A spring snow lined azalea "A branch of spring snow frozen plum blossoms, full of fragrant mist and morning clouds".
When I read Wei Zhuang's "Huan Xi Sha", a sentence describing the beauty of a beautiful woman, my mind is not the woman who "condenses the fragrance of the mist", but the picture of the cuckoos blooming in the mountains in May. The winter in Daxing'anling is too long, from snowy to icy snow, from October to seven months in May of the following year, and the temperature can only be described as cold, colder, extremely cold.
When I was a child, I broke my fingers and hoped for the return of spring, and when the winter was so cold that it was almost impossible to go out of the door, my brothers and sisters went to the icy mountains to collect a bunch of dead cuckoo branches and put them in canned bottles with clean water. In about half a month, the little buds on the dead branches can really bloom pink flowers! That little flower warms our world without color in the boring winter, and in our attention, it is the pink hope in the black and white world, a beautiful silhouette in the long snow season, and a small spring window opened by our own hands.
My mother, who is usually busy with housework, also came to admire with us in surprise, and then embroidered a small flower on the new clothes worn by my sister and me during the Spring Festival in the shape of azaleas. Like many boreal plant flowers, the rhododendron flowers of Daxing'anling are small and monochromatory, which are not the same as the large, double-petaled, colorful azaleas known as the fairy of flowers. They are thin, forbearing, tenacious, and after enduring the extreme cold in the snow for most of the year, they meet a warm day in spring, without prelude and laying, and all the azaleas are soon on the slopes of the woodland, splashing ink-like pink-purple azaleas one after another, and their vitality seems to ignite the whole spring. If the year is good, the cuckoos can be lively for half a month, if they happen to encounter the spring cold, it only takes one night this bright color may be frosted, then the beauty in the spring breeze will disappear instantly, and wait for another year. The snow in May is not as fierce as the frost, and after gently and skillfully drifting down, the clumps of clumps of cuckoos are dotted, and there is a fairy-like aura in the poem "a branch of spring snow frozen plum blossoms, full of fragrant mist and morning glow", people are surprised to go to the mountains to "step on the snow to find plums", not necessarily the poet's Yaxing, but more love and reluctance for the azaleas in the snow. The women living in Daxing'anling are very similar to azaleas, in the deep mountains without a few days of summer town, but women always have to buy several sets of skirts, the colors should be bright, the style should be fashionable, buy back in front of the dressing mirror must be well tried on, imagine in the lively wedding scene, in the leisurely weekend dusk, skirts fluttering, fragrant fog, also learn those women on TV movies like fragrant sideburns, praise each other with surprise sentences and wait for each other to praise "How beautiful this color, how fashionable this style is!" "But the weather in Daxing'anling is always not very cooperative, and there is often a cold spring in June.
Heavy trench coats and sweaters are the protagonists, and the rainy days in July and August occupy most of the half, and as soon as the autumn breeze starts in September, the coolness immediately sweeps the streets. In order not to live up to the skirts, the women looked at the weather forecast, as long as they had the opportunity, they quickly changed their clothes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the time for the skirts to bloom like flowers was too short. The development and construction of forest areas has been carried out for more than 70 years, from the first generation of foresters climbing ice and snow to develop forest areas, to bit by bit infrastructure construction, generations of forest people silently in the northern Xinjiang ecological Great Wall to play the responsibility of green guardians, they are not only optimistic and dedicated in the hard years, but also compress the love of a better life into mountains of azaleas.
It opens warmly on sunny days, even if only for a few days.
