Chapter 716: Endless Sea of Flowers
Cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan.
Every spring and summer, from the southernmost island of Okinawa to the northernmost Hokkaido, the cherry blossoms bloom for months depending on the seasons and climate.
Many people who love cherry blossoms, both in Japan and abroad, follow this route from south to north, calling it "Sakura Travel", and a large number of cherry blossom cultures have been born from this.
In fact, if you look at the absolute number of cherry blossoms planted, there are not necessarily fewer cherry blossoms in China than in Japan.
China does not have a national flower.
Cherry blossoms can't be, no matter how many they are, the cultural symbols don't match at all.
So, what are the conformities?
The answer is no.
There is no kind of flower that can completely and completely interpret the image and temperament of such a great country.
China too.
Huaxia is no more.
It's it, it's her, it's it.
It's all too complicated.
From thousands of years ago, to the present.
People who are familiar with history, or even primary and secondary school students, often come across such a sentence when studying history: "XX year BC ......"
A lot of people are used to it.
But in fact, the "big history" is in this.
A.D. is not the point.
The focus is on BC.
King Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, came to the world, and said "the first emperor", that year, it was 221 years before the Common Era. ——
What this means is that before the birth of the Common Era, more than two hundred years ago, we already had a unified political empire, and before that, we experienced a cultural explosion earlier, which was a feast of civilization.
Then.
Thousands of years have come all the way.
Several reunifications, several collapses, many prosperous times, and several declines.
He once stood at the pinnacle, smiling proudly in the world, and led the way on top of the world, and also experienced the darkest of the world, the country was overturned, the civilization was declining, and the lifeblood of the nation was tied to the enemy's horses' hooves and guns.
We laughed.
We've cried too.
We've been proud.
We were so disappointed and disappointed that we despaired.
We have experienced what others have experienced, we have experienced what others have not experienced, and we have experienced what others have experienced, are experiencing, and will experience in the future.
We've all been there.
And all those experiences have been precipitated in thousands of years, and turned into "Twenty-four History" and "Hundred Schools of Thought".
Transformed into "Ode to Peony".
turned into "Ai Lian Said".
Transformed into "Bamboo and Stone Map".
turned into "Poplar Praise".
......
What single flower could represent such an experience?
No.
Even the compound one is difficult.
Therefore, China does not have a national flower.
Then, many people, in appreciation, love all "beauty".
At this moment, Ji Yan, Zhao Lan, and Qian Xiaoqin enjoyed the cherry blossoms like rain for a while under the lush cherry blossom trees, and took turns taking pictures frantically, and then they moved to a large pear tree on the adjacent side.
The pear blossoms are blooming, white as jade.
The pink and white of cherry blossoms is beautiful, and the white of pear blossoms is also beautiful, the former is colorful, and the latter is warm.
Even when I took pictures, I showed some differences.
When they were under the cherry blossom tree, the three girls ran and laughed and laughed, crazy, and when they got to the pear blossom tree, they took more quiet lady photos.
Zhao Lan even said that she would change into a white dress tomorrow and come here to take pictures again.
The smell of cherry blossoms is faint, and the traces are not smelly.
The pear blossom is fragrant, but it is not famous for its taste.
At this moment, the three of them were under the pear blossom tree, among the pear blossoms, unconsciously sniffing, but smelling a strong intoxicating fragrance.
"What kind of fragrance is this?" Ji Yan's nose sniffed.
"Not here. Qian Xiaoqin said, "I'm familiar with this smell, I've definitely smelled it! You wait, I think about it, I must be able to remember!"
However, after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't think about it.
Qian Xiaoqin was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
The noise of people in the distance helped them determine their direction, and the three of them pedaled on it, and after about seven or eight minutes, they saw a patch of purple in front of them.
When I got closer, I realized that it was a sea of purple flowers.
Countless tourists like them wander around the world in this long flower that can't see the edge.
Not only tourists, but also a large number of butterflies and bees.
Especially butterflies.
The flowers are large, purple and white, like grapes, hanging in bunches.
There is a meter high that can be touched, there are two meters high hanging above the head, there are three meters, four meters or even more than ten meters high, spreading to form a "flower mountain", "flower sea", and this piece, I don't know how many acres, or dozens of acres, or more.
A large number of butterflies fly in and out of these mountains and flowers, and the scene is dreamlike under the sun.
When they came to the front and integrated themselves into this sea of flowers, mountains and flowers, Ji Yan and the three of them were completely speechless, there was no praise or beauty, only fascination and complete intoxication.
So beautiful!
It's so fragrant!
Like many, many tourists, they had their faces upturned and their eyes closed.
Then, take a deep breath.
Exhale deeply, inhale deeply, back and forth, as if to open the whole body.
After a long time, Qian Xiaoqin was still fascinated and said: "Wisteria flowers! I never knew that wisteria flowers can be beautiful like this!
Then it's time to take pictures.
Take pictures like crazy.
This time, it's really crazy!
They shoot themselves, they shoot each other, then they shoot flowers, they shoot all kinds of flower stands, they shoot butterflies, dynamic, static.
Pat on the pat all the time.
It's as if your phone has unlimited power and unlimited capacity.
The car has been walking in this sea of purple and white flowers, which seems to be endless, but in terms of interest, none of Ji Yan and the three of them feel tired, and then, it is the factor of time that makes them barely sober up from their drunkenness, and adjust the direction of the car according to the map of their mobile phones.
However, I kicked and kicked, and unconsciously stepped into another sea of flowers.
It's still a rich fragrance, and you can smell it from afar.
But this time it's not intoxicating, it's refreshing.
Even if it's not intentionally to take a deep breath, it's the kind that naturally refreshes people's hearts.
I can't tell if it's a fresh fragrance, a warm fragrance, or a sweet fragrance.
"Huaihua! I like the honey of the acacia flower the most!" Zhao Lan shouted, "Hey, Yanzi, Qinzi, do you say there is any acacia nectar for sale here?"
Zhao Lan's grandmother and grandfather were beekeepers.
When she was a child, she had endless honey, and the most of those honeys were mixed nectar, and the only pure and unmixed was acacia nectar.
That is also Zhao Lan's childhood memory.
But that was a long, long time ago, and Zhao Lan's grandfather passed away one after another, almost ten or twenty years ago.
During this period, Zhao Lan did not drink honey again, but never drank the honey in his memory. Especially in recent years, not to mention the processed honey sold in the supermarket, it is a lot of primitive honey, and it is said to be the honey of the acacia flower, and Zhao Lan did not drink the taste in his memory.
I don't know if it's because her memory is wrong, the taste of childhood has been elevated to be beautiful, or if it's honey now, it's really not good.
But at this time, I came to another endless locust tree, and walked through this sea of white flowers, smelling the familiar smell and feeling the fragrance that penetrated into the heart.
Hidden memories resurfaced.
