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.

人的容貌三十岁之前是父母给的，三十岁之后是自己给的。您的喜怒哀乐、悲欢离合都会日积月累的刻在您的脸上，形成独特的简笔文字。

当“山川悄悄爬上您的脸庞

——致表情纹儿

不知是山川爬山了脸庞？

还是脸庞上悄悄进驻了山川？

我的美人儿！

你面若平湖的稚嫩怎会有来无回？

曾是一掐就流水儿的石榴籽儿，

曾是丰润的藕节嘎嘣脆，

曾是晶莹的露珠价值不菲，

可终有20岁的少男少女把你当阿姨来称谓。

是山？是川？是八？还是三？

简单的笔画书写着阅历的不凡，

那曾经青春的脸真成了古汉语词典。

是紧锁？是委婉？

是堆砌？是发散？

是飞扬？是收敛？

是凝重？还是肤浅？

是悲欢离合，还是喜怒哀怨？

纷纷调试出沟壑的不同深浅。

如若沟壑里灌满水，

那将是最立体的心扉。

薄处是岁月，厚处是积累。

可再大的震荡也碾平不了已成型的面相，

还美丽的青春一个满满的无悔。

喜悦的面庞最美！

可雕琢着表情纹的世界也别有一番风味儿，

那是岁的光、月的辉。
