Catch the autumn scenery

A sudden cold current killed the entire city. Fortunately, the day before the arrival of the cold air, I caught the tail of autumn. That day, the weather was sunny and warm, a bit like rain. During this time, the rain has been very attentive, keeping the whole city refreshed every day. The coldness of late autumn, because of the fresh air and the freshness of evergreen plants after the rain, gives the feeling of continuous spring rain.

There are many beautiful roads in Yangzhou. I think Yanfu Road is the best way to appreciate autumn scenery. Both sides of Yanfu Road have been planted with ginkgo that Yangzhou people are proud of. In autumn, every leaf of ginkgo will become golden and bright. And on both sides of Yanfu Road, it is decorated with gorgeous and gorgeous decoration, as if clothes were made of gold. Of course, the yellow here is not monotonous. Because of the difference in the time and position of each tree to receive sunlight, it is more or less different. These differences are the levels, and the different heights are scattered together with the different yellows. This road, in autumn, occupies the leader of the style. Close to the side of the Xiaoqinhuai River, all kinds of trees keep the youth unchanged, cheering for the ginkgo autumn.

On this road, walking slowly alone is the rest of the heart. The two walked together without any dissonance. It is inherently beautiful, just like Ning Xin'er swaying the autumn scenery for a year. The ginkgo trees here have no vicissitudes of life, only youthfulness. One by one they straightened their bodies, even if they were full of fruits. On Wenchang Road, beside the stone pagoda, even the old ginkgo plants planted in the depths of the courtyard show the same golden color in the same period. It's just that there are too many winds and frosts in those ancient lives. That kind of yellow makes people feel bad. In the publicity of their life, there is an indescribable twilight!

Some people say that Yanfu Road is the most charming road in Yangzhou. On both sides of this road, there are Shangdong and Zhunti Temple. There are also many handicraft shops such as Lacquerware Jade Factory and a few plum blossoms in Shigong Temple and the distant memory of Tianning Temple by the Royal Dock, Qianlong, a replica of today's people, shuttles in the clear blue water. "The silhouette of Yixiang is too hurried." In front of the Xiangying Gallery, although the ancient poets could not sing wine freely and easily. The exquisite buns should not change much. These sceneries built with years and red men and green women are similar in ancient and modern times.

Across the thin river, the Hongyuan Flower and Tree Market, there are always endless crowds and endless fragrance of birds and flowers. Citrus plants with numerous fruits are full of temptation. Can the green plants hanging in the air be so green after tomorrow's cold wave?

This afternoon, I not only strolled along Yanfu Road but also went to Changchun Road to see Metasequoia. The sun shone on the treetops, a slanting sun, and the afterglow was long. Of course, sunshine is my imagination. In the cloudy weather, it seems that it has been a long time since I saw the sun patronizing.

I will walk all the quiet roads in my mind. After making a circle, we reached Huaihai Road again. The road was once very narrow, but there were tall plane trees. Nowadays, the road has widened a lot, and Platanus is still there. Platanus in late autumn is another style. Their leaves seemed to have withered, but they did not fall. They were still on the branches, waiting for the message of spring. Across the road, the tall plane trees seemed to be holding hands, signing an alliance treaty in the air.

If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Reading is A Low-Cost Noble

The Hangzhou Library allows vagrant people to read inside. The only requirement is to wash their hands.

Some citizens could not accept it. Curator Chu Shuqing said: "I have no right to refuse them to study, but you have the right to leave."

It is a good thing full of positive energy, and some citizens can not accept it. I think those citizens who can not accept it must be scholars otherwise they would not express their attitude so clearly. But I do not understand, since you are a scholar, why can not you accept homeless people to study together? Human beings have a consensus that reading is a noble pursuit. Reading is not defined by any specific group of people. The more homeless people are, the more they live the low life. The more people who want to study should have the desire to learn.

My daughter is in the fourth grade of elementary school, and the school held an on-site composition competition. As a result, it was a quiet third-grade girl who won first place. It made my daughter quite unconvinced. This competition is the topic of scene-You are the most beautiful in my heart. She wrote about Ding Ling in the Yan An period and wrote about a woman who was still noble in the difficult years of war. The essay is smooth and beautiful in language, rigorous in structure and perspective. According to habitual thinking, the teachers in the Chinese group guessed that this little girl should come from a scholarly family or a particularly wealthy family, with a large collection of books and very knowledgeable parents. When the teacher asked her, she replied: "My father is a laid-off worker in an electronics factory. Now there is a small shop doing home appliance repairs, and my mother is a staff member of a housekeeping service company."

There are not many collections of books at home. Reading is benefited from an accidental harvest of a mother. It turned out that when the mother was cleaning up a family, the owner of this family sorted out several old books and arranged for her to sell the books together with a bundle of old newspapers. A mother who had no culture but inexplicably loved books, she was not willing but asked the employer to give it to her daughter. Among several books, there is Ding Ling's Sun Shines on the Sanggan River. The girl read again and again with the book, completely integrating herself into Ding Ling's inner world.

The language of her composition is fluent, the structure is rigorous, and the point of view is bright, just because she has read a book thoroughly.

There hired a new cleaner in the new village where I live. A young woman from the countryside is here to accompany a child with congenital cerebral palsy to do physiotherapy. By the way, she works to earn some money, and she usually wears dirty clothes.

There is a bookstore near my home. I often drop by for a stroll and occasionally buy a book. One time,  when I was in the most remote corner of the bookstore, I suddenly saw this young woman who dressed in a clean and beautiful dress, holding a thick fairy tale eloquently and vividly reading to the child with a low voice, and the child listened carefully. They two fully immersed in the beautiful story. I stopped by them for a long time, but they did not know me.

This woman who gives books to children is a noble mother, and her hard life will not overwhelm her.

I also had this kind of reading experience when I was a child. When I was most eager to read in elementary school, there was no book to read at home. At that time, there was an old book stand in a small town five or six miles away from home. There was a complete set of comics like The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Journey to the West. You can sit there and read at a time. You can not take it away. At that time, I often sat there and read until the sun slanting west. Now, I feel that many of my basic knowledge of history still benefited from reading at that time.

Reading is a low-cost noble behavior. The Hangzhou Library is open to homeless people. It is to respect their noble right; to ask for handwashing is to cherish the noble book. As for citizens who do not welcome homeless people, I think the curator’s words reveal the nobility that this library should have:  whether the readers are local tyrants or homeless people, it is the real nobility of a city to promote reading for all and read more.

Fall in love with travel

I am a person who likes to travel.

When I was a teenager, on a sunny summer day, I put on clean clothes, rode on the only bicycle in the house, and said to my grandma: "I am going to travel." Grandma smiled and escorted me out of the house  to say: "Don't get lost."

Ride aimlessly along the country road. I am emotionally humming the ballad, and my heart is full of pride, all the way north, all the way to the end of the field until there is no road ahead.

In front of me is a high earth mountain, and the slopes are full of trees, weeds, and colorful flowers. I walked leisurely on the hillside, and suddenly I stumbled and looked at a stone. I thought it is a gem that God gave me. I picked it up carefully and observed it, and found that it was no different from an ordinary stone. I threw the stone into the distance in disappointment. Where the stone fell, a hare suddenly started and fled in panic.  It is also good to catch a hare and take it home. I chased in the direction where the hare was escaping and ran a long way in vain, but the hare eventually disappeared from my sight.

I was tired, so I lay on the hillside and watched the blue sky and white clouds, watching the butterflies flying, listening to the wind blowing over the treetops, listening to the birds and insects. It felt so good. Is this what people call travel?

When I grew up, I have been to many places, and I have been to various famous scenic spots, and I have been on a shopping spree in the bustling foreign land. I was exhausted with large bags. I participated in a lot, but I couldn't find the joy of traveling. After thinking hard, I finally realized that what I want to travel to is: a person, a backpack, a casual dress, and a good mood, walking through the rainy alleys in the south of the Yangtze River, through the Mongolian grasslands, and thousands of mountains.

If you fall in love with traveling, you must read some books first. The landscapes are similar. The most fascinating thing is the humanities, customs, and habits behind the scenery and the stories in the history that have moved us. If it's just the Sahara Desert with yellow sand, I would never want to go, because I have read Sahara in Sanmao pen, know the crying camel, and know the story of the big boy Jose. The Sanmao complex has turned the desolate and barren Sahara Desert into a place that I dream of.  

I fell in love with travel, and I fell in love with the phrase "read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." Let the soul and body keep walking on the road of pursuit and exploration.

Yongcheng-- a beautiful city forever

If you come to Yongcheng, I will accompany you to travel to Mount Mang in Yongcheng. There are many places of interest here. Let us take a look at Fuzi Mountain, where Confucius sheltered from the rain, and then sit on the bookstore on the mountain. Do you know that I am familiar with the scenic spots and historical sites of Mount Mang because I worked there?

Tell you, I am an authentic descendant of Liu Bang, and Han Gaozu is our ancestor of the Liu family.

If you come to Yongcheng, let us see the tombs of King Liang Xiao and Ling Xiao’s wife. The two caves connected. They cut the mountains to form an outline. They are huge and magnificent, like a blurred underground palace. We want to feel the mysterious atmosphere inside.

If you come to Yongcheng, we will also go to another cave to see the murals, to admire the amazing vermilion bird, dragon pattern, and flying sky. Then we went hand in hand to the Niangniang Temple on the top of the mountain and silently made many wishes in the temple like those good men and women.

If you come to Yongcheng, I will tell you that Yongcheng is a beautiful city forever, and Yongcheng is the "land of Hanxing," "energy city," "flour city," and "ecological city" these are four bright films of our Yongcheng. Yongcheng has an outstanding population and countless tourists come to visit it every day.

If you come to Yongcheng, we will go to the Development Plaza in Dongcheng District to take a look at the landscaping here, and then enjoy the beautiful musical fountain. We buy two bunches of candied haws, sit on the benches, and eat and watch the casual and fashionable people from Yongcheng. Then I will sing for you a city song of Yongcheng [Forever Beautiful City] so that you will always remember how bright this "Pearl of East Henan" is.

If you come to Yongcheng, we must go boating in Shanghe City, where the green waves are rippling and the tourists are like clouds. We don’t need to master the steering wheel, let the boat rippling with the waves, even if we touch the boat with others, the splash hit their clothes. The other party has to apologize to us instead, do you know why? Because the people of Yongcheng talk about civilization most, Yongcheng is a country of etiquette.

Although the weather is now November, the willow leaves are still green and the tung leaves are green. Do you know why this is? Because Yongcheng is a treasuring land of geomantic omen, it has plenty of sunlight and water.

 The Butterfly Spring

When traveling to Dali, there is one place you can not help but visit, and that is the famous Butterfly Spring Park, which is like a crystal clear gem embedded in thousands of green shades. With the spread of the film "Five Golden Flowers," which reflects the cultural life of the Bai people, the bizarre natural landscape of Butterfly Spring is even more famous at home and abroad.

The beautiful butterfly spring is a place where people can relieve the burden of the soul and make people dream. The water of Butterfly Spring is the melted snow water from Yunnong Peak of Cangshan Mountain, which soaks from the cracked sand layer. The water quality is particularly clean. Albizia trees grow by the spring. When it blooms in early April, the petals open like butterflies during the day, and the petals close together at night to exude a burst of tangy fragrance.

Every year in March and April of the lunar calendar, a variety of exotic flowers and grasses bloom in the mountains. The unique aromatic tree species such as Albizia and Pistacia by the spring exude an elegant fragrance, attracting thousands of butterflies to fly from all directions. Come, gather, and dance around the spring.

These butterflies are as big as a palm and as small as a copper coin. They dance among the gorgeous camellia, rhododendrons, and other flowers and grass or frolic on the heads of visitors with blooming branches. There are countless colorful butterflies on the albizia tree, which only hook each other. The feet, linked end to end, form a long string hanging on the surface of the water. Under the sunshine of spring, they are colorful and colorful, quite magnificent. 

April 15th is designated by the Bai people as the "Butterfly Meeting" every year. In the case of fine weather, it will be an unprecedented event. Not only the number of butterflies is large, but there are also many species. During the butterfly festival, flowers and butterflies dance together, and the butterflies and flowers are gorgeous. The poet vividly praised butterflies as "flying flowers" and flowers as "still butterflies." It can be said to be true and false, and it is a great wonder of Butterfly Spring.

Butterfly Spring is not always the wonder of butterflies flying. If you miss the butterfly fair by accident, do not regret it. The newly built butterfly pavilion south of the butterfly spring truly reproduces the ecology, species, and butterfly culture related to butterflies at the butterfly spring and is provided for tourists who cannot visit the butterfly fair, to understand the precious information about the wonders of Butterfly Spring.

 

In recent years, the spring water rushing from the Butterfly Spring has been cherished by the park managers and has accumulated three large pools, each of which is as clear as a mirror, adding a beautiful landscape to the Butterfly Spring Park.

It is a pity: In the past decade or so, it has been difficult for people to see the beautiful butterfly event. Although sometimes there are butterflies gathered, the number is not as good as before. It can not help but sigh. 

The reason: the main reason is the destruction of the surrounding natural environment, the extensive use of pesticides in the fields, accidentally injuring many butterflies, and the spectacle that even the hooks and feet hang over the spring has been long gone. It seems that only by earnestly studying the laws of butterfly growth, strengthening the protection of the natural environment, and striving to maintain ecological balance can the fascinating butterfly event be restored and flourished.

The interesting things in my life

Every day, around everyone, funny stories are happening. I will share some funny things with you.

Fun fact 1

In the morning, I was brushing my teeth, and gg walked behind me and looked at himself in the mirror. Suddenly, gg asked me, "My wife, I'm still handsome, am I not?" I smiled disapprovingly. So, he began to judge himself: "Heavy eyebrows,"  "Big Eyes,"  I waited for him to continue to be stinky, but he finally said: "Rabbit teeth." Laughing over me, almost vomiting bubbles.

Fun fact 2

At night, when I just lay down to sleep, I suddenly felt thirsty and didn't want to get out of bed to pour water, so I said aloud: "Thirsty~thirsty~thirsty." gg rolled over, ignored me, and replied: "It's useless to call. If you were thirsty 3-years ago, I will immediately go down and pour water for you; after 3-years, don't even think about it." I continued yelling: " Thirsty, thirsty, thirsty!" After a few seconds, gg finally couldn't help with it, and obediently got out of bed and poured water. When the water glass brought to my side, I kept smiling proudly in my heart. 3-years, 30 years, you are not allowed to change~~~

Fun fact 3

When I woke up in the morning, gg suddenly said to me: "You started talking in sleep last night." I was surprised: "Really? What did I say?" gg thought for a while: "It seems to say that some equipment has not arrived and cannot be measured temporarily. "I was shocked. Dizzy, dare to feel too much pressure at work during this time, even dreaming and working.

 Face life, smile to life

If life is the sea, then desires are like tides.

Being alive, one cannot live without desire, just as the ocean cannot but high tide, this is a natural law. If the world had no desire, they would not be interested in anything, would lack enthusiasm, lack of input, lack of pursuit, what a pale picture of life would be. The crux of the problem lies in how people grasp the scale of their desires. When there are high tides and low tides, it is advisable not to let desire overflow.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing wealth and possessing money. So, how rich is it to be rich, and how much money is enough? There is probably no fixed uniform standard. A calm life must grasp the "horizontal" and "vertical" lines of desire.

The so-called "horizontal" line draws a horizontal line starting from one's wealth. It can see that there are many people above and below the horizontal line. It's a better position to compare yourself with inadequate and more than below. Because life is the sea, high and low waves are purely natural, just as people's wealth can never be on the same level. The so-called "vertical" line is to draw an ascending line starting from the low point in one's previous life. As this line rises, it can indicate the degree of gradual improvement of one's living standards. You should feel gratified, fulfilled, and satisfied with this.

However, many people in life don't want to do this. They never look back suddenly, do not compare with their past, but blindly climb with others. Therefore, the tide of desire only rises and does not fall, and it rises one after another. For the sake of wealth and enjoyment, he treats life and others

unscrupulously so that the tide of desire rushes through the dam of reason, harming society, harming others, and harming himself.

Everything in the world has its laws, which can not violate like spring flowers and autumn fruits. Wise people let the tide of desire go up and down and never go offside. Ignorant people have an intense wildness to wealth and always wanting to let the tide of desire only rise and fall, never sober. People with these two mentalities have to pick fruits from the tree of life. Those with a degree may taste more sweetness of success, while those who are offside will taste some bitterness that is difficult to swallow. 

Moderate desire is profit, and excessive desire is harmful. In life, we should not let the tide of desire rush away from the dam of reason. Only in this way can we avoid detours and shed tears of regret. Refreshing and calm, laughing to life is also a high degree of happiness.

 A Funny Thing During the Journey

Under the sunlight, the sea is shimmering, and in the distance, the sea and the sky are the same color. Seagulls are flying freely in the blue sky, but the unfathomable sea water is clear and visible. This Maldivian seascape is worthy of the name!

Our speedboat floats on the calm sea. At that time, we had just returned to the boat after snorkeling, and we still remembered the beautiful scenery of the seabed: hordes of clownfish shuttled through the crevices of corals, and more of them were unnamed fish species in colorful and strange shapes. Against the backdrop of the coral, it is even more dazzling, like a strange light under the sea! The sea in the Maldives is the same, the sky is endless, and the seabed is colorful. Just separated by a layer of the sea, it presents the natural scenery of the two schools with entirely different styles.

Looking at the boundless sea, I saw waves of ripples on the distant sea, followed by the coolness brought by the sea breeze. The wind started to rise on the sea, and the speedboat speeded up. Although the wet body wrapped in a towel, I still felt a little bit of chill, and I could only hope to get to the shore soon.

The speedboat was still in the middle of the sea, but suddenly it started to slow down. It drove towards a group of tourists. I looked at the speedboat driver in shock (suspectingly) and saw the driver turning to the tourists who were standing on the coral to take pictures in English. Shouted, "Come down, you can not stand on the coral." The tourists glanced at the driver and had to get off the coral. I asked the driver why he could not step on the coral, and he said, "After stepping on the coral, the coral will die!” That's it. They love the sea, protect the ecology of the sea, and care about all the creatures in the sea. The afterglow of the sun sprinkled on the sea, the water is sparkling against the strapping figure of the driver, and the qualities of the Maldivian people are reflected in the golden water waves, giving the Maldives a new level of scenery. I cast admiring gazes at them and suddenly realized the reason for the beauty. After going ashore, we ate dinner at the beach.

The torch burned enthusiastically on the beach, like the Maldivian people love and care for their environment, warm and enthusiastic.

After the meal, I walked on the beach and listened to the white waves. Tap the delicate beach and enjoy the coldness of the sea spilling over my toes. The distant lighthouse began to tell its unique story and endless beauty. Staring at the sea again is another kind of appreciation at this time. Because the scene on the speedboat has fixed in my mind, and the brackish sea breeze cannot blow away.
