腊八望年

Laba Festival:A Prelude to Spring Festival

“过了腊八就是年”。又到腊八,年又到了眼前。说到年,我便不自觉地想起了雪。以往每每到了腊八节前后,雪便不断光顾烟台,一天一场小雪三天一场大雪成了生活中的常规,尤其靠近年关时节,雪便更加频繁起来,似乎没有雪年就没有了趣味,雪是为年而来的。每年“小雪”节气的时候,雪是一定会前来应景的,稀稀落落的雪花从遥远的天空中缓缓地飘落,生怕惊动了大地,惊动了世间万物,蹑手蹑脚,试探着落在孑然孤独的树枝上,茕茕孑立的枯草上,落寞寂寥的屋顶上,像柳絮般轻飘飘地游荡着。

Just as the saying goes,"when the Laba Festival comes,the Spring Festival is not afar."With the coming of the Laba Festival again,the Spring Festival is drawing nearer and nearer.Speaking of the Spring Festival,I think of snow unconsciously.
