In the depths of winter, snow falls and the land is covered with a thick layer of snow. In this silvery world, a few plum blossoms stand proudly and attract my attention. Their petals are as white as snow, with a faint green glow, and the yellow stamens are as fine as silk, exuding a faint fragrance.
If you look closely, these plum blossoms are gently swaying in the cold wind, the snow is on the flowers, and the flowers are in the snow, as if they are gently telling a distant story. They do not have the delicacy of spring peach blossoms or the elegance of summer lotuses, but they have the unique tenacity and arrogance of winter.
Don't let people praise the color, only leave the air full of goodness. These two lines of poetry, like an old ballad, echo softly in my heart at this moment. Close your eyes and take a deep breath of the refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms, as if you are instantly in a fantasy world far away from the hustle and bustle.
I once remembered that in the not-so-old village of my hometown, there was an old man with gray hair, a thin figure, but his eyes were bright. Whenever winter comes, he will always sit under the blooming plum tree, sipping tea and chanting the poems of the ancients. And in his house, there is a picture of Momei drawn by his own hand.
The old man said that he loved Wang Mian's "Momei", and he admired Wang Mian's spirit of not flattering the world and sticking to the high spirit. For him, Momei is not only a flower, but also a spiritual sustenance and symbol. It represents sticking to the original intention and maintaining inner peace and purity.
In this fast-paced era, we all seem to have forgotten the beauty of slowing down. But whenever I see the plum blossoms and the old man, and think of the plum blossoms splashed on the plain paper, I will think of those two poems: "Don't let people praise the color, only leave the pure air full of goodness." "May we all be like Momei, maintaining inner peace and purity in this noisy world, so that our souls can be sublimated and purified.
