The Beauty of Luofu: A ‘Mountain’ Chapter – Tracing the Footprints of Spring
What is spring like?
‘Spring mountains, warm sunshine and wind, suspended lanterns and screens on pavilions, willows swaying in swings in courtyards, singing warblers and dancing swallows, flying red bridges and streams.’
This is the spring of Yuan Dynasty poet Bai Pu; what kind of spring is there in Luofu Mountain then?
Spring in Luofu Mountainnot only has peach pink and willow green,
but also ten miles of spring breeze blowing endlessly, with countless blossoms blooming in profusion,
it also has boundless, vibrant mountain colors,
with lush greenery and delicate pinks,
these are all spring's gifts tothe magnificent Luofu’s depiction.
The flowers have bloomed, and the sun is also preparing,
a season of green trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant,
should be appreciated.‘’‘Bewitched Luofu’
If you go to (Luofu Mountain)to climb, you might understand the true meaning of ‘I see so many graceful mountains, I wonder if the mountains see me and should respond in the same way.’
Walking through the mountains, take a deep breath of (Luofu Mountain)’s oxygen,a gift from nature.
Stopping in the depths of the forest, listen to the birds singing in chorus.
Climbing step by step, the mountain stream flows gently, also a wonderful surprise along the way.
Following the footsteps of spring, observe the small, beautiful flowers growing by the wayside, although small, they still move the heart.
In the peach blossom grove, pick a fragrant peach blossom,
the blooming peach blossoms are like the pink complexion nurtured by the sun for you.
Standing before ancient trees, instantly understand the dream of ‘If there is a next life, be a tree’ by Meimei.
It’s a tenacious force of life growing upwards, absorbing nourishment downwards.
Water shimmering and misty, mountain scenery blurred and dreamy.
A peaceful lake reflects the green mountains,
red flowers and rustic pavilions
all serve as embellishments to these mountains and waters.
If you go to
(Taohuoling Park)
to walk,you will understand the deep meaning of ‘At that time, only recorded in the deep mountains, how many times does the Qingxi River flow into Yunlin?’The lush green seems about to spill out of the screen.
Right now, I am a fairy in
(Taohuoling Park)
my gaze encompasses all spring colors.
If you happen to stumble upon (Wan'an Jiaju Wenhua Yuan)you’ll instantly understand ‘Old time’s simple huts, alongside the riverside, turning a corner, you suddenly see a stream and a bridge.’
Spring flowers bloom all over the mountains, seemingly hidden inside
(Wan'an Jiaju Wenhua Yuan)
