There is an idiom called "Spring Xuan Wang", which means that both spring trees and day lilies are flourishing, indicating that both parents are healthy. Because Toona sinensis has a long life, the ancients used it as a metaphor for their father. Hemerocallis (not just Hemerocallis here) stands for "maternal love". This allusion comes from Meng Jiao's Poems of Wandering Children: "Hemerocallis are born in the hall, and wandering children travel all over the world. Kindly leaning against the hall door, you can't see the day lilies. "
Edible day lilies generally appear in vegetable fields, not in greening and beautifying the environment. When people say a girl without sadness, they mean edible daylily. Zhang Hua in the Eastern Jin Dynasty questioned the "worry-free" of day lily in natural history: "Day lily makes people happy and forget their worries, so it is called a girl without worries." Ji Kang, a famous writer in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, once mentioned in the article "On Health Preservation" that "Albizia Albizia is ashamed and angry, and day lilies forget their worries". Bai Juyi has a poem that says "Du Kang relieves boredom, and daylily relieves anxiety", which comforts Liu Yuxi, his confidant, for many times.
From the medicinal point of view, "Notes on Materia Medica" says: "Hemerocallis are sweet and make people relaxed and forget their worries." "Life-prolonging Book" wrote: "Young seedlings are vegetables, and the wind of eating makes people intoxicated, so they forget their worries." According to Chinese Materia Medica, the medicinal part of day lily is whole grass. Bitter, pungent and warm in nature. Liver meridian and bladder meridian. Has the effects of removing blood stasis, relieving swelling, expelling pathogenic wind, relieving pain, promoting granulation and healing sore.
Modern medicine has proved that day lily can not only strengthen the brain and resist aging, but also clear away heat and toxic materials, improve eyesight, lower cholesterol, reduce liver fire, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, prevent insomnia and relieve depression, which can really make people forget their troubles.
