"Nobody knows Lansheng Valley, but I am a guest of Dong Xuan. Knowing that pure fragrance can relieve filth, I feel more delicate leaves and smart cream. " This is Su Zhe's famous orchid poem in Song Dynasty. Orchids never wither in the cold, and their fragrance is noble and elegant, overflowing with delicate fragrance, and they have won almost overwhelming praise: "fragrant ancestor", "king's fragrance", "beauty in an empty valley" and "gentleman in flowers". Orchid is one of the top ten famous flowers in China and has a long cultivation history. As early as 600 BC to 1000 BC, the Book of Songs had a blue chapter: "Qin and Fang Huan." Official female, Fang Bingxi ",Lu Ji:" Jun is orchid, vanilla is also ". China is one of the important cradles of orchids, with a wide variety and distribution, and there are traces of orchids everywhere from temperate zone, subtropical zone to tropical rain forest. There are more than 1200 species of orchids in China, such as orchids in Yunnan, orchids in Sichuan, orchids in Fujian, orchids in Zhejiang and orchids in Taiwan Province, all of which are famous varieties. Orchids are born in the jungle of the valley and do not compete with flowers. Her charm is simple and elegant, her flowers are dignified, and her fragrance is delicate and clear, with an elegant and pleasant oriental charm. Throughout the ages, poets have written poems for it, painters have waved their hands for it, and the works of reciting orchids have emerged endlessly throughout the ages. Qu Yuan in the Warring States Period was probably the earliest orchid lover and planter. In Li Sao, he chanted, "I prune orchids nine times, and I prune a hundred flowers and acres." "Yu" records: "Confucius returned to Lu in self-defense, and in the hidden valley, he saw vanilla alone, sighing: Lan Zhi should be the king's fragrance, and now he is alone with grass. "There are countless people who love orchids in later generations. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty famously said, "Orchid flowers smell like chrysanthemum flowers, and you can't forget them when you are pregnant with beauty. "Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a well-known poem" Antique ":"Lonely orchids live in secluded gardens, and the vegetation is destroyed. Although the sun shines brightly in spring, I feel sorry for the crisp moon in autumn. First frost early, green dare not rest. If there is no breeze, who will deliver the incense? "Poets use orchids as metaphors to express their talents in their praise of orchids. People love orchids, love their simplicity and innocence, and have a unique beauty of tranquility. What is particularly rare is that orchids are evergreen all year round, and flowers are inexhaustible. Chunlan has withered, orchids have sprouted, autumn orchids have just withered, and Hanlan has opened. Chunlan flowers in February and March, fragrant; Orchids, also known as Xia Lan, bloom in April and May; Qiu Lan blooms from July to September, with rich fragrance; In winter, Chunlan and Anchovies bloom around the Spring Festival. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yu's "Lan Shi" said: "If it can be white and yellow, no one will be fragrant. A small heart can hold a lot of incense. "It praised the characteristics of orchids." Chunlan is like a beauty, and she is not ashamed to offer it. When I smell the wind and smell the fragrance, I can't see the fragrance. "Su Shi wrote this poem about Chunlan in Song Dynasty;" Four or five stems planted in Qiu Lan are too close to the bottom of the curtain, so they may not be cold, so they should be fragrant until the end of the Qing Dynasty. "In the Song Dynasty, Zhu's poem Lan was sung; The snowy road steals light green grass, and the ice roots spit out pollen buds. There are no peaches and plums in life, and famous mountains are fragrant everywhere. " In Song Dynasty, Yang Wanli's Blue Poem praised Donglan. "The spirit is as long as the orchid, and the heart is as long as the orchid. "When people praise unshakable integrity and friendship, they always compare orchids. Famous painters Zhao Meng and Zheng Sixiao in Song Dynasty, Zheng Banqiao in Qing Dynasty and Wu Changshuo, a master of modern art, are all famous for painting orchids. Zhao Meng's "Orchid" painting is the earliest preserved orchid picture scroll in China at present, with the inscription: "In June, the heat in Hengxiang is steaming, and the fragrance is clear. He once moved to the west of Zhejiang, and he was only one or two stems at the age of one. "The orchids he painted are called unique by later generations. Dong Qichang, a great painter in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Orchid": "Green leaves are green, stones are planted, but the roots are not open. Under the mountain window, incense comes from paper. "This poem about orchids is novel and interesting. Regard Lan as a gentleman and be faithful to Lan. He wrote in the poem "Zhezhilan": "It is worthless to paint more spring breeze, and a sapphire is half a branch. The rising sun in the mountains, the lovesickness in February "; Another poem says, "The family of Zhu, Shi and Lan, Gan Kun is here on credit. "When the song is frozen with frost and snow, the greenery has been reduced." The elegant beauty of orchids is written from different angles. Zheng Banqiao's orchid paintings are good, and so is his calligraphy. It is said that "Banqiao writes words like orchids, and the waves are simple and graceful." Banqiao is like a text, and the leaves are beautiful. " The older generation of revolutionaries Dong, Zhu De and Chen Yi all like orchids. Dong has a high level of appreciation of orchids. He said: "Orchids have four spirits: clear air, clear posture, clear air and clear rhyme", which can be said to be a famous saying for appreciating orchids. Zhu De loved orchids all his life and admired their lofty elegance. 196 1 In March, 2000, when he was playing in Yuexiu Park, Guangzhou, he watched orchids with great interest, wrote a famous sentence, "Only the fragrance of orchids is just right, and five cities will be precious for a while", and recited in his poems about orchids: "When the east thaws, new buds appear, and spring blooms, you will see things. On the original national color of gfd, who wins orchids in Fang Qing? " There is also Chen Yi's poem "The Orchid": "The Orchid is in the valley, and no one knows it. Just for the sake of fragrance, those who seek Tao are all over the mountain, which shows the elegance and charm of orchids.
