Writing Poems on Lotus with Years —— Lin Qingxuan
Passing through Baihe Town in Tainan County that day was like suddenly drinking a glass of cold honey water in summer, which was cold and sweet.
(2) Baihe Town is a magical place. It is the largest lotus planting area in the province. Walking in the alley and wandering in the fields, you will see a large beautiful lotus field at the corner. Those carefully cultivated lotus flowers seem to be naturally generated and have no shame in the beauty of the earth, especially in summer.
(3) When I went, it happened to be the harvest season of lotus seeds, and all the families who planted lotus seeds were busy. Adults and children all went to the lotus field to pick lotus seeds. For those of us who only sigh after seeing the beautiful appearance of lotus, Shui Yuan doesn't know how hard the family who planted lotus seeds worked to maintain a pool of lotus seeds and make it blossom and bear fruit.
(4) "The setting sun is slanting, and the evening wind is floating. Let's sing the lotus picking song. Red flowers are bright, white flowers are charming, and the face is fragrant to eliminate wind and heat. You paddle, I pole, and you bang across the bridge. The boat is fast, the song is high, and the lotus music. " The ballad of picking lotus, which we sang when we were young, seems to be a dream in Baihe, because the people who grow lotus are not picking lotus for viewing, but lotus seeds used to maintain the family's life. There is no Lian Fang who can paddle and support the pole in the lotus field. They can only step on it step by step.
⑤ The time for picking lotus is when the sun just comes out in the morning or when the sun is about to set at dusk. Lotus pickers carried bamboo baskets and hats one by one, waded into shallow mud, picked mature lotus leaves one by one and put them in bamboo baskets. The picked lotus seeds are dug out first, and there is a thick shell outside the lotus seeds. They should be peeled off one by one with a knife, and the crystal white lotus seeds rolled all over the floor. After the lotus seeds are peeled off, we have to pick out the lotus plums in the lotus seeds with fine needles. All this depends on dexterous handwork, and no one can be lazy, so the whole family joined the work. Empty lotus flowers can be sold to Chinese medicine shops and hung for decoration; White lotus seeds can be used to cook lotus seed soup and make many delicious dishes; Bitter lotus seeds can be used as bitter tea, which can reduce fire and refresh people.
6. I worked in Baihe Town for a day and went to see the lotus people. I don't know why I always feel that people who grow lotus flowers are like lotus seeds. On the surface, lotus is beautiful, and the landscape of lotus field is the most beautiful among all crops. However, their hard work, like lotus seeds, is bitter. The second lotus picking season is from the Dragon Boat Festival to the turn of summer and autumn in September. The lotus seeds have been collected, and the next step is to dig.
⑦ The lotus field is actually a piece of sludge. Lotus pickers should guard against the blood-sucking water frogs swimming around in the field, and the stems of the lotus are covered with thorns. Secondly, I have seen every lotus picker's trousers covered with these dense thorns, and sometimes blood stains are scraped. It is not easy to live on beautiful lotus flowers. The children rolled lotus leaves into cups and ran around the ridge of the lotus field holding lotus seeds, which made me feel that no matter how hard they harvested, they had a happy side.
Lotus is actually a lotus, which is called "Lotus" before flowering and "Lotus" after flowering and fruiting. I always feel that the two names have different meanings: the feeling of lotus is innocent, like a clean and flawless girl, while lotus is a solemn treasure, like a young woman about to give birth. Lotus is suitable for viewing and is a friend of poets and artists. Lotus brings a little bitterness of life, which is the dependence of lotus people's life. Secondly, I remember my ignorance of the lotus for many years. I only like to see the lotus from a far height and miss it. But I have never walked into the real lotus world, and I can't help feeling guilty when I look at the joys and sorrows of life behind the lotus field. Who knows how much blood and sweat it takes to have thirty lotus seeds in a lotus flower? Who knows how long it will take farmers to drink a bowl of frozen lotus seed soup in summer?
Pet-name ruby I stand on the lotus field, watching the sun shine on the lotus field, and feel that "leaving lotus leaves to listen to the rain" is probably a realm that lotus people can't enjoy, because when they leave lotus leaves, they will plant them in two fields and entangle them in the fields. We will use some ethereal and clear poems to praise the beauty of lotus leaf fields, which will never be comparable to those who planted lotus leaves with years and sweat.
