<p class="ql-block">三月春雪</p><p class="ql-block">清晨開窗，又見一場三月桃花雪。和前幾天那場雪相比，不那么厚重，只是薄薄一層，輕輕蓋在院子里的小樹和車子上，路上的雪已花了。所謂境由心造，今晨再看見這場雪，不再覺得它鬧騰，那份素凈，反讓我生出幾分喜歡。</p><p class="ql-block">民間常把三月下雪叫作三月鬧雪，也叫桃花雪。即春天本應(yīng)慢慢回暖，卻忽然落雪，像是冬天回來鬧一鬧，故有了這樣的名字。</p><p class="ql-block">三月春雪，能給大地帶來不少益處。雪融化后滋潤泥土，給麥苗和草木添上水氣；低溫也可以凍住地里的害蟲病菌，讓莊稼少生病害。</p><p class="ql-block">三月春雪也有它的不好之處。三月正值桃花、杏花、梨花開放，春雪一落，氣溫一低，容易凍壞花朵，地里剛冒出來的嫩芽幼苗，也有可能被寒氣傷到。</p><p class="ql-block">古往今來的文人，也為三月春雪寫下許多溫柔的句子，最動(dòng)人的是溫庭筠的詩，和公安三袁筆下的雪趣。</p><p class="ql-block">唐代溫庭筠在《嘲三月十八日雪》中寫道：</p><p class="ql-block">三月雪連夜，未應(yīng)傷物華。</p><p class="ql-block">只緣春欲盡，留著伴梨花。</p><p class="ql-block">意思是三月連下幾夜雪，并不會(huì)傷害春光，只是春天馬上就要到最盛最美的時(shí)候了，雪便留下來，想陪著梨花一同開放。這便是三月鬧雪最動(dòng)人的地方，春雪不辜負(fù)春天，反而為春天添了幾分情趣。</p><p class="ql-block">明代的公安三袁，別誤解不是我們現(xiàn)在的兩個(gè)字：公安。是<span style="font-size:18px;">明代湖北公安縣袁宗道、袁宏道、袁中道三兄弟，</span>最懂這份春雪的妙處。袁中道在《游居柿錄》里寫：</p><p class="ql-block">夜雪大作，欲登舟至沙市，竟為雨雪所阻。</p><p class="ql-block">然萬竹中雪子敲戛，錚錚有聲。暗窗紅火，任意看數(shù)卷書，亦復(fù)有少趣。</p><p class="ql-block">意思是本來想出門，卻被大雪攔住，可靜下心來，聽雪粒打在竹林里清脆作響，屋里燈火溫暖，隨手翻翻書，反倒有了平日里難得的清閑樂趣。</p><p class="ql-block">袁宏道寫春雪更是靈動(dòng)：</p><p class="ql-block">似與夭桃添粉澤，柳同飛絮斗輕揚(yáng)。</p><p class="ql-block">意思是雪花落在桃花上，像給春花添了淡妝，又與柳絮輕輕共舞。</p><p class="ql-block">袁宗道則寫雪后清雅：</p><p class="ql-block">雪后西山近，煙中御柳長。</p><p class="ql-block">意思是雪落之后天地明凈，遠(yuǎn)山更近，春柳更長。</p><p class="ql-block">三兄弟筆下的春雪，或閑、或美、或靜，都是順其自然、自得其樂的心境。</p><p class="ql-block">雪來鬧春，人不慌不忙，順其自然，自有歡喜，正如我此刻的心境。</p><p class="ql-block">三月本是暖風(fēng)、嫩芽、花欲開的時(shí)候，南方多是下雨，北方偏偏飄來一場細(xì)雪。<span style="font-size:18px;">它美在輕。不像冬雪那么厚重，</span>不那么凍人和刺骨，只是輕輕落、慢慢蓋，像給剛醒的春天，披了一件素白的小衫。落在樹上像一層霜白的絨，落在車上像一層細(xì)粉。</p><p class="ql-block">這場薄薄的春雪，冷得清雅，白得干凈，讓我的心也跟著沉靜了下來。</p><p class="ql-block">這場薄薄的春雪不冷、不躁，也不鬧，干干凈凈，清清爽爽。</p><p class="ql-block">突然發(fā)現(xiàn)，心軟了，雪也跟著溫柔了。</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Spring Snow in March</p><p class="ql-block">By: A Round of Autumn Moon, a Round of Autumn</p><p class="ql-block">When I opened the window early in the morning, I saw another spring snow in March — peach blossom snow.</p><p class="ql-block">It was lighter than the snow a few days ago, just a thin layer, gently covering the small trees and cars in the yard.</p><p class="ql-block">The snow on the road had already melted.</p><p class="ql-block">As the saying goes, the mood shapes the view.</p><p class="ql-block">Seeing the snow this morning, I no longer found it noisy.</p><p class="ql-block">Instead, its quiet purity gave me a gentle sense of joy.</p><p class="ql-block">People often call March snow “noisy spring snow” or “peach blossom snow”.</p><p class="ql-block">Spring should be warming up little by little, yet snow falls suddenly, as if winter has come back for a light visit.</p><p class="ql-block">Spring snow in March brings many benefits to the earth.</p><p class="ql-block">When it melts, it moistens the soil and waters the wheat and young plants.</p><p class="ql-block">The cold also freezes pests and germs, helping crops grow healthily.</p><p class="ql-block">Yet spring snow also has its downsides.</p><p class="ql-block">Peach, apricot and pear blossoms are in full bloom now.</p><p class="ql-block">The sudden cold may damage the flowers and young buds.</p><p class="ql-block">Through the ages, writers have written tender lines about spring snow in March.</p><p class="ql-block">Among the most touching are poems by Wen Tingyun, and the peaceful joy of snow described by the Three Yuans.</p><p class="ql-block">Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty wrote:</p><p class="ql-block">Snow falls all night in late March,</p><p class="ql-block">Yet it does not harm the beauty of spring.</p><p class="ql-block">As spring is drawing to an end,</p><p class="ql-block">Snow stays to accompany the pear blossoms.</p><p class="ql-block">It means the snow does not hurt the spring scenery.</p><p class="ql-block">It only stays to bloom alongside the pear flowers as spring fades.</p><p class="ql-block">This is the charm of March snow: it does not compete with spring, but adds grace to it.</p><p class="ql-block">The Three Yuans of the Ming Dynasty — Yuan Zongdao, Yuan Hongdao, Yuan Zhongdao — understood this quiet beauty best.</p><p class="ql-block">Yuan Zhongdao wrote in his notes:</p><p class="ql-block">Heavy snow fell at night.</p><p class="ql-block">I planned to take a boat to Shashi, but was stopped by the snow.</p><p class="ql-block">Yet amidst the bamboo, snow pattered softly, clear and musical.</p><p class="ql-block">Inside, the window was dim, the fire warm.</p><p class="ql-block">I read a few books at will, and found simple joy in this quiet moment.</p><p class="ql-block">Yuan Hongdao described spring snow vividly:</p><p class="ql-block">It seems to dust the peach blossoms with light powder,</p><p class="ql-block">And dances softly with willow catkins in the air.</p><p class="ql-block">Yuan Zongdao wrote of the pure quiet after snow:</p><p class="ql-block">After the snow, the western mountains feel closer,</p><p class="ql-block">Willows stretch longer in the mist.</p><p class="ql-block">The spring snow in the three brothers’ writings is either peaceful, beautiful, or calm.</p><p class="ql-block">All express a heart that accepts nature gently and finds joy within.</p><p class="ql-block">When snow comes to visit spring, one needs not hurry.</p><p class="ql-block">Go with the flow, and peace will come naturally.</p><p class="ql-block">Just like how I feel at this moment.</p><p class="ql-block">March is a time of warm wind, tender buds, and blooming flowers.</p><p class="ql-block">In the south, it often rains;</p><p class="ql-block">In the north, we are blessed with fine, light snow.</p><p class="ql-block">Its beauty lies in its gentleness.</p><p class="ql-block">Not heavy like winter snow, not piercingly cold.</p><p class="ql-block">It falls softly, covering the waking spring like a thin white garment.</p><p class="ql-block">On trees, it looks like frost-white velvet; on cars, like fine powder.</p><p class="ql-block">This thin spring snow is elegantly cold, purely white.</p><p class="ql-block">It calms my heart.</p><p class="ql-block">Not cold, not restless, not noisy.</p><p class="ql-block">Clean, clear, and peaceful.</p><p class="ql-block">I suddenly realize:</p><p class="ql-block">When the heart grows soft,</p><p class="ql-block">Even the snow becomes gentle.</p>
