? Reed likes water and sunshine, and grows mostly in swamps, shallows and lakeside canals. Both reeds and bamboos belong to the Gramineae, which are fond of being clustered, with developed roots and extremely fast growth, and can grow several centimeters or even a bundle a day. Reed grew from a little green when it broke ground in early spring to a green pond one or two meters high in a few days. There were waterfowl and wild ducks swimming in the pond, and frogs chirped in the reeds, so it was dry in summer.
Reed grows and takes shape in summer, and turns from soft to hard after the baptism in autumn. Reed leaves are light green in spring, green in summer and dark green in autumn. Reed stems are soft in spring, hard in summer and tough in autumn. In autumn, patches of reeds appeared on their heads, and patches of green reeds appeared. The heavy reed tidbits, with the wind, tilted their heads to one side and then fell to the other side. At dusk, a flock of birds landed on the reed tip, and the pressed reed swayed obliquely, and the branches and leaves rustled. Wild ducks quack in the reeds, waterfowl quack in the reeds, fish in the water, frogs in the water. What a nice long scroll painting of autumn pond wild interest ink!
That night, I didn't wake up in autumn. The weather is very cold, and the water is also very cold. Then there were no frogs, and the reeds took off their dark green summer clothes. A first frost covered reeds with pale yellow clothes, and winter came! In early winter, the pond covered with reeds was covered with yellow clothes, like soldiers with white feathers lined up neatly. When the wind blows gently, the feathered reeds turn up layers of waves. Just like ancient soldiers wearing armor with feathers on their heads, practicing formation and killing each other in different directions. The blown reed flowers, such as cotton wool, dance with the wind and fly away in the distant sky. The next year, a reed seed took root and sprouted in another place.
? I like the reeds in many movies I saw when I was a child, such as Yanling Guerrilla, Private Zhang Ga and Shajiabang. They all launched guerrilla warfare in the reeds, using the reeds as a cover, rowing boats to fight the devils and kill the enemy. That year, I specially drove to Baiyangdian to explore the reeds in childhood memories movies. At that glance, I saw the endless Baiyangdian Lake and large reeds. Guerrillas used to hide in reeds, and the devils couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. Gaz trapped the enemy in the water in Private Zhang Ga, and those scenes are still vivid today.
? My feelings for reeds are innate. When I was a child, Nantugou in the village was wet and watery all the year round, with lush reeds. In spring, cut tender reeds in the ditch and feed them to pigs; In summer, they hide and seek among reeds; In autumn, they fold reeds to weave hats and dig eggs; Cut it dry in the trench in winter and go home to cook. When I was a child, I used reeds to build houses and weave foils, woven kang mats with reeds, and swept the floor with reed brooms. In the past, cotton was scarce, so many people used reed scraps as cotton quilts to keep warm and soft pillows.
? Reed swamp is the habitat of waterfowl, and it is also a post for migratory birds from south to north. On weekdays, you can hear ducks chirping and birds singing in the reeds all year round, but you can't hear them in the dense reeds. That winter, I don't know whose naughty Xiong Haizi played with fire and lit the reed in front of Weihe Beach. The fire destroyed thousands of acres of reeds. As a result, thousands of waterfowl lost their homes, and countless waterfowl and wild ducks died in the fire. The following spring, reeds grew among the reeds, which seemed to be more lush than the previous year. As the saying goes: wildfires will not devour them, and the spring breeze will blow high.
? Reed is the best raw material for papermaking. Reed pulping and papermaking has a history of more than 2000 years. Rice paper made of reeds has fine and smooth texture and good softness and toughness. Reed pulping and papermaking is much cheaper than wood pulp papermaking, and paper is much smoother and more elastic than wood pulp papermaking.
Reed leaves are the irreplaceable best material for wrapping jiaozi, and reed leaves can eat the unique fragrance of vegetation. Dumpling leaves and dumplings also have medicinal effects, clearing away lung heat and quenching thirst, and clearing away heat and promoting fluid production. On the eve of Dragon Boat Festival this year, I also broke several reed leaves in the reed in front of Weihe Beach. Go home to wash, and learn to make zongzi for the first time the day before Dragon Boat Festival.
? In the warm sun in the early winter afternoon, I went to the pond in front of my house to see reeds. We see autumn and winter from spring and summer all the year round. The reed has lost its light green in spring, its luxuriance in summer and its maturity in autumn, and all that is left is yellow everywhere in winter. Only tall reeds have feathers and their branches are covered with reeds, which turn up white waves layer by layer with the wind. There are no birds singing in spring, frogs singing in summer and insects singing in autumn in the pond. Only Western jackdaw in the west swims on the water in early winter. The rustling of reed branches and leaves in the wind made wild ducks fly and hit the feathers and flowers of reed. Winter is coming!
? In winter, among the reeds in the pond, are the aunts of those online celebrities, and their figures are restless. Wearing red cloaks and pink scarves, they photographed all kinds of movements from early spring to late winter in the reed jungle.
? I love reeds, life is like reeds, and they are green every spring. Years are like spring and summer, and reed flowers bloom in autumn and winter, like poems, songs and fog. Fate flies like a tidbit, and home is where it falls. I like reeds, such as lotus flowers, which are unbranched, straight through, muddy but not stained, clear but not evil. I respect the character of reeds very much. They are all firm, not attached or crawling. Although slender, they all stand in shallow ponds and water, immortal and immortal for life. Even if winter withers, it will not wither, and next spring will be a new green.
Be like a reed, never cling to others, even if you die, you will not rot and be immortal.
