Chapter 52 Watching the prosperity of the camphor tree fall, I think the happiest life is ordinary (50)

On a sunny morning, I went up the mountain with my lunch box. The purple hydrangeas are all over the sides of the mountain path, and countless small purple flowers, with a slight fragrance, meander from the front to the sky.Little purple flowers lead me to the pavilion located in the camphor forest. This simple and beautiful wooden octagonal pavilion is condescending, facing the lake reflecting white clouds and green mountains. It is my favorite place for lunch. Whenever I finish eating the delicious bento, I like to lie down in the gazebo with all my clothes on, watching "the stream is like blue, and the mountains are like fiery red".The warm sun in the south in early winter is basking in the body, and the whole body is very comfortable!The mountain breeze is blowing, and in the distance, the eagle spreads its wings and flies across the lake to the opposite bank, and does not return for a long time.

At this moment, the mountain wind blows bursts of refreshing fragrance, which is the unique fragrance of camphor tree, which makes people feel refreshed!I took a deep breath, feeling the fragrance in my chest cavity.In the early winter season, the camphor tree is still green. It is said that this kind of evergreen tree, after the new leaves grow in spring, the old leaves of last year begin to fall off, so it is evergreen in all seasons.Waiting for the arrival of early spring, the whole camphor tree will begin to bloom small yellow-green flowers, which will be even more fragrant. Taking advantage of the high winter sun, I set out to walk through this "small" camphor forest with thinning branches and leaves, thinking that the camphor trees in Taiwan's mountainous areas once became a forest with towering branches and leaves. Various camphor tree products were once an important export product of Taiwan. Feng, ranking first in the world, for more than half a century, Taiwan has been known as the "Kingdom of Camphor Trees".This kind of camphor tree, which is closely related to the lives of Taiwanese and once played an important role as an economic crop, has now changed with the times, some have become street trees, and some have become "leisure trees" to accompany climbers.If Zhang Shu knows, how should he view the change of his role?

For the camphor tree, although the prosperity of the world is gone and the seasons change, it is still evergreen and fragrant, isn't it?Then, must it be the most important position?In the same way, the fate of life rises and falls from time to time, sometimes in the waves of the world, sometimes on the top of a lonely peak, and the changes are always unpredictable. Outside the pavilion, the green hills are long, the purple flowers are beautiful, and the wild birds are singing over the mountains one after another.I think of a "Cold Mountain Poem": "Climbing the cold mountain road, the cold mountain road is endless. The stream is long and the stone is leilei, the stream is wide and the grass is misty. The slippery moss is not the rain, and the song of the pines is not the wind. Who can surpass the world and sit together Among the white clouds?" At this moment, on the silent mountain, I am the only one sitting in the pavilion, facing the green hills and looking at the purple flowers, how pleasant it is!For me, it is a real and profound happiness to live in the ordinary, ordinary, and peaceful moment.I believe the camphor tree must feel the same!
