The full text of Zhu Ziqing's prose "Green"

·Zhu Ziqing·When I went to Xianyan for the second time, I was surprised by how green Meiyutan was. Meiyutan is a waterfall pool. There are three waterfalls in Xian Waterfall, with Meiyu Waterfall being the lowest. When I walked to the edge of the mountain, I heard the sound of flowers. When I raised my head, a strip of white and shiny water appeared in front of me, embedded in two wet black edges. We first went to Meiyu Pavilion. The Meiyu Pavilion is facing the waterfall; sitting by the pavilion, you can see the entire waterfall without raising your head. Deep under the pavilion is the Meiyu Lake. This pavilion stands on a protruding corner of the rock, and is empty from top to bottom; as if a goshawk is floating in the sky with its wings spread. There are mountains on three sides, like half a ring surrounding it; people feel like they are at the bottom of a well. It's an overcast autumn day. Slight clouds flowed above us; the rock faces and grasses all revealed a bit of greenery from the moisture. And the waterfall seemed to be particularly loud. The waterfall rushed down from above, as if it had been torn into several large and small strands; it was no longer a neat and smooth cloth. There are many edges and corners on the rock; when the waterfall passes by, it makes a sharp impact and splashes like flying flowers and broken jade. The splash of water was crystal clear and multi-awned; looking from a distance, they looked like one after another small white plum blossoms, falling one after another like a light rain. It is said that this is why Meiyu Lake got its name. But I think it is more accurate like Yang Hua. When the breeze picks up, the little bits drift away with the wind, and they are even more poplar flowers. ——At this time, something happened to be sent into our warm embrace, and then it quickly got in, and could no longer find it. The shimmering green of Meiyu Lake attracts us; we begin to chase her divine light of separation and separation. Holding on to the grass and rocks, I carefully leaned down, bowed through a stone dome door, and arrived at the edge of the clear blue pool. The waterfall is between the sleeves; but there is no waterfall in my heart. My heart swayed with the green of the pool. The intoxicating green is like a huge lotus leaf, full of strange green. I wanted to open my arms and hug her; but what a delusion this was. --Standing by the water, looking over there, it actually feels a bit far away! This flat, thick green is really lovely. She is loosely wrinkled, like a young woman's trailing skirt; she is playing with it gently, like the beating heart of a virgin in first love; she is smooth and bright, as if she has been coated with "varnish", with eggs. It's so soft and tender, making you think of the tenderest skin you've ever touched; it's not mixed with any traces, just like a piece of warm jasper, with only one clear color - but you can't see through her. ! I once saw the green poplar trees in Shichahai, Beijing, but they couldn't get rid of the goose-yellow color, which seemed too light. I once saw the tall and dense "green wall" next to Hupao Temple in Hangzhou, with endless green grass and green leaves overlapping it, but it seemed too dense. For the rest, the waves in the West Lake are too bright, and the waves in the Qinhuai River are too dark. My dear, how can I compare you to you? How can I compare? Probably the pool is very deep, so it can contain such a strange green color; it is as if a piece of the blue sky has melted into it, making it so fresh and moist. --That intoxicating green! If I could cut you into a belt, I would give it to that light dancing girl; she would be able to float in the wind. If I could use you as an eye, I would give it to the blind girl who is good at singing; she will have bright eyes and good vision. I can't let you go; how can I let you go? I patted you and caressed you with my hands, like a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. I touched your entrance again and kissed her. I'll give you a name. I'll call you "Daughter Green" from now on, okay? When I went to Xianyan for the second time, I couldn't help but be surprised by how green Meiyutan was.
