Hemerocallis originated in southern China, Siberia, Japan and Southeast Asia. Wide adaptability, cold resistance, humidity resistance, drought resistance, sunshine resistance and semi-shade resistance. Generally, soil can grow, and sandy loam with good drainage and high fertility is the best.
China's mother flower: Hemerocallis.
Daylily is located in Guanjiazui Town, Qidong County, Hunan Province. Before carnation became a symbol of maternal love, there was also a kind of mother flower in China, that is, daylily.
Hemerocallis has been planted in China for thousands of years. Hemerocallis is also called Cao Chen, which means to forget. The earliest written record is found in the Book of Songs Feng Wei Bosi: "You get the back of the tree". Zhu Zhu noted: "The worry of forgetting grass; Back, Beitang also. "
Another title, Forget Worry (Worry-Free Girl), comes from natural history: "Hemerocallis make people happy and forget their worries, so they are called Worry-Free Girls." The book of songs is abbreviated as: "the northern hall is dark, and it can be planted with mystery"; Beitang stands for mother. In ancient times, if a wanderer wanted to travel far away, he would plant day lilies in Beitang first, hoping to alleviate his mother's yearning for his children and forget his worries. Meng Jiao's Poems of Wandering Children in the Tang Dynasty wrote: "Hemerocallis are born in the hall, and wanderers travel all over the world;" The loving mother leans against the hall door, but she doesn't see the daylily flowers. "Wang Mian's" My Book "said," It's sunny today, and the daylilies are blooming in front of the hall. Holding a cup is my mother's birthday, and there is no sound. "
Scholars in past dynasties often used it as the theme of chanting things, Cao Zhi sang for it, Su Dongpo wrote poems for it, and Xiahou Zhan wrote poems for it, pointing out the position of day lily in life one by one.
Hemerocallis is also known as' suitable for men', so it is called' pregnant women will have a boy if they wear its grass'.
In ancient China, Xuan was often used as a surrogate mother. The birthday greetings to the old mother were: "Hemerocallis are beautiful in the South Pole, and plums are fragrant around the North Hall"; "The flat peach lasts for three thousand years, and the day lily blooms for eight hundred years." When Mother's Day comes every year, besides choosing carnations as Mother's Day gifts, it is also a good choice to choose our day lily, which has always symbolized maternal love. Hemerocallis are in full bloom. May all mothers in the world be happy and healthy!
