Plum blossoms are in full bloom in Xixi National Wetland Park. What do you know about this flower?

Mei Lan and Zhu Ju are known as the flowers of China? Four gentlemen? . It is not only elegant in appearance, but also has the character of a scholar, and has been endowed with various noble spiritual connotations by scholars throughout the ages. Plum blossoms in Xixi National Wetland Park recently? Thousands of acres of plum blossoms bloom for a while, forming a thick sea of flowers like clouds. From a distance, it looks like a floating dream red cloud, which makes people fall into fairyland.

Plum blossom belongs to Rosaceae and is a deciduous tree. Plum blossoms generally bloom in winter or early spring and are called orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. Four gentlemen in flowers? Also called pine and bamboo? Three friends at the age of cold? . From these two titles alone, we can see that plum blossom has been endowed with gentleman's character and cold ling's pride.

Let's take a look at the modeling characteristics of plum blossoms first. Plum blossom is a small tree. The height of plum trees is generally 4~ 10 meters, and the bark is grayish brown with a little green. In fact, apart from apricot and plum, plum is usually not cold-resistant? I don't know if ancient poets saw apricots and plums too coincidentally, so there are so many poems praising plum blossoms in the cold wind.

In fact, most of our knowledge of plum blossom comes from China's classical poems. Plum blossoms bloom in the cold, and many flowers wither in the snow all over the sky. Only plum blossoms bloom in front of the flowers, and they don't compete with the flowers, emitting a faint fragrance alone.

For example, Wang Anshi wrote in Plum Blossom: Knowing far away is not snow, only fragrance comes. We can boldly speculate from these words that what Wang Anshi saw should be Bai Mei, otherwise there would be no words that are indistinguishable from snow.

For another example, Lu You wrote in Yongmei that nothing is constant except fragrance. You should be familiar with this poem, right? After all, I took the Chinese exam many times. When Lu You wrote this word, he just wanted to use plum blossom to describe his noble moral integrity that he didn't want to go along with the wicked in officialdom. Even if he finally withers and is crushed into dust, he will still give off a faint fragrance.

Therefore, plum blossom often entrusted the aloof and lofty character of ancient China literati who were unwilling to go along with evil.

On the other hand, plum blossoms are still in full bloom in the severe winter, which also symbolizes an indomitable and tenacious spirit. In the cold winter, many trees and flowers are dormant, and even people are reluctant to go out to work. And the poet woke up and suddenly found out? There are a few plums in the corner, and ling cold opens them alone. How can you not be ecstatic?

I suddenly thought of going to my aunt's house for New Year's greetings, and I saw my aunt transplant some bougainvillea twigs and put them in a flowerpot. I don't know if they can survive.
