Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year, also known as the Duanyang Festival, the Midday Festival, the May Festival, etc. The word duan has the meaning of initial, so the end five is the fifth day of the first month. According to the calendar, May is the noon moon, so the Dragon Five has gradually evolved into the Dragon Boat Festival.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the land of Chu Yue had the custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat racing on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and later became a traditional festival to commemorate Qu Yuan because Qu Yuan died on this day.

Speaking of which, the habit of commemorating Qu Yuan during the Dragon Boat Festival should have been inherited from the Han Dynasty. Because Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was a native of Chu, he was first a commoner of the Chu State, and then the pavilion chief of the Qin Dynasty, but finally became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang's life can be regarded as full of legends. As a Chu person, he must have been accustomed to some festivals that were only available in Chu, and then went up and down, and soon became popular all over the country.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the Dragon Boat Festival has become an ancient festival that has been inherited for more than 2,000 years.

Today, the Dragon Boat Festival has become a domestic legal holiday, and the state arranges the holiday, and the whole world celebrates together.

As the political and cultural center of the country, although there are still a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the atmosphere of celebration is relatively strong. Shops on the streets of the city have put out all kinds of festival items such as longevity wisps, five-hour charts, peach charms, and statues of heavenly masters. When the pedestrians saw it, they naturally stopped to look at it and buy a few things to go home.

Not only is the business of these shops booming, but even the number of people entering Beijing has also seen a small peak.

Anyway, people in the tourism department also noticed the anomaly in this data after a count. I feel that compared with previous years, people who went to Beijing for a holiday this year. It seems to be a few percent higher.

As soon as the data came out, it was on the news in the evening, and then there were expert comments to warn everyone, reminding everyone to pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of the festival location, so as not to be like in previous years. The attractions were crowded, and the festival became a suffering.

All in all, the warm-up of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday has begun to show signs. But there is an undercurrent in it, and only those in the know can feel it.

Without alarming the others, Fang Yuan and the others quietly entered Beijing. The plane landed without a hitch. After leaving the airport, you will be escorted by a taxi driver and slowly enter the city limits.

"Is this the capital?" Bao Longtu raised his eyes and looked around, and he was also a little excited. But after looking at it for a while, he was also a little disappointed: "It doesn't seem to be any different." ”

More cars. Bridges are erected, high-rise buildings stretch endlessly, and traffic roads are dense like cobwebs. To put it bluntly, it's just one word, big. Other than that, it doesn't look like it's any different from other big cities.

"What do you want to be different?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile, looking all the way. He also felt dazzled and dizzy. The main reason is that there are too many similar buildings, and it is difficult to distinguish them.

"Yes. It's ......" Bao Longtu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to the ancient city gate in the distance and said: "These things are what we want to see." ”

The car slowly approached, and the ancient city gate, which was full of traces of the vicissitudes of time, also came into everyone's eyes. Unfortunately, there is only one section of the wide gate. After everyone took a quick look, the car quickly swept past.

"Alas......" Bao Longtu looked back. It was found that all around the city gate were high-rise buildings that did not fit in. Suddenly sighed: "The walls have been torn down, and only one city gate remains, what's the use." ”

"It's a memorial, anyway." Xiong Mao said with a smile: "Let the current people know that the original place is the ruins of the old city." ”

"It shouldn't have been demolished in the first place." Bao Longtu shook his head and said: "Most of it has been demolished, leaving a little bit, which is even more eye-catching." ”

"Back then, it was also for construction needs." Fang Yuan said: "If the city wants to develop, it has to be demolished. ”

"To put it bluntly, it's a lack of foresight." Bao Longtu sighed: "Back then, people probably couldn't have imagined that urbanization would develop so rapidly. In just a few decades, it can be described as earth-shaking. Planning can't keep up with the pace of development, and then it's hard to go back, so you have to tinker and do some minor surgery in a limited space. ”

"That's the reason." Xiong Mao thought so: "Otherwise, the voice of moving the capital will not be higher than a wave." In a situation where minor surgery is becoming more and more ineffective, the radical cure is to completely tear down and rebuild. However, the cost of tearing down and rebuilding is too great, so it is better to move it away directly, and on a blank piece of paper, you can depict it as you like and play it as much as you want. ”

"Everyone understands the reason, that is, it depends on whether the high-level has the courage to forcibly promote the implementation of this matter." Bao Longtu said with a smile: "But I have already started to look for candidates for the Kanyu Bureau, so I guess I should have made up my mind." ”

"Of course ......"

As he spoke, the car stopped at a hotel. A few got off the bus to stay, because the room was booked in advance, it was easy to complete the formalities and move in directly.

After putting away the luggage and drinking another cup of tea, the fatigue of the journey was dissipated a little.

"What's next, what's going to happen?" Bao Longtu asked, "Where are you going to report?" ”

"No, when the time comes, someone will definitely come to the door." Xiong Mao smiled and said: "In the past few days, everyone can look around and relax, which can be regarded as relaxing before the decisive battle." ”

"It's okay, I'm afraid that the balls are not in the mood to play." Bao Longtu asked, "Are you nervous?" ”

"I don't think it'......" Fang Yuan was very calm: "It didn't get to that point." ”

"It's for the best." Bao Longtu proposed: "Otherwise, you will flip through the feng shui book again." You usually work hard, and it should be more effective if you crammed it temporarily. ”

"Just read a book, if Master Fang plans to warm up and practice, I can recommend a place." Xiong Mao said with a smile: "Generally speaking, when a feng shui master comes to the capital, that place is a must-go. ”

"Where?" Bao Longtu was very curious.

Fang Yuan's heart moved, and he asked, "Dingdu Peak?" ”

"That's right, it's the Dingdu Pavilion on Dingdu Peak." Xiong Mao nodded with a smile: "In the legend, Emperor Zhu Di of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty intends to move the capital to Yanjing, and the first priority is to determine the specific location of the capital. ”

"At that time, Zhu Di summoned the world's famous feng shui masters to gather in Yanjing City, and finally it was his advisor Yao Guangxiao who climbed a mountain peak near today's Mentougou and determined the architectural pattern of the capital after the geographical situation."

Xiong Mao talked eloquently: "The capital is determined by this, so that mountain peak is also known as Dingdu Peak." ”

Bao Longtu's eyes lit up, and he was naturally very interested: "On that mountain, can you see the entire capital clearly?" ”

"The location of Dingdu Peak is on the extension of Chang'an Avenue to the west, and the two form a straight line. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, standing in the attic on the Dingdu Peak, you must be able to look at the entire capital. ”

Xiong Mao smiled bitterly: "But this time is different from the past, not to mention the current environmental pollution problem, resulting in poor visibility in the air, just the current capital, which is several times that of the ancient capital, people's eyesight is limited, and they can't see such a wide landscape." ”

"This is also ......," Bao Longtu was relieved.

"Dingdu Peak, Dingdu Pavilion." Fang Yuan groaned, and immediately smiled: "This is the right situation, I must go and see it." ”

"That's it, that's it." Bao Longtu strongly supported: "Otherwise, let's go now, right?" ”

"Don't ......be in a hurry" Xiong Mao looked at the sky outside through the floor-to-ceiling window, and suddenly sighed: "It's best to go early tomorrow morning, otherwise with the current weather conditions, you won't be able to see any artistic conception." ”

"Just looking at the scenery, what artistic conception do you need?" Bao Longtu disagreed.

"Haha......" Fang Yuan and Xiong Mao laughed without saying a word.

Anyway, after the itinerary was decided, everyone drank another cup of tea, and then it was almost time to have lunch. A group of people hastily settled lunch at a nearby restaurant, and then walked around, and the day passed like this.

At dawn the next day, before the sky turned white, everyone got up in the dark, left the hotel, and hailed a vehicle to the Dingdu Peak in Mentougou.

Turning all the way, the car stopped slowly at the foot of the mountain. At this time, there is already a trace of fish belly white in the eastern sky, with this bit of light, everyone got off the car to watch, but saw that the mountains around Dingdu Peak stretched, the mountains were stacked, the huge rocks on the peaks were craggy, the peaks were steep and high, and there was a lush and vibrant scenery.

In the middle of the city's steel forest, suddenly seeing this green mountain full of vitality naturally surprised everyone, and somewhat sighed.

Bao Longtu suddenly became active, and kept urging: "Hurry up, everyone follow, after going up the mountain, maybe you can catch the sunrise." ”

Others had the same idea and immediately walked briskly. Soon after, I came to the top of the mountain and saw the Dingdu Pavilion. The attic is an antique Chinese-style building that looks like it has only three floors from the outside.

However, Xiong Mao said that there are actually six floors inside the attic, which is more than 30 meters above the ground. Looking down from the top of the pavilion, at least you can take in most of the capital.

When everyone arrived at the door of the attic, before they could enter, a round of fiery red sun had already jumped out on the eastern horizon, and then scaled out a thousand feet of light, which was very brilliant and dazzling.

The morning sun is relatively warm and soft. And it is close to the Dragon Boat Festival, the temperature is relatively high, there is no fog rendering in the morning, the blue sky is like washing, and the visibility is very clear.

Taking this opportunity, everyone hurriedly looked back, only to see the capital of Nuoda, as if there was no boundary, showering in the bright sun. Between some high-rise buildings, there is still a faint glow of light, like dragon scales flashing, and everything is shining.

Such a scene also made everyone a little distracted and addicted.

After a long time, Fang Yuan gradually came back to his senses and sighed: "What a magnificent landscape, no wonder Zhu Di praised and said that the beauty of this peak is unique, and it is a godsend!" ”

"That's for sure." Xiong Mao smiled: "But the situation we see now is still a little different from the ancient landscape......

"Nope." Fang Yuan shook his head lightly: "It may be different in appearance, but in essence, it is always the same." (To be continued)
