Hu Arong / Wen
One late autumn evening, I wandered alone in my hometown of Sipinggu Village, wandering on a quiet country road, which was really pleasant. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and not far from the banks of guss creek was a dazzling golden yellow, so brilliant, that I couldn't help but speed up my pace. Approaching, it turned out to be a patch of wild chrysanthemums blooming on the side of the road. Yellow like gold, flowers blooming, beautiful. Yellow flower buds, dark green stalks, like a beautiful girl smiling shyly. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees and sprinkled on the bushes of wild chrysanthemums, and the stars swayed little by little. At this moment, look at that piece of gold again, so intoxicating. Leaning down to look closely, among the green leaves, some flowers have not yet fully opened, only a slight smile, some are shyly playing with flowers, buds want to let go, some are fully open. Dignified and elegant, generous and generous. The autumn breeze sends wisps of fragrance, refreshing the heart.
In the countryside in late autumn, piles of dry grass, trees withered, frost and cold dew, wild chrysanthemums raised their flags, and it spread all over the mountains to decorate the slopes of Siping's hometown, and every late autumn, it was almost everywhere. Wild chrysanthemum flowers are very small, the stems are soft and delicate, but they do not inferiority or weakness, clusters, bushes, pieces, golden flowers are densely clustered together, and the rich medicinal fragrance comes straight into the heart and spleen, as if to soak people's body and mind. However, the wild chrysanthemums bloom fresh in the cold wind, humble and not humble, simple and stoic, and this is where I admire the wild chrysanthemums. It only needs a little bit of barren soil, even in a narrow stone crevice, and it can burst into a large area; As soon as the rain runs and the wind blows, it immediately sprouts a piece of fragrant new green, returns nature with tenacious vitality, and wholeheartedly dresses up the earth that feeds it.
Wild chrysanthemums hide the bitterness given by heaven and earth in a cheerful flower, and it is precisely that bit of bitterness that makes it a chrysanthemum tea and chrysanthemum pillow in people's hands. It is bitterness that gives it medicinal value, thus making life have a deeper extension. Wild chrysanthemums should be the most dazzling flowers in autumn, and blooming in spite of the cold is the greatest characteristic of this small plant. These flowers, never can't help themselves, when there are flowers, they bloom, and when they have land, they grow. Unrestrained is a beautiful landscape in life. Seemingly tiny wild chrysanthemums, even in pieces, are huge, and stories and legends about it are indispensable throughout the autumn.
I think that the wild chrysanthemum has so hard to open with all its life, just to be grateful for the soil that nourishes it, to contain its space; It blossoms golden flowers in the cold wind and cold rain, what a noble sentiment. In my heart, the wild chrysanthemum occupies an important corner, and no one can replace it, perhaps I have the same place as it. Life is so, how not to make people rejoice and admire, I stared at this bush of wild chrysanthemums for a long time, a sense of fullness surged in my heart, and after sighing, people like to say "people are light as chrysanthemums", it can be seen that chrysanthemums are very suitable for describing people's character, after walking through the prosperity of the heart is as quiet as water, it must be happy and unhappy, mournful and not worried, with the mind of the chrysanthemum, it will no longer be troubled by the dust of ordinary things. Life is one life, grass and trees are autumn, calm down, silently think and feel the true meaning of life!
