Origin of fragrance

Wintersweet is a kind of precious flowers and trees unique to China. It is native to Qinling, Daba and Wudang Mountains in the middle of China. A large area of wild Prunus mume forest was found in Shennongjia, Hubei Province. In Liuzhuang village, Yanling County, Henan Province, almost all the houses in front of and behind the houses are planted with wintersweet, which is known as "the world's best plum of Liujialong". Liuzhuang village has a long history of planting wintersweet. It is said that wintersweet has no fragrant smell. The monarch of Yan state in the Western Zhou Dynasty (in the northwest of Yanling, Henan Province today) liked wax plum very much, but thought it was not fragrant. He ordered the gardener to let the plum blossom spit its fragrance within a time limit, or he would be severely punished.

At a loss, a hermit surnamed Liu brought some Prunus Rootstock to help graft on Huangmei. In the cold winter months, there are nine cold days, hundreds of flowers are withered, and the buds of wintersweet send out fragrance. The emperor Longyan is very happy, the gardener is safe, and Yanling wintersweet is developed. Wintersweet is not a kind of plum. They are closely related. In plant taxonomy, Chimonanthus belongs to chimonanthaceae, a deciduous shrub, while plum is a rose. Because they successively bloom in winter or early spring, and the flower shape and fragrance are similar, they are often mistaken as the same species. The flowers of Chimonanthus praecox are solitary on both sides of the branches, with most perianth, smaller inner layer and purplish red color; the middle layer is larger, yellow, slightly glossy and waxy; the outermost layer is composed of small scales. Sepals are similar to petals.

Verse

According to Wang Shimao's study of Yu Shu in xuepu, Wang Anshi wrote poems about Huangmei in the reign of emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty (1068-1077). Later, in the Yuanyou period of the Song Dynasty (1086-1094), Su Dongpo and Huangshan Valley, the literary giants of the generation, named it "Lamei" because they saw that Huangmei was like honey wax, saying that it was "fragrant like plum, made by women workers twisting wax, because it is called Lamei". Therefore, wintersweet is famous for a while and it flourishes in the capital. Later, when they chanted Lamei poems, they often worked hard on the word "wax". Such as "butterfly picking flowers into wax, will also batik flowers" and so on.

Of course, there are many poems of wintersweet, such as: "I will live in the end of the earth, depending on the material. The wintersweet is the most hateful. It grows into last year's flower. " "Smell the wild plum hair behind the temple. It's fragrant and dyed like palace yellow. Do not want to fold to cover the eyes, to know the spring to the pond. "," snowflakes don't dare to lose their true colors. The style is not plum. "
