When those red berries come in spring, run to your southern branches, take them home and hug them for me as a symbol of our love. Acacia is a five-character quatrain written by Wang Wei, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, which makes red beans the most famous acacia beans through lyric. So throughout the ages, I don't know how many people send acacia beans. When relatives and friends are not at home, they always bring a acacia bean to their relatives to express their thoughts. Lovers also give love beans to each other as a symbol of love.
Red bean, plant name, also known as acacia. There is a proverb: "Love is red bean." Biyun said: "Hong is a lover, so I hope you can collect it after breaking up to increase his feelings. Yuan Zhen's poems show the courage of a heart and flowers. Guo Moruo once verified the famous Compendium of Materia Medica written by Wang Wei. As a result, he found a plant called adzuki bean in Dinghushan. Its fruit ripens in autumn, and its seeds naturally jump out of its shell, scarlet, like a beating heart. However, southerners are used to calling gum Arabic, gum Arabic and red beans red beans.
Portulaca oleracea only grows in a few areas of China, such as Yunnan and Hainan. Red beans grow on high cliffs, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. Nature endows them with special qualities: hard as diamonds, bright as blood, heart-shaped like a beating heart, shiny red, non-decaying, crystal clear and non-fading. Its shape and lines are heart-shaped. Its particle shape is very large, with a diameter of about 8-9mm. Red beans in other areas south of the Yangtze River are not only small, but also Darkmouth. This Darkmouth bean is commonly known as "lover's tears".
So why did the ancients call red beans acacia beans?
Legend has it that in ancient times, a person went to war. His wife leans against a big tree on the high mountain and prays every morning and evening. She often cries because she misses her lover at the border. Tears dried up and red blood dripped out. Blood drops turn into red beans and fall to the ground to take root and sprout. Day after day, when spring comes to Qiu Lai, bean sprouts grow into big trees and are full of red beans. People call it acacia beans.
In other words, a long time ago, a beautiful girl, a companion who ran away in search of a happy spring, cried on a distant hillside every day. Tears sprinkled on the branches gave birth to red hearts and red beans. People call these red beans "love beans".
There is also a saying that it is said that it was born by Han Ping, the wife of Song Kangwang, and He Shi, the wife of Song Kangwang during the Warring States Period. According to Jin Gan Bao (1 1) and Hongdou, Han Pin, the wife of Song Kangwang, and He Wei, his beautiful wife, were captured and imprisoned by Kang Wang. If it was suicide, why did you die in Taiwan Province Province? The suicide note will be buried with your bones. Wang nu, Foting, let the villagers bury them and look at each other across the grave. Soon, at the end of the two cemeteries are huge catalpa bungeana trees. They are bent, with roots at the bottom and branches at the top. Another mandarin duck, half male and half female, often lives in a tree and hums around her neck. Song people mourned, so they called their tree "Sophora japonica".
Red beans, as lovers' lovesickness, have caused countless sentimental love stories since ancient times. Little known, however, is that red beans contributed to the emergence of academic monographs.
The late historian Chen Yinke was the president of Southwest United University during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time. He saw some books in the newspaper and then drove there. He found that all the books sold were of poor quality and none of them were satisfactory. Facing the owner's concern and guilt, he asked the owner what he could sell besides books. The host hesitated for a long time and replied, "I live in the old thousand gardens in Changshu White Cat Harbor. I found the seed of a red bean tree in the garden. I want to give it to you as a gift. " Teacher Wen was overjoyed and bought it. He has hidden it in the bookcase for 20 years. 1964, teacher Chen wrote Looking for Ji Shen. The preface of the poem is: "When I was old, I lived in Kunming and bought a red bean in Changshu Port, Qian's hometown. Since I explained the reason why Qian Liu was born, I have not belonged to the grass for twenty years. " This is the origin of teacher Zhang's masterpiece Red Bean Poetry.
In the folk, like jade, acacia beans are a kind of spiritual wealth. When a man and a woman are engaged, they will send a bunch of love beans that they wish for, and then they can fall in love smoothly. When getting married, the bride will wear a bracelet or necklace made of red acacia beans on her wrist or neck to symbolize that both men and women will grow old together. After marriage, put six love beans under the pillow of husband and wife respectively, which can ensure that husband and wife are concentric and maintain a good relationship for a hundred years.
At present, decorations made of acacia and red beans are very popular in southern China. Fashion women are proud of wearing exquisite red bean ornaments. Lovers choose acacia jewelry to express their love for each other.
