Nowadays, we are in a prosperous era, all industries are prosperous, science and technology are developed, crops are harvested year after year, people's living standards are improving year by year, and food and clothing are worry-free. Naturally, no one in Willow Forest Village will eat willow leaves to satisfy their hunger. However, after the development and utilization of the willow tree, it has become larger, more and more extensive, and has become a cash cow and a wealth tree for the villagers to make a fortune.

Sister Yun, Wang Xiaofeng, Li Liuying, and Sun Jianjun were very happy to see the successful development and construction of the Bahe Wetland Park, the increasing number of tourists, and the great increase in local financial revenue. Reporters from county and city television stations interviewed them, and as soon as they were broadcast on the television stations, they immediately shook the people of the county, the city, and the whole province. Everyone said that they have done a great thing for the local people and to protect the Bahe wetland, which will benefit the present generation and extend to future generations. Therefore, they have also become celebrities in the county, the city, and the province, and everyone praises them when they are mentioned. They often feel that under the fame, it is actually difficult to deserve; Therefore, it stimulates their enthusiasm for doing good deeds and seeking welfare for the local people.

One day, Sister Yun said to Wang Xiaofeng: "I think the pace of our Liulin Village getting rid of poverty and becoming rich should be faster." Wang Xiaofeng said: "Then what should I do?" Or, let's buy more pesticides and fertilizers in the spring? Sister Yun said: "Blood transfusion is not as good as hematopoiesis." There are so many willow trees in the village of Willow Grove. In the past, the standard of living in the countryside was low, and people used willow trees to build houses, make furniture, and make baskets, which was still very useful. Nowadays, the people's living standards have improved, and willow wood is no longer used to build houses and make furniture. The willow tree is of no use other than as a landscape tree. I think the willow tree is still very useful, but we haven't used it well. Wang Xiaofeng said: "How do you plan to develop?" Sister Yun said: "I don't have a complete plan yet. I would like to have a serious discussion with the professionals of the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau and the Garden Bureau, listen to their opinions, and then make a plan. ”

The next day, Sister Yun and Wang Xiaofeng asked the head of Niu Township, and made an appointment with the branch secretary and village director of Liulin Village to visit the County Agriculture and Forestry Bureau and the Garden Bureau, and listened carefully to the guidance of professional scientific and technological personnel. After returning, they repeatedly studied and made a decision: Fengyun Washing Machine Factory invested one million yuan for the transformation of willow varieties in Liulin Village. According to the opinions of professionals from the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau and the Garden Bureau, the village committee cultivates and develops new willow varieties, adapts measures to local conditions, and plants them extensively to form a scale; Then, according to different willow varieties, according to the aptitude, a variety of willow wood, willow weaving technology and related businesses have been opened up, so as to promote the economy of Liulin Village and increase the income of the villagers. Improving the standard of living. When the people of the village heard that Sister Yun and Wang Xiaofeng had invested one million yuan in the development and utilization of willow trees, they were enthusiastic and actively took action.

According to the opinions of the scientific and technological personnel of the County Agriculture and Forestry Bureau and the Garden Bureau, Liushulin Village first adjusted the willow planting layout. They used the weeping willow as a landscape tree and planted it around the village, on the sides of the roads, in parks and in economic and technological development zones. A few years later, rows of weeping willows are pruned and draped, green trees are shady, and small birds are singing, making the living environment here more beautiful and beautiful, and the air is fresher and warmer, making it a well-known place to live. Ordinary willow trees are planted on the ridges of the fields, so that large areas of the garden have natural zoning, and they can also prevent wind and sand. More are planted on beaches and dikes and embankments in rivers, lakes, ponds and wetlands; The soil here is moist and fertile, and it grows into a large forest belt in a few years, which not only has the effect of greening and beautifying the natural environment and purifying the air, but also enables the local people to use willow wood to process planks and have an inexhaustible source of wood. The greater benefit is to create a quiet and beautiful home for birds to build nests and nests, so that the number and variety of birds and finches have increased greatly, fields, rivers, lakes, ponds, wetlands, warblers sing and dance everywhere, and the sound of the four seasons is endless. Birds are the natural enemies of pests, and when there are more birds, fewer pests will be few, and many pests will be almost extinct; The crops planted do not need to be pesticides, and the harvested grain is natural, green, and pollution-free products, which are pulled to the market for sale. Therefore, Liushulin Village has become a well-known scenic spot and pollution-free grain production base, attracting tourists from all over the world to visit happily, all the time, stimulating local tourism and farmhouse business, and increasing local finance and villagers' income.

In the 21st century, with the further deepening of reform and opening up, rejuvenating agriculture through science and technology has become the general direction for farmers to shake off poverty and become rich. According to the suggestions of poverty alleviation cadres and scientific and technological personnel of the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau, they have cultivated and introduced many woven willows. Among them, there is a kind of willow called wolfberry, this kind of willow bush is grown without stems, the branches are slender and can reach more than zhang, soft and tough, not easy to break, can be used to weave baskets, baskets, buckets, plaques, absenteeism hats, travel boxes and various sizes of household and car cushions; This kind of wicker is combined with bamboo and wood, and can also be woven into cool beds, seats, reclining chairs, and coffee tables. The remaining small branches are also useful for weaving pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, eagles, swallows, dragonflies, frogs, airplanes, cars, and other children's toys. Therefore, the village set up a variety of names of willow weaving society, the preparation of household appliances, travel equipment, children's toys, styles, categories, uses of a wide variety of sales, widely welcomed and praised by users, become an important source of income for local villagers, a number of villagers have become an annual income of millions of rich money.

Sister Yun and Wang Xiaofeng both like willow utensils, the cool beds, seats, coffee tables, and fruit bowls at home have been replaced with willow ones, and even the curtains, door curtains, wardrobes, hangers, and even refrigerators and air conditioners are decorated with willow kittens, dogs, butterflies, and bees. They said that looking at these willow utensils made them feel warm, cute and have the taste of home.

Not only that, willow trees have also become important local cultural brands, willow forest, willow wind, willow art, has become the name of some new residential areas and the trademark of many famous products. More broadly, willow culture has also entered schools and social publicity and education departments, and has entered thousands of households. Students write essays, literati and writers chant poems and paint, and journalists take photographs and reports, all of which have a rich source of themes, which are inexhaustible and endless for many years. In calligraphy and painting, on TV, and in advertisements, there are all kinds of colorful willow works. The poem "Yongliu" by the famous Tang Dynasty poet He Zhizhang has become a popular poem that is well-known and recited by everyone. "Jasper is made up of a tree high, and ten thousand green silk threads hang down. I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors. Men, women, and children came as soon as they opened their mouths. When the willow flowers spit out and the fields are fragrant, people begin to chant poems praising the catkins again. Especially young people and primary and secondary school students, if they can compose poems, they will write by themselves, and those who can't compose poems will search for poems that chant catkins in ancient and modern poems, pick up their favorite transcriptions, and recite and recite them repeatedly, and they will never get tired of it.

Wang Xiaofeng and Sun Jianjun also like to chant the poems of catkins. They found a few lyrics from "Dream of Red Mansions", copied them, carefully wrote them in calligraphy with a brush, hung them on the wall of the study, and read them when they rested.

I also thought these words were well written, so I also copied a copy of it in my diary, put it on the head of my bed, and read it before going to bed and after waking up. You might as well copy it out here for everyone to enjoy.

"Is it embroidered velvet remnants, rolling up half a curtain of incense mist, and bringing it with its own hands, making the warbler jealous. Stay, stay, don't let the spring light go. ”

"The powder fell into the Hundred Flowers Continent, the fragrant swallow building, a group of pairs. Wandering is as thin as human life, empty, and romantic. The grass and trees are also worried, and Shaohua is white-headed. Sigh who will give and who will receive in this life. It doesn't matter if you marry Dongfeng Chun, go by your own and endure drowning. ”

"The Han Garden is sporadic and limited, the Sui embankment is endlessly dotted, the three spring undertakings pay the east wind, and the bright moon and plum blossoms are a dream. A few red courtyards, whose fragrant snow curtains. Jiangnan and Jiangbei are generally the same, but they are hated by others. ”

Even the local villagers weave willow trees and sing them around:

Willow Village, willow forest, willow smoke like the sea air. In the famine years, the poor were relieved, and the villagers were rich in the prosperous years.

Willow Village, Willow Forest, innovation and reform have made meritorious contributions. The branches are soft for weaving, and the scenery is picturesque to attract visitors.

Willow Village, Willow Forest, Cure the Poor and Get Rich Gold. Prosperous times to create good results, prosperous industry and prosperity.

Therefore, Liushulin Village,—— now Liulin Town, has become a well-known poetry township in North China, and poetry and lyrics have become the amateur life and hobbies of the local people.
