Peach Blossoms of Xishan
In March, the weather is mild, with light rain, and it's another year of abundant peach blossoms. Let's meet up with friends to enjoy the blossoming spring, wander through the peach blossoms, return to nature, and accept the blessings of spring.
In the eight hundred miles of deep in the area, on the north side of, there is a beautiful small mountain—. In recent years, due to the annual peach blossom festival, it has attracted the attention of people from all over the world.
Mountains enclose a beautiful valley, and small villages are scattered throughout. Peach trees are scattered across the mountains, as if welcoming visitors from all directions. The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and the scent of earth, and people run and shout along the winding roads, in groups of three or five, with old and young, sometimes stopping to admire, sometimes taking photos, sometimes writing poetry and painting… To be in the peach blossoms is to be in paradise, where humans and nature are harmoniously integrated. It's like a beautiful painting of human and nature.
Before, the beauty of peach blossoms was only felt from poems and songs. 'Bamboo outside peach blossoms, two or three branches, spring river water warm, duck knows it first,' 'In April, the fragrance of peach blossoms ends, peach blossoms in the temple begin to bloom'… These all inspired me to feel the beauty of peach blossoms, and I've never had the opportunity to experience it up close. There are red, pink, and white peach blossoms, with different shapes and sizes, oval petals like flying butterflies, graceful and light, and winding, thick branches with different shapes, some like dragons and phoenixes, some like big eagles… At this time, the green leaves are not flamboyant, the tips of the leaves are pointed, tender, and curious, watching the spring with shyness, like a beautiful girl accompanying flowers.
'Peach blossoms bloom, spring comes, spring is always in the deep mountains and forests…'. A lively song echoed through the valley, shaking the peach blossoms, and looking into it, a group of flowering branches were chasing and playing, sometimes under the trees, sometimes on the slopes, people and peach blossoms complemented each other, injecting vitality and spirit into the early spring of, filling it with dynamism and vitality.
In the stream, a clear and cool spring gurgled down, nourishing the land and irrigating the flowers, finally converging into the. The lake was deep and misty, with fallen petals, and the fish in the lake shimmered and disappeared, living freely. Many people admired this scene, regardless of their clothing, they all had a happy and smiling face, and couldn't distinguish high and low, rich and poor, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, forgetting their worries and sorrows, completely immersed in nature and the mountains.
Mountains have spirits, and the rocks on the mountains are the embodiment of spirits. In the distance and near the mountains, there are tigers, lions, eagles, and spiritual fungi… They either stand or lie, either looking down on the world or looking up at the sky, seemingly guarding the peace of the mountains.
On the road, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion pushed a single-wheeled cart. An old man sat on it, and his weathered face radiated joy. During the conversation, we learned that the old man was the former chairman of , a model in the battle, and he still had three bullet fragments on his body. He told us that Chen Yi and generals' command posts were not far from , in the . After the battle, most of was blown up, almost turned into a barren mountain.
'I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, in the past years that weren't productive, now it's become a peach and fruit garden.' The old man said to himself, admiring his military medals.
The rain stopped, and the sun shone brightly. In the distance, the melodious bells of sounded, which cast a mysterious veil on the entire peach blossom mountain. The bells were praying for spring, autumn, and peace. The breeze blew through, and the peach blossoms 'shhh-shhh' sounded, as if telling people the story of spring.
The peach blossoms in covered the village and the hillside, and they also touched the hearts of the visitors.
