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。

农谚有“小满小满,麦粒渐满”的说法。此时,小麦度过一冬的休眠期后,经过返青拔节,抽穗开花,亟须熏风暖熟,虽然仍是一片青绿,但有着一股蓄势待发的劲头。麦穗已经抽齐,麦粒鼓着腮帮一般,泛出一层透明的绿色。等到这晶莹的嫩绿变为黄绿,麦子也即将成热了。农谚又云“小满未满,还有危险”。小麦成长的最后阶段灌浆期十分关键,籽粒才刚刚盈实,若碰到灾难天气或病虫害,麦粒未经过充分的乳熟期,小麦的品质便会大打折扣。

那位教师立刻用这束树枝朝她颈背上狠狠抽打了十几下。彭斯的眼里没有涌出一滴眼泪。我目睹着这一场面,不由得升起了一股徒劳无益的怒火,气得双手直发抖,只得停下手中的活儿,可是她那张若有所思的脸上,却神色如常,没有一点变化。“倔脾气的姑娘!”斯凯契德小姐嚷道,“你那邋遢习惯怎么也改不了啦。把扫帚拿走!”彭斯遵命照办了。当她从藏书室里出来时,我仔细朝她打量着。她正把自己的手绢放回口袋,瘦削的脸颊上还有一丝泪痕在闪闪发光。

一位食客说道:“怎么个比法?”小福子说:“我和师父各耍一趟面,要是我赢了,师父就得让出得月楼总厨的位置。”一听此话,众人顿时议论纷纷,有人问:“那你要是输了呢?”小福子一笑:“我要是输了,就头顶面盆,膝跪案板,向师父赔礼道歉,并永世不再耍面。”大伙心里一惊、这小子来真的了。得月楼的老板怕事情闹大不好收场,准备过来劝劝。谁知,余师傅对着小福子一笑:“好,我答应你。”

谦虚并非故意自贬身价,做客套应酬,像虚伪者所常表现的假面孔;它是起于自知之明,知道自己所已知的比起世间所可知的非常渺小,未知世界随着已知世界扩大,愈前走发现天边愈远。他发现宇宙的无边无底,对之不能不起崇高雄伟之感,反观自己渺小,就不能不起谦虚之感。谦虚必起于自我渺小的意识,谦虚者的心目中必有一种为自己所不知不能的高不可攀的东西,老是要抬着头去望它。这东西可以是全体宇宙,可以是圣贤豪杰,也可以是一个崇高的理想。一个人必须见地高远,知道天高地厚才能真正地谦虚,不知道天高地厚的人就老是觉得自己伟大,海若未曾望洋,就以为“天下之美尽在己”。谦虚有它消极方面,就是自我渺小的意识;也有它积极方面,就是高远的瞻瞩与恢阔的胸襟。

古琴之外的其他弹拔乐器一般都是点状出音,即每弹一次出一音,因而音与音之间会有明显的间隙,不连贯。这使它们在表现音乐的强度和力度方面,有一定的效果,但在表现深邃、悠远的意境方面,有着明显的欠缺。然而古琴却没有这样的缺憾。古琴的有效弦长特别长,振幅大,振动时间久,所以古琴在演奏中会出现独有的“走手音”。“走手音”的特点之一,就是它所造就的线状音迹能让声音产生游动感。这可以使琴音显得绵延而深远。

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。

我常想,读书人是世间幸福人,因为他除了拥有现实的世界之外,还拥有另一个更为浩瀚也更为丰富的世界。现实的世界是人人都有的,而后一个世界却为读书人所独有。由此我想,那些失去或不能阅读的人是多么的不幸,它们的丧失是不可补偿的。世间有诸多的不平等,财富的不平等,权力的不平等,而阅读能力的拥有或丧失却体现为精神的不平等。一个人的一生,只能经历自己拥有的那一份欣悦,那一份苦难,也许再加上他亲自感知的那一些关于自身以外的经历和经验。然而,人们通过阅读,却能进入不同时空的诸多他人的世界。这样,具有阅读能力的人,无形间获得了超越有限生命的无限可能性。阅读不仅使他认识了草木虫鱼之名,而且可以上溯远古下及未来,饱览存在的与非存在的奇风异俗。
