【Cold Night Listening to rain】
Author: Xiao Ying
"Splitting... Splitting... The sound of the raindrops splashing down is clearly heard in the house. It is a little strange to say, it is during this waxing moon, this Jiangnan should not have had so much rain. I think that the grievances of the old year have not been removed, so I have to shed tears in this new year.
Although it was the occasion of the New Year, everything seemed particularly deserted due to the disturbance of the rain that had no intention of retreating. Without the noise of the first month, the sound of rain is particularly earmarked. And I also "arrogantly" once, imitating the sages to taste this rain. On this listening to the rain, the most famous is Jiang Jie, and here is also quoted - "The teenager listens to the rain song upstairs." Red candles dim. In his prime, listen to the rain in a passenger boat. The river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind. And now listen to the rain monks down. Sideburns have stars also. Joy and sorrow are always merciless. Before the first term, drip until dawn. "Where is the rain, more is the taste of life, from adolescence to adulthood to old age, different ages, different moods naturally shape different people, but this rain seems to have never changed." It seems to have some meaning of "the flowers are similar from year to year, and the years are different from year to year".
And naturally I will not have such a profound understanding as Jiang Jie, after all, I am still young, living only a life on paper, although plain and simple, but there is no lack of taste. Just like the night of this new month, the cold need is the first taste, which has the feeling of winter, and such a cool night if there is a lingering rain, it is even more lonely.
Looking at the vague smoke outside the window, it seems to have the flavor of Li Yi'an's "searching, cold and clear, miserable and miserable". The rain outside the window is sometimes swift and slow, and if it is fast, it has the tendency of the wind to roll the clouds; if it is slow, it is more like the careful care of a loving mother. These two situations always alternate, but they also play a more wonderful chapter. It's no wonder Lotte compares the sound of a pipa to this.
Sitting in the study listening to the rain, only a small lamp was turned on, and a cup of hot tea was placed on the side. Savor this unusual winter rain, accompanied by the cold air and cold wind of the first month, it is really heart-wrenching. The scene that most reminds me of this scene is Huang Tingjian, "Peach and Plum Spring Wind a glass of wine, the night rain in the rivers and lakes ten years of lights." "Although I am in the warm pavilion, my heart has long been drifting, listening to the rain and wind blowing down outside, how can I not feel the taste of the end of the world." Listening to the rain for a moment is like this decade, and only the lone lamp is accompanied, so lonely only this cold night and cold rain can do it.
If you go out, you will be able to experience more tastes when you go to that garden. The rain fell and hit the bluestone slab, only to reflect the moss more green, and the smoke on the lake surface was swirling, revealing fine microwaves under the rain. At such moments, the sound of rain is even more different, it is a quiet sound that evokes the tranquility and tranquility of people's hearts. And Dai Wangshu's "Rain Lane" and the well-known "a lilac-like girl with a grudge" seem to be very compatible with this weather, or love but can not be, but do not lose themselves in the smoke and rain of Jiangnan.
There is no need for an umbrella in such rain, just quietly feel the raindrops falling, close your eyes to find your beloved girl, slowly let the smoke cloud hang around you, stick out your tongue to taste this rain, faintly feel a hazy sweetness, maybe this is the taste of youth.
The night gradually deepened, and the window seemed to be "windy", only to hear the rain sound a little impatient, although the small rain was a burst of knocking on the glass, it seemed to be a child who was anxious to go home. People always feel that it is "miserable wind and rain", but really meditate for a moment, and listen to the rain carefully but feel a little cute. The sound of a drop of rain is short-lived, but the successive rains can be connected into a complete long line, making the sound of rain enduring and continuous.
Smelling this rain, I gradually became a little confused, as if in this world, there was only the incessant sound of rain, only confused me.
