Infinite Skies: A Gift of a Spring Branch
Chinese Heraldry: Echoes of the East,Author: Infinite Clear Skies,Jiangnan Has No Ownership, Let's Gift a Branch of Spring,That day, I went to the shogunate office to handle some business and saw a single tree in a corner of the square in full bloom – it must have been a flowering cherry. I approached to find it was a Hazakura tree, standing proudly against the blue sky. It was as if a tree in Heaven – bright colors, freely stretching, unrestrainedly blooming. I wanted to use it to express my grief, solely for the face of the deceased doctor, who passed away before dawn. When I closed my eyes and prayed, that ordinary, youthful face appeared. How young he was! How 'insightful' he seemed. Such youth, and yet no opportunity to 'understand' further. Suddenly, I realized this heavy feeling shouldn't be borne on this beautiful tree; it couldn't withstand it, nor did I wish to dim its beauty. I said to Mr. Wu, 'Why don't you go see the plum blossoms?' The next afternoon, I actually managed to find some time to visit the back garden and admire the plum blossoms,Reflecting on Plum Blossoms. Plum blossoms are truly worth lamenting – admiring their beauty and lamenting their hardship. If they truly possessed a 'snow-laden forest, a solitary existence, unmixed with the fragrant blossoms' nature, it would be understandable. But if they possessed the spirit of 'suddenly, one night, a fragrant bloom, spreading across the entire world like spring,' it's beyond comprehension. Yet, it isn't,According to conventional aesthetics, plum blossoms are beautiful because of their curves; straight ones lack grace. Natural trees are often upright and difficult to bend; they require external forces – binding or pruning – to change their shape. Therefore, I preferred Cui Dao Rong's lines from 'Plum Blossoms': 'Fragrance holds a unique charm, so clear it doesn't know the cold. Gale-force winds offer no challenge, easily preserved.' The love for flowers and the appreciation for them are all contained within,In the evening glow, the plum blossom garden was a patchwork of light and shadow, because of the surrounding towering trees. The early-blooming Hanwa variety only flowered at thirty percent, and other plum blossom varieties were scattered. Only the several dense clusters of ancient plum trees in the garden were in full bloom, and they were just bathed in the winter's last rays of sunshine, looking vibrant. Approaching them, their fragrance was intoxicating, and gazing at the thousands of yellow, warm, and adorable faces, I recalled the four characters 'All Sentient Beings' – they refer to all life or the countless ordinary people in the world,Sharing a few photos and extending greetings and gratitude to friends and family, anticipating the day when we can finally embrace each other.
