Qiu Si (Prose)

I haven't heard enough cicadas, and when I turn around, summer has become a story; I haven't felt the pleasure of "water-cooled melons are sweet and trees are shady". Looking back, autumn has become a landscape, and the four seasons of nature are so beautiful and unexpected. After summer, autumn stretched out her long arms and blushed and said, "I'm coming, please take care of me!" " "

In fact, autumn is just the opposite. How do humans take care of autumn? It is autumn, with its broad mind, breathing out the essence of heaven and earth, and dedicating the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers and numerous fruits to all living things.

Autumn is the most anticipated Mid-Autumn Festival. After work, people shake off their fatigue, enjoy flowers and the moon in autumn scenery, taste cakes and look forward to reunion, and look up at the sky, giving birth to infinite reverie and longing. With it, people have more hope and wait, and mankind has more peace and progress. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the climax and soul of autumn and the most beautiful scenery in autumn!

Autumn is miserable. Autumn is sometimes too much like Lin Daiyu in a dream of red mansions. She is sentimental and always cries. It rains intermittently, sometimes for a day or two, an autumn rain and a cold. Although the rain has stopped, her perineum sometimes looks calm and uncomfortable. Everything has a spirit, what's more, China has said "after autumn" and "after autumn" since ancient times, which has increased people's sense of sadness about autumn. Perhaps autumn is the peak of the four seasons, just like the golden age of life. It always follows the natural law of "old things are sad, rich things are killed". Yes, more than 2,000 years ago, Lao Tzu put forward a clever conclusion in the Tao Te Ching: "If things are strong, they will grow old, which means that there is no way, and the road will last for a long time." In autumn, especially at the end of autumn, after the baptism of autumn rain and autumn wind, the grass changes color, the trees fall leaves, insects sing and everything dies. At this time, if you catch up with your relatives and friends and stay away from them, there will always be "grass turns green again in spring, but ah, my friend prince, what about you?" ? "Good expectations. Therefore, for many years, "Autumn leaves Su Wu, cold water sends Jing Ke" has become a tragic landscape commented by later generations.

When it comes to autumn, we can't help but talk about the autumn harvest uprising, in which "the autumn harvest season is cloudy and there is a riot with a bang." 1927 After the failure of the Great Revolution, the China Producers' Party determined the general policy of carrying out agrarian revolution and armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries, initially formed the strategic idea of encircling cities from rural areas, and successfully embarked on the correct road of establishing revolutionary base areas in rural areas and preserving and developing revolutionary forces. Since then, the Hunan-Jiangxi border has set off an autumn storm. Without solemn and stirring, there is no sublimity. Without solemn and stirring, where can the Chinese nation have today's glory? This sad autumn is great!

Autumn is silent. After experiencing the innocence of spring and the impetuousness of summer, autumn gradually matures after learning the lessons of the former. Although there are many fruits, they are shyly hidden under the green leaves, reserved, reserved, silent and silently dedicated. Even if no one is in charge, he will die and not occupy the branch. It never adds burden to the branches of the trunk, and always turns into spring mud to protect flowers with gratitude.

Tao is nature, so is man. With the passage of time, the growth of age and the accumulation of experience, when you step into the boundary of "knowing destiny", you suddenly look back: you were young, struggled, failed and succeeded, and running all the way was bitter and sweet, ridiculous and deplorable, remarkable, like smoke and fog, and dreamlike. At this point, open the calendar and look in the mirror. "Bold trees, dark stars". Ruthless years make people old, and life should be simplified. We should be as silent and simple as autumn fruits, let nature take its course and be happy with it. Choosing silence means choosing silence, loneliness, self-discipline, cleanliness and happiness. Don't say, don't argue, don't explain, let time test everything. This is not because I have no ability to get along with others, but because I am not interested in participating with others. "People's taste is pure joy", which may be the most tasteful life!

When everything is arranged in autumn, the earth becomes desolate and all life is silent. At this time, only an unyielding soul can blow the horn of life: "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" Sow autumn seeds in the thick and silent soil, and greet the next round of life with warm and powerful hands!
