Prose on the Lantern Festival 1: Reflections on the Lantern Festival, a spiritual festival.
For the legendary beautiful scenery, I took my camera and tripod and hula straight to Blue Bay.
Blue Harbor, a bustling commercial center, has such a romantic and casual name. I have heard of it many times, but I have never approached it. Today, when I see its beauty, it becomes so elegant and affectionate.
Compared with the traditional shopping center, the blue sky and white clouds here have replaced the ceiling, the garden-like streets are wide and narrow, the unique European architecture, the comfortable open shopping environment and the oncoming foreign tourists make people feel like they are in a foreign country at once.
The best thing is the music fountain in the central square. With the elegant jazz, the flowing water always makes people feel bright.
Of course, the lake view in the southeast is also good. Standing on the iron bridge across the river, looking at the thin water mist on the ice and the sparse jungle in the distance, everything is like a fairyland. The scene will precipitate in an instant, even if you are confused and upset. I can't believe it. Beijing will have such a good place!
Coinciding with the Lantern Festival, shopping malls, squares, cinemas and bar streets are crowded everywhere, and eyes pass by, and handsome guys and beautiful women abound. There are also photographers with long guns and short guns gathered here, or clustered around, or alone in a room, forming a beautiful landscape.
Aim at the couple holding hands and holding flowers in the noisy street, aim at the affection of the table in the restaurant, no matter the light, composition, or the best time and angle to shoot, pick up the camera and press it, and it will stop when it is soft.
I wandered around the castle unconsciously, and the snow on the tunnel was getting bigger and bigger, which was a little slippery. You should walk carefully. Next to the willow tree, the branches are swaying gently in the wind, and the top is covered with exquisite decorative lights.
Next to her, an elder sister with glasses walked thoughtfully. Suddenly, she pointed to a Chinese knot on the stone wall and said, look there, shoot from here. Sounds a little excited. I was stunned, just a stone wall and an ordinary red Chinese knot. Is it worth making a fuss about? Big sister smiled faintly: it looks good when you shoot it, and beautiful things are always found inadvertently. There is confidence and sincerity in elder sister's tone.
I didn't say anything, just smiled and took photos according to her words. My greatest advantage is that I am obedient and listen to experienced women, especially those who are experienced and beautiful. Upload it to the computer at home, and the result is the best.
Finally, I became soft, but some people said that night was the most attractive moment in Blue Bay, so I began to wait quietly.
Just after six o'clock in the evening, all the lights in Blue Harbor were turned on at the same time. The sky is like a colorful net, full of colorful flowers. The stars bloom their beauty in an instant and walk in the night, just like a dream. At this time, I hope a meteor flows by, so that I can make a quiet wish.
On both sides of the gate, the branches are covered with lanterns, the lights are swaying and the trees are swaying, which makes the originally indifferent season full of vitality and adds a warm holiday style. Suddenly, I found that the moon tonight is very different from previous years, just like a beautiful jade plate, hanging alone in the lonely sky of Liao country, shedding a refreshing glow, seeing the moon and thinking about people, more thoughts will come to mind.
Blue harbor, there is a cool breeze and bright moon, wandering under the moon, but I can't find the trace of my hometown. The lamp of hometown is on the island, Iraqis invite the bright moon, and the reflection of river wind is an unforgettable sadness, which is always hidden in the deepest part of my heart. No matter where you go, it is a bright dream in your heart.
I'm not saying how good my hometown is, but I can't forget it. There are some things that some people still seem to feel that they are not old, but in the time that is gone forever, they inadvertently lost their youth. The good old days are still there, and the good old people are busy at this time. ...
Lantern Festival has been the most poetic and soul-destroying moment since ancient times, with willow tips on the moon and people meeting at dusk. Intoxicated in this poetic story, the ancients are like this, the present people are like this, men and women are like this, and so are white-haired people. No one can escape.
The world is always changing, looking back and looking forward, the world of mortals is rolling, the old age is approaching, and there are thousands of tender feelings, but who are you touching? Infinite melancholy, condensed into a melancholy mood, turned into a sigh, this feeling is endless, but I missed my youth!
In the colorful ink sky arranged in the street square, the bright moon is not as graceful as the moon in my hometown, and I feel a little homesick. In fact, I know that it is more about thinking about people.
February was in a hurry, and it was noon before you knew it. I quietly enjoy my years, watching others' natural and unrestrained, live high's calm. However, in the precipitation of time and the beating of this passage, I will always recall the warmth of the past.
Let nature take its course, the moon is full of rain and shine, people have joys and sorrows, and no matter how hesitant they are, they should live with their heads held high ... I was thinking of receiving a text message from an old friend and wishing me a happy holiday. There is also a smiling face behind it, a provocative smiling face.
Walking under a decorative tree, the vivid leaves are lavender, with a slight smile on their faces, and they are gently touched. Such scenery, such time and such silence make my heart happy.
February day, still a frozen ground, and some cold and cheerless! But happy mood can't be frozen.
So, I wrote the above words ...
Lantern Festival Prose 2: I remember the Lantern Festival for more than two months, but recalling the situation that day, some feelings seem to ferment in my subconscious, and these days are expanding more and more.
I have been in H city for five or six years. Every Lantern Festival, it's better to be alone in a foreign land, or to attend some work banquets, or to join the family banquet of eldest brother and sister-in-law, or to raise a glass and drink alone than nothing. These are nothing, but this year's Lantern Festival seems to be particularly lively, and in that kind of excitement, it seems to be enjoying something, and the mood is unconsciously complicated.
At the end of work that afternoon, my sister-in-law called me and said that she could drive her car to the hotel for the Lantern Festival after work. As in previous years, I naturally went with pleasure. I have been living in my eldest brother's old house for the past year or two. They have moved out for several years, but there are still some delicious white wines stored in the old house, such as ten or twenty years of aging. That day, before I went to the restaurant with my eldest sister-in-law, she drove to the old house and took a box of 20-year-old wine to prepare the banquet.
When I arrived at the hotel, my eldest brother was already there, but I saw more people from my eldest sister's family, such as her eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, and children. It is estimated that there are at least twenty, which has almost become their big family gathering. Before the banquet began, the conversation, the waiter's order and the children's shouts were linked together, which was a lively and noisy scene. On the other hand, I am the only one here. My brother went back to his hometown years ago. At that moment, we seemed very lonely and deserted. This reminds me that when my eldest brother and my eldest sister-in-law got married 20 years ago, my parents spent almost all the money in the family because they provided for our brothers to go to school for a long time. The house is empty, so I am the only one representing my eldest brother. Fortunately, however, eldest sister-in-law seems to understand this situation.
In fact, when I got married (one year earlier than my eldest brother), my eldest brother was the only one who represented us at my wedding. However, I know that the combination of two people is actually a family with two people behind it, and only when the two families have the same population can one be lively and the other lonely, or one is strong and the other is weak. These are asymmetrical, which will naturally form an unequal scene.
I was lost in thought, and I don't know when firecrackers sounded outside the hotel. That kind of sound, one after another, appeared in the busy streets, and firecrackers filled the whole city because of the smell of smoke from the explosion. Our party has finally started.
After three rounds of wine, everyone relaxed and pushed for a change, which was much more lively than before. Because I always don't like to talk much, and I'm sick, and I'm afraid of drinking and so on, so I have to be a one-man show. Seeing that scene, Big Brother seemed ready to respond, but when I stole a look at him, I always felt that Big Brother was a little tired. His helplessness and loneliness seemed to be hidden in my heart, but it was not exposed. But eldest brother has seen some scenes, and his control of the overall situation is still very measured. Drinking continued, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but in a short time, eldest brother suddenly stood up and announced that today is not only a party in the festival, but also the 47th birthday of eldest sister-in-law. So, everyone raised their glasses to the eldest sister-in-law, and the scene was even more cheering. Some sent flowers to her sister-in-law, and some took pictures of her, which made her happier. At that moment, she should be the happiest woman in the world.
Yes, eldest sister-in-law is happy. Although she is almost fifty years old, judging from her face, she is not yet forty years old. I am happy for them from the bottom of my heart. Over the years, she has done a lot for her eldest brother, her family and even the whole family, but her eldest sister-in-law is always positive, tolerant and optimistic. Brother, it's not easy either. After he was the first in the village to be admitted to the university, he went to the far north alone, first teaching in the school, and then to the provincial government, occupying an important position, and was regarded as one of the successful people. Although eldest sister-in-law has many family members, eldest brother has the highest prestige among them. In a way, it is also balanced. But sometimes, I always feel that big brother is still lonely. I wonder if he feels this way. In the past ten years, the decline of his hometown, the early death of his father and the impermanence of his brothers should have some influence on him. As the eldest brother, his responsibilities and obligations often make him feel a little embarrassed and lonely, but how many people know this? This Lantern Festival, eldest brother took pains to get everyone together, which can be regarded as making up for something, and also arranged the birthday of his eldest sister-in-law. At that moment, I thought a lot, not easy to miss my eldest brother, the prosperity of my eldest sister-in-law's family and myself. I am alone outside, time goes by, my hair is dyed, but my loyalty and filial piety are not complete, which is really difficult. My wife also has a birthday this year. Because I was not at home, she didn't even mention it. She really doesn't know how to spend her birthday. ...
Lantern Festival has passed, but some fragments of those memories hit my heart from time to time, a little disappointed and a little grateful, so I recalled it in bits and pieces just to remember it. But I think loneliness and affection can be perfectly combined through lively scenes, which are beautiful and warm anyway.
