Autumn has always been a season that can attract people's imagination and thinking. Besides, it is a gloomy autumn in Chengdu. In this dreary autumn atmosphere, I thought of another kind of autumn, the autumn of my hometown-the autumn of mountains and seas.
When I was a child, I liked to use adjectives such as "clear clouds and clear wind" and "crisp autumn air". Compared with this gloomy autumn in the ancient capital, the autumn in my hometown is much brighter. Maybe only that kind of sky can be called "sky". In the blue sky, there are a few white clouds floating lazily. If you are a hairspring, if you are flying, it will never hinder your view of the sky. Occasionally, a flock of egrets or geese fly by, adding a bit of agility to this sky. The autumn wind is blowing, and I am on cloud nine with gorgeous autumn leaves. Autumn sunshine is always generous and gentle. He is like an old man in his 500 s. He experienced ignorance in spring, enthusiasm in summer and steadiness in autumn. He selflessly dedicates his light and heat, cherishes every potential of himself, and carefully blends it so that everything in the world can enjoy the beauty and softness of this autumn. Undoubtedly satisfied with his masterpiece, he walked to the other side of the mountain and looked back at this poetic land with reluctance.
Autumn in the south is not as clear as autumn in the north, but you can easily see its existence. Look, this is Shan Ye's Maple Grove, which is the most faithful messenger of autumn. Looking at the gorgeous color like fire, it is not difficult to give birth to Du Mu's daydream of "parking in the maple forest late, the frost leaves are redder than February flowers". And the yellow leaves are gone, leaving only the gray-black branches of the phoenix tree. Simple and clear reveals a kind of simplicity and solemnity. Weeds are withered, chrysanthemums are yellow, and the old banyan trees in the century-old school are also falling leaves. The school is located in the north of Fengcheng in western Fujian. Behind the school is a hill called Fengshan. The hill is famous for its old school, and it looks atmospheric because of the hill. Mr. Feng Shui said that it was this hill and Fengshan that made the old-school talents come forth in large numbers and shocked people.
At that time, I was overwhelmed by studying, so I often went to Fengshan alone to enjoy this beautiful autumn. I like sitting or lying alone in this quiet Shan Ye. Forget this noisy world for a while, forget this annoying geometric algebra triangle for a while, ABC, and just appreciate this rare peace with your heart. The mountain wind blows through the pine forest and rushes like a big wave; Here in Shan Ye, a vine grows to one or two meters long, or clings to a small bush, or crawls among weeds. At the moment, it is bearing a string of red fruits similar to red beans. If you cut off one or two clusters and put them between tables, they will not wither for a week, and they will be bright and beautiful. A bird's-eye view of Fengcheng from Fengshan shows that high-rise buildings have mushroomed, and the booming Fengcheng is expanding around at an extremely fast speed. At the end of the city, on the other side of the river, an indomitable iron dragon stretches into the distance. This is the Meikan Railway under construction, which is known as the golden passage-the only direct railway passage between Fujian and Guangdong.
Min is known as the hometown of mountains and seas. East Fujian is the sea and west Fujian is the mountain. In the era of national construction, a beautiful hometown is rare, but it still preserves this purity. The mountains here are still so green, and the water here is still so beautiful, which still allows you to truly understand what autumn mountain is and what autumn water is. This mountain and this water can't help reminding you of your happy childhood. In junior high school, the school was located by the Tingjiang River, and the beautiful Tingjiang River became our happy paradise. Here, we once rolled up our trouser legs and touched the stone snails in Repulse Bay. We used to chase egrets barefoot here; Here, we once dug a small pit on the soft beach and set up a bench to catch sparrows; Here, we used to fill buckets with mice and watch the mice that fled in a hurry laugh and scream; Here we used to dig loach in the dry pond to recall these happy childhood, and we still feel childlike.
Today, it is undergoing great changes. A huge hydropower station will rise in the downstream, and it will be as flat as a mirror today next year. My friend wrote to tell me that on the day of impoundment, there was a faint attachment between the lines, "The flooded old strip washed away the old footprints". I wrote back happily and said, "I'd like to watch the rolling flood inundate the streets of the old city and wash away all the old dust." Because the curved river is not there, it is blue waves and the mountains are laughing! "
In Chengdu and even in most parts of the country, kites are flown on March 3, while in my hometown of western Fujian, kites are flown on the Double Ninth Festival on September 9. On this day, parents will make a simple kite for their children-just a rectangular shape and several long "tails". Children will take these simple kites to the nearby mountains to fly, jump, laugh and fly higher than their kites. The scene of kites flying all over the sky and laughter filling the hillside is unforgettable. No one can explain clearly why people in their hometown choose the Double Ninth Festival to let their children fly this simple kite in the mountains. I just think for no reason, maybe the Hakkas want to express their yearning for the homeland of the Central Plains. In the past 1000 years, the ancestors of Hakkas have moved south on a large scale many times during the war and famine. Today, Hakkas live in eastern Guangdong, western Fujian and southeastern Jiangxi, but they are scattered in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hongkong, Taiwan Province and Nanyang. The ancestors pinned their homesickness on flying kites on the Double Ninth Festival. Over time, this custom has been handed down. Hakka people are famous for their simplicity, so it is not surprising that Hakka kites are simple.
In order to resist the attack of local natives, the ancestors of Hakka people in the past built earth buildings like iron walls. These earth buildings are almost indestructible. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, soldiers and bandits, earthquakes, fires and floods, it still stands tall. The earth building, which has been neglected for hundreds of years, is now known as "a wonderful flower in the history of world architecture" and is famous at home and abroad. And is applying to UNESCO to become a world cultural heritage. Simple Hakkas are open and hospitable. This is the famous Bagan in the west of Fujian, where there is a real barren liquid-Hakka wine, and there are mountains and rivers that can't be tired of seeing.
This is my haunted hometown-western Fujian.
