Most writers have their own names, titles or pen names. From ancient times to later generations, they also started to play with pen and ink in a whimsical way. Over time, they also wanted to come up with some other names. After much thought, they decided to call them "Rutten Wood", but they were questioned by their relatives and close friends even after they tried to use them.

Every name has a specific meaning, and it is more or less related to the personality, wishes and reality of the person named. The pen name of the master was Nian Shi, and after he entered the age of Jiazi, he added the word "old man". The stubborn old man has been making friends with books for most of his life. He is tenacious and almost stubborn. He would get up before dawn and start dabbling with pen and ink, which he did every day for decades. While others were sleeping sweetly, he might have already written a famous calligraphy from ancient times, or he might have completed a piece of work. The words written on the rice paper seem to have charm, and they have been respected and respected by writers for many years. Another close friend also chose a name related to stones, which means sharp edges, unique personality, and strong will. If things don't work for him, he will just let them go and succeed. For decades, his career has been smooth, his family has been harmonious, and both his career and family have been successful. When I think about the name of my best friend, and look at the achievements of my best friend, I suddenly feel that it pales in comparison. A name related to a rock is not suitable for me.

My condition at that time was that my internal organs were damaged and I no longer had the strength to bind a chicken. It happened that a beautiful and majestic tropical landscape tree outside the window had withered due to disease. It had been cut down to the ground and was rotting due to wind and rain. Weather-beaten old people are most likely to be moved by scenery. When they see a tree lying by the roadside and think of their frail body, the word "rotten wood" jumps out. A close friend said that using the name "rotten wood" as withered, dead, or even rotten gives people a lifeless image, which is neither leisurely nor enterprising, and is unacceptable. I don't think so. Rotten wood is a form of trees in the process of growing and dying. Even the Nanshan Evergreen Pine, which is thousands of years old, or the Desert Cypress Chrysanthemum, which is only a few days old, will eventually have this form. Whether you like it or not, it exists objectively. Using this form of name that people don't like very much seems to be suspicious of being new and innovative, and it also feels like going one's own way regardless of public opinions, but since it is objective, why not insist on it.

The dead wood is in various forms, just like different people telling their stories in different ways.

I have seen a rotten tree that required more than a dozen people to hold hands to surround it, standing proudly among the green trees. Its branches and leaves have long been stripped off by wind and rain, but the remaining trunk and branches have not lost their majesty. They are still tall and tall like a majestic king. Its originally evenly wrinkled bark has been peeled away by the years, and its white and translucent jade is completely exposed. Under the refraction of the sun, the sapphire-like brilliance is dotted with the surrounding green trees that bow their heads. The ground originally covered by the Crown of Rotten Trees is now covered with rot formed by its branches and leaves. The rot combines with water and seeps into the earth bit by bit to nourish the forest. The corruption covered the ground, but it could not cover up its former prosperous and prosperous historical track.

I have seen rotten trees and vibrant trees clinging tightly to each other, much like a dead husband or wife hugging each other tightly, acting out a love story that is inseparable. I have also seen Kuchiki holding on to his enemy like a fighter, with the trapped enemy slowly dying together. I also saw a rotten tree that had been uprooted. After it fell to the ground, the tree body rotted into soil, and eight small trees grew strangely side by side on the soil. I don’t know whether it is a dead tree reborn, or another tree whose seeds fell and took root in its body. But no matter what, he is like a mother carefully raising her child, and she vaguely feels that Kuchiki also has true feelings in the world.

I have also seen unfortunate rotten wood. Some were broken at the waist, and the upper half of the tree was placed in the air on many other trees, like a soldier who died heroically being carried by many people. Obviously, it was sacrificed in the battle with the wind, but its lower body is still standing upright, and new branches and buds have grown from its roots. Some rotten trees are only partially withered and dead, some are like withered legs, some are like withered hands, or some parts of the body are withered, but the remaining parts are still sprouting, sprouting, blooming and bearing fruit. I have also seen a small forest of dead trees. The dead trees in the forest are of different sizes and heights. They were not born on the same day, but they definitely died on the same day.They are either ravaged by fire or other disasters, or plagued by plague, but their bases also sprout new shoots of hope. Most rotten trees cannot regenerate, but they can slowly and slowly transform into nutrients for the forest, and live in the forest forever in this way. I have a vague feeling that rotten wood does not simply decay, but that rotten wood is also unusually tenacious.

Populus euphratica will not die for a thousand years, will not fall for a thousand years after death, and will not rot for a thousand years after falling. Some will sprout again if they encounter enough moisture after falling. Populus euphratica is a hero tree in people's minds. There are living and decayed hero trees. The living Populus euphratica forest is regarded as scenery, and the dead Populus euphratica forest is regarded as a spectacle. I have never been to the desert and have never seen Populus euphratica, but I have long heard the legend of Populus euphratica. Looking at the photos of Populus euphratica in different shapes and reading the articles praising Populus euphratica, it seems that the dead wood also has some hope.

Human beings are the most advanced animals in the world, and trees are just a type of plants. The two cannot be compared. But the two have similar mechanisms. Trees have a complete process of rooting, sprouting, blooming, bearing fruit, withering, withering, and decaying, and humans also have a similar process. The prosperity and prosperity of taking root, sprouting, blooming, and bearing fruit are beautiful, and the natural decline, withering, and decay are also beautiful. Natural aging is irresistible, and natural aging is irreproachable. Through aging, you can see past hair growth, and acknowledging aging can help delay aging. Great men will never change their character because they grow old, sick, or pass away, nor will ordinary people lose the charm they created while they were still alive because they grow old, weak, sick, or disabled until they die.
