Since discovering that the main stream of the Yangtze River was originally so turbid, the Jiangnan in my heart has become more like this: the outer part is a medium river that meanders through, and the inner side is a pond with lotus leaves and lotus flowers.
Picture 1: Lotus leaves sway gently, lotus flowers bloom quietly, this is the most beautiful scenery in the depths of the jiangnan fields.
In this former pond in the blue circle, around 1994, when the double robbery was planted, one afternoon when the seedlings were planted, suddenly there was a sharp rain, and our sister and brother could not hide, so they picked the lotus leaves in the pond to temporarily shade the rain. This picture is grounded enough and very poetic!
Fig. 2: The dewdrops rolling on the lotus leaves are also a beautiful scenery of the lotus pond. I hope: on the embankment of the medium river in Jiangnan, I meet a girl in a ruffled dress with dewdrops on her dress. In the cool breeze, it seems that the waves splash and the dew rolls.
Picture 3: In a conversation with my mother a few years ago, I found that the rectangular "small base" (dialect vocabulary) has now become the northernmost boundary of the village field. In my memory, there are some fields intertwined with the teeth of neighboring villages, and at the junction, there is a boundary pond with a narrow water surface and lotus flowers.
Before the construction of basic farmland began, the terrain was slightly higher, with a deep ditch in the middle that served as a field boundary between villages and villages. The people of the two villages, while working and chatting, are also a unique landscape.
In the summer of 1992, on a breezy afternoon, my father and I were working together to draw water from the water wheel by hand, when we suddenly received the news of the death of our third grandfather, so we stopped our work and went to the funeral!
That boundary pool, distant, mysterious, beautiful, always has the impression of a breeze blowing. A few years ago, I went to look for it, but it has long ceased to exist, similar to the unrecoverable peach blossom source in Tao Yuanming's works.
There is a medium river meandering outside, and there are lotus flowers blooming quietly in the breeze, have you noticed such a poetic Jiangnan?
