糅在春粿里的甘甜人们之所以将俗称清明蒿的野菜叫鼠麴,是因为《本草纲目》认为“其叶形如鼠耳,又有白毛蒙茸似之”。说是因为它的叶子形似老鼠耳朵,而且叶面上还长着白色绵毛,像鼠耳毛茸茸的样子。我倒觉得,鼠麴更像一个个在清明时节去郊外踏青的孩童,恍若被管束了许久才释放出来似的,一到野外,便满山遍野地乱跑。 The reason why the sweet people who blend in spring is to call the wild vegetable called “Ching Ming Hao” is because “Compendium of Materia Medica” thinks that “its leaf shape is like a mouse ear, and there are white hairy and velvety”. It is because its leaves resemble the ears of mice, and the white follicles grow on the foliage, resembling hairy mice. I would think that the mice were more like children who went out to the suburbs in the Ching Ming Festival, reminding us of scenes that had been released for a long time before they were released into the wild.
