Month, look up.
Throughout the ages, people have made too many connections between water and the moon, extending endless beauty. There is water on the moon. How close the moon is in the water! There are thousands of rivers with water above them, and so on. The inseparable feelings between Shui Yue are constantly being expressed.
Limited by science and technology, it was not until the second half of the last century that human beings were able to leave their footprints on the dust of the moon. In the past, human footsteps were always firmly bound by gravity. But imagination is never bound by gravity. In the long years, people of different races have never stopped landing on the moon and touching their minds.
China people seem to like the moon best. As early as ancient times, they arranged Chang 'e's landing on the moon on the consciousness level to protect the "blue sky and night heart". In the sea of Wang Yang in China's ancient poems, it is far from Song Yu's day to chant the bright moon. The reason is attributed to the softness of the moonlight. Of course, the change of the profit and loss of the moonlight shape gives people the inspiration of ups and downs, which is also a big factor. The affinity of the moon far exceeds that of the sun, which brings us vitality.
There is a profound joke: a mother asked her baby, "Baby, do you think the moon is better or the sun is better?" The child replied without thinking: "The moon, of course. The sun always comes out during the day. What's the use? The moon always comes out at night to take care of everyone! "
Children lack logical thinking and do not know the causal relationship between the sun, the moon and the day. It's ridiculous to answer this question. This joke is also to borrow innocence, suggesting that adults have a childlike value. Because this kind of consciousness exists more or less in the wise, otherwise why is it better to praise the moon than Japan in poetry? You can see that you prefer each other.
I thought that the ancients had this deep affection for the moon because it played a positive role in inducing missing. In ancient times, productivity was backward, traffic was blocked, information was blocked, and people who traveled far away were in a foreign land, so it was difficult for them to arrive in time. So! Naturally, the whole world regards the moon as a mirror with pliers. On the occasion of the moon, it is natural to associate relatives thousands of miles away with the moon, imagining that the moon should be full of emperors and concubines at the same time. Therefore, the literati's interest in praising the moon is naturally endless.
Due to the progress of science and technology, we are still our neighbors in heaven, homesickness is immediate, and missing is eliminated through rich communication and transportation, and then it can be transformed into longing. The moon no longer needs to bear such a heavy burden.
It is the moon.
Compared with the moon, the importance of water is more real.
If the moon and the earth parted ways. The planet we live in may change its orbit around the sun and float on another ecliptic. How will declination happen? How will life forms on earth be adjusted? It's really hard to imagine Let cosmologists solve it.
As ordinary people, we should pay more attention to water. After all, moonlight is illusory and water is indispensable to life. You should know when you are familiar with it.
People in different areas have completely different feelings about water. It's rainy and abundant in the south, sometimes it's annoying. The north is dry and the west is short of water. People cherish water like oil, but they spend a lot of effort on the acquisition and storage of water. The hardships of drying up are beyond the understanding of southerners.
For a long time, large areas in western China have been seriously short of water, and people in some areas have only three chances to take a bath in their lives, while people in southern China can enjoy the hearty and pleasure brought by bathing almost every day.
As far away as Turpan in the western regions, Yang Jiao licked the water on the surface like a flame, and the air was wringed dry, so the rain between the clouds could not drop to the ground. As a result, people turned their thirsty eyes to the white snow on the top of Tianshan Mountain, and their ancestors invented a water diversion project called Karejing.
As for Karez, I hope you have a chance to explore it, go down and listen to the sound of water coming from the dark place, and receive a profound education lesson on cherishing water. I tell you, the spring water flowing underground actually comes from the top of Tianshan Mountain hundreds of miles away.
Karez is actually an artificial culvert. Excavators hoe from the edge of the Tianshan snow line, dig a deep canal with one pick and one hoe, then build a vertical stone on the side wall of the canal, lay a slate on it, and cover it with thick soil to form a culvert. In an extremely dry environment, only culverts can cut off the greed and covet of dry air for clear water, guide the snow water in Tianshan Mountain to the grape valley, and nourish the sweet fruits.
A Karez is a step-by-step movement, and it is also a civilian epic handed down from generation to generation. Turpan used to have thousands of karez wells. Unfortunately, due to the overall decline of groundwater level, Karez is drying up, collapsing and disappearing into the wilderness at a rate of more than a dozen per year.
In fact, the thirst for water is not limited to human beings.
In distant Africa, in the Sahara desert, which is called the forbidden zone of animal life, a kind of dark beetle survived, and its tenacity was awesome. Biologists have found through in-depth research that this insect is not a particularly drought-tolerant animal. The key to its survival lies in its unique way of squeezing water out of a space with almost no water for its own survival. Biologists also use cameras to record the difficult process of pumping water for small creatures.
Only in the early hours of the morning will there be a wind with a small amount of water vapor passing by. Sisal growing on high slopes has waxy leaves. It is this kind of leaf that blocks the water vapor in the wind and condenses the water on the leaf wax in the form of tiny water droplets. Once the sun rises, the water droplets will dissipate instantly. In fact, the black beetle knows how to cherish the short gap, climb the leaves and carefully touch the water droplets with its tentacles, so that life can be maintained.
We might as well look at the survival strategy of that little creature with anthropomorphic thinking. The pathetic process of fetching water is really touching. If one day we also fall into that acre of land, who will pity us? In this way, the behavior of small animals does give us a warning.
In fact, in the northern Shaanxi Plateau, it is common for people to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads for a car full of muddy water. When there is no load, the water bearer will roar all the way, and when there is full load, they will only be accompanied by rough gasps.
On this Mid-Autumn Festival night, I am traveling in the north, which is the time when wanderers miss home during the festival. Naturally, I have to look up at the full moon in the sky. Unfortunately, there is always a layer of smog, such as gauze, which makes it impossible for me to enjoy the moon with my relatives and friends thousands of miles away.
The hazy moon in the north reminds me of the bright moon in my hometown in the south. It is said that "the foot of my bed is so bright" does not describe the bright moon in front of my bed, but the poet's feeling when he looks at the moon by the well platform, so I also think of the well in my hometown.
The well in my hometown is a vertical well, not as winding and long as the karez in Turpan. It is only a few feet deep, but it is full of water. It has been more than 600 years since our ancestors opened up the territory. The edge of the well, which was chiseled by the hard stone, has been deeply grooved by the well rope, engraved with its vicissitudes and years. The spring water is clear and sweet, just like the milk of the earth.
Steam will rise from the wellhead in the morning light in winter. At this time, the well water pumped up has a slight temperature and can be washed. After washing with well water, you don't need to paste powder, and your skin is very comfortable.
In summer, you can drink well water directly to relieve summer heat and thirst and refresh your mind.
It is that well that has nurtured many generations of villagers. A few days ago, it was found that the nitrate content in water seriously exceeded the standard, which would cause cancer and must be sealed immediately. In the past thirty years, people have used fertilizers and pesticides without restraint, and all the fertilizers and pesticides have finally returned to our mouths.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, looking up in the northland, I found that it was moonlight, and it was impossible to associate it with the white jade plate anyway. In my hometown, someone told me that the toxic substance from the blowout that nourished us today hurt the whole village.
If one day, we have to travel thousands of miles for a clear spring and a bright moon, do you have enough feet to do this?
