芹菜是我国食用最普遍的蔬菜之一。我国至迟在春秋时期已把野生芹菜驯化为日用蔬菜。芹菜还有许多有趣的传说和典故呢。 我国最早的诗歌集《诗经》中说:“思乐泮水,薄采其芹……思乐泮水,薄采其藻。”泮水是泮宫前的水池,泮宫是古代高等学府(如上海嘉定县孔庙大殿前的水池就叫泮水)。高等学府里种植有“芹”和“藻”,后人就把“芹藻”比喻有才学之士。如南朝江淹《新安王奏记》中说: “淹幼泛乡曲之誉,长匮芹藻之德”(我从小没有得到乡人的称誉,长大后也缺乏有才之士的德操)。 Celery is one of the most popular vegetables in our country. Our country has domestically transformed the wild celery into daily-use vegetables by spring and autumn. Celery there are many interesting legends and allusions do. The earliest collection of poetry in our country, “The Book of Songs,” said: “Sile pan water, thinly cut its parsley ... Sile pan water, thin mining its algae.” Pan water is Pan before the pool, Pan Palace is the ancient institutions of higher learning Such as the Confucius Temple in Shanghai Jiading Temple before the pool called Pan water). Higher education in the planting of “Qin” and “algae”, descendants put “Qin algae” analogy talented people. Such as the Southern Dynasties Jiang Yan, “Xin An Wang Zai Ji,” said: “flooding pan-pan song reputation, Chang greece the moral of algae” (I grew up I did not get the reputation of people, grew up lack of talent German virtues ).
