《续齐谐记·紫荆树》 【作者】吴均 【朝代】南朝梁

京兆田真兄弟三人,共议分财。生资皆平均,惟堂前一株紫荆树,共议欲破三片。明日,就截之,其树即枯死,状如火然。真往见之,大惊,谓诸弟曰:“树本同株,问将分斫,所以憔悴。是人不如木也。”因悲不自胜,不复解树。树应声荣茂,兄弟相感,合财宝,遂为孝门。真仕至太中大夫。【陆机诗云:“三荆欢同株。”】

《乌桑树传说》

相传紫荆又名乌桑,花能驻颜美发,叶能洗浴爽身,根能延年益寿,是王母娘娘最喜爱的天宫圣树。为了不使其流落人间,王母将乌桑树种子交给自己最信赖的紫霞仙子保管。后来紫霞化身织女,与牛郎鹊桥相会,得知乡亲们得了一种怪病,人间疾苦,生灵涂炭,紫霞不忍百姓受苦,为救苍生性命,拼死将乌桑树种子和花偷了出来。紫霞将花瓣撒向人间,神奇的花瓣治好了乡亲们的怪病;又将种子交给百姓,并教会了人们栽植乌桑树的方法。人们为了纪念善良美丽的紫霞仙子,就将乌桑树命名为紫荆树,也开启了世世代代栽种紫荆树的习俗。

《得舍弟消息》

【作者】杜甫 【朝代】唐

风吹紫荆树,色与春庭暮。

花落辞故枝,风回返无处。

骨肉恩书重,漂泊难相遇。

犹有泪成河,经天复东注。

《春兴 其二》

明代: 黎景义

披书才暇即焚香,紫气犹寒北斗傍。

小院回廊春寂寂,断烟残月共苍苍。

愁看地色连天色,四顾山光接水光。

荆树有花兄弟乐,谩将心事话连床。

《喜族兄修古远归 其一》

清代: 屈大均

幽燕为客及秋还,门对鹅潭有故山。

黄发正愁诸从少,白衣犹得一人閒。

书成士女师鸾势,酒熟仙灵与玉颜。

自此乡园休更别,荆花一树日同攀。

《晚春重到集贤院》

【作者】白居易 【朝代】唐

官曹清切非人境,风月鲜明是洞天。

满砌荆花铺紫毯,隔墙榆荚撒青钱。

前时谪去三千里,此地辞来十四年。

虚薄至今惭旧职,院名抬举号为贤。

《丙午清明日青塘道中》

【作者】 戴表元 【朝代】宋

三里五里沙路平,一番两番溪雨声。

无奈春风动人处,紫荆青李满林生。

《贺景高新居》

【作者】 王炎 【朝代】宋

百楹夏屋势渠渠,气象岿然压里闾。

庭下紫荆方秀茂,阶前玉树亦扶疏。

门容驷马于公宅,客佩金鱼吏部庐。

莫使乌衣文彩减,诸郎勤读五车书。

《寿母七十索贺诗六首 其五》

清代: 徐搢珊

那忍高吟陟岵诗,犹炊内侍慰吾慈。

虽无毛檄荣当日,聊著莱衣趁此时。

堂背萱花增一笑,庭前荆树秀三枝。

膝间更有诸孙绕,叫得婆婆喜欲痴。

《庚午仲冬二日贱辰刘五云先生赠诗二律依韵奉和 其二》

明代: 陈应元

赤松有约素誇张,修短无心任彼苍。

岱色何如荆树美,薇斋先借笔花香。

蓬桑久挂都成栎,桃李栽盈即是棠。

何日峰头五老聚,与君共话海天长。

《春女怨》

【作者】朱绛 【朝代】唐

独坐纱窗刺绣迟,紫荆花下啭黄鹂。

欲知无限伤春意,尽在停针不语时。

《连理枝》

【作者】 喻良能 【朝代】宋

紫荆斜倚磬湖隈。并干连枝锦作堆。

犹记太虚坛上木,无风双影并徘徊。

《建元寺(一作和郭郧寒食)》

【作者】李绅 【朝代】唐

江城物候伤心地,远寺经过禁火辰。

芳草垄边回首客,野花丛里断肠人。

紫荆繁艳空门昼,红药深开古殿春。

叹息光阴催白发,莫悲风月独沾巾。

《送经历庞世安》

【作者】 董天吉 【朝代】宋

庞门培隐德,凤穴产奇毛。

曳组全家贵,谈兵此客豪。

书签沾雨湿,箭镝入云高。

归到荆花下,春缸醉玉醪。

《临江仙》

【作者】彭元逊 【朝代】宋

红袖乌丝失酒,金钗银烛销春。

柳边桃下复清晨。

帽风回马旋,扇雨拂花情。

白帝空惊旧曲,阳关只梦行人。

碧云何处认芳尘。

紫荆花作荚,青杏核生仁。

《沁园春 嘲昆季析居》

【作者】凌云翰【朝代】元

树上凌霄,堂前紫荆,秋来尚芳。

柰牝鸡晨语,鹡鸰憔悴,妖狐昼啸,鸿雁分张。

仁智匪周,喜忧非舜,一旦天伦忍遂忘。

如何好,望松楸感泣,桑梓悲伤。

古今祸起专房。

总一国、犹然况一乡。

家有妇人,岂无长舌,世无男子,谁有刚肠。

树大枝分,瓜熟蒂落,此语应非是义方。

聊书此,要惩鉴诫,不在文章

《紫荆树》

【作者】殷奎 【朝代】明

紫荆亲种北堂前,春雨宜男色共鲜。

拟举韦家为月会,乞身归去莫迟延。

《和钟陵山居诗(二首)》

【作者】梅月堂 【朝代】明

蛱蝶双双飞药畦,山禽饶语竹篱西。

一丛枸杞花初遍,五丫人参弃已齐。

翠竹林中香麝睡,紫荆枝上画眉啼。

干峰昨夜疏疏雨,泛滥南池涨小溪。
