Chang Xia's prose

Spring is full and summer is long. "The bucket refers to the southeast, and the dimension is long in summer. Everything grows here, hence the name Long Summer. " When people are still talking about the dust in the spring breeze, the heat of summer comes quietly with bursts of thunder. It's like the cold winter is already summer, and the peach blossoms on the lake are red and fall to the ground in the blink of an eye. Spring has gone and spring has come, and angelica has come in summer.

The beauty of a long summer lies in hope. Spring in the north is short and ambiguous. As the beginning of the four seasons cycle, it is difficult to get rid of the cold in winter and the warmth in sunny days. Therefore, people often look forward to the summer after spring, longing for warm sunshine, green rice fields, flowers in the fields and colorful summer dreams. Fan Chengda, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said in his poem "Living in a village is a matter": Mountains and rivers are full of green, and rain is like smoke in the sound of rules. Asking what you think is like Mao Mao rain. The lingering drizzle in early summer, winding oblique winds, bright alleys and streets, and colorful colors are filled with romantic atmosphere everywhere, which arouses people's inner desires and delicate thoughts and carries people's infinite good wishes for the future.

The beauty of long summer lies in hard work. As a traditional agricultural country, China has long summer as the day of long summer since ancient times. The ancients were full of devotion to seasonal changes, and people greeted the arrival of summer with great enthusiasm and grand ceremonies. According to records, during the Zhou Dynasty, on the day of long summer, the emperor personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to the suburbs to "welcome summer" and instructed Si Tuleideng and other officials to encourage farmers to work hard. There is a saying in the agricultural proverb: "Spring competes for the sun, and summer competes for the time." In other words, farming arrangements are precious in spring and golden in summer. It is better to plant spring seeds one day later than one day earlier, and harvest them later than one day earlier in summer. "Silkworms grow old every day, but wheat ripens every day." . The so-called "Man Cang plants rice in April and rice in May" warns people not to be lazy. If you want to gain something, you must act. Only by grasping the farming season, working hard and cultivating hard can we have ample food and clothing.

The beauty of long summer lies in its growth. In the Book of Rites, Chang Xia said: "When insects come out, melons grow long, and bitter vegetables are obvious." Explain that at this time, everything is in a period of vigorous growth. The book "Eight Chapters of Lotus Life" written by the Ming Dynasty said: "On the day of summer dream, heaven and earth began to merge and everything was beautiful." At this time, the summer harvest crops entered the late growth stage, the winter wheat blossomed and filled, the rape was close to maturity, and the summer harvest crops were basically a foregone conclusion that year. Therefore, there is a saying in agricultural proverbs that "see summer in the long summer". After a whole spring dormancy and gestation, under the call of summer, everything began to emerge one after another, exercising bones and muscles, breathing air and absorbing nutrients. In "Long Summer", Lu You wrote: Mud nests are noisy and flowers are scarce. The shade of Sophora japonica is dense at first, and the curtain is still slightly hot. Flowers bloom, attracting many bees to pick them, and locust and willow trees begin to grow new branches, which are gradually dense and full of vitality.

In short, "a year's plan lies in spring, a day's plan lies in the morning, and summer's plan is as expensive as gold." Time flies, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle. You may delay, but time will not. In this early summer season, I am ready to go, enrich my life every day with my sincerity and patience, and write a vibrant summer hymn without wasting every moment.
