Osmanthus tea

Introduction:

"A few days ago, I was walking by the river with my mother. She said," why isn't the osmanthus flower in bloom this year? " There was a slight disappointment in the words. I look around the osmanthus trees, as expected, only a few scattered flowers, there is a slanting neck, half dead to hang his head, think it is the summer strong typhoon Haikui came to blow crooked. At noon today, I was walking in the Bay downstairs with my dog Pipi. Suddenly, a strong fragrance came to my face. I was surprised to find that the osmanthus trees on the roadside were full of small rice like flowers. The light yellow ones were too small to see the stamens. They were young and lovely like a baby hiding among the oval green leaves. The fragrance of Osmanthus fragrans is very strong, not as quiet and elegant as orchid. So when I was young, I hated the smell of Osmanthus fragrans very much. I thought that the fragrance of Osmanthus fragrans was not high, just like the idle flowers and weeds on the roadside, so that when my mother wanted to add sweet osmanthus into the sweet taro, she would take hunger strike as a threat. Many years later, now standing under these laurel trees, I unexpectedly like the fragrance of Osmanthus fragrans in August. Yes, there is no fragrance like that of Osmanthus fragrans, which is so wanton and arrogant that it can't hide or hide. The soft and small flowers have a wild power, which can make a strong fragrance in the autumn when all flowers wither away. Because it can't move people with its posture, and it can't create brilliance with its color, it volatilizes the fragrance given by nature in a crazy way, which makes the air in August full of sweet fragrance. No wonder Li Gang, the famous Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, regarded Osmanthus fragrans as a confidant. In his later years, he retired to Fuzhou and planted osmanthus trees in his garden, watering them every day and cultivating them carefully. When he was in the study titled guizhai, he wrote down the words of caisangzi: You Fang is not the spring light, but the autumn wind, and the fragrance is stronger than the rest of the flowers. Step by step, jincui people are like jade, blowing longcong, blowing longcong, just like meeting under the Yaotai moon. This kind of mood, in addition to the osmanthus trees in full bloom, not soaked in the tears of struggle, we are afraid it is difficult to understand. So I used to dislike the low style of Osmanthus fragrans. After a thousand sails, I found that we missed so many beautiful things because we were picky. Because we were frivolous, we misunderstood the fragrance of the garden. How complicated was the old man in guizhai more than 100 years ago? Cloud water dusk, return to distant smoke? Only these osmanthus trees can know him! Yes, Jingkang is shameful, but I can only look at my home and country in the North! The branches are made up of golden pistils, with the fragrance of ten miles and the fragrance of ten miles. It's hard to grow old when the water is stored in a jade pot. The window is clear and bright, and the residual English is yellow. Forget it. What do you want to do? What can't be done a thousand years ago, still can't be done a thousand years later. It's better to make a cup of sweet scented osmanthus tea, taste tea, eat tea, and scatter all those sorrows in the past
