From the poem "Spring Evening Tour in the Small Garden" by Wang Qi of the Song Dynasty: As soon as the remaining makeup fades from the plum powder, and the new red begonia is painted. The tea flowers are in full bloom, and wisps of sky thorns are sprouting from the berry wall.
Terum, Rosaceae. It is a small deciduous shrub with climbing stems and hook-like thorns on the stem. It has pinnate compound leaves and oval leaflets. Its flowers are white and fragrant and bloom in summer. After the tea leaves, no flowers bloom. Therefore, people often think that the blooming of tea flowers is the end of the flower season of the year. Wang Qi's poem "Spring Evening Tour in the Small Garden" of the Song Dynasty: "It's time for the tea flowers to bloom." This is what it means.
In addition:
Su Shi has a poem that goes: Tea leaves do not compete for spring, and loneliness blooms last.
Ren Zhuozhai's poem says: Spring comes to a close.
In addition, in "A Dream of Red Mansions", She Yue also mentioned the sentence "The flowers are blooming" when She Yue was drinking.
It means: When the tea leaves bloom in summer, summer is almost over! Because the tea plant is the last flower to bloom in the flowering season.
It means the end of the flowering season of the year.
