When Landscapes Carve On Your Face

Your looks are given by your parents before your 30s and by yourself after your 30s. Your sorrow， happiness and vicissitudes will be carved on your face and formed special character patterns.

When Landscapes Carve On Your Face

—To Facial Expression Pattern

I wonder whether the mountains come on to the face，

Or the face is set down by the landscapes？

My beauty！

Why is your tender and lake-like face destroyed completely？

Once it was a watery Pomegranate seeds，

Once it was a plump and smooth-skinned lotus root，

Once it was a glittering and valuable dewdrop，

But eventually you are called aunt by twenty-year-old boys and girls.

Is it the Chinese character of “Shan”？ “Chuan”？ “Ba”？ or “San”？

The simple strokes on the face reveal the ups and downs of experiences，

And the once young visage is a real Ancient Chinese Dictionary.

Deep frown？ Light euphemism？

Piles up？ Diffuse？

Flying？ Restrained？

Imposing？ Superficial？

Separation and reunion？ Or sorrow and happiness？

All of these are getting involved in the different gills on the face.

If the gills are full of water，

That will be the most tridimensional way of thinking.

The thin is time， and the thick is accumulation.

But nothing can flatten the already formed wrinkles and get the tide back.

How charming the face is with joy！

But a face with a facial expression is also a lasting appeal.

That is glories of time.

人的容貌三十歲之前是父母給的，三十歲之后是自己給的。您的喜怒哀樂、悲歡離合都會日積月累的刻在您的臉上，形成獨特的簡筆文字。

當“山川悄悄爬上您的臉龐

——致表情紋兒

不知是山川爬山了臉龐？

還是臉龐上悄悄進駐了山川？

我的美人兒！

你面若平湖的稚嫩怎會有來無回？

曾是一掐就流水兒的石榴籽兒，

曾是豐潤的藕節嘎嘣脆，

曾是晶瑩的露珠價值不菲，

可終有20歲的少男少女把你當阿姨來稱謂。

是山？是川？是八？還是三？

簡單的筆畫書寫著閱歷的不凡，

那曾經青春的臉真成了古漢語詞典。

是緊鎖？是委婉？

是堆砌？是發散？

是飛揚？是收斂？

是凝重？還是膚淺？

是悲歡離合，還是喜怒哀怨？

紛紛調試出溝壑的不同深淺。

如若溝壑里灌滿水，

那將是最立體的心扉。

薄處是歲月，厚處是積累。

可再大的震蕩也碾平不了已成型的面相，

還美麗的青春一個滿滿的無悔。

喜悅的面龐最美！

可雕琢著表情紋的世界也別有一番風味兒，

那是歲的光、月的輝。
