唐长安城唐昌观玉蕊花景观兴废考

Rise and Fall of the Landscape of Barringtonia Racemosa in the Tangchang Taoist Temple of Tang Chang'an City

长安城安业坊唐昌观的玉蕊花景观在唐代十分有名,当时诗人多有诗歌歌咏。北宋以来千百年间,学者们对玉蕊的植物种名界定存在巨大争议,玉蕊遂成为中国历史上著名的文化植物。唐昌观的玉蕊花景观初现于唐玄宗晚年,可能是玄宗之女唐昌公主或与唐昌公主同时代的人栽植,唐德宗大历年间花事始盛,引来众多诗人写诗描写。玉蕊花景观直到唐懿宗咸通年间依旧可观,但最终毁于黄巢起义军入长安的战火之中。

The landscape of barringtonia racemosa in Chang＇an city was very famous in the Tang Dynasty, a- bout which poets wrote many poems. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, there has been a great controversy a- mong scholars about its classification, however, it has become a famous cultural plant in the Chinese history. The flower in Tangchang Taoist Temple first appeared in the later period of Tang Emperor Xuanzong, chances were that it might be planted by Princess Tangchang, daughter of Emperor Xuanzong, or those at her time.
