The yard, for Chinese, is not only a living space, but also a deep emotional sustenance. It is not only the abode of the body, but also the harbor of the soul, carrying our love for life, awe of nature, and attachment to home.
In China's ancient cultural tradition, the courtyard is always closely connected with poetry, nature, and the warmth of home. It is like a mirror, reflecting our innermost yearning and pursuit.
"The knot is in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses."
In the hustle and bustle of urban life, our hearts often yearn for the quiet courtyard, which has become a luxury desire in the hearts of modern urbanites, a haven to escape from the hustle and bustle of life.
01. Poetic dwelling: the four seasons change, enjoy it
"The eaves behind the elm willow shade, in front of the Taoli Luo Hall."
This is not just a poem, but also a beautiful vision of courtyard life for Chinese. Imagine the changing scenery in the courtyard as the seasons change, with flowers blooming in spring, trees in summer, golden in autumn, and snowy in winter.
In spring, the tender green lawn is dotted with colorful flowers, as if it is the most delicate tapestry of nature. A pot of spring tea, accompanied by fresh air, makes people indulge in the warmth and vitality of this spring.
In summer, the big trees in the courtyard shed shade, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot summer day. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the stone table, the family sat together, tasting the cool melons and fruits, and enjoying the tranquility and leisure of summer.
In autumn, the courtyard is dyed with autumn colors and picturesque, and every fallen leaf seems to tell the story of the years.
At this time, a pot of hot chrysanthemum tea, accompanied by the rustle of falling leaves, makes people feel the tranquility and profundity of autumn.
In winter, the courtyard is covered in a layer of white snow, like a fairy tale. The family sat around the warm fire, boiled a pot of hot tea, chatted about homely food, and enjoyed the warmth and tranquility of winter.
And in this quiet courtyard, life has become more delicate and rich. In the morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine through the curtains on the bed, the warmth and light dispel all sleepiness and exhaustion.
Pushing open the window, the fresh air mixed with the fragrance of flowers comes to the nose, as if it is the most gentle embrace of nature. In such an environment, every ordinary day becomes poetic.
02. Tea tasting and enlightenment: the fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the soul is cleansed
"The tea smoke curls in the south of the Yangtze River, and the bamboo leaves flutter in the north wind." In the courtyard, tea tasting is not only a way of life, but also a spiritual practice.
Sitting alone under the moss-growing wooden window, boiling a pot of tea, watching the tea leaves slowly stretch in the boiling water, smelling the fragrance of tea, refreshing people's hearts.
At this moment, it seems that time has stood still, and only the fragrance of tea and the heart are in dialogue.
In the process of tasting tea, we are also savoring life. Tea has a thousand tastes, and life has a thousand flavors. Every sip of tea is like a microcosm of life, with bitter and sweet, strong and light.
In the process of tasting tea, we also gradually realized the true meaning of life: not the pursuit of material abundance, but the pursuit of inner peace and satisfaction.
03. Idle life: pure and simple, enjoy the beauty
"I can laugh a few times in my life, and I must get drunk when I meet in a wine fight." In the courtyard, we can leave behind the troubles and shackles of the world and enjoy the leisure and ease of life to the fullest.
Whether it's reading, writing, drawing, planting flowers, raising fish, or teasing birds, you can find fun and satisfaction here.
And such an attitude to life also makes us cherish every moment in front of us even more.
Don't worry about how long the road is in the future, don't care about the gains and losses in the past, and only focus on the beauty and purity of the present. Such a life, although simple, is full of real happiness and joy.
04. The warmth of home: a safe haven, a spiritual home
"There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure; There is a courtyard in the house, such as an island. "The yard is not only an extension of home, but also a symbol of the warmth and happiness of home.
Here, we spend time with our families and share each other's joys and sorrows; Here, we feel the warmth and care of home; Here, we find a sense of belonging and security.
When night falls, the family sits around the courtyard lights and enjoys the joy of family life. Such scenes make people feel the warmth and happiness of home, and also make people cherish every moment with their families even more.
05. The destination of the soul: quiet and serene, the end of wandering
"This place of peace is my hometown."
For many people, the yard is not only a living space, but also a place for the soul and a spiritual sustenance.
"The corridor of the small courtyard is lonely in spring, and the bathing and flying herons are leisurely in the evening."
Here we can enjoy the beauty and gifts of nature; Here we can talk and communicate with our inner self; Here we can find the long-lost tranquility and serenity, and let our minds be completely relaxed and nourished.
In short, the yard has a special meaning and value for the Chinese. It is not only a living space, but also a place full of poetry, warmth and happiness.
In the end, I just want to say: I wish to have a small yard in this life, and spend the rest of my life with peace and warmth.
Here we can find the true meaning of life and the destination of our soul, and make our lives richer and more meaningful. In this life, I wish to have a small yard to spend the rest of my life with a warm companion, which may be the longing and yearning of many Chinese in their hearts!
