Chapter 1187: Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow

On November 29, at eight o'clock in the morning, Li Fan, Han Zhong, Bai Yi, and Liu Yuan took a car to West Lake.

Last night, Li Fan deliberately checked the information about West Lake on the Internet.

In general, there is no difference from the previous life, but there are slight differences from the previous life in the cultural connotation of a few scenic spots and names.

For example, "Bai Dike", in the previous life, the name "Bai Dike" was related to the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty.

The white embankment was originally known as the white sand embankment, and when Bai Juyi was the assassin of the history, he left such a poem, "The favorite lake is not enough to go east, and the white sand embankment is in the shade of green poplars."

In order to commemorate this great poet, later generations called it the White Causeway.

In addition, there is also a saying that people at that time thought that this embankment was built under the auspices of Bai Juyi, so they called it the white embankment.

But in fact, Bai Juyi presided over the construction of another embankment, located near the stone culvert bridge outside the old Qiantang Gate, and now there is no trace.

Later, although people knew that the current "White Causeway" was not the one built by Bai Juyi, in order to commemorate Bai Juyi, the White Causeway was not renamed, and it was still called "White Causeway".

In any case, in the previous life, "Bai Dike" was related to Bai Juyi, and there was no such relationship in this world.

Bai Di is the abbreviation of Bai Sha Dike.

Another example is the broken bridge, there are many bridges in the whole West Lake, and the broken bridge is undoubtedly the most famous in the previous life.

The reason is related to it, just because of the famous folk legend "The Legend of the White Snake" in the previous life, which added endless romance to the broken bridge.

There is no legend of the White Snake in this world, and the broken bridge is not as famous as in the previous life, but it is just one of the many ordinary bridges in West Lake.

......

It takes about an hour's drive from the hotel for four people to West Lake.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the four of them had arrived at the edge of the West Lake, although it was still early, but there were already many visitors to the West Lake.

The West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the lake is divided into five water surfaces, including Waixi Lake, Xili Lake, Beili Lake, Xiaonan Lake and Yue Lake, by Gushan, Baidi, Su Di and Yanggong Dike.

Su Causeway, Bai Causeway across the lake, Xiaoyingzhou, Huxin Pavilion, Ruan Gongdun three small islands stand in the middle of the Waixi West Lake, the Leifeng Pagoda of Xizhao Mountain and the Baochu Pagoda of Baobao Mountain across the lake, thus forming the basic pattern of "one mountain, two towers, three islands, three embankments, five lakes".

The place where Li Fan and the four of them are now is on the west side of the White Causeway.

Coming to West Lake today is naturally completely different from the feeling of coming here in my previous life.

Standing on the white causeway, looking at the clear water of the West Lake on both sides, there is no difference from the previous life, but these are two different worlds after all, Li Fan is full of emotion in his heart.

"Let's walk from west to east along the White Causeway, Brother Li, what do you think?" Han Zhong asked.

Li Fan put away his emotion and said with a smile: "Naturally, you can." I have heard the name of the West Lake White Causeway for a long time, and now I see it is really worthy of its name. ”

Bai Yi said: "The white causeway is naturally extremely beautiful, but when it comes to the scenery of the white causeway, it is the most beautiful in spring and summer. Of course, if it snows now, the white causeway will naturally have a unique winter beauty. It's just a pity that there aren't many opportunities for snow here. ”

Li Fan said: "It's a pity that there is no snow, otherwise, maybe you can still see the beautiful scenery of the 'broken bridge and remnant snow'." ”

"Oh, the broken bridge is still snowy?" Bai Yi nodded, "There is indeed a bridge in West Lake called 'Broken Bridge', and it is at the end of this white causeway. 'Broken bridge and remnant snow', it seems that there is indeed such a saying. Brother Li has never been to West Lake, but he knows a lot about West Lake!"

Since the broken bridge in this world is just an ordinary bridge and is not famous, the beautiful scenery of "broken bridge and remnant snow" is also not as famous as in the previous life.

If you are not particularly familiar with West Lake, you will hardly know that there is such an attraction.

Li Fan smiled and said, "Since you want to come to West Lake, you naturally need to do some homework." I've heard that the scenery of the 'Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow' is very beautiful. Whenever the snow is shining, standing on the gem mountain and looking south, the West Lake is covered in silver, the arch of the stone bridge of the broken bridge is unobstructed, and the ice and snow melt in the sun, revealing the mottled bridge railings, and the two ends of the bridge are still covered by snow. The vaguely recognizable stone bridge body seems to be looming, and the snow in the culvert is shining, and the bridge deck is gray-brown to form a contrast, and it seems to be broken from a distance, which is very beautiful. ”

Hearing Li Fan say this, Han Zhong, Bai Yi, and Liu Yuan were all stunned in their hearts, and they all thought in their hearts, "We don't know these things, but this kid is right." I think it was two days ago that after I knew that I was going to come to West Lake, I went to check the information about West Lake. This curiosity...... It's no wonder that this kid has achieved so much in many fields. ”

The three of them admired Li Fan in their hearts, and at the same time they couldn't laugh or cry, they originally thought that Li Fan had never been to West Lake, and they were going to make a cameo appearance as a tour guide today.

Now it seems that the identity of the guest tour guide is not certain.

Thinking of Li Fan's description of "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" just now, Bai Yi's heart suddenly moved, and said, "Could it be that this is the origin of the name 'Broken Bridge'?"

Li Fan smiled faintly and was about to answer, but he heard a voice coming from behind him, "Yes, this is the origin of the name 'Broken Bridge'." ”

The four of them were stunned, and hurriedly looked back, only to see a middle-aged man in his forties, standing not far behind the four of them.

Obviously, that sentence is what he said.

Seeing the four of them turn around, the middle-aged man smiled apologetically and said, "I'm very sorry, my name is Lu Yangdong, and I am a sketch painter who often paints in the West Lake area. Since few people know the scene of the 'broken bridge and remnant snow', I just heard this little brother talk about the beauty of the 'broken bridge and remnant snow', and I couldn't help but speak out. I'm really sorry. ”

Hearing the man named Lu Yangdong in front of him say this, Li Fan and the four of them smiled and said that it had nothing to do with it.

Then, Bai Yi smiled and said: "It turns out that the name of this 'broken bridge' comes from this. 'Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow' sounds really beautiful, but it is not famous among the various scenery of West Lake, which is a bit regrettable. ”

Lu Yangdong nodded and said, "It's really a pity, but there is no way to do it." The broken bridge was originally an ordinary bridge, far less than the white causeway, the Su causeway, etc. In addition, there are not many opportunities for snow in Tangzhou, and there are even fewer opportunities for heavy snowfall, so it is difficult to form the beautiful scenery of 'broken bridge and remnant snow', which is rare for tourists to see. 'Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow' is not famous, but it is reasonable. ”

Han Zhong, Bai Yi, and Liu Yuan all nodded after hearing this, and Bai Yi said: "There is indeed no way to do it, unless the broken bridge can be as famous as the White Causeway, Su Causeway and other scenic spots." It's just that, of course, it's impossible. ”

Han Zhong said: "If the broken bridge can be as famous as the white embankment and the Su embankment, then the beautiful scenery of the 'broken bridge and remnant snow' will become its advantage because it is difficult to form, so that everyone will chase it." It's just a pity that the broken bridge can't become famous. ”

Lu Yangdong sighed and said, "Yes, so this is also a matter of no choice." ”
