Essays on banquet prose

Summer in the north is dry and sultry, especially after dusk. There is no wind, and the treetops hang quietly, as if thinking and sleeping. I came to my home in the city from the countryside just to enjoy the coolness of summer nights. The building goes straight into the sky, and the air flow at high altitude is turbulent. In the blink of an eye, the wind formed, cold and slippery. It flows from the south window to the north window, and from the north window to the south window, and goes forward from the living room, as if a pair of gentle hands had touched my whole body, and the irritability and sultry brought from the countryside suddenly disappeared.

After dinner, I took the elevator downstairs as usual and fell back to the ground. Walking in the community after dusk, the lawn is still bright green, and the flowers are greeted with smiles under the watering of the gardener. The lights in the community are on, as if the stars in the sky had fallen to the ground. The classic pine tree looks solemn and mysterious under the light, as if it were before the transplant of Huangshan pine. Looking up, it is as small as a frog in a well, sinking at the bottom of an abyss-like building complex; Under the decoration of lights, the towering roof looks like the Jade Emperor's Golden Que, magnificent, and like clusters of vigorous flames, it illuminates the night sky, and even the stars disappear without hesitation. Follow the sound of running water to the door of the community, and the fountain on the rockery gurgles and gurgles. Under the colorful lights, flying beads splash jade, like pearls and agates, gurgling out, bringing fairy-tale comfort and joy to people who spend the summer.

The street is full of lights and traffic. The billboards in the shops along the street are grotesque, colorful and constantly changing colors. Music is indispensable, loud or soothing, with the diners at the open-air barbecue table, creating a nightlife in modern cities. The night in the countryside is dark, lonely and boring; In the city, the night seems to be more lively than the day, just like a strong man who hasn't exhausted his strength during the day. On this cool summer night, he tries to dance the kangba dance after being drunk and hot. Take a few steps, escape from the boiling ocean in a hurry, and want to go to the park in front of the community for a quiet walk.

There is a small river ditch by the river. A few years ago, developers had a unique vision. While building residential buildings, they incorporated the development of riverside into the planning and design, creating the bright spots of residential areas and improving the living environment. Nowadays, as a model project of residential area construction in Cangzhou, Riverside Park provides a leisure place with pleasant scenery and beautiful environment for the citizens. On both sides of the winding river, trees are shaded and flowers bloom in spring and summer. The cement road covered with red sand is flat and wide, and the color is close to the human eye; The white cobblestone path is accompanied by the path by the river, winding through the green trees and flowers, appearing and disappearing. Strolling in the riverside park, the music permeates my ears. Spring jasmine, peach, apricot, cherry blossom, lotus, chrysanthemum and begonia are in full bloom according to seasons, as white as snow, as pink as chardonnay and as red as fire. Lilac Square, Tangxi Painting Boat, Chrysanthemum Terrace, Diequan Fan Ying, Wave Observation Deck, Xiuxin Pavilion, Xiaoyao Suspension Bridge and other unique design attractions are scattered on both sides of the river. By the river, rockeries and rocks are grotesque, green reeds sway in the breeze, and fish swim freely; The weeping willows by the river are graceful, just like a shy girl looking at the beautiful self-pity reflection in the river. Birds sing with flowers, and purple is purple. In the early morning or dusk, I wandered more than once, took out my mobile phone and took pictures again and again at low image speed, and chose the angle at will to make the light backlight. Every time I press the shutter, I capture a beautiful treasure. My friends once exclaimed that my photography skills were superb, and only I understood that it was a happy and picturesque life that opened the tip of the iceberg of beautiful Cangzhou for me.

Walk into Binjiang Park and join the leisure crowd at night. On both sides of the river, two-meter-high column light boxes illuminate the river and leisure people. People walk in twos and threes, or walk slowly, or laugh and laugh, or enjoy the walkman while walking. In the evening breeze in Xu Lai, the air quivered with a soft temperature, wrapped in the fragrance of flowers, grass, all kinds of ornamental trees, soil and moist air blowing from the river. On the gravel-paved riverside path, people let the protruding pebbles massage their feet; Among the willows and trees, young couples weave their love heartily. In front of me, there was a jumble of voices, like the music market, and I couldn't help speeding up my pace.

The nightlife in the city is rich and colorful, which is completely different from life in the countryside. Although most farmers now go to work in cities, broaden their horizons and bring new ideas and concepts home, and the gap between urban and rural areas is gradually narrowing, it still takes time for rural areas to live the same life as cities. Walking towards the noisy crowd, the familiar gongs and drums have the same rhythm and rhythm as those in my hometown, and the cymbals play an embellishment and foil role in the melody of dancing drums, just like red flowers and green leaves, leading role and supporting role. The two are combined into one, forming a perfect and harmonious whole, and generate gives a passionate and shocking voice. In the sound of gongs and drums, a dozen middle-aged women, armed with allegro, handkerchiefs or colored fans, dressed in skirts, moved lightly and twisted their waists, sometimes walking out of the circle and sometimes interspersed with flowers. Their excitement was written on everyone's face. In the evening, the citizens gathered around stopped to watch and praised again and again, which was very lively. It turned out that they were relocated households in the transformation of villages in the city, and rural people's gongs and drums and yangko settled down in the city together. Traditional gongs, drums and yangko are unforgettable.

Squeeze through the crowd and continue walking along the river. On the west gate square of the park, under the bright street lights, is another new world. Twenty or so young women, dressed in fashionable and glamorous clothes, lined up in a phalanx, danced in the soft and sweet songs of the Korean women's group, full of vigor, vitality and beautiful passion, just like a whirlwind of the times blowing on the ground on a summer night, filled with infinite youth and lit people's eyes. Surrounded by a sea of people, I couldn't help but stop and hold my neck and applaud the dance team with the beat.

The west end of the open Binjiang Park is a wide asphalt road with lanterns as bright as day. A stone bridge with a carved white marble fence straddles the river bank. On the spacious roadside, mighty middle-aged and elderly women lined up in two lines. In front of them are two elderly men, wearing white gloves and loose sportswear, walking slowly, with their arms outstretched, kicking their legs, their hips sideways, holding horizontally and stepping. Behind him, the long queue simulates and imitates, and every night, the compulsory course of aerobics for middle-aged and elderly people begins again! Fitness, a word that was far away yesterday, suddenly entered the corner of the city. The aerobics password in the speaker is loud and loud, and each paragraph is accompanied by a familiar song. Middle-aged and elderly people dance leisurely in the melody. Time and time again, the health index keeps rising in this long-lasting exercise.

Cross the bridge at the west end of the river and come to the south bank of the river. There is a modern white building at the entrance of the park, with clean bathrooms and bright windows. In Yingchun Square on the riverside, weeping willows are beautifully illuminated by the lights, making them feel ashamed. Walking and enjoying the night view of the river, suddenly a saxophone music came from the breeze. Looking inside, a middle-aged man is playing under the orange light and weeping willows, just like a silhouette embedded in a summer night. Several young men and women, sitting together, stared intently, deeply attracted by the sound of saxophone, and the sculpture did not move. I walked gently into the crowd and saw a speaker standing next to the performer, playing accompaniment music. He played the dispatcher's voice meticulously with his saxophone. Listen carefully, the two are seamless and integrated, as if the sound of saxophone flowed out of the speaker and sent into my eardrum. Then watch it, but it was played by the person in front of me. The slender fingers skillfully open and close and move, and the intoxicating melody flows out gently and quickly, nourishing people's thirsty hearts. On this sleepless summer night, music is like a breeze, driving away the dirt, distractions, troubles and melancholy in the listener's heart. Listening to intoxicating music is like being on a boat, rippling in front of the long river and sailing in the night. "Every time I walk past this coffee shop, I can't help but slow down. You and I met here for the first time, which opened the prelude to love each other. " Familiar melody and touching feelings set off waves of nostalgic ripples in saxophone's voice.

I have also become a sculpture, allowing my thoughts to spread in the night. On the other hand, the passionate square dance is still jumping, and the sonorous gongs and drums are still stirring the sleepless nights in summer. Those tireless middle-aged and elderly people continue to move slowly and gracefully in the loud singing of aerobics. The narrow square space, the interweaving of tradition and modernity, the fusion of East and West, and the rich and colorful art forms constitute a literary performance with vocal music and physical beauty, which vividly depicts the peaceful and harmonious prosperity of China.

The summer night in Cangzhou is a boiling ocean, which makes silence have nowhere to hide. Just like a sumptuous banquet, people feast their eyes and enjoy it for a long time.
