数年前见挂历中有水墨枇杷,赫然题曰:“卢桔夏熟”。后又见人民文学出版社出版的《苏轼诗选·赠惠山僧惠表》一诗中有“客来茶室空无有,卢桔杨梅尚带酸”之句,注谓:卢桔即枇杷。翻阅有关著作,如商务印书馆出版清代吴其浚所著《植物名实图考长篇》,也说:“卢桔何种果类?枇杷是矣。”然而卢桔果真是枇杷的别名吗?看来是不对的。 卢桔一词,早在西汉即见于司马相如的《上林赋》:“卢桔夏熟,黄甘橙楱,枇杷橪柿。亭柰厚朴。”(按:黄甘,即黄柑,桔类水果。楱(音凑),小桔。橪(音然),酸枣。亭,即棠梨,俗名海棠果。柰,苹果类水果。厚朴,木名,其果实味美可食。)文中卢桔和枇杷并列,可见并非同一水果。 A few years ago see the calendar in the ink loquat, impressively said: “Lu orange summer.” See also the People’s Literature Publishing House published “Su Shi poetry election Huishan monk benefit table” a poem in the “guest tea room is empty, Lu orange bayberry is still with acid,” the note: Note that the orange is loquat . Read the book, such as published by the Commercial Press Qing Dynasty Wu Qijun “plant name map test article,” also said: “what kind of fruit Lupu? Loquat is carry on.” However, Lu citrus really loquat aliases? It is not right. As early as in the Western Han Dynasty, the term “Lu Lin” was found in “Shanglin Fu” of Sima Xiangru: “Lushui summer ripe, yellow sweet orange 楱, loquat 橪 persimmon. Pavilion 柰 Magnolia.” , Orange fruit. 楱 (compact), small orange. 橪 (sound), jujube. Pavilion, that is, pear, commonly known as Begonia fruit. 柰, apple fruit. Magnolia, wood, the fruit delicious edible. ) In the text juxtaposes and loquat tied, we can see is not the same fruit.
