In June, mountain jujube blossoms

Go home on leave. When I was doing morning exercise, I suddenly found that the jujube flowers were blooming on the top of the hill.

You beautiful thing, are you funny? Or do you want to give me a gift? I bowed my head and smelled deeply, and a wisp of honey refreshed my stomach.

The mountain fields of my hometown are clustered with jujube trees, with Qiu branches and green leaves, more than one meter high, and the trunk is as thick as a finger, swaying with the wind. However, I think it is coquettish, like a literati with a name, character and number. Commonly known as kudzu needle, Yazi mountain jujube, as for the number, it is called sour jujube.

This mountain jujube is very individual, drought-resistant, barren-resistant, and there are many thorns in the branches all over the body. If you are gentle, it is also courteous; otherwise, take revenge, light will see blood, heavy will stay in the cortex, make you shudder.

Mountain jujube blossoms in June and July and hangs fruit in August and September. The flower, the size of the rice grain, the pentagonal mitral valve, the yellow-green color, the delicious fragrance, attracting the wind to attract butterflies; the fruit, centimeter length, oval ball, green red jade, bright purple, crisp mellow and sweet.

I remember that when I was a child, I used to go up to the mountain to pick dates with my hair. After a while, my pockets were bulging. If you have a relationship with anyone, give you a handful of mountain dates; if you don't play with anyone, there will be no dates to eat. At that time, bold, hands and legs are often punished by mountain jujube, hematoporphyrin together.

Mountain jujube is not only a pet for children, but also loved by adults. When the second uncle came back from the field, he always picked a bag and went to his house, with red jade beads on his plate to entertain guests. Grandma once made mountain jujube vinegar, which is not as strong as rice vinegar, but it has his fragrance. Xiangye in the village is an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who prescribes medicine with the kernel of mountain jujube, saying that this small nucleolus has the effects of tonifying the liver, calming the heart, collecting sweat, promoting fluid, treating insomnia, palpitation and dreaming, body deficiency and sweating, Jin deficiency and thirst.

In fact, what is even more amazing is the story told by Grandpa. Grandpa said that the mountain jujube is full of treasure. Mountain jujube leaves can be used to make tea for fitness and benevolence can be used as medicine. When Tang Xuanzong Li Longji got sick, it was cured by Sun Taichong, a Taoist monk in Songshan Mountain, with alchemy such as mountain jujube. Xuanzong gave a monument to the Tang Dynasty, which now stands in Songyang Academy.

In 696 AD, Empress Wu Zetian ascended Songshan Fengzen, the descending palace of Erxian Cave, where the monarch Xiuxian of Guzhu of the Zhou Dynasty lived. The local people offered sour jujube leaf tea. Wu Zetian was surprised after drinking it, and let it be the top grade in the palace. In the title of Ganxing, Yue Songshan simply changed the year name to the first year of long live Dengfeng.

There is no test of whether the story is true or false, but the tablet of Datang is there, and Songshan is still there. Mountain jujube haunts me in my dream from time to time.

I love mountain jujube, asked for from the society, return more!
