Book Review: Deep Love Of Nature

In recent years, the creation of natural literature has become a hot topic. Many writers take the initiative to intervene in the natural literature, writing the story of man and nature with works of different themes, reflecting on the relationship between man and nature. Li Qingsong is no doubt the backbone of the force, it can be said that people like his name, he is destined to be associated with natural literature. His recently published ecological literature work "believe in nature" expresses his new views on nature and literature in narrative, lyrical and expositive ways.

As an influential writer of natural literature in China, Li Qingsong has been working tirelessly on the theme of ecology and nature for a long time. In his book "believe in nature", 29 non fictional works, essays and essays on natural themes published by him in recent years are included. The objects of writing include mountains, rivers, plants, animals, legends and allusions related to nature. Although the object of each article is nature, behind the text is a writer's deep love for nature.

In Li Qingsong's eyes, nature is the master of all things. In Li Qingsong's eyes, nature preserves tenacity and legend, as well as love and beauty. Nature is a community of life, in which man belongs. Our lives, past, present and future, cannot be separated from nature. They are always connected with the myriad relationships of nature. The traces of nature are everywhere, including invention and creation, literature and art, as well as our thoughts and souls. To believe in nature is to believe in beauty and loftiness.

What is natural literature? Theoretically speaking, there are many interpretations. In short, any literary work that takes nature as the writing object can be called natural literature. Literature is human science, but natural literature is the relationship between man and nature, man and all things.

As a writer of ecological literature, his keen observation and innate surprise are the most basic abilities and qualities. Believing in nature begins with the haraha river. In this paper, Li Qingsong has a close contact with the river in the north. With vivid and warm brushwork, he describes the forests, birds and beasts, fish, fishermen, the changes of the four seasons and the unspeakable and subtle beauty on both sides of the river. The description of animals is vivid and vivid, showing a strong writing skills. For example, he wrote about hazel chicken with flowered tail: "it looks like a cone and small, with black eyes, red eyebrows, sharp claws and short legs. Its body length is full, its feathers are clear and gray, and sometimes there are black brown stripes. From a distance, it is like birch bark, which is not easy to be found." Li Qingsong's literary portrait of animals is realistic and accurate, with a strong sense of picture.

In nature, there are also some rare species that have attracted Li Qingsong's attention. It is not that these species are valuable, but that they play an important role in Science in the origin and evolution of life on earth. Metasequoia glyptostroboides is known as the "living fossil" in the plant kingdom. For a long time, botanists believe that Metasequoia glyptostroboides has disappeared for a long time and can only find traces in fossils. However, there is a Metasequoia with a history of 600 years in the town of Moudao, Lichuan City, on the border of Hubei and Chongqing. The discovery of this Metasequoia changed the history of plant evolution. In the article "the king of Metasequoia", Li Qingsong made a comprehensive biography of Metasequoia glyptostroboides through on-the-spot interview, observation and comparison. For hundreds of years, the Metasequoia glyptostroboides has survived various climatic disasters. In fact, the fate of trees often coincides with the fate of human beings. Some of them leave halfway and some die. In front of a tenacious tree, people actually have nothing to be proud of, and trees are sometimes more tenacious and tenacious.

The view angle of writing tree can be switched. Phoebe fortunei is a rare and precious tree species. It has a supreme and beautiful temperament. It is not noisy, quiet, and unique. It is called "Royal wood". This kind of tree has been growing in the deep mountains of Zhuxi County, Hubei Province. The nanmu trees here were transported to Beijing to repair the Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty. In the article "Phoebe Jinsi", Li Qingsong not only narrates what is Phoebe macclurei, but also narrates the historical allusions related to it. This kind of writing trees from a scientific and humanistic perspective immediately makes the literary image of trees full and full.

Generally speaking, believing in nature tells the story of man and nature, and its enlightenment is various. In front of nature, we should understand that there are laws in heaven and earth, rules in four seasons, and laws in all things. We should learn to revere nature and live in harmony with nature. If we despise, blaspheme or destroy nature, we will inevitably suffer the retaliation of nature. No matter from the perspective of literary creation or ecological governance, natural literature has a long way to go. Excellent works can help the process of ecological civilization construction from the spiritual level. In this sense, the development and prosperity of natural literature in China is ushering in a historic opportunity.
