Sparrow is a vine of Papilionae in Leguminosae, also known as Eupatorium and Sparrow. Clusters of flowers grow directly on vines. Its flower shape resembles a bird, hanging on a string like a flying sparrow. There are five kinds of petals, white, pink, purple and even purple-black. Every flower is like a bird. Bloom is hanging in strings on the vine, with 20 to 30 flowers in each string. The strings are drooping, like birds perching, with both form and spirit. It blooms from March to late April every year, which is amazing. Petals are light green, and two petals will be rolled into wings, which is very charming and has ornamental value.
In Xinhui (now Pengjiang District, Jiangmen City), there are exotic flowers and plants in Gongkeng Temple (Tiancheng Temple) on Xiaopenglai Mountain behind Lexi Village of Tanghe River. If a part is accidentally damaged, a small amount of blood-like liquid will appear in the scar, which makes people feel pity. Pick a whole flower and put it aside for two hours, and it will turn brown, just like the color of a real sparrow. Every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, like thousands of birds perching on trees, which is very spectacular.
Sparrows generally do not blossom and bear fruit. Since liberation, only 196 1 year has pods. According to the old farmer, sparrows seed every 30 years. Flowers are fresh, sweet and delicious seasonal vegetables, which can be used as refreshing drugs after drying.
It is said that the sparrows in Gongkeng are the birthplace of Guangdong sparrows with a history of 700 years. There are many fairy tales circulating in ancient temples.
According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a wandering monk who traveled to Xiaopenglai Mountain. When he saw the green forest and beautiful scenery here, he planted a seed in front of the Buddhist temple. The seeds germinate, give birth to vines, and grow a flower that looks like a sparrow, which is the sparrow flower in front of the temple. This kind of sparrow flower is the most spectacular and has become the best traditional viewing place. All the vines in the public pit are because of this sparrow flower.
It is also said that one day, Tie Guai Li, an Eight Immortals, traveled to Gongkeng Temple and saw groups of sparrows (sparrows) flying to the rice fields to steal rice. Farmers rushed from here with brooms, and sparrows flew there to eat; Driving from there, sparrows fly here to eat. The farmer watched eagerly as a flock of sparrows pecked at the grain he had worked so hard for half a year, and cried for land. On the contrary, naughty sparrows chattered about the farmer's incompetence and scampered at each other. Seeing this scene, Tie Guai Li thought the sparrows were too naughty and too much, so he just laid a vine from the hillside, tied all the sparrows with magic, hung them on a tree and strung them together, only allowing them to fly out before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day. Since then, there are no more sparrows stealing rice here, and there is another sparrow in the pit.
