After the long winter, the first month entered February, and a strong wind blew from the south, which quickly pushed the temperature to the peak. On April 1 day (February 13 of the lunar calendar), before Tomb-Sweeping Day, due to the convergence of cold and warm air, a big spring rain finally came in the long-term brewing and anticipation. The letter from the distant horizon used her heavy voice to awaken the dream of spring.
I remember seeing such a couplet more than 20 years ago: "Jade is hidden in winter snow and gold is born in spring rain". It is more appropriate to use this couplet to describe the winter precipitation in southwestern Shandong, eastern Henan and central and southern Hebei. Although it is located in the north, the temperature has increased year by year in recent years, and the precipitation is getting less and less. The heavy snow and the howling north wind became childhood memories.
From the end of autumn sowing last year to winter, the temperature is higher than in previous years, and it has been a warm winter. According to relevant forecasts, there is no effective precipitation in the Central Plains for more than six months, and the lowest temperature in a winter is often between MINUS 2 and 3 degrees Celsius and 4 and 5 degrees Celsius, and sometimes even around zero. Due to the long-term water shortage, the land tends to be dry in a large area, the groundwater is also declining, and the pits and ponds are dried up. In some places, it is difficult for farmers to use water for eating and irrigate the land, and the farmland is in urgent need of supplementary rainwater irrigation. Exactly: time flies, and the beautiful image of "beauty" can't wait. Looking at most areas in the south, it has been raining and snowing since winter, with more freezing rain. Farmers in the north are eager to see the rain, and they can only sigh at the sky. To this end, I also wrote a poem "Looking forward to rain":
It doesn't snow in winter, and it seldom rains in spring/the earth has been dry for a long time/the seedlings are shriveled/the farmers frown/look forward to it/sigh ... without rain, the air will be dirty/there will be no rain, the dry fields will lose enough vitality/there will be no rain, the world can't follow normal logic/there will be no rain, and life will be short of beauty!
Waiting for rain, thinking about rain, expecting rain.
I just hope that God will not be stingy.
I can install the plow I want to start.
Sow the seeds of hope
Put the harvest fruit
Born in a vast land ...
Second, fall asleep with the sound of rain.
On March 3 1 day, at 8 am after breakfast, layers of rain clouds blocked the sun's rays. After a while, a ray of rain began to fall in the gray sky, and the scenery far and near was shrouded in mist and rain. Spring rain is like a "beauty", singing and dancing lightly, slowly falling to the earth and wetting the earth. Because of the power failure during the day, I can't go online to do the copy, so I put aside all trivial matters and sit quietly under the corridor of the main room to watch the rain, watch the beautiful posture of the rain and listen to the beautiful melody like nature. Tick-tock, tick-tock, slow and urgent, like a string plucked by a beauty, with distinct rhythm and a sense of rhythm. ...
The spring rain kept falling, the raindrops hit the petals, and the flowers bowed their heads shyly; After hitting the grass, the grass stands on a very strong waist; Hit the concrete floor, splashing a beautiful little splash, just like radio waves spreading and conducting; Shure has countless small blisters, just like a crystal ball scurrying about on the ground and like a hovercraft floating on the water. Looking from a distance, I saw the rain flowing down the branches, forming a string of watery notes. On the withered branches of trees, a touch of green is faintly revealed, and the grass is full of vitality, weaving a green "dream" at the beginning of tension. ...
There are many beautiful chapters and famous sentences describing the rain of the four seasons in history. Rainbow Wei, an empty mountain after the rain, stands in the autumn night. Moonlight in the pine forest, stones glittering and translucent in the stream ",Liu Yong's" drizzly dusk rain sprinkled on the river, a wash of clear autumn. " The bleak frost wind is tight, the river surface of the mountains and rivers is deserted, and the setting sun shines on the tall buildings. Red flowers wither everywhere, and all the beautiful scenery gradually disappears. Only the Yangtze River water, speechless east flow ",Li Qingzhao's" Indus is even more raining, until dusk, dribs and drabs. This time, what a sad sentence! "Between the lines, there is a kind of fortitude, coldness, tragic and heroic, which makes people pay some respect from the heart. Spring rain, because of its exquisite and wonderful rhythm, nourishes people. Compared with autumn rain, it may give people more shock and penetration. Sometimes, she sings like a shy girl, so she is also the favorite of scholars of all ages. For example, famous sentences such as "The rain in Tianjie is as smooth as crisp", "Good rain knows the season, and it happens in spring" and "Spring Rain with apricot blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River", from Han Yu to Du Fu, or Yu Ji in the Song Dynasty, all expressed subtle praise for the spring rain.
As Lu You wrote in "The Spring Rain in Lin 'an Begins": "The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot flowers." In the evening, the spring rain, like the opening drama, beat gongs and drums twice, becoming more and more urgent and fierce. With the rain brushing, I gradually fell asleep. 10: 30, I was awakened by the rumble of thunder. At this time, lightning and thunder thundered all night and it rained heavily. Listening to the vibration of raindrops knocking on the roof is like a gust of seven winds and galloping hooves, and the rushing rain rushes to my ears. ...
It changed after three rains.
At 5 o'clock the next morning, the spring rain that was tired all night was willing to stop. As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil". According to Shandong news media (post-Central News Network), the rainfall in most counties and cities in the province is above 25-50 mm, and that in many counties and cities in southwestern Shandong is between 80- 100 mm. This spring rain is the largest precipitation in the same period in the history of more than 60 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Get up early after the rain clears. Under the blue sky, it looks particularly fresh and clean after being washed by the rain. In the past, there was no dust in the air and the smog phenomenon was swept away. Previously, the temperature soared to 256 degrees continuously, giving people a feeling of stepping into a hot summer day. After the rain, the highest temperature during the day dropped to single digits, almost to freezing point, and the weather really strode back to the frost day in winter like a roller coaster. Looking at people's psychology and external expressions, it is no longer a sad face, a sigh, showing a little helpless sadness, and not raising a white flag. Nowadays, everyone is very happy and happy. No matter villages, fields, trees, flowers and plants, they all present a beautiful scene of fragrance and green. The songs of frogs and birds came from my ears, especially the wheat in the farmland, which looked like tendons.
Looking at everything in the world, nothing is static, and it is always derived from fission. In particular, natural phenomena are changeable and changeable, and they are unexpected and unpredictable. Just as the weather is sunny and cold, the sun and the moon have gains and losses, the mountains have ups and downs, the water is stable and fluctuating, the market is high and low, life has prosperity and adversity, and home has joy and pain ... This is the eternal law. This reminds me of a lyric in the early 1970s, a Beijing opera "Harbour": "It's sunny and cold, and there are snakes and scorpions in a hundred gardens ..." This seemingly ordinary sentence contains a philosophy of life. Isn't it? It was a sunny day, but suddenly it changed and it rained cats and dogs; Sometimes, the goods sell well and the prices are rising, but suddenly the market is depressed and the blood is gone; The sun and the moon shine brilliantly, but they are often sunny and round, or partial eclipse and total lunar eclipse are dull; Life has ups and downs, or it lacks the nourishment of rain and dew, so we can't surpass our dreams for a while, so we can only bend over and wander in the trough. ...
I remember an article saying, "Everyone is writing his own history with what he has done. It seems that the climate is the same, and human beings are changing our living environment with their own pursuits. When we sit in a room with comfortable temperature, when we drive, when we enjoy the convenience brought by high technology, the comfortable environment has made us numb to the price we pay. " Similarly, the stage of life is full of unpredictable events. An accidental conversation and a chance encounter may lay the foundation for a person's future success or failure. However, at all times, we must believe that only by persistence will we finally get the moisture of rain and dew. In the hidden adventures and accidental encounters or unfortunate changes on the road of life, all kinds of ups and downs are predicted, which depends on people's wisdom to identify, use and avoid. Sometimes such miracles happen in life. The bad things that people want to escape most often become the way to get rid of them: in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Gu was arrested and imprisoned for writing Hanshu at home and being falsely accused of privately changing national history. His younger brother Ban Chao appealed for him. After reviewing it personally, Emperor Han Ming found that Ban Gu was very talented, so he released her and appointed her as an envoy to continue writing Hanshu. Innocent people are falsely imprisoned, but it is a blessing in disguise. Like this, it's about the same as a long drought.
