[Character] "Earth Artist" [Story] "Ginkgo Umbrella", Star Pile, Love, Smiling Face... Carefully piecing together scattered ginkgo leaves into various creative patterns, recently, the "artistic creation" of Xiao Lina, a logistics teacher at Dalian Foreign Studies University, and three cleaning aunties has attracted widespread attention. Teachers and students "refresh one aunt's hand rubbing around ginkgo leaves every day" and stop to check in one after another; Netizens lamented that this is the "romantic ceiling" and called them "earth artists", giving them likes and shares. The golden leaves falling from the branches continue the beauty of life in another form. Perhaps some people believe that ordinary work that is similar and tedious can erode the meaning of life, making it a repetition of the same day and making the years that should have had a unique flavor dull and uninteresting. But it is the ordinary work of Teacher Xiao Lina and the aunties that awakens the unique charm of the autumn campus. Perhaps time always has its own flavor. Seemingly 'boring', it's because we lack some 'smacking'. More 'smacking', work will also be creative. When cleaning becomes collection and centralized processing becomes carefully pieced together, the ordinary campus paths can also become a delightful and unique scenery, and the daily cleaning work becomes a fun and artistic creation. The difference between work and creation may seem like a result, but in reality it's a difference in mindset. 'Appearance arises from the heart', maintaining the spark of the soul, feeling the plants and trees in the world with a burning heart, can capture the hidden 'little joys'. Indeed, work is often stacked day after day, and the joy of meeting someone for the first time inevitably fades away. But if the "monk ringing the bell" is turned into a deep understanding, perhaps it will reunite with the initial joy and the enthusiasm of a child. More 'smacking', useless fallen leaves become useful. Patiently arrange and repeatedly adjust, so that the fallen leaves of Xiao Xiao can slowly return to dust, but instead "grow against the age" and regain new life. Change the release of original creative power. Not only fallen leaves, but also the siltation of the river into planting soil, with vegetation filtering runoff, turning the "stinky ditch" in Changde, Hunan into a "golden belt"; By transforming reserve land into pocket parks and expanding existing facilities to post stations, the urban "scraps" of Ma'anshan, Anhui have become leisure "exercise grounds"... Through the magical key of creativity, we can continuously unlock the possibilities of life. By observing with our eyes, thinking with our minds, and transforming with our hands, and relying on our unique creative thinking and behavior, we continuously explore possibilities and enrich functions, achieving the goal of "creating something out of nothing" and "creating something new with something". Through innovation and creation, we can also appreciate our own value and energy. To create, one still needs to touch the boundary between 'non action' and 'action'. Retaining fallen leaves instead of cleaning them up is following the natural beauty of "non action"; Creating a scene without disturbing traffic is about seeking the beauty of daily life through 'being proactive'. The two are harmonious, balancing creative expression and daily order. In reality, there are still many dialectical grasps of "non action" and "action", which make the encounter between the objective world and human society full of the beauty of order. For example, the 'tangible hand' is' inactive 'when the market mechanism operates efficiently, and' active 'when it fails, releasing market vitality while maintaining economic order. This is the beauty of the order in which laws complement human creation. The expression of the beauty of order requires respect for reality and laws as a prerequisite. In dealing with the objective world, one should first observe and then harmonize. Exploring the balance between "non action" and "action" with humility can better achieve harmonious coexistence. The human fascination with the beauty of nature has never ceased and is filled with a passion for interpretation. How should I write to continue it instead of disturbing it? You can also learn a little from the rustling of fallen leaves. It's always a pity to sweep away the fallen ginkgo leaves in previous years, "he said, expressing his appreciation; It's better to present them in a beautiful way and add a different kind of excitement to the campus, willing to contribute; To give teachers and students more emotional value, to pay attention to emotions... Thousands of words, all from the origin of love, with gentle strokes. Carrying kindness and expressing love, engaging in dialogue with nature and society, one can walk hand in hand with life. Taking over the ginkgo umbrella, someone picked up the colorful fallen leaves and skillfully hand-painted a "colorful butterfly" to adorn the umbrella... This creative and romantic relay is still warm and continues. Perhaps these scenery will soon be blown away by the autumn wind, and the external beauty is difficult to freeze, but the waves stirred up by emotions will always ripple layer by layer in the heart lake. More 'smacking' is to cherish the present, cherish each other, and also to look forward to a warm future. (New Society)
