"The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river falls in yen." This is the artistic conception written by the poet, but it is also a charming landscape painting. If the photographer can capture such a meaningful shot, it will certainly become a well-known and intriguing work of art.
I can't help thinking of my childhood when I think of cooking smoke.
I remember that at that time, every household in rural areas used earthen stoves-the kind of earthen stoves that burned wood and smoked. One night early in the morning, we often go to the mountains to collect firewood, or go to the fields to herd cattle. At that time, there was no money to buy watches, but cooking smoke became our "work and rest clock", telling us when to go home. When we saw milky white or light blue smoke coming from the distant village, we knew that grandma, grandma and aunts had started cooking. Until the smoke gathers in a layer, a pile, from light to thick, and from thick to light, until it gradually drifts away. At this time, we estimate that the meals of each household are almost ready. So, like a conditioned reflex, picking firewood or riding a cow, singing melodious and crisp nursery rhymes all the way home to comfort the hungry.
Looking back on the long river of history and the development history of human society, it can be said that the smoke from the kitchen runs through. Two or three million years ago, since we bid farewell to animal-like life, human beings have forged an indissoluble bond with cooking smoke. In this extremely long time, Cooking Smoke has completed its own long historical picture, from wild bonfires to greenhouses, from rural areas to towns, from bonfires to national prosperity and people's safety ... Around the theme of the continuous development of human society, Cooking Smoke is willing to set itself off as an eternal concerto, a life hymn that integrates man and nature.
Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the gradual popularization of energy sources such as electricity, coal, liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas, the figure of cooking smoke has become less and less common. This makes many people who used to live in the countryside feel bored and depressed after moving to the city, and feel farther and farther away from nature; At the same time, many city people who grew up in the city secretly have hopes and daydreams about cooking smoke. Therefore, they often find opportunities to leave the bustling and boring cities and have picnics and barbecues in the wild and countryside to enjoy the comfort and fun of returning to nature and simplicity. Ah! Isn't this the tangible and intangible charm of kitchen smoke?
It is true that from "no cooking smoke" to "cooking smoke" is the progress of human history, and from "more cooking smoke" to "less cooking smoke" also marks the development of society.
I hope that cooking smoke is accompanied by an eternal concerto in the course of human history.
