A burst of bu, awakened me from a dream, rubbed his eyes, a moment where I actually forgot. At this time, hands just point to 6:00.
Open the sash, tall trees at the mango tree shrouded in thick green cover immediately in my eyes, the size of the above there are a few pigeons, but it is the end of flower color bird neck, in the pleasant manner with tits like each other singing in antiphonal style, but also visitors from afar like a calling. Some of the roof, the lawn, pecking pebbles on the path, jumping tits naturally unwilling, but also where "chirp, Jojo," to keep barking.
Village, woke up.
I walk aimlessly wander in the village on the road, regardless of where the eyes saccade, there will be flowers photo eyes. Many courtyards blooming with Dahlia, peony flower, Chinese rose. There are flowers and trees I do not know, unfortunately, there is no way to record their names. For example, the front of this strain Jizhang high trees, is too beautiful, the entire crown Zhuiman a bright red flowers, such as kapok in southern China, however, is the first after flowering kapok leaves, flowers, Sa Sa yo, but this tree it is decorated with flowers, like the torch, Cabernet Sauvignon, and truly be called "branches spring to seek" the. Of course, "spring to" also is not accurate, since it is time to shut up here to winter.
The villagers after another out of the house, some dressed in long Bu Pao, some dressed in dark Sari saw my stranger's face was red ocher, deep-set eyes on the flash head with a quiet, friendly look. Pupils to wear national costumes down much, mostly a jacket pants, wearing a cap to cover eaves, double-back leaving for school, fully dressed children in town want to go to school come from the television.
This little mountain village of Nike Tan Ming Jiaosang to "paradise" in general, it is quiet at the southern foot of the Himalayas. "Birds go bird mountains, the people who cry acoustic song of" thousands of years, Jakunen unknown. Only because of the great Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore and settle down here before, before it sound noisy world, people hanging books. In 1861, the poet was born in Calcutta, in 1901 moved to here this as a dividing line, both before and after just four decades. That is, the poet's half of the years spent in here. In the past, I have often asked the question whether: That Sandinista Nike Tan is the crux of what it? Why is so much charm as much to attract the poet are accompanied with it for so many years?
Chinese writers delegation arrived here last night. From Calcutta by train, walking for more than four hours, Boerpuer station stop - ah, where a plug, Rabindranath Tagore's "Memoirs" is written like this: "We arrived at Boerpuer, has been is Dusk. I got into the sedan chair, eyes on the closed. I wanted to retain the wonderful scene in order to dawn then it is opened, put in my sober eyes. I am afraid the experience of fresh color, will be was obtained in the evening twilight in the non-perfect glimpse of destruction. "I was feeling just that. Times are in the winter, different is that we take the village is a car, while in一百二十七年ago, he was sitting chair. That year his father had the trip to the Himalayas, 12-year-old Tagore, followed his father, and spent his whole life in the most happy days.
The poet's childhood was spent in Calcutta of the old one. Is responsible for the care of his servants, for the four wandering he can put his ring in a large room. Servants around him with the chalk and drew a circle, and then threatening tone of voice warned that if casually go out, they attracted terrible scourge. Tagore had heard about a small "Ramayana," the story noted the well-known hostess crossed the circle after more than all the disasters suffered, so he sat all day in-situ does not move,不敢越雷池一步.
Came to this small mountain village, he felt that day also high, and places have also been enlarged, the total liberation of body and mind, and 1:00-fu to mind, even lying in a small jujube, under the notebook to write his first poetic drama. Back later, he still imagined to become a golden flower, forming an unusual partnership with nature, imagination of "the dream of the dim little way to find my pre-existence of love." Even in a poem, address him by Sandinista Nike Tan for his "Zheju lover in their soul."

Walking through the small mountain village on the road, I thought of a question: India and Russia Tagore poems Weng great writer Lev. Tolstoy is quite similar. 2 people are born in the nineteenth century, the great world-class writer; were born in the name as mayor, the family were out of a lot of writers and artists; I have access to 80 over the age of longevity; particular, they have a long life in the village. At that time, I remember a Qing Dynasty's poem: "thousand flowers, such as a possession of the sea." Weng care of this, the more so in Thailand Weng.
"Hiding" the original 2-yi, where shelter should be interpreted, but should not be interpreted as a hidden front, Masquerade. The first year of the twentieth century, Rabindranath Tagore is to forward to a great attempt to come to the Sandinista Nike Tan's. His pain was under British colonial slavery need to raise people's consciousness, from the British Victorian era of migration to the territory of India the kind of mechanical rigid, lifeless way of education need of reform. In order to be in the new century begins to explore a new way to nurture talent, he wanted to set up a run by its own direct management of schools. In his view, the school and their own settlement must choose a quiet, elegant environment, and must be close to nature. In this way, the poet has selected the Sandinista Nike Tan - the childhood, who have the unlimited fascinating place.
Since childhood, Rabindranath Tagore would love the magic of nature, accustomed to over the simple life, he also hoped that their children in such an ideal Academy in healthy growth. He assumed that the ancient and the modern educational environment for a perfect combination of educational content. Philosopher of ancient India, the ideal retreat in the forest scene, has been emerging in the poet's mind: In the tall trees, deep solemn and quiet environment, the wise philosopher who educate their disciples, in the simple living conditions and foster the lofty ideals and intensive studies. India's traditional classic "Upanishads" is in this atmosphere the formation of the text.
After people have eaten breakfast, we had a host, accompanied by Rabindranath Tagore came to this so named for world-class reputation in the world of the international university. Campus environment and elegant, quiet, and very wide, a village of dirt roads to it with separate residential buildings. At that time the school was founded in 1901, only including the eldest son of Rabindranath Tagore, including five students and five teachers, today, has been extended to more than a dozen departments, have come from 26 countries, 5000 students and 600 20 teachers.
This school has experienced the entire course of the twentieth century, the threshold of its centennial, but according to the school introduced its school of thought, teaching methods, they are basically still insist on the principles established in the same day Thevon, has not changed much. Class, teachers and students remain, as then, as clouds of sitting under the trees. We walk in the vast lawn, see a lot of group of students sitting in a tree cover, Ting-ting, such as the following, enthusiastically learning tasks, discussing issues. Students wear simple, there are some still barefoot, but the mentality is healthy and lively. The school management said that this totally integrated with the natural environment, will help students to receive pure, clean heart mold, the emotional world and understand the nature of the process, stimulate curiosity, imagination, develop their own hands-on capacity.
From 1902 to 1907, death appears to have been living in Tagore's home in just five years, took away four of his relatives, his warm love nest has been the impact of too shaky. First, more than 20 years, accompanied by wife let go of this mortal life so that he experienced the "middle-aged widowed" plight; nine months after the 13-year-old daughter, then two other people sad miserable world; Later, illness has engulfed his beloved father; followed by the youngest son died of cholera, there are only 13 years old. Grief and Kuji depressed poets become more aggravated and bored, but also profoundly clue of the great poet, through the shadow of death made him even more appreciate the deep love, health of the valuable, therefore, exceptionally love the blue sky, the earth, cherish a broad and magnificent life. In particular, from the gathering to the Sandinista Nike Tan innocence of the young body, he seems to have found the love of parents and children the joy and truth, he似水from those of pure childish hearts received consolation draw strength, and thus began to calm down the heart pain.
Known as "global citizens" of Tagore's reputation, has always advocated a culture among all the nations to mutual exchanges and common development. He once made a line as the motto of the ancient Sanskrit Poems: "The whole world have gathered in a nest inside." Convinced that human thought is the medium through a profound linked, social change in one aspect will inevitably affect the other On the one hand. Multi-dimensional vision through his efforts to explore the Indian peoples of the world literature, literature and multi-level contact between the hope to set up among the various ethnic groups from the golden bridge. And the creation of Tagore International University, it is the successful practice of this great idea.
To the late nineteenth century, Rabindranath Tagore i.e. show remarkable artistic talent, has made the brilliant results of the early creation. However, as the great poet, life, the formation of many important ideas, such as for nature, life, art and religion, in-depth reflection, it is moved to Santee in the growing maturity of the Nike Tan. Several of his most important novels, one after another during this period. Especially the "kora", the critics put it on than the Tolstoy's "War and Peace", it also profoundly analyzed the characteristics of the times with the complexity of social life and its contradictions, and thus become the glorious history of Indian literature epic poetry.
Of course, the most important thing is to win a Nobel Prize-known lyrical poems "Gitanjali." Poem sought deep, mysterious "Vatican I are one," the ideal, the performance of the harmony, the beautiful atmosphere of tranquility, as well as "natural to the carving," the artistic style of the Qing-chun, makes the soil dust goes back into deep survival of annoyance, urban noise, the commercialization of human relations suffer from the real world of people, there is a breeze was blowing, such as drinking strong wine of relief and comfort. During this period, Rabindranath Tagore's important collection of poems, "Gardener," "Crescent Moon" also have available. If the former is a love ode, then the latter is a poet dedicated to the children's soulful serenade. The motto poems, "bird series" can be said that when the projection is a poet out of emotional epiphany little spark, where the poet through his spiritual heart eye, from the nature of those seemed like pointless things to discover the profound implication, and the use of figurative meaning, a symbol of the way to all kinds of objects of an object vivid metaphor to show the main consciousness, which received a strange artistic effect.

For our Chinese writers, Rabindranath Tagore International University is still the most attractive of its Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is the one set off in spend between the shade of beige two-story building. Buildings with some mahogany carved furniture, furnishings, there are a number of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and plaque, makes one feel that China will be able to draw features.
Chinese writer's visit to the teachers and students brought the joyful holiday-like. They are filled with warm and proud look, guide us to visit the upstairs library, where more than two dozen shelves, neatly arranged in five columns, which according to reference books, classics, history books, Buddhist Scriptures and poetry monographs and other content, displayed a very rich wire-bound Chinese books, patrolling the meantime, feel that there is a faint smell of incense from the paper. They told the guests, these books are the early forties, brought over from China, has been intact collection here. Later, they lead us to read the exhibition Modern and Contemporary Chinese some representative works of literary classics and academic's study, saying it was their research, read the main target. At the forum, we have answered some of the issues raised by teachers and students.
The faculty and students in China can be in Chinese conversation, though some put it is not enough skilled, but in our sound, or feel warm anomaly. To visit more than 10 days, in addition to the Chinese Embassy, was here to hear the exotic accent. When parting, teachers and students enthusiastically posed for pictures with us and take the initiative began to sing "Ode to the Motherland", due to the time Pocu, only sang two, the students enough, that there are two, it should be sung go. We fully immersed in the strong friendship among the.
Weng such as Thailand, in their own country to establish an institute devoted to the study of Chinese in the world, is also rare, and shows his determination for China's future, concern about the fate of the Qin, the Chinese culture, hot Aizhi Shen, longing for the Yin had. In 1924, he had visited China, and a half months time, visited Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and other 78 cities, has done dozens of speeches. Later, personally presided over the establishment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the unveiling delivered a speech entitled "China and India," the famous speech.
He told the Chinese harbor extremely strong feelings of the Chinese people has always been a friend. As early as two years old, he was once the British export of opium to China, poisoned people and the criminal acts to obtain high profits, expressed great indignation; Japanese invasion of China, he ignored old and feeble, to telegraph, letter, speeches and poetry in all its forms moves. In order to economic assistance to China's resistance, he also organized a fund-raising activities, and the first donor assist in the work. In critical condition, he also dictated a poem to remember the joy that he spent time in China. He said China is a "the joy of the soul of the kingdom", where brought him a wonderful life.
Bid farewell to the Chinese Academy, we went to Tagore is located opposite the Memorial Hall on the campus. Coconut and a tree through the tree-lined avenue, the visitors to lead a group of European-style buildings, the museum is located in a two-storey building inside. On the first floor with a large number of photographs and tangible objects, showing the poet contained 80 magnificent life; on the second floor exhibition of works for the poet, and libraries. Next to a four-story building, for the poet's home.
The exhibition is quite Shigetomi, and I am most impressed by the Thai Weng close relationship with China. He loves China, and China also respect and love for this great poet. The photo shows his visit to China, warmly welcomed by the unprecedented scenes. Learned from the exhibition, Thai Weng friend Xu Beihong visit International University, who has painted portraits of the poet, and left gifts of the two Horse of the painting. Du Fu, one of which the title of the poem: "whine think fighting back legislation to gray." Is clearly a portrayal of the poet.
The most impressive thing in 1957, Premier Zhou Enlai visited India, endure the hardships of the journey, in the busy, made a special trip to Nike Tan Sang arrived, paid their respects Tagore's house to visit he founded the International University, and teachers and students singing and dancing along with a get-together, parting at Memorial inscription given high evaluation of Rabindranath Tagore. In fact, a year ago, Premier Zhou Enlai once sincere praise: "Tagore was not only made an outstanding contribution to world literature genius of a poet, or hate the dark, fighting for a bright outstanding representative of the great Indian people." "The Chinese people will never forget their love for Tagore, Rabindranath Tagore Chinese people can not forget their national struggle hard for their support. "earnest words, it reflects the aspirations of all Chinese people.
1961 Thevon centennial, the People's Literature Publishing House published a set of Shijuan this the "Tagore works collection." Thevon works selected into the textbooks of secondary school students, but also liberal arts students, one of the must-read titles.
About to leave the Sandinista Nike Tan, and I was driven by parting feelings, thinking back to the poet's spreading love, hearts always Chung Dangzhao a deep reverence. Here, Gurong is everywhere, and this is Tagore poems that often appear in a symbolic landscape. He wrote with deep feeling in the poem: "Oh, trees, human hand, foot, I am coming to you / as envoys of mankind - inspired by your spirit, / enjoyed the coolness of your shade -- has been inspired by your strength. "He said, I" want to wind blew a tree branches of a tree of your whinny; / want to be your shadow on the water with the sun Ju Chang; / wants a bird, habitat in your top vine. " At the moment, the face of this Zhuzhu pull trees, the luxuriant dense large banyan tree, but I think we admire long Thevon. It has a vibrant and lasting vitality, branches involved staggered, aerial roots slightest sagging silver Yung, how like Hefa elegant, silver and longevity to be slowly poem Weng ah! You do not go away ah, Thailand Weng! You obviously still live in our hearts.
Good-bye, Sandinista Nike Tan, this quiet little mountain village of the United States!
