How can wild vegetables be compared with elegant poetry? Seeing this topic, people can’t help but ask.
In fact, a long time ago, wild vegetables have entered the literary palace of poetry and become the protagonist, chanted and sung in the writings of the ancients. Its origin can be traced back to the "Book of Songs". Someone once made a rough statistics. There are as many as 43 articles and 25 kinds of edible wild vegetables mentioned in the 305 chapters of "The Book of Songs". In many subsequent poems, songs and poems, ordinary wild vegetables are mentioned. It actually bloomed with extraordinary spirituality and wild interest.
Let’s start with "The Book of Songs". The Book of Songs was written in a slave society with extremely low productivity. People worked hard and lived with nature every day. People who lived in poverty had to rely on a large amount of wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. Therefore, wild vegetables are closely related to people's lives and have become an indispensable part. Poems originated from folk creations naturally cannot do without the description of wild vegetables when expressing life, labor and love.
The first chapter of the Book of Songs, "Guan Sui", sings: "Scattered water plants flow left and right, and the fair ladies long for them." Among them, the water plants are an edible water plant, floating on the surface of the water. Small yellow flowers bloom; in "Gu Feng", there is a poem that reflects the abandonment of working women by their husbands. "Who calls bitter vegetables? They are as sweet as shepherd's purse." It means: People say that bitter vegetables are bitter, but they can be compared with the pain in my heart. It is as sweet as shepherd's purse. "There are three liang of grains in bitter vegetables, which not only fills the stomach but also aphrodisiacs." It can not only clear away heat and dampness, reduce swelling and blood stasis, and detoxify, but also cool blood and stop bleeding. Shepherd's purse is a kind of wild vegetable that is deeply loved by the common people. Its common name is also called ground vegetable and Qingming vegetable. It is not only sweet in taste, but also has a green color. The poet Xin Qiji once said, "The peach trees in the city are worried about the wind and rain, and the spring is full of sorrow." "Shepherd's Purse Flowers in Xitou"; there is also such a poem in "Cotton Leaf": "Pick the coriander, and pick it with thin words." (Carrotweed), the meaning of the poem is: "What a fresh carrot, come and pick it. Whoever picks it belongs to whoever picks it." The expression of love is expressed by collecting wild vegetables; the text is like the poem in "Picking Ge": "He is picking kudzu flowers. If you don't see them for a day, it will be like March. He is picking kudzu flowers. If you don't see it for a day, it will be like three autumns." Kudzu root can be made into kudzu powder, while Xiao refers to a kind of white mugwort. Both are wild vegetables. , especially Artemisia annua, which is not only a delicious wild vegetable, but also a kind of medicinal material. It mostly grows in fields and beside roads and ditches. During the Qingming Festival, when Artemisia annua is luxuriant, there is an endless stream of people visiting graves to offer sacrifices. , by the way, we can collect white mugwort to treat diseases or satisfy our cravings. There are many types of mugwort. In the Book of Songs, there is a saying, "When the deer roar, eat the apples in the wild." Apple refers to the terrestrial white mugwort, commonly known as mugwort. , in the swamp and in the swamp." Fan refers to the aquatic white wormwood, and the white wormwood in "Compendium of Materia Medica" is undoubtedly Artemisia trichosanthes.
In addition, many wild vegetables are mentioned in the poems, such as wild peas (weicai), plantain (coil), white wormwood (蘩), ground rice (shepherd's purse), bitter vegetables ( Tea), etc., are still delicacies on people's dinner tables. But when the wild vegetables are transferred from the stomach to the heart, and take root of gratitude there, the fragrance of the vegetables turns into exquisite and sincere poems, adding to the weight of history and culture. Su Dongpo, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote in his "Evening Scene on the Spring River in Huichong": "Three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo are a foreteller of the warmth of the spring river. The ground is covered with wormwood and short reed buds. It is the time when puffer fish are about to come." The poet used vivid verses about peach blossoms blooming, spring rivers warm, ducks playing in the water, and wild vegetables growing all over the ground, to express the natural scene of spring returning to the earth in March and the revival of all things. It also painted a picture full of vitality for people to go out and pick wild vegetables. For thousands of years, wild vegetables have accompanied us to grow and die. On ordinary days, they are wild flowers and grasses and are the embellishments of life. The folk song also says: "On March 3rd, the wild vegetables are used as pills." These poems record the joy of spring, but when we encounter difficulties in life and use it to satisfy our hunger, the taste becomes bitter, and wild vegetables become the straw for the survival of the poor and the savior they hope for. The fragrant peaches and plums that are admired for their beauty, and the peonies and peonies that are charming to all kinds of people, become worthless and eclipsed when materials are extremely scarce. Therefore, literati in the past dynasties have left poems praising wild vegetables, and there are also a large number of poems and folk proverbs. For example, Jiang Kui of the Song Dynasty described in "Yangzhou Slowness" that "the spring breeze has passed for ten miles, and all the shepherds and wheat are green." Mr. Dongpo always tasted wild vegetables. Also expressed emotion. "At times he would go around the wheat fields looking for wild vegetables, and force himself to cook soup for the monks." The folk proverb "wormwood in March, wormwood in April, and firewood in May and June" clearly points out the contemporary nature of wild vegetables. Wild leeks in early spring are also crisp, tender and refreshing, full of game flavor, which cannot be compared with home-grown greenhouses. They are the best spring preparation for people. The poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty once left: "Spring leeks are cut in the night rain, and the yellow beams in the new cooking room" As a good saying goes, "new leeks in March are better than meat". People like wild vegetables not only because they can satisfy their appetite, but more importantly, many wild vegetables themselves are medicinal materials, which can achieve the therapeutic and health-care effects of "medicine and food coming from the same source". Therefore, there is a saying: "Wild vegetables are fragrant, return to nature and ensure health." . The first person to understand this principle is Lu You, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. In his poem "Miscellaneous Feelings", he believed that "cooking the beautiful mountains and vegetables in the morning, washing the stones in the afternoon and the clean springs, how can we work with seven minds and bodies, just like my skin?" In "Ten Rhymes of Shichichi", the true flavor can be tasted. "It is only given by Shentian that the green hills are green, the salt and cheese are precious, and the frost is gentle." Yes, finding the true flavor in the ordinary, experiencing the integration of man and nature, and blooming the brilliance of life in poetry, is this what we modern people can appreciate... When we hold poems in our hands and recite "Whenever we pick wild vegetables and roots and cook them, and spin them into firewood and burn them with leaves," what kind of melancholy and regret should arise in our hearts.
With Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Yuan music at your fingertips, you can find traces of them everywhere in the cultural Changsha. Singing in a variety of ways with different perceptions of life.
Lu Guimeng in the Tang Dynasty praised: "Searching in the smoke of the wild garden, the tender nails and fragrant flowers are gradually attracting you... If you want to help the spring season, do you still love it? You might as well be as chic as your home forest." Pi Rixiu's "Lu Wang plowed wild vegetables and showed his evil thoughts in exchange for reward": "If you pick deeply, you will see the liquid from cow's lips. If you pinch it carefully, you will smell the mouse's ears and see. The purple armor is picked from the edge of the spring vein, and the green teeth are inserted from the stone roots." . Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty wrote: "The perennial roots of the vine have grown leaves, the leek buds are like ferns in earthen fists, the steamed shepherd's purse and white fish are fat, and the cold cakes with Artemisia annua are crushed and smooth." After reading this, I can't help but sigh. Over the years, wild vegetables have grown on the banks of fields and on the roadsides of ditches. They do not need humans to fertilize and cultivate the soil, and are left to fend for themselves. Perhaps in the eyes of the dignitaries, they are still wild and untamed, lowly and humble things, but under their "noble" contempt Despite being cast aside, there are still so many literati from ancient times to the present who care about it, and there are still so many poems hanging on its leaves. It was rafting on the river in the Book of Songs. In that era of elegance and elegance, there were fair ladies picking ragged water plants, and the fragrance of cress and love floated on the river; there were those who accompanied it during the arduous journey to Dongpo. Not only the chess, calligraphy and painting, but also the small but tenacious wild vegetables that grow endlessly, let him appreciate the joy of the world amidst the ups and downs of life...
Civilized modern humans, in March, when the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, please step out of the narrow high-rise buildings, cross the busy highways, abandon worldly fame and fortune, and take your lover and children for an outing in the suburbs. Dig wild vegetables, enjoy the spring scenery, enjoy delicious food, and enjoy a moment of joy. You can experience the taste of game in ancient poems, feel the love "on the river island", let your body and mind wander in the gifts of nature, and achieve true harmony between people and nature!
