When it comes to the courtyard, it always reminds people of the popular poem: "The courtyard is a little deep, the willows are full of smoke, and the curtains are not repeated." ”
This is Ouyang Xiu's courtyard, deep and mysterious, like a painting, left in the minds of Chinese, making people have infinite yearning and admiration.
In everyone's heart, there may be a dream of courtyard life, which is the nostalgia for a way of life that is gradually moving away from us, and it is also the desire to find a piece of tranquility in the busy city.
In the pen of Chinese literati, those exquisite courtyards are always depicted as picturesque, which makes many people yearn for it.
A small courtyard is full of endless poetry and picturesqueness.
- When the falling flowers are colorful, they pounce on the curtain;
- When the raindrops hit the plantain leaves, they make a crisp sound;
- When drinking alone among the flowers, the moon sinks and groans.
We can deeply feel the elegance of the literati carried by the courtyard.
In our memories, we also have our own courtyard time. It was a sunny summer night, a few bamboo chairs, gently swaying fans, and the laughter of children was as crisp as silver bells, with the chirping of night insects, which continued to the moontip.
And in the cold winter wax moon, the fallen leaves fall silently, the lights and shadows are as yellow as beans, and the steaming tea smoke sways under the reflection of the fire, and the warmth reaches the heart.
In such a small courtyard, plant flowers and grass, enjoy the joy of art and culture, and enjoy the change of the four seasons and the beautiful scenery of good days, how rich life is.
1. Idle planting of flowers and plants, the world is happy
People who own a yard always know how to please themselves. They carefully planted all kinds of flowers and plants in the yard, from watching the leaf buds sprout in the morning light, to lighting candles in the twilight to illuminate the red makeup.
They watch the flowers bloom and fall, and the clouds roll around, and this affection can only be experienced by those who truly love flowers.
The vegetation in this courtyard is not only pleasing to oneself, but also to others.
As Wang Zengqi said in "Grass and Trees in the World": "If you come to visit me and I am not there, please sit with the flowers outside my door for a while, they are very warm." ”
Chinese's feelings for plants and trees are unique in the world, and a pine, a few iris, and a little flowers and trees can form a world far away from the mountains and forests.
Second, the small courtyard with bright windows, free to paint
In the secluded Geling Mountain, there is a small courtyard called Shuangguixuan. In the distance, there is a beautiful view of the West Lake, and in the near distance, there is a pleasant courtyard scenery.
There is heaven and earth in the courtyard, and the courtyard is a clean room.
On the case, there are four treasures such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and on the shelf, there are elegant items such as furnaces, bottles, gold, and stones.
In addition, there is a beautiful scroll hanging on the wall, a Buddha statue is quietly enshrined aside, and a line of sandalwood incense rises.
Here, people can calm down and taste the fragrance of Hanmo and enjoy the fun of amusement; You can also insert a branch of Nantianzhu to reward the painting.
When the sun is falling, the twilight scenery outside the window is even more provocative.
At night, the artistic conception of "the mountains and fruits falling in the rain, and the grass and insects chirping under the lamp" make people feel endless luxury and tranquility, far better than the hustle and bustle of the urban jungle.
3. Leisure and self-sufficiency to enjoy the scenery of the four seasons
Zen Master Huikai of the Song Dynasty once wrote a popular poem: "There are hundreds of flowers in spring, there is a moon in autumn, there is a cool breeze in summer, and there is snow in winter." If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world. ”
This poem expresses the state of mind of the person who owns a courtyard.
They know how to look for time in a hurried day, and they know how to appreciate a rock, a piece of wreckage, even a flower path and a few points of greenery.
This kind of relaxed and self-sufficient state of mind probably originated from Lao Zhuang's philosophical thoughts, which have comforted the hearts of countless people for thousands of years.
One courtyard is a small world, which accommodates the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter and the scenery of the four seasons in the world.
Here, people can touch the time by the window, breathe in the fragrance of flowers under the eaves, and see the change of seasons.
"The pear blossom courtyard dissolves the moon, and the catkins pond has a faint wind." I hope that everyone can find their own piece of pure land in the complicated world - that side of the quiet and tranquil courtyard.
Here we can listen to the sound of the snow falling, wait for the return of spring, and enjoy a comfortable and peaceful life, even when everything is disturbing, we can maintain peace and self-sufficiency.
