In a distant place, there is a lonely wanderer named Lin Feng. He left his hometown and embarked on a journey full of unknowns in pursuit of his dreams. However, as time goes by, the longing for his hometown and relatives surges in his heart like a tide, making him unable to extricate himself.
Lin Feng often thinks of every plant and tree in his hometown in the dead of night. The familiar streets, warm houses, and friendly accents have all become the most precious memories in his heart. He misses the care of his parents, the company of his siblings, the delicious food in his hometown and that familiar land. This longing is like a raging fire, burning his heart and making him feel extremely painful and lonely.
One day, Lin Feng accidentally heard about an ancient Taoist temple. This Taoist temple is located in a peaceful valley, surrounded by lush trees and singing birds and fragrant flowers. It is said that the gods in the Taoist temple can hear people's voices and give them spiritual comfort. Lin Feng's heart was moved. He decided to go to the Taoist temple to find a trace of peace of mind.
When Lin Feng came to the Taoist temple, he was shocked by the sight in front of him. The architecture of the Taoist temple is simple and elegant, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. Red walls and green tiles, upturned eaves and dougong seem to be telling stories of the years. The environment around the Taoist temple is quiet and serene, with lush trees and gurgling streams, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Lin Feng walked into the Taoist temple with reverence. His heart was full of expectations. In the main hall of the Taoist temple, he saw the solemn and majestic statues. These statues seem to be silently watching him, making him feel an invisible power. Lin Feng stood quietly in front of the statues, closed his eyes, and felt everything around him with his heart.
At that moment, Lin Feng's heart was full of peace and serenity. He seemed to forget his troubles and pain and was immersed in a mysterious atmosphere. He thought of his hometown and relatives, and a strong feeling of longing welled up in his heart. He decided to express his longing in a special way. So, he took out a bag of red beans from his backpack.
Red beans have always been regarded as a symbol of longing in Chinese culture. "Red beans are born in the southern country. How many branches grow in spring? I hope you pick many. This thing is the most yearning." This poem deeply expresses people's longing for relatives and friends. Lin Feng placed the red beans on the offering table in front of the statue. Then, he knelt on both knees, put his hands together, and prayed silently.
He prayed that the gods could bless his hometown and relatives and keep them safe and healthy. He also prayed that the gods could give him strength so that he could realize his dream soon, return to his hometown, and reunite with his relatives. During the prayer, Lin Feng's heart was full of emotion and warmth. He knew that he was not alone. The gods had been silently watching him and giving him strength and courage.
In Taoist thought, longing is a beautiful emotion. Taoism emphasizes following nature and pursuing inner peace and tranquility. Although the feeling of longing makes people feel painful and lonely, it is also a motivation that can make people cherish the people and things around them more and work harder to pursue their dreams.
In Taoist allusions, there are many stories about longing and reunion. For example, the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl tells the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl falling in love but being separated by the Milky Way and can only meet on the Double Seventh Festival every year. This story expresses people's longing for love and reunion. Lin Feng was inspired by this allusion. He understood that although the feeling of longing is painful, it is also a beautiful emotion that can make people more firm in their beliefs and pursue their own happiness.
In the tranquility of the Taoist temple, Lin Feng found spiritual comfort. He began to re-examine his life and think about his future. He knew that he couldn't be immersed in longing all the time. He had to bravely face reality and work hard to realize his dream. He decided to work harder, learn more knowledge and skills, and lay a solid foundation for his future.
As time passed, Lin Feng's life gradually became fulfilling. He made great progress at work and made many new friends. However, the longing for his hometown and relatives never changed. He often took out that bag of red beans, looked at them, and his heart was full of warmth and emotion.
Finally, after a long wait, Lin Feng ushered in an opportunity. His company decided to send him back to his hometown to carry out an important business. Lin Feng was full of joy and excitement. He knew that he could finally go home. When leaving the Taoist temple, Lin Feng came to the statue again and expressed his gratitude to the gods.
He thanked the gods for giving him spiritual comfort when he was most difficult and helping him find the direction to move forward. He also thanked the gods for giving him the opportunity to return to his hometown and reunite with his relatives. Lin Feng took that bag of red beans and embarked on the journey home. His heart was full of expectations and joy. He knew that he was about to usher in a new beginning.
On the way home, Lin Feng was in an extremely comfortable mood. He looked at the scenery outside the window and was full of emotions. He thought of the scene when he left his hometown and thought of every bit of his experience outside. He knew that he had grown up and become more mature and stronger.
When Lin Feng finally returned to his hometown, he was moved by the sight in front of him. Everything in his hometown has not changed. It is still so familiar and warm. He saw the expectant eyes of his parents and the kind smiles of his siblings. He ran forward, hugged them tightly, and tears welled up in his eyes.
At that moment, Lin Feng felt the warmth and happiness of home. He knew that his longing had finally been rewarded. He gave that bag of red beans to his parents and told them that this was his longing and concern when he was outside. His parents took the red beans, and their eyes were full of emotion and relief.
From then on, Lin Feng cherished the time with his family even more. He knew that home was his eternal harbor. No matter where he went, home would always be there waiting for him. And that bag of red beans has also become the most precious memory in his heart, always reminding him to cherish the people and things around him and bravely pursue his own happiness.
In this world full of challenges and opportunities, each of us may become a wanderer, far away from our hometown and relatives, and pursue our own dreams. However, no matter where we go, the longing for our hometown and relatives will always accompany us. Let us be like Lin Feng, find strength in longing, find hope in difficulties, and bravely pursue our own happiness.
And that ancient Taoist temple will also always remain in Lin Feng's heart and become his spiritual sustenance. There, he found spiritual comfort and became more firm in his beliefs. It will continue to witness the stories of countless wanderers and give them strength and courage to move forward on the road of life.
