That Pure Land Prose 1
I remember when I was a child, I always wanted to go to the outside world and see what the sea outside looked like, and whether I could hear the conch shell by putting it close to my ear. The voice of the sea girl. Now that the wish has come true, there is no sea in the outside world, and the voice of the sea girl has not been heard. The world outside contains only high-rise buildings and a gray world of reinforced concrete. Some are just night scenes decorated with neon lights. The land lost its original fragrance and was covered with thick asphalt.
I am like a small boat, rushing in this ocean called the city. I was trying to find the other side of the ocean, and slowly I became exhausted. I tried to paddle back to shore but I was lost. I tried to put the conch close to my ear, but what I heard was the sound of the sea crying. I'm a little confused, I'm afraid I can't find my way back and lose myself.
In September I returned to this place, the land where I have lived for 20 years, the land that I love so much. After running around all night, I took a deep breath of the air mixed with moisture. Yes, it was the fragrant smell of the land. On this fertile soil, there are people who are busy making a living. The greenery at the foot of the mountain is full of people who are busy making a living day and night. It’s great to see you.
The originally tense nerves were like full of legal regulations, but everything was relieved when I returned to my hometown. Where the sea and the sky meet, I seem to hear the whistle of the ship. The waves are eroding the beach, and the seagulls are circling in search of fish and shrimp. The sky here is blue, and the hills not far away are vaguely visible. There is no haze and no sand. dust. I'm still here looking into the distance like I did when I was a kid. This pure land is so peaceful. Close your eyes and open your hands, listen, listen to the sound of the wind blowing. I am a child who grew up here listening to the sea breeze. The sea breeze is still there, listen quietly, quietly... The sun is warm, Shine the light on my body and wash away the glitz and vanity. Everything is so peaceful as the prodigal son returns to the pure land.
September is the harvest season, what do I harvest? Is it a compass pointing the way or igniting new fighting spirit? How I want the prodigal son to return home, just stay here quietly and no longer run for the so-called life.
This pure land is a good medicine to purify the soul. Return to the pure land and wash away the prosperity. . . . . That Pure Land Prose 2
"Legend has it that there is a snow mountain with white clouds floating on the top of the mountain..." Listening to Sun Nan's "Pure Land", I couldn't help but open the photos on my computer again, Wuyuan, Yunnan, Qiandao Lake... These photos not only record the steps of our travels, but also make us appreciate the loveliness of blue sky and clear water. Before the Qingming Festival, we came to the vicinity of Qiandao Lake, strolled by the lake, and breathed in the air with water vapor. I deeply sighed: "The air is so fresh! The environment is so good!" People walking with us also nodded. In fact, in addition to mountains, we have them all here. There are also large tracts of golden rapeseed flowers, and the wheat seedlings are also green. Although there is no large area of ??water, we have countless ponds and rivers, but they are comparable to the beautiful scenery in front of us. Compared to , but there is a big difference. Just because the water is not as clear as here, the air is not as fresh as here, and the sky is not as blue. Plus, without the gurgling water, it is naturally worse.
In my memory, there is also a long river in front of the village. When I was a child, the whole village used the water in the river to wash clothes, wash rice and wash vegetables by the river. In summer, many people People love to swim in the river and touch some mussels to add to the food. There are many tall trees on both sides of the river. My friends and I love to enjoy the shade under the trees and catch cicadas with our homemade nets... The river gives us Life brings convenience and happiness.
But now, every household uses tap water, and no one goes to the river to wash things anymore. Occasionally, some people pick up some water to water vegetables, just because the water is not as clear as before, and there are some strange things in summer. The taste gradually faded out of people's lives.
When I was a child, I walked with my friends on the way to and from school. Although there was a dirt road under my feet and there were many unknown weeds on the road, there were also many weeds growing on both sides of the road. Many crops, in spring, golden rapeseed flowers nod to us, industrious little bees are busy among the flowers, green wheat seedlings sway in the wind, and purple broad bean flowers are like many small eyes blinking; in summer, the wheat is mature and golden A large area of ??tender green seedlings is working hard to grow; in autumn, a large area of ??rice fields rustles, and when passing by, little frogs jump desperately into the crop fields, picking up a radish, and peeling it is the best fruit; in winter, The weeds on the road have turned yellow and are soft and comfortable to step on... Whenever we go to school, the scenery accompanies us as we walk and run, laughing all the way.
Nowadays, the paths of childhood have long been submerged by countless weeds and can no longer be passed by people. Wide cement roads lead to every household. Motorcycles, cars and other means of transportation have facilitated people’s travels. When traveling, our surroundings are always filled with dust and smoke, and even the trees and grass on the roadside are covered with a thick layer of ash. I always think that it is better to walk, which not only exercises my body, but also protects the environment.
I often hear people complain that scenic spots such as West Lake and Taihu Lake are not as beautiful as before. The reason is that more people go there and there is more garbage.
When we come to these places, we can often see staff picking up packaging bags and fruit shells thrown away by tourists, and salvaging floating drink bottles, plastic bags, etc. in the lake. This is not only their job, but in fact they also want to Give everyone a beautiful and tidy place to welcome more guests.
Ours is not a scenic spot, but we long for a pure land. We hope that the river around us is clear, the sky is blue, the grass and trees are clean green, and when we wake up in the morning, we can smell the fresh fragrance. The air, the clean environment in front of you. Pure land does not need others to create it for us. When we can avoid littering and take the initiative to pick it up, we can reduce the destruction around us. Slowly, blue sky and clear water will return to our lives. .
I hope the Pure Land is not far from us! That Pure Land Prose 3
Water is pure because of its purity; heart is beautiful because of its purity; soil is moist because of its purity.
The Pure Land is free from the pollution of the world and is often described as the world where Buddhas and Bodhisattvas live. It also generally refers to a place without pollution or hustle and bustle. Whether it is objects or people, everything should be pure. "Pure" is imbued with eternal charm, so I like to pursue the "Pure Land".
Where is the pure land? Please follow my footsteps to the Haifeng Wetland in Zhanyi, Qujing City, Yunnan Province, and experience that pure land as well as what I saw, heard and thought!
You may have visited or heard about many beautiful and famous mountains, but Haifeng Wetland may be unfamiliar to you, or even unheard of or seen. Why am I not? The first time I knew the name Haifeng Wetland was when a friend said on WeChat: "Haifeng Wetland is a rare piece of virgin land and a beautiful pure land." When I saw WeChat, we happened to be visiting the Erhai Lake in Yunnan, so Haifeng Wetland It immediately became our new travel destination.
Haifeng Wetland is located in Dapo Township, Zhanyi County, Qujing, Yunnan Province, about 150 kilometers away from Kunming and about 40 kilometers away from Zhanyi County. It was already evening when we arrived from Erhai Lake to Qujing. Gray-black clouds were wandering in the sky. On the western horizon, the setting sun struggled to poke out from the gaps in the clouds. The glow decorated the surrounding dark clouds with golden edges and decorated my mood. The proverb goes, "If you don't go out when the morning glow goes out, the sunset will travel thousands of miles." It indicates that the weather will be good tomorrow.
Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, the gray sky gradually brightened up, and the light orange morning glow passed through the clouds and sprinkled on the buildings in the city. We happily packed our luggage and set off to Haifeng Wetland. .
Shortly after leaving the city, we were confused at the intersection of a new road. The car was silent and we didn’t know where to go. As the saying goes, "The mouth is the world, and the feet are the road." I got off the car and asked for directions. A couple in their fifties happened to be riding a bicycle, so I asked them: "Hello, big brother and big sister! How do I get to Haifeng Wetland?" "They stopped the car immediately, and the eldest brother told me with gestures what kind of landmark buildings we should pass and how to walk through the roundabout. After that, he took out a pen from his bag and drew a simple driving diagram, with a few words and a few scribbles. The pen is full of friendship. I poured my gratitude into my hand, held my elder brother's hand and said repeatedly: "Thank you!"
Di! Beep! Beep! The car sang cheerfully again and ran towards Haifeng Wetland.
The car ran smoothly on the way to Haifeng Wetland. After running on the winding country road for nearly two hours, Haifeng Wetland really appeared in our field of vision. I saw large and small mountains, high and low, scattered in the quiet lake, which was really strange and beautiful.
In some mountains, rocks and trees alternate. Unknown small trees stretch out from the cracks in the rocks, growing vigorously and embracing the gray-white stones. The exposed rocks are in various shapes, like sheep, like Rhinoceros, like elephants, turtles, and bears, stand, squat, or lie comfortably among them; some mountains protrude a little from the lake, and the hills are covered with green velvet grass, like a green carpet floating on the lake. On the water surface; some mountains are full of character, just like a strong man showing off his beautiful skin, moist and shiny, majestic and vigorous; some mountains are unique in shape, with one or several small trees occasionally emerging from the mountainside or top of the mountain, which is lifelike. Take off an ingenious bonsai; some mountains are low and strange, in groups of twos and threes, some are in the lake, and some are in the grass beside the lake, like hippos playing in the water, and like animals gathering...
Look at the road at your feet again. After entering the scenic spot, the cement road was replaced by a dirt road paved with small stones and red soil. It winds and nestles beside the wetland lake. Looking around, it looks like a red dragon flying among it, and Like a red ribbon dancing in the mountains; beside the road, there are clusters and ridges of red seed trees growing, and the branches are covered with bunches of round, moist and bulging red seeds. , bright red, bright and sparkling, like pocket red lanterns, and like magnificent rubies, clever and delicate, simple but revealing a slight luxury, bright but not dry, thick but not overpowering, forming a perfect match with this mountain , the size, distance, and shade of this lake are suitable for the unique scenery.
The road is bumpy, the cars are jumping up or down, left or right, and our excited hearts are rippling.
The car moved forward slowly along the red dirt road by the lake. The mountains never turn around, and the lake never turns around. Every time we turn around a mountain and walk a certain distance, what we see before our eyes is A beautiful picture.
The car turned a corner and went around a beam, and saw a few horses grazing on the grass dam beside the lake. Under a big rock beside the dam, two old farmers were smoking and chatting. From time to time, the sky flashed. The clear chirping of birds can be heard, a few men and women are busy picking tobacco leaves in the fields, and a few children are playing next to the small village... All of this makes people feel the natural harmony between man and nature.
Haifeng Wetland does not have the reputation of Shangri-La, nor does it have the ancient charm of Lijiang. The mountains, lakes and everything here are always open to you with a frank mind and innocent face, waiting for your arrival. ; There are no scenic gates, no pavilions, plank roads, and no man-made facilities here. If you have to find something, it would be standing quietly by the lake or roadside with the words "Protect the wetlands, the work will last for a long time." A promotional sign, nothing more; I haven't met any other tourists along the way, and the wetland is quiet and peaceful. The mountains, water, dirt roads, and villages here are all original, just like a lyric: "The mountains are still the same mountains, and the beams are still the same beams..." This is the taste of sea peaks and wetlands. , the taste of the mountains and wilderness, pure and pure! We have to leave a slow taste. So I temporarily put aside my appreciation of Haifeng Wetland and went to the farm to find a place to settle down.
After driving along the red dirt road for about half an hour, we saw a small signboard hanging on the tree beside the road - "Shengyuan Farmhouse". According to the contact information on the sign, we After contacting the host, a few minutes later, a woman in her thirties, with dark skin, neither fat nor thin, came towards us with a smile. We asked eagerly: "Can I stay here?" The woman asked gently and firmly. She said to us, "Yes! Come with me to have a look. If you are satisfied, you can stay." We were taken to her small courtyard building. The room facilities were simple but very clean. What was even more gratifying was that when we opened the window, we could see the beautiful scenery of Haifeng Wetland. They rushed towards us and we said without hesitation: "We will stay at your house!" The woman said readily, "Okay! I will give you all the rooms facing the wetland without charging you more money." Then he called his family to help us carry our luggage. After settling in, he told us: "The weather is good today. The sunset will be beautiful. It's still early. Let's take a rest and go have a look. Dinner will be later. I'll wait for you to come back after watching." ! "Simple language makes us feel comfortable and warm like home.
We can’t wait to jump into the embrace of Haifeng Wetland immediately. Put away your luggage and immediately drive towards the wetland.
After walking forward for a while, through the red trees beside the road, we saw a large fruit forest. The trees were not high and covered with green fruits the size of table tennis balls. This fruit was our first The first time we saw it, it was covered with small thorns. We talked about it curiously. Some said it was "hairy lychee", some said it was "prickly pear", and some said it was "chestnut". There were different opinions. Who was right? "Hee! Hee! Hee! It's chestnut!" Laughter and voices came from the forest. When we got out of the car, we saw two boys and girls about seven or eight years old under the woods, holding bamboo sticks in their hands. We are picking fruits, "What are you picking?" "Chestnuts" they told us timidly and quietly. "Do you sell chestnuts?" The boy nodded, and then whispered in the girl's ear, "Pick more, they want to buy chestnuts." He heard the little girl's laughter again, floating like silver bells in the orchard, and sprinkled it to us Happiness and joy!
Our car continued to move forward, turned into a narrow branch road by the lake, and stopped in front of a big tree at the end. Next to the big tree is the farmyard. As soon as the car parked, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" came from the courtyard. The barking of a dog sounded like a welcome, a greeting, and a report to the owner that "a guest is here." A man in his sixties walked out of the courtyard. He was short and had a cheerful voice. He looked at our license plates and said, "Friends from Chongqing, are you going to play at the lake?" We answered him, "Yes! Let's go to the lake!" "Come, follow me." We followed him, walked through the small courtyard, and walked into the pear forest beside the courtyard. The trees were covered with yellow pears, and the branches were bent. When walking under the trees, the pears would naughtily I touched your head and really wanted to kiss it. Some people couldn't help but say: "Brother, these pears are so good!" After hearing this, the eldest brother reached out and picked a few for us. We didn't have time to peel them and stuffed them into our mouths. "It's so sweet! Brother, are these pears for sale?" "You can eat them if you grow them at home." After the elder brother took us to the lake, he said, "You guys go play, I'll pick some pears."
When you come to the lake, Haifeng Wetland appears in front of you. There is water in the mountains, and there are mountains in the water. The large and small peaks are like chess pieces arranged on the water surface, dividing the sparkling lake water into pieces and connecting them with each other. The red earth, green The grass is inlaid on the edge of the lake. Sometimes the red soil is shyly hidden in the grass and exposed, like the bangs on a girl's head. It is cute and sweet. Sometimes the red soil is spread out on the green grass, like a red carpet, noble and romantic. The red of the land and the green of the grass not only add beauty to the mountains and water, making the land full of vitality and vitality, but also complement each other with the mountains and water, showing the beauty of harmony. The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror and as smooth as satin, and everything on the mountain peaks is written in the water like a treasure. Whether it is because it is afraid that the mountains will not know its own beautiful appearance, or it is afraid that the mountains will be lonely, they have cloned the peaks to accompany them. Occasionally, the wind blows, causing small ripples on the lake surface, like fish scales, like thousands of fish swimming in the water. After a while, the wind stopped, and the lake surface returned to its peaceful and well-behaved appearance; seaweed grew in the shallow water, with small white flowers blooming. Its scientific name is seaweed flower, but the Yunnan people call it "watery poplar flower", which can be eaten as a vegetable.
According to the information, "Water Populus" is a delicate plant that has very strict requirements on water quality. It likes warm and clean water bodies. If the water body is slightly polluted, they will die in pieces until they become extinct. The blooming flowers tell everyone about the clean water quality of Haifeng Wetland. There are little stars, some delicate and blooming in the water, and some bright and blooming on the water. The calmness above and the shyness below add color to the water. It is agile and adds color to this land. The steel of the mountains, the softness of the water, the beauty of the flowers, the strangeness of the stones, and the colors of the red earth and green grass all together paint a beautiful picture of the landscape.
Just as we were intoxicated by the picturesque scenery, a loud voice came - "Friends from Chongqing, you are thirsty, come and eat pears!" I saw the eldest brother carrying two bags of pears. Pears came over and I gave him the money. The eldest brother smiled and said, "The ones grown at home are not worth much." Then he returned the extra money to us. No matter what we said, he would not accept it and said: "Have a good time, I'm going fishing." As he said that, he jumped on the boat on the lake, pushed the bamboo pole hard, and the boat floated into the lake like a dragonfly touching the water. It was so beautiful! It’s true that “a land and water can support people”!
We chewed the pears, and the sweet juice filled our bodies, making us feel refreshed. We played wildly, some jumped on the red soil, some rolled up their trouser legs and played in the lake, some chased the cattle and sheep with cameras and kept clicking the shutter, and some posed in various poses on the grass to take photos. , some are lying or squatting on stones in a daze... intoxicated. Before we knew it was almost dusk, we left here reluctantly, heading to the top of the sea peak to have a bird's eye view of the beauty of the sunset over the wetland.
We came to a tall mountain peak very close to the road, parked the car and walked towards the mountain peak. To go to the mountain peak, you have to pass a grassland, which is overgrown with weeds and extremely high. When you walk in, only your head is exposed. The blades of the grass are hard and painful when they prick your arms and hands. I am a little timid and hesitant as I walk in front. , looked back at my companions and said: "Are you still going?" My companions replied in unison: "Let's go!" Looking at my companions' eager expressions, I mustered up the courage to push aside the weeds and continue moving forward. I stepped on it tentatively with one foot and felt solid. Then I followed up with the other foot. After walking for a while, my face was covered with sweat. When I saw the foot of the mountain, there was another ditch more than one meter wide blocking us. It was daunting and we could only go back in frustration. Let's go, looking at the clouds that are gradually dyed red by the sunset, we hurriedly walked along the road, looking for the way up the mountain. Suddenly two figures appeared in the field of vision. We stepped on the accelerator and went forward. When we got closer, we saw that these were the two children we met in the chestnut forest. We happily asked: "Hello kids, have you gone home?" They nodded and asked, "Do you know where we can go up the mountain?" The little boy turned his head and pointed to the third peak in front of the road and said, "That mountain can be climbed", and then told us how to go: at the fork in front, at the 'Protect the Wetland' 'There is a path next to the sign. The car is parked there. Walk along the path into the wetland, pass a red soil beach, and then cross a stone road. There is a path up the mountain. There is a viewing platform at the end of the path. The sunset is the most beautiful there. ! We said gratefully: "Thank you! We live in Shengyuan Farmhouse. If you want to sell chestnuts, come to us there and we will buy as much as you can!"
We parked the car at the fork in the road the little boy said. , walking along the path, it is said to be a road, but it is actually a path that has been stepped on. The waist of the grass is no longer so straight, there is some dirt on the blades, and it is not so smooth and smooth. It is much lower than the grass that has not been stepped on. The road on the red soil beach just has more footprints than other red soil beaches. What about the stone road? It was in a place with water. I picked up small stones and spread them on it. The stones still swayed when I walked on it. The road up the mountain is also paved with stones and soil. It is flat but not wide and can accommodate two people walking side by side. The natural and simple road is the same as the mountains, people and water here. There is no decoration. Walking on it makes you feel happy. Feel the scent of nature being sucked into your heart and hugging you tightly!
At the end of the road is a big rock. This is what the child called the "viewing platform." This is the simplest viewing platform I have ever seen so far, and it is also the most peculiar viewing platform. . The stone is neither high nor flat. There are some small holes on the waist. You can climb up to the "viewing platform" by stepping on the small holes with your feet and holding the stones with your hands. The "viewing platform" is not wide and can accommodate 3 or 4 people. Standing on it, you can have an unobstructed view of Haifeng Wetland. I suddenly realized the meaning of the word "Haifeng": the sea is naturally big. Peak, sitting on a stone mountain with a sword pointing to the sky. When these two words are put together, they contain "wonderful mountains and beautiful waters".
At this time, the setting sun seems to be not far above the peak of the mountain. This scene also reminds me of the poem in Wang Yucheng's "Village Tour" of the Song Dynasty, "There are thousands of valleys with the sound of late music, and several peaks stand silently." setting sun". The gorgeous rays of sunshine shot out from the gaps in the clouds, covering the mountain peaks with a layer of red gauze. The peaks were like graceful girls, waiting for the pursuit and search of their sweethearts. They were a little more charming, showing a literary and elegant atmosphere, and the sunset The gorgeous colors are softly dyed in the lake, like a girl's lifted princess dress, luxurious and gorgeous; the white, gray, yellow villages and red soil are scattered in the wetlands and beside the mountains, like a Beautiful flowers are blooming; the clouds wandering in the sky, no matter they are originally white, gray or gray-black, are dyed by the rays of the sun, or appear red, or white with red, gray and red, which makes me think of people It is often said that "the one who is close to vermilion is red, and the one who is close to ink is black."
"
What about the sunset in the water? The lake turned into a mirror. Sometimes it became long and dragged in the water, like a golden peacock with its tail spread out, showing off its golden feathers. Sometimes it turned into a brilliant golden peacock. Yellow roses float in the water, sometimes turning into countless stars twinkling in the water...
Just when we are intoxicated, before we have time to say goodbye, the setting sun closes our eyes and quietly The ground fell asleep, the sky was quiet, the sea peaks were quiet, the wetlands were quiet, and the villages were quiet. Everywhere was filled with the breath of silence, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
In the silence, we walked towards the farmhouse. , the enthusiastic owner was already waiting at the intersection with a flashlight, and told us: "The little boy buying chestnuts is waiting for you in the yard." The boy saw us, handed the bag to me and said, "This is the chestnut you bought." , I quickly took out a hundred yuan and gave it to them. The boy looked at it and said, "That's a lot!" I stroked his face: "Not much, you are tired, go home quickly!" But they hesitated and refused to leave, "You really gave me too much, not that much."
"It's a reward from Auntie. It's getting late, so go back quickly!" "The little boy smiled shyly at me, took the little girl's hand and left. The flashlight flashed towards the distance, so bright in the night...
