Anyone who spends winter in the north always knows how to cook tea around the stove, or eat mutton, peel peanuts and drink for nothing. However, people with stoves, warm kang and other equipment, no matter how deep the snow is outside or whether the wind is thundering, live in the house for two or three months, but it is the most severe period of seclusion in a foreign land in a year;
Needless to say, even children who like activities will always love them, because there are some fruits such as radishes and palms in the middle, and there are lively festivals such as New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival on the first day of the first month.
But in Jiangnan, it is different; After the solstice of winter, the leaves in the north and south of the river will not be stripped. Cold wind-the northwest wind blows occasionally, and it is not too cold for a day or two at most. When the gray clouds are swept away, the streets are full of fallen leaves, and the morning cream is as white as powder on a black woman's face.
Early in the morning, as soon as the sun was on the roof, birds began to sing again, releasing water vapor from the soil, allowing the old man and children to sit and chat in the gap in front of the door and camp outside. Isn't the winter scenery in Jiangnan lovely?
I grew up in Jiangnan, and my childhood impression of winter in Jiangnan is unforgettable. Although I gradually entered middle age and fell in love with late autumn, thinking that autumn is the favorite season for readers and writers, I always feel that the winter scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is a special mood, which can match the summer nights in the north. To put it more modestly, it is an obvious emotional appeal.
I have also been to Fujian and Guangdong, where I spent the winter, which was extremely warm and warm. Sometimes, at the end of the lunar calendar, I may have to take out my gauze shirt. Walking through the hedges of savages, you can see many miscellaneous autumn flowers!
After a shower and thunder, the weather cooled down; At most, I have to put on a jacket. Between Fujian and Guangdong, fur coats and cotton-padded jackets are absolutely unnecessary. This extreme southern climate is not what I call the winter scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, but Changchun in the south, which is an extension of spring or autumn.
Jiangnan has rich and humid geology, which can contain hot air and support plants; Therefore, in the Yangtze River area, reed flowers can be unbeaten until the winter solstice, and sometimes they can survive for more than three months.
Like the Chinese tallow tree on both sides of Qiantang River, the red leaves are lodging, and the branches are hung with white buds, which can be distinguished by the lens. The grass is ochre at most, and the roots are always green. Not only did the wildfire never completely engulf them, but the cold wind could not blow them down.
If you are willing to walk alone in the winter suburbs on a sunny afternoon, you will not only feel the cold when you are young, but also feel an inexplicable hidden anger under the blue sky; The poet's famous sentence "If winter comes, spring will always come at once" can only be easily understood in Shan Ye in the south of the Yangtze River.
Speaking of walking in the cold suburbs, it is really a special favor for Jiangnan residents in winter; People who grew up in the northern ice and snow have no chance to enjoy this kind of happiness all their lives.
I don't know how the winter in Germany compares with the winter in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but judging from the fact that many writers like to use the word Spaziergang as their creative theme, it is about the south of Germany, and the changes of the four seasons are always not much different from those in our south.
For example, in the 19th century, the local poet Peter Rosegger (1843- 19 18) wrote many articles on this topic, but most of his writings can be applied to the mountainous areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and China.
The rivers and ports in the south of the Yangtze River are connected, the land is close to the sea, and there are many lakes and swamps, so sometimes the air contains moisture. There will be some light rain from time to time in winter. The scene of winter rain in this cold village is an indescribable leisurely realm.
Think about it, after the autumn harvest, three or five families gathered in a small village by the river, with the door facing the long bridge and the window facing the mound in the distance, and there were many leafy trees. On this picture of the winter countryside, a layer of white rain as fine as powder is sprinkled with a light background. Do you feel free enough?
If you want more scenery, you can park a boat with a sunshade in front of the door, add a few noisy drinkers to the hut, add red and yellow when it is dark, and draw a circle on the window of the hut to indicate a halo.
When people reach this state, they will naturally be free and easy, and eventually they will lose everything and stop asking for it. We should always remember a quatrain written by a poet in the Tang Dynasty, "It rains on the river and on the village". When the poet came here, he was even polite to the greenwood peddler. What is the charm of the winter scenery in Jiangnan?
Speaking of rain, it is inevitable to think of snow: "It feels like snow outside at dusk. How about a glass of wine inside?"? ? "Nature is the snow scene at sunset in Jiangnan. "Cold sand and beautiful shadow road, Xiaoxue wine village", three friends of Xueyuemei get together on a winter night and flirt with the wine girl. "Chai Men smells dogs barking, and it returns to people in the snowy night", which is the scene after the snowy night in Jiangnan.
"In the former deep Xue Cun, a branch blossomed last night." The next morning, children in the village who like making snow like dogs came to report the scenery in the village. Not all the poets' poems are written in Jiangnan, and not all the poets who wrote these poems are from Jiangnan. But it is straightforward to forge these poems to describe the snow scene in Jiangnan, which is much better than my prose written with this stupid pen.
In a few years, there may be a winter without rain or snow in Jiangnan, and it will be a little colder in Chun Xue at the end of the lunar calendar or the beginning of February in spring. Last year's winter (1934) was like this. I'm afraid this winter will be different. According to the solar terms, the days that are too cold will end in February of 1936, and it will last for seven or eight days at most.
Winter like this is called dry winter in rural areas, which may be better for wheat harvest, but the population will be damaged; After a long drought, diphtheria, influenza and other diseases are naturally easy to get up, but those who want to enjoy the winter scenery in Jiangnan,
In this winter, you will only become happier, because there are more sunny days, and there are naturally more opportunities to stroll in the suburbs; The Japanese name is Hi-king, and the Germans name it Spaziergang madman. This is the most popular winter.
The weather outside the window is as clear as late autumn; In Gao Shuang, Wan Li, you can't sit quietly in your room because of the sunshine. Empty talk is not as good as practice. I don't want to write such boring articles any more. I'd better pick up my cane, put down my pen and paper and go for a walk on the lake!
