Notes on Spring Prose

Before the overwintering old leaves fall completely, the new buds can't wait to poke their heads out, and the spring of the new year comes when I least expect it.

I was stung all winter, waiting for the arrival of spring. At the moment, I can't stop. In the spring, I walk all the way with a simple bag on my back.

Early spring morning, with a chill, my city is also shrouded in a new mist. However, the eastern sky has obviously opened a gap, and a fresh wind is blowing, which indicates the arrival of good weather.

As soon as I entered the park gate, I learned the news of spring blossoms from the eyes of tourists. I even have a feeling of being late, and a happy wish to integrate into this thick spring scenery as soon as possible.

Birds in the forest have already received the message of spring. When I refused to go out because of the chilly spring, they sang spring in the thick or light morning fog.

In their long songs, the buds of spring finally unveiled their shyness and showed their beauty to the world. Red plums bloom one after another, and the shy flowers are so pure, so extraordinary and so breathtaking. Looking from a distance, it seems like a faint cloud flowing on the mountainside in early spring.

Purple leaf plum is unwilling to be lonely, with this increasingly warm spring breeze, revealing her white buds, as if with a beautiful voice, silently joined the chorus of this spring.

I can't help but speed up my steps and approach the blooming Merlin to see the famous red plum. Hongmei, also known as Chun Mei and Meihua, is a deciduous tree of Prunus in Rosaceae.

I wonder if there are any plums as red as blood. The plums in front of me are pink. Although there is no fragrant flower fragrance, the graceful figure is enough to please the eyes.

The lighter color is the flower of purple leaf plum, also known as red leaf plum, which is named after its purple leaves. It is a famous ornamental tree species.

Purple leaf plum and red plum belong to the same family and have similar habits. They all bloom in early spring, and the flowers are smaller than red plums, showing a regular five-star shape. Its core is purplish red, which finally affects the color of flowers and gives those whites a red charm.

Look at this sentimental color. Pink plums, white plums, green plums, and pine and cypress which are slightly yellow due to the sprouting of new branches are swaying and smearing in this huge park. Their posture suddenly enlivened the mountain.

Perhaps, sporadic flowers are unremarkable, but at this moment all the flowers are in full bloom, and there is a beautiful momentum that makes me have to approach them, appreciate them and praise them.

This is the leaf of purple leaf plum, and the dark red leaves reveal a dignified beauty. The flowering period of purple leaf plum is not long, but the dignified leaves will remain until late autumn.

Step by step, step by step. Enjoy the red plum and purple leaf plum, and then enter the begonia forest of the same family and different genus. Against the newly-grown lobules, the flowers of sessile begonia are so dazzling and clean. The yellow stamens stand proudly, and the bright red petals have a waxy texture. These three plants bloom first and then grow leaves. They are worthy of being messengers and pioneers of spring.

In Longtousi Park, there are weeping willows that just spit out their buds. Different from the north, the willows here will keep some green all winter, as if to add a touch of bright color to this monotonous winter. At this moment, those old leaves finally completed their mission and handed the branches to the new willow buds.

The red and white magnolia also tells the beauty of spring in its own language. Although the number of Magnolia here is small, it can't form the momentum of red plum, purple leaf plum and begonia, but its elegant temperament is unforgettable for a long time.

At noon, the long-lost sun finally emerged from the clouds, and the air was filled with the smell of sunshine. This generous gift was immediately responded by people, and the number of tourists in the park increased significantly. People go out of their homes, throw themselves into the embrace of nature and join the ranks of enjoying flowers in the spring. Although everyone is still wearing heavy winter clothes, the happy mood is like a flying bird.

Take a nap in the park and look at the scenery in front of you in a comfortable mood. Several Chinese Pulsatilla crowed among the flowers and pecked at something from time to time.

At this time, the garden has taken on another kind of scenery. Garden is an old park in Chongqing. Although it can't catch up with the atmosphere of Longtou Temple, it is very popular because it is located in a mature community, which is in sharp contrast with the quietness of Longtou Temple.

A spring flower show is being held here. All kinds of tulips attract many tourists and photographers. All kinds of cameras, video cameras, long guns and short guns went into battle. If it really doesn't work, they take out their mobile phones that can take pictures and want to keep this beautiful scenery. Of course, I won't miss this opportunity and join the filming crowd. With the "click" sound from the equipment, the scenery in front of us became a series of numbers and was preserved.

Spring is beautiful, and spring is budding. In the season, with the landing of spring rain, the meaning of spring will be more intense; Spring is also very short. When the wind and rain in early summer blow off petals, begonia is green, fat, red and thin, and cherry blossoms are everywhere, I wonder how many people will sigh that time flies and spring is fleeting. The ancients did this, and it still does today.

Then let's cherish this wonderful time and let our hearts fly freely in this beautiful spring.

I have seen fences, but I have never seen such a long and high fence.

I have seen a long and tall fence, but I have never seen a fence full of flowers.

Although this fence is also artificially built, it is full of vitality. As time goes on, it will become higher and denser. It will change color with the change of seasons, and always welcome tourists from all directions with a fresh look.

In Hong En Temple Forest Park in Chongqing, this long and high fence is covered with flowers.

Climbing more than 900 steep stone steps and walking along a quiet path, I finally saw the spring scenery in the garden.

Hong 'en Temple Forest Park is a park with osmanthus culture as its theme. Tens of thousands of osmanthus trees of various varieties have been planted in the park, but there are also many other plants. At the moment when spring flowers are in full bloom, the whole park is beautifully decorated with pink plums, white plums, bright red begonia and red and white magnolia flowers.

The climate in spring is unpredictable, with alternating rain and shine. It even rained a few drops when I went out in the morning. However, when I reached the top of the mountain and was in the sea of flowers, I found that the sun had emerged from the cracks in the clouds.

Maybe it's because I am closer to the sky. I feel warm in my body, and the flowers in front of me are more beautiful in a short time.

Walking slowly along this flower path, listening to the whispers of birds and bees, imagine yourself as a fish walking through the sea of flowers, and every gesture will sweep up the air mass and water waves with the fragrance of flowers. Leaves with different colors that germinate after flowering grow rapidly in the slightly cold air this spring and will soon become the protagonists of the branches.

I remember when I first came here, I had a strong interest in this hedge. I didn't know what plant this fence was made of at that time. But now I know that this unusual fence is made of branches of begonia longipedunculata. No, it should be said that it was planted with branches of begonia longipedunculata. The hard-core branches look so strong that they are really suitable for flower fences.

At the moment, the hedge is dotted with red flowers, attracting a few bees to buzz through. This fence full of flowers has become a scene of Hong 'en Temple. Standing in front of this high fence, I can't help feeling excited and imagining.

Begonia sessilifolia is a plant of Chaenomeles in Rosaceae. Its pedicel is very short, and the flowers cling to the branches, so it is named sessile begonia. Its flowers are fresh, rich and dazzling, which is one of the main spring flowers and trees in the garden. It can be planted as a single flower border in the garden, as a row of flower fences, and as a potted plant. Its fruit is called wrinkled papaya, which is referred to as papaya when used as Chinese herbal medicine. It is one of the rare fruits unique to China, and has high medicinal and edible value.

The common name of sessile begonia originates from Qunfangpu in the Ming Dynasty, which records: "There are four kinds of begonia, all of which are woody, namely, Xifu begonia, Petunia begonia, Papaya begonia and sessile begonia."

In fact, begonia sessilifolia and begonia papaya belong to the genus Papaya. Unlike Begonia Xifu and Begonia, it can be directly called Begonia or Begonia Flower. When calling, you must add a property to show the difference.

Walking down from Hongding Road, wandering in the quiet mountain path, let go of your emotions.

The magnolia trees in front of me attracted my attention, and I couldn't help standing down and aiming at them. Magnolia, also known as magnolia, rose bud and magnolia, is a deciduous tree of Magnolia in Magnoliaceae.

Magnolia looks like a lotus flower. When in full bloom, its petals spread in all directions, white and red, which are very beautiful and have high ornamental value. The flowering period of Magnolia grandiflora is very short, only about ten days from budding to dying. When the green leaves germinate, the petals as white as snow fall gently. Of course, Magnolia grandiflora has a longer flowering period. After the green leaves germinate, the red and white flowers look more beautiful against the leaves. Throughout the ages, countless scholars have written many well-known masterpieces on the topic of Magnolia. Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty said, "I'm tired of smearing jade with vermicelli/as light as a golden knife to chop Xia Zi/from now on, I want to add a girl flower to my dream." The poet compared Mulan to Mulan who joined the army for her father.

Ding Xiong of Ming Dynasty said:

"Magnolia snow is the embryo and fragrance is the marrow", which praises the purity and nobility of Magnolia.

Poems by Zhao Zhixin in Qing Dynasty;

"The pool is full of yellow flowers/bitter is a cup of heart/so high and so white as snow/year after year, it is a battle." Praise magnolia for her fearless and tenacious fighting spirit.

Mr. Lu Xun once praised the resolute character of Yulan, which is "frozen on the earth and a hundred flowers blossom".

A burst of indescribable emotion came to my mind, and all the scenery in front of me was put into my camera.

Where there are mountains, there must be water, and water makes the mountains more obvious. Hong 'en Temple Forest Park is a mountain park. The whole park is built on the hill. The pond here is not big, but it adds a touch of bright color to the park, which is more harmonious and beautiful. At this time, the graceful weeping willows have sprouted. On the slender branches, the buds danced with the wind. I think they are singing their own songs.

Although it is silent.

Oh, no, it's their song. All the plants here are singing the song of welcoming spring. That song is audible. Let's calm down and listen carefully. You will hear this beautiful melody. ...
