Cuiyao said, "they have a pomegranate over there, with four or five branches in succession. It's really going up the stairs, and it's hard for him to grow." Shi Xiangyun said: "Flowers and plants are the same as human beings. They are full of spirit and grow well." Cui Gui twisted her face and said, "I don't believe that." If I'm like a human being, why don't I see a person with another head on his head? "

The 31st time of A Dream of Red Mansions

Pomegranate is a deciduous shrub or small tree, but it becomes an green tree in the tropics. Zhang Qian was introduced into China from the Western regions in the Han Dynasty, also known as an pomegranate. Foreign pomegranate came to China and blended into Chinese culture with its rich expressiveness.

According to the May pomegranate flower, the pomegranate is a seasonal flower in May. As an ornamental flower, there are red, white and miscellaneous colors, among which the red color in full swing is the most admired by people. It is called garnet red, bright as fire, pure as blood. The petals and sepals are crimson, slightly wrinkled, silky luster and texture. "flying general Baoding has a thousand flames, and ten thousand red spots of red sand have been refined." The flowers are dazzling and red, with an auspicious and rich temperament. Su Shi said that "pomegranate has a positive color", meta case said, "suddenly see an pomegranate in the court, sigh that there is a real color in the flowers." True color is a very high evaluation, this noble and authentic red has risen to the inherent quality of pomegranate flowers.

In the fifth book, there is a hint to Jia Yuanchun:

Book painting: a bow with citron hanging from it.

Judgment: over the past 20 years to distinguish right from wrong, pomegranate flowers are in bloom according to the palace. The three springs struggle and the early spring scene, the tigers meet and return in a big dream.

The pomegranate flower represents the flower of Yuanchun.

Pomegranate flowers have both single and double petals. What kind of pomegranate flower is the pomegranate flower on the floor? I always thought I meant double pomegranate flowers, until once I stood in front of a flowering pomegranate tree and saw that the pomegranate petals were overlapped. If you look at it carefully, there is an extra layer of sepals in the middle. There are dense petals between the two layers of sepals, and there are also dense petals on the sepals, which looks like a flower on top of another flower. I was shocked and admired him. With such meticulous observation and description of the plants, this is the pomegranate flowers on the floor.

The phenomenon of Laozihua is called the phenomenon of Chongtai or Taige, which refers to the variation of the center or pistil of a flower into a pedicel or petal, which is equivalent to blooming on the flower, equivalent to what Cui said, and a head grows on the head. This is a kind of abnormal phenomenon of plant flowering, which belongs to fund mutation, which is not common and very rare. The phenomenon of heavy building is common in lotus flower and peony peony, and pomegranate is very rare.

The pomegranate flowers on the floor appear in the Daguan Garden. On the one hand, as Xiangyun said, the Daguan Garden is full of spirit, the flowers and plants are particularly prosperous, and rare pomegranates can appear; on the other hand, it shows that the Jia House at this time is extremely rich because of the imperial concubine of the Yuan Chun. even the flowers and trees are strangely rich, it can be described as fire cooking oil, flowers are full of brocade.

27 Tanchun specially asked Baoyu to talk under the pomegranate tree. Maybe the pomegranate tree we talked about was the one with pleasant growth. The Jia daughters of the two sons-in-law were as brilliant, rich and auspicious as the pomegranate flowers in May.

The pomegranate is respected because it is regarded as a symbol of the prosperity of descendants. Pomegranate berries are spherical, multi-celled like beehives, full seeds gather in the same thick shell pericarp, thousands of rooms with the same membrane, thousands of children as one, "boundless business contains thick, full belly to take the second time." "the leftover face is drunk in both eyes, and the Agkistrodon acutus is full of wonder." In ancient times, it was a symbol of many children and grandchildren and an appropriate room for IKEA. Both at home and abroad, Hera, the goddess in charge of marriage and fertility in ancient Greek mythology, had a plump pomegranate in her left hand. The fifth time the police fantasy fairy came out with an adjective sentence: cherry lips and fragrant pomegranate teeth. Pomegranate teeth describe teeth like pomegranate seeds. Pomegranate fruit each room crystal as agate gemstone seeds arranged neatly, full crystal clear, pleasing to the eye and festive, used to describe teeth, you can imagine how clean and white the teeth are.

Zhang ailing described the pomegranate seed in "Little Reunion": "it was the first time she saw the pomegranate, in which there were many red crystal dice, and after eating, she made a military array with nuclear weapons. A piece of pink sign paper was buttoned under the cover of the fruit basket. She put it under the bed, the red mud chaotic Qinhuai River, to fight across the river. " Crystal dice is used to describe the crystal clear pomegranate seed, which is very vivid. She also has a wonderful passage in "fun in apartment Life": "there are often children skating in the roof garden. When they are in high spirits, they grumble and tumble over our heads from morning till night, like the friction of porcelain and like sleeping people grinding their teeth there. We hear that one of our teeth is sour like a pomegranate in our gums, and it will fall off when we are scratched." A tooth in the gums sour like a green pomegranate, a scratch will fall off. This image is really amazing.

But this beautiful pomegranate seed is not enough to eat, but also can not eat well, each pomegranate seed only a little sweet juice to eat, and the pomegranate seed attached to the membrane skin is very bitter, not careful to eat is really bitter. Eating pomegranates is like eating melon seeds, you can't be impatient. Accidentally drop juice on the clothes, but hurry to wash, otherwise it will leave a faint mark on the clothes. However, juice can make wine, and pomegranate wine is common in ancient poems, such as "pomegranate wine in a bottle, grape pattern on the machine." "Yuji Xiwang peach, Li cup of pomegranate wine." "Pomegranate wine, grape pulp, Lan Guifang, Cornus officinalis. May you stay in Jinsan for a long time. "

"the residual red in the shadow of the hanging poplar. In a hurry. Only pomegranate flowers, do not blame Dongfeng. The twilight rain is urgent. Xiao Raven is wet. Green and exquisite. It looks like the first dye of a skirt, but it is generally the same. " The red skirt is called pomegranate skirt. Legend has it that Yang Guifei loves pomegranate flowers, eats pomegranates and wears pomegranate skirts. Ministers are very impolite to this imperial concubine and refuse to salute. When the Ming emperor knew this, he was furious and ordered all civil and military officials to bow down. Ministers had no choice but to see the pomegranate skirt from afar. When they saw the pomegranate skirt, they knew it was the imperial concubine and hurriedly saluted. So they "fell under the pomegranate skirt" one after another.

Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, who is strong and calm and loves to wear pomegranate skirts, once wrote a romantic and emotional song called Ruyi Niangqu: "look at Zhu Cheng Bishi one after another, haggard and separated in memory of the king." If you don't believe me, you have burst into tears and opened the box to check the pomegranate skirt. " She looked at Zhu Chengbi and she was haggard and separated. If you don't believe me, you might as well open the box for inspection. Please look at the tears on my pomegranate skirt. She is simply an ordinary woman with a soft heart. I don't know what kind of psychological process and what kind of life experience has made her the leader of the whole huge empire with an iron will.

Xiangling has a pomegranate skirt. The 62nd time of A Dream of Red Mansions is a "Han Xiangyun drunken Sleeping Paeonia lactiflora". Xiangling wears a garnet red silk skirt, brought by Baoqin, Baochai and assaulted people.

In late spring, the sun is warm, the flowers and grass grow, and the daughters in the Daguan Garden are decorated with makeup and flaming red pomegranate skirts in the brilliant spring, looking for strange flowers and plants, fighting for the names of fragrant flowers and plants. What a picture of leisurely and rich. Guess every day
