"Flower Mirror" said: "Hemerocallis can be used as a mirror, one is suitable for men, and the other is forgetful." Cui Bao's Notes on Ancient and Modern Times also called Hemerocallis a girl without worries. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica said: "Xuan, it is advisable to go to the wetland, the winter and the moon are crowded, and the leaves are tender as cattails. The old and the new are the same generation, the stems are green at four o'clock, bloom in May, drooping at six o'clock, and autumn is over ... Today, orientals pick their flowers and dry them in the sun. They are called day lilies. " Daylily is named after its golden yellow flowers and because it looks like daylily. Call the day lily "Xie Yi Qiang Nuo"? Nine? UH huh? Hey? It is believed that more boys can be born, so there is a saying in the Book of Songs that "how to get grass, say the back of the tree".
Hemerocallis are called girls without sadness because people can forget this flower no matter how sad they are. Although this statement is exaggerated, according to "Notes on Materia Medica", "Hemerocallis are sweet and make people relaxed and forget their worries." "Life-prolonging Book" records: "Seedlings are vegetables, and the wind of eating makes people intoxicated, so they forget their worries." Ji Kang, a health care scientist in Jin Dynasty, also said, "Emotion leads to anger, while day lilies forget their worries." Regarding the medicinal use of girls without worries, Materia Medica Seeking Truth says: "Hemerocallis are sweet in taste and slightly cool in gas, which can dispel dampness, promote diuresis, clear away heat and relieve stranguria, quench thirst and relieve annoyance, open the chest and expand the diaphragm, making people calm and have no sense of depression." Materia Medica says: "Hemerocallis are everywhere in the fields. Pick flowers in May and take root in August. Today, with its tender seedlings, the clouds benefit the chest and diaphragm. " Fei recorded in "Medical Wine and Righteousness Injury": "If you work hard, the five internal organs will accumulate fatigue. The wounded, seven emotions are also injured. All troubles have a heart, everything has its shape, and the limited qi and blood are exhausted. ..... Too much sadness, suddenly unhappy, ... Hemerocallis forget sorrow soup. " Fei self-made Hemerocallis Forgetting Worry Decoction, and used one or two decoctions of Hemerocallis instead of water to decoct other drugs. Compendium of Materia Medica holds that it has the functions of "widening the chest and diaphragm, calming the five internal organs, removing insomnia and depression, clearing heat and nourishing the heart". Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that the law of the growth and decline of yin and yang in nature corresponds to the law of the growth and decline of yin and yang in human body. Hemerocallis, on the other hand, have the characteristics of opening in the morning and closing at dusk, which can conform to the law of the growth and decline of yin and yang in nature, wither at night and suffocate during the day. The ancients used it to treat insomnia and sadness.

Day lily, the scientific name of day lily, is used to accompany meals. It has been planted for more than two thousand years, and it is a unique local product in China. According to the Book of Songs, in ancient times, a woman planted day lilies in the North Hall of her home because of her husband's war, so as to get rid of her troubles and forget her busyness. From then on, the world called her a "worry-free girl".
It's hard for others to know how much this woman can forget. But she loves daylily, which is really insightful. Among the cousins of Liliaceae, HEMEROCALLIS HEMEROCALLIS is not a noble family, but a "small family". Look at its shape, slender leaves, tubular flowers, each with 6 petals, spreading outward, and the color is orange-red. Generally, there are several flowers in each flower, which bloom from summer to autumn. Unfortunately, I opened the door in the morning and closed it at dusk, so I left in a hurry. According to flower connoisseurs, daylily, with its lush green leaves and Xiu Xiu flowers, exudes a graceful, dignified and elegant temperament, which makes people feel cordial and pleasing to the eye. No wonder the ancients compared it to the voice of a loving mother. Su Dongpo once blessed Sun: "Although Hemerocallis are slightly flowered, they can be picked by themselves, and their hearts are embedded in graceful leaves." When he said "heart", he meant maternal love. Bai Juyi also wrote a poem: "Du Kang relieves boredom, and day lilies relieve worries." . He comforted Liu Yuxi, his confidant in his later years, for his life experience of repeated relegation. In fact, from a scientific point of view, a nameless flower itself does not contain any elements to relieve troubles. It just helps people to shift their emotions while watching, relax for a while and forget their troubles for a while. In 1950s, it was reported that when beloved Comrade Dong was on a business trip in other places, he sent four sentences to his wife He Lianzhi: "I am smiling, and I will repay a girl who has no worries for her children, and I will laugh until I am old" to encourage her not to worry too much about family affairs. Looking at mortals who often eat earthly fireworks, I am afraid that few people can be completely carefree. Besides, there are many people with lofty ideals in the world who are often worried about the fate of the country and the sufferings of the people. It can be seen that you have been worried about what you should be worried about, and let it go and forget it!
Common daylily can be divided into two categories: edible and ornamental. Edible flowers are mostly single petals, specially designed for picking flowers, steaming, drying and selling, commonly known as gold needles. Ornamental flowers are mostly double petals, specially designed for artificial potted plants or small garden scenes. These two kinds of flowers are relatively small. After cross improvement abroad, many new varieties of big flowers have been cultivated, each as big as a cup mouth, with as many as thirty or forty flowers, which is very spectacular. A few years ago, Guangzhou Garden College introduced more than 100 varieties, and the trial planting was generally successful. For example, the "Huang Yun dress" with yellow flowers and the "red and purple velvet" with red flowers are unique and have considerable ornamental value.
According to Li Shizhen's comment: "Daylily is sweet and cool, nontoxic, which can clear away heat, clear wine and remove gangrene, benefit the chest and diaphragm, and nourish the heart ..." It can be eaten and used as medicine, and eaten raw besides drying. It is to pick the flowers and cook them, with sesame oil and sauce, which is especially delicious. "Luohanzhai" in Lingnan menu contains gold needles as ingredients, which makes people never tire of eating. Longdong, Gansu Province is a famous Hemerocallis production base in China, and about 65.438 billion kilograms of lilies are sold well at home and abroad every year.
Hemerocallis originated in southern China. Wide adaptability, cold resistance, humidity resistance, drought resistance, sunshine resistance and semi-shade resistance. Generally, soil can grow, and sandy loam with good drainage and high fertility is the best.
