Enjoy the beautiful scenery of spring, about 400 words.

Common plants such as rape, peach blossom and willow branches constitute a beautiful scenery in spring.

In the Ming Dynasty, Li Yu once said in the article "Follow the Fate" that rape flowers are "like flowers, green fields and white clay, and they are not sincere in looking at the overall situation!" This description shows us the beautiful scenery of rape blossoms in spring.

While admiring Li Yu's beautiful prose and the beautiful scenery of rape flowers, have we ever thought that rape is not only a cash crop, but also a medicinal material? In Chinese herbal medicine, rape is called Brassica, which is said to have the effect of promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling, and treat toxic sores such as hematemesis and erysipelas. People often ignore its medicinal value because it is too common.

The same is true of willow and peach trees, which also have many medicinal values. Although they are all treasures, literati often paint poems for them, but few people emphasize their dual-purpose value of medicine and food.

In fact, the medicinal value of willow and peach trees is not inferior to their ornamental value.

For example, willow buds can be eaten and used to make tea; Peach blossoms can be soaked in wine for drinking, and the willow buds of peach blossoms belong to plants with the same origin of medicine and food.

Peach root and willow bark can also be used as medicine. Foreign scientists also extracted acetylsalicylic acid from willow bark, which was later aspirin. This medicine has been widely used in the medical field.

It is worth mentioning that the combination of peach branches and willow branches is used as a bath prescription for children. According to the oldest pediatric monograph of traditional Chinese medicine, Cranial Meridian, willow branches are a good prescription for children's medicated bath. Often bathing children with tender leaf soup can play a very good role in dispelling pathogenic factors and preventing problems before they happen, and can also make children less hurt by chemical bath products. Why not?

In addition, because the willow has a strong ability to sprout branches, it can survive even if the crown is cut off, so the name of willow comes from "leaving the tree". Willow is widely used because of its special material; Peach wood was often used to ward off evil spirits in ancient times, and today's Spring Festival couplets evolved from ancient peach symbols.

From this point of view, while we appreciate the beautiful scenery formed by these three plants in spring, we should not forget that these plants are also the original weapons endowed by nature to regulate our bodies.
