Bamboo Thoughts

Gao Hongbo

① Bamboo culture is unique to China. If we judge correctly, bamboo culture should complement Confucian culture. culture. In bamboo, Confucian scholars either saw temperament, character, or humility and humility. The "Three Friends of Suihan" is the most prominent example in this regard. Since then, pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms have become patterns that frequently appear on various utensils.

② Among Chinese literati, the one closest to Zhu Yu is Su Shi from Shu. His famous saying is, "It is better to eat without meat than live without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar." It revealed Su Dongpo's love for bamboo, and the grace of him holding the bamboo stick has since solidified into a "why not walk calmly and slowly" style. Without the bamboo forest around Su Dongpo, his charming charm would be greatly reduced.

③ The Bamboo Sea in southern Shu is located in Yibin. There are hundreds of acres of green bamboos growing along the mountains. It rises and falls like a sea, and its scale is like a rough sea. Especially when viewed from a high place, when the clouds and fog hit When I came, the momentum of the sea hit me even more, and the sound of waves seemed to be ringing in my ears. It would not be surprising if there were boats undulating with the green waves at this time.

④Dive into the bamboo sea and sink into the green sea at the same time. Breathe the lightly fragrant air and feel that the green oxygen is being input into your lungs, cleaning the city like a detergent. With your lungs struggling to open and close due to exhaust gas, you can almost instantly feel this precious gift of nature. The sweet taste flows through the larynx and trachea, to the limbs and bones, to the brain and every blood vessel and nerve. The eyes are filled with full green, making you feel like you are turning into a fish, walking along the moss-covered path. , Guan Zi swam deep into the bamboo forest.

⑤The bamboos in the bamboo sea are mainly thick Nanzhu, but there are also bitter bamboo, sweet bamboo, tortoise shell bamboo and human face bamboo. After chatting with a bamboo writer, I learned that there are male and female bamboos. Female bamboos produce shoots, while male bamboos do not. After further inquiry, I found out that each layer of bamboo is born from the first bamboo branch. If the bamboo branch is branched, it is a female bamboo, and if it is not branched, it is a male bamboo. It's just such a little distinction, simple, yet profound. I remember that I went to Anhui a few years ago and at a market where Dangshan pears were produced, I accidentally gained similar knowledge: Pears are like humans, and they are divided into male and female. The female pear is large, juicy and sweet, while the male pear is much inferior.

⑥Bamboos and pears are not only male and female, they may even have their own voices. I recently read "Reference News" and an article in the British "Times" entitled "Listen to the Voice of Plants" aroused my interest. The subtitle of the article is even better: "Picking Flowers, Crying, Picking Melons and Cucumbers Screaming", and this A scientific study carried out by the Institute of Applied Physics at the University of Bonn has shown that if equipped with suitable eavesdropping devices, they can distinguish between healthy and diseased vegetables. Meanwhile, scientists at the University of Bonn believe that plants don't just communicate pain and suffering to each other, just like people waiting in a hospital waiting room to see a doctor, they also remind each other of the dangers they face. Du Fu once said: "I feel the flowers splashing with tears when I feel the time, and hate the other birds." These two lines of poems unintentionally quoted the research of scientists from the University of Bonn a thousand years later. The poet is a special organ of nature. The greater and more outstanding the poet, the more beautiful he is. In this way, they can also listen to the sounds of nature when listening to their inner world. Otherwise, how could this coincidence come after a thousand years?

⑦ The bamboos in the bamboo sea in southern Sichuan are flourishing to the point of unscrupulousness, and they are magnanimous. The bamboo tribe growing up happily is indeed much luckier and happier than those similar species huddled in the corner like bonsai in the city courtyard.

⑧ Of course, they receive much less attention and even poetic caress. This is the price of freedom.

⑨The bamboos in the bamboo sea must have their own voices. The male and female bamboos will express their love to each other; the green bamboo shoots will call for rain and sunshine; the bamboo leaves will catch the wind on the bamboo branches. Swaying, shaking off the large dewdrops playfully; the bamboo roots under the soil will visit each other to say hello, and even remind each other: say hello, don't be busy blooming.

⑩As soon as the bamboo blooms, it means the end of life.

⑾Listen to the bamboo in the bamboo sea. A kind of elegance in life, but also an opportunity.
