When we arrived at " Quyuan Fenghe ", it was already afternoon. Amidst the chirping of cicadas, the midsummer sun shines brightly and is so dazzling. During this time, there are quite a few people coming to see the lotus. They must all come to find a place to cool off.
The lotuses in Quyuan are planted along the lakeside. There is a large circle here and a whole piece there. Looking from the lakeshore, the green leaves and pink lotus are particularly elegant against the beautiful water of the lake. In front of Shuiyue Corridor, there were several tourists holding "long guns and cannons" taking pictures. I walked over and took a look. The lotuses here looked so good!
"There are only green lotuses and red lotuses, which can be opened and closed freely." The lotus leaves in the fields are like green umbrellas held up, high and low, crowded together. The lotus flowers are not in full bloom yet, and several pink lotus flowers emerge from the green umbrellas. Some shyly reveal half of their pink faces, some spread their petals generously, and the small yellow lotus pods look towards you playfully. More of them still show their sharp horns.
At this time, there was wind blowing over the lake, and the lotus leaves like green rain were rolling, the lotus flowers were swaying, and the fragrance of lotus came faintly. Suddenly, there were many lotus appreciators on the lakeshore holding mobile phones. People admired and pointed, and the silence on the lake in the afternoon was broken. A few little wild ducks must have emerged from under the water-loving lotus leaves. They were not afraid of life and were swimming leisurely on the lake. They seemed to be enjoying the charm of the lotus, smelling the fragrance and listening to the lotus breeze. As for the lotus, the petiole stands freely, the lotus leaf opens comfortably, the lotus smiles quietly, and the little bud is also concentrating on itself. They are indifferent to the blazing sun, the wandering wild ducks, the enthusiastic tourists, and the Shi Shi Ran summer wind. The pink petals and emerald green leaves convey to us a touching tranquility.
For a moment, the tourists taking photos on the shore were just walking around gently, with pious eyes, choosing the best angle to take pictures. The lotus appreciators standing beside them were also looking at the lotus quietly with their eyebrows relaxed, and those in groups of three and three were looking at the lotus. The little wild ducks also seemed to be infected by this Yahe. They stopped paddling and actually floated on the lake with their eyes slightly closed. The summer wind is gentle, and all things feel cool in their hearts. This is the cool lotus breeze, which is the most refreshing.
Walking along the lakeshore, you can see lotuses everywhere, both near and far away. The eyes of people appreciating lotus are joyful. They are all looking for the most beautiful afternoon lotus in their hearts, right? I couldn't help but think of that midsummer afternoon more than ten years ago, in Quyuan, when I first saw Fen He, whom I had been fascinated by for many years. The amazement, the emotion, the excitement are still vivid in my mind. Because I was in a hurry, I didn’t bring my camera, so I couldn’t capture the most beautiful pictures of the lotus at the afternoon of Quyuan. I stared wide-eyed, looked at it for a long time, and looked at it carefully, leaving in my heart the four bright words "Lian Lian Feng He" and a short poem filled with the fragrance of lotus. It was from that midsummer afternoon in that year that I felt inexplicably moved by "Tinghe" and fell deeply in love with it. I like He’s pictures, I like He’s articles, I like He’s poems. Every class I have taught has a name that is full of lotus fragrance: Qinghe Squadron. And my little friends, they have also become blossoming Han 菏 Linshui photos.
Walking and looking, the landscape of Quyuan is very moving. The lotus everywhere, the lotus everywhere, the green reeds, the blue-purple pickerel like lavender, are all long. In the waters best suited to it. Although water lilies are also peaceful and carefree, although the pickerel grass is also elegant and infinite, my eyes are still looking for the heart-beating lotus shadow.
Following the winding path and walking across Hongqiao, I saw the shadows of several lotus plants in the distance. I quickened my pace and approached, and at that moment, my heart was "shuddering". What a wonderful load! But in a quiet corner, I didn't even hear the cicadas chirping, and the little wild ducks were nowhere to be seen. Where were the dragonflies? Not seen either. But the color of the lotus leaves on each petiole is as emerald green as washed with water, like ink rendered in shades, the swollen flower bones are like soft pink hair, and the stretched petals exude the light and refreshing fragrance of lotus.
"A bunch of lotus plants grow in the pond, and the wind in front of the threshold brings fragrance." This lotus plant, dressed in pink and green skirt, brings fragrance and heartfelt words to the water. A clear lotus knows life. In a noisy place, be neither arrogant nor arrogant. Keep a clear and peaceful place, and be tranquil all over.When you are alone, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, plump the lotus root, plump the lotus heart, let the flowers bloom and fade, and feel free and worry-free. At this moment, quietly, watch the wind lift the lotuses one by one, and listen to the light lotus breeze. Deep in my heart, the bell of Qingliang Temple is ringing slowly...
You need to lean on the railing and listen to this lotus breeze. Listen to its heart, listen to its soul, and listen to its Zen words: carefree, true and pure.
