沧州南一寺临河干,山门圮于河,二石兽并沉焉。阅十余岁,僧募金重修,求二石兽于水中,竟不可得。以为顺流下矣,棹数小舟,曳铁钯,寻十余里,无迹。一讲学家设帐寺中,闻之笑曰:“尔辈不能究物理,是非木杮,岂能为暴涨携之去?乃石性坚重,沙性松浮,湮于沙上,渐沉渐深耳。沿河求之,不亦颠乎?”众服为确论。一老河兵闻之,又笑曰:“凡河中失石,当求之于上流。盖石性坚重,沙性松浮,水不能冲石,其反激之力,必于石下迎水处啮沙为坎穴,渐激渐深,至石之半,石必倒掷坎穴中。如是再啮,石又再转。转转不已,遂反溯流逆上矣。求之下流,固颠;求之地中,不更颠乎?”如其言,果得于数里外。然则天下之事,但知其一,不知其二者多矣,可据理臆断欤?
微塑料在海洋中的扩散性更强。荷兰科学家曾研究过太平洋塑料垃圾带,发现塑社虽然只占到塑料总质量的8%,但是却占到浮在此区域塑料面积的94%。微塑料在海洋中无处不在,且具有很大的隐藏性。2017年,我国“蛟龙号”载人潜水器从大洋深处4500米处带回的海洋生物,在其体内竟也检出微塑料的成分。微塑料更容易进入食物链,对海洋生态系统造成严重的影响。美国有关人士曾指出,丢弃在水中的塑料拉圾已危害到逾600种海洋生物,造成鲸鱼、海龟、海豚、鱼和海鸟等受伤或死亡。
“鱼跃练川抛玉尺,莺穿丝柳织金梭。”一条鱼跃过像白绸一样的水面,如同一根玉尺抛在白绸子上;黄莺穿过像丝一样的柳条,像一枚金梭在许多条丝线中穿织。你看,多么漂亮,而且对仗工整,但只是描述风景外在的形象,没有内心的感动。这样,即使写出再漂亮的句子,也只有文字和技巧,缺乏诗歌应有的生命。“群鸡正乱叫”是杜甫的诗句,只看这一句,好像不是好诗。但读诗不能只看一句,要看整体的传达。《羌村》整组诗,表现的是诗人历经战争离乱,与妻子儿女长期分别后回家重逢的情形,“群鸡正乱叫”这句诗就有了一种朴实真切的叙写,更有一份亲切热烈的感情。
奇异果的第一站从它的发源地一—湖北宜昌市夷陵区开始。谁是尝鲜这种果子的第一人已无从得知,然而它流传最广的名字却是“猕猴桃”:一说是,这种果子外皮一层绒毛,状似猕猴而得名;而另一种说法则称是因为生长在山间的果实常被猕猴食用。这名称一直沿用至今。发源于夷陵山间的猕猴桃,在数千年间缓慢地持续着它的旅程一向北延伸到陕西、甘肃、河南一带;向西南去往贵州、云南和四川,在长江中下游流域,尤其夷陵区雾渡河最为多见。虽然历史记载源远流长,但我国的猕猴桃却一直都未被驯化栽培。野外的猕猴桃,如果生在深山中,多被猴子们摘去果腹;即使被少数人家移植到庭院里,猕猴桃也只是用来观赏而非食用。归根结底,直到几十年前,猕猴桃在国内还只是一种野果。
文人收藏紫砂壶,已不仅仅是为了品茶,更是为了在闲暇之余,在竹影琳琅、绿影映墙之时,拿在手里细细把玩,修身养性、涵养品德。紫砂壶也因之成为文人梦寐以求的茶具,甚至千金难求,罕如美玉。紫砂壶名家供春所制紫砂壶,清朝时期成为极品。雍正年间的状元周澍曾得到一款供春的紫砂壶,绘画著文之余,泡茶独品,清雅非常。此壶价钱,用他的文字描述:“供春小壶一具,用之数年,则值金一笏。”
故乡的风之所以气势恢宏,是其中的沙尘充当了风的武器。那时的风与沙尘,像是从未分开过。风力助推沙尘漫天席卷,掀翻了街口摆着糖果的摊板,刮跑了老爷爷头上的帽子。偶尔看见骑自行车的人,在风里歪扭一阵之后,不得不屈尊下驾,吃力地推车前行。有时在教室里正聚精会神地听讲,风猛然用力,让玻璃飞出窗框,在书桌上和地上“哗”地破碎。我和同伴们对风的防御,最早使用的是风镜。顾名思义,风镜就是防风的眼镜。玻璃镜片镶在细细的钢丝框上,四周有密织的布罩,两端用皮筋连接,套在头上拉至眼部,风便吹不着眼睛了。每副风镜五分钱,后来有了塑料的镜片,价格要高出很多。戴风镜并不完全是为了防风,重点是防风里的沙子。
