The value of orchids lies in the fresh and natural enjoyment.

Carry forward the national orchid culture and spread the knowledge of orchids

My impression of orchids originated from the first Orchid Exhibition at Yuantong Zen Temple in Kunming in the late 1970s. At that time, most people in Kunming were still wearing cloth shoes, plastic sandals, and kabu clothes, like going to the park, looking curiously at the strange flowers and plants that had been criticized as "endowment repair." I moved forward with the flow of people and fixed my eyes on a small card hanging on the edge of the basin: big Xue Su, 20 yuan per seedling. Of course, there is a larger sign that reads "do not touch", which makes the beauty of distance between orchids and people virtually. For people who were used to spending 80 cents to buy a pot of blooming chrysanthemums as the ultimate enjoyment, they seemed to be very wooden in the face of the snow-white flowers and the leisurely fragrance, and I only recognized the word "expensive" in my heart. because at that time, I was a soldier receiving an allowance of 6 yuan a month, and I had to save money for a year when I bought a big snow plant.

In the 1980s, in front of the old houses with light green doors in Jingxing Street in Kunming, some people began to set up stalls to sell flowers and plants, and then some temporary iron houses were built under the plane trees. A teacher surnamed Sun in Kunming Medical College, a teacher from Baoshan in Kunming No. 1 Middle School and a Duan descendant from Dali opened a small shop specializing in orchids. Kunming began to have places for friends in Elan, and those small wooden stools were hardly idle during the day. Friends of the orchid are always chatting in the warm sun and sharing their experiences with each other. When each orchid friend left, he was holding a few downhill grasses with the fragrance of the soil, as well as two black clay pots produced by Dali.

The mountain people in Guizhou were the first to be enlightened and discovered business opportunities. at first, they were shipped down the mountain grass to Kunming to sell, usually about 18 yuan a bag. after some bargaining, Lanyou circle made a site and opened the bag to select carefully. There are only fragrant flowers and Douban, occasionally Qiuzhi and Xia Hui from Yiliang, and white ink and red ink from Simao. There are always a few onlookers. When they find a few good flowers, they are happy together, and there is no good grass in the end. Everyone was disappointed. It is very difficult for Lanyou to enjoy the happiness that is being sought. When I get yellow flowers, blossoms, edge grass, lotus petals, and strange flowers, it is like a treasure. Everyone can pass it on and comment on it. Those who have friends can open their mouth and put on two seedlings, and the onlookers next to them are only greedy.

In such a happy time, dozens of orchid friends, all familiar with each other, can stand on the side of the road and blow idle cattle all morning, although most of them do not know each other's last name and will greet each other when they meet each other. In the long run, they will itch if they do not slip to the orchid city in the morning. This is an addiction. I can't tell whether I don't see the grass flustered or those people flustered. I can't bear the loneliness without the orchid friends. Every year, New Year's Eve won't go home for New year's dinner until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, Da Xue Su sold for 100 yuan a seedling, but I, an officer who had been "promoted", earned only 62 yuan a month. Buying a pot of snow is still just a dream in my heart. Although there is no big snow, it does not affect my happiness as an orchid friend, and that enjoyment is still talked about by many orchid friends of that time.

I remember one morning, in the expectant eyes of Lan you, a flower farmer in Guizhou carefully took out a cluster of tender green "blossoms" from the bamboo basket. The green water moss still seemed to be covered with mountain dew, the green of the flowers, the purity of the flowers, the delicate fragrance of the flowers, the dexterity of the flowers, all with the smell of mountains, and the onlookers seemed to be frozen, standing blankly, only eyes, no words. No one has the heart to take over the pure and clean Suxin orchid in the hands of the florist. The florist said that he had found this grass in the back mountain of an ancient temple in his hometown for three years. He had been guarding it for three years, but this year he finally put out the flowers. He picked them carefully and came to Kunming overnight for fear that the flowers would wither. These three years of waiting can not bring these friends to enjoy. If I wake up from a dream, this is not a grass, this is the painstaking work and hope of a beauty-loving mountain farmer for three years, the creation of nature for thousands of years, and the spirit of the mountain. I carefully held this ball of green, this mass of aroma, this mass of simple and elegant, without hesitation to hand over the past month and a half of wages, no hesitation, no bargaining, just like marrying my beautiful bride. When the orchid is dedicated to the open day on the table at home, every day is my holiday. I don't think about tea or rice. I just want to blankly look at the bloom of the bud, smell the deep fragrance, and invite orchid friends to enjoy the ultimate pleasure in the world. In retrospect, it was a relationship. The price of orchids lies in this feeling of life.

The orchid began to publish a book. I remember that it was first written by Mr. Shen Yuanru, and the orchid culture had a carrier. In the era when the Japanese invaded China, Mr. Shen spent his fortune competing with the Japanese ronin to buy famous orchids, so that Chinese famous flowers would not be lost abroad, and those who had older generations sacrificed their lives to protect orchids during the war. Only now can future generations enjoy the delicate fragrance of traditional famous flowers, and the prestige of orchids has sublimated to a level comparable to the integrity of the Chinese nation, so that we can understand the artistic conception of "orchid is king and fragrance" as said by Confucius.

I remember that Marshal Chen Yi wrote a poem chanting orchids: "the orchid is in the valley, but no one knows it. Only because of the fragrance, people ask for it all over the mountains." In front of every ditch and hurdle of life, how to face setbacks with the concept of a gentleman, not complaining about others, not giving up, and finally realize that every payment in life is like a cry in the valley, there is no need to expect anyone to hear it, but the long echo is the best return of life to us. This is the realm of people like the orchid. Silently grow, silently open, fragrant ten miles, benefit passers-by, immortal. Because of this, Lan is known as the gentleman in the flower.

When orchids are called "sky-high orchids", I just want to say one word: "vulgar". It's not a flower custom, it's a human custom. Everything in the world can be put up with, but it is vulgar.

The orchid is precious, but it also has a grass-roots nature, that is, it needs the love, pursuit and praise of the vast number of orchid friends, and it is called having a mass foundation in China in order to let a hundred flowers blossom and Lanhui compete for spring. If orchids go to the homes of "big families" and are surrounded by thick steel cages, covered like bean sprouts, watered with some hormone drugs and nursed by Tibetan mastiffs and fierce dogs, then whenever I think of orchids, I think of dog shit. Therefore, it is suggested that many orchid friends should not call themselves "big families", do not use the method of stock speculation to play with orchids, do not denounce traditional famous flowers as worthless, hype a strange flower today, and hype a petal tomorrow. Infinitely high until the "sky-high price", 10 million yuan a plant, ghosts believe. Accidentally attracted CCTV to make a negative report, the big family was ruined, the orchid culture was also burned, and the ancient famous orchid trade was also turned into a "fight silly game." planting this orchid can not bring enjoyment to people. but it makes people "chest blocked", only depressed.

If you are a person who loves orchid, you must first look at whether there are Yunnan's "four famous flowers" in the orchid shed. If there is no Da Xue Su, Xiao Xue Su, Tonghai Jian, and cinnabar orchid, the highest state is only an investor, and it is hard to say that you are "orchid friends." if you reject the "five golden flowers" selected by all orchid friends, you will always fry and make a sky-high variety. At best, you will only be an orchid peddler.

Whenever the Spring Festival is approaching and orchids are about to bloom, we should recall the story of a long time ago: at that time, the sky was still blue, the water was green, crops grew in the ground, pork could be safely eaten, rats were still afraid of cats, and sheep's heads could not be hung on selling dog meat. Big snow is offered on the desk for the whole family to enjoy in the sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival. Only with such a supreme realm can orchids become truly famous and valuable.
