the middle palace is round and straight, and the flowers are flat or out of the box. Bract leaves are reddish, "with three-color green shells", with stamens facing up and turning with flowering. The color is green and beautiful, and the flower shape remains unchanged for a long time. Fragrant and unique in style, it is the representative of individual flowers and contains the essence of orchid culture in China. It entrusts people's pursuit of perfection, purity and ideal.
First of all, we should thank Song, a senior artist. Song is a native of Shaoxing Songjiadian, dealing in tea and cotton cloth. Shaoxing is a place with many historical sites and talented people. Jianshui in Jishan, Cheng Xiong in Gu Yue, Shenyuan Yunwei, Yin Shan Road, Lanting in the rain, restaurants, teahouses, and San Tan Yin Yue all exude a strong cultural atmosphere. Shaoxing is famous for its "gathering of celebrities", and Dayu has made great achievements in water control; Gou Jian, the king of Yue, tried to eat and drink; Wang Xizhi, a book sage, Lu Fangweng, a patriotic poet, Qiu Jin, a heroine, Cai Yuanpei, a great scholar, Lu Xun and Zhou Enlai ... there are countless talented people who are admirable. Song Jinxuan is also an immortal of Qilin Pavilion in Shaoxing and even in the history of orchid culture in China.
Legend has it that "the flower fairy came to dream in the middle of the night, and Song stumbled", which is widely circulated among the people. "Song Mei" is said to be produced in Shaoxing Huiji Mountain, which is a part of Siming Mountain range, formerly known as Maoshan Mountain, also known as Miaoshan Mountain. According to legend, Dayu succeeded in controlling water, and traveled to Miaoshan to gather princes and reward merits. It is said that there are more than 300 kinds of orchids in Shaoxing in history. Siming Mountain is a famous place where Lan Jiahui emerges one after another. Only this kind of Lingshan Xiushui can breed such fine varieties as "Song Mei". Jin Song Xuanmei is also known as Song Mei and Jin Xuan. Among the traditional famous products, there is the famous "Golden Saixuan", which is actually "Longan Mei". This was chosen by Zhu in Shaoxing in the early years of the Republic of China. The outer three petals are short and round, with a semi-hard back, a small bangs tongue with dark red spots and shoulders. Flowers are of high quality. The leaves are semi-drooping, sunny and not easy to flower. It belongs to one of the eight species of orchids. There is also a kind of "Red Song Mei", whose name is similar, but it is actually "Red Moon Plum"; 1984 Shaoxing Tang Di Xu Yuehong dug it in Yapu, Zhenhai, and later sold it to Jin Dingxian and Zhu Jianhua, that is, Red Song Mei. Features: the outer three petals have round roots, tight edges, thick petals and green color. Silkworm moth holding, wishful tongue, red and purple tongue root. Shoulder level and flowers straight.
"Song Mei" and "Dragon" are two treasures of the country, orchids; It is the first of the four famous orchids and the four heavenly kings. Throughout the ages, Yilan has always been respected by everyone. The modern orchid works are introduced in detail. In Huiji Mountain in Shaoxing, China, there is a small village with 40 to 50 families. Because everyone in the village is surnamed Song, this village is called Songjiadian. According to legend, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a businessman named Song in the village. He shipped Shaoxing tea and mountain products to Hangzhou and Suzhou to sell, and returned to Shaoxing to sell small commodities such as bibcock and fine cloth. Due to the smooth business, in ten years, he gradually expanded from a small business to a big business businessman and became a well-known local rich man.
Although Song is a rich man, he was born in poverty, so he always sympathizes with those villagers who have difficulties in life. He takes out some money and food to help them from time to time, and he will never get into the habit of smoking and drinking. He still lives a simple life and enjoys himself. Only orchids and orchids have become the biggest hobbies in his life. He often spends a lot of money to get a good orchid. His home is in the mountainous area, so let's cut to the chase. Orchids grow in the mountains. In spring, whenever he is free, he always takes a hoe and carries a bamboo basket up the mountain to pick orchids. However, after decades of hard work, he failed to meet a good bluegrass. He often suffers from this, but he is still not discouraged and believes that this day will come.
One year, after the Lantern Festival, the earth gradually showed warmth, and tea trees began to spit out new green. In the evening, Song lay alone in bed, thinking of orchids again. He said to himself, "There are orchids everywhere, but how can it be so difficult to find a good one?" Am I really a monkey fishing for the moon in water? "Thinking about it, he yawned several times in succession and fell asleep in a daze ... suddenly! He met an old woman with gray hair, wearing a dress with beveled edges and jade buttons on her hands, about sixty years old. He led a 15-year-old girl to him, bowed politely to him and said, "This girl is my neighbor, without father or mother, and she has no one to live on. I know that my husband sympathizes with the sufferings of others and is charitable, so I want to bring my children to my husband to be handmaiden, just asking for food and clothing. " After that, the old lady's face showed a look of prayer, waiting for Song's answer. Song looked at the little girl carefully. Although she is in rags, her long round face and beautiful eyes are straight. She is really beautiful. She can't help feeling a little sad. He immediately nodded and said, "My mother-in-law said that I am also from a poor family, helping the poor and helping the poor, and helping the neighbors. This is an old saying in my hometown. Take her as my adopted daughter! Please rest assured. " The old lady left the little girl and kowtowed again and again, thanking her. Song also politely sent the old lady to the door to say goodbye ... The thunder of spring thunder woke Song, and after a pause, he realized that what had just happened was a dream. He was so absorbed in the dream that he couldn't sleep for a while.
A few days later, on a warm afternoon, Song went up the mountain to look for orchids. He knows that orchids mostly grow on shady slopes. Although he found many orchids along the way, they were all flowers with thin buds, light clothes, narrow leaves and deep buds. Had to continue to climb one mountain after another. In the mountains, the spring breeze blows on the face, and the birds sing softly, adding a bit of quiet atmosphere. Song Jin Xuan was interested in finding orchids. When he looked up, the horizon was red and the west was oblique. He dragged his tired legs and walked slowly down the hill with some disappointment. Accidentally, my foot tripped over a raised stone on the mountain road and fell on my back. Fortunately, the mountain was gentle and didn't fall too hard. He slowly got up from the ground. Suddenly, I saw a small clump of blue grass growing in the breeze not far away. He feels strange that this place is thin and thin, and bluegrass should not grow. So I took a closer look with some curiosity. As a result, I found that the leaves of bluegrass were thick green and wide in the sunset, shiny, curved piece by piece, soft and rigid, which seemed to be very imposing. Looking carefully, there was a full bud shaped like a lotus seed, and his spirit suddenly perked up. I thought, "I've got nothing for a long time. Now, will it be a good flower? " So, as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, he spat in his hand, clenched his hoe, scraped off the thorns around the orchid first, then carefully dug it out, put it in a basket, hurried down the mountain, took it home and planted it in a clay pot. More than ten days have passed, and orchids are slowly growing and blooming under the warm urging of spring. This flower is taller than orchid leaves, with flat stems and green shoulders. Three petals are light green and firm, and the headband is sharp. Along the edge of the outer three petals, there is a circle of white lines like strokes. Silkworm moth holds a bangs tongue, which is integrated with a wide concave leaf shape with blunt ends. It is as elegant as a girl. Anna is colorful. Song knows that this flower is really the best among plum petals. If he gets the treasure, he will be extremely happy. He watches it in the morning and at noon: he watches it during the day and under the lamp at night, but he still feels that he can't see enough. Suddenly he remembered the dream half a month ago, and he always felt a little strange ... "Oh"! It suddenly dawned on him that the leaves and flowers of this orchid are so lovely. Isn't it the little girl I saw in my dream?
From then on, Song cultivated this orchid more carefully, making it thrive, and named it "Song Mei" after his own surname. Over the past two hundred years, orchid growers and orchid gatherers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have discovered many new varieties of plum petals, but they are always dwarfed by those in Song Mei. Song Mei is always the reviser of plum blossom petals and a typical representative of plum blossom petals. Song Mei
Yaochi strange grass blooms in Five Blessingg, and it blooms in the spring of a hundred years.
An inch of incense lasts for thousands of generations, and the world praises Song.
Song Mei
Mei Kui appeared in Huiji Mountain, and Jin was planted at the gates of Shaoxing.
Ups and downs for hundreds of years, open and honest.
The fragrance spread to the heart of Qian Shan, and the fragrance of flowers fell to every household.
In my opinion, he looks like grass, but what he sees is the old pot from the Song family.
