Original Prose: Low-key, Silently Blooming Flowers

Author//Oriental Bamboo

A spring breeze, a few drops of drizzle, willow green and bonus.

Winter jasmine has become the messenger of this season, swaying the branches of goose yellow, ostentatiously pushing the arrival of another spring to the earth. The nameless orchid at the foot is not weak, its low body, pocket-like petals and light green leaves hold up a touch of blue, and it opens silently in this warm spring season in bloom. Don't make public her brilliance, don't dye its fragrance, and wait for this season's bloom in a low-key and restrained manner.

In the corner of the park, next to a swaying rose, there are a group of small orchids that bloom very early. They pass by her every day, smelling only the flowers, but not the flowers. Only by bending down and looking carefully can you find it petite but charming. It seems a little insignificant among thousands of flowers, but it is blooming like no one's watching. This petite orchid, its world is doomed to be lonely, its life may be short, and it will wither sooner or later. It blooms silently, but it doesn't seem so gorgeous. It never attracts a phoenix to attract butterflies and lives quietly at other people's feet. Even though I am covered with my face and can't show people with flowers, I am quietly waiting for the land under my feet, but this low-key is enough for people to cast a glance of approval and respect.

Low-key is a kind of silent beauty and great wisdom. The low-key of natural things is the instinctive state and the embodiment of nature. However, keeping a low profile is a kind of mind, a kind of character, a kind of grace, a kind of accomplishment, and it is the best gesture to be a man.

Years are long and the world of mortals is rolling. The low-key and introverted character has always been admired, studied and praised. In ancient times, Lin Xiangru retreated in response to Lian Po's provocation and kept a low profile. Today, Mo Yan, a Nobel Prize in Literature winner, refused the government to repair his old home in front of flowers and applause, becoming a beautiful talk. Low-key is not weakness, but weakness as a virtue, humility, simplicity, tolerance and indifference. It is the concrete embodiment of quality and culture.

Now some people think that high-profile publicity is self-confidence. Actually, it's all empty. "There is only half a bucket of water, but they are determined to drip heavily." They swaggered away. Improper dress, showing off in front of people, slandering behind people, a little arrogant, boastful, covering up an empty soul with exaggeration. At best, you can only show off. This is not self-confidence, let alone self-cultivation. A truly capable person never shows off, even if it is as low as dust, it can bloom gorgeous flowers.

In autumn, the mature ears of grain bow their full heads and hold their heads high empty. Grass is unknown, but it can dress up as green earth, but nameless flowers can smell fragrance. Being low-key, modest, unassuming and not arrogant not only represents a person's character, but also shows a person's cultivation and ideological realm. In the bustling world, use a low-key pen to paint a colorful picture, which is low-key and introverted and more noble.

Be a quiet person, bloom quietly, bring peace to the world, bring peace to the surroundings, bloom life in silence and burn passion. Like grass, it walks through life in a low-key and simple way, quietly coming and going, even if it withers in autumn frost, it will turn into spring mud to protect flowers.
