秋冬的一抹“溫暖”

郭曉娟

有人愛春天的山花浪漫，說那是獨屬于春日的溫暖和煦；有人愛夏天的青翠郁蔥，說那象征著活力、激情和自由；也有人愛冬天的漫天花雪，說它們是純潔無瑕的代表；而我卻對秋冬交迭之季情有獨鐘，喜愛這個季節的紅橙黃，因為那是豐收的顏色，是秋涼冬冷里的一抹“溫暖”。

“自古逢秋悲寂寥，我言秋日勝春朝?！碑斏钋锏臐饬遗c初冬的清冷撞了個滿懷，大自然饋贈的成熟之色，就在大江南北的田間地頭蔓延開來，楓葉紅，柿子黃，它們不僅有奪目的“外表”，更有豐富的“內涵”——辛勤的勞作，收獲的喜悅，致富的期盼，發展的憧憬。

如果用一句詩贊美紅葉，杜牧那句“霜葉紅于二月花”不知說出了多少人的心聲。位于濰坊臨朐縣的石門坊，古以“石門晚照”之景聞名，今以紅葉著稱，被譽為“齊魯紅葉之冠”。進入深秋，3000余畝黃櫨脫綠換紅，如潑墨一般灑滿整個山林，遠看如滾滾紅浪，近看似簇簇山花，如火似霞，加上叢櫨間柏、潑紅嵌黛，真是樹樹皆秋色，被游人贊道“潑染山紅景色好，不是香山勝香山”。

倘若用一句詩表達人們對柿子的喜愛，“又是一年柿子紅，柿柿如意笑秋風”最貼切不過。在中國文化里，柿子代表著富貴、吉祥和好運，還象征著豐收和幸福。而我認為，除了吉祥之意，很多人之所以推崇柿子作為秋天的意象，多源于它的“堅守”，欽佩它“秋去冬來萬物休，唯有柿樹掛燈籠”的頑強精神。走進初冬的齊魯大地，濰坊青州柿子溝、臨朐開井村，臨沂蒙山大洼風景區、沂南鄉間……青山上、田野間，處處紅燈高掛，猶如一片金色的海洋，連空氣里都彌漫著甜甜的味道。這里的人們淳樸善良，見到遠道而來的客人，會熱情地邀請客人吃柿子、柿餅，喝柿子酒、柿子茶，送上家人般的關懷。

如若用一句詩描述炊煙的意境，陶淵明的“曖曖遠人村，依依墟里煙”讓人對田園生活心生向往。我想，人們常說的煙火氣，大概就是炊煙吧。清晨，炊煙裊裊，新的一天開始了；傍晚，再見炊煙升起時，便是家人盼歸的信號。在多數人的心里，有炊煙的地方，就是家，就有溫暖。

深山柿子紅，炊煙四五家。除了絢麗的色彩躍然眼前，山野間的安靜祥和、歲月靜好更顯彌足珍貴，這大概就是秋冬的魅力吧！

A Touch of “Warmth” in Autumn & Winter

Some people like blooming mountain flowers in spring， saying that they represent the warmth and geniality of spring； some like the lushness in summer， saying that symbolizes vitality， passion and freedom； some like the flying snowflakes in winter， saying that they embody immaculacy. However， I prefer the changeover period between autumn and winter. I love its red， orange and yellow， because they are the colors of harvest， and a touch of “warmth” amid the autumn coolness and winter coldness.

When the mellowness of late autumn meets the chilliness of early winter， the colors of ripeness — maple-leaf red and persimmon yellow presented by nature will spread across the fields all over the country. They have not only shining “appearances”， but also rich “connotations” – the diligence of work， the joy of harvest， the expectation for wealth， and the longing for develop- ment.

Shimenfang in Linqu County， Weifang City， was famous for its“Shimen Afterglow” sight in ancient times， but now famous for the sight of red leaves， which is hailed as the “Best Red Leaves Sight in Shandong”. In late autumn， over 200 hectares of smoke trees （Cotinus coggygria Scop.） have turned from green to red， and spread all over the forest like splashing paint， appearing as attractive as rosy clouds.

On the land of Shandong in early winter， Shizigou （Persimmon Ditch） in Qingzhou， Kaijing Village in Linqu， Mengshan Dawa Scenic Area in Linyi， the countryside of Yinan… Lush mountains are filled with red elements， and the fields become a golden sea， where even the air smells sweet. The people here are kind and simple. They may warmly invite guests from afar to eat persimmons and dried persimmons， and drink persimmon wine and tea， giving them family-like care.

In the mountains filled with ripe persimmons， four or five huts stay in haze. In addition to brilliant colors， mountains and fields show a tranquil and serene ambience， which appears more precious. Perhaps， it is the charm of autumn and winter.
