The climate in the southern region is always sunny and rainy, cold and hot, warm and cold. However, the east wind thawed, scattered for rain; spring thunder hibernation, grass and trees sprouting. Cold winds, cold rain and damp fog can't stop spring. With the change of seasons, the spring breeze, should be born; dashing spring rain, drifting to.

Speaking of "spring", the first thing that comes to mind is to enjoy the flowers. After the spring, the ground warms up, the spring breeze blows, the new buds sprouting, the spring is flourishing. With the plum blossom called "the first branch of the east wind", smile to welcome the flying snow in the sky, in the iron bones of the gnarled branches of the tip of the bloom, the cold spitting stamens, snow and open, leading the group of flowers, to pass the flower letter. Immediately after, it is in the mountains and rivers above the wilderness, spreading a group of flowers compete with the embroidery of the picture: the wild cherry contending for spring, camellia blossom, the spring competition, the fragrance of Tong Dai, Ruixiang fragrance, magnolia fragrance ...... a variety of flowers should be opened, competing for the first, each do not give way to the other, to show a school of thriving enchanting scene. At a time, the daffodil begonias, not enough to appreciate the magnolia red apricot, not enough to see the flora and fauna, rush like a race to open, tender red and green, pink and jade ornaments, show off the color of the fight, a group of flowers, the earth embellished into a large natural garden. In this spring time, when you are excited to come to the wilderness, enjoy the landscape garden garden in the group of flowers in the gorgeous picture, must be interested in, the spirit of the mind drift, the mood is good, can not help but from the heart of the natural derivation of heaven and earth, the creation of God, for the blossoming of flowers, flowers, beautiful flowers, flowers of spring excitement point praise!

In early spring, when people walk into the countryside farms, everywhere you can see "into the mountains everywhere not flowers, near and far, high and low road do not know" the beautiful scenery. In recent years, with the development of large-scale agricultural planting and rural tourism, many places to develop new planting of orchards, often thousands of hectares. Once you wait until the time of flowering, when you come to these "flowers and fruits" in the mountains, only to see the mountains, dyeing all the fragrance, everywhere flower branches, brilliant as clouds, fragrant wind gusts, bees and butterflies, feel really into the "sea of fragrant snow". Put you in the sea of flowers, simply can not distinguish between east and west, north and south, as mesmerized in the flowers, instantly for the stunning and shock. At this time, as long as you slightly ponder down, savor the Song Dynasty Zhao Kwai's "flower viewing" poem: "People enjoy the March days of the Qingming Festival, but also with the people to appreciate the ten thousand gardens; steal leisure wine hairpin flowers to go, not like the children's laughter and noise." The poem must have a sense of the sentiment of flower-viewing, a sense of meaning, a sense of the same sentiment, and a sense of understanding. Nowadays, when people are in the high-rise buildings in the city, y immersed in the world of materialistic desires, hurriedly running around in the workplace, life seems to be confined in a closed nest. If in the spring breeze and warm early spring, can use the rare holiday, put aside many trivial matters, squeeze out some free time, to the spring field to walk, wandering in the boundless green, in the park, in the wilderness, in the roadside, in the mountains, see the tender green grass grow freely, see bright flowers bloom unrestrained, feel the tide of flowers, the fragrant wind, butterflies flying, the scene of laughter, this is what a lucky thing! What a lucky thing it is to feel the tide of flowers, the fragrant wind, the colorful butterflies and the laughter!

In addition to the wild to enjoy the flowers, people feel very interesting things, is to the mountains and jungles to "pick green". The "picking" here refers to the activity of collecting various edible green plants in the wild in early spring and processing them into health food. This is the same as the traditional Han lion dance activities into the climax, "the lion" hunting hanging in the high "green vegetables", as its reward "liyi", folk called The routine performance of "Caiqing" seems to be somewhat similar in meaning, but it is not the same concept. Since ancient times, people often take advantage of excursions in the spring, into the mountains and streams, waterfront sandbar, fields, by the way, the corresponding picking activities, which is also a consistent tradition since ancient times.

In the vast southern region, spring is a rainy season. Every time after the hibernation, in the rumble of thunder, sheer rain from the sky drifted down, dashing, pattering, noiselessly moisturizing the parched land, bringing the vitality of plant growth. All of a sudden, the spring buds began to sprout, the spring grass began to grow, and the wilderness was gradually flooded with a faint new green, which is exactly in line with the meaning of the poem, "The light rain on the sky street is as moist as crispy, and the color of the grass is nowhere to be seen from afar". On this warm spring day, a variety of well-known and unknown wild vegetables, such as ferns, absinthe, ramie, shepherd's purse, fishweed, seaweed, sage, etc., from the cracks of the soil quietly poked their heads out, curiously peeping at the blue sky, enjoying the sunshine and rainfall of the soothing, and constantly stretching the waist of the slender body, will be their own tender and delicate green body, exposed in the spring field.

At this time, it is the people put on light spring clothes, with a smile, step out of the closed door, across the narrow streets, out of the hustle and bustle of the city, to the vast wilderness, the best time for spring excursions. These rush to the warm and sunny weather, to the outskirts of the plains of the people walking in the spring, especially many female tourists, often in the green roaming, flower viewing at the same time, will also be in the creek banks and sandbanks, river valleys and slopes, the mountains and jungles in the long time to stop, turn around, looking around, with an excited and discerning eyes, scrutinize the foot of the just budding plant shoots, looking for their own hearts! "mountain treasures", to be picked and packed up at the right time. They are like a small bird that just flew out of the cage, flying freely in the deserted mountains and fields, breathing the fresh air rich in oxygen ions, greeting each other, chattering, shouting, drilling around in the mountains and fields, searching for, and attentively found the need to pick things, and from time to time stooped down, picking up those green, fresh and tender wild vegetables, loaded into the pockets that you carry with you. Maybe just spend half a day's work, they will have an unexpected harvest, will bring their own bag, crammed full, stuffed with bulging, look tired but excited to walk down the mountain. Of course, these loaded return "trophies", not only can bring people to the mouth of the benefits, but also allows people to experience the joy of picking.

These natural growth in the woodlands between the wild vegetables, absorb the essence of the sun and moon, to get the nourishment of the mountains and rivers, rich in minerals and organic matter in the environment, growth, not subject to chemical fertilizers and pesticides erosion, no heavy metals and industrial wastewater contamination, absolutely safe and secure all-natural green food. In the often heard of unscrupulous traders caught selling toxic vegetables, vegetable farmers over the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and plant growth hormones, the safety and health of vegetables is difficult to guarantee the quality of the market environment, naturally, people are sought after. People will pick them down, carefully brought home, after some careful selection and cleaning, you can cook ready-made dishes, or make fashionable food, arm such as spring rolls, dumplings, do know, shabu-shabu hot pot and so on. Whether it is boiling brush braising, or cooking frying frying, how do you fancy, as you wish to cook, to ensure that the color and flavor are complete, fragrant and delicious, tender and soft, teeth and cheeks, the taste is excellent. And rich in nutrients, beauty, remove wind and dampness, clear heat and detoxification, with a strong tonic effect, so people tend to eat.

The Hakka region in the south, belonging to the subtropical monsoon climate, long in the high temperature and high humidity climate environment, historically known as the "miasma of the land". Due to the influence of climatic and environmental factors, people are very susceptible to diseases such as wind-cold-dampness paralysis, fever, carbuncles, sores, pneumonia, bronchitis, and so on. As an important part of Chinese herbal medicine, wild vegetables have excellent therapeutic effects. For example, the medicinal function of amaranth is to clear away heat and detoxify the toxin, cool the blood and stop bleeding, and it can lower the blood sugar concentration, keep the blood sugar constant, and have a therapeutic effect on diabetes mellitus. Another example is dandelion, which is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, trace elements and a variety of vitamins, disperses cold and relieves pain, soothes the liver and relieves gallbladder, and can treat mumps and chronic osteitis. Another example is the fern, it is still exported to Japan's rare wild vegetables, with tranquility and heat, lowering the gas phlegm, diuretic tranquility, moistening the lungs, tonifying the deficiency of the Shu Luo, clearing the effects of heat and toxicity, the main treatment of vomiting blood, dysentery, uterine hemorrhage, spermatorrhea and other diseases. Therefore, the folk have "all grass is medicine" said, but every year, the opening of the medicine market, or the usual medicine stalls, many wild vegetables and dried products and flowers and grass, will become a crowd of people to buy Chinese herbal remedies.

In our hometown, people in order to taste the freshness of wild vegetables, while its medicinal value to the best state, to achieve the best therapeutic effect, will change the way the wild vegetables made of specialty foods, so that it is more unique local flavor. People will just pick down the wild vegetables, prepared into a variety of different meat fillings, used to wrap dumplings, spring rolls, do dustbin know. Or, they mix it with rice flour, tapioca flour, taro flour, etc., and pound it with a wooden whip and a pestle to make various kinds of mets, such as Ai Met, Ramie Met, and Baek Tou Kung Met, etc. These wild vegetables are made from wild vegetables. These wild vegetables as raw materials for food, or steamed or boiled, or fried or deep-fried, green and tender, smooth and delicious, unique flavor, and therapeutic effect is remarkable, is indeed a rare spring seasonal food, so people are full of praise.

These wild vegetables, in the past years of famine and distress, was once called "rescue grass". Whenever encountered in the spring shortage season, these wild vegetables picked from the mountains, often as a substitute for food, played an important role in the famine as a life-saving rations, sustaining people's hope of survival. However, things change, time has changed, now the wild vegetables have long abandoned the mission of saving the famine, because of its natural and pollution-free quality, become a popular green food with a characteristic flavor.

It is said that the "spring" folk customs, as far back as the pre-Qin Dynasty began to form, a long time ago, and then into the fashion, and gradually evolved into the most important travel customs of the Han people. Since ancient times, every year on the 12th day of the 2nd month of the lunar calendar, the 3rd day of the 3rd month of the lunar calendar, and the subsequent Qingming Festival, spring trekking excursions, spring purification and sacrifice have been held in various places. The festival is also known as the Ching Ming Festival, where spring trekking and purification activities are practiced, which continue to this day.

During these traditional festivals of the Han Chinese people, people are happy to go out into the wilderness and go hiking in groups. At the same time, according to local customs, will organize cuju, swinging, kite flying and other games, to exercise, relaxation, feelings of life, conversion to nature. Therefore, with the "spring" related activities, inherited for thousands of years, unceasing, colorful, and become a piece of government and the people **** appreciation, young and old, quite popular with the general public to enjoy the fun.

The famous calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, known as the "Sage of Calligraphy", Wang Xizhi, in his popular "Lanting Collection Preface", recounted that he was in the Jin Dynasty in the ninth year of the first three months of March, "on the Festival", invited a group of prestigious officials and eunuchs, to the mountain Yin in Huiji, and then invited them to the Lanting Collection Preface. In the Preface to the Pavilion Collection, he recounts that he invited a group of prestigious officials, eunuchs and literati to the Lanting Pavilion in Shanyin, Huiji, to drink wine and compose poems, and held a grand ceremony of purification. In this famous fugue, he showed us the beautiful natural landscape, simple local customs; let us appreciate the elegant and elegant style of the celebrities, the openness of the ancient wind, and became the description of the spring tour of the goblet of the work.

Wang Anshi, a famous writer in the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem titled "On the Stream of Tiantong Mountain": "The stream is clear and the trees are old and pale, and the walk through the stream is in the spring sun. The stream is deep and the trees are dense, and no one is there, but only the fragrance of the flowers crossing the water." From this poem describing "trekking in spring", it shows the author's inner realm of indulgence in landscape, returning to nature, and pursuing indifference and tranquility, which can be said to be full of interest, far-reaching and exquisite, and is worth savoring. From this, we can imagine, from ancient times to the present, no matter at what time, whenever the season crosses the threshold of spring, also ushered in the heyday of literary creation.

In early spring, when it is a good time to go on a spring excursion, the wilderness is blowing in the breeze, the grass is green, the flowers are beautiful, the warbler sings and swallows, and everywhere is a pleasant spring light. We are happy, warmly invite each other, traveling together to the elegant and fresh landscape, in the warmth and warmth of the sun, the spring breeze, facing the blue water, blue sky, red flowers and green trees of the pleasant scenery, enjoy the gift of nature's beauty. At this time, whether it is a high official riding a high horse, or a short jacket and long skirt of the common people; whether it is wearing a crown and sash of the `Elegant family; or cloth brown shirt of the ordinary people. Countless talented men and women, red men and green women, regardless of the three religions and nine streams, respectability and inferiority, all of them with a joyful smile, one by one, joyful and glowing, happy to beat the rhythm and singing, treading the waves, long songs and short songs, and singing and walking. Especially those who are sentimental literati, the flow of the scholar, in the face of the green hills and green water in front of us, charming scenery, immersed in the infinite good times, one by one, the mind drifting, the thoughts surging, poetry, chanting oh. They are out of the beautiful springtime of the heart attachment, for the phenomenon of life's unique understanding, for the good feelings of the earth's years, will certainly see and hear their own, with romantic and elegant words recorded down. And artfully processed and embellished, interpreted into a delicate line of poetry, condensed into beautiful lines, creating a reflection of the spring grace and charm of the magnificent chapter, which a goblet of song, a chant and a sigh, all of them brilliant, so that people can not put down the scrolls, stirring the heart. They have survived in the future generations of masterpieces, as vast as the sea, sweat cattle, can be in a voluminous sea of books at your fingertips.

China's earliest collection of poems, "The Book of Songs", is the beginning of ancient poetry since the beginning of written records, mainly depicting the reality of the Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn period of farming society. The poems about "trekking in spring" and "picking green" in the Book of Songs account for a large proportion of the poems, mainly reflecting the content of agricultural farming, men and women in love, and so on. He picks kudzu and is not seen for a day, as in March! He picks Xiao Ruoxi, and a day without seeing it is like three autumns! He picks ai, and a day's absence is like three years of age!" Based on the mood described in this poem, we can surmise that this is a love song sung by a young man to his sweetheart. On a certain midsummer morning, a woman dressed in white, carrying a small bamboo basket, came to pick wild vegetables in a grassy field ridge. Her slender figure and beautiful face were seen by a young man who woke up early. The boy fell in love with her beauty, and waited by the side of the road. Because of the long wait is not seen, so he issued a "day without seeing, like three autumns" sigh!

In the Book of Songs, there are many chapters reflecting this, such as "Cai Wei", "Cai Stellarian Artemisia", "Cai Apples", "Rolling Ears" and so on, most of them are related to the spring picking in the mountains and fields, and the popular custom of "trekking in the spring" at that time, more or less there is some intrinsic connection. One of the songs, "Picking Vegetables", reads: "Picking Vegetables is also called stopping. I said that I would return and I would return, and I could not stop. In the past, when I was gone, the willows were clinging to me; today, when I am coming to think, the rain and snow are falling." As long as you repeatedly recite these verses, you will be floating from the heart of a "spring" picture, let a person's thoughts haunting, feelings floating.

Since the Classic of Poetry, poems describing "trekking in spring" have been as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, and as numerous as the crucian carp, which is hard to count. However, tasting all the poems about "spring trekking", the most admired and mind-blowing, should be the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Gu's "Question City South Village": "Last year today this door, the face of the peach blossoms reflecting each other red. I don't know where the faces have gone, but the peach blossoms are still smiling in spring." It is said that this poem originated from Cui Gu's personal experience, which hides a beautiful and touching love story. The general idea of the story is that Cui Gu went to Chang'an City to prepare for the examination, and when he went out of the city on the Ching Ming Festival, he went to a mountain village to ask for water to drink, and came across a pretty village girl leaning on the peach blossom, with her eyes full of love and shyness. Cui Gu took his leave, the feelings of love, can not be dismissed. The following year, the Qingming, visited again, did not see the village girl, had to write a poem doorway, and left in frustration. After a few days, he was upset and came to visit again. An old man came out and told him that the woman was hurt by the poem and died of hunger strike. Cui Gu mourned and cried over the corpse. Perhaps the truth touched God, and the woman came back to life. The old man was the woman's father, and promised to marry her to Cui Gu, which led to a beautiful marriage that has been memorized throughout the ages.

This legend has many twists and turns, ups and downs, and a perfect, fascinating ending, and is known as the "Peach Blossom Fate". Poet Cui Gu due to the wonderful experience in the spring, met a beautiful woman, flowers as a matchmaker, heavenly gift of good fortune, and finally married, the plot of the heaven and earth, let a person overwhelmed by sadness. "The face of peach blossom" beautiful and romantic legend, so suave, so dashing and handsome, so poignant and touching, so lingering and sentimental, no one is not envious of love story, no one does not aspire to the ancient beauty of the story, has been countless generations of the elegant gentleman respected, countless of men and women admire, is indeed a long-established destiny of the heavens, the fate of the good fortune! It is indeed a classic of love with a long-lasting destiny and a good relationship. At the same time, because of this rare spring encounter, the interpretation of a beautiful affair, but also gave birth to a beautiful poem recited for thousands of years, for the poet has won the immortal name of the poem.

The poem shows a seemingly simple life experience, but out of the people **** the same life experience, déjà vu, evocative, read the heart moving ears, breathtaking, let a person clap! In everyone's life, if you can encounter a romantic and beautiful encounter, experience a heartfelt love, it will be so lucky! However, the spring breeze, the peach blossom is still the same, the voice is still there, the face of the people where to find? Many beautiful things in the world, or can be encountered and can not be sought, or can be sought and can not be encountered, all have their inherent karma and determinants, can only leave the world unlimited imagination, to bring a lot of feelings of life! Life is limited, life is priceless; the cycle of seasons, the years are quiet; let nature take its course, what more do you want!
