Wu Yingxiang's comments on Fish Fish
I. the name and its origin
Fish Pillow Orchid, also known as fish pillow, jade pillow, white bubble orchid, bath sink, fish sink, running flower, Zhao Hua, Zhao Lan, out of the shelf white, jade dry and so on. According to the Kangxi Dictionary, the word "pillow" has two interpretations: (1) phonetic examination (shen), fish roe, and (2) phonetic depth (chen), which is synonymous with Shen homonym. The pillow of fish pillow orchid is the same as Shen Zi, pronunciation chen, I used to be shen, should be corrected.
According to the record of Jade pillow Fang Rong pursuit (Chinese Orchid No. 4, 1993) written by Mr. Chen Renshui of Yongfu Middle School in Zhangping, Fujian Province, there is a paragraph in which I think the authenticity is greater. He wrote:. This vegetable orchid can reach 12 when it is most luxuriant, the fragrance is particularly pleasant, the color is white and bright, if the bud is thrown into the stream, the shape is like a blister, some people call it "white bubble orchid"; children play, often sink the orchid petal into the stream water to play hide-and-seek, the child play language "orchid bath", so it is also called "bath sink" The white petals in the slow flow of Qingxi do not sink vertically and are not easy to find, so the children often say that "the sunken fish has escaped", and it is also known as "sinking fish" and "running flowers". Fujian dialect "running flowers" and Mandarin "Zhao Hua" homonym, "fish sink" and "fish pillow" homonym, "bath sink" and "jade pillow, fish pillow" sound together, "white bubble orchid, run orchid, fish Shen" refers to flower slices clear and cut, such as fish sinking in the water without shadow.
In Jinzhang Orchid Spectrum, there is a record of "Zhao Hua is also strange outside the product" in "Pin Di Gao Xia". It can be seen that Zhao Hua comes from Fujian dialect.
II. Records and spread of ancient books
Song Dynasty Zhao Shigeng "Golden Calyx Orchid capacity" recorded: "Fish pillow orchid, twelve calyx flowers clear, like a fish pillow, picked and sunk in the water, not a shadow." The leaf is quite strong, the color is green, this magnificent product of Magnolia. "
Wang Guixue's "Wang's Orchid Spectrum" is basically the same as the "Golden Zhanglan Spectrum": "Fish pillow orchid Zhao Lan, twelve calyx, flowers clear, like a fish pillow, picked and sunk, without a shadow." The leaves are strong, green and slightly crooked. This marvelous product of Bailan.
It can be seen that fish pillow orchids existed long before Zhao and Wang wrote their books. After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, he still lives everywhere today. However, the origin of the above two books is not stated. According to Mr. Chen Renshui, the origin of fish pillow orchid is the Beishan village at the junction of Longyan and Zhangping in Fujian Province. in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were two major families surnamed Lei and Lu. First, the Lei nationality owned the fish pillow orchid, and then migrated to the Lu clan. In the Qing Dynasty, it was handed down by the Lu clan to Chen Ruji, the imperial guard of the Qianlong era and the general of Weiyuan. He was an orchid enthusiast, friendly with Zheng Banqiao at that time. Since then, it has been handed down to modern times.
