Excerpts from the original text:
I love flowers, so I also love planting flowers. I didn't become an expert in flower cultivation because I didn't have time to study and experiment. I only regard growing flowers as a pleasure in my life. I don't care about the size of the flowers. As long as they bloom, I am happy. In my small yard, summer is full of flowers and plants, so kittens have to go upstairs to play, and there is no playground for them on the ground.
Although there are many flowers, there are no exotic flowers and grasses. Precious flowers and plants are not easy to feed, and it is sad to see a good peanut die of illness. The climate in Beijing is not suitable for growing flowers. It is cold in winter and windy in spring. Summer is either dry or it rains cats and dogs. Autumn is the best, but there will be sudden frost. In this climate, I have no ability to feed the beautiful flowers in the south. So I only raise some flowers and plants that are easy to live and can struggle on their own.
Extended data writing background:
The article "Raising Flowers" is an essay written by Mr. Lao She to newspapers and periodicals on 1956, which was published in the February issue of 1956+02 of Literature and Art Daily. After liberation, Lao She no longer needed vases. He has a small garden.
1950, Lao She moved into a small quadrangle in Beijing. Since then, Lao She and his wife have raised chrysanthemums in the yard, with more than 300 plants 100. Every autumn, flowers are in full bloom, so we can hold a small chrysanthemum exhibition. This is the scene mentioned in Lao She's famous work "Raising Flowers".
He is too beautiful, too kind and too fond of beautiful things. He was sad to see a good flower die of illness; Rescuing flowers and plants in the wind and rain, I was so tired that my back ached and my legs ached, and I was so hot that I felt unspeakable fun; He even thanked the flowers and plants because they gave him happiness ... The love for beautiful things revealed in his prose originated from Lao She's beautiful heart.
The first image created by literary creation is the author's own image. Creation is to open your heart to others. This is especially true of lyric prose and poetry. Only a beautiful heart can sing beautiful songs. The cultivation of art is inseparable from the cultivation of personality. That's what Lu You meant when he said that the kung fu of writing poetry was outside poetry.
The title of this essay is "Growing Flowers", and there is no place in the whole essay that leaves growing flowers. However, between the lines, I heard another voice of the author: "How interesting life is! How wonderful life is! Isn't it true that you can't raise a flower without working? " It is simply a hymn of life, full of love for beautiful things and life. The author just didn't mention this meaning literally, but every word contains this meaning.
Lao She (1February 3, 899-1August 24, 966), formerly known as Shu Qingchun, is a famous modern writer and an outstanding language master. Lao She is known as "people's artist". Manchu is a red flag man and a Beijinger.
The pen name Lao She was originally used in the novel Lao Zhang's Philosophy. Other pen names include Qingqing, Yu Yu, Feizi and Hongse. China is a modern novelist, dramatist and famous writer. Lao She has many works, including Camel Xiangzi, Four Generations under One roof, Teahouse and so on.
Among his famous sayings are: I am a pawn in the literary and art circles. I have been practicing between my desk and stool every day for more than ten years. My pen is a gun and my blood is spilled on the paper.
The only place I can be proud of is my diligence; The pawn didn't have a general's strategy in mind, but I did everything a pawn should do. It was like this before, it is like this now, and I hope it will be like this in the future. On the day I enter the tomb, I hope someone will give me a short tablet with the inscription: A conscientious pawn in the literary and art circles will rest here.
