In this book, the author presents the customs and customs of the plains of eastern Henan. This is a world that dialogues with vegetation. Every tree, every flower, every gust of wind, and every rain is alive. This book tells the story of hometown from four aspects: natural cursive script, sleeping with hometown, quiet vegetation, and the book of twenty-four solar terms. These four aspects have different emphases. "Natural Cursive Script" mainly writes about natural phenomena such as wind, clouds, rain, and snow; "Sleeping with Hometown" shows interesting rural stories and nostalgia; "Quiet Grass and Trees" writes about the grass and trees of hometown; and "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Book" writes metaphors between solar terms, people, and vegetation.

The author narrates the rural life in his memories in a eloquent style, including the happy childhood life, precious objects, and relatives connected by blood. He also writes from the side about some of the problems commonly faced by rural areas in today's era. It shows us the true face and some embarrassments of the current countryside. While telling about the beautiful rural life of childhood and the simple traditional style, it also illustrates the entanglement of individuals and the new generation of young people. On the one hand, it is difficult to leave their homeland and relatives, and on the other hand, they want to pursue a great future. More and more young people are thinking about whether to stay away from their hometown and go to the city, or to stay in their hometown and stick to the traditional lifestyle.

This book is a collection of the author's essays, including his works on the theme of nostalgia. What is out-of-print nostalgia? Just because the hometown is unique in the author's heart, the feeling of homesickness is irreplaceable. The author transforms his rich nostalgia into beautiful words to soothe the confused hearts in the hustle and bustle of the world and touch the souls of wanderers who have nowhere to rest. The author's writing style is fresh and simple, and his feelings are sincere. The words reveal his attachment and memories of his hometown and countryside, making people feel the same when reading. With the development of the economy, the countryside is also developing rapidly, and the hometown in our memories is getting farther and farther away from us, which gives rise to a strong and out-of-print nostalgia.
