Winter in my hometown is foggy all day long, and the sun has to talk about fate. It can be said that it is cold from morning till night. The moisture in the air is almost palpable, and it is common for dehydrated clothes to be washed and dried for a month. However, this cloudy day is excellent for the skin, and the exposed face is always moist even if it is not hydrated. Probably because of Yulong Snow Mountain, there is always a biting cold wind blowing in Lijiang in winter. The wind bears the imprint of snow, takes away the moisture mercilessly and tears the fragile skin. All dry contact makes sparks fly, and the extremes of "day, summer, night and winter" are repeated every day, so it is no exaggeration to describe the winter in Lijiang with "bad". Not to mention the winter in the north, it must be the roots of fallen leaves, withered vegetation, boundless ice and snow, bleak and lifeless. Except those animals that sleep in winter, the process of expecting spring always seems extremely long.
If winter is compared to an old man who is dying, winter in Baoshan can be described as healthy and vigorous. Baoshan is located in the low latitude plateau, near the equator. There is no heat in summer and no cold in winter. Green plants and flowers are inseparable, and melons and fruits hang on trees for fragrance. Winter is as warm and comfortable as spring. Every day, the sun always comes on time with the energy accumulated at night. Either Wan Li is cloudless and refreshing, or the white clouds in the sky turn interesting. Except for a few tree species, such as walnuts, which will lose their leaves, the mountains do not change color and look like full of green; The trees outside the window are flourishing, and the leaves illuminated by the sun shine with the breeze; Facing the sunshine, walking towards Shan Ye, the wildflowers on the roadside are laughing, the birds on the trees are singing, the sky is clear and the vision is wide, which is refreshing.
It is generally not cold in winter in Baoshan, but there will be several days of frost in some places in the morning, so it varies from person to person. People who are afraid of cold will always try their best to find warmth. Keeping warm from the cold is human instinct and the happiest thing in winter.
If it is sunny and there is no cloud to keep the earth warm, it will be colder sooner or later. Looking for warmth every morning is like a smoker unconsciously holding a cigarette. At first, the light and thin sunshine was bright and dazzling. Although it has no temperature, it gives people great hope ―― the hard wait of dawn has turned into a "day". From soft as yarn to continuous as velvet, with the passage of time, the sense of body changes from weak to strong, and the posture of front, side and back changes like pancakes, so as to make the whole body heat evenly. In Baoshan, people call this pleasant and satisfying experience "sunbathing".
If there is no sun on a cloudy day or at sunset in the evening, the most interesting thing is that a group of people are sitting around the fire pond-warming themselves, talking casually, baking potatoes, sweet potatoes and sausages. Sometimes the fire suddenly "attacks" and explodes, and Mars splashes and makes a sloped sound; Under the action of baking, the food explodes and matures, emitting an attractive aroma; Sound and fragrance are mixed with people's laughter. Warmth spreads from the body to the bottom of my heart, and prosperity is also the meaning of happiness. For a native of Baoshan, not heating in winter is tantamount to not playing with snow in the north.
Shelley said: If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
In Baoshan, people don't need to look forward to the arrival of spring like Shelley, because winter is really not cold, and cold winter makes people feel shorter; In Baoshan, the symbol of winter is not ice, snow and heating, but blue sky and white clouds, brilliant cherry blossoms and warm sunshine. In Baoshan, the color of winter is neither hazy gray nor snowy white, but blue sky and colorful. As a new Baoshan person, I like this vibrant and joyful winter.
