Read Hedong in the Hedong study
Wang Hui
Autumn is the celebration of tomatoes adorning the mountains, the golden abundance in the green gauze tent, the "Eleventh" trip celebrated by the whole country, and the far-reaching thought of the fragrance of books. On the first day of the National Day, Nanfeng Square is full of happy smiles, located in the northeast corner of the Hedong study room and the southeast corner of the Hedong bookstore, the book is fragrant, and there are many readers.
To enter the Hedong Study · Wenmai Museum, you need to cross a small bridge first, and then come to the three-story building in the center of the garden. Gently push the door open, and the black and white photos on the walls on both sides vividly present the past of Hedong. Pacing indoors to soothing music, unable to disturb attentive readers and learners, slowly reading around the bookshelves.
The eyes are fixed on more books and publications related to the city. Looking up, outside the large floor-to-ceiling window, the water is sparkling, and the study is a small boat in the water, and on the boat are people seeking knowledge. Two square chandeliers with unique shapes, with the book "Hedong Study", swayed slightly in the rippling water waves, with the quiet and melodious music in the room. Walking to the innermost space of about 10 square meters, a series of works by Hedong writers are displayed squarely.
Rubbing one by one, identifying one name by one, opening those books that were not sealed, reading page by page, so, in the fragrance of books in Hedong, unconsciously, smelled the fragrance of osmanthus in the autumn night......
In Yuncheng, there are more than 40 urban study rooms of different sizes, which are hidden in the bustling and bustling, providing many citizens and foreign tourists with a "book" life and "pleasant" reading experience, and becoming a small library in Hedong area. No matter which Hedong study room you enter, you can't help but think of the description of the famous Argentina poet and novelist Borges: "Leaving behind the noise of the square, I entered the world of books." Immediately, in an almost carnal way, I felt the gravity of books, the serene atmosphere of ordered things, saved, miraculously preserved past. ”
Flipping through the Hedong books written and edited by Hedong writers, I often sigh at their affectionate singing and dense expression for this cultural hot land. It feels like they are believers, religiously and attentively yearning for or guarding this place. The east of the river constructed by the books is a secret treasure house of time condensation, a long-term wind blowing from the mountains, and a vast golden wave rising from the salt lake. For thousands of years, people have searched for treasures and discovered the unknown in this ancient land, expressing the past, present and future of the nation between the pages, and containing personal enthusiasm, affection and affection in the words. No matter how the times change and how the carrier of words changes, as long as the ground under our feet quietly supports us, we can't help but be attracted and moved by it. On this row after row of bookshelves, there are countless souls waiting to read, watching the encounter with the readers, looking forward to the resonance and empathy with the readers.
Sometimes, we feel that time flies quickly, everyone is busy working, busy on the road, busy chasing dreams, the flickering neon of the city, between the light and the extinction, it seems that the occasional distraction and confusion of urban people. In this small study, we do a relaxing spiritual massage for our busy lives. Here, we read moving stories, feel the philosophies of the wise, repair spiritual barriers, and quietly peek into the deepest voices of the heart. You will find that the "time" that is usually quiet and unconscious originally contains infinite tension, and there seems to be no bookish fragrance here, and there seems to be a quiet tranquility here, guiding you to let go of everything, just want to find a book, spend a quiet time, and feel a mellow fragrance.
In 1955, Borges wrote: "I have always had a secret idea in my mind that heaven should be like a library. "Here, I would like to say that if heaven is what a library looks like, then the mortal world with a study room in Hedong is our paradise on earth. You see, at this moment, the autumn sun has turned into a light shadow, the bright moon is accompanied by the breeze, slowly swaying on the water, the wisps of starlight, the fragrance of osmanthus into the ink fragrance of books, time has become warm yellow, there is an old appearance in a trance, everything is so simple and beautiful, long and peaceful......
