Diary

When it rains, it’s already time to go to bed at night.

I saw it in the WeChat group, "It's raining, it's raining." But on the balcony, I couldn't see the rain.

I'm going to go downstairs and take a look outside, and take out the trash.

The rain is very small, but it is raining after all.

Happy spring night and rain! Everyone feels this way.

Because tomorrow is Qingming Festival. Is it God's will or coincidence?

I quickly told Motoko who had already gone to bed. He suddenly became excited and recited an ancient poem. It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival.

Yuanzi told me that Tomb-Sweeping Day is also the Cold Food Festival, so no meat or cold food should be eaten for three days, and no fire should be made.

I asked in surprise, how did you know about the Cold Food Festival? You know more about it than I do?

Motoko said that the teacher told them.

I really don’t know the relationship between Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival. I specifically searched it on Baidu, and it turns out that this is really the case. It is a custom that has been popular since ancient times. When the Qingming Festival came, it evolved into the current Qingming Festival.

It always rains during Qingming Festival. There are scientific explanations, but people just want to believe that this is God's will. This is also due to the poet sage, and pedestrians on the road want to die.

Visit the graves, sweep the tombs, and pay homage to the ancestors. Everyone is conventional.

It just so happened that I was reading "The Farmer" by the Polish writer Lemont during this time. Coincidentally, I happened to read a fragment describing the customs of people on All Souls' Day. He is indeed a world language master, with vivid images. I enjoyed reading it very much. I read it three times and still refused to turn the page.

First, it is like this abroad, but the memorial time is different from ours, but the mood and words at that moment were roughly the same. Of course, I don’t have the ability to describe it. I can only experience it over and over again. All over. "The entire village, including the people of the entire era, their deeds have disappeared without a trace as the era they lived in has moved away. There are only the rough and hoarse chirps of the fierce birds and the rustling of the branches in the wind. The cross has decayed and no one will come to pray, cry or light lamps.”

Second, it seems to be a habit. When I read a good book, I never want to finish it. I borrowed "Farmer" for a month, and when it expired, I had to go to the Wisdom Library to renew it.

However, even if I try my best to figure it out, I don’t have the ability to imitate it. At most, I can only follow an experience.

I read books just to find such an experience. It’s just that Lemont wrote “The Farmer” 100 years ago. This makes me even more impatient.

Didn’t some writers say so? People don’t travel when they run out. Sitting quietly and thinking is also travel. Anyone who explores, pursues, and touches those unknowable situations, whether it is customary or spiritual Yes, it’s all a kind of journey.

Reading needs to be done quietly, preferably without being disturbed.

Unfortunately, it is rare to have such time. Every day I am busy with trivial things, and trivial things seem to be very important, compared with studying.

Therefore, it is no longer very realistic to spend a lot of time reading. This is true.

Every day is as busy as a little bee.

During the Qingming Festival holiday, I didn’t plan to go out. I just read quietly and let my soul take a trip.

Outside the gate of the community, there is a hill not far away. It now has a nice name, Forest Park. All the trees in the park are artificially planted. In a few years, I believe it will be lush.

Motoko made an appointment with the neighbor’s children to go up the mountain and play game characters. Of course I enjoyed it.

In the forest park, the grass has just sprouted, and the only flowers that are about to bloom are locust trees, which cover a large area.

Just right, it’s a good place for children to play.

Logically speaking, children would not have much interest in such an unattractive mountain forest. However, the only reason for wanting children to run on the hills is interest. The children's interests are playing mobile games and chicken games.

When I feel annoyed, I really want to drop my phone. But think about it on the other hand, how could children not be exposed to mobile games!

I made an agreement with Motoko that any game can be played, but it must be deleted after playing. Try to hold on.

Games have become an effective platform for children, especially boys, to communicate. Even with one movement, two people can come together immediately.

The grassy lake in the forest park has become a natural play base for children. Let them run freely on the mountain, and the joy is beyond the excitement in mobile games.

On the Qingming Festival, we went cross-country and the more we played, the crazier we became.

However, more and more people come to the Forest Park to visit graves and worship, and the definition of parks and cemeteries seems to be unclear.

Otherwise, this is definitely a natural base for team battles in the chicken game, I think.

If we put a little more effort into the innocence of these children with their own talents as actors, and truly reproduce Douyin on mobile phones, it will definitely be an outlet for making money.

Children can’t get enough of watching videos of themselves fighting.

The key is that children love life and are interested in experiencing life, which becomes the best material for writing diaries and serves multiple purposes.

During the Qingming Festival, spring flowers are blooming. The lost little bee hovered over Motoko's head, frightening Motoko who was playing hard and making me laugh.

When the locust flowers are about to bloom, it is also the busiest time of the year for the beekeeper kingdom.

I immediately sent him a WeChat message. Did your seal get lost? Come and take it back.

Runner Kingdom has selected bees that have been raised for more than ten years, and they know the most about bees and flowers.

I asked him, how long does it take for a swarm of bees to collect 10 pounds of sophora nectar?

When there was no reply, I asked again, is a swarm of bees a box of bees?

After coming here for a long time, he called me and was busy moving the bees to a new home on the road to Pingdingshan.

A few years ago, when I went to Longxing Temple Reservoir, I saw beekeepers on the roadside, two old men. Previously, when the Kaiguer pear blossoms were in bloom, I asked around to find bees to pollinate them. Pear blossoms are not high-yielding honey, and those who favor beekeepers will have to pay an additional fee, at that time.

Chatting with the old man, he just arrived here from the south and set up camp in the locust forest next to the reservoir.

The old man said that he would come here every year at this time, waiting for the large locust trees to bloom. Sophora nectar is considered the best among honeys and can be sold at a high price.

We were traveling with a few people, so we naturally didn’t miss buying some honey to try.

Ask the old man, they all have mountain flower honey, vegetable flower honey, and the rare Kowloon Vine honey.

Although I know very little about honey, I still want to try Kowloon Vine Honey, even though I have never heard of it.

First, the old man said that Kowloon Vine was the best honey they collected. Whether it was in Guizhou or in the mountains of Jiangxi, I can’t remember clearly. Anyway, they followed The weather changes, heading north.

It is not easy to meet old people here who have been traveling all over the country. The old man said that they do this every year, coming and going.

I told my companions that honey gatherers are like migratory birds. When winter turns to spring, they go wherever there are flowers. Although it is hard work, they can still see the most beautiful scenery in the world.

This is the lifestyle of the elderly.

Second, the two old people are bees, hard workers who never stop for a moment. Look at the two old beekeepers who are already quite old. Herding bees to collect honey is their normal life and their entire life.

The old man said that raising bees to collect honey is a craft that has been passed down from ancient times. Nowadays, only old people are engaged in it, and there are not many young people here. Even if the elderly earn tens of thousands of dollars a year from selling honey, they have almost no ability or means to consume. In addition to simple daily expenses, these balances will be subsidized to the children like bees.

This is what the old man said.

I asked the old man, how much honey does a bee need to collect before it stops resting?

The old man said that no bee seems to stop until it dies.

I said, otherwise, we must all learn from the diligence of bees.

My friend L said that bees are the same as people. People don’t mind having too much money, and of course bees don’t mind having too much honey. So it’s hard work to collect honey, not hard work.

Now that I think about the fact that people don’t mind too much money, and bees don’t mind too much money, I still feel very touched.

Making money is always difficult for me.

I asked Kingdom Choice again, when it rains, do bees come out to collect honey? After collecting 10 pounds of honey, will the bees be exhausted?

There has been no reply.

In the morning, the rain has not stopped yet.

Get up before 5:00 and start writing articles. However, basically updating a diary every week only requires one morning.

At this time, everyone in the family is sleeping, so it is very quiet and suitable for thinking.

When I am writing, I don’t want to be disturbed the most, and the time I choose is mostly in the early morning.

As for how bad the content is, I don’t have many ideas. The only thing is how to persist in writing. Persistence is not an easy thing for everyone, especially like me. Low education is a flaw. Even if I consciously persist, I don’t have high-quality things to output to everyone. So, I want to keep writing. It’s still very stressful mentally.

It should be a concern.

Persistence may not lead to success.

I'm thinking about that too.

Sometimes you insist on doing something stupidly, but you don’t know what the real meaning of persistence is and what the results will be in the future. So, is it possible that all persistence is really stupid? Did you insist?

For example, why I insist on running, why I insist on playing basketball, and why I insist on writing. I still don’t know the real reasons, and I can’t give myself a satisfactory explanation.

Running and playing badminton are not just for living a long life. Perhaps it is to find a way of exercise that suits you and makes you feel at ease in your life.

In fact, when we worship our ancestors during the Qingming Festival, isn’t it just for peace of mind?

Life and psychology are always unified.

In the early years, when there was no atmosphere for playing badminton, I was running every morning. Running is a continuation of the life habits of the army. I always feel that the national defense body trained in the army cannot return home and is slowly used up. It must be useless.

However, running was very monotonous and the roads were not clean. Later, I added Tai Chi and Health Qigong exercises.

In the past two years, urban roads have suddenly become smooth and clean, so naturally I have given up on other things and want to go for outdoor running and long-distance running.

Because, I am willing to get up an hour earlier in the morning.

First, I open my eyes one hour earlier than others and see the world outside. It is so beautiful. It is a good deal in a lifetime.

Second, I tend to wake up early in the morning, and I don’t want to affect my wife and children, so I’d better get up quietly and go outside to be clean. ?

After all these years, I also admire myself for how I persisted.

To be precise, without persistence, it is obsession. Persistence will not last long, because it is against your own human nature, while obsession is in compliance with your own human nature. The things you like doing are due to internal factors.

Would you like to stop?

Why do you insist on writing text?

Again, writing is a kind of output, which is thinking. It’s quite interesting to quietly write down what I’m thinking about in the morning.

Golfer Zhima also has the habit of getting up early.

Zhima said, either come to the gym to play in the morning, or you should get up early, drink a glass of boiled water, sit down and think about something quietly. Even if I go on a business trip, this habit remains the same.

I say, sleeping in and not getting up does not mean that the sleep can be of high quality. The human brain is thinking all the time, and a lot of the time is daydreaming.

Only by putting your thoughts into action can so-called thinking be valuable.

Is there a shortcut between taking action and thinking?

Sesame tells me that success is not accidental, and neither is excellence.

If you are willing to observe, even the people around us who are slightly better are not simple. If you observe carefully, they all have excellent habits and it is the norm.

In this way, excellence is the result of long-term accumulation. But we always have a feeling: Oh, why is she awesome? I am very familiar with her, she is very ordinary, and she is not as smart as me.

N years later, she is even better and more influential.

However, we have always been ordinary because we did not accumulate.

Water is very ordinary. A small stream will turn into a ditch or a canal, and it will become a grassland and forest. It depends on the slow change of warmth and the accumulation of time.

In fact, there is a normal state, which is to summarize and organize your thoughts, keep good records, and keep writing.

Persevering in writing also makes me observe more about life. For example, if everyone is chatting, I will immediately identify those opinions as what I want to know. In other words, I can use my own point of view to understand some things, so that I don’t follow the crowd anymore.

However, I know what I can’t do, and my shortcoming is experience. Writing about things you have not experienced will make people laugh at those who have really experienced them. If you are blind and touch the elephant, your opinions are really bullshit. With such empty words and pretentiousness everywhere, I can't stand myself, and others can't stand it either. accept.

However, if you think about it conversely, don’t those who have the ability to think deeply need daily accumulation?

Therefore, many people died at the starting line.

Believe in the power accumulated over time.

Once you think about life and read books and articles, you will naturally have a direction.

…………The article is over…………
