There are three different kinds of souls in the biological world. Plant soul. Animal souls, human souls, and where do plant souls grow? There are 54 huge banyan trees growing on the river bank about 1,000 kilometers from Yintang Village to Tonglu Village along the cliff of Duliu River in Guizhou Province. These trees have root systems with each other. The branches and leaves are connected to each other, countless aerial roots hang down, the huge trunk is higher than the ground, and many fine branches and leaves extend out in all directions. These trees are calm and steady: unwavering and untouched by man-made damage. They are like huge green umbrellas proudly spread out on the river embankment. When the storm comes, there is a joyful wildness, and every leaf dances wildly in the wind. According to local elders, these banyan trees were probably planted during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. They have been protecting the residents of the surrounding villages for more than 300 years and are the "Feng Shui Forest" that people have believed in for generations. Every midsummer, there are naughty children walking barefoot on the horizontally extending branches. There are also younger children playing in the tree holes. The elderly enjoy the cool under the pleasant shade of the trees, and the women sit around embroidering and spinning. Travelers from outside can sit quietly under the big tree hour after hour, thinking about nothing, just listening to the quiet and gentle sound of the breeze passing through the branches and leaves. At this moment, all the selfishness in daily life has disappeared, except that you are "selfless". Even the most cynical lonely people and the most melancholy people are no exception. .
Every year after the first rain in early summer, the mountains are so green that Yunnan people go to the mountains to pick up fungi. The forest rangers who work on the mountain all year round seem to have been pruning those redundant branches and shrubs all their lives. In the morning when it has rained and there is a fairy spirit, when patrolling the mountain, they will put the fungi picked on the cliff on the stone steps so that the old ladies can pick them up. With the arrival of the abundant rainy season, the fungi on the plants and trees are popping out vigorously. The old farm lady with dazzling eyes was walking swiftly in the pine forest of the mountain stream, carrying a big bamboo basket on her back. To pick up valuable fungi is definitely not an accident. You must not only rely on luck, but also understand the mountains and water and recognize the bacterial nests. Good mushroom nests grow from the ground, like leeks cut and resurrected. During the rainy season in the ancient city of Dali, you can almost see fresh boletus mushrooms placed at the entrance of every restaurant. During this time, boletus mushrooms are extremely crisp and tender. Cows usually grow under pine trees because If you touch it with your hand, it will immediately turn blue, hence the name. After frying, the fried greens are delicious and extremely tender. However, this kind of poisonous fungus requires a lot of garlic when fried, and it must be fried thoroughly. It is like the puffer fish among mushrooms. It is said that if you eat it without frying it, you will see blue hands and hallucinations. Women who live in the mountains of Guizhou use plants growing in the mountains as dyes to make exquisite clothes. They also like to use certain kinds of tea. Oil is used to clean hair. In Yunnan, wild narcotic plants can be seen growing everywhere. People use it to seek a temporary out-of-body state. In the preface of the printing, this plant is called qania, which is a symbol of destruction. The god is worshiped by followers of Shiva. Nima Duogui, an artist who lives in the ancient city of Dali, planted many mandalas in his lush garden. They are important plants for making analgesics and anesthetics: lotus likes to grow in water, and absinthia likes to grow in water. In the ravine areas, honeysuckle can soothe the throat, nutmeg is a very effective laxative, hydrangeas can bloom from spring to summer, and dandelions with strong vitality are herbaceous plants approved by the Food and Drug Administration and can be made into Dandelion coffee contains caffeine, and its flowers can also be used to brew dandelion wine.
There are three different kinds of souls in the biological world. Plant souls, animal souls, and human souls. Where does the soul of plants grow? 7 The ancient Greek philosopher Theophrastus concluded after research that the soul of plants exists at the connection between roots and stems. To us humans, these are some hidden areas. In order to find the order of the plant world, Theophrastus carefully observed and compared plants, collected a large amount of information, and divided them into several categories: trees, shrubs, subshrubs, and herbs. It can be said that he was the first person to devote himself to the cause of naming plants. key figures.
There are various kinds of plants on the earth we live on. Certain characteristics of plants, especially trees, are precisely the most valuable, and they have therefore become the best teachers of mankind. That is its "grow up slowly", growth can only be slow, and there is no shortcut to patience. It’s the nature of plants.
Most of us are afraid of being alone, but if you think about it, no one is lonelier than an oak tree, no one is lonelier than a dandelion blowing in the wind in a field, and no one is lonelier than a cactus in the desert.
Philosophy can always provide a foundation for the exploration of plants, animals, or people. When trees form groups and form endless forests, we respect them. When they are alone, we should respect them even more. They seem to be a lonely person, but not a hermit born of some kind of fragility, but like some great and lonely people such as Beethoven, Van Gogh, and Nietzsche - the world is only noisy at their tops, and Their roots are deep in infinity. Trees strive with all their vitality to become unique, to realize their own laws, to enrich their own image, and to express themselves. The stability and firmness of trees do not mean that they have beliefs or adhere to certain dogma. A free heart does not need these.
Nature is an integral part of human landscape. They should be recognized and described. People who learn the survival philosophy of trees should always maintain a humble attitude. Various substances in nature will learn about each other. Talk softly and seek its knowledge, clouds and mountains, lakes and water birds, trees and soil, strong winds and heavy rains - if people's hearts are quiet, they can establish an intimate relationship with them and talk to them, and they can also learn from them. The meaning of life. It is human nature to care for plants. However, today we see more and more trees being cut down. People are gradually entering the forest in order to build houses, open up golf courses, and manufacture various furniture. In addition to the reduction in the number of trees, the black bears, elephants, wild deer and other wild animals that used to live in the deep forests gradually disappeared. They had no fear at all. They were supposed to be the guardians of nature, and the beauty of the earth was being destroyed.
Living in this world, what is our purpose and what are our intentions? It is certain that most of the time, people do not care about praying for inner peace but have more practical desires. People always have The pitiful idea of ??finding hope elsewhere, our weakness and fragility, creates the sad streets of the city, the suffering grass and trees, and so many unhappy people who look happy. People living in noisy cities are faced with the same apartments, the same TV programs, fast food and work and rest schedules. It is not easy to find a little peace and quiet in the hustle and bustle. We have to get used to living far away from nature, and gradually forget about trees, birds, mountains and water, and the beauty of the earth. At most, people put on outdoor clothes, bring food and maps, and take a walk after a while (for example Say half a year or a few years), love the dear nature regularly. But no matter how much the world changes, no matter what miracles technology creates, our relationship with nature will never change—human beings are just nature's "pleasers."
Year after year, I don’t know if spring will come early this year. People are always eagerly looking forward to the arrival of this season. When the willow trees slowly sprout, the woods are shining with bright green light. , yellow birds fly over the mountains and sway on the branches, human beings are like sleepwalkers. Smelling the aroma of buds and the smell of fresh resin gives us the opportunity to clearly see, understand and experience the enlightenment of life and beauty. Such a simple experience, combined with nature's generous acceptance of everyone equally, makes people excited precisely because of the passion and ideal it embodies. Caring for nature is not only about saving our living environment, but more importantly, it is about repairing our own mental injuries.
