Autumn is lonely, but also colorful. A touch of autumn, with hazy beauty and elegant charm, brings people's mood to an implicit and profound realm again and again. Some people say that autumn leaves fall with sadness, which is too sad. In fact, the colorful fallen leaves are scattered like the fallen flowers, so quiet, so calm, and so calm. Autumn, in my heart, is the most beautiful season. Compared with other seasons, it is the precipitation after experiencing thousands of sails, the calmness after experiencing the prosperity, and the desire for the reincarnation of seasons. Entering the autumn of life, the feeling is the same as appreciating the autumn colors of nature.
It was that autumn 20 years ago. My old friend on Hengsha Island invited me to stay on the island for a few days. Hengsha Island in autumn was really unique and it still remains in my memory for a long time. inside. Autumn on Hengsha Island is really beautiful. The autumn wind on the island is bleak. There are strips of reeds growing around the shore. The tidal flats next to the avenue and the water are covered with reeds in their peak bloom. This vast reed grove has experienced the early spring. The green in spring, tall and straight in midsummer, looks particularly magnificent in autumn. The most unforgettable thing for me is the reed flowers flying all over the sky, with the ebb and flow of the tide and the sound of waves. Looking from a distance, the large white reed flowers look like The snow waves rise and fall, like white clouds turning, they are shining silver with the rhythm of the beautiful Yangtze River water... The graceful charm of the autumn reed flowers on Hengsha Island in front of me really makes me want to write a hymn of praise, but unfortunately I am not a poet, or Lack of talent as a poet!
Later, I went to Wuxi, and the reed marshes I saw on the edge of Taihu Lake were completely different. The water and sky were the same color, the calm water surface, the reflection of the green mountains in the distance, and the clusters of reeds nearby. ; Reeds stand straight in the water, the green reed leaves have turned yellow, and the white reed flowers are fluttering in the wind. In the scene of "fishing boats singing late", the fishing boats returning late at night together with the sound of motors from the diesel engines startled everyone. The resting birds fly deep into the lake. The shores of Taihu Lake and Hengsha Island have slightly different styles, but there are similarities in the differences. Reeds are always densely spread on the tidal flats and grow closer to the water. They hug together tightly and are connected closely to form a vast reed, which not only adds green landscape to the edge of Taihu Lake, but also builds a wave-proof wall with a unique effect. The reeds stretch along the endless shore of Taihu Lake. The reed flowers spreading like snow shine under the blue sky and beside the clear water of the lake. It is very spectacular when viewed from a distance or up close.
Speaking of reed flowers, people can't help but think of the stories performed in "Ludang Fire" and "Shajiabang". It tells the story of Guo Jianguang, an instructor of a certain unit of the New Fourth Army, who led 18 wounded people to Shajiabang to recuperate during the Anti-Japanese War. The enemy is stubborn. Shajiabang is located on the shore of Taihu Lake. Today, the Shajiabang Reed Marsh Scenic Area has long become a patriotic education demonstration base, a national 4A tourist area, and one of the largest ecological wetlands in East China. It is home to secluded paths in bamboo forests, fragrant reeds, and willow trees. You can hear the waves on the embankment, you can ask about fishing in the hidden lake, and the water is warm with twin lotuses. The reeds are green and the reed flowers are swaying in the wind, but they stop at their roots. If it floats or stops, if it exists or if it doesn't exist, it is as misty as clouds, but tied to its roots. Things change when the world changes, and today's reed marsh has a different flavor.
Verses about reeds are scattered in the books of history, but the original one comes from "The Book of Songs" "Jian Jia Cang Cang, on the side of the water". No other word can be better written than "Cang Cang" The charm of reeds can only be experienced in late autumn. "There are many sands on the shore, and the branches are swaying in the waves. The moon is as bright as snow, and there is no place to recognize the fishermen." (Yong Yuzhi of the Tang Dynasty), "Thousands of hectares of reeds are spread over the water, and the autumn colors are all over the river." (Chen Liang of the Song Dynasty), " Thousands of miles of cold mountains and rivers, a lonely boat parked deep in the reeds, playing the flute in the Yueming Tower" (Xin Qiji), "The sky meets the blue sky, and the river is curled with flowers" (Jin Wu Ji)... Generally speaking, these poets wrote. Reeds, from the growth environment and growth posture of reeds, as well as the full bloom, depicts the beauty of reeds that authors of all ages can feel.
After seeing many kinds of flowers cultivated in the world, I feel that the reed flowers have a special kind of tranquility and beauty. From a distance, it looks like light smoke and thin clouds, and a vast expanse of white clouds steaming and glowing. In the breeze, the reed branches are swaying and the reed flowers are fluttering. In recent years, with the economic and social development of the areas along Taihu Lake, and after several years of iron-handed pollution control and scientific management of Taihu Lake, the water quality of Taihu Lake has continued to improve. All of this, the reeds known as the "purifier" of beautiful Taihu Lake also play a role in purifying water quality.
