"Listen, it's raining!" After eight o'clock last night, when I was watching a TV series, my wife suddenly said to me.
"It's a little cold!" When I heard it, I could hear the sound of raindrops hitting the metal of the drying rack outside the window, and it sounded rhythmically! I suddenly felt a coldness surge throughout my body, and I sighed in my heart!
Get up this morning and look at the window. I saw that in Shahe Park outside the community, there were occasionally a few pedestrians walking by, all holding umbrellas. When I looked around, I felt like the new green ripples in the Shahe area. This C-shaped green blanket became fresher and tender under the washing of the new rain. "The floating water sends endless trees, and the rain clouds bury half of the mountain." This is a poetic portrayal of this scene, but it also makes me feel a faint sorrow. When I think of this Qingming Festival, I have no special interest in reading books. I originally thought that I stayed in the ancient town of , Chongzhou for two days to feel the local atmosphere of the town in April, but because of the special requirements during this period, I had to stay at home.
I was originally my desire to stay at home. Drinking tea, reading, and chatting with my wife can also pass the three days! But when I saw this weather, I suddenly thought of a poem by Lu You : "The wind of pear blossoms rises in Qingming Festival, and the wanderer is looking for spring and leaves the city in half." I also think of a poem by Yan Shu : "When the swallows come, they are new, and pear blossoms lag behind Qingming Festival." They evoke my distant memories of pear blossoms...
It was the spring of 1997. I worked as a propaganda officer in the Xichang Locomotive Section, and took a cargo train from Xichang South to Puxiong . When I arrived at Xide County, Chengdu-Kun Railway, I saw the pear blossoms everywhere, occupying the terrain and blooming in full bloom, immediately gave me the urge to recite poems!
But after a moment of watching, I felt that reciting poems was too shallow. The feeling of "suddenly, like the spring breeze came, thousands of pear blossoms bloomed" could not express the emotions I wanted to express. So, after I stepped down, I immediately wrote an essay that I felt beautiful after listening to the title: "The Snow of the Pest Flower in Daliang Mountain".
Later, according to Brother Biao, Beilai was preparing to shoot my essay in the year! Twenty-five years have passed, and I still think about the visual feast I suddenly encountered, and remember the beauty of time... Now I think about it, in my more than thirty-year prose creation career, this prose is one of the few prose chapters that I am still excited about!
However, the pear blossoms are deserted. In my memory, when I was short of food and clothing in my childhood, I always couldn’t live without the cold and desolation whenever I saw the pear blossoms in my hometown. In front of me, listening to the sound of rain and looking at Great Chengdu in the vast misty rain, a kind of sadness surged in my heart.
But this sadness cannot be described in my writing! Think about the poems of Lu You and Yan Shu again! Lu Shi said, "The pear blossoms are rising and the wind is rising, and the lyrics of Yan Ci said, "The pear blossoms are falling behind the Qingming Festival". I think the time when the flowers bloomed by Fangweng is inconsistent with what Tongshu said, and it is at least half a month apart.
In my memory, every Qingming Festival, pear blossoms, apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, and other flowers that "flooded in April of the world" bloom and fail, or "sliced into mud and crushed into dust". It is estimated that the time seen by Lu Fangweng must not be in our southwest and the Central Plains of Yan Tongshu , but in the Qingming Festival in April of the northern country.
Fang Weng was born in 1125 AD and died in 1210. His poetry activities were mainly in the early stages of the Southern Song Dynasty. Tongshu was born in 991 and died in 1127. His poetry activities were mainly in the late stages of the Northern Song Dynasty. The time was similar. Is it because they encountered the difference in seasons and time differences, and the time difference in pear blossoms bloomed? Of course, this is just my guess and cannot be tested. Fang Weng's poem says, "Riding a donkey into the sword gate in the drizzle", and he also worked as an official in Sichuan.
Yan Shu was several times happier than Lu You in life. Lu You gained a lot of money in literature, but was very disappointed in politics. As for Yan Shu, although he was the prime minister, he was not very politically concerned. He was not guilty of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty (1125), but he could not escape any connection.Weng Lu was determined to restore the Central Plains all his life, and his poems were full of sorrow and anger. I even like Yan's lyrics that "the language is concise, plain and charming, clear and harmonious, writing about wealth but not vulgarity, and writing about erotic but not frivolous". It is not as special as Lu You's poems and Xin Qiji's lyrics, which use "removing the book bag"!
This Qingming Festival, which was originally cold and clear, seems even clearer and colder due to the special mood of the special period. In the morning, I sat in the study and silently remembered me for more than 50 years. I and Zhiming, gwen , Hong Li and other mentors, their voices, appearances, smiles and appearances were still so kind as yesterday, which made me unable to help shed a few lines of clear tears...
