Since ancient times, people have always liked to use cardamom to describe girls in their prime of life who are thirteen or fourteen years old. It seems that as soon as this word appears, it always brings a youthful and lively atmosphere to people. . The word cardamom has a long history, and today we will take a closer look at it.

Cardamom is originally a perennial evergreen herb, shaped like a banana leaf, with light yellow flowers, oblate spherical fruits, and seeds like pomegranate seeds, which can be used as medicine. Cardamom is divided into original cardamom and Indonesian cardamom. It is a kind of herbal medicine that can be used to stimulate appetite and digestion and treat food accumulation. When the cardamom flower is about to bloom, it has a shy and timid beauty, probably like a little girl in her youth!

The use of cardamom to describe girls can be traced back to Du Mu's poem "One of Two Farewell Poems", in which "Pingping Niao Niao Thirteen, Cardamom Shaotou in early February" was the first to use cardamom. To describe the girl's smart and cute appearance, we also know that cardamom specifically refers to the age of a girl when she is thirteen or fourteen years old. This poem was written by Du Mu to his confidante Zhang Haohao when he left Yangzhou. Zhang Haohao was only about thirteen years old at the time, but she was already a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River at that time. Zhang Haohao was very talented and proficient in music. He was also very good at calligraphy, painting, and poetry. He and Du Mu fell in love at first sight, but Du Mu had to leave Yangzhou because of his official position. He wrote the poem before leaving, and even used cardamom to praise Zhang Hao's delicate and beautiful appearance.

Nowadays, we still use cardamom to describe girls in their youth. This word is very precious, because there is only a period of time in a life that can be called cardamom years. I hope that girls can cherish it. My cardamom years are worthy of my time. ?
