Spring is here. In my opinion, spring is the most beautiful season of the year. The earth warms up, everything recovers, flowers are red and willows are green, and everywhere is thriving. But the spring of 2020 is destined to be an unusual spring.

Because humans were attacked by a new coronavirus this year, it now seems that this is a virus unknown to humans before. In order to deal with this new virus, the country has taken quarantine measures to reduce the flow of people and reduce person-to-person contact. During the Spring Festival holiday, it was possible to go out and play, but this year it is impossible. People have responded to the call of the country and consciously not to go out or gather together.

I used to drive past the Bund during the Spring Festival. The roads that are usually crowded with traffic during festivals are now empty, with no vehicles or tourists, which makes people sigh. At that time, I once thought to myself that fortunately the epidemic occurred in China. The Chinese people have a strong tradition of self-discipline and unity. These good traditions have played a great role in the fight against the epidemic, so we can quickly and effectively control the epidemic. If the epidemic occurs in a Western country that advocates freedom, laxity and goes its own way, it may become uncontrollable. Unfortunately, this did happen later. This is a digression.

No matter what happens to people, spring still comes to the earth on time as promised. If you can't go out, just spend the spring nearby and enjoy flowers. There are plenty of places. After years of construction in Shanghai, there are more urban green spaces, more street trees, and more beautiful parks for leisure and entertainment. And no matter where the greening is well maintained, there are also many types of trees. Nowadays, urban greening pays great attention to the combination of green leaves and colorful leaves, the combination of trees and shrubs, and the layout of trees and flowers. As long as you pay attention to it, you will find beautiful scenery everywhere.

In early spring, in the green space around us, thin buds burst out on the branches, the reed grass in the pond also drilled out of the soil, and magnolias hung all over the branches, and the beautiful spring began. There are several green spaces around our residential area, and the green space construction planning is also very good. At this time, these green spaces all show a scene full of spring and vitality. Seeing such a scenery, I immediately thought of the artistic conception of Han Yu's poem "It is the best benefit of spring in a year, the decisive victory over the imperial capital with smoke and willows."

At the end of February, park green spaces will be opened to a limited extent. We drove on the Shanghai-Jiaxing Expressway to practice our driving skills, and also visited Jiading Zhouqiao Old Street. When I arrived at the old street, the first thing I saw was rows of weeping willows by the river. The weeping willows have already sprouted new buds, which are green and green, and thin willow branches float densely from the branches, like a green waterfall. The tender green color of the willow buds makes people like it. Long green willow branches fluttered gently in the air with the breeze, like a girl's flowing hair. What a beautiful early spring scenery this is. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but think of the poem of He Zhizhang, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "Jasper makeup is as high as a tree, and thousands of green silk ribbons hang down." Accompanying Lvliu is the old house with pink walls and black tiles on Zhouqiao Old Street, the tall and straight ancient tower, and the quietly flowing river. Jiading Zhouqiao Old Street in early spring is quiet and peaceful, full of ancient charm.

After experiencing too long the suffering of the epidemic and too long the mental depression, the green willows in front of us have brought us a fresh atmosphere and a long-lost good mood. Our spirit is also refreshed.

In March, the magnolia flowers have not completely withered, but the crabapple flowers bloom. Begonia flowers are now a regular tree species in urban green spaces or residential areas. There are many crabapple trees in the community where we live, planted among evergreen tree species. Begonia trees are generally not tall. The pink petals of Begonia flowers hang all over the branches, making them graceful and graceful, like a slender girl. Every spring rain falls, the flowers and trees are particularly fresh after the baptism of rain. The blue and white trees are red, and the crabapple flowers are particularly charming. Immediately, I can feel the softness of "Begonia does not hesitate to be rouge, independent in the drizzle."

There are many places in Shanghai to watch crabapple flowers. There are two parks close to the urban area and with large crabapple flowers: one is People's Park in the city center. The crabapple flowers there are a bit of a scale and are planted very regularly, rows and rows neatly. The other place is the Daning Green Space. The crabapple flowers in the Daning Green Area are even larger. The undulating slope in the north of the green area is covered with crabapple trees. It looks like a pink area. The crabapple trees are in full bloom all over the mountains and fields, gorgeous and enthusiastic.

Peach blossoms bloom at about the same time as crabapple flowers. Peach blossoms are much richer in color than crabapple, including pink, white, bright red, and deep red. Our country has a tradition of appreciating peach blossoms. Influenced by this tradition, we have also developed the habit of viewing peach blossoms every year. In previous years, we often went to Hangzhou to see peach blossoms, and went to the West Lake. In the lakes and mountains, in the faint spring breeze, we watched peach blossoms under the shadow of green mountains and towers, and appreciated the beauty of peach blossoms and willow greens. Due to the epidemic this year, it is impossible to go out and enjoy peach blossoms. Fortunately, there are also peach blossoms in the community. Although there are not many, the peach blossoms bloom brilliantly. It can also slightly meet the flower viewing needs of people with flower viewing habits.

Under the building, in the flower beds, in the sun, peach blossoms are blooming in full bloom in the wind. Peach blossoms decorate the community more gorgeous, and the building also makes the peach blossoms more beautiful. It's just that for special reasons this year, fewer people appreciate flowers than in previous years. In previous years, there were always people watching and taking photos around the peach trees. This year, few people stop in front of the flowers. Although the peach blossoms are brilliant, they are extremely lonely. There are very few pedestrians on the path in the community. This scene is easy to remind people of the poem "I don't know where the face is going, but the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze." Seeing this lonely peach blossom, I deeply felt the same, so I wrote a few sentences:

The fight against the epidemic has no time yet,

There are few tourists on the path.

But when you think of spring scenery,

Don't miss the peach blossom season.

The blooming of peach blossoms expresses the beauty of spring, the beauty of life, and the beauty of prospects. Although the epidemic has affected people's mood to appreciate the good times of spring. But this is only a temporary phenomenon. The scene of "peach blossoms on the face of the person" will return to people's lives in a short time.

In recent years, Chinese people have liked to watch cherry blossoms again. There is a cherry blossom forest in the garden across the river from our house. The cherry blossom forest is not very big but it is also a bit large. Cherry trees are planted on both sides of the trail, and dense cherry trees surround the long trail, forming a cherry blossom corridor about 100 meters long. Most of the cherry blossoms here are late cherries, with deeper colors, larger flower shapes and more petals than early cherries. The trunk of the cherry tree is thick and the branches are stretched out. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, huge flowers hang densely all over the branches. The long branches hold the light rose-colored flowers, swaying in the wind, making it particularly elegant. Du Fu once wrote a poem that "Huang Si's family is full of flowers, and thousands of flowers suppress the branches." Huang Si's family thousands of years ago is no longer possible to find, but the colorful scenes of "thousands of flowers pressing down on the branches" thousands of years ago can now be seen at home.

Another advantage of enjoying flowers at home is that you can watch the whole process of flowers blooming and falling. In the peak period, cherry blossoms petals can easily fall. Even if a breeze blows, the petals will dance with the wind and fall everywhere. This is the best time to watch the flower rain. During the day, I often sit idly under the cherry blossom trees and savor the charm of the cherry blossoms. When the wind blows, the petals fly up and down in the air, like countless colorful butterflies dancing. It is very exciting. Late at night, the wind became stronger and it rained a lot. What would the cherry blossoms look like after a night of wind and rain? The next morning, I came to Cherry Blossom Avenue again and saw that most of the cherry blossoms fell after the storm. The trail was covered with petals. The dark brown trail on weekdays turned pink. It leaves people with the thought of "Unfortunately, the wind blows behind, and the red patches of berries are dotted with moss." This year's cherry blossom season has come to an end, and cherry blossoms have finally shown their unique beauty in another form.

It is inconvenient to travel far to admire flowers this year, but now it seems that there is no need to travel far to admire flowers. As long as you have such an interest and the mood to find beauty, beautiful scenery can always appear around you. This year, we were attacked by the virus. Fortunately, our country was united and quickly controlled the epidemic. Life continues, and the flower season will come again. Life is always full of poetry, because poetry comes from life. Pursuing poetry does not necessarily go far away. Poetry always follows you.
