△ 180｜Don’t wait until there are no flowers and branches
Every time, my wife and I want to escape from the “world” for a while. So I will find a quiet place to live for a few days, and look back at the timeline of “△”. The last time I “Escape from the World” was also in this quiet hotel, and I wrote “Flowers Blossom Can Be Broken Straight and Must Be Broken” , Then write about it today.
Let the “Japanese flower master” appear. When the host interviewed her last time, they originally thought that those exquisite flower arrangements were all they thought was “making the best use of everything”. For a perfect work, the flower master cut A lot of scraps fell off. Everyone is looking forward to an inexplicable and gentle positive energy, that is, the master of flower art will find their proper belonging for the cut waste branches, and let them have value in other works. In fact, the flower master just throws away those waste branches, how can there be so much beauty and “should” .
Today, she was interviewed again, because the recent works of this famous flower master in the country are mainly green plants, and there are not too many flowers. , so her work loses its “color”.
“Master, why do you rarely use flowers in your recent works?”
“Can you answer me a question first?”
“Please say.”
“Can you name the flowers in spring?”
“Winter plums, early spring plums, spring rhododendrons, mid-spring peony, etc.”
“You have seen these flowers in my works, right, so you can also feel that these are all works of spring.”
“Yes, these are the flowers that you have seen in your work.”
“Then can you name summer flowers?”
“Well… Ziyang, right… and what else…”
“Are you not as many flowers that come to your mind when you think of spring?”
“Yes, I won’t remember for a while.”
“How summer made you feel, or describe it as a color, what color can you think of?”
“Of course it’s green.”
“Then that’s the main color of my work, because that’s the color of summer.”
There are hundreds of flowers blooming on the branches in spring, why not use the flowers and branches at that time as the material; and the green eyes in summer, but you have to find those blooming flowers from it. More is cheap, rare is more expensive, this is not art, but a logic of self-deception.
“Then let me ask you one more question, what kind of food do you think is the most difficult to cook?”
“I think, I think it’s French, and I think it requires sophistication and cooking, which I can’t do.”
“Then I’ll take the liberty to ask if you can reproduce one of your favorite mother’s or father’s dishes?”
“Ah, I don’t seem to be able to do this. No matter what I do, I can’t make it. It must be eaten by my mother’s own hands.”
“Which is more difficult, mother’s cooking or French cooking?”
Is it delicious to make sashimi directly from the golden eye bream that has just been salvaged? certainly! That is because of the difficulty of cooking or because of its own ingredients; for an ordinary bowl of Mapo tofu, some people cook well and some do not. It is because the ingredients are different or because the cooking is difficult.
Rhododendrons bloom all over the mountains and plains in spring. They are cheap because they are too many. No matter how beautiful they are, they make people feel “cheap”. In the end, the master can make amazing works. Is it because she used a completely different cuckoo ? In summer, the horse drunk wood no longer blooms, but the branches can make various shapes, and some people say that it is expensive and not cheap.
People often have an uncontrolled “cheap” that they will commit. When a thing is taken for granted by some people, they don’t feel it is precious, and even feel it is cheap and priceless. Just like the rhododendrons in the mountains, beauty is beauty, but they feel boring when they see too much. When all the cuckoos withered, I began to think how good it would be if this green mountain full of eyes had some color. At that time, I went to sigh the empty branches without flowers, and I always felt that the fun was lacking.
Of course, in this “cheap” there is also a “cheaper”. It is a person who is accustomed to being favored, until one day they lose the favor of others, and they become “victims” , blaming those who have always given them support and favor. The branches are full of flowers, but he will not break them, because he knows that the flowers all over the mountain belong to him. The other party, why can’t I get the flowers and branches that I should have gotten.
At the beginning of this year, there was a tree in the community that had been growing for five or six years, and its branches were cut down every year. At first, there were many residents who blocked it, saying that such a big plum tree would be cut down. The staff explained that the winter plum tree is a tree that needs different pruning and growing, and it will grow more lush and bloom more in the second year. As a result, this summer, the wax plum grew even more lush because of the broken branches, but those people no longer cared how it was.
When there are no flowers, they are not allowed to be folded, and when they are blooming, they are too cheap; when the branches without flowers are broken, they will grow again.
