The Legend and Story of Peach Blossom 1 In the spring of March, peach blossoms blossom, attracting many tourists. When peach blossoms are in full bloom, it is like this every year, and this year is even more prosperous. Especially on weekends, because there are so many tourists going to the forest park to see peach blossoms, the bus can hardly cope!
Peach blossom is not among the top ten famous flowers in China. There is an idiom called "every plum is vulgar", which is used to describe vulgar people or ordinary things. Peach blossom is really ordinary, ordinary, but its value lies in its ordinary and ordinary? This reminds me of another idiom: "peaches and plums don't say anything, but the flowers are bright." Why do peaches and plums talk to attract guests? As long as it has flowers and fruits, people will still walk around under it. If you take more people, you can find a way out!
Peach blossom is ordinary, but extraordinary. Of all the fruits in the world, only peaches can be called Xiantao; There are hundreds of trees in the world, but mahogany is a sacred tree. Legend has it that the third day of March in the Gregorian calendar is the Christmas of the Queen Mother. On this day, the Queen Mother will hold a grand flat peach party in Yaochi, and there are some immortals in the guest house. The heavenly queen is in charge of the banquets of the immortals of all walks of life and the marriage and childbirth of the world. She is the most respected fairy in the heavenly palace. The flat peach she planted is the most magical, with 1200 plants in front, small flowers and small fruits. Boiled for 3,000 years, people become immortal after eating, and their physique is light. Among them, there are 1200 plants with sweet flowers and cooked for 6000 years. When people eat Xia Ju, they can fly high and live forever. There are 1200 plants with purple patterns behind, which have been cooked for 9000 years. People eat with the life of heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon are the same. As peach is the fruit of fairy family, it is naturally regarded by China people as a symbol of good luck and longevity. When the elderly celebrate their birthdays, the children often send birthday peaches to them, wishing them health, longevity and happiness.
Although peaches can't really make people live forever, life is in harmony with the sky. But there is a certain scientific basis for peaches to raise people. Peaches have been an indispensable ingredient in the secret recipe of court beauty since ancient times. Regular consumption can make skin delicate and fair, and cheeks rosy. There is a proverb: "It is better to eat a fresh peach than a basket of rotten apricots." People use this proverb, its original intention is to compare their own feelings with the pursuit of perfection. Especially when men and women choose a spouse, they show that they want a good one, or they don't want it, and they will never do it! And fresh peaches correspond to rotten apricots, which shows the world's preference for peaches. In fact, no matter how expensive the fruit is, you can't eat it when it is rotten. Why only demote apricots? When I was a child, I often heard the old man say, "Apricots hurt people, peaches support people, and plums carry people to death." However, I only know why, but I don't know why. After consulting the theory of TCM health preservation, we know that peach has the effects of nourishing the middle energizer, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, moistening the intestines and relaxing bowels, and is especially suitable for people with symptoms such as deficiency of both qi and blood, sallow complexion, shortness of breath, constipation, amenorrhea, blood stasis and swelling and pain. On the contrary, apricots and plums should not be eaten more. Apricot meat tastes sour, hot and slightly toxic. Overeating can hurt bones and bones, and children are prone to sores and boils when they overeat. ...
Peach trees are treasures, and peach fruits are peaches; Peach stones can extract oil; Its branches, leaves, fruits and roots can all be used as medicine. Taoism also believes that peach trees are immortal trees, and peach trees have the function of "avoiding evil spirits". Wang Anshi, a reformer in the Song Dynasty, wrote a famous poem "January Day": "The firecrackers are one year old, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tu Su. Thousands of families always change new peaches for old ones every day. " The "Taofu" mentioned in the poem is a portrait of two door gods, Tea God and Lei Yu, or a red board with the names of these two door gods written on it. Hanging peaches on the door in the early morning of the first day of the first month is said to "ward off evil spirits". This custom has been passed down to this day, but times have changed. Among young people, I'm afraid not many people know about Fu Tao.
Peach wood is fine and hard, and can be used for wood blade or carving. People use peach swords to ward off evil spirits. According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao searched for famous doctors all over the world because of a headache, and he did not fully recover. Later, according to one of his military advisers, he hung a peach wooden sword at home to see if there was anything strange. He sent someone to order a good peach wooden sword in the Central Plains and hang it indoors. Sure enough, he recovered from his headache, and then went to the south to fight, always carrying a peach wooden sword to help him establish hegemony. The peach wooden sword used by Yunzhongzi to help Zhou Wang eliminate the evil spirits in the palace in the Romance of the Gods should also be a small sword, which almost made da ji, a Kyubi no Youko fox with a thousand-year fame, show the power of this sword! Today, peach swords to ward off evil spirits are still sold in many places, and they are expensive.
After talking about peach trees, I will talk about peach blossoms later, saying that peach blossoms are ordinary, but they are not ordinary. In the Book of Songs, praised by Confucius as "thinking innocently", there are poems praising peach blossoms. Such as: "Poetry Nan Zhou Yao Tao": "Tao Yao Yao, burning its China." There is also "South Call": "What is it, as beautiful as peaches and plums." From these two poems, the idiom "Li" is derived to praise the handsome young couple. Since then, there have been countless poems praising peach blossoms. Not only that, peach trees, peach blossoms, peach forests, and peach gardens, all word idioms containing the word "peach" often have positive significance. People call this paradise "Peach Blossom Garden". Tao Yuanming described an isolated "Xanadu" and an ideal and beautiful world in Peach Blossom Garden. People also call a teacher with many students and disciples "Li Taomen Wall" and praise the teacher with "Li Tao is all over the world", which means that he has many students and is everywhere; "Peach Blossom" is not only used to describe a woman's beauty, but also hides a touching love story. It is about an outing in Qingming Kyoto, Cuihu, where I met a young woman under a peach blossom in a yard. When I visited again the following year, I was amazed that things were different and wrote a quatrain: "Last year today, at this gate, people and peaches set each other off. People don't know where to go, but peach blossoms still laugh at the east wind. " Originally, the story ended here, leaving everyone with unlimited imagination. How nice! However, China people have the habit of being beautiful as adults and always want to have a loving family, so they made up a happy story. Cuihu finally got her wish and formed a happy couple with that beautiful woman. As an important story in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu's Three Oaths of Taoyuan are well-known and little known. Poet Li Bai said in his poem "To Wang Lun": "Peach Blossom Pond is deeper than thousands of feet, but not as good as Wang Lun." In the future, the world will use "Peach Blossom Pond" to describe profound friendship. ...
Among many peach blossom poems, Tang Bohu's Song of the Peach Blossom Temple is quite special:
"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Fairy in Taohuaguan; Peach Fairy cultivates peach trees, picks them and drinks them. When I wake up, I just sit in front of the flowers, and when I am drunk, I come to sleep under the flowers; Half drunk and half awake day after day, flowers bloom and fall year after year. I would rather die of old age than bow before horses and chariots; Cars, dust and horses are rich and interesting, and hops are poor. If wealth is compared with the poor, one is in peace and the other is in heaven; If I compare poverty to horses and chariots, he will have to drive me to leisure. Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through; I can't see the tomb of Hao Jie in Wuling. There are no flowers, no wine and no fields! "
In this poem, Tang Yin pretends to be the "Peach Fairy in the Peach Blossom Temple", showing a peaceful and happy broad-minded mind and a poetic life realm. He laughed and cursed, and it became an article, and it was natural. It has its own pride to regard the powerful people of chariots and horses as sharp soil and the "poor people" of hops as heaven and man. Sitting alone in the flowers, half drunk and half awake, has its own romance. A peach blossom poem is appreciated by later generations! But whether he is pretending to be crazy or bohemian, he is actually trying to avoid disaster, and he is dissatisfied and helpless with the powerful!
Go to the forest park to see the peach blossoms, feel them occasionally, ramble and write long stories! The flowering period of peach blossoms is very short. As the saying goes, "Peach blossoms bloom in March, and the wind and rain blow with a sieve". However, "falling flowers are not heartless things, and turning into spring mud protects flowers more."
The Legend and Story of Peach Blossom 2 "The Book of Songs" says that "Peach Blossoms fly away and burn their glory". Every spring, the faint fragrance of flowers is dyed with charming pink, which fills the earth with the breath of spring. There are many beautiful and magical legends related to peach blossoms.
Three thousand years ago in China, there lived several families in a quiet mountain village in the north. There lived a brave and hardworking young man on the top of the mountain. His name is Tao Zi, and he is deeply loved by the villagers because of his enthusiasm for helping others. There lived a girl named Xiaomei on the mountainside. She is smart, beautiful and good at singing and dancing. Tao Zi always regards Xiaomei as his sister and often goes to chat and sing with her. They are always full of laughter when they are together, and gradually they fall in love. Their love came quietly, nourishing their hearts. However, Xiaomei knows that she is the flower fairy of the Jade Emperor and will soon become an immortal. She loves Tao Zi deeply and is afraid that her departure will disrupt Tao Zi's life and hurt Tao Zi's heart. So one day, she told Tao Zi coldly: "In fact, I love a very strong man. If you can't control your emotions, it proves that you are not strong enough! When you are strong enough to suppress your feelings for me, you will get my love. " Since then, Xiaomei has never seen Tao Zi again.
What Xiaomei said was deeply imprinted in Tao Zi's heart. He is in a dilemma: if he loves Xiaomei, Xiaomei won't like herself. If you don't love Xiaomei, you will lose Xiaomei. His heart was boiling and cold, his face lost its color and his heart began to become stiff. In an encounter with Xiaomei, Tao Zi expressed her pain. He told Xiaomei, "My heart became cold and hard. How hard it is for me to love you! Sister and brother don't believe that you don't like me. I just want to see if your heart is as cold as my love! "
For these young people, life is no longer meaningful. They took out their cold hearts, verified each other and died together. Therefore, "love is colder than love" has become a topic that makes people cry for a while. The villagers were deeply moved by their affection and buried them together. That night, there was a lot of thunder and it rained all night. The villagers can hear the sound of rain hitting the path at home, and no one dares to go out and see what is happening outside.
At dawn, the rain stopped, and the villagers saw a small tree growing on their cemetery, which was full of pink flowers. It turned out that Tao Zi's body turned into a trunk. In order to commemorate him, the villagers called this tree a peach tree. A little beautification has made a peach blossom, and the soul has ascended to heaven. Because of the lust for human truth, Hua Xian's seat has been arranged in heaven. Tianmu read her true feelings and named her the Peach Blossom Empress, specializing in human love and seeking heirs.
That summer, people were surprised to find that peach trees were full of fresh fruits, like two overlapping hearts. People who know this story are afraid that peach trees will be sad, and always wait until the fruits turn red and soft before picking them.
Even so, there is still a shell inside the peach to protect a hard heart. Since then, people always use peach blossoms to express their love, and use hard peach wood as a symbol of peach to ward off evil spirits!
Peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, and she is as beautiful as rosy clouds. It is said that both Tang and Yang Guifei like peach blossoms. Thousands of peach blossoms are planted in the forbidden garden. Every time the peach blossom is in full bloom, it will be in Taoyuan. Every time the emperor will take it off and put it on his favorite princess's head, saying, "This flower can help her charm." Peach blossoms are so beautiful, so in ancient times, some people used peach blossoms to wash their faces, thinking that this would make their appearance more beautiful.
The legendary peach blossom god is Yang, a native of the Northern Song Dynasty. He defended the frontier for twenty years and repeatedly defeated the Khitan army. It may be that he resisted the invasion of foreign enemies like a peach tree can drive away fierce disasters, so he was named the Peach Blossom God. Cui Hu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a famous sentence, "People don't know where to go, but peach blossoms still smile at the spring breeze." .
There is also a legend circulating in our country: Kuafu chased the sun before he died and threw the Shenmu out, turning it into a peach forest. The earliest Spring Festival couplets in China were all made of red boards, also called Taofu. Until now, people still believe that mahogany products can ward off ghosts and evil spirits. Peach, on the other hand, means longevity. Give the old people a birthday and give them a plate of longevity peaches to show that they wish them a long and healthy life.
Peach blossom, sweet and pungent in taste, slightly warm in nature, enters the heart, lungs and intestines, and has the functions of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, moistening dryness and smoothing intestines, eliminating diseases and caring skin.
Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that peach blossoms are bitter, flat and non-toxic. Taking medicine can remove moisture, break urinary calculi, facilitate urination, relax bowels, relieve three worms, reduce swelling, expel pathogenic factors, treat abdominal pain and alopecia, and moisturize people's faces with tea.
Modern medical research shows that peach contains kaempferol, carotene, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, nicotinic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, high-quality protein, volatile oil, fat, cellulose, potassium, iron, phosphorus and zinc. Kaempferol is a good skin care product. Soaking wine with fresh peach blossoms and drinking a little every day can make your face rosy. But it is not suitable to take more, and it is easy to cause diarrhea after long-term use. Grind the peach blossom into powder, then grind it into powder with wax gourd kernel, and mix well with honey. Freckles, moles and dark spots can be removed by coating on the surface.
The Legend and Story of Peach Blossoms 3 Long, long ago, all the peach blossoms in this world were white, and later they turned red. It is said that there is such a legend.
Once upon a time, there was a couple. They are handsome and beautiful, very cute. People admire their feelings. However, things are unpredictable, until one day, everything has changed dramatically.
One spring, the young couple were watering and fertilizing a peach tree, which was planted when they were in love. Counting, it has been several years since that day.
They sang under the tree and fell in love very much. After a while, a group of immortals followed, and the young couple saw it and ran, but they were stopped by magic.
"Do you still want to go? Steal peaches, secretly descend to earth, and get married. You are guilty, so give me a punishment in heaven. " The immortals pointed at them in succession and said in chorus.
"Please, we really love each other." The young couple begged the gods. At this time, passers-by knew that the couple were immortals and talked about it one after another.
"No, unless you turn this white peach blossom red, hahaha." A fairy looked at them and smiled.
At this moment, the young couple looked at each other. The man touched the woman's head and said, "Take care of yourself. I'm leaving. If there is a fate, see you in the afterlife. "
The man finished, took out the knife in his pocket and stabbed himself in the heart. Fairy blood nourishes the roots, and peach blossoms gradually turn red.
The woman sadly buried the man under the peach tree. Since then, peach blossoms have become red and only bloom in spring. It is also said that this symbolizes that the love between men and women is as passionate and blazing as peach blossoms.
Legend and Story of Peach Blossom 4 At the beginning, when the Monkey King was still in the Heavenly Palace, he came to Yutaoyuan one day. When he saw the peaches were red and big, he was very happy. Wukong scratched his head and put them on the peach tree and ate them. Wukong ate and thought, "Xiantao is good, but the scenery in this garden is not as good as my grandson's Guo Hua. It is better to go back! " "You say go. Stumbling, Wukong wanted to jump off the Heavenly Palace and go back to Huaguoshan.
But when he first came to the worse gate, a man followed him. This person is none other than the peach blossom fairy in charge of Taoyuan. When the Great Sage found someone chasing him, he soon disappeared.
The Peach Blossom Fairy held down the cloud and looked down. She saw a green hill, several bays of green water and clusters of flowers. The more she watched it, the more she liked it, and even forgot about chasing Wukong.
It's not a waste to go and see, she thought. She thought about it, walked straight along the mountain road, and unconsciously left her own Wanghailou, entered the 35 th Palace, passed the Freedom Day, bypassed Fengkouling, got off the 18 plates, and came to a secluded place.
The fairy felt a little thirsty and looked around, looking for some water to drink. Suddenly I saw a small Momo forest in the distance, and I heard a sweet folk song coming from the forest. Peach Blossom Fairy was overjoyed and hurried to meet Song. She bypassed the peach tree and found that the singer was a young man picking peaches. The fairy was a little shy. She turned around and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, I am a traveler and I am thirsty. Can I have a bowl of water? " Later generations stopped singing when asked, and suddenly found a young woman standing in front of him as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade. She couldn't help blushing and quickly replied, "Sister, please eat some peaches to quench your thirst." After that, I picked some peaches from the tree and held them in my hand.
The Peach Blossom Fairy thanked her without shirking. She took one and took a bite. She frowned and shouted, "Oh, that's terrible!" The young man quickly said, "Sister, the peaches on this tree are the best in Yuntai Mountain!" " The fairy said in surprise, "How can the best peaches here be bitter and astringent?" The epigenetic replied, "I heard from the older generation that we used to have good peaches in this mountain. They were all red, big, sweet and crisp." Later, because the Queen Mother was going to hold the Flat Peach Festival, she took a fancy to our peaches and sent heavenly soldiers down to move all our peaches to the sky. "
When the young man said this, he saw a puzzled expression on the fairy's face and explained, "This peach grove was secretly hidden by my great-grandfather, and it was only later cultivated." The fairy suddenly realized this. She thought to herself, is it too sorry for the world that she has carefully managed the Peach Blossom Garden stolen from the ground for the Queen Mother for so many years? Taoxian looked at the sour and astringent peach again, and at the simple and honest young man in front of her, and could not help but lower her head and meditate.
At this time, the epigenetic stupidly said, "Sister, why don't you eat peaches?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy looked at him again, flushed with excitement, and thought, Why don't I follow the example of Sister Weaver, marry this hardworking and honest young man, live in the world for a long time, and cultivate peach trees with him, so that my wish can be realized.
So she turned to the younger generation and said, "Little brother, this peach is solid."
It tastes terrible now. Take me home and make a bowl of tea. "epigenetic began to reluctantly, but the thought of somebody else has already spoken, how to dodge? So he picked up the burden and walked home with the girl.
After turning several mountains, a hut appeared in front of me, desolate and standing against the mountain. The young man opened the door and invited the girl in to have a rest. He ran to boil water with a bundle of dry wood in his arms. The Peach Blossom Fairy walked into the room, looked around and found that the hut was simple but clean. There are also several woodcut peaches on the bamboo table, all kinds of peaches, white jade peaches and flat peaches ... the carvings are very similar. The fairy sighed secretly, and her affection for the younger generation unconsciously increased a few minutes. While looking at the room, the young man brought water in and gave it to the fairy. The fairy took it, took a sip, smiled, pointed to some carved peaches on the bamboo stick and asked, "Did you carve this?" Epigenetic awkward nodded. The fairy asked again, "Have you ever seen such a peach?"
"I only heard the old man say. But I really hope that our mountain can bear such peaches again. "
Hearing this, the fairy couldn't help showing admiration and looking at the young generation with deep affection. The young man couldn't help secretly looking at the fairy. The Peach Blossom Fairy thought for a moment, raised her blushing face, and summoned up her courage to say, "Little brother, although a clever woman is clever, it is difficult to cook without rice." I have an idea. I don't know if my brother wants to. My parents died, and now I'm alone. There are several good peach trees in my family that can be moved here. I wonder what my brother thinks. "
The Legend and Story of Peach Blossom Garden 5 According to legend, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a man named Pan who made an alchemy under a cliff 28 kilometers southwest of Taojiang County. After he became an immortal, the water used for alchemy was particularly clear.
One day, Taoxianzi wandered around here in a cloud and was attracted by it. I couldn't help falling to the clouds, playing by the well and throwing a peach blossom from my bun into the well water. Who knows that the peach blossom falls in the well water covered with fairy gas and rolls, changing from ten to ten. With the overflow of well water flowing downstream, the whole stream is full of peach blossoms all year round.
In addition, the Queen Mother, as a maid, took a fancy to a stonemason by the stream and married him privately. When she was in labor, she was discovered by the Queen Mother. After giving birth to the baby, she had to be forced to return to heaven. When leaving, the maid gave her husband a pair of waitresses and told him to put them on both sides of the stream. Hosta becomes peach tree, and this stream becomes taohuajiang. The girl gave birth to a man and a woman, a peach blossom like her mother, which is as beautiful as a fairy. Women on both sides of the Taiwan Strait bathe in streams, which is also beautiful in all aspects.
Taohuajiang is a beauty's nest with thousands of peach blossoms, which can't compare with many beauties ... "In the 1930s, the famous composer Li Jinhui wrote taohuajiang is a beauty's nest, which made taohuajiang famous all over the world. Indeed, taohuajiang is a place with beautiful mountains, beautiful water, picturesque scenery and pleasant climate. It is one of the top ten tourist areas in Hunan Province. Since then, taohuajiang has been hailed as a fairyland on earth.
The picturesque taohuajiang in taohuajiang originated in Longtang, Ningxiang County, and was called taohuajiang only after it entered Ziliangyan, Taojiang County. It is 27.8 kilometers long and has 83 bends. It passes through mountains and valleys. At taohuajiang Port in Taojiang County, it flows into Zijiang.
The peaks and rocks in the upper reaches of taohuajiang are connected with rapids and waterfalls. Whenever peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, the mountains and rivers on both sides of the middle and lower reaches set each other off, making people linger.
