Walk through thousands of rivers and mountains, and enjoy the fireworks in all directions.
One of the joys of reading is that you can understand the mountains and rivers of the motherland without leaving home, and you can understand the customs and customs of other places, which may be: stay at home, know thousands of miles away.
Recently, I read Xue Xiaochan's "Reflection of Mountains and Rivers" to understand the great rivers and mountains of the motherland from the perspective of women. Travel with Xiao Zen to feel the different breaths of life in different cities.
Xiao Zen's writing is fresh, warm, and soft, and when I read her, I feel like setting up a guqin in the mountains, making a wisp of smoke, brewing a pot of tea, watching the stream flow, and listening to the birds singing. In the breeze and warmth, close your eyes and recuperate.
What is life? People are different, and their understanding is different. There is a gorgeous side to life, there are also trivial, sloppy, there are poetry and hop tea, there is also a meal and a porridge full of oil smoke. The ideal life of Xiao Zen is roughly that there are flowers and grasses and a few trees in the front hall, and there are fields and vegetables in the backyard and cooking smoke. Laundry and cooking when busy, poetry hop tea in leisure time. Sit back and write calligraphy and paintings. It seems to be idle, but in fact, it is really like a crane in the clouds. I also want to have such a life.
After reading it, I really envy the author, she has been to many places, north and south of the river, and there have been places. Although she is a northerner, she is also a heavy taste, no spicy and unhappy, and she is also a good stinky person, and what stinky tofu snail powder is her love. I admire this, I don't like spicy, stinky tofu has only tasted once, snail powder really has not tasted once, really can't stand the taste. Seeing that Xiao Zen was able to eat a few bowls of him, his eyes were full of surprise.
Food is one of the best loves a person has for a place, and going to a place is not only to appreciate the customs and customs, but also the local specialties. One side of the water and soil to support one person, the other side of the production of the same taste of food. It was an eye-opener to see the local specialties of each texture, eating, drinking or smoking like the locals. After all, there are a few who can poetry hop tea, and they can leave beautiful words when poetry and far away, which is even less and less, how can it not be enviable? This is not the ideal life I want.
See the author before going down to Jiangnan and then to the southwest. Gangnam is small, sweet as sweet, like little Joe Big Joe "Copper Bird Spring Deep Lock Two Joe". And to the southwest, it is another scene. The southwest is rugged but not at all despicable, with a bit of a raw taste. This is not the good scenery of the motherland, thousands of miles of different scenery, a hundred miles of different people. Watching my footsteps measure the earth and taste life with my taste buds, how can I not be envious?
The author is also a calligrapher and painter, the so-called picturesque country, how many heroes at a time, but also the elaboration of cultural celebrities. The most impressive thing is Huang Gongwang, and his "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" makes his personal life like a person, but also full of setbacks, turbulent displacement, the last half in Lu and half in Taiwan. Whether a person's life or not has a great relationship with society. The family and the country are one, and it is really difficult to separate.
A good life is: make a warm table and cook a pot of piping hot tea.
This is also the life I want to live.
