Spring is here, will you enjoy a flower with your children?

Buy a bouquet of flowers for your dining table. At noon on the holiday, Father Orange stewed a big goose, and the whole house was filled with a fragrant smell. Cheng Zi was so greedy that he was salivating. When the food was on the table, Cheng Zi had a sudden thought: \”Mom, such a delicious meal, I want to eat it on the balcony.\” At this time, the sun was shining brightly on the balcony, and it was full of the breath of spring. I said: OK. We brought the food to the balcony, and the sun warmed our bodies. Cheng Zi ate the food and squinted his eyes happily: \”It\’s so comfortable!\” I thought to myself: He is really better than me, and he enjoys life better than me. . I like the little details in life and these little interests. For example, I like to buy plates, but I never buy them in sets. I buy one or two when I see something I like, and I slowly accumulate bowls and plates of various materials, colors, and shapes. Every time I prepare a meal and open the drawer, I feel like I am ruling the world, and I secretly think: There are three thousand beauties in the harem, which plate will look better with today’s meal? When putting it on the plate, I also put a little thought into the simple shape. Although it will be eaten in the stomach the next moment, I still prefer it to be more pleasing to the eye when it is served on the table. Mr. Zhou Guoping has a book called \”Living Fun in a Boring Era\”. I like this name very much. No matter whether this era is interesting or not, it is also an ability for a person to discover the beauty in life, enjoy the beauty, and make life more interesting. It doesn’t cost much to have a bouquet of flowers on the dining table all year round, change the color of the tablecloth frequently, and light up aromatherapy according to your mood. These little fun things in life will always warm your heart. The taste of life and the perception of beauty are not like the knowledge content of 1+1=2 that can be accurately expressed and taught. It is more of an atmosphere, an experience, and a feeling that is influenced by the ears, the eyes, the eyes, and the subtle influence. inherited. I can clearly feel this from Orange. Life needs some sense of ritual. Spring is here, and Orange has urged me several times to buy some rapeseeds to grow vegetables on the balcony. Every year, we grow flowers and vegetables on the balcony. The balcony is not big, and most of the flowers and plants grown are cheap and easy to grow. They will grow brilliantly if given some sunshine and water. I like to open the curtains every morning and see how many more flowers have bloomed outside the window and how much higher the loofah vines have climbed. The liveliness of the small world makes the mood of the day brighter. Orange also likes to look at the flowers and plants with me. He pays more attention to the vegetables. He counts the red tomatoes and wonders when the cucumbers can be picked. He makes some new discoveries every day. The vegetables grown on the balcony can be washed and served on the dining table. Every spring, sowing seeds has gradually become a small tradition in our family. While chatting, we played with the soil, discussing what to plant in this pot and what to plant in that pot, and placed the seeds comfortably with our hands covered with soil. I like this sense of ritual, which makes me feel that life is worth looking forward to and decent, not just a mess of feathers and scrawls. Obviously, this has become Orange’s expectation every year. How long has it been since you danced? When interest comes, I like to play some music. Instead of sitting upright and listening, most of the timeListen while doing the things at hand. When Chengzi was six years old, I once tidied the house while listening to music. When I heard Tchaikovsky\’s \”Swan Lake\” No. 23, I casually said: This is \”Swan Lake\”. Cheng Zi was listening and said: In the early morning, before dawn, the swans were sleeping in the lake. Like a boat drifting along with the waves of the lake… Slowly, the sun rises. The little swans were all awake, playing games together, singing and dancing and having a lot of fun… I was surprised that the scene described by Chengzi fit the melody of this song very well. I quickly wrote down this passage and asked him carefully. It turned out that Cheng Zi associated the music with the swans he had seen swimming in the lake. How interesting it is that the road a person has walked, the scenery he has seen, the music he has listened to, and the atmosphere he has felt are like seeds planted one after another. You never know when they will break out of the ground, sprout, bloom, and grow. Send out all kinds of interesting ideas. Sometimes, I would pull Orange and dance with the music. Soothing, lively, dynamic, there is no fixed program, you can play freely with the music. At first the child was a little embarrassed, but then he started to dance more and more freely, and just did a hodgepodge of dance, martial arts, and opera moves. He was really dancing and happy. Oranges and swans played together for a long time by the lake in Austria. This was the inspiration I got from the workshop. Some workshops will include a spiritual dance component. I still remember one time when the teacher asked everyone to put blindfolds on their eyes, not to look at other people, and not to worry about other people\’s eyes. They didn\’t even care about whether their posture was beautiful or not, and just immersed themselves in their own world and danced to the music. , rotating, stretching the limbs to the fullest, using body language to express one\’s inner feelings – whether stiff or clumsy, the important thing is expression. Immersed in the music, you will feel that the melody is the sea, and you are a fish in the sea, swimming happily with the ocean current. As the limbs stretch, the heart that has been restrained and suppressed for a long time gradually relaxes, feeling the long-lost freedom. I hope that Cheng Zi can also experience this kind of happiness, this feeling of freedom and unrestrainedness, this feeling of heartily and heartily expressing oneself from such dance. What does it feel like to have the breeze blowing on your face? I like photography, and I like to observe the subtle details of a flower, a leaf, or a person, and see the magical changes of light and shadow. I can often play with a leaf for a long time, and try to see what the effects will be with forward light, backlight, and side backlight. How to present the shots, flat shots, and different angles of the shot, have fun playing with it. Over the years, Chengzi has become accustomed to my various pats. When we go out to play, when Chengzi sees beautiful flowers and grass, he will call me: Mom, come and take a photo of this. I would squat down with him, admire it, and discuss which angle would look better. As he got older, Chengzi started taking photos with his own camera. The last few times I went out to play, Orange basically \”occupied\” my camera. He hung it around his neck and took pictures left and right, up and down, and he was very interested in taking pictures. I\’m thinking whether Chengzi can develop an interest in photography or not, even if he treats the camera as a big toy, he can use the lens to discover all kinds of beauty in life, try to observe things from different angles, and have fun doing it. ,This is enough. In the past two years, when we go out to play, we will play a little game. In the forest, by the lake, or on the road, we will take a few minutes to stop joking, find a comfortable position to sit down, close our eyes, return our attention to the body, and feel it quietly. At this time, you will notice many details that you have never noticed: the faint sound of birdsong, the low sound of waves, the coolness of the breeze on your cheeks, the warm feeling of the sun shining on your body, the slight sweat on the tip of your nose… Slowly, my heart calmed down and I began to enjoy this moment. Cheng Zi likes this game very much and sometimes offers to sit for a while and feel it. If life is an experience and travel is an experience, then feelings are the wealth we gain in the process. A person who is sensitive to feelings should have a rich and soft heart, and the world in his eyes should be beautiful and meaningful. Beauty is an attitude towards life. In our era, parents mostly focus on their children’s academic performance. Aesthetic education is what our society lacks. I don’t have much experience in this area, and it’s more of an accidental thing. Along the way, I found that my love for life has affected my child, and he gradually learned to discover and enjoy beauty. Based on my limited experience, I feel that in order to provide children with aesthetic education, in addition to going to art galleries and museums and participating in various interest classes, it is more important to start with the details of daily life, from a flower, a beam of light, Starting with one color, children can feel the beauty everywhere in nature and life. Beauty is an attitude towards life. A child who is good at discovering, enjoying and creating beauty will be an interesting person and a person who is more likely to feel happy when he grows up. When a child has beauty in his heart, he will not easily go astray, nor will he easily give up hope. He will treat life seriously and will not perfunctory life or himself. I think this is also the ultimate goal of our aesthetic education for children. One flower, one world. Through the lens, I discovered a lot of subtle beauty. In fact, in this regard, I don’t have too many requirements for oranges. They must be whatever they are. I decorate food, listen to music, take photos, and meditate. He finds it interesting, so he comes to mix it up. Many times, he treats it as a game. If his interest has passed and he doesn\’t want to do it anymore, then let him. I think it\’s all good. Originally, I didn\’t do these things to teach him anything. It was entirely because I liked doing them. I was very happy and enjoyed the process of doing them. That\’s enough. It would be better if he can cultivate some interest from it. If he cannot cultivate it, it would be better to leave a warm memory. The wonder of light and shadow often makes me immersed in it. I still remember that during the Dragon Boat Festival when I was a child, my grandma used to wrap small rice dumplings with colorful silk threads and sewed small purses with fine needlework. I still remember that my grandpa would take them out every New Year’s Eve dinner. Pink horse palace lantern hanging on the eaves. I will not deliberately think of these small scenes and fragments, because I will never forget them. They are hidden in the bottom of my heart. There are many, many, and little by little, blending the warm background of my life. I hope Chengzi will be able to leave many such warm memories when he grows up, with suchWith the background support, there will be more love and warmth when facing the world. That\’s good.
