Present situation of osmanthus fragrans
Because there are many willows in my paintings, some people say that I like willows; Because some people say I like willow, I seem to think I really have something to do with willow. But I also asked why I like willows. What is the deep relationship with willow? The answer is not available. It turned out that this was completely accidental: I lived in Baima Lake these years and saw someone planting willows by the lake. I asked them for a small plant and planted it in my corner. So I named this house "Xiaoliuwu", so I often use common willow trees as painting materials, so some people say that I like willow trees, so I feel that I have something to do with willow trees. If people had planted thorns on the lake, maybe I would have named the house "Little Thorn House", but painting thorns became a thorny fate. This is often the case in the world. But if I want to become attached to willow, I won't say the above, and I can attach various reasons. Or I love its light yellow and light green, or I love it like a villain's waist, or I love it planted in Tao Yuanming's house, or I can quote the poems of "Green in the Guest Room" and "Good Green in the Tree", as well as various classics such as "The Appearance of the Princes" and "God of Zhang Xu" as my reasons for loving Liu. Even if you want to find 300 high-sounding, elegant and profound reasons, it is easy. This is often the case in the world. Maybe I once said "I love willow" to people. But it's also fate. It's like I accidentally bought a pair of black socks to wear on my feet. When people asked me "Why do I wear black socks", I told him "I like to wear black socks". In fact, I have never been interested in flowers and trees; That is, there is no persistence. This is because I grew up in a poor village. I have only seen Sang Ma, corn, tobacco, cotton, wheat and soybeans, and I have never been near a garden full of flowers. I have only seen beautiful names such as Wei Zi, Red Star, Peony and Peony in a few old books, but the owners who can get close contact with these names are rare. It's not that I haven't seen them at all, just because they often disappoint me. I don't believe these are Wei Zihua, who once treated Ziweilang, the red apricot that made Shangshu famous, the peony that once lay with beautiful women and let life slip past them, or the peony that symbolizes wealth. I think they are just a few kinds of plants, but they are rare and precious, and there is really nothing particularly lovely about them. It seems that they don't deserve to be praised in poetry, let alone occupy such a noble position among flowers and trees. So in my opinion, the famous flower praised in poetry is another kind, not the plant I see now. I have been to Fugui Garden occasionally, but I have never seen a scene that can be completely called "flowers like embroidery". If I want to praise a plant now, I still want to praise the willow. But this has nothing to do with the frontier. This is just how I feel these days. I won't convert to it all my life just because I believe in religion or idolatry on a whim. Yesterday, for the good weather, I buried myself in writing until the evening, so I had to walk to the bench by the West Lake and sit for a while. I saw thousands of bright green beads hanging on the willows on the shore of the lake, floating around in the warm spring breeze, and many slightly curved S lines floated out. I feel this plant is really beautiful and lovely, and I have to praise it. It is said that this plant is the meanest. Cut a branch and stick it in the ground, and it will live, and later it will become a big willow tree. It doesn't need noble fertilizer or deep ploughing. As long as there is sunshine, soil and water, it will live, and it will be very strong and beautiful. Peony flowers should eat fat intestines, grapevines should eat broth, and many flowers and trees should eat bean cakes; But willow shouldn't eat other people's rice, so people say it's "cheap". Probably "expensive" means eating. The more you eat, the better, and the more you eat, the more expensive it is. Eating too much is useless, but it looks more expensive. For example, peony is more expensive than grapes, because peony eats fat intestines just for viewing, while grapes eat broth and have results. Willow does not eat people's things, but has wood for people to use, so it is regarded as "base". I admire the beauty of willow, but its beauty is different from peony and all other flowers and trees. The main beauty of willow lies in its drooping. Most flowers and trees grow upward. Red apricots can grow "outside the wall" and ancient trees can grow "towering". It is good to go up, but I often see lush foliage, as if I have forgotten the roots below and feel that they look hateful; You live on it. Why not just sit on it and never pay attention to it? Your life is built on it. How can you only covet your own glory without looking back at the roots in the soil? Most flowers and trees are like this. Even the roots below were smashed, but the flowers and leaves above were still thriving. Being a last-minute Fu Wei there is really hateful and pitiful! Willow is not so hateful and pitiful: it is not that it will not grow upward. It grows fast and tall; But the higher you are, the lower you hang. Tamarix chinensis lour, a strange man, never forgets his roots. They often look down and always use the power of spring breeze to worship or kiss the roots in the soil. It seems that a group of lively children play around their loving mother, but they always lean against her or jump into her arms, which makes people feel very cute. There are some willows higher than the wall, but I don't think they are too high. I can work for it without forgetting my roots. Since ancient times, poetry and prose often take willow as the main theme of spring. Write the spring scenery as "a thousand trees hang down on the poplar", write the spring scenery as "tamarix chinensis lour", and even call it "wicker spring". I think this is not only the reason why willow sprouts in spring, but also the reason why its tree has a special attitude and is in harmony with the quiet and beautiful spring. This gesture is characterized by "drooping". Otherwise, when few trees germinate in spring, why should wicker be the master of spring? Just because other trees are relying on Dong Jun's influence, they are desperately trying to go up, blindly climbing high and forgetting their roots. Their greed is not in line with the spirit of spring. The only thing that best symbolizes the spirit of spring is weeping willows. This is the feeling of a whim when I saw the willow trees near the West Lake yesterday. But I don't just appreciate the willows by the West Lake. In the spring these days, willows everywhere in the countryside have such a commendable gesture. West Lake seems too expensive, but it is not suitable for planting this kind of "cheap" poplar.
1. It shows the spirit that Liu Yang is above, but he can go up and down without forgetting his roots.
2. In the first sentence, the willows are beautiful in posture, inner beauty, drooping and base. Not demanding spirit, tenacious vitality, high and capable, high without forgetting the roots.
3. Personification rhetoric personifies the willow and vividly writes the posture of willow dancing to the root.
Hope to adopt!
