How to water Sophora japonica? How to water and raise. How often should you water? ． ．

There is a saying among Chinese people: "A locust tree in front of the door will either attract treasure or bring in wealth." Here, people regard the locust tree as an auspicious tree that attracts wealth.

The Chinese people regard the locust tree as the embodiment of good fortune, which stems from the fact that they first regard it as the dwelling place of gods. If we trace the origin, it should originate from the Zhou Dynasty. It is recorded in "Tai Gong's Golden Chamber": "King Wu asked Tai Gong: There are so many gods in the world. I'm afraid there will be a test. How to treat them." Tai Gong said: "Please plant a locust tree in the king's gate. It will be beneficial to others, and it will not be beneficial to others." "

This is a conversation between King Wu of Zhou and Taigong Jiang about sacrificing to the gods. King Wu said to Taigong: There are many gods in the world, how will we arrange their rest? Taigong replied: Please plant a locust tree inside the palace gate. The social god now has a place to live.

It is recorded in "Spring and Autumn Wei·Shuo Inscription": "The locust tree is the essence of the virtual star." Here, the locust tree is given a magical color, saying that it is the incarnation of the elves in the sky.

It is recorded in "Hanshu Five Elements Chronicles": "In the fourth year of Emperor Zhao's founding, the large locust tree in Shanyin Society was cut down by officials, but it returned to stand on its own at night as before." It can be seen that the locust tree is magical and abnormal. . Therefore, in addition to providing shade, ancient people planted Sophora japonica to seek good omens and send blessings.

In ancient times, people were deeply influenced by the idea of ??"influence between heaven and man", and regarded the prosperity and decline of locust trees as a sign of prosperity and disaster. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty·Five Elements Chronicles" records: "On Renwu in the tenth month of the fifth year of Emperor Ling's reign, the locust trees behind the palace where the emperor lived were all surrounded by sixty-seven trees. They had torn themselves out and fell with their roots on top." Note: "Chen Zhao said: The locust trees are among the three nobles. Xiang is the most precious person. Emperor Ling was promoted without virtue when he was enthroned. If he was greedy and foolish, he would be promoted. If he deposed the virtuous man, he would plant the locust tree upside down. How can it be so?"

I am talking about Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty here. At that time, a large locust tree sixty-seven meters thick fell down for no reason, with its roots pointing upward. Some people believed that the locust tree was a symbol of the three princes. The current situation is consistent with the fact that the court does not distinguish between the wise and the foolish, and deposes the loyal and invades the traitors. The Eastern Han Dynasty is probably about to fall. . Sure enough, the Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed soon.

The ancients also regarded the locust tree as the auspicious locust tree. Naixian of the Yuan Dynasty recorded that in the Confucius Forest in Qufu, there is a chapter of "ancient Sophora japonica, with crooked branches (simple pronunciation, the original meaning is lame), its skin is like a dragon and phoenix with carved seal characters, and is as thin as silk hair. Even if you are good at painting, no one can do it." Because of its ingenuity,...everyone who saw it was very respectful and loved it, because it was recorded as Ruiyun." Therefore, the ancient Sophora japonica was called "Rui Sophora japonica", and "Kong Lin's Song of Rui Sophora japonica" was written to praise it. Ancient people also regarded the connected locust branches as a symbol of good luck. "Book of Southern Qi Xiangrui Zhi" records: "In May of the first year of Yongming, the trees are connected. In the leap month, the southern locust trees in the outer pavilion of Xuanming Hall are connected."

Because "Zhou Li·Qiu Guan·Court Scholars" says: "There are three locust trees in front of you, and the three public positions are there" (see above). Three locust trees were planted outside the palace, representing Sima, Situ and Sikong. Therefore, the term "Huai Ding" is used to refer to the highest position under the king. The Zhou people also planted nine locust trees on each side of the court, called "Nine Thorns" (the original meaning of "thorns" is jujube), to distinguish the taste of the courtiers. The nine thorns on the left symbolize the rank of duke, minister, and doctor, followed by the officials; the nine thorns on the right symbolize the titles of duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, followed by the officials.

It is also the lofty political status of Sophora japonica that is regarded as the "Three Lords", so in ancient times the Sophora japonica tree was regarded as a symbol of good omen in ancient Kedi. According to "Sanfu Huangtu": "In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (90 BC), Mingtang (Mingtang: the place where the emperor in ancient times declared politics and religion. All court meetings, sacrifices, celebrations, selection of scholars, pensions, teaching and other ceremonies were held here Held.) Piyong is the 30th district of Boshe, which is a meeting place, but there are hundreds of locust trees. This is the first day of every month in the lunar calendar, when the moon and the sun appear at the same time. The students gathered together (like going to a market), each holding objects and scriptures from his county, doing business with each other, talking gracefully and respectfully, talking and chatting together (that is, conversing happily together). Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, Chang'an was known as "Sophora City", which refers to the city where scholars gathered and traded. It was named because of the large number of Sophora trees in its land. It is also known as the "school market". In "The Statement of His Highness Fenghe Yongfeng" written by Gengxin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there is a poem that says "the green locust tree hangs down from the school market, and the long poplar trees reflect the straight hut". Tang Yuanzhen's "Student Gu Qin Pan" also said: "When I look blue and purple in the path, I like to go to the Sophora japonica market; the graceful rhyme of the gusi tung tree makes the wind flow smoothly."

Later, there were also people who used Sophora japonica to learn fingering Palace, school building. A poem written by Wu Yuanheng of the Tang Dynasty in "Remuneration for School Books" says: "Pengshan's high price spreads new charm, and Huaishi's Fang Nian Ji is famous." You can imagine the mood in Chang'an Academy in the Tang Dynasty.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination has been related to the fame, fortune, glory and wealth of scholars. It is their highest ideal to climb up the ladder and win the position of the Three Dukes. Therefore, Sophora japonica is often used to refer to scientific examinations. The year of the examination is called Huaiqiu, the person who raises his son to take the examination is called Tahuai, and the month of the examination is called Sophora huang.

He stayed at home and wrote new articles, which was called a summer class. There were also ten people and five people serving wine and wine. People say: "The locust flowers are yellow, and the children are busy."

"It also means that in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the unsuccessful candidates did not leave the capital for six months and studied hard behind closed doors, wrote new articles, and asked people to write private exams. When the locust trees turned yellow, they dedicated their new articles to Relevant officials asked for recommendation. Many poets of later generations wrote about it.

As far back as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Yuan of the Southern Dynasties wrote a poem in "Chang'an Road": "The carved saddle bears the ocher sweat, and the red dust rises on the locust road." It shows that the roads in the Southern Dynasties are still characterized by locust roads. The poem "Luoyang Road" written by Chen Hou in the Southern Dynasties says: "The willow flowers are dark in the dust, and the locust trees are exposed in the middle." "It shows that the street trees in Luoyang at that time were also locust trees. Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem "Sending Qiu to Tangzhou": "The locust trees are overcast in the clear day, and the poplar flowers are like late spring" (Tangzhou, now Tang County, Henan Province), Zheng Gu of the Tang Dynasty " The poem "Feelings of Feelings": "I sing about the horse leaving the locust road, dreaming about the hometown of fishing rods and pens in the distance". The locust color and locust road in the poem refer to the locust trees on the road. Because there were so many locust trees on the road in Henan in the Tang Dynasty. Commonly, there is "Nanke Ji" written by Li Gongzuo. This story tells that a man was drunk and lying next to the ancient locust tree next to his house. He dreamed of entering the Dahuai'an Kingdom, marrying the princess, being the prefect of Nanke for 20 years, and giving birth to five sons. The two girls enjoy all the glory and wealth, but when they wake up, they are in a dream of Nanke. The so-called Nanke country here is the ant nest under the trunk of the locust tree. Duan Chengji of the Tang Dynasty wrote in his poem "The Works of Meeting with Yang Yanheng": "A few days ago. Years of running towards Sophora japonica, My feet are on a long road in the world of mortals. "Sophora Flower" by Luo Ye of the Tang Dynasty: "There are many bronze camels outside the palace gate, and these are the most planted on both sides. When the Qing Dynasty approaches, we will fight to open the golden pistils and go to Guanhe River. "Weng Cheng of the Tang Dynasty praised "Inscription on Sophora japonica": "In the rain, I look at the yellow with makeup, and the sound of cicadas is alluring to send the sunset. "

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian's poem "Second Rhyme Interpretation of Wenjiang" said: "The Sophora japonica urges the children to bloom with yellow flowers and come to eat at the beams on the Handan Road. "Su Shi's "Ci Yun Zeng Zi Kai Farewell" contains the words "The locust street is green and dark, and the rain is beginning to even out, and the auspicious mist and fragrant wind fill the dust"; Liu's poem in the Jin Dynasty "The ancient road is overcast with old locust trees, returning to the Hong Yao Yao Di flowers in autumn." ; In the poem "Farewell to Liu Tangqing" by Fan Chengda of the Southern Song Dynasty, there are famous lines such as "The heroes are trapped in the yellow light of the locust tree, so they can go to the book window to find this life." p>

Throughout the ages, among all the poems and poems about locust trees, three famous literati from the Three Kingdoms period praised the locust trees in their "Sophora Ode" written by Wang Can: "Only the wonderful tree in the middle hall. Endowed with natural grace. They colonized the area beyond the domain and became the brilliance of the courtyard. The shape of the cotton persimmon is smooth and the color is bright and bright. The luxuriant and luxuriant leaves are full of tranquility and bloom in the middle of summer. Since it is established in the palace province, its roots are profound and profound. Birds flutter their wings when they want to perch, and people spread their lapels when they want to be sheltered. " In this Fu, he gave a comprehensive and high-level overview of the characteristics of the Sophora japonica tree. Cao Pi, who was at the same time, also wrote a poem "Sophora japonica Fu", in which he wrote: "There are beautiful trees in a big country, but the quality of the trees is commendable. The spirit is rooted in the rich soil and is illuminated by the brilliance of the sun and the moon. There is a long corridor around it with open toes, and a straight door with parallel lines. Inheriting Suiyu from Wenchang, look forward to the music of the wind. The pruning stems are diverse and bright, the green leaves are luxuriant and the shade is heavy. The upper part is secluded and covered with clouds, the lower stem is upright and lifts the heart. The end of spring is the beginning of the first summer. The wild geese fly to see off the festival, and the flying wind welcomes the good times. The sky is clear and warm, and the air is calm and peaceful. It goes against the intense heat and is suitable for the body. Who says this is unpleasant? " And his younger brother Cao Zhi praised the locust tree in his "Ode to Sophora japonica": "I admire the beauty of the tree, and love is more precious than the supreme. In the Hua Dian of Wenchang, forest rows stand at the end of the gate, and you can watch the red pine trees vibrating the strips. According to Wenbi, it takes root. Smooth the sinking Yin and cover it with Pu, just like the favor of the Queen of the Ming Dynasty. In Jichun, it is first luxuriant, and in summer it becomes more abundant after practicing Zhu. The flaming scene covers the yang essence, spreading and shining to increase the freshness. "

In China, there has been a folk song like this: "Ask me where my ancestors came from? The big locust tree in Hongtong, Shanxi. Ask me where my hometown is? Under the big locust tree, there is an old stork's nest. "It refers to the history of immigrants from Shanxi. The "Hongdong County Chronicle" of the Republic of China records: "The big locust tree is on the left side of Guangji Temple in the north of the city. According to the "Tongkao of Documents", Shanxi people migrated to Beiping, Shandong, Henan and other places many times between Hongwu and Yongle of the Ming Dynasty. They used the tree as a gathering place. It is said that Guangji Temple set up a bureau to appoint personnel and issued certificates and Sichuan capital. Because of the passage of time, there are no locust trees left, and tribute was paid to Bing Xian. " What we are talking about here is that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a Han locust tree next to Guangji Temple in the north of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province. "The tree is surrounded by several trees and can shade several acres." In the early Ming Dynasty, in view of the long years of war and the desolation of the Central Plains, the imperial court organized many times to organize Shanxi The people moved to Yilu, Henan, Anhui and other places. At that time, Hongdong County was densely populated and located on a major transportation road, so there were many immigrants every time. The government "set up a bureau" at Guangji Temple for all immigrants. , all gathered here to register and "issue licenses and Sichuan capital", and then moved in formation here. It is said that at that time, the Ming Dynasty government posted a notice to deceive the people, saying: "Those who do not want to move should go under the big locust tree. To gather, you must arrive within three days. Those who wish to migrate can wait at home. "After hearing the news, people rushed to the ancient locust tree with their families in tow. On the third day, hundreds of thousands of people gathered under the big locust tree. Suddenly a large group of officers and soldiers surrounded the people under the big locust tree. To the common people, an official announced the Ming Emperor’s order, “Anyone who comes under the big locust tree will be moved away. "Due to forced immigration, the immigrants embarked on a journey away from their hometowns here. They dragged their children with them, supported the old and young, cried sadly, looked back frequently, and drifted away. The faces of their relatives gradually became blurred, and they could only Seeing the big locust tree and the old locust nest on the big locust tree have become a symbol of immigrants' farewell to their hometown. According to research, the ancient large locust tree in Hongdong is distributed in 227 counties in 11 provinces and cities across the country. .

The locust tree has become a place where immigrants can remember their ancestors. Therefore, when immigrants arrive in new places to build villages, they often plant a locust tree in the most prominent places in the village, such as crossroads, T-junctions or at the entrance of the village to express their feelings. Commemoration of immigration activities and nostalgia for ancestors in their homeland. As time goes by, the young Sophora japonica becomes the Ancient Sophora japonica, and the Ancient Sophora japonica becomes the symbol of hometown and ancestors.

According to what my father told me, our ancestors with the surname Zhou also migrated from under the big locust tree in Hongdong County to Xichuan County, Henan Province. The small toenails on our two feet are double. It is the mark left by the ancestors for their descendants when they migrated.
