Once, I walked through a lotus pond in the rain. A pool of Lv Yun stretched and a unique red lotus stood upright.
I paused in amazement for a moment, as if I couldn't open it. I wanted to have nothing to say, but I waited for a fragrant red lotus!
The rain all over the sky is indifferent, and there is such a red lotus in the unreachable gray! Like a pile of fire about to ignite, like a can of color about to pour! I was standing in Chi Pan. Although I didn't want to get the moon, I almost slipped.
Isn't life just a rain? You used to exult in ignorance, you used to ponder in obsession-but more often, you have to endure cold and humidity, helplessness and loneliness, and have to live in the fantasy of sunny days.
However, look at that red lotus, how can you only care about yourself and not forget me in the rain? When there is no sunshine, it is sunshine itself! When there is no joy, it is joy itself! What a perfect self-sufficient world there is in a flower!
A pool of green, a pool of silent songs, on the unremarkable roadside in the country-is there truth only in philosophy books? Only the institute has the answer? How many virtues beyond the image have been drawn by a simple He Yu, and how many centuries of pride have been supported by a slender green leaf!
If there is a load in the pool and a load in my heart, what will happen in the long rainy season?

Throughout the ages, it is difficult to count lotus flowers as words. Although Yu He is not long, it is novel in conception. "When there is no sunshine, it is sunshine itself. When there is no joy, it is joy itself! " In just two sentences, "Lotus" is endowed with an independent and consistent peace of mind. This mentality is what people often say: "Do not disgrace your mission, just look at the flowers in front of the pavilion; I have no intention of staying, and I am covered in clouds. "An unparalleled spiritual realm.
In this paper, life is compared to a rain, and the hardships of life are described as "unreachable gray". People must "endure cold and humidity, helplessness and loneliness, and live with the illusion of sunny days." And red-violet is like "a pile of fire that is about to ignite, like a can of color that is about to dump!" " "This fire ignited the hope of life, and this color was painted with the color of life. It means that there is also a positive and optimistic side in the gray life.
At the end of the article, it reveals the "beauty and goodness outside the image" of lotus. "A slender green leaf has supported the pride of centuries!" It is the finishing touch of this article, and it is also the finishing touch of this article.
Lotus pond moonlight
I'm very upset these days. Sitting in the yard enjoying the cool tonight, I suddenly remembered the lotus pond I walked through every day. It should look different under the light of this full moon. The moon rises gradually, and the children's laughter on the road outside the wall can no longer be heard; My wife is patting and skipping in the room, humming a sleeping song in a daze. I slipped on a big shirt and ran out the door.
Along the lotus pond, there is a winding little cinder road. This is a secluded road; Few people walk during the day, and it is lonely at night. There are many trees around the lotus pond, which is very sad. On one side of the road, there are some willows and some trees with unknown names. On a moonless night, the road is gloomy and a little scary. It's fine tonight, although the moonlight is still very weak.
I was the only one on the road, walking behind my back. This world seems to be mine; I also like to go beyond my usual self and go to another world. I love excitement and peace; Like to live in groups, like to be alone. Just like tonight, under this boundless moon, a person thinks about everything and thinks nothing, and feels like a free person. What must be done and said during the day can be ignored now. This is the beauty of being alone, and I will enjoy the boundless moonlight with lotus fragrance.
On the winding lotus pond, I look forward to the leaves of Tian Tian. The leaves are high out of the water, like an elegant dancer's skirt. Among the layers of leaves, some white flowers are scattered, some bloom gracefully, and some bloom shyly; Like a pearl, like a star in the blue sky, like a beauty who just took a bath. The breeze blew, sending wisps of fragrance, like a faint song on a tall building in the distance. At this time, the leaves and flowers also trembled slightly, like lightning, passing through the lotus pond in an instant. The leaves are close side by side, so there are clear wave marks. Below the leaves is the running water of the pulse (mi), which is covered and can't see some colors; Leaves are more exposed to the wind.
Moonlight, like running water, falls quietly on this leaf and flower. A thin layer of blue mist floats in the lotus pond. Leaves and flowers seem to have been washed in milk; Like a dream in a sarong. Although it is a full moon, there are faint clouds in the sky, so it can't shine; But I think this is just a benefit-deep sleep is indispensable, and nap is unique. Moonlight shines through the trees, and the bushes at the height cast uneven and mottled shadows, which are as steep as ghosts; The sparse shadows of curved willows seem to be painted on lotus leaves. The moonlight in the pond is uneven; Light and shadow have a harmonious melody, such as a famous song played by Van Gogh Ling.
Around the lotus pond, there are trees far and near, and willows are the most. These trees surround a lotus pond; Only on one side of the path, there are some gaps, which seem to be reserved for moonlight. An example of the color of trees is cloudy, which at first glance looks like a cloud of smoke; But the abundance of willows can be recognized in the smoke. There are distant mountains on the treetops, just a little careless. There are still one or two lamps leaking through the cracks in the tree. What is listless is the eyes of those who are sleepy. At this time, the most lively are cicadas in the tree and frogs in the water; But the excitement is theirs. I have nothing.
I suddenly remembered the matter of picking lotus. Lotus picking is an ancient custom in the south of the Yangtze River. It seems to have a long history, but it flourished in the Six Dynasties. You can get a rough idea from this poem. Lotus pickers are teenage girls, swinging boats and singing bright songs. Needless to say, there are many lotus pickers. It was a lively season and a romantic season. Emperor Liang Yuan put it well in "Lotus Picking Fu":
Therefore, the demon Yuan (yuán) is female, and she is willing to row; The snipe (y √) makes the first Xu Hui and passes the feather cup; Zhào can move, but algae can hang, and the ship can move and sail. Erqi slim waist bundle element, Yan Gubu; After the spring in long summer, the young leaves blossom early, and they are afraid to touch the petticoats when laughing, but afraid to tilt the boat when picking (jū).
It can be seen that there were wandering scenes at that time. This is really interesting, but unfortunately we are not happy now.
Later, I remembered, the sentence in "Xizhou Song":
Lotus is picked in autumn in Nantang, and the lotus is over the head; With his head down, he fiddled with the lotus seeds in the water, which were as green as the lake.
If there are lotus pickers tonight, the lotus here will be considered "over the top"; There are only some shadows of running water. This makes me really miss Jiangnan.
Thinking like this, I suddenly looked up and felt that it was my own door; Gently pushed the door in, there was no sound, and my wife had slept for a long time.

1. Enjoy the scenery description
The characteristic of the scenery description in this paper lies in the ingenious combination of lotus pond and moonlight description. The lotus pond is the lotus pond under the moon; Moonlight is the moonlight on the lotus pond, which highlights the beauty of elegance, obscurity and quietness. The fourth and fifth paragraphs can best reflect this beauty. Such as: "among the layers of leaves, some white flowers are dotted sporadically, some bloom gracefully and some bloom shyly;" Like a pearl, like a star in the blue sky, like a beauty who just took a bath. The breeze blew, bringing a faint fragrance, like a faint song on a distant high building. "This paragraph is not about the moon, but there are moons everywhere. Lotus leaves and lotus flowers all have strange brilliance in the dim moonlight. Compare the blooming and budding white flowers to "pearls" and "stars", and write the beauty of lotus from two aspects: color and brilliance. Write the continuous fragrance of lotus flowers, conveyed by the breeze, as if it were a song floating in the distance, intermittent and unpredictable. This feeling of elegance and remoteness can only be felt when you are alone on a moonlit night. For example, in noisy days, you will never feel this way. Lotus fragrance was originally an olfactory image, but the author compared it to "the faint singing on the far floor" and transformed it into an auditory image. This writing method of transforming one sensory image into another is called "synaesthesia" or "synaesthesia" in rhetoric. Using this rhetorical method, readers can be inspired to have a broader and deeper imagination and association, so as to understand the ideological content and artistic realm of the works from their own life experience and cultural accomplishment. Another example: "Moonlight is like running water, quietly pouring on this leaf and flower. A thin layer of blue mist floats in the lotus pond. Leaves and flowers seem to have been washed in milk; It's like a dream covered with gauze. "Put lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the moonlight, and the word' diarrhea' gives people a vivid feeling of milky white; A word "gone with the wind" shows the ethereal and gentle appearance of lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the moonlight. By describing the tranquility of leaves and flowers, the author sets off the hazy softness of moonlight. Another example is: "The moonlight passes through the treetops, and the bushes in the heights cast jagged shadows, and the waiting for a while is like ghosts; The sparse shadows of curved willows are like paintings on lotus leaves. "Write' shadow' and' beautiful shadow' here, or write moonlight, because the shadow is produced by the moonlight on the object. The shadows of the trees are bright and dark, and the moonlight is faint. Moonlight is difficult to describe, but the author writes moonlight from different angles through different scenery, so that the difficult scenery is in front of him.
2. Grasp the thoughts and feelings of the article
The article begins with "I'm very uneasy these days", and the following is related to this restless mood everywhere: the road is lonely; The moonlight on the ground is faint, and the clouds in the sky are also faint; "An example of tree color is cloudy"; Hearing the lively cicadas and frogs, I thought, "Liveliness is theirs, I have nothing"; Thinking of the grand occasion of ancient lotus picking, I expressed the feeling that "this made me miss Jiangnan at last", and I was dissatisfied with the reality and had to return. A faint sadness enveloped the full text.
However, the author's feelings are complicated, accompanied by "faint sadness" and "faint joy". At the beginning of the article, "it suddenly occurred to me that the lotus pond I walk through every day should look different under the full moon", indicating that the author wants to get rid of his melancholy mood and go to the lotus pond happily; Along the path of the lotus pond, the past is gloomy, "it's sunny tonight", so I calm down and think that I am a "free man"; When he arrived in the lotus pond, he was truly free for the time being, his heart was tied to the beautiful scenery, and the feeling of happiness was sudden; From enjoying the scenery to thousands of years, I think of the "lively season" and "romantic season" when the ancients picked lotus. It can be seen that "light joy" also enveloped the full text.
The most direct and concentrated expression of the author's thoughts and feelings is the inner monologue in the third paragraph. This long monologue is a transition from fidgeting to enjoying the moonlight in the lotus pond, expressing the conflict between the author's spiritual world and the outside world and his desire to get rid of this conflict. The author's state of mind, in such a beautiful environment as the lotus pond under the moon, shows an aesthetic feeling of mixed sadness and joy.
In short, sorrow and joy go hand in hand: I long for happiness in sadness and am led by sadness in happiness. They are two aspects of the author's contradictory mentality changes when watching the scenery. But the inner fluctuation is not ups and downs, but restraint, and the expression of emotions is mild (he claims to be a "neutral"), which is the expression of the so-called "neutrality" of "not being angry and self-defeating, mourning but not hurting". Therefore, both sadness and joy are "faint".
There have always been many different understandings about the theme of this article and the author's writing intention.
Some people think that this article is the author's sentimental landscape work, expressing a cold and profound realm and expressing a bleak state of mind; Some people think that this article is a lyric work by borrowing scenery to express the author's melancholy mood; Some people think that it shows the author's appreciation of the natural beauty of the lotus pond under the moon, his restraint and leisure mood in his personal world; Some people think that it is not the author's escape from reality, but the author's anger at reality; Some people think that it shows dissatisfaction with the realization of darkness and yearning for a better life. These are too numerous to mention.
3. Taste exquisite language
The language in this article is simple and elegant, accurate, vivid and poetic.
The language of Zhu Ziqing's prose has always been simple and beautiful. He strives for "truth", "truth is nature" (on realism and picturesque) and "returning to simplicity" (modern poetry), and thinks that "excessive decoration leads to a gloomy truth" is not desirable. He doesn't use beautiful, old and uncommon words to carve and describe things, but expresses various emotions in an understatement. However, it is not simple, but a clever, dexterous, agile and ingenious combination. It is often based on the feeling of sudden trigger, coupled with rich imagination, things flash by and bring readers into a picturesque realm. As far as this article is concerned, the author does not need heavy ink, but draws light ink. Appropriate use of some colorful words, but more metaphors, to stimulate readers' association and imagination, so that the picture color is light and thick. If you write a static lotus, you can use three metaphors: "like a pearl", which means that the flower is crystal clear in the faint moonlight; Like Stars in the Blue Sky is about flowers swaying against the green leaves. "Like a Beauty Just Showing Bath" is to write about the beauty of lotus flowers without touching dust. There is nothing strange about these words, but they have special artistic charm when used in the context of this article, which accurately and vividly shows the aesthetic characteristics of this place, this scene and this thing. Moreover, the word "moonlight pours quietly on this leaf and flower like running water" is also very common, but the modifier "quietly" is used to accurately and vividly write that moonlight pours like running water, but it is silent and quiet. Another example is "running water with pulse under the leaves", which means to express affection silently with eyes or actions, and to write running water here, but it seems to have affection silently. They are embedded in sentences, not as painstaking as they are, but they are very expressive. Others, such as writing lotus leaves with "de" and writing lights with "leakage", are all language skills that the author is very familiar with.
This paper uses more than 30 overlapping words, which not only vividly depicts the scene before us, but also has a kind of phonological beauty. Lush, far and near, high and low green trees, faint distant mountains, winding lotus ponds, slender lotus flowers, lingering fragrance, quiet flowers and leaves, and thin blue fog not only strengthen the semantics, but also make the language stretch and the rhyme harmonious.
Nostalgia in spring
Spring must be like this: from the foot of the castle peak, a handful of snow can't hold on, with a splash, the cold face turns into a painted face, and a song is sung from the clouds to the foothills, from the foothills to the low and desolate villages, to the hedgerows, to the yellow webbed ducklings and to the soft and soluble spring mud.
So charming, so sensitive, but so chaotic. A thunder can make clouds cry all over the sky for no reason, and a cuckoo cry can make a city full of azaleas. When a gust of wind rises, every willow tree will sing a white, empty, inexplicable and inaudible fly. Every fly is a semicolon of a willow. Anyway, spring is so unreasonable and illogical, but it can still be good and calm.
Spring must be like this: the dead stems covered with dark leaves and flowers in the pond cling to an old root, and the roof beams of thousands of families in the north are harassed by wind, bullying and snow, gently embracing an empty bird's nest. Then, suddenly, one day, peach blossoms captured the water profiles of all the mountain villages. Willow trees control the royal ditch and the folk river head-the spring water is like Julian Waghann with a clear-cut flag, which is beautiful because of long-term pious prayer.
As for the name of spring, there must have been such a story: before the Book of Songs, before the Historical Records and before the characterization of Cang Xie, a lamb suddenly felt juicy when eating grass, a child suddenly felt soaring when flying a kite, a pair of legs suffering from wind pain suddenly felt comfortable, and Qian Qian suddenly felt the blood of water when washing yarn by the river.
Birds can start measuring the sky again. Some are responsible for measuring the blue of the sky, some are responsible for measuring the transparency of the sky, and some are responsible for measuring the height and depth of the sky with those wings. Not all birds are excellent mathematicians. They chattered and counted, looked around, and finally dared not publish statistics.
As for all the flowers, they have been given to the butterfly to count. Give all the pistils to the bees for cataloging. All the trees were ruined by the wind. Leave the wind to the old wind chimes in front of the eaves to remember and inquire one by one.
Spring must be like this, or, somewhere, is it still like this? Through the black forest of chimneys, I want to visit the spring wandering in the distant years.
Make an appreciative comment
Through a series of images about spring, spring's nostalgia for the past makes spring full of vitality. After careful reading, we will find that almost every sentence in the text uses appropriate rhetorical devices. For example, in the first paragraph of the article, although there is only a short sentence, it uses four artistic techniques: personification, parallelism, overlapping sentences and metaphor, and melts feelings into the scenery, which is natural. In the following paragraphs, personification, parallelism, repetition, metaphor, contrast, synaesthesia, association and other techniques also emerge one after another. "Peach blossoms have captured the water profile of the mountain village." "Birds can start measuring the sky again. Some are responsible for measuring the blue of the sky, some are responsible for measuring the transparency of the sky, and some are responsible for measuring the height and depth of the sky with those wings. " All the flowers were given to butterflies to count. Give all the pistils to the bees for cataloging. All the trees were ruined by the wind. Leave the wind to the old wind chimes in front of the eaves to remember and inquire one by one. "... the author compares the indescribable image of spring in nature with the image and posture that people can perceive, giving readers vivid feelings.
Looking at the full text, we can find that the author repeated the sentence "Spring must be like this" at the beginning of the paragraph three times in the process of writing. This sentence is like a silk thread, which skillfully connects other languages such as Zhuyu, making this article clear and fully embodies the characteristics of prose "scattered in form, condensed in spirit"
At the same time, in this article, we can also feel the author's "unconstrained style" and "flowing" writing ideas.
In the first paragraph, the brushwork is like a smooth arc, natural, smooth and clean, just like meticulous painting, but from "yellow duckling" to "dissolving spring mud", it suddenly becomes a splash painting.
Spring has come, which is not only gentle but also full of vigor and vitality. Even some "barbarism", "Making white clouds cry all over the sky", "Fighting for a city of azaleas" and "Raising catkins flying all over the sky" are her representative works. There is a saying: "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" Full of expectations for spring. So once spring really comes, people's mood will be as excited, excited and unbearable as winning the battle! When explaining to us, the author gave full play to the wonderful use of personification rhetoric: provocation, fighting, unreasonable trouble, illogical, perseverance, holding, falling, control and so on. This makes spring look like a vivid barbarism and hegemony before our eyes.
When writing an article, imagination is the soul, and articles that have no imagination or can't make readers "extrapolate" are not good articles. The author links the tongue-twisting pronunciation of "spring" with "whistle", thus opening up the scene where people first created the word. Although this is not the case, it makes readers feel very novel and appropriate. As for the busyness of "birds", "butterflies", "bees" and "wind chimes" in spring, it fully shows the author's whimsy and ingenious mind.
However, if the article only stays in the leisure sketch in spring, it can only be regarded as a masterpiece and cannot be called a beautiful article. Let's look at the topic "Missing in Spring". Let's look at the last paragraph of the article, "Through the black forest of chimneys, I want to visit the spring that lingers in the distant years." After reading this, we can understand that the aesthetic spring described by the above author is a classical spring that the author thinks must be like this, but the reality is mostly "black forest of chimneys and chimneys" However, in the face of the ferocious face of the black forest, the author is not used to being numb or depressed, but is very firm in his belief that "spring must be like this, or where will it be like this?" Infected by the author's words and her persistent beliefs, our hearts can't help but sublimate and want to go with the author to "visit the spring that lingers in the distant years."
