这时心里似乎总微有波澜，对于这位友人，兴许也更愿意去觉察他们生命的更多细节。

又是一年春，清华园被层层叠叠的彩色点缀，烂漫地像莫奈笔下的油画。每年春意正浓的时候，都是清华庆生之际。今年，清华刚刚迎来自己的105岁生日，无数来自清华校内外的，热爱美、热爱清华、热爱生活的人，拿着相机和画板出动，捕捉这稍纵即逝的春色，追忆美好的校园生活。
清华素来有“北京市第二植物园”的雅号，校园当中植物种类繁多。可是，迎春和连翘究竟有什么区别？为什么牡丹园的牡丹形态各异？校花紫荆究竟有什么习性？……当同学们在欣赏春光的时候，脑海中肯定还会冒出一些问题。从2015年3月开始，几篇“花事播报”的微信文章弥补了同学们不能及时了解校园植物动态的遗憾，也解答了很多同学心中的疑惑。
这一系列推送，文风清新、排版简洁，因内附大量高清的清华校园植物高质量照片，及物候观察和记录文字，在朋友圈迅速形成刷屏之势。它们的创作者“清华大学学生植物协会”（简称“植协”）也逐渐进入同学们的视线和生活中。
植协的前身是成立于2007年的清华大学学生生态协会，2015年3月更名为清华大学学生植物协会。据植协会长、建筑学院四年级本科生杨卓介绍，创办植协的初衷，就是在校园内普及植物常识、宣传植物文化、吸引更多的人接触和热爱自然，为更多对宏观生物学感兴趣的同学提供一个交流学习的平台。
植协的特色活动包括：“花事播报”校园植物物候播报推送、“果事播报”推送校园植物结果情况，“叶事播报”推送校园植物叶子变化情况，“在清华重返田园”种植体验、“分类学课堂”去中国科学院植物标本馆参观暨分类学讲座、“到野外去”去东灵山与动物协会、标本馆联合考察、碗莲养殖，以及“废瓶换绿植”，等等。
2016年的活动将主要集中于4-5月。其中，“在清华重返田园”将被大力推进。杨卓说，他们已经在听涛园和校河之间的空地上，用小篱笆围了4个1平方米的小园子，以及1个6平方米的大园子，用来种植药材、蔬菜和花卉，目前处于育种阶段。
正如杨卓介绍，植协的成立不仅弥补了之前社团在此领域的空白，也为清华学生发现园子的另一番美景提供了新视角，更是广泛传递着自然环保、绿色健康的生活理念。“做最早懂春天的人，做更多懂清华的人。”植协的同学身体力行地实践着。
在与植物这样静默的生命的交流中，爱好植物的同学们也体味到了一种不一样的心境。就像植协在其微信公号中说的，“在这里，不仅能遇见植物生命的曼妙，更可能遇见某个人，带给你的，跟植物不一样却更深刻的感动。……植物静默流淌的生命语言里，还会有更多可能等着我们去发现。”
Another year, another spring and once again, the Tsinghua campus is covered
by the colors of Spring. Just like the oil paintings by renowned artist Claude
Monet, Tsinghua is extra glorious. Every spring marks the Anniversary of
Tsinghua. This year marks Tsinghua’s 105th Birthday and to celebrate
this event, countless people with their love for Tsinghua venture into the
campus to greet the beauty offered by this season. With their cameras and
drawing tools, they not only capture the beauty of spring but also the splendid
of campus life.
Due to the variety of plants on campus, Tsinghua campus is often regarded as
“the second Botanic Garden in Beijing.” However what is the real difference
between the various peonies in the peony garden? And how about the
Bauhinia?......As students admire such scenery, no doubt, they’ll also have some
questions to ask. From the start of March 2015, several “flower broadcasts” have
been made on the Wechat account “THU Botanical”. It provided answers to some of
the questions and allowed the students to have a better understanding of
botany.
With its fresh style, simple layout and high-quality pictures, the
informative broadcasts became popular in the Wechat circles. The creator behind
this account, Tsinghua University Student Botanical Association (also referred
to as the “Plants Association”) gradually became a part of students’ life.
The predecessor of the Plants Association is Tsinghua University Student
Ecological Association (established in 2007). It changed its name to Botanical
Association in March 2015. According to Yang Zhuo, the chief of Botanical
Association and a senior at the School of Architecture, the original intention
of the association is to promote plant culture, engage more people to love and
understand nature and make biology and botanic studies more interesting. The aim
was to provide an interactive learning platform for all.
The Botanical Association is responsible for several online broadcasts:
“Flower broadcast”, “Fruits broadcast” and “Leaves broadcast” offers information
about flowers, fruits and leaves. “Tsinghua Pastoral” offers the chance to grow
your own plants, “Taxonomy Classes” allows you to attend lectures at the Chinese
Academy of Sciences and “Let’s go to the frontline” allows you to participate in
activities alongside Zoological Association, lotus cultivation and much more.
Last but not least, “Waste Exchange”, helps to promote awareness and
participation in environmental protection.
2016’s activities are centered on the months of April to May. Among them,
“Tsinghua’s Pastoral” will be greatly promoted. Yang Zhuo said that they would
install four gardens of one square and a garden of six square meters between
Tingtaoyuan canteen and the campus river. They will be used to plant herbs,
vegetables and flowers.
Like what Yang Zhuo said before, the Botanical Association helps to fill in
the blank for the camps and offers a new perspective to appreciate the hidden
beauty that plants possess. It promotes the importance of our natural
environment as well as a greener and healthier way of living. “To be the one who
understand the most about spring, to be a more knowledgeable Tsinghua person”
are the common goals for students at the Botanical Association.
Once you interact with botanic life, you will learn to appreciate the state
of mind of those students who call it their obsession. Just like the slogan from
the Botanical Association’s Wechat account, “Here, you will not only see the
grace of these plants but, like meeting someone that you love, you’ll be
profoundly moved by its presence……plants speak a quiet language in this long
continuous lifespan and there are more for us to discover.”
