智者乐水
朱国良
仁者乐山，智者乐水。以前在我的印象中，山往高延，水向低流，山的境界似乎要高一些。群峰叠嶂，山峦逶迤。何其壮观，何等奇伟！而老子却说：“天下莫柔弱于水，而攻坚强者莫之能胜。”水从山顶流下，“山中一夜雨，树杪百重泉”。它寻山谷而下，顺田野而饶，穿城市而过，奔江河而去，直到万川入海。它流到最低处，又能跃到最高处，悄无声息地就去了太空。云是水的舞蹈，雨是水的吟唱，雪是水的凝结。水就这样在洼处和高处，观望着世事人间。
水，是生存之源。地球上倘若没有水，就没有生命，没有绿树和鲜花，也就没有鱼龙混杂的历史和甜酸苦辣的民生。自古以来，人都讲究逐水而迁，傍水而居，面水而住。一个地方，有了奔泻的江河、蜿蜒的溪流就有了生机。多一泓清水，就多一些灵气，多一份娇媚。
水的生命，在于长流不腐，勇于闯荡。水的力量，在于一往无前，排山倒海。水的气质，如百媚千娇的俏女子，亦像一个能屈能伸、刚柔兼备的伟丈夫。其形，小可以为沟渠为溪流，大可以为江河为湖海；其态，可以为云、为雾、为雨，亦可以为雪，为冰。
水，在艺术家的眼中，更是汩汩灵动，溢溢才情。孔老夫子从滚滚长江东逝水中，读到的是“逝者如斯夫”；王维在行吟禅的世界里，感受到了“清泉石上流”的无限境界；施特劳斯的多瑙河，看到的是爱人亲切的面容；列宾眼中的伏尔加河，看到了船夫苦难的背影。他们或用文字，或用旋律，描摹了水的无尚奇妙和不朽精灵，同时也抒写自己内心的独特感受。在众多的诗人骚客中，无论吟咏明净似镜的西子湖，还是放歌大浪滔天的黄河浪，无不牵动着人们对水的一往情深和无限向往，撩拨着内心恣肆的情思。
在中国文学史上，水的地位也是至高无上的，不然，一部中国文学史就会失血失魂。少了水，中国的首部诗集《诗经》，一大半都要不复存在。至于一部唐诗，水的景观，水的佳句更比比皆是。想想李白的《望庐山瀑布》、杜甫的《春夜喜雨》、孟浩然的《临洞庭》、崔颢的《黄鹤楼》、王之焕的《凉州词》、王维的《使至塞上》、杜牧的《泊秦淮》、张继的《枫桥夜泊》……
水还以其特有的形态和姿态，以它自身深刻的蕴含，寄托着许许多多的寓意，给了人们生生不息的联想和无穷无尽的启迪．“山无常势，水无常形”，是兵家需要领悟的行军之道；“弱水三千，只取一瓢饮”，是对人生行为的一种告诫；“水能载舟，也能覆舟”，是对高高在上的用权之人的殷殷忠告。认识了“鱼得水游，鸟乘风飞”这个道理，就可认知一些根本的东西，超脱外物束缚，享受快乐的天趣。从“水滴石穿，木锯绳断”的事理中得到启发，能助人恒心持久，坚持不懈；感悟到“大海终须纳细流，江湖从来迎清泉”的道理，就会虚怀若谷，从善如流……
智者乐水，是因为人们寄意于水而收获了深邃的理念，飞舞的思绪，浪漫的情怀，灵性的文字吧。

Are you tired of the puzzles you usually do? Sudoku is a new choice. Sudoku consists of the Japanese characters Su (meaning “number”) and Doku (meaning “single”), but it was not invented in Japan. It was created by Howard Garnes in 1979. The puzzle was first introduced into Japan by Nikoli Puzzle Company in 1984. In 1986, Kaji Maki, the president of Nikoli made the rules strict and clear. Soon in the same year Sudoku became popular in Japan. In November 2004, The Times, a British newspaper, first printed it in the newspaper. It became an international hit in 2005. Now Sudoku becomes very popular all over the world.
The rule of the puzzle is to fill in the grids (格子) so that every row, every line and every 3×3 box has the numbers 1 to 9. Here is a Sudoku. Please relax and enjoy. It’s fun!
