083 Kunming Lake

Shangjing used to be called Sijiu City.

What is the Forty-Nine City?

In ancient times, Shangjing City was divided according to the city wall, the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, and the Forbidden City.

In fact, it is the four gates of the imperial city and the nine gates of the inner city.

There are four gates of the imperial city, Tiananmen, Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, and Xi'anmen.

There are nine gates in the inner city, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Desheng Gate, Anding Gate, and Qianmen.

These gates are so famous that even those who have never been to Shangjing may have heard of such names from newspapers and television.

When some old Shangjing people are bragging, they will tell others that their ancestors lived in Sijiu City!

That's because in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor lived in the Forbidden City, and the emperor's relatives lived in the imperial city, but the commoners and Han people could only live in the outer city.

When he said this, he actually wanted to express that his ancestors were relatives of the emperor.

As for whether it's true or not, only God knows.

Taizu once said: The temple is small and the gods are big, and the pond is shallow and the king is eight.

However, that was a few decades ago, and the current Shangjing Pond is not shallow, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

As the joke goes, standing on the street and throwing a brick at random, you may hit several officials......

After all, this is the capital, and at the same time it is a historic city that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The magnificent history has been blown away by the wind and rain, and the world has changed, but Shangjing Xiongcheng is still standing here.

That's where its unique charm comes from.

……

At half past eight in the evening, the time was neither early nor late, and the little guy had already slept just now, so Chen Xi sat in the courtyard with her for a while, and she shouted that she wanted to go out to see Tiananmen.

This is outside the Fourth Ring Road, and it takes more than an hour to take the subway from the Summer Palace to Tiananmen Square, and even if there is no traffic jam at night, it will take at least more than 40 minutes.

So Chen Xi wisely rejected her request.

The little one quit and kept yelling to play, and he almost rolled around.

She had just woken up, and then she was full again, and of course she was very energetic.

Seeing this, Chen Xi had no choice but to agree to take her to the Summer Palace to play.

The Summer Palace will be quiet at eight o'clock, and visitors will be prohibited from entering.

However, Chen Xi didn't plan to enter from the main entrance.

He took the little one around outside the Summer Palace and turned onto a relatively remote path.

Then, Chen Xi looked left and right, after confirming that there were no cameras around.

He hugged the little one, stepped lightly under his feet, and the whole person suddenly flew over the fence like a light bird.

And at the same time as Chen Xi flew up, the little guy widened her eyes and looked at the treetops that were getting closer and closer in amazement.

Behind the wall is the embankment of the lake, where there is a large tree.

Chen Xi hugged the little guy and fell to the ground gently.

At this time, the little guy finally seemed to come back to his senses.

I saw her wave her hands, and immediately opened her mouth and shouted: "Baba, we are flying!

The child's shout was very sharp, and it pierced the calm night sky and passed towards the sparkling Kunming Lake.

Chen Xi hurriedly put his index finger on her mouth, and then said, "Shhhh

Hearing this, the little guy immediately covered his mouth with both hands, revealing a pair of smart eyes that were wandering.

This is the first time Chen Xi has shown his ability in front of the little guy, but the little guy's reaction is not as big as he imagined.

Children's imagination is very rich.

So much so that many children will fantasize that their dad is Superman.

So when Chen Xi showed his hand a little and showed his inhuman side, the little guy was not only surprised, but excited!

She covered her small mouth with her hands, and the sound of 'whining' kept coming out of her mouth.

Seeing her like this, it seemed that she wanted to say something, but she was afraid of being kicked out, so she had to cover her mouth tightly and didn't dare to say anything.

When Chen Xi saw her excited appearance, he immediately couldn't cry or laugh, and after casually laying down a soundproof prohibition, he said with a smile: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Poop is amazing!"

After speaking, the little guy kissed Chen Xi heavily on the face, and then pointed to a small island in Kunming Lake and shouted: "Baba! I'm going there! Take me there!"

"Okay, let's go. ”

……

Where Yanshan is the most affectionate, the unparalleled wind and moon belong to Kunming.

……

Kunming Lake, formerly known as Wengshanbo, is a natural lake formed by the convergence of many springs in the northwest suburbs of Shangjing.

In the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Qianlong ordered the construction of Qingyi Garden next to the Wengshan Bo, which opened up the lake and formed the current scale.

The name of Kunming Lake is taken from the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty digging Kunming Pond in Chang'an to perform water battles.

In 1860, Qingyi Garden was burned down by British and French forces.

In 1888, Cixi ordered the rebuilding and renamed the Summer Palace.

Unfortunately, in 1900, the Summer Palace was destroyed by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

It's really ill-fated.

Kunming Lake covers about three-quarters of the total area of the Summer Palace, and Chen Xi had seen the map before he came, so he knew exactly where he was now.

There are three small islands in the Summer Palace, Chen Xi is now near Zhijingge Island, and the place where the little guy wants to go is Zhijingge.

Most of the attractions of the Summer Palace are concentrated in Wanshou Mountain in the north, and from a distance, you can see a brightly lit scene there.

The Zhijing Pavilion was originally a watchtower built to prevent villagers from entering, but in the Guangxu period, due to the lack of financial resources to repair the Zhijing Pavilion that was destroyed by the heavy artillery of the British and French forces, the remaining materials here were dismantled for other purposes.

Since then, Zhijing Pavilion has become a desert island in the water, which has never been restored.

The weather in Shangjing has been good recently, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the moon has been showing its head for several nights in a row.

Chen Xi came to the lake with the little guy in his arms, scratched his nose with his hand, and then asked with a smile: "Dad will play a trick for you, okay?"

"Okay! I'm going to see a trick!"

Hearing this, Chen Xi nodded, ready to tease her with a trick.

But then, Chen Xi seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said to the little guy seriously: "This is a trick, if you want to learn it, Dad can teach you in the future." But you can't do it like me until you learn it, it's dangerous, you know?"

Hearing this, the little guy immediately nodded and agreed quickly like a chicken pecking rice.

"Know, I don't learn secretly!

"That's good. ”

Chen Xi gently touched the little guy's head.

Then, in the little guy's slightly cute eyes, he slowly stepped on the water.

Can a person walk on water?

What was happening in front of him was obviously beyond the little guy's comprehension.

So, she immediately opened her mouth and made a sound: "Baba......"

But as soon as she shouted, the little guy reacted, and then quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and just let Chen Xi take her slowly to the isolated island.

It wasn't until Chen Xi walked out of a distance that the little guy seemed to have finally come back to his senses.

She didn't feel scared, but leaned her chin on Chen Xi's shoulder with some curiosity, and looked at Chen Xi's heel.

I saw that every time Chen Xi took a step, the surface of the lake would gently ripple in a circle.

The evening breeze blows leisurely on the shore of Kunming Lake, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled on the lake, sparkling.

Chen Xi hugged the little one......

Treading water, step by step!
