What is fog pine?
I. The origin of the name
The word "rime" first appeared in "The Woods" compiled by the Song Dynasty (420-479 AD) in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Its explanation is: "The cold is as cold as a pearl, but the sunlight is gone. Qilu is called rime." This is the word "rime" first recorded in 1000 years ago.
Second, the formation process
Rime is a kind of white or milky opaque ice layer attached to the windward surface of ground objects (such as branches and wires). It is also formed by condensation of supercooled water droplets. However, these supercooled water droplets did not fall from the sky, but floated in the airflow and were taken away by the wind. This kind of water drop is much smaller than the raindrops that form rain, and is called fog drop. In fact, it is also the cloud droplets that make up the cloud. When they touch the surface, they will freeze quickly. Because there are many gaps between water droplets in the rime, the rime is completely opaque white.
Third, the appearance characteristics
Rime is beautiful and bright, crystal clear, like a blooming flower, and is called "ice flower"; Because when the cold current hits the earth and everything loses its vitality, it is called "Ao Shuang Flower", which blooms in the cold like snow lotus and proud snow on the mountain and has strong charm.
Because it is a beautiful work of art endowed by nature, just like "resplendent buildings and beautiful jade", it has profound implications and brings rime to human beings to prolong their beautiful feelings, so it is called "Qionghua"; Because it is like a magnificent falling snow hanging all over the branches, dotted with flowers in China, the landscape is magnificent and charming, becoming the most beautiful scenery in the north. It makes people feel relaxed and happy, arouses the elegance of scholars and poets from all walks of life, sings poems and paints, and expresses their feelings, and is called "Snow Willow".
