111 Ancient city
The trip was not intended to go to the city, and for various reasons we decided to stay in the city for a few days on the way back. One is to see the wife and brother who are fighting alone here, but to make an appointment with the brother who is alone here, and the third is to feel the taste of the ancient capital.
On the high-speed train to my destination, I remembered the first time I went there.
Indeed, that experience was not good, but the biggest impression of that historic capital city was full of fear and hesitation. But this time it was different, our purpose was to travel, and what made me even happier was to have my wife with me. Seriously, if I had to choose, I probably wouldn't choose to stop here, because there are some psychological shadows.
If it were in ancient times, it would have taken at least half a month to get from here to there, thanks to the fact that we live in a powerful era, the rapid changes of the motherland in the past few days have brought us a lot of convenience. The significance of this trip is actually on this speeding high-speed train, which now only takes four hours to achieve the crossing of the two ancient capitals, and it takes about thirteen hours to check the ordinary train.
On the high-speed train, the only thing that displeased me was not buying a window seat and not being able to sit with my wife. Although I am a little tired these days, I am reluctant to leave such a beautiful journey to sleep, and I mainly want to see the scenery along the way.
Through the window of the high-speed railway, the scenery along the way is pleasant, rape flowers and green trees pass through the windows one by one, and the neat new countryside is displayed along the high-speed railway. The main reason why I am so curious about the scenery along the way may be because I live in the northwest all the year round, and everything I see here is a kind of appreciation for me. In contrast, the natural environment here is far superior to that of the Northwest, and of course some factors are irresistible, but the efforts of the people are crucial. From every scenery along the line, you can feel the price and efforts paid by the country over the years.
After getting off the bus, my wife and I went to the subway station, and one of the things we learned about was how to use the subway. When we come to a big city, we often seem embarrassed, because we have to study seriously before we can use many modern facilities, and we are embarrassed to ask others for advice in an open and honest way, and we are most worried about being known by others that we are from a small city.
My wife was very happy when she saw her brother and sister, and her mood suddenly improved a lot. But when she was with me, she wasn't so happy. It's no wonder that my mental state is severely affected by cervical spondylosis, and that's to blame.
My wife and brother took us for a run at night, and by the way, we went to see Daming Palace.
We started from where we lived on foot until we walked to the ruins of Daming Palace, I was already a little tired, but I could still persevere.
As I walked through here, I thought of that glorious dynasty, how could we pass by so easily?
Ignorance of the history of Daming Palace is the biggest regret of this night, but I am sure that this place has witnessed the glory and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and it is here that the majesty and ruthlessness of power are reflected, and it is here that many joys and sorrows are deduced.
Looking at this ruin, which has been submerged in history, through the dark night, one can't help but think about it, and now, there is no noise to be felt, and no sound left over from history can be heard. The bits and pieces that have happened here are curious and unimaginable......
The next day, I contacted Brother Hao, who was studying here, he happened to be resting, and he had to let him come to me, I remember the last time I came, after knowing that I was here, he came to the train station to find me non-stop, which really touched me.
We made an appointment to meet in the square in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and I drove the navigation to look for the footprints of Brother Hao.
After some hard searching, I followed the navigation to the place where Brother Hao was standing, and when I looked up, Brother Hao was standing there and waving to me. Brother Hao's hairstyle is still very cool, and he has changed to a pair of glasses that look more literary, and he looks like a literary youth. He still looked at me with a grin, revealing his most characteristic tiger teeth. The moment he laughed, I remembered what he was like when he was a child, and he smiled at me like this, and now, it's just that he has grown up and still maintains the way he was when he was a child.
It's not easy to see each other, of course, we have to cherish every minute.
We went to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda together, and under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, we left a good memory with the lens of our mobile phones. After thousands of years of wind and rain, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda still stands tall there, accepting the worship of modern civilization. This kind of historical site is a precious treasure for a city, thanks to the towers that have survived the wars, so that we can calm down in such an impetuous society and listen to the wealth that history has given us.
When I came to the temple where Tang Seng used to translate the scriptures, I saw a fat guy lying under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, with a schoolbag on his head, and an apple with his eyes closed, looking like he was free and easy. In a place where modern civilization and ancient architecture are mixed, it seems a little strange and unusual for him to lie here and eat apples.
After smiling faintly at Brother Apple, I came to the exhibition hall of Buddhist stories, admired the Buddha's face, and saw many Buddhist stories, which was a baptism for our blank Buddhist culture.
Then, we braved the scorching sun to the city wall, and our physical strength dropped a lot, but we didn't want to waste this opportunity to go all the way along the wall.
There were a lot of people on the city walls, and everyone was happily absorbing what they needed. The three of us picked up our mobile phones to take selfies and photos of each other, stopping and walking, admiring the ancient atmosphere revealed in the city bricks. Surrounded by modern buildings, this section of the city wall appears very noble, it has witnessed the rise and fall of successive dynasties, it has defended the safety and dignity of the dynasty, the dynasty is extinguished, history is gone, leave it, wait for tourists here, it is quiet, just lie here, say nothing, let the tourists themselves play unlimited imagination.
As the day wore on, we all looked tired.
We said goodbye to Brother Hao in the subway station, Brother Hao went back to his school, and we went back to his wife and brother. Time slipped away again, and just like a thousand years of history, a day was accumulated in history. One of the biggest feelings in this ancient city is the tenacity of time. Here, no one can grind time, and time rules everything here. Time leaves you with a landscape, and time flies in time.
