Duan Gongzi saw our eyebrows dancing, elated, and beaming, and couldn't help but say to everyone: "Come, come, come, let's guess a riddle." ”
Hu Jiaojiao said curiously: "What kind of riddle, it seems to be very interesting, let's listen to it, we all have nothing to do, let's guess the riddle together." Zeng Lu clapped her hands excitedly and said that she liked to guess riddles the most, and Brother Yixiu also said happily Hurry up, he will definitely be the first to guess, and we all started to listen to riddles with bated breath.
Duan Gongzi's eyebrows danced and said: "Everyone listen, it should be easy to guess, in Dali, the Bai people have a riddle poem that has been recited from generation to generation, the poem says: The insect enters the phoenix nest and does not see the bird, and the grass grows on the head of the seven people; the drizzle falls on the Hengshan, half of the friends are gone, guess what the word is?"
After listening to this, Wang Gongzi smiled slightly, and said happily: "I have the answer, this is very simple, the insect enters the phoenix nest and does not see the bird, this word is the word wind, the grass grows on the heads of seven people, this word is the word flower, the drizzle falls on the Hengshan, this word should be the word snow, half of the friend is gone, this word should be the word of the month." So I know the right answer to the riddle, the riddle of this poem is the most famous scenery of Dali's wind, flowers, snow and moon - Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flower, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon. ”
Duan Gongzi said with a smile: "It seems that Wang Gongzi is really not an ordinary person, he is really smart, that's it, let me explain it in detail, so that you can understand it more clearly and unforgettable." Every spring and winter is the wind season in Shimonoseki, and there are more than 35 days of strong winds on average in a year, with a maximum wind speed of 10, so Shimonoseki has won the nickname of the Windy City. The formation of the Xiaguan wind is because the nineteen peaks of Cangshan are too high, blocking the air convection on the east and west sides, and the Xiaguan Tianshengqiao Canyon between the Xieyang Peak of Cangshan Mountain and the Zhimo Mountain of the Ailao Mountain Range has become the outlet of the air convection in Xiaguan, so the wind in Xiaguan is particularly strong. There is also a strange natural scene in Xiaguan Wind: if a person walks towards the north, the wind blows from the south, and the wind lifts the hat on the pedestrian's head, and it should fall in front of him, who knows that it falls behind; if a person walks south, the wind blows in the face, and the hat on the pedestrian's head is lifted, and it should fall behind him, but falls in front of him. Shangguan Hua Shangguan is located at the foot of the cloud lane peak of Cangshan Mountain in Dali, and is the fortress of Gongwei Dali formed since the Tang Dynasty. There is a flower tree with the name of ten miles of incense in the flower tree village outside the Guan, the legend is planted by the immortal Lu Dongbin, the nature is magical, it is different, the flower is as big as a lotus, it blooms 12 petals every year, it blooms 13 petals in leap year, the flower color is yellow and white, beautiful and attractive. According to the records of Dali Mansion and folklore, Shangguan's Heshan flower (Shili Qixiang tree) is a kind of flower, the flower shape is like a peony, big as a fist, the color is white and slightly yellow, the shell is black and hard, it can be used as a pearl, so it is also called a pearl flower. It has become a habit for the Bai people to raise flowers and love flowers. Therefore, this flower is not rare, but can be seen everywhere in Dali. The snow in Cangshan is because of the high altitude of Cangshan Mountain and the low temperature at the top of the mountain, the snow is thicker and does not melt all year round, even in summer, it is snow-covered, covered in silver, brilliant and dazzling. Watching the snow of Cangshan, to be in a certain position, that is, to be far away from the distance, to be able to fully see this spectacular spectacle, to the near place, and blocked by the mountains, can only see the snow scene of the fragment, so it is called to look horizontally into the side of the ridge into a peak, the height of the distance is different, do not know the true face of Lushan, only because of being in this mountain. And Erhai Yue—— The water of Erhai Lake, the transparency is very high, the lake surface is rippling, a blue sky, whenever the wind and the sun are beautiful, the moonlight night night is not alarming, we walk close to the shore of Erhai Lake, look up at the dark blue sky, the jade mirror hangs high, look down at the sea, ten thousand acres of silver waves, the bright moon of yellow, orange and orange floats with the waves in the turquoise sea, it is really a fairyland on earth, beautiful, especially on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, we who live in Dali Erhai have to row the wooden boat to the Erhai Lake, enjoy the golden moon reflected in the sea, it is really a round of the year big and round rare beautiful moon, so the skylight, the clouds, the moon and the sea reflect each other, forming an unforgettable, unforgettable and beautiful picture. This is our Dali's wind and snow, you don't want to miss such a beautiful day, you must go to see it, seeing is believing, hearing is false. ”
