Xie Peimei's complete file

Xie Peimei "in Shen's father and son" Orchid "contains:" petal red shell green plum petal. History was selected by the surname Zhang of Shanghai at the beginning of the Republic of China. Features three-petal emerald green, tight edge short foot round head, white jade heart, as large as the tongue, scape slender. The flower shape is slightly smaller when the bud just relaxes the petal, and then it becomes bigger and bigger, and the flower posture is very strong. The leaves are narrow, arched, propagate quickly and have healthy flowers. "

With regard to the selection of "Xie Peimei", most orchids are known as "selected by the surname Zhang of Shanghai at the beginning of the Republic of China." The same is true of the record of "three hundred questions on Chinese Orchid Art": "Chi Huimei 'Xiepei', also known as' Jiang Gaomei'. In the early years of the Republic of China, it was selected by Zhang Ailan in Huxi (Shanghai). The word 'Xiepei' comes from the word "Yong Lan" written by Yang Shen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: 'incense with full sleeves seems to meet Xie Pei, Jiangxian scattered the dust.' This is the name. " This kind of records are mostly used in "50 years of Yilan experience", Wu Yingxiang's "Chinese Orchid", "Nai Anju Yilan Brush Tan", "Jiangsu and Zhejiang Lanhui", "Lan Huibao Jian" and so on. However, we should note that "Chinese Orchid Art 300 questions" only gives an explanation to "Xiepei". Then how to explain this "Jiang Gaomei"?

When Xie Peimei was selected, there was a record in the Lanhua Spectrum published in 1937: "Xie Peimei, this product is not yet her own year. The famous flower discovered by Zhang Jun, a famous scholar in the west of Shanghai, blossomed after four years of training." The book Xialan, edited by Mr. Guan Wenchang, included "the time of the Republic of China" and "not yet the year" in 1919. It should be said that the earliest orchid work recorded in Xie Peimei is the record of continuation of Lanhui in 1930 by Feng Zicai in Shangyu. In this orchid work & lt Fangtujiu & gt, Mr. Feng recorded this cymbidium, called it Jianggao Jiepeimei, and listed it as Chihui lotus-shaped daffodils. When Yimao came out of Shanghai in the Republic of China, he earned it for Mr. Zhang Xianzhi. The gifts were given to Mr. Hui Yuting and Mr. Zhu Nianci. I was brought by Wang Zhangyou. The color is green, the edge is tight, the meat is thick, the shoulder is flat, the silkworm moth is as big as the tongue. When it blossoms, it grows bigger and bigger, and the good species are also good. " Leave a white picture. The record of the atlas of unknown Lanhui is basically the same as that of continued Lanhui. In this paper, Zhang Shuozhi is recorded as Zhang Shuisan, for fear of pen mistakes.

The year of the Republic of China was in 1915 AD. The chosen person is Mr. Zhang Lianzhi from Shanghai. So, does the Lanhua Spectrum record whether the selection time of Xie Peimei is "after four years of training before it blossoms"? Otherwise, the time of 1919 would have been a coincidence. Mr. Zhang Xianzhi is no longer allowed to take the exam, but it should be affirmed that he was a fan of Huihua in Shanghai at that time. We have introduced Hui Yuting and Wang Zhangyou in Huihua "Xianmei", "Yu Shanmei", Chunlan "Cuihe" and so on. Zhu Nianci cannot be tested. In modern China, there is a very famous Mr. Zhu Nianci. He is a native of Jiashan, a master of contemporary Chinese arts and crafts, and a fan calligrapher. He is good at real gold fan calligraphy, and his main works are famous for ten thousand fans. However, this Zhu Nianci was born in 1922, and he was only eight years old when the Book of continued Lanhui was written in 1930, which obviously doesn't match the number.

The explanation of "Xiepei" in "three hundred questions on Chinese Orchid Art" is insightful, because Yang Shen's word is "Yong Lan". There are many stories and poems about "Xiepei" in history, but where is the named person? It is hard to say. There is a "Xie Pei Ling" in the ci plate. In the Yuan Dynasty, there is a story of "Zhu Xiaoji pitifully relieving Pei". Zhu Xiaoji was born in Suzhou, but her family declined when Emperor Yuanshun was born and was sold by the surname Yu. Later, she became acquainted with Zheng Hanqing, the most famous talent in Jiangnan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, who wrote 18 kinds of zaju, such as Fu's daughter leaving the Soul. Zhu Xiaoji fell in love with Zheng Hanqing at first sight. Zhu Xiaoji married Zheng Hanqing and went to Hangzhou with her. Later, the young master of the Yu family hijacked Zhu Xiaoji. Zhu Xiaoji was inexplicably indignant, cut her hair and damaged her clothes, saying, "I would rather die than be humiliated!" Zheng Hanqing rescued him from danger in every way and took him to settle in central Fujian. At that time, Chen Bolu, a friend on Xizi Lake, specially wrote poems to them, including: "Akiba does not need Qian as a matchmaker, the painting hall is red and willing to be pitiful; the prince of Rongyang passed by, and Xiangpu beauty Xie Pei came." It's a sentence. Is it not possible to explain the name of "Xie Peimei" according to this story? Let's look back.

In Song ci, Li Qingzhao in a song & lt Duoli. There is a passage in Bai Ju-gt ci: "gradually autumn stops, snow is clear and jade is thin, and you are infinitely dependent on others." Like sorrowful coagulation, Hangao Jie Pei, like tears, Wanfan poem. " Here, "Xie Pei in Hangao" refers to the story that Zheng Jiaofu met two fairies in Hangao in Chu. "Biography of Immortals" in the volume "Jiang Fei two daughters" said: "Jiang Fei two daughters, I do not know where people are also." He traveled to the Mekong of Jianghan and met Zheng Jiaofu. I am glad to see it, but I don't know its god and man. It is said that his servant said,'I want to go down and ask him to admire it.' …… Hand in hand to explain the admiration and hand it over. Jiao Fu is delightful and careful in his bosom, and tends to take dozens of steps. He looks at him, but he has nothing in mind. Gu Ernu suddenly disappeared. " The words "Hangao Xiepei" and "Jianggao Xiepei" mentioned in the Book of continuation of Lanhui should be the same, "traveling in the Mekong of Jianghan", and the expressions of "Jiang" and "Han" here should be synonymous. Chu is the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that "Jianggao Jie Peimei" is named as "biographies of Immortals" in the volume of "two daughters of Jiang Fei". And the record of "three hundred questions on Chinese Orchid Art" is "Chihuimei 'Xiepei', also known as' Jiang Gaomei'." There is also a more comprehensive and reasonable explanation, which avoids the limitation of "Jiang Gaomei" while explaining "Xie Peimei" alone. It also confirms that there is indeed a reason for calling it "Jianggao Jie Peimei" in the Book of Conception of Lanhui and the atlas of unknown Lanhui. As for the context of "Xie Peimei", let's stop here. It's time to talk about the orchid product of Xie Peimei.

The leaves of "Xie Peimei" are curved and ring-shaped, with obvious light in dark green, medium-thin leaves, "v"-shaped grooves, slightly pointed long leaves, up to 1cm in width, about 40--50cm in length, and pink when the bud is first unearthed, gradually turning to green with light reddish purple ribs. The "centipede clamp" (some people think it is "small flat cut" in the skillful species gate), the scape is green and slender, the height of the flower is about 45cm, the hairpin is long and sparse, purplish red, with 11 flowers, the bud is slightly smaller when it comes out of the shell, and the petal width increases a few days after flowering, and the outer petal is in the shape of root angle, tight edge, flat shoulder, thick flesh. The main lobe is covered, the color is green, holding the heart for the famous white jade heart, holding the heart slightly divided, visible core column, according to the shape of the valve classification, should belong to the silkworm moth. As the small flower stalk purplish red, petals white jade heart, so there is a 'red hairpin Jasper' said. It is in the shape of a large tongue with purple-red plaques in the tongue. "Xie Peimei" diligent grass, diligent flowers, strong fecundity, exuberant growth, fragrant flowers, vigorous and beautiful flowers, many Orchid families like. Now the orchids classify it into the plum petal flowers, mainly on the basis that the silkworm moths in the middle nest are joyful and tongue-shaped; the basis for its inclusion in the lotus-shaped daffodils is mainly in the shape of the root and angle of the outer valve. if you look at the long feet and slightly pointed ends of the outer valve, this classification is also reasonable.

"Xie Peimei" in Jingjiang City, Jiangsu Province has won the reputation of the whole country. Therefore, it is known as Jingjiang Xie Pei. It is said that there are tens of thousands of "Xie Peimei" in Jingjiang. Mr. Lu Mingxiang, Yuxiu Lanyuan, Jingjiang City, Jiangsu Province, said in the article "Jingjiang Xiepei is the first in the world": "Jingjiang people raise Xiepei, which has a long history and a long story. In the early years of the Republic of China, Liu Rongqiu, the owner of a bank in Jingjiang, bought Xiepei and other varieties from the Rong family in Wuxi at the price of "one rice and one seedling". Unfortunately, he was looted by Japanese devils during the Anti-Japanese War. Fortunately, the son of Jingjiang Yuheng bad house boss Liu Xinzhi (then Jingjiang County Stadium instructor and later Jingjiang County Middle School PE teacher) introduced several pots of orchids to Liu Rongqiu before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Jingjiang was occupied by Japanese devils in 1937. Liu Xinzhi took nothing with him when he fled, but took a few pots of orchids with him. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he continued to nourish them and put warm rooms in the people's Park for the winter every winter. In 1965, Liu Luping, director of the people's Park, successively obtained four pots of famous orchids such as Xie Pei from Liu Xinzhi, such as treasure, carefully cultivated, and focused on the development of orchids in the park. during the Cultural Revolution, orchids became fragrant poisonous weeds and were targeted by the Red Guards. Xizang and Xie Peimei can only be preserved in the park. After decades of development, the number of Xie Peimei in Jingjiang people's Park has greatly increased to nearly 10,000 seedlings. The Annals of Landscape Architecture of Jiangsu Province contains: 'Liu Luping, director of Jingjiang people's Park, specially opened the Orchid Garden to collect famous species. Among them, the number of Xie Peimei ranks first in the country. In May 1987, Jingjiang Xiepei participated in the China Flower Expo held in Beijing for the first time and won an award for high-quality exhibits.' At the same time, Xie Peimei is also widely spread among people who love orchids in Jingjiang, and the number of folk collections also ranks first in the country. For example, Liu Luping has more than thousands of seedlings, and generally there are hundreds of seedlings. It can be said that those who raise orchids in Jingjiang must have several pots of Xie Pei.

Among the thousands of pots of relief in Jingjiang, there are also some people with peculiar forms, which are quite eye-catching. Such as Jingjiang orchid friends call 'big flower pee', the leaf width is more than 1cm, the leaf groove is shallower and "u" shaped, the leaf frame is higher, the leaf clump is more majestic, the bud mercurial red shell, the upper untight empty head up to 1cm, its flower is larger than the general pee, but the flower shape is similar to that of the pee, and the core column can also be seen on the back of the heart. As Jingjiang orchid friends call it 'vertical leaf relief', the leaf width is also as wide as 1cm, the leaf posture is hanging, the leaf groove is shallow, the short positions in the upper part of the bud are also up to 1cm, and the pedicel is black-purple when the pedicel just takes off, turning green later, and the flower is also larger than the general petals, but the flower shape is also similar, and the core column can be seen on the back of the heart.

At the Hangzhou Orchid Exhibition in 2000, Liu Luping (vice president of the Orchid Association of Jiangsu Province) sent four pots of Xiepei to the exhibition, three of which won the prize, which is said to be controversial. Most of the judges thought that only one of the four pots was Xiupe, and the other three pots were not. "

When Mr. Lu Mingxiang refers to "Xie Peimei" and "those with peculiar forms", on the one hand, different products will appear because of the different cultivation environment, the strength of the grass, the temperature and the humidity in the flowering pot; on the other hand, I personally think whether there are other varieties here, of course, the "other varieties" I am talking about do not refer to the new species newly named, but to the traditional old ones. It is said that "Xie Peimei" currently has 18-20 new names outside. According to orchid friends, "Yixing Mei", "Yixing Huimei", "Jingximei", "Guicheng Mei", "Gungquanmei", "Liuchun", "Jinmei", "Cuidi", "Yongyan" and "Yongchunmei" seen at the Orchid Exhibition in recent years are very similar to the flowers of "Xie Peimei". Of course, the similarity of flowers does not necessarily mean "Xie Peimei". Let's not talk about the "new seed" for the time being.

"Yixing Mei" should be "Xianlu", "Lan Hui Xiao Shi": "Xianlu is also known as Yixing Mei, also named after Shanghai. Three long feet round head, divided into nests, sheep's horn holding the heart, the tongue is not curled. The maid used it to rush the former Shanghai plum. "

"Gungquanmei" is also known as "Treasure", and Shen's father and son "Orchid": "it was selected by he Gungquan in Wujin, Jiangsu Province in 1930 and named Gungquanmei at that time; in 1941, it was planted by Mr. Xie Duanshan in Suzhou. Because of its rare flower shape and appearance, it was given a new name, and Lantan was later called 'Dicui' (it is a foreign body with the same name as' Dicui', which was cut off at the end of the Qing Dynasty). Three-petal round head, slightly tight edge with sharp edge, root, soft pocket silkworm moth holding, divided into nests, small as tongue, scape fine. It is one of the rare varieties of Cymbidium in modern times. The author has cultivated many pots since 1934. " Some people say that this is selected by Zhu Gungquan in Changzhou.

"Jinmei", Shen's father and son "Orchid": "selected by Mr. Jiang Jinhuai in Wuxi in 1948. Three big heads, tight edges, thin roots, silkworm moths, small round tongues. The flowers are emerald and green, and the flowers are handsome. " According to Mr. Jiang Jinhuai's introduction, he got it from the basket when he went to visit Zhu Youren in Hangzhou.

"Yongchunmei", "Lan Hui with one mind": "Chihui Yongchunmei: a new species of Ding Hai. Produced in Fuyang sand and stone mountain. The flower is similar to the meta-word, but the edge is tighter. Mountain guest A Yong brought it for Wu Youyun Taishou, and mailing it was a residual gift. I take the flower like the Yuan word, Gai Yuan as the beginning of the spring, Fuyang is also known as Fuchun, and it is also found for Ah Yong, hence the name Yongchun. The flower light turns green, the meat is thick and waxy, and the good seed is also. Leaf wide ring, slightly narrower than a product, grass four tubes, all covered with basin noodles, then the flowers are higher and more divine, more. " According to Mr. Yan Xiongfei in Tongzhou, "Huihua boutique Yongchunmei is produced in Fuyang Sandy Mountain, Zhejiang Province." When I split the pot a month ago, the bud came out of the blue soil with a piece of mercury red. The bud is very large, and the jade is full of beads. The traditional varieties that have lasted for nearly 120 years are going to blossom again! Only by using a little less water and giving a little more fertilizer can we grow strong and blossom! "

"Liuchun" out of Yixing, Gu Shu Kai planting, red green Mei Hui, three-petal round head, soft, round tongue, color green, shoulder flat, dry high.

"Cuidi", collected by Zhang Jinsheng in Tianmu Mountain in Shaoxing in the winter of 1948, was picked by Gu Shu Qizhi for red-to-green plum petal, three-petal long foot round head, thick waxy, hard holding dragon swallowing tongue, color green, shoulder flat.

Most of the others are selected and recorded later, so they will not be introduced one by one. The reason why we introduce these old varieties of cymbidium, apart from the phenomenon of "Xie Peimei" reaching the top, is there no such or some old variety mentioned above in "Jingjiang Xiepei"? In the article "Jingjiang Xie Pei first in the World", Mr. Lu Mingxiang said that "Big Flower Xie Pei" and "drooping Leaf Xie Pei" are really worth thinking about. I can't remember which gentleman once said, "there are two kinds of Xiepe: one is common in the market, and the other is not many. At that time, Ding Yongkang got it from Changshu and then took it to Nantong. At that time, Nantong sold the former for 500 yuan per seedling and the latter for 800 yuan per seedling. Huihua is very knowledgeable, so it's not easy to understand it. " I personally think that there is only one kind of "Xie Peimei". No matter what differences or similarities there are in the opening product, one variety cannot produce two or three varieties, which only means that other old varieties are mixed in, but they are not seriously separated. What I said in this way, I am not referring to the ulterior motives of using "Xie Peimei" to reach the top of the old breed, let alone an excuse for a new name. Yang Xianlan Chi (net name) on the Internet once said: "with the expansion of exchanges in Huilan in recent years and the improvement of the understanding level of orchid friends, they have a clear understanding of the different products of Xiepe." However, it should be noted that nowadays there are still people who deceive people by pretending to be other varieties. It is really too wrong. It is understandable and forgivable to mistake the varieties when they do not have a high degree of understanding. However, it is unforgivable for some flower vendors to buy Xiepei at low prices and pass them off as other varieties at high prices. " I just hope that the Orchid people of Ai Hui can seriously figure out this breed, for the sake of the present and the future.

In addition to the "Orchid Spectrum" in Japan, the varieties of "Xie Peimei" are included in China's Chunlan Mingjian in 1992 (Pingcheng, Japan), Chinese Chunlan Mingjian in 1973 (Showa, Japan), Huilan Mingjian in 1979 (Showa 54 in Japan) and Jiuhua Minghua Collection in one Stem.

We will not talk about the seedling price of "Xie Peimei" in the past. In May 2003, the price per plant was about 500yuan. Now, a year later, the seedling price has been around 1000 yuan. Of course, compared with other old species of Cymbidium, this kind of variety is already a low-priced variety.

"Xie Peimei" won the gold medal at the 13th China Orchid Expo in Dali, Yunnan Province in 2003, and "Xie Peimei" presented by Chen Yaoxiang in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province won the Bronze Award at the Orchid Exhibition of the first Chinese Orchid Culture Expo in 2004.

There is a poem in "Jiang Gao Jie Peimei" in "continue Lanhui Tongxin record": "appearance is plum blossom, not plum, non-Mei na has to win Meikui." Xiaoxiang is partial to the king, and Zhijie Xingfang is free from vulgarity. "
