It's cherry season again. Imported cherry, now called cherry, is purple in color, which is translated from English. Of course, it has been very popular in recent years, and now it is also planted in China. Small red and yellow cherries are traditional cherries. In the long summer, two kinds of cherries came on the market, which lit up the dull vision in early summer, and because of their sweetness and rich nutrition, they became necessary beautiful fruits in early summer.
Cherry has a long history in China. More than 3,000 years ago, in the Zhou Dynasty, the climate was warmer than it is now, so cherries matured in February and March of the lunar calendar. As mountain products, it is also the earliest ripe Xia Guo among many fruits. Cherry was designated as a tribute of the emperor's ancestors. It is called Han Tao, which means that this kind of fruit is sweet and small, and it is often held in the mouth by birds like Yingying.
Cherry is bright red, as if it is the first time to feel the sunshine in summer, symbolizing bumper harvest and good luck. Because cherries are produced in deep mountains, their fruits are delicate and inconvenient to store and transport, so the value of cherries has been high since ancient times.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to climatic reasons, cherries matured in early summer, and the emperor's sacrifice was changed from spring to summer.
"From a keming, see you in the fire. Yun Qi peaks at dusk, and the scenery is fascinating in the morning.
Furong Churong, Han Tao can recommend. Fen is rich in all kinds of products, and it changes three times. "Song of suburban temples in Sui Dynasty, Five Suburbs Movement, Su He.

The bells are lined up, and the feast is preserved. It's nice to meet God. God is there. "Temple songs in the suburbs of the Sui Dynasty, five-suburb movement, red suburbs to meet God.
Cherry, as an important tribute to greet the summer gods and sacrifice ancestors, has appeared in solemn and gorgeous sacrifice songs and ceremonies many times. This is the tradition of inheriting Zhou's cherry sacrifice to heaven and ancestors.
Use hibiscus flowers for the long summer and cherries for the gods. This ceremony should be done three times to show solemnity. God, I know your miracles are beautiful and fiery cherries. I welcome you with music, but I am still satisfied.
At that time, except for the mountain people who planted cherries, few people in the city ate cherries except the emperor, because the fruit was too delicate and would go bad after a day or two. Things are rare, so naturally their market value is high.
"Under the lotus que, there will be thousands of officials, and Zhu Ying is forbidden to leave the aperture.
It was after the spring recommendation of Sleeping Garden that the birds in the Imperial Garden were disabled.
Returning to the saddle and fighting with the green silk cage, the middle makes the red jade plate tilt frequently.
Don't worry about getting angry when you are full, and the cane pith is cold. "Give Cherry (then Minister of Education)"
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty knew how to keep in touch with courtiers' feelings. Besides, the Tang Dynasty had a vast territory and rich welfare. On this long summer day, the emperor prepared the best fruit and entertained thousands of officials, but not hundreds. Although Wang used the allusion of the Spring Festival in the Zhou Dynasty, it was actually a long summer. The cherries produced in Luoyang, Zhengzhou and Imperial Garden were picked, packed in blue bamboo cages and immediately sent to Chang 'an for a banquet of thousands of people.
The eunuchs in the palace shuttled back and forth and piled cherries on the plates in front of the officials. Such fresh and lovely fruit was rudely eaten by everyone. Although we eat too many cherries and get angry, we have prepared rock sugar water for those weak senior officials. This is really luxurious. A kilo per person is also a ton. This is the elegance and prosperity of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty.
You can't help eating cherries, because they are bad. Many officials are waiting for this benefit every year. Because it is not cost-effective to buy with wages.
But the demand gave birth to the market, and cherries were widely planted in Chang 'an's yard. Some people even developed a large cherry forest, enjoying flowers in early spring and selling fruits in early summer. But the best cherries are definitely not made in Chang 'an, but in Luoyang, Shandong and Wudi.
"Han Tao said Wu Dong most, fragrant and delicious.
Qiaqia looked up with thousands of flowers, and two or three flowers danced on her face.
Birds will catch fire when they steal food, and people will break pearls when they struggle.
It's a pity that the days after the Ming Dynasty should be gone forever. "Wu Cherry by Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty.
The cherries in Luoyang and Shandong are to be supplied to the royal family. After being transported to Beijing, the loss is large, and most people can't afford it, but if they are officials in Jiangnan, it is different. After middle age, Bai Juyi made a history of Suzhou and Hangzhou, which was the best. The cherries here are bright and fragrant. Looking up, there are thousands of them overhead. Moreover, the cherry trees are not tall, and the fruits are in front of us. You can eat without your hands.
In the cherry harvest season, picking is simply rude. Not without rudeness. This thing is fragile. If you don't take it off, it will fall to the ground in three or two days, and it will rot in the rain.
This characteristic of cherry has not changed until now. Most cherries sent from the place of origin are kept fresh with ice packs and sealed boxes, and the time cannot be too long.
So cherry has been a famous fruit since ancient times, and its value lies there. Beautiful women in the cities of the Tang Dynasty ate cherries, but they couldn't eat them as vigorously as they did. It's all drama.
In fact, Bai Juyi was not the first person to write Cherry Mouth, but Li He, a genius who died young.
"Note that the cherry is small and the laurel leaves are thick.
Lian Xiao's make-up is beautiful, and the night bill is reduced. "Li He" angered the public "
I believe that the lip makeup in the Tang Dynasty is very beautiful, because the Tang Dynasty advocated dazzling red. Or people also call this kind of mouth cherry mouth, but it is not Bai Juyi who writes poems, but Li He. He wrote about a woman waiting for her lover or husband in depression. When she was in her prime, her mouth was like a cherry with cherries in it.
Of course, Bai Juyi, a famous scholar, has two poems about cherry mouth.
"Cherry broken, jade hanging low.
The branches are soft and graceful, and the hands are tender. "Excerpts from Bai Juyi's Yang Liuzhi Twenty Rhymes.
Yang Liuzhi is Bai Juyi's Yuefu, turning it into a new sound, confusing poetry with the sound of folk songs, which is quite emotional. It says here that when you start talking and singing, your mouth will crack like a cherry.
"Cherry Su Fan mouth, willow leaves small waist." Bai Juyi's Tang Dynasty Sentences
Of course, the most famous is his domestic showgirl Su Fan, who is often entertained by Bai Juyi for her moving songs and dances. This cherry mouth is not only written by this woman, but also means that her singing skills are moving and her entertainment is ingenious.
Bai Juyi's influence is greater than Li He's, and cherry mouth has become the standard makeup of beautiful women in past dynasties. It doesn't matter if your mouth is big, as long as your lips are red and cherry-shaped, which is both bright and auspicious. At least this makeup was still used by the court in the late Qing Dynasty.
"The water is clean and jade is clean, and the next Cai Chengwei is in danger.
Red cherries contain snow, and heartbroken voices sing sunshine. "Two Geisha Poems by Li Shangyin in Tang Dynasty"
This poem is actually very durable. The singer was beautifully dressed, with cherry red lips and white teeth. She couldn't cry when she heard the news that the northern city was broken. She kept her makeup bright and sang a song of 30% sunshine for her guests.
However, "Three Stories in Yangguan" is a famous farewell song. She can only express her feelings euphemistically in songs, but she should be temperate. Because you can't vent in front of your family. This makes that red and green have a particularly sharp sense of eschatology.
Here, cherries and willows are used in pairs. It's late spring and early summer, when red, thick and green are thriving, but it's the most heartbreaking triple sunshine. I often wonder, did this farewell song of the Tang Dynasty really originate from this depressing early summer?
This poem, whether in color or emotion, is very profound and enduring.
Cherry is dotted with green in early summer, which makes summer more fresh and bright. Do you want to write a poem when you see the red cherry?
The first coat is better than snow to explain the love and beauty in the poem for you. .
