我送三婶到大门口,对她说谢谢。三婶说,咱不说远亲近邻,我懂你妈的心思。我知道她舍不下老家。庄稼人走到哪里,其实根都牢牢扎在老家的土里。另外,我给你们钥匙,还有一个原因。还记得你在家的时候,经常问我为什么总带着一把老钥匙吗?我的老家在遥远的山里,是土房子,因为一场突来的泥石流,房子没有了,但母亲一直让我们自个儿保存着属于自己的那把老钥匙。想家的时候,我就看看老钥匙,摸摸老钥匙,想象着转动钥匙打开门锁,爹娘兄妹啊,那些熟悉的物件啊,一下子呼啦啦在眼前演电影,心里就热乎乎的,就连当初的一些懊恼、吵闹都成了好。你们想回来看看的时候就回来,这里啥时候都是你们的家。
①雪花平平仄仄落下来,散在我的脸上,像针,刺入肌肤。这痛告诉我,自己还在这个城市活着。②寒冷。这是这个城市,在这个夜晚,留给我唯一真实的印记。③三年了,一千多个日夜,我三次告别父母,远走他乡,在这个城市开始自己的事业。但最终,三次创业换来的结局,是最初的壮志雄心成了今晚口袋里仅剩的十五块钱。我淡淡发笑,索性把这十五块钱,再换成三罐啤酒,一无所有,大概,不过如此吧。
在此基础上,诞生了完整的二十四节气。用今天的天文学来解释,地球轨道投影到太阳系模型上形成的坐标系,为黄道坐标系。黄经,将这个坐标系的横轴,以春分为起点,自西向东度量,分360度,共有二十四个等份,每份15度,为一个节气。基本规律是:每月两节不变更,最多相差一两天。上半年是6日和21日,下半年是8日和23日。古人将每月的第一个节气称为“节”,每月的第二个节气称为“气”。“节”和“气”交替出现,各历时15天左右,如:在4月份有清明和谷雨两个节气。二十节气中,反映四季变化的节气有:立春、立夏、立秋、立冬、春分、秋分、夏至、冬至8个节气;反映气候变化的有:小暑、大暑、处暑、小寒、大寒5个节气;反映天气现象的有:雨水、谷雨、白露、寒露、霜降、小雪、大雪7个节气;反映物候现象的有:惊蛰、清明、小满、芒种四个节气;可以毫不夸张地说,二十四节气传统历法的关键和核心。
