? Some people love pines and cypresses, some people love willows, and some people love peaches and plums, each with its own reasons. I should like bamboo better. As for the reasons why I like it, I'm sure I can learn from books. Love is a deep feeling of self and a part of the soul. The so-called materialization of the heart, the heart is immortal, there must be things, and the feelings are endless.
Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, has never been greedy for power or beauty in his life, and likes to paint strange rocks, orchids and mangosteen. Moreover, whenever bamboo is painted, poems should be inscribed on it, and the combination of poetry and painting, culture and bamboo can be called the first person to paint bamboo through the ages. No one can compare, and no one dares to compare. I saw bamboo for the first time, regardless of its size, thickness, shape and appearance. One pole stands upright, the bamboo joints are distinct, the three leaves become branches, and the four seasons are evergreen. Why draw bamboo? Painting bamboo on the Banqiao is definitely not because bamboo is easy to paint, but because it is really impressed by the quality of bamboo, and bamboo is the most important, proud and expensive. That's why he sang the poem "I insist on green hills and never relax, but my roots are in broken rocks".
Su Dongpo, a great writer, is brilliant, and his song "Great River East Goes to Wan Qing Wave, Romantic Man of the Ages" is heroic and inspirational, which can be compared with the swan song of the Three Kingdoms. In memory of his wife, he wept bitterly and wrote, "I dreamed of coming to my hometown at night and dressing in Xiao Xuan", full of twists and turns. That Dongpo is a famous meat eater, often lamenting that no meat is not fragrant, so he also invented a Dongpo meat dish with a unique taste, which was popular all over the country for a while. A celebrity is a celebrity. It's hard not to remember him. For thousands of years, people have gathered at the dinner table, with delicious food and long recipes, and never forget Dongpo's elbow. Studying at school, up and down for 5 thousand years, Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, and opening Tang poetry and Song poetry, Dongpo's poetry is absolutely indispensable. It is such a great scholar who "would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo"! Why are you so persistent? Because "no meat makes people thin, no bamboo makes people vulgar." Such knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
? As for the "seven sages of bamboo forest", each one is more bizarre than the other, and I can't help laughing when I think of it. Let's take Ruan Xian as an example. It is rainy in summer and humid indoors. When people hang clothes on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, it gradually forms a custom. The rich get silks and satins, while the poor get rags. Ruan Xian is poorer, and has nothing but clothes with him. He saw that every household was tying ropes to dry clothes, thinking that he had nothing to dry, so he hung his big shorts in the yard with a bamboo pole. People asked him, and he said, if you dare not avoid custom, let's bask in it. Look at Liu Ling who is drunk. He is addicted to alcohol. When a guest visited him, he quipped, "I take heaven and earth as my home and my house as my underwear." Why are you in my pants? " No matter how grotesque and unusual these seven people are, one thing is strikingly the same, that is, they all like bamboo very much, which can be said to be like bamboo. They often gather in the depths of bamboo forests, bamboo forest tours, bamboo forest parties, bamboo forest parties, bamboo forest banquets, bamboo forest madness and bamboo forest songs. Open your chest and show your back, throw your shoes on the ground, no matter "the wind shakes the bamboo branches", you can say that "Yiyi is a gentleman".
? There is no ready-made road in the bamboo forest, so you can walk in if you want. The ground paved with falling bamboo leaves is soft to walk on. It was still hot outside the forest just now, but as soon as I entered the bamboo forest, it suddenly cooled down a lot, and the air was filled with bamboo fragrance, which permeated the whole body. A breeze, through the layers of bamboo forests, came the melodious sound of natural bamboo. At the end of the song "Fish and Wood Question and Answer", "Autumn Moon in Han Palace" began to sing and dance. Listen, all of a sudden, nearly half of the top ten musical instruments in ancient China were made of bamboo. Xiao, Di, Sheng and Hu are all among them. In addition, there are bamboo boards, bamboo harps, bamboo springs and bamboo sticks. The names in musical instruments with bamboo characters next to them are probably all related to bamboo. Therefore, this bamboo seems to be born for music. Can I say this: a bosom friend is a bamboo.
I just sat down and leaned against the bamboo tree, secretly asking myself, who knows me and why?
