Youth only comes from the second day of writing 1 "Life is not everywhere, youth just comes from it. Moss flowers are as small as rice and open like peony. " This poem by Yuan Mei in Qing Dynasty suddenly appeared repeatedly in QQ circle of friends recently.
It turned out that this little poem nearly 300 years ago, played by a rural teacher and sung by a group of children in mountainous areas of Guizhou, appeared on the stage of a TV program and touched many people.
Why are we moving?
In the video, the simple melody is catchy, the natural children's voice is beautiful, and the red face is lovable, but the more important reason may be that the interpretation of classic poems and the stories behind them triggered people's singing, reflecting a more common situation and spirit that we face together.
For many people, this poem is so moving because children see themselves who were once weak but have been struggling. "Do you remember why you sang Moss?" "Because we must be brave and open like peonies." This is a question and answer between a village teacher, Liang Jun, and his children. In fact, it also reflects the experience of many people when they were young: they grew up quietly in a secret and ordinary way, as inconspicuous as moss, but with a peony-like posture and blooming their own style.
The poet Mu Dan once wrote, "I only know that all my efforts are just the completion of an ordinary life." To be fair, quite a few people do not have extraordinary talents and endowments. "At first, it depends" are ordinary people and small people. From the external environment, not every parent can provide superior living conditions for their children, not everyone can receive the best education in big cities, and not everyone has social resources to borrow; From the perspective of personal talent, not everyone has a starting point for genius. In this sense, "God never shuts one door but he opens another" is an objective situation. Just like the song "You and I are all mortals", under the constraints of subjective and objective conditions, we often have to temporarily accept the setting that we are ordinary people.
Nevertheless, it is a common phenomenon that "youth has just arrived" and the value of equality in life is realized through personal struggle. Some time ago, the "ice boy" in Yunnan braved the cold weather and dangerous mountain roads to go to school, which was very popular on the Internet. Many netizens said, "We used to be icemen." During the Spring Festival, I returned to the former site of my father's rural school. Simple facilities, overgrown weeds and faded decorative paintings in the window make me sigh that my parents' youth is so lacking in material things. However, although they are still ordinary today, they have realized the value of life in their own way. "Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." We are also experiencing the youth that our fathers fought for. Qian Qian is the greatest among ordinary people. If you are born with moss, you will have your own bright spot.
Youth only begins with writing the second day of junior high school. Although moss is as small as rice, it also blooms like peony. The significance of youth lies in blooming yourself, bravely surpassing the natural attributes of self, pursuing the inner transcendence of life and living the spiritual attributes of life.
The poem Moss tells that although moss grows out of the sun and is so small, it will still have green and life in spring. Although moss is as small as a grain of rice, it also learns to open peony proudly. Because in the heart of moss, there is the same land as peony, and there is also a vast sky overhead. Unknown flowers, quietly blooming, unobtrusive, and no one applauded. Even so, it is still so persistent and open, and seriously blooms its most beautiful moments to the world without reservation. Therefore, this is the most desirable situation in our life.
I once watched such a video, which mainly talked about the life of a teacher and children in Wumeng Mountain. The teacher wrote a poem with the poem "Moss". He also said, "I am also a mountain dweller. I am neither the most handsome nor the best. Just like moss in a wet corner, people can't see it, but if you zoom in with a microscope, you will see it. This video made the judges cry, which moved millions of people in China at this moment. The teacher wants to tell the children in the mountains through this poem, "even if we don't have the most, we can bloom like peony." "In fact, no matter where the child is, it is the same. You can find the value of life and wait for it to bloom.
There is a line in the poem: "You are an indispensable piece in the puzzle." Suddenly the tip of the nose is sour. Yes, everyone in the world is indispensable. Although the earth turns without you, it is no longer complete without you. Even if each of us is small, even so small that the world can't feel it, only by putting each small piece together can we form a beautiful puzzle!
Youth has just come. Yes, the moss in the wet corner can be full of confidence and take the initiative to bloom itself, and so can we. In life, we should bloom ourselves like this moss!
Yuan Mei was a famous poet and essayist in Qing Dynasty. Although he was also an official in the DPRK, and his achievements were remarkable, people talked about his poems. I accidentally read one of his poems "Moss", and I couldn't help but be extremely happy: "The day is not everywhere, and youth has just arrived. Moss flowers are as small as rice and open like peony. " A few numbers, but profound. A word of moss tells the poet's mood and ambition.
Moss is the least noticeable plant. Most of them grow in dark corners and grow silently. There is no tall and beautiful appearance, no grandstanding posture, and the harsh environment remains silent. Spring tides are hot in summer, dry in autumn and cold in winter, so they grow green. Moss is showing its youth, which comes from its indomitable vitality. How "youth has just arrived", this is Moss's safe posture, which has created a miracle.
No one will pay attention to whether moss will bloom or not, and whether there will be the most brilliant moment in life. Because its flowers are very small, as small as rice grains, but it is trying to bloom, because only when it blooms will there be seeds and endless life. Although humble, it also has its self-esteem and pride. Peony is noble, but it grows under the care of people, while moss proves the power of life and shows the meaning of existence.
I like the phrase "youth has just arrived" best. Even a small moss has its own youth, silently accepting everything, just for the unexpected glory. And people need this attitude towards life all their lives, even if they are in trouble, they will not sell themselves short.
Looking back on yourself, I have been doing nothing for half my life. When I was young, I was playful. After I got married, I was busy around my family, work and children. Life is calm, it's a pity to think about the persistence of moss. A person's life is really a flick of a finger, so he wasted his life, and his heart was unwilling. My youth is gone, but there is a surge of youth in my heart, that is, I want to "learn from peony".
I believe in the word marriage. Four years ago, I regained my hobby when I was young-writing. It sounds incredible that people learn from scratch when they reach middle age. But I did it. I didn't give up. I failed again and again. The best thing in my life is to put aside a lot of distractions in these four years. Middle age opens the light of hope, which I couldn't imagine before. What if youth is gone? My flower of hope is also blooming, and it still exudes a strong fragrance. I can't help but smile when I read the sentence "Youth has just arrived".
I like the poem Moss. The situation of life will not be dominated by us, but will advance or retreat. Is unknown, or calmly and deliberately waiting, waiting for the day when flowers bloom. I believe that as long as you are willing, no matter when it is not too late to start, you can "just come to youth".
Youth begins from the second day of junior high school. Youth is an era of struggle, sweating, flying dreams and laying the foundation for future life.
People often say that youth is like the rising sun in the morning, and its future is still unknown, but I say that youth is a summer that can't be returned, a sun that can't be basked in and cicadas that can't be heard, a playground that can't be bypassed, sweat that can't be brushed off, homework that can't be written, and ancient poems that can't be recited. It is the struggle of the senior high school entrance examination, the painstaking book of self-study in the evening, and the warm words in the composition book.
Shakespeare once said, "Youth is a short dream. When you wake up, it has disappeared without a trace. "
Yes, maybe we are still young, but when we really grow up, we will gradually find that youth is the brotherhood of that year, the parting with classmates who have been together for several years, and the fact that we study late into the night with a flashlight in the dormitory.
I remember my father often mentioned his college career to me. As a monitor, he leads his classmates to study and exercise together. On weekends and holidays, he will lead them to sing and camp in the forest park ... Every time I talk about this, my father's mouth will turn up, and I can feel his happiness when he was young. His youth is full of vigor and passion.
Youth can never stop the progress of time, and time can never cover up the recklessness of youth.
We often say that youth is irreversible water, which disappears in the blink of an eye. Youth is to let down easily with reckless efforts, get hurt silently, and grow up in hindsight. Not all efforts will be rewarded immediately. When you can't get good grades through repeated efforts, the inner suffering tells you to give up. The voice of reason says that you have given up all the right to choose now, so you dry your tears and choose to fight again. Even if the head is broken, we must struggle in the quagmire of hard work and find a new exit.
I remember my calligraphy teacher often said to me, "Be kind to yourself." To tell the truth, I didn't understand it very well at that time, but as I grew older, I understood the meaning of these five words more and more deeply. Everything I do now is to pave the way for myself in the future, but many people understand this truth, but few can really put it into action.
When we are young, we have our own independent judgment and wisdom, which can be used in learning and benefit for life.
May you enjoy the beauty in this stumbling trip, and your youth has just arrived!
