It is said that the time is too long, the waiting time is too long, and it is too late. It is not only a criticism of latecomers, but also a mockery, which does not hurt people's face.

In ancient poetry, "yellow flower" refers to chrysanthemum. For example, Wang Anshi wrote a poem about chrysanthemums: "Last night, the west wind crossed the courtyard forest, blowing yellow flowers and gold everywhere." Li Qingzhao's word "Slow Sound": "Yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground and worn out. Who can pick it now? " There is also her "Drunk Flower Shadow": "Don't forget me, the curtain rolls west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers."

So "yellow flower" refers to chrysanthemum. In ancient times, there was a custom of enjoying chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival. Su Shi has a masterpiece of appreciating chrysanthemums, and Hanhui Building, a heavy drinker in Nanxiangzi, gave it to Xu Junyou, in which "everything is always a dream, so rest." Huang Die is also worried tomorrow. " Sentence.

Among them, "Tomorrow" refers to the second day of the Double Ninth Festival, and "Huang Die is also worried about tomorrow" refers to missing the best opportunity to enjoy chrysanthemums on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, and coming back after the festival, the flowers have withered and the bees and butterflies are boring, which is a metaphor for how times have changed.

"Cucumber vegetables are cold" evolved from "Huang Die will be sad tomorrow". Just because Su's poems were so elegant, the people swallowed the dates and found them difficult to digest, so they passed them on. First, they turned "yellow flowers" into "day lilies" and later they became "cucumbers".

The reason for this misunderstanding is that the word "butterfly" also has certain joint responsibility. Isn't it homophonic with food? So Dongpo's Yellow Flower finally became a "cucumber dish" and was put into a "dish". It won't be "cold" if you come late!
