A breeze blew and yellow leaves fluttered in front of us. I didn't notice that a tall chestnut tree was standing on the side of the mountain, and its bark cracked and peeled off a large piece. When I touched it with my finger, the bark was flying. Looking up, the rough branches of the Li Yi tree are like a big freehand painting: straight, oblique, curved and horizontal, interspersed with each other, "writing" freely and galloping freely. In front of it, it is quiet and cold, with infinite vicissitudes and ancient meanings, and it has the momentum of inserting the butt of a rifle. "The autumn wind blows the Weihe River, and the leaves are full of Chang 'an. "Accustomed to the thinking of falling leaves in autumn, the reverse life phenomenon of falling leaves in spring makes the four seasons a bit chaotic. This season, eyes are raised, flowers are swaying and flowers are smiling; Close your eyes, the flowers are floating, and the flowers are in your heart. Deciduous trees covered with mountain roads at the foot give people a sense of sadness in autumn.
"When you are cold, you will know that the pine and cypress will wither." Since ancient times, people have special feelings for pines and cypresses. Painters paint it, poets chant it, and the public likes to watch it. Please forgive my ignorance, but I have never seen any poet sing it, any painter paints it, and the garden rarely uses it as a landscape tree. In the middle of winter, although it is not as vibrant and lush as pine and cypress; However, the leaves are dry and yellow, but they don't wither. Its yellow leaves are not as bright and shiny as ginkgo leaves, but yellow, with black spots and spots, and less aesthetic feeling, so the world rarely appreciates it. However, it also has the standard that proud snow does not die cold. The north wind is cold, and every branch of the tree has participated in the struggle. Its yellow leaves shout in the cold wind, performing the swan song of life with a swish voice, and it has an indomitable power in the face of setbacks.
In the early years, the land on the ridge of my hometown was barren and full of rocks, and even cypress trees could not be planted. Only trees can resist drought and barrenness and are covered with mountains. Castanopsis fissa is usually a shrub, which grows one by one. It will grow into a big tree only when people intentionally leave it as wood. People in my rural hometown also call the tree that grows into a big tree an oak tree. This kind of fruit is acorn. Rafter trees, which literati hate, are very popular among villagers. Branches and leaves are the best firewood for farmers to cook. Slender branches are good materials for weaving baskets. A thick rafter, hard and tough, is especially suitable for lifting heavy objects. Our village bought a diesel engine in the 1960s. At that time, the machine was big and stupid, and there was no transportation. The village organized a dozen great young people and carried them back to the village from the county seat with thick bars. From then on, the villagers bid farewell to the history of eating noodles and pushing them with a mill.
When I was young, the pace of farmers' life was very slow. In the warm winter sun, both adults and children liked to play the game of "picking shuttles" in the yard. This "shuttle" is as long as a thumb and has two sharp points. It is made of hard branches. When playing, tap the tip of badminton with a two-foot thick wooden stick, and the badminton will jump half a meter high. The shuttle aimed at the middle of the shuttle and hit it for tens of meters with a stick. It depends on how far you play. Now that I think about it, the batting skill will not be lower than that of the current baseball players.
The leaves of litchi can be fed to silkworms. In the Qing Dynasty, Liu Guiyang Jing Hua Gai said: "There are many mountains, so there must be fields in the mountains. Raising silkworms in order to raise silkworms in the mountains is nothing. " This kind of silkworm, like children in rural areas, is "real" and placed directly in the wild mountains. Leaves can also be wrapped in zongzi. Leaves vary in size, and the big leaves are used to wrap zongzi. Every May and June, palm-sized leaves with clear veins are green. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, pick it from the ridge, wash it, spread it out and dry the prepared dumplings. The scientific name of the leaf is oak leaf. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, oak leaves are sweet, bitter, flat and non-toxic, and have the effects of stopping bleeding, quenching thirst and diuresis. Zongzi wrapped in Aralia elata leaves has a unique fragrance, which is said to prolong life. This is a rare delicacy.
The ancients often used mulberry to refer to their hometown. I think it is more representative of the land where I was born and raised. The mountains in my hometown are barren, so I never give up. I was born and raised in Sri Lanka and gave everything to people living in poor land. Life is like spring. When the warm spring breeze blows the earth, green buds sprout from the yellow petiole, and the buds begin to get smaller, just like naughty children climbing the treetops one after another. Dead leaves completed the mission of sheltering buds, and then fell with the wind and flew out like countless dead leaves butterflies. Rafters tell the difference between "time" and "day" of spring changes when dead leaves fall. The light and beautiful "falling" is a spectacular interpretation of the continuation of life. The new green is the freshest and attractive, and the fallen leaves have had dazzling green, returning to the earth and "turning into spring mud to protect flowers", which is also natural. Fallen leaves don't love branches in spring, just like old notes full of hopes and longings. When the spring breeze warms up, the roots will absorb nutrients from the dead leaves, and the new leaves will emit more charming green. ...
