Seven poems on spring bamboo shoots in early spring: Countless spring bamboo shoots are growing all over the forest, making long poles to keep the spring bamboo shoots
The Beginning of Spring solar term and the rain solar term in early spring are the initial stages of sprouting of spring bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are the buds on the underground stems of bamboo. Those hidden in the soil in winter are called winter bamboo shoots, and those that break out of the soil after the beginning of spring are called spring bamboo shoots.
People have discovered the edible value of bamboo shoots in ancient times. Bamboo shoots were included in the sacrificial foods of the Zhou Dynasty, and they have become a famous mountain delicacy.
So does digging and eating bamboo shoots have any impact on bamboo?
Usually winter bamboo shoots are buried in the soil. Although they are small buds of bamboo that grow out of the earth's atmosphere, they often break out of the soil in winter and cannot tolerate the low temperature and severe cold on the ground. They often freeze to death. Therefore, digging winter bamboo shoots will have little impact on bamboo. Moreover, the winter bamboo shoots buried shallowly on the surface have also become overwintering animals and the best winter food.
As for the bamboo shoots in early spring, because the temperature and rain are relatively sufficient, they can easily sprout after a spring rain and form a spectacular bamboo forest. The bamboo shoots at this time can certainly grow into bamboo. However, because they are numerous and dense, and the most abundant spring rainy season suitable for the growth of bamboo shoots has not yet arrived, the bamboo shoots at this time are suitable for digging and eating. On the one hand, the nutrients of the bamboo forest are not consumed by too many bamboo shoots. On the other hand, , you can wait until the bamboo shoots appear in mid-spring and choose strong ones to keep, which is beneficial to the management and growth of the bamboo forest.
Therefore, not only can you eat the bamboo shoots in early spring, but you also need to dig them up quickly.
Because we have heard of the idiom mushrooming after a rain. The bamboo shoots in early spring are numerous and strong. The spectacular sight of them breaking out of the ground makes people feel the vitality of bamboo in spring.
"Countless spring bamboo shoots are growing all over the forest, and the firewood gate is densely blocked to block the pedestrians.
I have to go to the meeting to look at the bamboos, and I will never be angry when the guests arrive." Three Quatrains of Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty ?The third one? Spring Bamboo Shoots?
The 50-year-old Du Fu was in Du Fu's Thatched Cottage in the early spring of this year. After a spring rain in the nearby bamboo forest, countless spring bamboo shoots sprouted. Modern people yearn for Du Fu's thatched cottage life, but in reality it is not that beautiful. In order to escape the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu came to Sichuan with his family and children. He was basically at the end of his rope. With the help of his friends, he built a thatched cottage, which was just a place to live. He worked as an aide, with a limited salary, and was not at home all year round. , his wife and children lived on a limited salary, and were extremely poor. He had no choice but to open up wasteland and farm the land when he returned home. Even so, the family was often hungry and full.
Last autumn, a local hurricane swept away the thatch that protected the huts from the wind and rain. Presumably, this thatch was also a rare local building material. The local people picked up bundles and took them home, and they did not Give it back to him, the strong wind followed by the heavy rain. Poor Du Fu must have been frugal and borrowed money from everywhere to repair the roof.
What I am talking about is why Du Fu refused his friends' visits for the sake of bamboo shoots and was impatient to welcome them.
This bamboo forest is next to Du Fu's thatched cottage, either naturally occurring, or he planted it and it has become a forest. At this time, after the spring rain, countless bamboo shoots grew. He did not do it to see the bamboo shoots, but because the bamboo shoots could provide household food.
He must dig them out as soon as possible, otherwise the bamboo shoots will grow very fast and may not be edible in a day or two. Moreover, the bamboo shoots are too dense and it is impossible to obtain good bamboo shoots, so he must dig them out as soon as possible. Most of the bamboo shoots are dug out, and some bamboo shoots are selectively retained.
Judging from the available information, Du Fu could not afford servants, and he was the main labor force in the family.
So during this period, he worked very hard, thinking about the bamboo forest, and feeling tired and helpless about the visiting guests, because socializing took time, and the survival of their family, But they have to rely on this bamboo forest to survive. This is the bottom line of sourness and embarrassment.
He simply closed the door and allowed the guests to come without responding or greeting them.
Because at this time he was holding a hoe and digging bamboo shoots. While digging bamboo shoots, he was studying which ones should be kept. Bamboo forest management is both physical and intellectual work. Probably all the movements outside are not important to Du Fu.
Moreover, being among the bamboo forests and spring bamboo shoots, he naturally had the pleasure of working. Looking at the countless spring bamboo shoots around him gave him unlimited hope for survival and future.
Du Fu also knows that the first spring bamboo shoots at the beginning of spring are the sweetest and freshest. If the bamboo forest is big enough, he will get some money from the spring bamboo shoots he gets. Du Fu was a compassionate man, and he did not want his wife and children to accompany him through hardships like this.
He must be tired and happy.
"This state is a bamboo town, and the valleys are full of spring bamboo shoots.
The mountain man folded his arms and brought them to the morning market.
Many things are considered cheap. Two coins are easy to make as a bunch.
Place them in the steamer and cook them at the same time as the rice.
The old brocade is made of purple silk, and the new jade is broken into the plain skin. Eat more every day, and don’t think about meat during the meal.
I have been a guest in Jingluo for a long time, and this taste is often insufficient.
Don’t hesitate to eat, the south wind blows the bamboo." Bai Juyi's "Eat Bamboo Shoots?"
Bamboo shoots are a delicacy, especially fresh ones. Not only are they delicious, but they were also inconvenient to transport in the past.
Not every bamboo forest has delicious bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are most delicious in rainy mountain forest areas. But since bamboo shoots are buds of bamboo, in ancient times when preservation technology was backward, the spring bamboo shoots that arrived in the city after layers of transportation losses were put on the tables of dignitaries. In Li Shangyin's words, they were as valuable as gold.
But the mountain people who rely on the mountains to eat are different. Bai Juyi, who likes bamboo shoots, came to Zhuxiang and was extremely happy.
It is the season when spring bamboo shoots fill the valley again. Farmers go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, and they hold a few of them in their chests. They rush to the early market and sell the bamboo shoots they dig for only two yuan each. Most of the food here is cheap, so this is what we usually eat. It is boiled directly in water. When the rice is cooked, the bamboo shoots are also cooked.
Bai Juyi was a person who had seen the world in Luoyang, Chang'an, and knew the attitude towards spring bamboo shoots there.
Because of their high value, the purple clothes of bamboo shoots are called brocade, and the delicate flesh of bamboo shoots is compared to jade-like skin.
But here, not only are everyone accustomed to home-cooked food, but they also wish you could eat more, because if these bamboo shoots are not dug out and eaten, they will grow into small bamboos in a few days, which is not only inedible , and also consume the nutrients of the bamboo forest.
So bamboo shoots are really a selfless gift from the bamboo forest to mankind. The poor are happy and the rich are happy too. With bamboo shoots, the poor will have more food and income, and the rich will have more food and pride.
"New bamboo shoots grow in the east garden, reflecting the sun and piercing the fence again.
They sprout against the green peaks, and there are half-green pools.
The color is due to the forest facing the back. , Traveling from place to place, high and low.
But I am afraid that the spring will be old, and the green will be alone. "Li Qi's "Fence Bamboo Shoots" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty
Don't do too much in the bamboo forest. The management is naturally dense and can provide natural shade. Of course, if you want to obtain high-quality bamboo, you have to dig out many bamboo shoots to prevent the nutrient consumption of bamboo growth.
However, the bamboo forests in the countryside are often in a semi-natural state. Watching the bamboo shoots springing up from the soil and growing into bamboos, many people feel a sense of joy in life.
For example, in the bamboo forest in this poem, the rhizomes grow underground. When the bamboo shoots emerge, they have already passed through the fences on the soil. They are fearless in life and explore the distance.
They have already poked their heads out of the fence, against the green hills and rocks, and beside a pond, many new bamboo shoots have grown.
This poem is not about a bamboo shoot, but about the roots of bamboo, which have extremely strong vitality and expansion power. Those bamboo shoots are all the extended descendants of the big bamboo and are the power of its roots. . A bamboo whip walks like a dragon and sprouts tall bamboo shoots along the terrain.
Moreover, bamboo shoots also have directions, with arcs formed by the terrain. This is why many people see bamboo shoots as curved.
Therefore, the ancients compared bamboo to a dragon, and bamboo shoots are the dragon's grandson, emphasizing the vitality of bamboo.
Bamboo is evergreen all year round, representing nobility and longevity, so it is a poet. Almost all plants are worried about the passing of spring. Only bamboo and bamboo shoots are always green, full of inner tension and vitality.
"Spring comes and the sun is full of bamboo shoots, so I only recommend Meng Guang to eat on a plate.
Although it is a pity to have rhinoceros horns and brocade inscriptions, we must share the benefits of Ziwei Lang." Wang Yucheng's "Play" of the Northern Song Dynasty Looking for bamboo shoots from Fengyang Chief Yu?》
Don’t think that digging bamboo shoots is the life of the mountain people, because bamboo shoots are expensive, and digging bamboo shoots is also the fun of spring, especially in ownerless bamboo forests, that is the best way to dig bamboo shoots This place also gives birth to the process and fun of searching for mountain treasures.
For example, Fengyang is rich in bamboo and bamboo shoots.
The local governor also has his own local style to entertain guests. If you want to dig spring bamboo shoots, you can find the expensive spring bamboo shoots in the city yourself without spending any money.
This mountain village tour won the joy of the scholar-bureaucrats who were imprisoned in the city. It was a favor without any expense. It also satisfied the pastoral desire and included gifts of rare treasures found in the mountains themselves.
Finally, when we arrived at the mountain of spring bamboo shoots, we saw a large area of ??purple bamboo shoots, so spectacular and joyful.
You must know that small and medium-sized families in the city cannot afford this bamboo shoot. Even if it is a big banquet, the whole bamboo shoot must be taken out for everyone to see and verify, to show nobility. But here, it is full of pits and valleys.
Wang Yucheng was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. The purple bamboo shoots he saw reminded him of rhinoceros horns and purple jade robes.
He teased the local magistrate, "You have such a rich treasure, please share some with me."
Although this is a joke, you can also see the joy and shock brought by the spring bamboo shoots in the mountains and forests.
"The clouds are in chaos, and the makeup is worn out in the evening.
The eyebrows are far away with hateful eyebrows.
The spring bamboo shoots are lazy while holding the fragrant cheeks.
< p> For whom are we leaning against the lantern stem with tears? Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, "Tao Lian Zi? Part 2? Spring Hate"There are many varieties of bamboo in the south, and naturally there is a spring bamboo shoot as thin as a finger. .
This poem is not very interesting. The wealthy life of Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was full of delicacies, but it seems that he was the first poet to compare spring bamboo shoots to the fingers of a beautiful woman.
It is precisely because of his metaphor that the fingers are like spring bamboo shoots, it has become a common metaphor and pronoun for beautiful women’s jade hands.
This is extremely common. In ancient poems and articles, we often see beautiful women’s fingers being pointed like spring bamboo shoots.
I think Cao Xueqin couldn't bear it anymore, so she changed the beauty's fingers into green onions.
Actually I can’t bear it, why are you mixing it up with food?
"An old friend called me to go, for a long time of rain brings new sunshine.
The flying squirrel comes out in the darkness of the grass, and the crows sing in the deep mountains.
Half a bowl of porridge in the kitchen , a cup of grass.
Will you come frequently? "Song Dynasty? Lu Benzhong's "Zhaoting Guangjiao Temple?"
This poem is very interesting. In fact, there are only two sentences that attract people's hearts. One is that the long rain meets the new sunshine, and the other is that bamboo shoots spring up in front of the door.
But these two sentences are enough.
A friend lived in the mountains and was very lonely, so he invited him to come over and talk.
There is really nothing too attractive in the mountains. For example, there are weasels and the sound of cuckoos here in spring, but other than that, there is vast loneliness.
Fortunately, the two of them were close friends and had many topics to talk about, so they talked while cooking porridge.
When it was time to leave, my friend was reluctant to leave, and suddenly said, the spring bamboo shoots at the door are ready to eat. Would you like to come over often and eat the bamboo shoots here with me?
If this were me, if I had time, I would definitely laugh.
Spring bamboo shoots are called the king of vegetables. They quench thirst, benefit water channels, open blood vessels and replenish qi, and can be eaten for a long time. They are fairy foods. In the mountains, leisurely cooking spring bamboo shoots, watching the clouds roll in and out, seeing each other with friends, no need to talk much, it is the best relaxation and friendship.
"In the thousand-acre Dragon and Snake Cave in Nanshan, spring thunder rises and bends in the middle of the night.
I want to go to the sea to catch six turtles, so I can make a long pole for the spring bamboo shoots." Northern Song Dynasty·Cai Zhao's "He" Think carefully and send this to Brother Zhang?》
Bamboo is known as the earth dragon. In response to the rain and thunder in spring, those spring bamboo shoots emerge like a dragon raising its head.
Therefore, the thousand-acre bamboo garden is described here as the home of dragons and snakes. The bamboo roots are like dragons, entrenched in the rocks of the mountains and forests.
Waiting for the spring rain and spring thunder to wake it up, there are spring bamboo shoots everywhere, which are the scales and claws of the dragon about to take off, and are already showing vitality.
Since bamboo has such strong vitality, we must leave the strongest spring bamboo shoots and let them grow into poles.
This bamboo pole with the spirit of dragon will definitely accompany you fishing in the sea and subdue the turtles in the sea.
This is a letter to a young brother and junior, asking him to keep his upbeat spiritual temperament and work hard to grow up, so that he will be of great use in the future.
It is the spring bamboo shoots season again. I wish you can eat the freshest bamboo shoots. I also wish your life will grow as strong as bamboo shoots, growing into towering green bamboos, as green as a gentleman and as tough as a green dragon.
