Osmanthus flowers bloom on the swing
Text/Chen Lan
Today is the third solar term after the beginning of autumn, white dew. It rained a little last night in the mountains, and when I woke up in the morning, the temperature on the balcony was 20 degrees Celsius. The slight wind blew the treetops on the top of Sumadang's mountain, and a quiet whisper came.

I remember that last year, Bai Lu was a sunny day. My friend and I went to visit Yanger Mountain. I wrote two five-character poems to suit the scene.
Sheep Ershan
Green leaves spread morning dew, and the morning sun is full of morning rhyme.
Village girl Shu Caixiu, boy welcomes the hometown minister.
The winding path leads to the distant and the clear spring is light.
The geese are scattered in the empty mountains, and I first waited to hear the cicadas chirping.
Autumn Real
Night rain old lotus pond, mountain wind asks the guest in peace.
The terraced fields are green and wait for ripening, and the rice ears are filled with grout.
Farmers care the most, and now the white dew is sunny.
Spring and autumn fruits are expected, but is it a good harvest?
This year, Yanger Mountain has already opened to buses, forming a beautiful tourist route with Tongluoguan, Yumuzhai, etc. I guess the joint ticket system should be formed in the near future and pushed it into the tourism market.
According to the past, I went downstairs to practice morning at about 7 o'clock in the morning. The downstairs is a dam in the locals' words, but in fact it is half a basketball court, which is very empty at this time.
I just stood still and smelled a faint fragrance. My heart was moved and I realized that it was the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Sure enough, the two osmanthus trees in the corner of the dam are 90 degrees, full of fine flowers. There are osmanthus trees on three sides around the dam. This corner is the first place on the dam to shine at the sun every day. It is not only a place where wind and energy gather, but also a place where "the trees facing the sun are prone to flowers." So we got the trend first and took the lead in blooming!
In my past years’ mountain residence essay, I wrote about the osmanthus flowers in the mountains and rivers. These little flowers rely on dense branches and leaves to pass through the spring breeze and rain, absorbing the scorching sun and heat of midsummer and early autumn. In the season when the golden wind brings coolness and the white dew first falls, they quietly bloom in a low-key manner on the hillside.
Those people whose minds and osmanthus flowers will patrol the buds on the branches early, eagerly looking forward to the first faint fragrance that is in my dreams, and experience the beauty of life when my heart and fragrance meet and reconcile!
Maybe some people say, where is there no osmanthus? Not bad, August osmanthus flowers bloom everywhere. In Wuhan, major parks have planted a large number of osmanthus flowers, especially the Hankou River Beach that I am familiar with. The tall and magnificent osmanthus trees stretch for dozens of kilometers. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers spreads across the Yangtze River. Walking by the river makes you feel intoxicated.
I remembered that on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, I sat on the ground on the north bank of the Yangtze River, watching the bright moon slowly rise from the air on the other side in the breeze of osmanthus. The moonlight is bright, sprinkling on the river surface, sparkling with waves, "The ancients did not see the moon in this time, but the moon once shined with the ancients." When I was fascinated, I had forgotten where I was.
I like this little flower that blooms silently, not ostentatious or enthusiastic, but in the silent and unmoving voice, I send the fragrance of autumn to the mountain canyon, giving it to everyone, no matter whether he is noble or ordinary, old or young. I was born in autumn. If osmanthus flowers have accompanied me through decades of life, my life has gradually grown into an osmanthus tree, it would be just right.
Now this tree grows in the Qiyue Mountain at an altitude of 1400 meters, on the Suma Dang. The osmanthus flowers blooming in this mountain, riding on the golden wind, inspire new vitality of life. This flower of life has bloomed year after year. The past cannot see the starting point, and the future cannot see the end.Everything lives in the moment of fusion of heart and fragrance!

Chinese people love osmanthus trees, love the osmanthus trees that are as indifferent as there is, warm as jade. Even the myths and legends have melted osmanthus wine into the moon. It seems that no flower among the flowers has such a dreamy and intoxicating divine power!
The first osmanthus tree was in bloom this morning. At noon, afternoon, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the osmanthus in the entire valley will bloom again and Sumadang will soon become a sea of osmanthus fragrance. The faint fragrance floats all over the world, drunken the world. (31)
