The history of Longchangsu

Yunding Township (Village) in Longchang County, Sichuan Province is the discovery place of the world famous orchid "Longchangsu". Text: In the yamen built in the first year of Ming Dynasty (1567), the garden landscape was decorated with orchids such as Qiu Lan and Pearl Orchid.

Longchang County Chronicle has been published for thirty-eight years, and (1875) Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty was thirteen years. There are two kinds of orchids, namely the orchids in China gardens. There are famous orchids, such as carp, Zhu Lan, Ceylon and Cymbidium, with Cymbidium as the crown.

Also included: Kangxi Xiaolian and Yongzheng Guimao () chanted pottery in their Poems on Shicheng Mountain (Genting); "Terrier nan crazy in love, angry. There are deep valleys among orchids, and the city is fragrant. In "Getting Up Early in Genting Mountain Study", he said: "The song is clear, the sky is brighter, and the array is more shaking. Look at the new look, Nangang Xiangman is at home. "

According to another record, born in 2000 was the ancestor of the Guo family in the fourth year of Ming Hongwu (1372). After he came to Genting Mountain with his family from Macheng, Hubei Province, fourteen grandchildren chanted "Song", "It's cold in the ground and cold in the weather, and there are still a few flowers in the peak. The pale face is covered with frost, and the old and withered scales are raining and sad. Ye Yun in front of the bamboo lane, * * * in front of the blue window. Know more about strength and justice, and every partner is in the west of Mei 'ao Ridge.

Huang, the county magistrate, chanted in the Department of Flowers: "The trees in the courtyard are mixed with orchids, and the old trees in the house are heavier." "Like Shushan, Shushui and Chujiangdu, the jungle is full of wind."

The above poems all involve orchids, especially Chunlan. It can be seen that hundreds of years ago, wild orchids grew under the forest of Genting Mountain, which was widely cultivated in urban and rural areas, with the Guo family as the winner. According to legend, the ancestors of the Guo family fell in love with Genting orchids when they entered Sichuan, so there is a saying that they settled after smelling the incense. Occasionally, the orchid is regarded as auspicious, passed down from generation to generation and never flows out. So it spread among the people: Guo Jia Niu Ma Chun Su.

Eupatorium adenophorum produced in Longchang area is known as "spring element", "summer element" and "autumn element". According to the survey, there was no such thing as "Longchangsu" before 196 1 year, so where did "Longchangsu" named after local place names come from? This is due to President Zhu De. According to "Central Leadership Inspects Longchang" compiled by the Party History Research Office of Longchang County Committee, President Zhu De visited Longchang on April/7, 196 1. Walking into the conference room of Longchang Gas Mine Guest House, Comrade Zhu De saw a pot of jasper and green orchids, and while fondling bluegrass happily, he praised and said, "Longchang bluegrass is very famous, and Longchang Su really deserves its reputation. Very good! Very good! " Since then, Longchang has won the title of Longchang Su. It is true that celebrities love famous orchids, and famous orchids offer celebrities and become famous all over the world. At that time, the county party Committee knew that his old man loved Lan all his life, so he got a big pot of "Longchangsu" in a famous doctor's office and divided it into several small pots to give to Comrade Zhu De. At that time, the specific handler was Comrade Xie Zhiyun, the public security director who served as the security work. He recalled: Comrade Chen Yanjun and I put orchids for Comrade Zhu De on the train and sent five pots in the orchid box of the special train. This trunk is covered with bluegrass, and some of them are still in bloom. It smells good.

Rongchang scholars want to find out the name "Su"

A few days ago, Huang, the former vice chairman of CPPCC in Rongchang County and an expert on immigration and Hakka culture, suggested that Longchang Su should be restored to Su Xinlan, or the scientific name "Soft Leaf Spring Sword Su".

"When Mr. Zhu De visited Longchang, everyone knew that Longchangsu was very famous, but this pot of bluegrass was actually moved from a villager's home in Anfu, Rongchang." Huang said that before Zhu De came to Longchang Carbon Black Factory, Longchang County Committee knew that he loved orchids, so he sent the curator of Longchang Cultural Center to Zhangjia, Anfu Town, Rongchang County, and brought a pot of soft leaf gladiolus to Longchang. At that time, it was exchanged with 20 Jin of Sichuan food stamps.

"When it comes to Longchang Su, many people will mistakenly think that their hometown is Longchang." Huang believes that "Longchangsu" should be restored to "Su" or the scientific name "Soft Leaf Spring Knife Su" should be used.

According to the introduction of China Japanese Orchid Association, 19591February, when Mr. Kenzo Matsumura of Japan visited China to improve Japan-China relations, President Zhu De presented several pots of famous flower orchids to Mr. Matsumura as souvenirs. As a beginning, in April of 1963, Mr. Matsumura invited Mr. Liao Chengzhi, the head of China's liaison with Japan, to "invite the China Orchid Delegation to visit Japan". At that time, China sent Mr. Sun Pinghua, Secretary General of the China-Japan Friendship Association, as the head of the delegation and an orchid expert to visit Japan, and the orchid exchange between Japan and China has continued to this day. Long Changsu was sent to Japan as an elegant and holy friendly messenger. 1987 At the 12 World Orchid Expo held in Tokyo, Japan, Longchangsu, a China orchid presented by Miyuki Nakamura, Japan, was awarded as a world-famous orchid.
