On that day, I read a diary with pictures in my friend's space-"Good Time in the Field". Those familiar and warm flowers and plants, those strange and unique names, grabbed my heart at once, and the surprise was beyond words. They were poetic in my heart ... these flowers and flowers in rural Yuan Ye.
I still remember when I was a child, every time after school or on Sunday, I would meet my friends, carry a basket and a shovel, and spend my childhood in my hometown of Yuan Ye, fields, Woods and rivers in the name of pulling out rabbit grass and pig food. At that time, we had plenty of time and things to do, like boys climbing trees, going down rivers, picking wild flowers, digging wild vegetables, looking for cicadas and monkeys, sticking cicadas, catching small fish, touching loach and catching mussels ... That's when we got to know Xanthium sibiricum, morning glory, plantain, kid fork, barnyard grass, dog tail grass, noodles and mother-in-law.
It's also today that I realized that they all have their own unique and lovely names. Looking at the familiar faces, I suddenly remembered the class reunion a few years ago. In 15 years, except for a few very familiar faces, many people, I can't remember their names. When sitting together and chatting slowly, a subtle feeling rose in my mind, just like developing photos, which gradually changed from fuzzy to fuzzy in the developer. That kind of surprise, no words; That kind of feeling, irreplaceable, is the memory, aftertaste, revisiting and arousing after a long separation.
haha, isn't this the "kid fork"? It has such a lovely name-mother-in-law needle. It's really "secretive". No matter how careful you are, it can always hang your shoes, socks, trouser legs and sleeves with its small, thin thorns unnoticed ... until it itches, you suddenly find that boy, it's full and dense, and his whole body is full of "one milk" So, sitting in the warm sunshine, carefully picking them off with laughter. The most wonderful thing is that unconsciously, you have done a beautiful thing to fulfill others: the place you lost is just the new home prepared for it by its clever and attentive mother.
Soft-weak-spotted-planted-grass, I read a strange name and looked at the picture with my eyes wide open. It seems that there is a layer of fine fluff on the slightly weak leaf, and at the top are looming, light blue dreamy little flowers. Yes, that's it, the "toe cover". It has such a long and awkward name and a nursery rhyme. When we were young, as long as we saw it, we would pick a few leaves, crush them with our hands, pat them on the palm of our hands three times, and put them on our noses to smell them. Suddenly, the fresh cucumber smell came to our nostrils, which was very attractive!
asclepidium sativum, which was called Gracilaria in ancient times. Such an elegant name, in the eyes of our rural baby, is the "buffalo gourd ladle" that we can't put down. When we were young, we didn't care about it, as long as it was beneficial to us, we all liked it. Our favorite is its white silky seeds. Peel off the scorched gourd-shaped unsmooth seed coat, which is full of white and soft velvet-shaped seed flocks. Hold your head high and blow gently with your mouth. White umbrella-shaped tidbits float, fall, float and fall gently in front of your eyes ... Several children blow together, and the beautiful fairyland-like scene fascinates us so much. However, its flower fragrance is a little strange, and we don't like it very much. In addition, sticky milky juice will emerge from the broken stems and leaves, which is not easy to wash. Therefore, when the gourd ladle is immature, we generally don't touch it easily.
"Sambucus williamsii", as soon as I saw its special appearance, it was like meeting an old friend. I called out its name at once. Its scientific name is Jiecao, also known as Equisetum japonicum, which is similar to our name. It was born in the strangest way. No matter the stem or the leaf, it is a line with different lengths and thicknesses. What's even more amazing is that it is like a mosaic toy that children play with now, and each section can be gently pulled out and then put together. That was our favorite game when we were children, and we always played tireless games.
haha, this grass is too familiar, but its appearance is not easy to distinguish from other grasses, and its name can't be remembered clearly. It turns out that there is such a local name-Bermuda grass! Someone said: "When I was a child, I played with the grass seeds of this kind of grass: take a grain and put it on the back of corn leaves, and make a' continuous' sound at it with my mouth. This grass seed will crawl like a bug, perhaps because its fine hair is similar to that on the back of corn leaves." So our group of children call it' continuous lice'. " It's a pity that we didn't find this kind of play when we were young. See you later, I have to make up this lesson, but I don't know if I can meet you again.
"cornflower, an annual creeping herb belonging to the genus cornflower in Leguminosae, is also called" qi qi qi qi qi ". Three compound leaves, clear veins and parallel lateral veins. " I covered the picture with my hand to guess who it was. It must be it, but unfortunately, it didn't have a name at that time, and we were careless and never thought of giving it a name. Sure enough, it is, its small oval leaves, you don't say, are really like the bean-shaped eyes of a chicken. When we were young, we were most willing to tear its leaves to play. It always bulged out in a triangle and the other half was concave. Such wonderful leaves attracted us very much. If you don't observe carefully, you will confuse another kind of grass with it, that is, Euphorbia humilis (Euphorbia humilis). We call it "Xianai Tree". When you pull it gently with your hand, milky juice will emerge at the broken part. Their leaves are almost the same in shape and size, except that cornflower feels like "air-dried" milk-passing grass. Because the milkweed is juicy, it is the favorite of rabbits.
The rabbit likes to eat beef tendon grass, also known as cricket grass, which is called "small squatting grass" by us. Its green, fresh and tender appearance is very attractive. Its root system is extremely developed. When I was a child, I always wondered if it was named because it grew almost flat on the ground. Now that I think about it, it should be called "small shield grass", right? So strong, even if you break its leaves, it is difficult to pick it up. No wonder it also has a name like "Niujincao". Now I know that it can prevent and treat Japanese encephalitis by decocting all the grass in water!
"Eragrostis", such a beautiful name, turned out to be our favorite "small vanilla". It grows among other weeds, but for its wonderful faint scent of grass and flowers, it would not be easy to find. Its tiny flowers exude a unique fragrance of grass, which we most like to smell and rabbits most like to eat.
when we were young, in the eyes of adults, our task was to pull out rabbit grass and pig food. Rabbits don't eat much, but pigs are different. A basket full of weeds will soon be wiped out. Because of the grey vegetables and amaranth, even the heavy tasks become easier. Because they never grow singly or sparsely.
Grey vegetables, which always grow in patches in fields, fields and ditches, always make us ecstatic. So, we put down our baskets, each person has a piece of territory, and we can finish the task just after sweating. We are sincerely happy to see piles of neatly placed trophies. The most successful thing is that bundles are brought in, neatly packed into the baskets, and finally. Next, it is our happiest time. Find a flat clearing, put the basket away, take out the shuttlecock and jump rope, or find a "grass-saving" tree to play with. In short, there are plenty to play with. It was not until the smoke rose in the village that we picked up our baskets, carried songs and laughter, and covered ourselves with sunset glow and went home. Seeing our red faces and red arms tied by baskets, my mother always feels extremely distressed, so we don't have to worry about getting noisy at all. Grey cabbage, a common wild vegetable, was called Chenopodium album in ancient times. Chenopodium album is a kind of drought-tolerant and barren plant. Despite its lowliness and harsh living environment, it can always survive tenaciously. Isn't Chenopodium a portrayal of the poor people? The original word of "Chenopodium album" is "Li", "Li, many people also." Limin is the meaning of the people and the common people. Therefore, just like the common people of Limin, with its tenacious vitality, grey vegetables are still endless today when all kinds of herbicides are widely used! !
I haven't seen it for a long time. As soon as I saw its photo, I immediately called out its name. It is called "shovel head" by us. When I was a child, I never understood how her thin and delicate appearance could be associated with the broad, square and hard shovel head. Now that I think about it, it should be called "Iron Amaranth Head". That's the favorite weed in the corn field, always close to each other. When we were young, we searched all over the place with baskets on our shoulders, chose the fattest one, drilled into the corn fields, and smashed the ground handfuls. Like cabbage, its flowers are so humble that you can't feel its existence.
It's strange that the flowers and plants that impress me the most are all related to eating. Now that I think about it, when I was a child, we were so fond of eating and bold. Was it because of lack of food or the nature of children?
When we see it, there are a few "sour and sour trees" nestled among the mature wheat seedlings. The joy is beyond words. It is generally not easy to find. As long as we find it, we will definitely pick a few young leaves, and we will put them in our mouths too late to wash them, wipe them with our hands and blow them with our mouths. Even so, the sour smell makes us pursed our mouths, squint our eyes and frown. Others call it "toothache", and you can know its temper when you see its name. Only now do I know that it originally had such an orthodox name-Mian-Mao-Suan-Mo-Ye-Polygonum, also known as Polygonum multiflorum. I haven't seen it for many years, and I miss its taste very much.
there are plenty of delicious food.
are you familiar with it? "It's not easy to say that I love you". Its colorful peas are our favorite. They are not only beautiful but also edible. Although the edible part is only a thin layer of skin wrapped on the seeds, its extremely beautiful colors, handsome appearance and sour taste still attract us. However, it is hard to prevent the inverted sharp spines all over, but it makes us afraid to do it easily. It originally had such a special name-Polygonum perfoliatum, also known as Polygonum perfoliatum. I heard that there is an allusion in it, so I have to check it out sometime.
I am very excited and excited to find it. It is called "Qing" by us, but it has the same pronunciation, and I don't know which word. It is tall and big, and I feel that this word is the most suitable. In my memory, it is a kind of hemp, and adults wait for it to grow up, peel it off, rub it into thread, and use it to accept the soles. But in the eyes of children, what we like best is its bulging buds and newly grown fruits. That taste and color are rare delicacies at that time. The bud is golden yellow, chewy and sticky in the mouth, with a clear fragrance; The seeds in the fruit are white and tender, crunchy when chewed in the mouth, and sweet. In the summer afternoon, several of us got into the holding field much higher than our heads, picked a big holding leaf, rolled it into a cone along the petiole, and began our delicious picking. That kind of happiness is beyond words. Now I know it's called "Tiao" and "Tiao Ma".
Portulaca oleracea, which was called "grasshopper" when we were young, was really naive and lovely at that time. I often think, how did it get this name? Do grasshoppers like it very much? Sometimes when you see a grasshopper crouching on it, you will no longer be confused. Now I know that it should be called "Equus dentata". Look at its leaves. Isn't it just like Equus dentata? There is another reason to remember it. When I was in primary school, my teacher would cook buckets of soup with it and let us drink it. The taste was really flattering. Its vitality is extremely strong. If it is uprooted and exposed to the sun for a few days, it will still come back to life when it encounters soil and water. Today, when all kinds of herbicides are widely used, many grasses are extinct or rare, but it has great energy to keep the momentum of that year. It is medicinal to cook soup with it, and it tastes bad. However, it is liked by everyone when it is washed and scalded with hot water.
water chestnut, also known as water chestnut, water chestnut and black taro, was a rare delicacy when I was a child. It was cooked in a pot or burned in a fire. Now that I think about it, I miss it very much.
There are some flowers and plants that are inedible and not fun, but they are deeply imprinted in our hearts with their unique charm.
it, with its slim figure and sparse flowers and leaves, can be described as a beauty among weeds. Who would have thought that it had such a name-smelly grass, which was extremely disproportionate to it. What's even more incomprehensible is that it didn't smell bad, and its name was smelly grass for no reason. Are you worried that if you have a beautiful name, you will be jealous?
It's called Tian Zi Cao. What a vivid name. I only remember it floating on the water. Its fresh, tender and slippery appearance is really beautiful. We don't know its name, but we have never explored it. I just feel that it should be a duckweed. There are four leaves at the top of the stem, so it is also called four-leaf clover, which was called apple in ancient times. "The Book of Songs Picking Apples": "What about picking apples? The coast of Nanjian; Where can I go to mining? In that line. " The apple in the Book of Songs is probably this kind of field grass.
chickweed, also known as chickweed, is a very humble herb. Among many flowers and plants, it is so delicate that the stem is hollow; The leaves are extremely thin, too thin to enter our eyes; The flower is so small that you have to open your eyes and count how many petals it has. Just like Artemisia capillaris, its leaves are as thin as silk thread. When it was born, it was quite like salsola. It looked very special. We noticed it when we were young, but we just felt that pigs didn't eat it, rabbits didn't smell it, and it wasn't very fun. Therefore, we didn't have any special memories and paid little attention to it. But when I saw him today, I still had the kindness of "meeting an old friend in another country". Just like many people, no matter how ordinary he is and how you don't care about him, he is always there. Similarly, it has its own justified name-goose intestines.
oh, my god, it used to be called hyssop! Just like goose intestines, we children despise it, but it turns out to be the famous buttercup grass! Psalm 5l, verse 7, records: King David found himself guilty, and appealed to God, saying, "Please clean me with hyssop, and I will be clean.". Could it be that it is a kind of grass with decontamination function? It turns out that hyssop is a traditional sacred grass in Judaism, and it is a custom to eat it to purify the body. This should refer to the purification effect of this plant on plague, leprosy and chest pain. In fact, because of its deodorizing properties, people often use it to purify sacred altars and temples, so hyssop has always been regarded as a sacred plant. It is also recorded in John 19: 3 that people tied a sponge soaked in vinegar to a bunch of hyssop and handed it to Jesus to invite him to drink. Arabs still call hyssop "sacred grass".
is it familiar to everyone? As long as it is idle and wet, it will never grow alone, with thousands of troops and horses, dense layers and vast expanses. Because its plants are taller than ordinary grasses, it is called "horseshoe" by us. Today, we just know that it has such a nice name-Xiangsi Grass, also called Yetang Artemisia, which belongs to Chrysanthemum, a white wine genus of Compositae. At this time, I just remembered that its top is forked, and many, many small flowers will be produced.
