Today, we may need to know chrysanthemum from a different point of view.

Autumn is coming, and chrysanthemum appreciation has become a popular activity in that season. In addition to the well-known poetry and wine Fu Tao Yuanming, appreciating chrysanthemum climbing to Chongyang, and so on, are there any more distinctive "folk" activities around chrysanthemums?

Let's take a look at the history of chrysanthemum appreciation.

Chrysanthemum appreciation has long been a habit among Chinese people, ranging from the imperial court in ancient Kyoto, the families of officials and eunuchs and the common people, to the people in various cities in China today. chrysanthemum parties, chrysanthemum exhibitions and chrysanthemum-style activities are held every year in autumn. The Beijing Botanical Garden holds chrysanthemum appreciation activities every autumn. The Chrysanthemum Society in Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan County, Guangdong Province, which was founded at the end of the Song Dynasty, has a history of more than 700 years. It is one of the oldest and largest chrysanthemum societies in China, with a maximum population of 1 million.

The poems and songs surrounding chrysanthemums are innumerable: "Li Sao" has the sentence "drinking the dew of magnolia in the morning and dropping the English of autumn chrysanthemum in the evening"; "the Book of Rites": "in the autumn of the month, there is Huang Hua on the bow", which shows that the chrysanthemum blossoms on the autumn moon; Tao Yuanming's love of chrysanthemum in the Jin Dynasty is even more popular. "picking wild flowers by the fence, accidentally seeing Nanshan", "autumn chrysanthemum has a beautiful color, but also shows its English," is still stewed to the population.

As a medicinal material, chrysanthemum is a very magical existence! Mash the chrysanthemum and Chen Aiye into coarse powder and put them into a gauze bag to make knee pads, which can dispel wind and dehumidification, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and treat arthritis such as crane knee wind. The aroma of chrysanthemum has the function of soothing the wind, calming the liver, smelling it, and has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on colds and headaches.

Of course, Huaxiao is most interested in how to "eat" chrysanthemums. Yes, you read it right. Chrysanthemums have great edible value and can be made into exquisite delicacies. "Chrysanthemum meat" is a kind of chrysanthemum vegetable made after long-term exploration. it is made from pieces of white tender pork processed with sucrose, exquisitely carved like white jade. Stick a few pieces of chrysanthemum on each piece, drink fat and sugar sweet, watch its golden color, eat meat in the mouth is vegetarian, vegetarian meat, sweet not greasy, is actually a famous dish. There are chrysanthemum fish balls, fried chrysanthemum leaves, chrysanthemum fish fillet porridge, chrysanthemum soup, chrysanthemum wine, chrysanthemum tea and so on. These chrysanthemum meals are not only good in color, smell, but also rich in nutrition. Beijing's famous "chrysanthemum pot" (that is, putting some chrysanthemum soup in Mongolian Hot Pot hot pot) is not only light and delicious, but also unique.

In addition to these, chrysanthemum tea is also very famous! I believe that people who love tea may have drunk it, clear away heat and fire, and prolong life!

With so many benefits and usefulness, how about keeping a pot of chrysanthemums at home? enjoy, smell, eat, color, everything!
