Changshu Shanghu Lake

Poets always sigh with the variability of the climate and weep over it. They are angels who have fallen into the world, with their sensitivity, kindness and innocence, feeling the joys and sorrows of the world.

The gift of nature makes life full of freedom, but it also gives life a tragic color. So the Chinese poet Li Shangyin finally wrote the famous line “Leave the remnant lotus to listen to the rain”. Look, how spectacular this lotus leaf is about to wither!

It was a twilight in late autumn, but the sunset had not yet subsided. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a ray of light into the grass, which seemed warm and full of reverie. On the right side of the screen is a shadow. And in the distance is the vast blue sky and patches of white clouds. You stop and stare, this situation seems familiar.

People are always accustomed to comparison. This is not only due to the weakness of human nature, but more importantly, there are deeper philosophical thinking behind it. People find that things are always in a universal connection, so people invent concepts as a tool to understand the world. More importantly, this relationship embodies such a characteristic: strengthening, weakening, inclusive, complementary, etc.

In my opinion, the pavilion and the blue sky in the picture reflect this subtle relationship: enhancement. But you may have different opinions. This is normal, because everyone sees things differently.

In the Chinese literary tradition, parting is a big poetic motif. Those sentimental poets always take the trouble to create poems about parting. The pavilions and white clouds are the most common images in these poems. It is true that literature is related to people’s production and life and nation, but more essential is related to universal human nature. Therefore, a dialogue about us is possible.

This is an artificial scenery arranged in Fushui Mountain. You may have different opinions about artificial scenery. For in-depth discussions on these topics, we can have a separate chapter for dialogue. But what I want to say is that this kind of artificial scenery is the most typical in Suzhou gardens. It can almost be said that they represent the aesthetic tendency of traditional Chinese gardens like Suzhou gardens.

The pavilion in the distance forms a perspective relationship with the stone in front of you, and the high-light area of ​​the sky and the shadow area under your feet form a contrast of light and dark, which increases the depth of the picture.

Fushui Villa is located in an area of ​​Shanghu Lake in Changshu and is an integral part of Suzhou gardens. On its periphery is a large landform composed of lakes and islands. The lake is vast and blue, becoming one with the deep blue sky.

 

An outing in autumn: mystery, tranquility…

The combination of red and green can indeed create a strong visual effect. In the picture, the background is a piece of green grass, which forms a strong visual contrast with the small red building as the main body. And what surprised me the most was this exquisite and exotic building, really cute.

As a symbol of traditional Chinese culture, red lanterns represent auspiciousness and wishfulness. Because of this, they can be seen every time on those festive days and some important places.

When the red lanterns are combined with thatched houses, this kind of picture seems to be more able to convey the life of ancient Chinese. In that era, although material conditions were extremely scarce, people were rich in their hearts. In the era when Tao Yuanming lived, people often worried about food and clothing. However, the great poet Tao Yuanming can still create great poems that have been passed down through the ages under these difficult conditions, which is indeed admirable.

 

Photography: River in the Jungle
It was already late autumn. But the jungle is still crisp and pleasant, as if summer has not yet gone. The reflection in the lake outlines the fuzzy outline on the shore, with light and dark intertwined, light and shadow overlapping, quite a mood.

But you have to know and believe that summer has indeed left us, and autumn is about to end. A long winter will follow. So, if you don’t like winter, you must take advantage of this time to go outdoors and take a look.

 

Photography works: ancient temples in the mountains

This temple is called “Baoyan Temple” and we can vaguely see its existence in the picture. Yes, it is hidden in this dense forest. And all this seems so “Zen”.

There are many legends about Buddhism. These legends often reveal a certain kind of mystery and wisdom, and together they constitute a certain understanding and concept of Buddhism among the people.

 

Photography: The cabin by the lake

The cabin under the backlight did not look unclear. And the sky at this time is not beautiful, a bit gray. So the overall picture lacks hierarchy. But I can still capture some satisfactory information from the picture; tranquility.

This is the cabin seen from another angle. There is a person in white clothes standing nearby.Is he thinking? Or immersed in this beautiful landscape?
