There is a nursery rhyme that sings:
Where is spring? Where is Spring? Spring is in the eyes of that little friend.
When I was a child, Little Seven Loves stared into the eyes of children to see what spring was like.
When I grew up, when I read a poem, I truly understood that the spring in the eyes of children is so beautiful.
This is a seven-sentence poem by the Qing Dynasty poet Gao Ding.
Village residence
Grass warblers fly on February days, whisking willows drunk with spring smoke.
Children return from school early and are busy taking advantage of the east wind to release paper kites.
Every time I read this poem, the corners of my mouth will unconsciously float up with a smile.
Spring is so beautiful, and everywhere is full of life.
More than 1500 years ago, in the Liang Kingdom during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a man named Qiu Chi wrote a letter to a friend.
In his letter, he described spring this way:
In the late spring of March, Jiangnan grass grows, miscellaneous peanut trees, and warblers fly wildly.
Since then, grass warblers have become the "standard" in spring.
Yes, spring has arrived, the grass is growing, the warblers are swirling, the warm sun is shining, the willows are fluttering, and everywhere is full of life.
In Gao Ding's pen, the beauty of spring is still in children.
You see, the school is out of school, and the children are excited.
From ancient times to the present, children's ideas have been the same.
When the bell rings after school, people have already rushed out of the classroom.
It's like when I was a kid.
After school, the children are so happy, the weather is just right, and the east wind is strong.
They took out the paper kites that had been prepared long ago, and took advantage of the east wind and put them into the sky.
A "busy" word is really cute.
I seemed to see them hurrying home, hurrying to fly kites, afraid of missing a good time to fly kites.
The kite flew into the sky and the children smiled happily.
When I was a child, happiness was too simple, and when I grew up, I found that happiness was so difficult.
Perhaps, Feng Zikai is the one who knows the happiness of children the most.
Feng Zikai has a daughter named Ah Bao.
The scene where Ah Bao puts shoes on the stool is impressive.
One day, Ah Bao took the soft shoes and took off the shoes under his feet and put them on the feet of the stool.
And Ah Bao, wearing socks, stood on the ground.
He said triumphantly: Ah Bao has two feet and the stool has four feet.
Put shoes on the stool, only the child can do such a funny thing!
Feng Zikai said: When I was a child, I was really stupid, and I actually looked forward to growing up.
Not only is it happy, children can always show adults the pure truth of things.
One day, Feng Zikai asked his four-year-old son Hua Zhan: What is your favorite thing?
He lifted his head and replied spontaneously: Flee.
Refugees? Feng Zikai was shocked.
In Hua Zhan's view, the escape was to take a car with his parents, sister and aunt to see the big ship.
Feng Zikai lived in an era of frequent wars.
When the gunfire sounded in the city, the family began to flee with the old and the young.
Escape to the Relief Society, where there are gardens, rockeries, pavilions, curved bars, and promenades, and the children are like entering the paradise and having fun.
Fleeing to Hujiang University, living on the Huangpu River next to the school, the children collected flowers, lay grass, competed to see the sailing boats, and had a lot of fun.
Obviously, it is an escape, and for adults, it is a panic, nervous and distressing experience.
To the child, it is a fun journey.
In retrospect, in order to take refuge, the family hurried out of the house, and after a false alarm, they returned unscathed.
It's like the whole family has gone out on a trip, so think about it, life is really much happier.
The eyes of innocence are the present, the pure truth, and when we gradually begin to think about the causes and consequences, we add a lot of troubles. Children don't see the rush and tension in life, only see the interesting side of life and rejoice in it.
The innocence of the child healed Feng Zikai, and he said: This little swallow-like group of children is the children who have the deepest karma with me in the world, and they occupy the same position in my heart as the gods, the stars, and the art.
I think that the child's innocence has also cured Gao Ding!
Idle in the countryside, he smiled and looked at a group of children, innocent, full of childlike fun, flying kites, discussing kites, it was so cute and innocent.
Anyone who sees it will feel healed.
I want to go back to my childhood, back to the time when a piece of cake and a butterfly can be happy for a long time.
But man must grow up, a philosopher said, and it is unfortunate not to grow.
We are doomed not to go back to our childhood, but we can have the heart of a child and look at the world sincerely and passionately.
See the world with a child's heart and you will be much happier.
