Little Farmer Big Star

Although everyone at the scene has gradually calmed down, they still feel that there is still something to say.

In twos and threes, they were still discussing with each other the matter of the fairy boy offering peaches. Everyone just felt that Fairy Boy's stay was too short, and it would be nice if he could stay longer.

After that, the focus of discussion gradually focused on peaches.

"By the way, why did the fairy boy offer peaches? Instead of other fruits, such as apples and pears."

"Tch! You don't even know this? It's in vain that you were so enthusiastic about it just now. The birthday peach presentation represents wishing the elderly health, longevity and happiness, so there is also the longevity peach. Do you understand now? This has been a tradition since ancient times. The saying passed down.”

"I just cut it. Of course I understand what you said. What I mean is, why is it a longevity peach and not a longevity apple or a longevity pear?"

"What's the reason for this? It's been passed down like this since ancient times."

"You don't know."

"Okay, okay, you know then just say it."

"I just don't know, so I'm asking."

"..."

Why offer peaches for birthday celebrations?

When this question was asked, many people at the scene were stunned. Yes, why offer peaches? Instead of offering other fruits?

Many people have discovered that they only know what is happening, but do not know why it is happening.

They had never thought about this question before, but now someone asked about it, which aroused their curiosity.

"Does anyone know why this is? Come on, come out and tell everyone. My curiosity has been piqued."

…

"Do you know?" Lin Yuebai asked.

"Tch! How can I have time to study this? No matter what it is, you just know that you should offer peaches to celebrate your birthday." Lu Dong said.

"That's right, instead of talking about this, why not talk about what to do next? That kid Li Fan is our common enemy now." Ouyang Dong also said.

"That insidious boy!" Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and said, he was still extremely angry.

It was clearly his time to show off, act cool, and steal the show, but Li Fan stole all the limelight.

Although the guests at the scene were concerned about his identity and did not mock him, they did not continue to cheer for him or be shocked by him. This tone could not be tolerated no matter what.

Lin Kun looked at Song Jingshu and said, "Jingshu, didn't you say before that you had a perfect idea that would definitely make that kid embarrassed? What about now? When are you going to take action?"

Song Jingshu said: "It's really surprising that that boy Li Fan can do such powerful magic. However, don't worry, just leave it to me. Even if that boy has all kinds of abilities, he will be able to do it next. There is no doubt that I will lose. Because what I want to do cannot be accomplished solely by human power. No matter how talented that kid is, it will be useless."

When the people around him heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time. Zhao Kuo asked eagerly: "Jing Shu, what is it? When are you going to start?"

Song Jingshu smiled proudly and said, "You will know what happened later, at least when it will start. Well, wait a moment."

When the people around him saw the proud look on Song Jingshu's face, they all snorted inwardly, thinking in their hearts: "You are so proud! I'll really embarrass that kid."

…

What Lin Yuebai and others are concerned about is how to target Li Fan? The guests at the scene are now concerned about why it is Xian Peach?

"Eh? Don't everyone know? This is impossible."

"I guess not many people know about this. Who would care about this?"

"I know this, let me tell you about it."

"Haha! Okay, finally someone knows. Hey, are you Yi Yun from the Yi family?"

"Haha, it's Brother Xie, I am Yi Yun."

"Haha! I didn't expect you to recognize me. We haven't seen each other for several years. But, Yi Yun, please tell us about Shoudao first, and we can catch up with each other later.

"

Yi Yun nodded and smiled: "Okay, no problem."

First of all, this peach is not an ordinary fruit in some folk sayings.

In the Shenyi Sutra, there is this record: "There is a tree in the east, fifty feet high, called Peach. Its tree is three feet and three inches in diameter, and its core is delicious. It can make people live longer."

It can be seen that the peach tree is actually a sacred tree, and its fruit "peaches" can increase life span if eaten.

In addition, there is also a record in the Supplementary Notes: "If you go to Fusang Mountain for fifty thousand miles, the sun cannot reach it. When the ground is cold, there will be thousands of peach trees around, and their flowers will be blue and black. Long live one meal."

The peach trees on Crab Locust Mountain are "eating for a long time". If people eat their "peaches", they will naturally live longer.

This is a related record about peach trees, and it is also related to two folklores.

The first is the legend about Sun Bin.

It is said that when Sun Bin was 18 years old, he left his hometown and went to Yunmeng Mountain thousands of miles away, where he worshiped Gui Guzi as his teacher and learned the art of war.

It had been twelve years since he left. On the fifth day of May of a certain year, Sun Bin suddenly thought: "Today is my mother's eightieth birthday."

So Sun Bin asked his master for leave to go home and visit his mother.

The master picked a peach and gave it to Sun Bin, saying, "You are studying abroad and have not been able to repay your mother's kindness. I will give you a peach and take it back to celebrate your birthday."

Sun Bin returned home, took out the peach from his master and handed it to his mother.

Unexpectedly, before the old mother finished eating the peach, her face became younger. Sun Bin was very happy to see her.

People heard that Sun Bin's mother became younger immediately after eating peaches. They also wanted their parents to live long and healthy, so they began to imitate Sun Bin and send fresh peaches to their parents on their birthdays.

The act of giving peaches to celebrate birthdays has spread like this until today.

There is also a legend about the Queen Mother of the West who presented peaches to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

There is a folk legend in our country that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty advocated immortality. When the Queen Mother of the West knew about it, she sent an envoy to inform Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that she would come at a certain time.

At seven o'clock in the night on July 7th, the Queen Mother of the West rode a cloud chariot to the west side of the palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

There are three blue birds standing on the left and right of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West gave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty five large peaches and told him: "This is a fairy fruit that only bears fruit once every three thousand years."

It can be seen that this peach only bears fruit once every three thousand years. It is an absolute fairy fruit. If a mortal eats it, it will be a blessing and it will definitely prolong life.

Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West’s gift of peaches actually means longevity.

All of the above are the reasons why peaches are offered during birthday celebrations.

Of course, if we analyze it from our current scientific perspective, we can also find the reason why we offer peaches for birthdays.

Because peach meat is delicious, not only has high fiber content, but also contains vitamins, fructose and other nutrients.

Among them, vitamins are antioxidant and anti-aging, and fructose has the effect of nourishing and strengthening the body. Especially fiber, which is good for common diseases of the elderly, such as arteriosclerosis and constipation.

Therefore, there is a folk proverb that "it is better to eat a bite of fresh peach than a basket of rotten apricots".

In summary, offering peaches for birthday wishes is the most appropriate, both in terms of related meanings and nutritional value itself.
