What is the second natural segment of the winter solstice dream?

At that time, we only knew that it would be the Spring Festival that our children were looking forward to until the solstice of winter, after a slight cold and a severe cold. When I grow up, I understand that from the point of view that the earth revolves around the sun and the sun shines on the ground, the winter solstice is the day when the sun moves to the pole of the Tropic of Capricorn, and the northern hemisphere has the shortest day and the longest night. The southern hemisphere has the longest days and the shortest nights. After this day, the earth's orbit around the sun gradually shifted to the Tropic of Cancer.

Original text:

When I was very young, my grandfather taught us to recite the ancient songs of the twenty-four solar terms: "Spring rains shake the spring and clear the valley, summer is full and summer is hot, autumn is cold and frosty, and winter is chilly."

At that time, we only knew that it would be the Spring Festival that our children were looking forward to until the solstice of winter, after a slight cold and a severe cold. I didn't understand until I grew up, from the angle that the earth revolves around the sun and the ground is illuminated by sunlight.

The winter solstice is the day when the sun moves to the pole of the Tropic of Capricorn, with the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere has the longest days and the shortest nights. After this day, the earth's orbit around the sun gradually shifted to the Tropic of Cancer.

On the solstice of winter, heavy snow falls. The winter solstice is the darkest and coldest day of the year. But that spring, which no one can see, came to us with fluttering snowflakes on this day. It's just that she doesn't want to see anyone so soon. But she made all living things begin to dream their warm dreams and hopes.

Apple trees in the orchard, grape branches covered with snow, winter wheat and grass roots in the soil, cabbage and saplings in the cellar, and hibernating frogs and earthworms ... Although you can't hear their waking voices and dreams, kind and affectionate Mother Earth can feel the surging blood of everything.

If you don't believe me, dig through the snow or dig up the soil and take a closer look: the black vines turn green and the hard branches become soft; The frozen land began to loosen and there was a clatter under the glacier; Some tiny grass roots have sprouted pale buds, and the branches in the cellar spit out small purple leaves as big as nails-they all seem impatient.

I can't wait. I have to wait. Our small window has been plastered and can't be opened. The windmill we planted on the haystack and hung under the eaves can't be taken down yet. Our winter solstice dream won't really wake up in spring until 998 1 days later!

What a difficult eighty-one days this is! I remember that grandpa always hung a white plum blossom picture on his old wall with 8 1 small petals on it. He painted a petal with red ink every day until 8 1 petal was painted red, and a tree Bai Mei became a red plum. Grandpa will tell us that spring has really come and we can change into thick cotton-padded clothes.

Oh, how I miss the bright and warm spring! I miss the warm dreams I have had in countless long winter nights! This is a dream about snow, a dream about flowers and a dream about hope. It was a dream of lush green grass, a dream of willows and swallows, a dream of wheat eager to turn green and jointing, a dream of kites hanging high on the treetops, and a dream of winter rice sugar that was sweet to the whole farmer overnight.

How many winter solstices have been sent away in my dream, and my kind and hardworking grandfather has rested in his hometown. But I couldn't save the next plum blossom picture that left a deep impression on me, from Bai Mei to Hongmei. I only vaguely remember the couple written on both sides of the painting: "But in the painting, Li Shuhong is a willow outside the door."

One winter a few years later, I was far away from my hometown and stranded in a strange town in the south of the Yangtze River. On the coldest solstice night in winter, I wrapped my coat tightly, listened to the sound of rain and snow outside the window, and recited Bai Juyi's poem "It's night in mid-November, and people walk three thousand miles."

At this time, I don't know whether it is a kind of warmth or a kind of homesickness. I can't help crying. I'm thinking, in that distant hometown, all living things should be immersed in the deep and warm winter dream on the solstice again, right? Then, please accept my deep and distant blessing.
