Quotations from Shennong. Humans should love the earth

"Green Island X Reed Rice Comes" rice field on hillside The white mist dissipates in the dawn Egret is playing in the water sea breeze breath of the pacific swaying rice A sea of golden abundance rice sound song of dirt 🌾 I met Pei Wei when I was living in Taitung. Pei Wei is a natural farming farmer living on the east coast. She produces pure food with no fertilization or spraying, and she firmly believes that such food will bring happiness to people. Every time I hear her tell her story in the land, I am always deeply moved. Because of her, I feel more deeply that human beings, whether they are conscious or ignorant, cannot live without this land. I remembered that one day, I asked Pei Wei, what is "friendliness"? And her answer at the time was: "For me, true friendliness is not just friendliness to humans. True friendliness is friendliness to humans, to the land, and to everything in the world." At that moment, I was deeply moved. Because I know, these words they are not empty. They grow steadily from Peiwei's life like a seedling planted in spring. 🌾 "When I take care of the land, I am taken care of by the land." One afternoon, I followed Pei Wei to patrol the fields and water. I followed her that day, watching her walk on the green field ridge, squatting down from time to time to adjust the soil position of the water outlet. The so-called "patrol water" means that farmers must pay attention to the balance between water and seedlings every day. And this kind of balance is the law that the universe has existed in this world since the beginning of the prehistoric times. We live in a world where this small group of natural farmers makes the law manifest without interfering with nature. Looking at the figure of Peiwei patrolling the water in the fields, that day, I just knew for sure that there are still such a group of people in this world who maintain such a beautiful relationship with the land, and I felt a sense of happiness miraculously. Pei Wei said: "When I take care of the land, I am also taken care of by the land." The reality of working on the land makes Peiwei feel his own vitality in this reality. At the same time, those of us who eat her rice are also moved by this truth. For me, Peiwei not only takes care of the land, she also leads some souls into this goodness. This world is a little better because of Pei Wei's existence. 🌾 About "Shen Nong Quotations" Peiwei's words come from her most real experience of working on the land. Every time I listen to it, it's like the soul is knocked on the head and patted on the shoulder by the mother of the earth. Because of this, everyone began to record what Pei Wei had said, and dubbed it "Shen Nong Quotations". Although it is a joking name, in fact, this phrase "Shen Nong" is full of the lofty respect of those of us who "open our mouths" and are only responsible for eating. This collaboration between Qingqing's Island and Weiwei Daolai is the first time that Qingqing's Island has printed words that are not written by me. Because I really like it so much, I really want to invite everyone to feel the beauty and power in these words. Of course, it is also to support the most authentic life of friendly farmers. This group of works that I like very much was born in a very beautiful heart. I want to thank everyone who has read this, and thank you for your willingness to listen. Anyway, I think we all have a lovely heart. May we meet in that heart field one day. 🌾 "Shen Nong Quotations" There are eight models in this series. The written content is provided by Weiweidao, handwritten and printed by Qingqingdao. The paper is muffin paper full of earthy rustic atmosphere. The size is postcard size, about 11X15 cm. The color is an earth tone specially selected by Green Island, it is beautiful and you will love it. 🌾 When I finished writing this group of postcards, I found that the font became a little cute. Trying to think about the reason, I think it is because these words come from different sources from Qingqingdao's characters, so I have a different mood at the moment of writing. Different mood, different words, this is a great experience for me. At the moment of writing this group of words, I once again deeply understand the deep meaning contained in these words and sentences. When I write, it seems to be engraved on the soul, and I am often moved to the point of no return. "When we meet on Earth at this moment, we will exist properly." I will cherish the beauty of these encounters in life, because these encounters will make me understand more about what kind of existence I am. I hope that you and I can follow the flow of life, live a good life, take good care of ourselves, and love this land and ourselves with a pure heart. Deeply blessed.
