On a quiet and cool afternoon, I opened the picture book Dawn Begins Again.

It makes me discover the beauty of dawn, fear the tranquility and magic of dawn, and be grateful for the light and hope that dawn brings to the world. Finally, through repeated reading and aftertaste, I found the place where the dawn began.

(1) Ask a question: Where does the dawn start?

The cover painting is quiet and beautiful, which makes people linger here.

The picture shows Dawn. The high sky is where the sun rises. A ray of light spread around, and the surrounding sky was faintly orange, pink and purple. Where the sea meets the sky, the sea water is also saturated with the color of dawn.

The sea was pale pink and blue, and a little boy stood quietly in the sea near the shore, bent down, ready to release his small sailboat.

This painting reminds me of a red sun rising on the sea of Ran Ran, of a little boy flying his sailboat, of the sailboat sailing slowly to the sea, of the future and hope, and of the beginning of a new life. ...

The inside picture of the book gives people a completely different feeling from just now. The color of the outer cover is dim and elegant, but the inner cover is a chaotic mixture of crimson and black. There are many bright spots in the sky, shouldn't they be stars? In the silent darkness, the morning sun shines brightly and blooms from the silent darkness, which seems to have endless light and vitality.

The world is spinning,

Towards morning,

There is a new sunrise every day,

Even if the night is dark and long.

Picture books have poetic language and profound philosophical thinking.

This passage reminds people of the "sun worship" in yoga. In ancient times, the sun was regarded as a god by human beings, and its infinite light and power made our ancestors full of awe and gratitude for it.

This passage, like a prayer, makes people suddenly want to close their eyes, quietly reflect on their own hearts, feel the rotation of the earth at the moment, and feel the infinite power brought by the sunrise.

The world and all beings, the world and all things are one. The picture on this page has a big warm orange as the background and a rooster at dawn on the right. Its eyes are bright, its hard beak and feathers are shining with the light of the sun, while its eyes are shining with bright light, which is surprisingly similar to the light of dawn just now.

The camera was opened by a close-up rooster and transformed into an open big scene. The second page is a pasture with an orange background. In the distance is the dawn sky and sunrise. Two horses were quietly bathed in the morning light. Not far away is the back of a girl, who is carrying a bucket of golden millet and scattering it at a rooster. This rooster is the rooster that appeared on the last page, but the lens is reduced.

The picture is accompanied by a profound question: "But where does the dawn begin?"

"But where does the dawn begin?" This is really a wonderful and profound question. If I hadn't read this book, I would never have thought about such a problem.

(2) Explore, discover and discover the dawn:

Read on as the text progresses.

The author lists the hypothetical answers with beautiful pictures and poetic language, and then denies the answers just now.

Some people say that dawn begins at the top of the mountain, the highest place on earth. You can see the sunshine before it touches the rivers, lakes, forests and grasslands at the foot of the distance. Here, the first ray of morning light dispelled the dark panic.

The top of the mountain is the highest place on the earth, and it is also a place that few people touch.

When dawn arrived there, the sun had not touched the rivers and lakes under its feet.

The dawn at the top of the mountain is noble, sacred, quiet and full of power. ...

The next page says, "But the top of the mountain is not where the dawn begins." .

Yes, for the boy on this beach, the mountain is not the place where the dawn begins, but the sand dunes in front of him are the place where the dawn begins, and what he loves and expects in his heart is the place where the dawn begins!

The mountains on the previous page are very similar to the sand dunes piled by boys on this page, and they are all pulled from the top of the mountain to the sand dunes. What is the connection between the high mountain top and the small sand dunes piled by boys?

The top of the mountain is very high and the hills are very low, but for different people who love light and have hope, the top of the mountain and the hills they face are the places where the dawn begins in their hearts.

"Some people say that dawn starts from the treetops. There, the birds feel the first soft light and sing the melody in their own way. Singing pulls the sleeping world out of the dream, when the first breeze blows the smallest leaves. "

The picture on this page is so beautiful that the scene has changed from a majestic mountain to a soft branch.

On the left is a close-up, bird eggs bathed in the morning light. The oval eggshell is sprinkled with the soft light of dawn, and goose yellow, pink, orange and blue are intertwined. There is a petite leaf in front of the soft eggshell. ...

Compare the left and right pictures, one is still a close-up and the other is a big picture. Here, birds are singing the dawn in their hearts, and the breeze is swaying the dawn in their hearts. This is a small and gentle landscape of nature.

On the next page, a beautiful girl, with a camera, looked at the front intently. Something must have caught her attention ahead, right? She is also catching the dawn of her heart.

This page denies the previous answer-"but the treetops are not the place where the dawn begins."

Why? Perhaps, the answer is only in the little girl's heart, on what she focuses on.

Then, follow the words into another dawn realm.

The dawn on the swamp is very touching. This is a mandarin duck with bright feathers. It is testing its wings for its first flight. What does this mean? Dawn opens the day. At this time, the muskrat slipped down from the cattail quietly, and it chatted with Yuanyang about each other's stories in its own language.

These beautiful scenes are also being discovered by a beautiful girl with a telescope. However, for others, the swamp is not the place where dawn begins.

Then we followed the picture book to the lake and saw the dawn of the lake and the sea.

There, the fish and the waves are starting their new lives, and the first buoy of the day is shaking gently. The little boy is quietly looking forward to catching the first fish of the day, and his reflection is quietly swaying on the lake. ...

The pages of this book take us anywhere-we see a magnificent landscape: from the highest mountain top on earth to the endless ocean …

The height of the mountain is beyond the reach of other natural scenery, but the vast sea can bury the highest peak. The ocean surrounds the earth, injecting strength into the emergence of life on the earth.

With the development of the plot, we seem to have traveled through ancient times and felt the appearance of primitive marine life in that era. The ocean brings life to everything, and it symbolizes the future and expectation.

The article has experienced a complete cycle from majestic mountains to vast oceans. In the middle of mountains and seas, we describe many beautiful and tiny landscapes that are easily overlooked, showing that there is no place where dawn exists everywhere. ...

Then the author continued the topic that the ocean is the place where life began, starting from Africa, the continent where new signs of life appeared for the first time, writing fossils and writing about the owner of the earth hundreds of millions of years ago.

The following story opens up a grand realm for readers. We are experiencing a great transformation of time and space, seeing different dawns at different times.

Then the story takes readers to the far east where the sun rises, to the sacred land in the Middle East, and writes down people's prayers and celebrations for the dawn, great religions, the voices of saints, and the calls of conscience ... Obviously, the author's perspective here has changed from nature to human society.

Finally, the reader follows the text to the dawn of his hometown.

We can see the clue that the author explores the dawn: nature-society-hometown-heart.

After a long exploration, the author writes different dawns in different people's hearts in a spiral way.

From sublime grandeur to subtle femininity, from the beginning of life to great saints, from sacred religion to home, from home to soul.

The process of reading this book is also a journey of following the author's practice, a process of polishing life and discovering the inner dawn.

(3) Answer: Dawn is in your heart.

So, where is the dawn?

The answer is revealed at the end of the picture book, which is also the core meaning of the whole story:

Because the world keeps spinning, towards the place where the sun rises, it brings dawn to everyone and everywhere all the time.

No matter where, as long as there is a heart that loves the light, that land will be full of hope. That heart appreciates every brand-new day. In that heart, the sun is always hanging in the sky, illuminating every corner of the world.

Where does the dawn begin? The answer is-in your heart.

The author turned from extroversion to introversion, telling us that as long as we have a heart that loves the light, there is always a place where the dawn begins.

Where does the dawn begin-the answer is in your heart.

Through the ending of the story, we also understand that the dawn in everyone's heart is different at all times and in all countries. Dawn is a heart that loves light, future and hope. The heart is bright and the world is bright and beautiful.

My philosophy:

What is dawn?

Dawn is the beginning of a new day, the beginning of every life, and the moment when everything wakes up.

"There is a new sunrise every day, even if the night is dark and long." Dawn is hope, it eliminates darkness, it awakens light; Dawn is power, it destroys ugliness and inspires beauty.

2. Where is the dawn and where does it start?

Following the author's long exploration, we found that dawn is everywhere. As long as there is light in the heart, it is everywhere.

Mind and matter are integrated, mind gives birth to all kinds of methods, and mind destroys all kinds of methods.

Therefore, there are many dawns in the story-mountains, treetops, swamps, lakes and oceans ... If there are people who love light, then the world will be full of dawns.

3. What is your own dawn?

So what is dawn for your own life?

As the author said, the answer lies in his heart.

Dawn in nature is everywhere: in the morning light, the slightly swaying flowers are dawn; The twittering of birds is the dawn; The leaves swaying in the morning breeze are dawn; The touch of the morning glow in the sky is also dawn.

In human society, all good things are also the place where dawn exists. What you love is the dawn in your heart: painting, dancing, singing, reading, writing and so on. All these are full of hope and vitality because of your love, and become the place where the dawn begins.

Buddha said: a flower and a world, a leaf and a bodhi. In this picture book, we see such a realm.

No matter how big or small, we can find light and vitality in everything.

As long as there is light in your heart and the power of peace and awakening in your heart, the tranquility and beauty of dawn will always accompany you.

I only wish that your heart will always be dawn.
