Daylily is a kind of Chinese medicinal material. It is a plant and flower that can be used for both medicine and food. It is warm and cold in nature and slightly poisonous. It can usually be picked and used in its bud stage. It can be used in cooking. Stir-fried or dried, it can be used as stewed chicken, pig's feet, etc. as side dishes; especially when used in three delicacies soup, it tastes good and is delicious...

Yellow flowers are abundant in Yongzhou, Shaoyang, and Hengyang in Hunan. When guests come to the home or weddings or weddings occur, the local custom is that the last dish served at a banquet must be stir-fried yellow flowers. This is to tell the guests that the dishes are finished and everyone is ready. It means eating slowly.

The full sentence of the saying "The day lilies are cold" is: "By the time you finish the work, the day lilies will be cold"; (the last dish will be cold); the metaphor is:

p>

1. Someone is unreliable, procrastinates, and deceives others. He only talks nicely but has no results in the end.

2. In Hunan, Guizhou, Chongqing, Sichuan, and Yunnan, unmarried girls are collectively called "Huanghua girls" (yellow flower girls); the man invites a matchmaker to propose marriage, and the matchmaker is not good at eloquence and repeats several times. The first time it was unsuccessful, the man blamed the matchmaker for her inability to do the job: "By the time you say you can do it, the day lily will be cold", which means (the flowers have withered and the girls have been taken away by others).

3. (I only know so much)….

The day lily is cold, as the saying goes: By the time you hear that you have done something good, the day lily will be cold. It means that someone is unreliable in doing things, and has the meaning of contempt and disbelief. He is dishonest in doing things, likes to show off, likes to exaggerate, procrastinates, and deceives. He only talks nice things but doesn't really do it, or he misses the best opportunity. It's too late, unnecessary, and it doesn't work anymore.

Day lily is a kind of forget-me-not, Hemerocallis fulva. Its flowers are yellow, edible, and also used as medicine. I like to eat day lily. It is also called "day lily" in my local common name. It is fried or fried with eggs or lean meat. I love to cook soup. In the eyes of literati, yellow flowers also refer to yellow chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums can be used as medicine and also have many symbolic philosophical meanings. Plum blossoms in spring and chrysanthemums in autumn bloom covered with snow and frost. I also like the integrity of the four gentlemen: pine, plum, chrysanthemum and bamboo. In daily life, the unmarried and budding girl in the boudoir is often called Huang Hua Nu. The Huang Hua girl refers to her youth, beauty, purity, and everyone loves her. The day lilies are already cold, which can be used as a metaphor for waiting for a long time, it is already late, expired, boring, and no longer necessary. Of course, it also means that you can't wait any longer, and it is too late and useless. The flowers have withered, the girl has married someone else, it's too late, there's no need to say anything more.

In the past, marriage between men and women mostly followed the advice of matchmakers. But the matchmaker was powerless and couldn't talk to the yellow girl, who had already married someone else. At this time, you can say: the day lily is cold. This can be regarded as a saying of the nature of resting, resting means that everything is too late, irreversible, and there is no need to mention it again.

The allusion comes from Su Shi's famous line about chrysanthemums "Nanxiangzi, Chongjiu Hanhui Tower presents Xu Junyou", which was written on the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. Everything is just a dream in the end, and tomorrow's yellow flowers and butterflies will also be sad. , it means that if you miss the best time to enjoy chrysanthemums during the Double Ninth Festival and come back after the festival, the flowers will have withered and the bees and butterflies will no longer be interested. This is a metaphor for outdated things. Modern people often use euphemisms to express that someone is not punctual and is late.

Day lily is also called daylily, and in traditional Chinese medicine, it is called forgetwort. many. The postpartum women here like to eat daylily, which is said to have an auxiliary effect on lactation; people with dizziness can also eat it to improve their condition, and the elderly can have an auxiliary effect on the brain to improve memory.

Day lily is also called forgetwort, daylily, etc. China is also the origin of day lily, but in China more people talk about day lily than eat it! Just because of the sentence "the day lilies are cold".

Usually this sentence is said to mean that something is done slowly, it takes too long, and you can't wait any longer. Every time he hears this sentence, many questions pop up in Brother Li's mind. Is day lily very hot? Is it hard to cool down? How about killing Hua Xiong with wine? Does Chinese cabbage take longer to cool than daylily?

But those who have eaten day lily can know that this vegetable is no different from other vegetables. It will naturally cool down after being heated and has no heat preservation effect. So how did "the day lily is cold" come about?

Basically there are the following opinions:

The first one is that this day lily does not refer to the day lily we eat. "Yellow flower" is mostly used in the writings of literati. Refers to chrysanthemum. There are also poems that we often hear, such as: "People are thinner than yellow flowers", "The west wind passed through the courtyard forest last night, blowing down the yellow flowers and covering the ground with gold" and so on. And Su Shi once wrote a poem, "Everything is just a dream in the end, rest, tomorrow the yellow flowers and butterflies will also be worried." The last sentence means that if you go to enjoy the chrysanthemums after the Double Ninth Festival, it will not be so beautiful, and even the butterflies will be worried about it. There is a meaning of "late" here, and through folklore, "Huanghuadie" and "Huanghuadie" have the same pronunciation. Many people mistakenly think that they are day lilies, so that later it became "Day lilies are also cold". ”. This kind of rumor is quite credible. After all, people in ancient times were not very literate. It was common for messages to be processed and transformed by the transmitter during the transmission process. It is entirely possible for chrysanthemums to turn into day lilies.

The second theory is that in some areas of China, when giving banquets, it is customary to serve day lilies as the last dish. If you come back after the day lilies are cold, it will be too late. Out of politeness, I would not directly accuse others of being late, so I had to use "the day lily is cold" to refer to someone who came too late. Over time, such a saying has been formed.

The third theory is that day lily is originally a cucumber dish. Most cucumbers are eaten cold, which means they are cold themselves. If saying to others "the cucumbers are cold" is a contradiction in itself, why should we say it is cold when it is cold? Some people explain that this is a kind of ridicule, which is a deliberate and euphemistic criticism of those who are late. But I still feel it's a bit far-fetched.

The fourth type is also miscommunication in accent. It is said that day lily is not a cucumber dish, but a "twice-cooked dish". I don’t know where the dialect is from, but the pronunciation of “twice-cooked dish” is similar to that of “day lily”. Twice-cooked dishes are prepared and then reheated. If the twice-cooked dishes are cold again, it means they came back too late, so it should be "the twice-cooked dishes are all cold."

In any case, three of the above four rumors point to the same result. That is, the day lily in the sentence "the day lily is cold" is not the kind of day lily we eat now, but a folk evolution of other things. Only the second theory refers to day lily. But it doesn’t mean that the daylily itself is difficult to cool, but that it is served late.

Why are the day lilies cold?

Short answer: Huanghua (commonly known as) is a Chinese herbal medicine named Hemerocallis fulva, Hemerocallis fulva.

Hemerocallis represents "mother" (Chun Xuan Zhengmao), which means that day lily symbolizes the mother's nobility and greatness;

Huanghua folks call young and beautiful girls "Huanghua" Daughter".

Day lily is a daylily that is specially used by the people to cook and entertain nobles. The general meaning refers to the blind date between beauties in the boudoir;

And "the day lilies (not rape flowers) are all cold" means that the boys or girls have something to do and have been waiting for you, and the day lilies are all cold. It's over...

The day lily is cold. This sentence is a humorous joke. It is a metaphor for being late, not doing something good in time, too long, too late, too late, too late to wait. There was criticism in the words, but the criticism was not strong. It even contained a friendly smile, teasing and not hurting anyone's face.

Its origins are as follows: The first is that the saying comes from the metaphors of ancient literati.

Day lily is not the day lily we eat. "Yellow flower" mostly refers to chrysanthemum in the writings of ancient literati. For example: "People are thinner than yellow flowers", "Last night the west wind passed through the courtyard forest, blowing down the yellow flowers and covering the ground with gold", etc., which actually refers to yellow chrysanthemums. Su Dongpo once wrote a poem, "Everything is just a dream in the end. Rest, the yellow flowers and butterflies will be sad tomorrow."

The last sentence refers to the fact that going to appreciate chrysanthemums after the Double Ninth Festival will not be so beautiful. Butterflies are also worried about this. The yellow flowers here are chrysanthemums. Even insects are worried when they go "late". The meaning of "late" is very humorous and vivid. After spreading among the people, many people mistakenly think it is daylily, so that it later becomes "The day lily is also cold." The second theory is derived from food culture.

In some areas of our country, when giving banquets, it is customary to serve day lilies as the last dish. If you come back after the day lilies are cold, it will be too late.

Out of politeness, I directly accuse others of being late, and use "the day lilies are cold" to describe others who come too late. Over time, such a common saying has been formed. The third statement comes from the understanding of cucumber.

This saying is not widely circulated. It means that day lily originally refers to cucumber. Cucumber is suitable for eating cold, and it itself is cold. If saying "the day lilies are cold" to others is a contradiction in itself, people will use such inconsistent words to tease each other, deliberately criticizing those who are late. The fourth type is also misrepresentation in accent.

It is said that day lily is not a cucumber dish, but a "twice-cooked dish". Twice-cooked dish is a popular steamed dish delicacy among Sichuan folk, mainly in Suining, Chengdu, Mianyang and Chongqing in southwest Sichuan. The metaphor of twice-cooked dishes is a hint of forgetting the past, gaining new life, and welcoming a better life in the future. The pronunciation of "twice-cooked dish" is similar to that of "day lily". Twice-cooked dishes are meant to be cooked and then reheated. If the twice-cooked dishes are cold again, it means that you have come back too late and it is too late to regret it. Also called "the twice-cooked dishes are cold".

Generally speaking, more people agree with the first two statements.

Why is the daylily cold?

Today’s weather is quite warm. Although it is the end of the year and the temperature is still a few degrees, the afternoon sun is really warm on my body. My wife is sitting on the balcony with her mobile phone to bask in the sun. I was working in the study. After writing a question and answer, I asked her to come over and check my sentences and typos. Then, I used this leisure time to go to the kitchen to see how dinner was being prepared;

Of course, All the ingredients for dinner were prepared by my wife. I was only responsible for frying these ingredients in front of the stove. I walked around the kitchen and found a little problem;

I bought pigs in the morning The original plan was to use a pressure cooker to simmer a small pot of ribs and lotus root soup for the backbone, dried five-spice seeds, garlic, tripe and other ingredients, and stir-fry the tripe and garlic with the dried five-spice seeds. The lotus root was purchased in the supermarket. They didn't look like pink lotus roots, so I didn't buy them. I originally wanted to wait until after lunch to find time to go to the vegetable market near the community to buy them;

Everyone knows what happened after that, and I turned around. I forgot about it. After my wife checked the text for me and posted it, I took a sip of hot tea and picked up my phone to play a game. At this time, my wife spoke;

Hurry up and get the food. Let’s buy lotus roots from the market. If we don’t have lotus roots, we can just buy some radishes. Otherwise, we can only cook the ribs for dinner. I said nonchalantly: I’ll go there after I have a rest;

In a blink of an eye, It was around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and I was typing in front of the computer again. Outside the window, I could vaguely hear the nearby kindergarten starting to call the roll call. My wife came over and reminded me that the children are out of school. If you don't go to the vegetable market, day lily It's about to get cold;

I just saw this question this morning: Why are the day lilies getting cold? Instead of Chinese cabbage, or other vegetables are cold, so before going out, I said: Do you know the reason?

When I bought back the lotus roots, my wife immediately started peeling and cleaning them. I was still in the question-and-answer situation, so I asked: Why are the day lilies cold? My wife said: It doesn’t matter what dish it is, as long as our pork ribs and lotus root soup is not cold;

In response to the question, I went back to the study to check some information, and happily came to the kitchen and gave it to my wife I talked a lot about the reasons for this question. Of course, I also want to tell more people through text, so everyone can see this question and answer. This is my understanding. I share it as follows:

1. First of all, what is daylily? Don’t say it’s too complicated. In the eyes of me, a child from Wuhan, day lily only appears once a year, and is only used when braised meatballs during the Spring Festival. When paired with fungus, not many people seem to like to eat it. It is also troublesome to eat day lily for the first time, and it needs to be soaked;

2. The day lily in Wuhan is dry. In other provinces, day lily may be eaten cold, and you can make day lily egg soup by yourself. It may be good to add a little daylily to a bowl of noodles at home, and it may also be good to roast pork with dried daylily;

3. Fresh daylily cannot be eaten directly. , must be blanched to remove toxins and bitterness. After blanching, it needs to be soaked in clean water for a while, which takes about two hours. It may be this special method of daylily that leaves such an impression on everyone. Day lilies can only be eaten after they have cooled down. A broad understanding may mean that it has been a long time;

4. In addition, from the perspective of the growth cycle of day lilies, day lilies usually bloom at sunrise. It fails at sunset, and the blooming cycle is relatively short. If you miss it, you may not have the chance to pick it. Is the daylily cold? Analyzing from this perspective, it may be that if the metaphor is missed, there will be no chance;

5. In addition, Chinese has more contexts and is used in a wider range. Is the daylily cold? It can also be understood this way, "Collapse, there is no hope";

6. Why is the daylily cold? Everyone must know the idiom "Tomorrow's yellow flower", which may also come from this allusion to specifically refer to some lost time, because Chinese cabbage or other vegetables are just vegetables, and daylilies, in addition to being food, can also be used as food. Those who appreciate flowers;

At the end of writing, I still want to say a few words, why are the day lilies cold? Analyzing from this popular saying, most of our ancients used the special habits of this plant to metaphor or satirize certain things. The special habits of daylilies, blooming at sunset and fading at sunset, are quite special. Sex, because this is its unique characteristic, this is why it is said;

Why is the daylily cold?

The reason why daylilies are cold is that daylilies usually bloom at sunrise and end at sunset. The blooming time is very short. Once you miss the picking period, you will never have the chance to pick them again. Daylilies are all Being cold means that you missed it and had no chance.

Daylily, also known as daylily, lemon daylily, and forgetwort, belongs to the order Liliales and is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Liliaceae family. The roots are nearly fleshy and the middle and lower parts often have spindle-like enlargements.

Waiting for too long, everything is too late

"When I rule the world, I promise you a lifetime of glory" "When you rule the world, I am already a thing of the past"! A very poignant love poem, just like the sigh of "the human face does not know where to go, but the peach blossom still smiles in the spring breeze". Even if the yellow flowers remain the same, things have changed, and it is too late, leaving only unfinished regrets.

Another example is, "A son wants to be raised but his relatives don't wait for him; a tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." This admonishes people to perform filial piety promptly and not to regret it after their parents are gone.

"The day lily is cold": It means that things are done slowly and the best opportunity is lost, so that there is no expected effect, or even everything is too late, resulting in an irreversible situation.

No matter what you do, you must seize the opportunity, otherwise you will miss the opportunity. As the saying goes, there will be no next store in this village! Care about making wise decisions and implementing them decisively,

That is to say, take action when it is time to take action [laughing] Don't wait for the passage of time and worry about it again, it is futile and will not help.

Daylily has a sweet and cool nature, and has the effects of hemostasis, anti-inflammatory, clearing away heat, diuresis, digestion, improving eyesight, and calming the nerves. It is effective in treating vomiting blood, bloody stools, obstructed urination, insomnia, and lactation insufficiency. , can be used as a tonic after illness or postpartum.
