Lagerstroemia indica. Chengdu

I always think that everything with "purple" in its name is beautiful. Fairy Xia Zi is a fairy in the hearts of countless people, and A Zi is also a kind of infatuation.

A few years ago, I attended an activity and met a girl named Akiko. As soon as I saw this name, I couldn't help talking to this person. Besides, she is good-looking. I remember the activities in those days, and I always approached her with nothing to do. Her long hair, long skirt and shallow smile are all so attractive.

"Purple" and "micro" are both pleasant syllables. Wei Zi, Wei Zi, who will you think of?

The names of Lagerstroemia indica include Lagerstroemia indica and Lagerstroemia indica. In addition to plants, crape myrtle has three meanings: first, the name of the constellation, north of Beidou, is said to be the residence of the Emperor of Heaven. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records: "There is a Wei Zi Palace in the sky, which is the residence of God. ; Second, the place where the emperor lived was the Forbidden City. Third, it is the control name of the Tang Dynasty. Because in the Tang Dynasty, many Wei purple flowers were planted in Zhongshu Province, which were used to suppress evil spirits and strengthen the body in Taoism. Tang Xuanzong believed this, so Zhongshu Province was also called Wei Zi Province.

Cen Can, a famous frontier poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Du Fu, the Imperial Advisor of Left Chamber":

Go to the same step, there are red steps, the branch office of the office is separated from you by the mi. In the morning, the emperor's honor entered the palace, and at night the body was stained with the aroma of the furnace. White hair increases, lamenting the withering of spring flowers, looking up at the sky and admiring the flying birds. There is probably nothing wrong with the brilliant master dynasty, and the emperor played sparsely.

The tortuous and obscure brushwork in the poem expresses the complex mentality of a generation of literati who are humble and disappointed with the country. Among them, the word "Wei Zi" in "Purple Wall Daiwa" refers to the province of Chinese books. According to the official records of the Book of the Tang Dynasty, in the first year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 7 13), the province of Zhongshu was changed to Wei Zi Province, and the order of Zhongshu (the right prime minister) was changed to Ziweiling. Wei Zi has become synonymous with official positions such as Zhongshuling and Zhongshuling. Although it didn't last long, it became an anecdote in history, so that people who worked in Zhongshu Province later liked to call it "Wei Zi".

Bai Juyi, a great poet, was the best official in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, he was Ren Zhongshu Lang. It was a dusk day, and it was quiet around him. He sat alone in Zhongshu Province and wrote "Zhongshu Shushu Province":

Your writing is quiet, and the bell and drum tower are long.

Sitting alone in the dusk, who is the companion, Ziwei Hua versus Ziweilang.

The "Si Lun Ge" in this paper refers to the attic where imperial edicts were written for the emperor, and "Ziweilang" is the abbreviation of Ziweilang, that is, the assistant minister of Chinese books. "Zhi Zhongshu Province" and "Zhi Jing Value" mean "on duty in Zhongshu Province".

I was on duty at Silunge, where Zhongshu Province planned to write the imperial edict. There was silence around, only the sound of dripping water from the bell and drum tower was heard, and it took a long time. In this evening loneliness, I sit alone. Who will accompany me? Only Ziweihua and I, a Ziweilang, were silent.

This poem was written by Bai Juyi when he was young. When I was on duty, I was accompanied by Ziweihua, and one of them was still very proud. But not long after, Bai Juyi made the emperor unhappy because of his repeated advice. According to the Book of Old Tang Dynasty, Tang Xianzong once said to a man, "Bai Juyi, a boy, boasted, but he was rude to me. I really can't stand it. " Later, for various reasons, middle-aged Bai Juyi offended the court and was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima and Xunyang Riverside. His mood was once bleak, and he wrote the masterpiece Pipa Xing handed down from generation to generation.

Bai Juyi wrote a poem named Wei Zihua in his later years: "Wei Zihua is different from Weng's name. Exclusive wheat straw as a summer scene, not the color of spring wind. Xunyang official residence has two towering trees and a large cluster of good monasteries. Like Suzhou Resettlement Office, Huatang column will be in the middle of next month. "Compared with the previous poem" Ziweihua vs Ziweilang ",the artistic conception is completely different.

Bai Juyi also wrote a lyric poem entitled "Seeing Flowers and Remembering Micro": "What's the difference between a bunch of dim flowers and a light blue cage skirt lined with a purple towel? There are few others in the world except my humble opinion on love. " This is because I admire the flowers in Wei Zi and miss my best friend Yuan Zhen. A "flower lover" is a person who really knows how to appreciate flowers.

In the Tang dynasty, I was admitted to Zhongshu province, and my career was beautiful and my career was booming. Du Mu, the official official in the book, also wrote a poem "Zi Weihua":

Autumn dew in Xiao Ying is a new branch, which does not occupy most of the spring in the garden.

Where is Tao Li speechless now? Sunshine people who smile at the wind.

Lagerstroemia indica blooms with dew in autumn, and it is not in a hurry to compete with peaches and plums in spring. Although people praise "peaches and plums are speechless, but when Wei Zi proudly opens, where will peaches and plums go?" It is said that after Du Mu wrote this poem, it was widely read, and people called him "Du Weizi".

Wei Zihua is closely related to officials in Wei Zi, so poets often associate it with officials and become a symbol of official career rights, which is called "official flower". In the Song Dynasty, Lu You wrote a poem to Wei Zi:

The official flowers in front of the bell and drum tower, who let them wander to the end of the world.

Today's teenagers want to get rid of it, but they love to soak in the sunset glow.

In this poem, "official flower" refers to Osmunda japonica. Originally planted in the official forbidden park, it is now planted in front of the bell and drum tower. Lu You was called into Beijing by the emperor when he was young. The emperor gave him a scholarship, but he was later expelled from Beijing. Wandering Wei Zihua is the epitome of the poet's own ups and downs in officialdom.

Liu Hao, a poet in A Qing, spoke highly of Ziwei in "Broad Groups and Fragrances", saying, "One branch counts glumes, and one glume counts flowers. It is not enough to say that every time the breeze comes, Yao Jiao trembles and the dancing swallows are amazing. In the Tang Dynasty, this kind of flower was planted to be durable and lovely. " No wonder the ancients praised "Ziweihua Gaoke". Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty also wrote a poem "Wei Zihua in front of Juxing Hall". In his eyes, graceful Wei Zihua is a quiet girl who is not competitive with others, beautiful and has a lonely heart.

Elegant wisteria, if you are interested in me. It is smoky in the evening and clear in the morning.

There is no spring moon, and the seasons are different. Quiet girls are not competitive and complacent.

Who cares? I'm haggard alone. Besides, I don't drink hard liquor, and my countless English lines have dropped. Look at each other alone and talk to yourself alone.

Ziwei Hua and the poet are lonely. A little peace, a little peace, how much worry, who knows?

Lagerstroemia indica is a long-lived tree, which can live for more than 500 years and is still full of flowers. As early as 1000 years ago, Lagerstroemia indica was planted in palaces and official residences as a exotic flower. It is said that there are many ancient crape myrtle trees in China, which have been preserved in Kunming, Suzhou and Chengdu for 500-700 years. In ancient times, people thought that Wei Zi was really purple, so it was called Wei Zi. China is one of the origins of Lagerstroemia indica, and has been the world cultivation center since ancient times. Westerners discovered this tree from India, so the French called it "Indian Lilac".

Besides the name Wei Zi, there are many other interesting names:

Centennial Red, Full House Red, Honghuihua, Itchy Tree, Itchy Flower, Palace Flower, Gaoke, Aster Flower, Skinless Tree, Monkey Spine, Monkey Rhonda Tree, Egret Flower, Buddha Flower, Baohua, Golden Dragon with Five Claws, Purple Gold Label, Purple Orchid, Mosquito Flower, Amitabha Buddha and so on. The result is a capsule, which looks like soybean and contains many seeds. It expires on 1 1 month.

Ziwei is really cute. If people scratch the trunk of Lagerstroemia indica by hand, the branches and leaves of the tree will tremble slightly, as if they were ticklish. As the saying goes, "the skin is thin but the claws are light", so people give it the names of tickling tree and tickling flower. "Qunfangpu Wei Zi" also records: "A hundred-day red flower, a ticklish flower, a monkey stabbed it. The tree is smooth, with six petals and red and purple ... People scratch its skin with their hands and shake it completely, hence the name "tickling". "

According to documents, the northerners' deepest impression of Ziwei is that the tree has no skin and its body is too slippery for monkeys to climb. "Wei Zi, northerners call monkeys Da Lang trees, saying that trees have no skin and apes can't be fast. The trees in the north are particularly big, and there are people surrounded by trees. "

Lagerstroemia indica is not only lovely, but also a magical flower. The trunk of young Lagerstroemia indica grows epidermis every year and then falls off on its own. The trunk looks fresh and smooth after the epidermis falls off. The epidermis of the old Lagerstroemia indica does not regenerate, and its veins are quite bare and smooth. Lagerstroemia indica has been a very good bonsai tree material since ancient times, and it is one of the "eighteen bachelors" in pile scenery. An important landscape use of Lagerstroemia indica can be placed in a suitable environment with various pile landscape shapes, which has a vigorous, simple, elegant and ending effect.

"There are four kinds of crape myrtle, red, light red, purple and white, but purple is a positive color," said Wang Shimao's book Yu Shu in the Ming Dynasty. Now purple, pink, lavender and white are very common in cities. Also known as Hong Wei, Cui Wei and Chi Wei. Osmanthus, clusters of growth and opening, delicate and touching, lovable. Petals are small and wrinkled, like crepe, which is called "Myrtle with crepe" in English. The six petals are arranged in an inverted cone shape closely and symmetrically above the bud, and the sun can shine on the center of the bud unimpeded. Look at each petal carefully, like a small and exquisite parachute, the more you look, the more beautiful it is.

Wei Zi, seemingly weak, is actually extremely powerful. Lagerstroemia speciosa is a medicinal deciduous tree of Lagerstroemia in Lysimachiaceae, which is warm, cold-resistant, pruning, drought-tolerant and strong in sprouting. It can also overwinter in the north, with strong cold resistance and good growth in calcareous soil. Wisteria also has strong anti-pollution ability, and has strong resistance to sulfur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride and chlorine. Lagerstroemia indica can also adsorb dust, so it is the most ideal tree species for urban, industrial and mining greening, and is suitable for planting in front of buildings, courtyards, roadsides, sparse forests and grassland edges.

Lagerstroemia indica has beautiful tree shape, bright colors and long flowering period. It beautifies the environment and dares to take responsibility. It is by no means a beautiful and useless flower in a greenhouse. Look at the isolation belt in the middle of the expressway. Rows of Lagerstroemia indica trees stretch their bodies and stretch out smooth branches, as well as lush and elegant flowers and leaves, pink, purple, white and red, with yellow spikes, graceful, breezy and dancing, adding a little tenderness and beauty to the hard and rough expressway. If it happens to be a red light, your car will stop next to Wei Zihua, and the flowers will tremble and sway when the wind blows. I'll show you with a smile. It is estimated that this is the most beautiful and warmest moment in a tiring journey.

Wei Zi, this name sounds beautiful, and it is both internal and external. You see, she obviously has a face value, and she looks good standing there, but she has to fight for a talent. She is full of treasures and medicines. Its taste is cold and slightly sour, and it has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, stopping dysentery, stopping bleeding and relieving pain. Roots, leaves and flowers can be collected for medicine all year round. As the saying goes, toothache is not a disease, but it hurts terribly. Dig some Lagerstroemia indica roots, wash them and stew them with lean pork. 30 grams of Lagerstroemia indica root 100 grams of lean pork will be boiled, and when eaten as a dish, the teeth will not hurt after a few days.

Perhaps it is Ziwei's unique personality, which is feminine and has a human temperament. Li Yu commented:

People say that animals know, plants don't know, so, otherwise. Animals and plants are full of knowledge, but the knowledge of animals is slightly different from that of people, plants and animals, and also slightly different from animals. If you become stupid, you become stupid. How did you know? Ziwei knows that she is ticklish, and it is very painful to know. If it is painful, it is not far from animals, and it is not far from people. People call this kind of tree ticklish, only Lagerstroemia indica, and the rest are not ticklish. Yu Yue: The vegetation is the same, but this tree is ticklish. I know there is no grass or wood here, but Wei Zi can move, but other trees can't move their ears. People ask again: since you don't move, how do you know it hurts? Yu Yue: As far as people are concerned, people who are ticklish move when they scratch. Some people who are not ticklish don't move when they are tickled. Don't people know that? From the point of view, there are still people who can't bear to talk about the suffering and pain when animals and plants are slaughtered. People can use crape myrtle to treat all flowers and trees, and treat animals and people with all flowers and trees, so they dare not cut it indiscriminately, but it means disease and pain. "

The flower language of Ziwei Flower is auspicious, safe and addictive.

There is a legend about the origin of Osmunda japonica in China. It is said that there was a fierce beast called Nian in ancient times, which hurt countless people and animals, so Zixing descended to earth, locked it in the mountains and allowed it to go out only once a year. In order to supervise this year, Ziweixing became Wei Zihua and stayed in the world, bringing peace and beauty to the world.

If your home is full of Wei Zihua, Wei Zixian will take care of you and give you a lifetime of happiness. When you and your true love are holding hands under the crape myrtle tree, you can see heaven from each other's hands, which will be the perfect destination of your life.

Everything is spiritual and beautiful.
