Liu praised watermelon in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Yang Hui has long algae, mixed with nine colors, with green skin honey and rich vegetables."
In the poem "Red Melon Lantern" written by Qu You in the Ming Dynasty, he said: "Pick the jade house in Qingmen, and skillfully infiltrate scarlet blood into the center. It forms three kinds of dangerous dew in the morning light and pours out nine kinds of slurry. Xi Nu used new dyes to wash flowers, and Shan Weng practiced old prescriptions. The guest banquet is full of dishes, and the snow lotus has a bright letter. "
Ji Xiaolan, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, said, "Dongling is the mother melon, but Yizhou is not the best variety. The ice and snow are cool, the honey is sweet, and the tea is warm. " In a few words, the unique delicacy of watermelon was revealed.
Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote "Eat Watermelon": "I hate cutting humps without hands and chewing cold melons. Plumes of flowers and shirts spit jasper, and blood stains make the skin red. The fragrance floats and laughs, the teeth are watery, and the clothes are cool. "
Chen Weisong, a poet in the early Qing Dynasty, wrote in Song of the Fairy: Watermelon: "Tender meat is cold, and Ivylinna Lee is red. Xia Xia fights Fang Jie. Next to the silver bed, it affects a hundred feet of cold spring. Light green reflection helps the jade pot to be cold. "
Wen Tianxiang's watermelon poem: "Pull out the golden horse knife, break the jasper bottle, a thousand red cherries, and a mass of topaz. When you swallow fireworks, there will be ice and snow in your teeth. "
I don't know if it is enough. I hope it will be adopted.
