Prose: Ruoxia Wei Zi
In autumn, crape myrtle blossoms are full and dancing in the wind. Fine flowers gather on the branches, stretching out like clouds of tidbits. They are bright little buds clustered into a tree, which has become a long and elegant style. When the breeze blows, the branches and leaves sway, and the flower tide rises and falls happily, which makes people fascinated.
Lagerstroemia indica has a long flowering period, one word is permanent and two words are unbeaten. In fact, there are also invincible flowers that are permanently open. As the saying goes, "flowers don't bloom", but Wei Zixia is full of flowers in summer and still full of flowers in autumn. Flowers bloom naturally 100 days or more, hence the name "Hundred Days Red" or "Full House Red".
When I was a child, I heard the old man say, "Ziwei blossoms for a hundred days, caressing the branches and moving the whole tree." Because it is like a shy girl, the swaying branches seem to be scratched under her arms and she laughs all over. Petals flying all over the sky are like pear blossoms in the rain, full of fragrance, floating lightly with the wind, with a soft and dazzling posture. So Lagerstroemia indica is also called itchy tree. Lagerstroemia indica's branches are flexible and elegant, and there are still skins at a young age. Later, they peeled off year after year, revealing a delicate and smooth trunk. When I grow up, I no longer shed my skin, so there are also "skinless trees", which northerners call "monkey thorns", which means that the trunk is smooth and even monkeys can't climb up.
There are four varieties of Lagerstroemia indica. The flowers of Lagerstroemia indica are purple, enchanting, rich and touching. Cuiwei is obviously different. The color is blue-purple, which exudes a faint charm in the dark blue, holding some meaningful reserve and elegance. Chi Wei's enthusiasm is unrestrained, like a red flower blooming in fire, which makes people feel elated and makes life light and windy. Yin Wei, with white flowers, still maintains the romance and amorous feelings of Lagerstroemia speciosa under the light fluorescent color.
"fish begins to stink at the head" is people's beautiful expectation for Wei Zi. Ziweilang is an ancient official name, and the Chinese nation has advocated purple since ancient times. Purple robe, jade belt and purple ribbon are often used to describe high officials and dignitaries. There is also purple gas from the east, indicating that luck is changing and purple gas is rising, indicating that auspicious clouds are lingering or auspicious stars are shining high. According to legend, crape myrtle turns into gas, which is a symbol of the promotion of "noble" people, symbolizing long-term auspiciousness and boundless blessings. The Ziweiyuan in the sky is the place where the Emperor of Heaven lived, and the Forbidden City on earth is the treasure house where the Ninth Five-Year Plan Emperor lived. Therefore, Ziwei symbolizes long-term wealth and a peaceful, auspicious and happy life.
Osmanthus fragrans, which once bloomed strongly in summer, withered sadly after several rains, with delicate branches and no vitality in the past. However, after the fall, I suddenly found those Ziwei flowers blooming so elegantly in the bright sunshine, showing blurred beauty. From a distance, those flowers are like proud peacocks, stunning and charming.
The magnificent crape myrtle is the poetic soul that blooms in autumn. Flowers are in full bloom, life is full of smiles, and the passionate passion still does not lose the desire to fly in the summer. Breeze Xu Lai, enchanting trees are full of flowers, flying all over the sky like flying swallows, looking magnificent and lofty in the cloudless clear autumn sky in Wan Li.
Ziwei looks weak, but in the autumn when the west wind sweeps away, it is tirelessly open, showing an elegant style, as well as a tough and feminine quality and character. Against the cold wind, Lagerstroemia indica has a strong ability to survive and adapt, and can even spend the winter in North China. There is a strong and stubborn graceful demeanor hidden in the soft shadow of flowers, and the spirit of standing upright is full of self-confidence and detachment. Those branches and flowers are inextricably United as a team, showing their precious qualities of not being afraid of wind and frost, and also deeply containing the fearless spirit and lofty belief radiated by rich connotations.
