Pleasant and interesting prose about strolling in a garden
The nickname of the blog "Qinghuan Youwei" is based on the famous saying of Su Shi, the ancient person I admire most, "The taste of the world is Qinghuan". I like that kind of connotation, pursue that kind of realm, and always feel the same way. "Walking around" is one of those experiences.
I can’t remember when I started to like walking. Anyway, it brings not only physical exercise, but also a kind of spiritual pleasure, and it forces me to always want to walk. These feelings were recorded in words.
In modern society, with the acceleration of the pace of life and the development of transportation, it seems to be a matter of course to lie down and rest or to travel by car. Walking upright, this primitive symbol of human evolution, has become somewhat insignificant in the eyes of many people. At first, the same was true for me: from a sports enthusiast in my student days to a sports burnout in my early career, I mistakenly thought that exercise was troublesome and a waste of time, to the point where I was even too lazy to walk a few more steps. As I grow older and lose energy, I have a desire to exercise more. The first choice is simple and practical walking, and it has gradually become my favorite.
Commuting and get off work hours are prime times for walking and exercise. The round trip is close to both sides of the city-protected artificial lake. The environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the terrain is unique. It is really a "feng shui treasure land" for walking exercise! There is a pleasant scenery in front of you, you can walk freely under your feet, and the distance between home and work is not far. It is nicknamed "economical half an hour". From departure to arrival at the destination, it is more than enough for a leisurely trip. Work and exercise "do both". Efficiency and quality of life complement each other. It's a joy to be a chic "office worker"!
Since I became obsessed with walking, it has become a daily necessity. Even shopping, which I was most afraid of in the past, is no longer so "hateful". Focusing on physical exercise, supplemented by shopping and bargaining, through the transformation of psychological roles, shopping has become another way of walking, so as not to become aloof and isolated from the rest of the world. When walking, there will be unexpected gains, the joy of meeting friends who have lost contact for many years, and the joy of seeing the world... You can even deliberately walk through the old city and enter the back alleys in order to covet long-lost snacks and relive the memories of the past. , chatting about being a teenager. Of course, simple and practical walking is sometimes limited, that is when going out for business or traveling. It is impossible to be independent in collective or group activities, but walking for a while is an effective relief from the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
As early as thousands of years ago, Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, believed that "walking is the best medicine for mankind." The physical benefits of walking are obvious, such as promoting blood circulation and strengthening myocardial function. However, to achieve the meaning and state of spiritual joy, you need to feel it with your heart.
Fortunately, we live in an era of harmonious development. We don’t have to be like Qu Yuan, who was burdened with embarrassment and lamented, “The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.” There is no need to be like Li Bai, who felt the difficulty of the journey and lamented. "The great road is like the blue sky, I alone cannot reach it." Even when I was in a hurry, as Xiao Hong wrote in an article recalling Lu Xun, "I just grabbed my hat and buckled it on my head, and at the same time I stretched out my left leg..." Those were all goals. Very clear and full of expectations for the future.
Most of the time, it is casually "walking around", or strutting, or walking slowly. Let your mind stretch and your emotions release, the feeling is really hearty! It is true that walking is inseparable from observation and thinking. As Rousseau lamented in his "Confessions", "There is no place where you can be more thoughtful and feel the joy of existence and life than when you are walking. It can even be said that, Be able to fully realize your own value. "In Rulu's life, the process is long and the results are short-lived. They will all end with the passage of time, and the two endings are different." I really appreciate the topic of the national college entrance examination essay - "Walking in Passing". When you enjoy walking as a process, rather than pursuing it as a result, then, no matter whether time passes or not, you will continue to gain. , does the result still matter... Just like the route of walking can be unpredictable, there are often temptations, confusions and hesitations in life's encounters. At this time, you might as well think of a couplet from Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, which says step by step, "It is fate." It is also a matter of luck, walk slowly; for the sake of fame and profit, sit down and go."
To achieve the dual purpose of walking, equipment is very necessary.
The author naturally prefers casual clothing, and there is no need to dress up like an athlete, but the bulky leather shoes must be thrown away. I remember that on the day I put on the sneakers I had put on for many years, I walked for three hours in total. I was so excited that I didn’t forget to call my son who lives on campus to share his thoughts. I also expressed my belated apology for the fact that the sneakers he keeps on his feet all year round “pollutes” the family environment. understand. The son teased lightly: "I've told you to be reasonable to dad a long time ago, but you're so cute and don't listen to me." It seems that if you don't do things carefully, you will eventually realize it. It's not too late to understand now!
Also, "walking" during regular mountaineering activities cannot be summarized in this article (it has been scattered in the author's related blog posts).
"Walking in the courtyard" is really a rare "pleasure and fun"... Today, in the strange circle where travel methods have been alienated as symbols of identity and status, I really wish that the greetings would be less "you" "Have you bought a car?" and other cliches, and more "Have you walked?" and other clichés; I really hope that "walking in the garden" will be less lonely and more enjoyable!
