The sparse green shadows in the mirror poems have a lot of meaning
The red and purple are scattered and the grass is not fragrant.
It is better to carry a stick to the pond.
Looking at the flowers is worse than looking at the leaves.
The lush green shadows are meaningful.
"Looking at Leaves" by Luo Yuyu of the Song Dynasty
In May, spring has long gone. In May of this year, in the cold wind and rain, I "beared to see the red dust on the road, and the endless green grass in the empty space", I also realized that "what is the end of life's joys and sorrows, is it to welcome and send spring away" meaning.
This trip to Chenzhou revived my desolate heart. In the process of taking photos, my mood can be freed from the heavy barriers, and I can feel the meaning of life in the greenery of nature.
Chenzhou Feitian Mountain Scenic Area is a Danxia landform. Since it was not the peak tourist season, there were very few people. For me, sparsely populated areas are more suitable for photography. It was just that when we arrived here, the sun had already risen, and the light was very strong, making it difficult to take excellent photos. However, there is a different kind of style when you are "walking in the green smoke" and appreciate the leisurely atmosphere of "chasing the sun and the clear scenery".
The miraculous craftsmanship of the Creator is so unpredictable that I am immersed in it and get lost in it. In "the cliffs are surrounded by vast greenery, and the desolate roads are cut by people," I pay special attention to those green lives.
On the red cliff of Danyan, not a single blade of grass grows. However, that little nameless tree can take root in the barren stone crevices. With only a little bit of soil, a little bit of water, and a little bit of sunshine, life can be like this. Tough and tenacious, so endless, so charming.
The east wind blows, and the reed flowers dance lightly. In the distance, there is a house on top of a boulder, which looks even more lonely amidst the faint chirping of cicadas in early summer. Perhaps, "the dust is unbearable", this is the paradise. In the mountains far away from the hustle and bustle, I feel "very quiet, lonely and sad, and stubborn and embarrassed." After all, I have been feeling depressed for a long time.
I walked slowly, silently thinking about my thoughts. Unknowingly, I was alone and far away from my companions. I'm not in a hurry, because not everyone can appreciate the fun of "walking slowly among the moss, under the shadow of a small forest."
The mountain road is getting more and more rugged, and the path is covered with thick layers of residual red and fallen leaves. I stood by the roadside and took a break. One or two butterflies were dancing in the shadow of the flowers, and one or two bees were busy running around among the flowers. Facing this scene, I felt thoughtful. Perhaps, it is more appropriate to describe the scene at this moment with the words "a man and a fallen hero are both lonely, and the butterflies are wandering in flight".
Recently, in addition to photography, I am also obsessed with the poetic and picturesque meaning of Tang poetry and Song lyrics. While walking, my mind kept changing the pictures described by the poet, and I searched for the scenery in front of me from time to time. I searched in the memory bank of poems for poems that fit the scenery in front of me. Some people may make fun of me for being pedantic, but I am addicted to it and never tire of it. There are many kinds of happiness, and this way of thinking is exactly my way of finding happiness.
In the vast sea of ??poetry, my favorite poems change with the different periods of my growth. When I was young and vigorous, I fell in love with the bold and unrestrained sentiments of traveling eastward; but this year, I am no longer confused and I know all the sorrow, but I like the subtle and graceful flavor. Recently, I suddenly found many poems that fit my state of mind in the Song Dynasty poems that are energetic, subtle, fragrant and long-lasting, including Luo Yu's poems.
Luo Yu had a bumpy career, and devoted himself to Taoism in his later years. I have always loved the teachings of Lao and Zhuang, and I have a non-imposed attitude towards life, and I just take things as they come. After going through a period of hard work in recent times, "I feel that my Taoist heart has become stronger, and my poetry has become clearer." It seems that I am not far from Luo Yu's mentality.
“Fame and fame are not related to the past, and the timing is better to know how to move forward.” Everyone has a different view on the interest rate of fame and fame, and I am already tired of chasing money, fame, fortune, and status. My thinking has become simpler now. See flowers as flowers, see water as water; in a person's life, the so-called seat, money, wife, son, house, and car may appear to be colorful and beautiful scenery, but in reality they are all mirror flowers and water moon. In the end, they are all empty. Why should I be stuck in it and unable to extricate myself?
Only your mood is your own.
The mountain turns around and the eyes light up.
Deep in the bamboo forest, it suddenly becomes clear. There is a quiet pond here. Across the pond, in a green ocean, there was a little girl in white running happily on the shore. This kind of picture was refreshing to me. I raised my camera to freeze this beautiful scenery forever.
Beside the pond, there are green shadows in the sparse, "the sound of cicadas and the soft whispers of swallows harmonize with each other, and the surface of the pond is only dotted with floating loads." Although there are only a few sparse lotus leaves and no lotus flowers in the lotus pond, the scenery is still charming.
The leaf shadows are patchwork, flickering bright and dark; the lotus leaves are in the fields, green and green; the lotus stems are thin and handsome, dancing an elegant tango on the clear water. The nameless grass by the pool, although not as beautiful as the red flowers, is still charming.
Flowers fade easily, but only the simple, ordinary green of life is the most lasting.
