This month is the best time to appreciate osmanthus.China's osmanthus and the bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival have been associated with the cultural life of the Chinese people since ancient times. Many poets have written poems and lyrics to describe, praise, and even deify it. The series of Moon Palace myths, such as Chang'e flying to the moon and Wu Gang cutting the osmanthus tree, are also linked together by osmanthus. Han Zicang of the Song Dynasty wrote in his poem: "A guest in the moon once planted seeds, and no flower in the world dared to compete with it in fragrance", calling the sweet-scented osmanthus tree "the best among flowers". In modern times, after a popular selection, the osmanthus tree has jumped to the throne of the top 10 famous flowers. Osmanthus has many names. It is called "Gui" because its leaf veins are shaped like a Gui, it is called "Muxi" because of its dense material and texture like a rhinoceros, it is called "Yan Gui" because it is naturally distributed among the clustered rocks and ridges, and it is also called "Seven-Li Xiang" and "Nine-Li Xiang" because of its fragrant smell when it blooms and the fragrance can be smelled for miles. In China, following ancient examples, people make full use of the advantages of luxuriant branches and leaves and evergreenness of osmanthus fragrans and use it as a greening tree species. There is no fixed pattern for its configuration, such as planting in pairs, scattered planting, groups or rows. In traditional arrangements, there have been the titles of "two osmanthus flowers in the courtyard" and "double osmanthus flowers leaving fragrance" since ancient times. The four traditional famous flowers, magnolia, crabapple, peony and osmanthus, are often planted together in front of the courtyard to take the homophony of jade, hall, wealth and nobility, which means auspiciousness. Selection of famous ancient poems about Mid-Autumn Festival!1. When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky. I don’t know what year it is in the palace of heaven... People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions; the moon waxes and wanes; it is impossible to have everything in life. I wish you a long life, and we can enjoy the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart. ——Su Shi's "Water Melody"2. Wait for the moon and raise your glass to drink the fragrant wine in the green and clear sky. Worship the falling table of the Huaxing, and make an appointment with the floating raft of the bright moon. ——Wen Tianxiang's "Reply to Dong Tiju's Mid-Autumn Banquet" 3. The ground in the courtyard is white, crows are roosting on the trees, and the cold dewdrops are silently wetting the osmanthus flowers. The moon is bright tonight and everyone is looking at it, but I wonder whose house the autumn thoughts fall on? ——Wang Jian, "Watching the Moon on the 15th Night" 4. The evening clouds have all disappeared, leaving behind the chill, and the Milky Way is silently turning like a jade plate. This night in this life will not last long, where will I see the bright moon next year? ——Su Shi, "Mid-Autumn Moon" 5. The bright moon rises over Tianshan Mountain, among the vast sea of clouds. The wind blows for thousands of miles, passing through Yumen Pass. ——Li Bai's "Moon over Guanshan" 6. The bright moon rises over the sea, and people all over the world share this moment. The lover complains about the long night, and misses his lover all night long! ——Zhang Jiuling, "Looking at the Moon and Missing the Distant" 7. Go up to the west tower quickly, for fear that the sky will be clear and the floating clouds will cover the moon. But call for the jade flute, and blow it to pieces... If the moon were as full as this night, people might not necessarily support our farewell. ——Xin Qiji, "Man Jiang Hong" 8. The journey is long and the autumn scenery is light, while the oars made of orchid and cinnamon are filled with the fragrance of heaven. The moon is bright and round, and the people are thousands of miles away. The wind is strong and the sails are light, and the swallows are flying in a group. ——Zhang Huangyan, "Mid-Autumn Festival on a Boat" 9. The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown. ——Du Fu, "Remembering My Brothers on a Moonlit Night" What is Mid-Autumn Festival?The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, August Festival, August Meeting, Moon-Chasing Festival, Moon-Playing Festival, Moon-Worshiping Festival, Daughters' Festival or Reunion Festival, is a traditional cultural festival popular among many ethnic groups in China and countries in the Chinese character cultural circle.
