Country Garden and Me
On the way from Panyu City to Shunde City and approaching the conjunction point of both cities, a big advertisement board of the infamous Country Garden will catch your eyes. And on the board, a lovely girl gently holds a little white pigeon.
She looks at everybody with a sweet smile. Who is this girl? Let me tell you later. Country Garden is located at the Beijao town, Shunde City of Guangdong Province. Ten years ago when my Dad and Mom took me as a baby to Guangzhou, it was a wasteland here. But what does this piece of wasteland look like nowadays? Country Garden has been developed and enlarged rapidly on the ground of this land, and a great number of high-quality houses and apartments have been built up within the garden. Over the past decade, other nine country gardens with various unique designs have been erasing around the great city of Guangzhou. The construction and management of several gardens have engaged the devoted contributions from my Dad and Mom.
Country Garden has grown up together with me, and I am one of the witnesses of its growth and development.
今天,我介绍一种美味的点心——小笼包。
要从哪儿开始介绍呢?那就应该从我第一次吃小笼包说起。
有一年春节,妈妈带我去豫园观灯。看完灯会,我们便去吃夜宵。妈妈说:“我带你去吃南翔小笼包。”一进门,就发现里面人山人海,我们排队等了好一会儿才轮到了一个座位。妈妈一上来就点了四客小笼包,我奇怪地问:“妈妈,你点那么多吃得完吗?”妈妈露出一脸神秘的样子说:“等一会儿你就知道了。”
不一会儿,服务员端上了四笼小笼包。妈妈掀开盖子,顿时香味扑鼻,一股热气扑面而来。我仔细打量小笼包,一个个白生生,皮薄薄的,里面好象有一包汁水在里面,形状和包子差不多,难怪叫小笼包。我这时肚子正饿得咕咕叫,恨不得将嘴巴变大,把四笼小笼包一口吞下去。我急急忙忙地夹起一个小笼包塞进嘴巴里,可是连味道还没尝到,就急忙吐了出来,原来小笼包很烫。妈妈说:“吃小笼包应该先醮点醋,轻轻咬一个洞,把里面鲜美的汤汁吸干,再吃皮和肉。小笼包的美味精华就在汤汁里。我按照妈妈的方法吃,汤汁鲜、皮薄肉嫩,真是好吃极了。果然,四客小笼包一会儿就让我和妈妈吃完了。
听了我的介绍,你们已经流口水了吧,还犹豫什么,赶快去尝尝小笼包。
礼是文明和野蛮的分水岭,礼是人与人交往的方式,礼还是日常生活的准则。富贵而知好礼,则不骄不淫;贫贱而知好礼,则志不慑,左传中有言道:“礼,上下之纪,天地之经纬也,民之所以生也;礼,经国家,定社稷,序民人,利后嗣者。”足可见礼仪在文明社会和民生方面所扮演的重要角色。而中国传统礼仪文化经历了千年的历史洗濯和沉淀的,那些优秀的文化价值礼仪不应被摒弃,而应被完善、继承和发扬。
驻德全权大使吴红波曾被德国问道“德国人能从中国学到什么?”,吴红波答道:“谦虚。譬如:中国人完成一个项目,他不会突出自己的作用,他首先讲得是他的团队,他的导师,较少提到自己”,自卑尊人便是中国礼制精神原则所在。所谓“自卑”不是要故装卑微自己,而是放低姿态,谦恭待人。若要好,大敬小。这种诚敬谦让,合众修身的礼仪原则在当代社会仍值得提倡。
传统礼仪还传播了许多优秀的.基本价值观,如敬、恕、诚、信、仁、爱。在现代功利主义教学模式下,我们早已忘了传什么“道”,中国应该传什么“道”。而礼仪文化却给我们提供一个精神平台来领会这些优秀的精神内核。著名文学史者刘梦溪指出:“敬、恕、诚信、仁、爱等,应成为中华儿女的文化识别符号。
然而,传统礼仪也有其闭塞成旧的一面。如古时女子以纤小玉足为美,从小裹脚造成女子足部骨骼被硬性弯折,严重影响了其正常的生理活动;儿女应听父母媒约,指腹为婚是谨守孝道的错误观念也使许多有情人分隔天涯。传统礼仪的封建思想一定程度框限了思想的自由,也阻碍了社会文明的进一步发展。
中华礼仪文化虽有落后、陈旧弊端,但究其本质是对现代社会极有现实意义的优秀精神遗产,永不过时。择善而之,其不善而改之,让其成为国人深层价值的“根”。
