Narcissus prose
Chapter 1: The daffodils are beautiful and fresh
There are many poems praising daffodils in ancient times, which say, "It's amazing to bloom with water, and it's a bone and a jade as a muscle when water sinks": "It's better to know the age by firecrackers in the distance, and every household is fragrant with daffodils". Modern prose describing daffodils is also common in newspapers. In spite of this, I still want to write about daffodils. If I don't write, I'll be sorry for her like an old friend.
daffodil, a perennial plant of Amaryllidaceae, has flat and green leaves, white petals, apricot stamens and a faint fragrance. She is as pure as ice and pure as jade, and can be called a national beauty. Most people think that Zhangzhou in Fujian is the origin of Chinese narcissus, but there is another saying: the origin of narcissus is in Hunan. In the Ming Dynasty, an official who retired from Henan brought back two narcissus bulb when passing through Dongting Lake. Hunan visitors actually settled in Fujian.
since I left my post last year, I have enough time to control myself, so I have learned to raise flowers. Because I love daffodils, of course, the first one is daffodils. The daffodils and flower balls raised this year were given to me by a gardener. He specially sent me two copies of six pieces each. I have left my post for good luck and good luck. He also told me: "These narcissus bulb were sent by colleagues in Zhangzhou, and they were produced in Jiuhu Town at the foot of the Garden, where the special soil quality and superior climatic conditions gave birth to the best narcissus".
since my old friend gave me the best gift, and it was the first generous gift I received after leaving my post, I certainly took good care of it. I specially scrubbed a blue-and-white porcelain basin made in Jingdezhen with a diameter of 3 cm and a depth of 5 cm, with a round flat bottom and high feet. Speaking of the origin of this porcelain basin, it is quite interesting. When I left my post last year, the comrade who took over my job gave me two pots of flowers given to him by others, and chose a good one. When he gave it to me, it contained rich bamboo like a pagoda. This pot of rich bamboo may have been well raised in other people's hands, but it withered in my hands in a few days. So, I have no pity to abandon it and make room for this porcelain basin. Raise my favorite daffodil.
The gardener who sent me to narcissus bulb said that daffodils can take root and sprout with only a spoonful of clear water, grow green leaves, draw out graceful flower arrows, and produce noble and elegant flowers. Narcissus bulb thought of pebbles when it was time to put the pot in. It happened that my little grandson and nephew picked up pebbles as big as eggs and as small as pigeon eggs on the beach of Long Island during the summer vacation, so I "asked" them and put them to use. Firstly, twelve narcissus bulb pieces were evenly placed in the porcelain basin, and then pebbles were placed around the daffodils to play a fixed role. Several spoonfuls of clear water were slowly poured into the basin, so colorful pebbles surrounded by white, chubby daffodils with tender buds really outlined a beautiful landscape!
I carefully put the daffodil basin on the balcony with double glass. Change the water every day. Narcissus bulb was taken out when changing the water in the first few days, and then put in after changing the water, so carelessly, the daffodil roots fell off a lot. Later, I took a small spoon to scoop out half or three quarters of the old water, and then added new water, so that the daffodils would not fall off naturally. After careful nursing for about three weeks, the daffodils actually bloomed. The white petals hold the egg-yellow stamens, emitting a light and elegant fragrance. I leaned down and kissed it gently, and the aroma was breathtaking, which really made people forget the customs. Because my study is connected with the balcony, the whole study is filled with light fragrance and warmth, which really has a kind of artistic conception of "a pot of jade-blossom Man Tangchun"!
After this artistic conception was created, I invited some old friends, of course, the gardener who sent me to narcissus bulb, to my study for tea and flowers. The gardener was very happy when he saw that he had given me narcissus bulb. Under my care, the leaves were green and the flowers were bright, and he told an intriguing story about daffodils. According to legend, there was a beautiful but strong girl, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea wanted to marry her as a fool. She refused to obey her to death, so the Dragon King imprisoned her in the lotus bushes, leaving only a clear water. Over time, she finally became a graceful daffodil. From this legend, the world called daffodils "Lingbo Fairy".
After listening to this beautiful legend, I felt more pity for the daffodil, and moved her from the balcony to my desk, so that the "Fairy Lingbo" could accompany me day and night. I sometimes take out a good book and hold it in my hand; Soak a cup of green tea, send it to your mouth, the tea smells poetic and elegant, savor your quiet life carefully, recall your childhood's childlike interest, and look forward to a bright future. Do you still feel lonely in this way? I always want to buy a daffodil scale root before the Spring Festival, carefully raise it in the clear water of a flowerpot, and the water is full of colorful rain flowers and stones. Almost every other day, I will change into a pot of clear water, and I will have yellow and white petals in the spare time. This year, I forgot to buy daffodils because of everything.
it is very simple to cultivate daffodils, that is, in cold winter, as long as the water is changed frequently and there is proper sunshine every day, fresh and white seedlings will soon emerge from irregular brown-black root buds, and the bath will be smooth and bright. As the tender seedlings of the water spirit gradually set high, they began to produce green flower stems, and gradually spread out the spiritual green, and there would be a bunch of flower buds in the middle. Perhaps in the middle of the night, among the green leaves, you would be amazed to see an arrow flower stem, a white umbrella, and a bud not released in the scaly water. Enjoy the jade-like and ice-clear daffodils, and open a small white flower at the top alone, as if listening to the flowers whispering. The mood naturally becomes detached and quiet. I remember a poem written by Zhang Guanghui in the Ming Dynasty:
graceful and graceful, cold in spirit and cold in bones, hard to kiss,
reciting meditation in the middle of the night, just as lingbo is less contemptuous of dust.
According to legend, daffodils came from the water town of Dongting Lake and loved clear springs by nature. It is said that in Jingtai period of Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Zhang Guanghui who was upright and upright and worked as a small official in Jixian County, Henan Province. He saw through the darkness and corruption of officialdom in his official career and resigned and returned home. When he passed the vast Dongting Lake by boat, he was enjoying the lakes and mountains by the side of the boat at leisure, overlooking the blue sky, the green lake and the green distant mountains. He suddenly felt relaxed and happy, forgot all the honors and disgraces, and unconsciously immersed himself in a quiet dream. In a trance, I saw a beautiful fairy, wearing a golden feather coat and a jade skirt and socks, standing on the bow carved from ivory, with a green silk sail behind her, flying through the wind and waves. He stood up in shock, rubbed his eyes, and fixed his eyes on the wonder. At the moment, the fairy and the fairy boat disappeared. I saw a flower floating in the silvery lake. The white and glittering petals among the green leaves were put together into a six-sided jade plate, and the flower heart held up a golden glass. delicate and graceful was graceful and lovely! Zhang Guanghui held out his hand to catch it. Who knows that this fairy flower is very clever, leaving the ship's rail leisurely and drifting away to the middle of the lake. Zhang Guanghui was very upset and looked at the lake in a daze. This nifty fairy flower is quietly close to the ship's rail, always keeping a distance and swimming with the ship. He tried to catch it several times, but he couldn't get it. He was very anxious and helpless. His mood gradually calmed down, and he thought to himself reproachfully: Since she is a fairy on the water, she can't be treated with scorn, but must be received politely! So he shook his clothes and played the crown in awe, respectfully lit three incense sticks, and silently blessed the water fairy: < P > Fairy Lingbo is fragrant in national colors, and where do you want to swim on the lake?
Would you like to go back to the south with me? Under Pipa Sakamoto is a fairy land!
Strange to say, this fairy flower seems to know Zhang Guanghui's mind very well. After hesitating on the water waves for a while, she happily approached the ship's rail. Zhang Guanghui found a jade-colored fine porcelain basin. He washed it again and again with clear lake water, which was very bright and clean. Then he held the porcelain basin in his hands devoutly, lifted the bulbs of fairy flowers from the lake water, and brought them back to the round mountain pipa Osaka in Nanxiang, Zhangzhou, Fujian.
After the flowers bloom, Zhang Guanghui seriously planted the bulbs of fairy flowers in the garden under Pipa Sakamoto in front of the round mountain. Every day, he irrigated and cultivated the bulbs of fairy flowers with the fairy springs from the eyes of Pipa Sakamoto. After a year of hard work, the garden under Pipa Sakamoto was full of fairy flowers. Since then, every Spring Festival, the Zhang family will give pots of daffodils to relatives and close friends to congratulate the Spring Festival and be lucky.
Although I missed the flower growing season and couldn't see Tingting's daffodils, the water fairy's natural demeanor has long been spotless. Narcissus is elegant and free from vulgarity. At the same time, it has a graceful charm like water. She gets very little and pays a lot. As long as there is a clear water and a ray of warm sunshine in the wind and frost in winter, she will grow and bloom beautifully.
article 2: daffodils in the eyes of celebrities
in the middle of winter, a pot of daffodils is placed in the room, which is fragrant and pleasing to the eye.
Wu Changshuo, a master of seal cutting, likes to write poems and paint with narcissus as the theme, and his pen is vigorous and vigorous, showing a bit of stone breath. The poem says: "Narcissus is pure, but stone is immortal." If you are a cold couple, you will be three friends. How patient is Xian Xian? He invites the moon to bring more wine. " The painter called himself, daffodils and stones "three friends" and regarded them as life confidants.
Lu Xun also has a soft spot for daffodils. When he was a teenager, he planted daffodils and put them in his room for viewing. In 1935, Lu Xun, who never accepted gifts easily, accepted the daffodils brought back to him by writer Zheng Zhenduo from his hometown of Fujian. He watched daffodils with great interest and talked about the beauty of daffodils.
Zhou Shoujuan, a bonsai artist, also prefers daffodils. In order to blossom during the Spring Festival, every day, he put the daffodils in the warm sunshine outside, and moved them indoors at night to avoid the cold, so that the daffodils finally bloomed during the Spring Festival, and the room was full of fragrance, which added auspicious and festive feelings. In his essay "The Wonder of the Heaven and the Wonder of the Water", there are a lot of poems praising daffodils. At the end of the article, Zhou Shoujuan praised it: Elegant rhyme is enough to make daffodils colorful!
Lin Yutang has a special affinity for daffodils. He wrote in the article "The Feast of Life": "I think there are only two kinds of flowers with better fragrance than orchids, namely, osmanthus fragrans and daffodils ... This kind of flower head was imported into the United States in large quantities, and at one time it amounted to hundreds of thousands of yuan. Later, the United States Department of Agriculture banned this fragrant flower from entering the country to prevent Americans from being infected by some microorganisms in the flowers. The flower heads of daffodils are as pure as fairies. It's a bit of a fantasy to say that there are bacteria in this flower. "
in Guo Moruo's poem "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom", the daffodils are praised in this way: "The leaves made of jade are silvery white flowers. Simple, clear, home everywhere ... Spring Festival every year, for everyone to sing the Spring Festival song ". In his works, narcissus is vivid and vivid.

Chapter 4: A Pot of Narcissus
One day in early winter, my friend gave me a pot of narcissus. Knowing that I was lazy and in the mood to take care of flowers and plants, he said that narcissus is very easy to raise. If you change the water every three to five days, it will sprout leaves and bloom. In winter, you can also feel the breath of spring. I couldn't bear to brush his good pleasure, so I put the small round dark green basin on the desk. Narcissus ball has been cut by friends, and it is fat in vain, lying in the basin, with lotus root-like leaves and stems sticking out everywhere, like a small Nezha with superhuman powers, stretching his arms and kicking naughtily. It is also cute and cute.
according to my friend's instructions, I change the water for the daffodils every three to five days. After a few days, white roots like bean sprouts grew at the bottom of the narcissus ball depression, which grew densely. A few days later, the white fat leaves and stems spit out the green like a beak. This green is not like the rough green tide in the fields and mountains, nor like the shrinking green surrounded by the courtyard, but like a little new green after the rain. Surging in the water has a clean meaning. I love this green very much. I hope she will come for a long time, but I don't want her to get out of the water and get contaminated with the vulgarity of the courtyard. However, can there be this green that will never age and live forever in the world? Not long after, the green manure grew and the leaves began to sprout: in twos and threes, it was like asparagus coming out of the water and daffodil balls filled with water, which also filled my 9-square-meter study and bedroom with the breath of spring. In winter, people's spirit is always like a cypress beaten by the cold wind and frost, and it is despondent. But as long as I walk into the study, my spirit will be refreshed in an instant, and people will be immersed in a green dream.
It seems that all creatures with roots can't live without the soil, even the pine tree on the steep cliff, whose roots are deeply rooted in the rock crevices. Why can daffodils take root, sprout and smoke leaves in a basin without soil and foundation? I'll ask my best friend. He also keeps a pot of daffodils on his desk, which is lush and full of vitality. He told me that the narcissus ball should be buried in the soil for three years, which absorbed enough nutrients and moistened her spirituality, so the narcissus can take root and blossom in the basin.
can it blossom?
yes. My friend answered affirmatively.
I am skeptical, but it is somewhat novel. So the mood of looking forward to daffodils blossoming is even more urgent. Narcissus seems to be joking with me on purpose. It grows and grows, and the longer the leaves, the thinner it becomes. Blue leaves, beginning to have yellow spots, piece by piece, seem to have a spreading trend. I thought it was the water, so I changed the water changed every three to five days to one day. However, the yellow spots seem to be mutually agreed, not only do they not fade, but they are gradually connected in series. I went to my friend's house again, but he went on a business trip and didn't come back until a month later. I looked at the daffodils on his desk. The leaves were green, generous and strong, and they merged with the dark green small round basin. I feel lost in my heart. As the saying goes, is it intentional to plant flowers but not to grow them? I don't want to think about it, and I don't want to see daffodils. One morning, I moved the narcissus basin to the south.
