First, the answer: "Planting Flowers" Through the writer's practice of planting flowers, I personally realized the fun of planting flowers. There are joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, flowers and fruits, and fragrant colors. It requires both labor and long knowledge. Expressed the author's thoughts and feelings of loving life and labor.
Second, 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, when there are flowers and plants in summer, all the kittens go to play in the house, and there is no playground for them on the ground [1].
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 flower fall ill and die. The climate in Beijing is not suitable for growing flowers. Winter is cold, spring is windy, and summer is either drought or rainstorm; Autumn is the best, but suddenly there will be 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.
However, although flowers and plants will struggle on their own, most of them will die if I leave them to their own devices. I take care of them every day and care for them like a good friend. One to two, I touched some doorways: some like shade, not in the sun; Some people like to do it, so don't water it too much. It's fun, touch the doorway, feed the flowers and plants, live for three to five years, blossom and bear fruit. How interesting! Not nonsense, but knowledge! It must not be a bad thing to gain more knowledge.
I don't have leg disease. Not only can I walk badly, but I can't sit for a long time. I didn't know I took care of the flowers and plants, but I didn't thank them. I can thank them. I always write dozens of words when I work, so I go to the yard to have a look, water the tree, move the pot, then write a little more when I go back to the house, and then go out. This kind of circulation makes mental work and physical work combine into one, which is beneficial to the body and mind and better than taking medicine. If you catch a storm or the weather changes suddenly, you have to mobilize the whole family to save flowers and plants, which is very nervous. Hundreds of potted flowers should be rushed to the house, which makes people ache all over and sweat. The next day, the weather was fine, the flowers were going to move out, and the backache and leg pain came again, and I broke out in a sweat. However, how interesting it is! Isn't it true that you can't keep a flower alive without working?
The milkman praised "good smell" as soon as he entered the door! This makes our whole family very proud. When epiphyllum blooms, a few friends come to see it, which is even more delicious-epiphyllum always blooms at night. Flowers are divided into roots, one tree is divided into several trees, and some are sent to friends; I am naturally happy to see my friends take away the fruits of their labor.
Of course, there are times of sadness, such as this summer. Three hundred chrysanthemum seedlings were still on the ground (not moved into the pot), and the wall next door fell down in the rainstorm, killing more than 30 species and more than 100 chrysanthemum seedlings. The whole family hasn't laughed for days.
There are joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, flowers and fruits, and fragrant colors. It requires both labor and knowledge, which is the fun of growing flowers.
Third, appreciate:
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, we 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 has never mentioned this meaning, but every word contains it.
This article is full of charm because of its meaning and rhythm.
Where does this moral come from? It comes from the author's heart, it is the author's voice.
If Mr. Lao She didn't really love his new life so much, if he didn't have such a kind and beautiful heart, he wouldn't have made such a hint.
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.
So 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.
"Raising Flowers" is written naturally and smoothly, as if it were said casually in front of friends, as if a clear spring flowed naturally, with no traces of knives and axes.
