The grass and trees are shaken into frost, and the old saying is "a year to make up for it thoroughly, it is better to make up for the frost", cherish the last autumn day, and prepare for winter.
Frost is the last festival of autumn. Frost, dew condensed also. The white dew is frost, and the chill is progressive. Our ancestors, fearing that their people would be "blitzed" by the cold current, reminded step by step through the most synaesthetic phenology. Late rice threshing cotton is turned over and dried, and finely harvested and collected. After the frost falls, the flowers are resting, winter is really here, and there is still something to be completed, hurry up. Whether the tone is gentle and subtle, philosophical and timeless, or harsh and sharp, it is a concern and love for the human world.
Folk proverbs include: alpine snow, plain frost. The mountains are related to the spiritual sublimation of people, and the plains are the fireworks of the world. The colder the day, the more people will be particularly greedy for fireworks and warmth. As the old saying goes, "It is better to make up for it in a year than to make up for it.". Frost knew its responsibility, it sneaked into the night with the wind, and draped the earth with silver clothes, and the fields of Quemo, the wood stacks on the roof ridges, a grass that shrank in the cold wind, frost hugged it, and the spring silkworm spit silk, and knitted it snow-white clothes, and the sun shone down, and the grass stems were beautiful and flexible.
At first sight of the frost, my mother was quite happy, and our lives had a turning point of "adding sugar". Bai Juyi wrote: Thick frost hits cabbage, frost is empty and self-strict. Don't see the dish heart dead, turn the dish heart sweet. Frost is like a magician, and it has become a sweet big industry overnight. Through its touch, cabbage, radish, spinach, will become sweet and sticky, only add salt is very delicious, amusing people's appetite, which is what every family can afford. It can spread the taste of sweetness to every household, awaken people's sensitivity to seasons, dilute the desolation of life, and let all sentient beings taste the happiness of living in their mouths. The cold on the outside and the frost on the inside are really merciful.
The child was still young, read him the British children's book "The Sound of the Willow Forest", there is a passage in the book, writing that the arrogant and naïve rich second generation toad squatted in prison after the disaster, the heart was desperate, that day encountered a bowl of cabbage, "the strong fragrance into his nostrils, immediately made him feel that life may not be as desperate and empty as he imagined." My son was curious to ask me what cabbage was and how it could be so fragrant. I naturally grafted the story into the experience of daily life, telling him that this is a cabbage after frost beating, very sweet and sticky, a bowl of vegetables can be so beautiful, and the beauty that exists in life is not much, much.
The late autumn of paraquat yellow is when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom. The garden garden, mostly full-headed and fat-brained chrysanthemums, rumbles and blooms, like the flowers in the play. Under the makeup of heavy makeup, the scenery on the stage is occupied, which does not represent happiness in life. I love the wild little yellow chrysanthemum, the yellow petals of the goose are like thin scales, and one flower is a small sun. Humble and small, but can live brightly and self-consistently. Lao Du said that "autumn wild day is sparse", with a small yellow chrysanthemum is enough to brilliant autumn field. And the black trees on the field, after the frost falls, one by one like green peacocks "chew" open the screen, until the colorful leaves fall out, the beams explode on the iron black branches, like white plums. If there is no frost, it will not be able to become this kind of wind and current.
E.M. Foster has put forward the famous theory of "flat figures" and "round figures": flat figures are shaped around a single concept or quality, and circular figures are more changeable, even if they are older, they still retain the possibility of formation and development. The black oak tree in late autumn gives us a glimpse of what is "round" - vicissitudes do not mean that we cannot make ourselves better. There are also persimmons, bare branches, and red lanterns, swaying a tree of scorching light, and the eyes are falling. After the frost falls, the lantern persimmon is sweet and dripping, and eating one a day will solve half of the vitamin C needs of a person in a day. As the old saying goes, eat the sticks on the day of the frost, do not have a runny nose all winter, and the lips will not crack. It is frost's "Creation Bell God Show". People like it, and birds rejoice.
Frost falls are both physical and emotional. The reform of the New Deal of the Qingli Calendar failed, and Ouyang Xiu, one of the parties involved, was also demoted to Chuzhou with a frost, and the great literary hero did not collapse because of this, but wrote the famous "Drunken Pavilion Record" of literary history, leaving deep ruts under the pressure. And Su Shi's "Chibi Fu" before and after the song is not also a masterpiece when he was degraded to Huangzhou. The so-called "article hates fate", Du Laofuzi as early as a thousand years ago, the spirit of optimism about the life tempered by the wind and frost.
In the bottom of our hearts, we will always appreciate the sweetness in suffering, the warmth in the cold, and the pride under the frost.
Life in the world, it is inevitable to be troubled - a heart, can withstand the frost, winter does not feel difficult. (Wang Zhengyu)
