Idle incense for the year
Guo Huayue. Chinese New Year, there are busy years, there are idle years.
A busy year is the year of the majority. Busy with staggering, busy with personal contacts, busy with various preparations for the year. But when you are busy, people are easy to forget the original intention of the year, and they are too busy to have time to taste the love and fun of the year.
At this time, the leisure of the year is particularly important. A person has fun when he is free. Most of the fun of the year is related to incense.
Floral fragrance is one of them. In a blink of an eye, the year is approaching. Fold a few plums and insert them into a bottle of water. When it comes to the New Year, the plum branches raised by water should be opened, its color is warm, and its fragrance is far away.
The fragrance of flowers is not only plum, but also daffodils. Around the winter solstice, pick some plump daffodil balls and offer them on the sunny table. Clear water pebbles, when it comes to the New Year, is a room of fragrance.
Huang Tingjian in "Flower Smoke Post", disgusted that "flowers are scented and people want to break Zen". When people get older, their hearts tend to become uneasy. The floral fragrance is too strong, but it disturbs the purity. And plum and narcissus, the fragrance of flowers is faint and clear, not only will not "break Zen", but let people in the hustle and bustle of the year, smell the fragrance and enter Zen, and create a quiet world by themselves.
The fragrance of flowers is clear, expensive in the clear word, there is clear elegance, and there is no disturbance of the year. But in a good year, there is elegance, and there is also the mundane. And food fragrance is a pleasure that can make people get fun from the ordinary.
During the Chinese New Year, there is more than one year after another, and fish is indispensable on the dinner table. But blindly immersed in the reality of firewood, rice, oil and salt, it is easy to make people tired, tired, and inevitably feel bored. At this time, you might as well read the posts of the ancients about making fish, and see elegance in the vulgar, and suddenly become elegant. As Wang Xizhi mentioned in "Wrapping Bream", "Wrapping Bream Tastes Good", wrapping Wrapping Bream in lotus leaves and steaming it, the taste is excellent. There is a kind of learning, and Wang Xizhi's same product "wrapped in fish", this extremely cumbersome kitchen matter, suddenly full of fun.
The fragrance of flowers, food, and tea are naturally indispensable.
Just as Su Shi sent an invitation to his friends to "sip tea" in "Sipping Tea", people are happy to get together every New Year, confidants are two or three, a cup of tea, gossip, and the fragrance of flowers is curling, which is also a joy in life.
All kinds of fragrance is where the fun of the year lies, and it becomes a world of its own between the busy. With idle incense for the New Year, you can taste the true taste of the New Year.
