On the winding lotus pond, I look forward to the leaves of Tian Tian. The leaves are high out of the water, like an elegant dancer's skirt. Layers of leaves are dotted with some white flowers, some of which bloom gracefully and some are in bud shyly; Like a pearl, like a star in the blue sky, like a beauty who just took a bath. The breeze blew, sending wisps of fragrance, like a faint song on a tall building in the distance. At this time, the leaves and flowers also trembled slightly, like lightning, passing through the lotus pond in an instant. The leaves are close side by side, so there are clear wave marks. Below the leaves is flowing water, which is covered and can't see some colors; Leaves are more exposed to the wind.

Moonlight, like running water, falls quietly on this leaf and flower. A thin layer of blue mist floats in the lotus pond. Leaves and flowers seem to have been washed in milk; Like a dream in a sarong. Although it is a full moon, there are faint clouds in the sky, so it can't shine; But I think this is just a benefit-deep sleep is indispensable, and nap is unique. Moonlight shines through the trees, and the bushes at the height cast uneven and mottled shadows, which are as steep as ghosts; The sparse shadows of curved willows seem to be painted on lotus leaves. The moonlight in the pond is uneven; But light and shadow have a harmonious melody, such as a famous song played in the Vatican.

Around the lotus pond, there are trees far and near, and willows are the most. These trees surround a lotus pond; Only on one side of the path, there are some gaps, which seem to be reserved for moonlight. An example of the color of trees is cloudy, which at first glance looks like a cloud of smoke; But the abundance of willows can be recognized in the smoke. There are distant mountains on the treetops, just a little careless. There are still one or two lamps leaking through the cracks in the tree. What is listless is the eyes of those who are sleepy. At this time, the most lively are cicadas in the tree and frogs in the water; But the excitement is theirs. I have nothing. (Zhu Ziqing's Moonlight on the Lotus Pond)

I grew up in Jiangnan, and I was deeply impressed by the winter in Jiangnan when I was a child. Although I gradually entered middle age and fell in love with late autumn, thinking that autumn is the favorite season for readers and writers, I always feel that the winter scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is a special mood, which can match the summer nights in the north. To put it more modestly, it is an obvious emotional appeal.

I have also been to Fujian and Guangdong, where it is extremely warm for the winter. Sometimes, at the end of the lunar calendar, I may have to take out my gauze shirt: I walked through the hedges of savages and saw many miscellaneous autumn flowers! It rained and thundered, and it was a little cooler. At most, I just wore a coat. Between Fujian and Guangdong, fur robe and cotton-padded jacket are absolutely unnecessary! This extreme southern climate is not what I call the winter scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, but Changchun in the south, which is an extension of spring or autumn.

Jiangnan has rich and humid geology, which can contain hot air and support plants; Therefore, in the Yangtze River area, the reed flowers can be unbeaten until the winter solstice, and the red leaves sometimes last for more than three months. Like the Chinese tallow tree on both sides of Qiantang River, the red leaves are lodging, and the branches are hung with white buds, which can be distinguished by the lens. The grass is ochre at most, and the roots are always green. Not only did the wildfire never completely engulf them, but the cold wind could not blow them down. If you are willing to walk alone in the winter suburbs on a warm afternoon, you will not only feel the cold when you are young, but also feel an inexplicable implicit anger there: "When winter comes, spring will always come soon", which is the easiest to understand only in Shan Ye in the south of the Yangtze River.

Speaking of walking in the cold suburbs, it is really a special favor for Jiangnan residents in winter; People who grew up in the northern ice and snow have no chance to enjoy this kind of happiness all their lives. I don't know how the winter in Germany compares with the winter in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but judging from the fact that many writers like to use the word Spaziergang as their creative theme, it is about the south of Germany, and the changes of the four seasons are always not much different from those in our south. For example, in the 19th century, the local poet Peter Rosegger1843-1918 wrote many articles on this topic, but most of his writings can be applied to the mountainous areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces of China.

The rivers and ports in the south of the Yangtze River are connected, the land is close to the sea, and there are many lakes and swamps, so sometimes the air contains moisture. There will be some light rain from time to time in winter. The scene of winter rain in this cold village is an indescribable leisurely realm. Think about it, after the autumn harvest, three or five families gathered in a small village by the river, with the door facing the long bridge and the window facing the mound in the distance, with many leafy trees in the middle; On this picture of the winter countryside, a layer of white rain as fine as powder is sprinkled with a light background. Do you feel free enough? If you want more scenery, you can park a boat with a sunshade in front of the door, add a few noisy drinkers to the hut, add red and yellow when it is dark, and draw a circle on the window of the hut to indicate a halo. When people reach this state, they are naturally free and easy. In the end, all gains and losses are lost, and there is a difference between life and death: should we always remember a quatrain written by a poet in the Tang Dynasty, "It rains on the river and it rains in the village"? When the poet came here, he was even polite to the greenwood peddler. What is the charm of the winter scenery in Jiangnan?

Speaking of rain, it is inevitable to think of snow: "It feels like snow outside at dusk. How about a glass of wine inside?"? ? "Nature is the snow scene at sunset in Jiangnan. "Cold sand and beautiful shadow road, Xiaoxue wine village", three friends of Xueyuemei get together on a winter night and flirt with the wine girl. "Chai Men village dogs bark, and people in the snow return at night." It was a snowy night in the south of the Yangtze River. On the tree in front of Zita Law, a branch blossomed last night. "The next morning, the village children who like making snow like dogs came to report the scenery in the village. Not all the poets' poems are written in Jiangnan, and not all the poets who wrote these poems are from Jiangnan. But it is straightforward to forge these poems to describe the snow scene in Jiangnan, which is much better than my prose written with this stupid pen.

In a few years, there may be a winter without rain or snow in Jiangnan, and it will be a little colder in Chun Xue at the end of the lunar calendar or the beginning of February in spring. Last year's (1934) winter was like this, but I'm afraid this winter will be different. According to the solar terms, the cold days will end in February of 1936, and it will last for seven or eight days at most. Winter like this is called dry winter in rural areas, which may be better for wheat harvest, but the population will be damaged; After a long drought, diphtheria, influenza and other diseases are naturally easy to get up, but those who want to enjoy the winter scenery in Jiangnan will only be happier this winter, because there are more sunny days, and there are naturally more opportunities to stroll in the suburbs. The Japanese call it hiking, and the Germans call it Spaziergang madman. This is the most popular winter. (Yu Dafu's Winter Scene in Jiangnan)

If there is only sunshine, it is not surprising. Please close your eyes and think about it: an ancient city with mountains and water is basking in the sun, sleeping warmly and comfortably, just waiting for the spring breeze to wake them up. Is this an ideal realm? The mountain completely surrounds Jinan, except for the lack of some food in the north. This circle of hills is particularly lovely in winter, as if Jinan were put in a small cradle. They whispered, "Don't worry, it will be warm here. Really, people in Jinan laugh in winter. As soon as they saw those hills, they felt that they had landed and leaned over. When they saw the mountains from the sky, they unconsciously thought, "Tomorrow may be spring, right? With such warmth, maybe the grass will turn green tonight? "Even this fantasy can't be realized for a while, and they don't worry, because there is such a charity winter, what else do they want!

Best of all, it snowed a little. You see, the dwarf pine on the mountain is getting darker and darker, and there are white flowers on the top of the tree, like Japanese nurses. The top of the mountain is all white, giving the blue sky a silver edge. On the hillside, there is thick snow in some places, and grass color is still exposed in some places; In this way, one is white, the other is dark yellow, and the mountain is covered with a floral dress with water patterns; Looking at it, this floral dress seems to be blown by the wind, which makes you want to see more beautiful goatskin. When it was almost sunset, the yellow sun shone obliquely on the hillside, and the Bo Xue suddenly seemed to blush and show a little pink. It's just a light snow. Jinan can't stand heavy snow. Those hills are so fragile!

Ancient Jinan, the city is so narrow and spacious. There are some small villages lying on the hillside, and there is some snow on the roofs of the small villages. Yes, this is a small ink painting, probably painted by a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty.

What about water? It did not freeze, but steamed on the green duckweed. Seaweed is really green, and all the green stored all the year round is taken out. The clearer the sky, the greener the algae. With these green spirits, the water can't bear to freeze, and those skilled weeping willows have to take a picture in the water! Look, slowly rising from the clear river, the sky, mid-air and sky are so clear and blue from top to bottom, and the whole is an ethereal blue crystal. In this crystal, there are red roofs and yellow grass hills, like small gray shadows of flowers on the carpet; This is Jinan in winter. (Winter in Jinan by Lao She)

Let's go to Meiyu Pavilion first. Meiyu Pavilion faces the waterfall; Sitting on the edge of the pavilion, you can see all this without looking up. Deep under the pavilion is the Meiyu Pool. The pavilion stands in a prominent corner of the rock, and it is empty from top to bottom; Like an eagle spreading its wings and flying in the sky. There are mountains on three sides, like a half ring; People are at the bottom of the well. It's cloudy in autumn. Slight clouds flow over our heads; There is a little oil on the rock surface and grass, and it is green because of humidity. And the waterfall seems to be particularly loud. The waterfall rushed down from above, as if it had been torn into strands; It is no longer a neat and smooth cloth. There are many edges and corners on the rock; When the waterfall flows, it makes a sharp crash and splashes like flying flowers and broken jade. The splashing water is crystal clear and full of awns; From a distance, like a small white plum, it rained one after another. It is said that this is the reason why Meiyu Pool got its name. But I think it is more accurate to be like Huayang. The breeze rises, and it drifts a little with the wind, which is more beautiful. -at this moment, a few points were accidentally sent into our warm arms, so we got in at once and couldn't find them anymore.

The sparkling green of Meiyu pool attracts us; We started chasing her clutch light. Grasping the grass, climbing the rocks, leaning down carefully and bowing on a stone dome door, we reached the edge of the swimming pool. Waterfalls are between sleeves; But there is no waterfall in my heart. My heart swings with the green of the pool. Intoxicating green, like a huge lotus leaf, is covered with strange green. I want to embrace her with open arms; But what an illusion this is. Standing by the water and looking at that side, it actually feels a little far! This paved thick green is really cute. She is loosely wrinkled, like a skirt dragged by a young woman; She gently fiddled with it, like a beating virgin's first love heart; She is smooth and shiny, like "bright oil" and soft as egg white, which reminds people of the softest skin they have ever touched; She doesn't bother me, just like a warm jasper, only clear-but you can't see through her! I've seen Populus davidiana in Shichahai, Beijing, and it seems too weak to get rid of the yellow background. I have seen a tall and dense "green wall" next to the Tiger Running Temple in Hangzhou. The endless green grass and overlapping leaves are too thick. As for the others, the waves in West Lake are too bright, and those in Qinhuai River are too dark. Cute, can I compare with you? How to compare? Probably this pool is deep, so it can accommodate such a strange green color; As if the blue sky had melted into it, it was so fresh. That intoxicating green! If I can cut your ribbon, I will give it to the dancer of light; She will be able to float in the wind. If I can fan your eyes, I will give it to the blind girl who is good at singing; She will have a pair of bright eyes. I am reluctant to part with you; How can I give up on you? I patted you and touched you with my hand, like a little girl of twelve or thirteen. I touched your entrance again and kissed her. I'll give you a name, and I'll call you "green daughter" from now on, okay?

The second time I went to Xianyan, I couldn't help but marvel at the green of Meiyu Pool. (Zhu Ziqing, "Green")

If it is too long, it can be selectively extracted. In fact, most people write landscapes in prose, such as Zhu Ziqing, Yu Dafu, Lao She, Lu Xun and Ba Jin. There are many and most of them are famous paragraphs, which are easy to find.
