Lianbong is a fruit developed by flowers, known as the “liang house”, after the flower has fallen. It's not a flower, it's a polymers of the aquatic plant lotus. The lotus that we eat is a little nut that grows in a hole in it, and a seed of it. In short, the flower is the “mother”, the “baby's cradle” is the “baby”. Understanding this relationship captures the core of lianbong。
In-depth analysis: the “life of the past” and the structural mystery of lianbong
From a botanical point of view, lian peng is a mature bouquet for sleeping lian ying. It is unique in its form, with a cone in reverse shape and a hole in its face. In the early stages of growth, the lumber is green, and as the internal omelet matures, it slowly turns brown。
The growth of the bouquet is a magical process: first, the flower blooms on the water surface; when the flower season ends and the flower blooms, the bowls that lie in the centre of the flower do not die, but begin to expand and eventually form the lumber. Every beehive in a hole bears a lotus. When the bed is fully mature, the hole at the top will break naturally, and the internal lotus (seeds) will be scattered into the water, spreading through the currents and starting a new life cycle。
An analysis of its internal structure consists of two main components: a sponge flower beam, or a “love house” and a number of “loves” embedded in it. Each of these is an independent little nut, and the outer layer is wrapped in a hard crust, stripping off the shell, which is the white seed we eat. This fine structure perfects the protection of seeds and facilitates their dissemination。
What is the use of lotus poon
Lianbong, especially the ones among them, has a variety of values, but the whole body is a treasure。
In terms of edible value, fresh lotions are sweet and sweet, and new varieties, such as the hanging lotus i, can be used as fruits. It's also a good material for cooking, either cooking congee, making soup or making dessert, and it can add a unique fragrance. The dried-up lotus is more of a home-based diet that is easily stored and used。
Its medicinal and health-care efficacy is highly valued in traditional chinese medicine. Lotus itself has the effect of spleening, resting and queasing. The green embryo in the midst of the lotus, known as the “lianheart”, is a cure for fire and pain. Even the husks that are often abandoned are the same odour of medicine that is often used to stop the bleeding, damp and bruise。
In addition, lianpen carries rich cultural images. It is often a symbol of field and child-interest in ancient poetry, and nothing is more classic than a vivid picture of the “favourable children's deaths, brooks crucified with leeches”. The pattern of lotus porcelain, which is often given to many of them a beautiful and productive harvest。
