The next day, everyone got up at five o'clock in the morning, Ai Xiaoyu took everyone to the lakeside lawn that she and Nie Xinyuan saw in the compound yesterday, Ai Dad and Ai Mom chose a remote place, directly meditated cross-legged, and practiced the Tai Chi internal method, Bai Xiaozhu thought that they were practicing the external mental method.

Ai Xiaoyu has always felt that her parents are old, and the most important thing is to seize the time to cultivate and educate others, and she has always been honorably carried out from Jiangjin to Chengdu.

Ai Xiaoyu took her uncle's family and Nie Xinyuan, far away from her parents, and sent a wide place, and began to teach everyone to play Tai Chi one move at a time.

Bai Xiaozhu also brought out the Ai-style Tai Chi that Ai Dad gave him yesterday, and treated his niece's movements, he found that his niece was very talented in martial arts, and Tai Chi was beaten by her fast and slow, mellow and harmonious, with both gods and shapes, and he faintly had the potential of a generation of grandmasters at a young age.

It took Bai Xiaozhu two hours for himself to faintly come up with some experience, and then he realized that this Tai Chi exercise is really very mysterious, completely different from the various schools of Tai Chi he knows, and the grade is not only one or two levels higher. He has now made up his mind that he will learn from Ai Dad and them in the future, get up at five o'clock in the morning every day, and practice Tai Chi while absorbing purple qi from the east.

And as soon as Nie Xinyuan, a martial arts wizard, came into contact with this Tai Chi, it didn't take long for him to learn well, and he had a flow of air in one morning, Bai Xiaozhu was also secretly amazed at him, there are talented people in the country! Fortunately, the two brothers, Bai Shijun and Bai Shibing, are not much worse than Nie Xinyuan, and they have gained a lot when they come down in the morning.

After breakfast, Bai Xiaozhu went to work alone. And Liang Xue took her two sons, and the three members of the Ai family according to the plan agreed yesterday, called Jiang Xiaohai to drive, and went out for fun. And Nie Xinyuan was still reluctant to go home, so he also followed Ai Xiaoyu into a car, Ai Xiaoyu heard Bai Shibing say that this car belonged to his second uncle.

Today's destination is Qingyang District, the municipal district of Chengdu, nearly three-fifths of the ancient Chengdu city belonged here, and the Shu Wangfu of the Tang Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and other dynasties belonged to the Qing Dynasty Mancheng.

Qingyang District is named after a well-known Taoist temple "Qingyang Palace" in China. Legend has it that in the Zhou Dynasty, Lao Tzu traveled west to Hangu Pass, and Guan Ling Yin Xi wrote the "Tao Te Ching", and said when parting: "After a thousand days, Zi Xingdao will look for me in Chengdu Qingyang." Later, the Taoists then established a temple here, named Qingyang Temple, and the Tang Dynasty changed its name to Qingyang Palace.

Soon after the car came out of the compound, everyone heard a crisp and melodious bell, resounding over the ancient city of Chengdu, maybe heard within dozens of miles, the ethereal bell brought people to a distant situation, Ai Xiaoyu actually felt that his mood had some resonance, and the soul seemed to be out of the body.

"Auntie, where did this sound come from? It's so comfortable! ”

"Xiaoxiao, it's the first time you've come to Chengdu, I don't know, the bell of this Wenshu Monastery is a scene in Chengdu, there is an idiom 'morning bell and dusk drum', have you ever heard of it?"

"Aunt, I've heard of it, this idiom comes from the poem "In the Mountains" used by Li Cheng in the Tang Dynasty: 'The morning bell and dusk drum are not in the ear, and the bright moon and lonely clouds are always in love', I saw it in the book. I just don't quite understand what that means. ”

"'Morning bell and dusk drum', many people think that the temple is to ring the bell in the morning and beat the drum in the evening. In fact, in the morning and evening, the temple has to ring both bells and drums. The difference is that in the morning the bell is struck first and then the drum is struck, and in the evening the drum is struck first and then the bell is struck.

The metaphor of the 'morning bell and dusk drum' can make people wake up and remind the world not to indulge themselves, and it is also to describe the passage of time and remind the world to cherish time.

I've said so much, you four children, remember? ”

"Remember!!" Ai Xiaoyu and Nie Xinyuan, Bai Shijun and Bai Shibing shouted in unison and replied.

"Aunt, why don't we go to this Wenshu Monastery today to listen to the bell?"

"Okay, it's still early, we can go and grab the first pillar of incense."

Today is Monday, many people have gone to work, there are not many tourists, the four big and four small luck is very good, grab the opportunity to get the first incense, by Ai Xiaoyu on behalf of everyone to burn the first pillar of incense. Although atheists are now popular, Buddhism has had a profound influence in both the East and the West, and many beliefs such as burning incense have been passed down.

Wenshu Monastery is a Buddhist holy place integrating Zen forest holy sites, ancient gardens, pilgrimage and sightseeing, and religious study. In the courtyard, the palace of the king of heaven, the three major halls, the hall of the great majesty, the hall of the law, the five halls of the Tibetan scripture floor are connected by hand, each hall is sealed and barren, the carved beams and painted buildings, the window flowers and door decorations, the fine carving. It is integrated with the bell tower, the dining hall, the corridor room and other buildings on the east and west sides, solemn and solemn, simple and spacious, and is a typical Qing Dynasty building.

The five halls together with the front and back walls, the halls and pavilions are simple and magnificent, the eaves are warped, and it is a typical Qing Dynasty building. Between the halls, the main and secondary are distinct, the staggered and decent, the sparse and decent, the size is the same, there is a garden in the temple, there is a courtyard in the garden, there is a scene in the courtyard, the environment is extremely quiet and elegant.

The large and small stone carvings in the courtyard, the copper and iron casting, and the Buddha statues of wood carving clay sculptures, are all exquisite craftsmanship, wonderful and solemn, and have great artistic value. There are also many precious cultural relics and Buddhist scriptures, which are well preserved and are the essence of Wenshu Monastery.

Wenshu Monastery is full of camphor, plum blossom, magnolia and other trees, but the most is the city tree of Chengdu ginkgo.

Ginkgo biloba tree, slow growth, extremely long life, under natural conditions from planting to fruiting it takes more than 20 years, 40 years to produce a large number of fruits, so it is also known as "Gongsun tree", has the meaning of "public seed and grandson to eat", is the old birthday star in the tree, ancient name "white fruit".

Ginkgo biloba is the oldest gymnosperm left after the Quaternary glaciation, and it is one of the most precious tree species in the world, so it is regarded as a "living fossil" in the plant kingdom. It not only has the value of ornamental and beautifying the environment, but also has the value of edible, medicinal and cosmetic.

Ai Xiaoyu took advantage of everyone's inattention, under the cover of Ai's mother, picked seedlings of camphor trees, plum trees, magnolia trees, and ginkgo trees, and planted them in the ring space.

"Mom, this temple is really big, we've been walking for almost two hours, right? We're almost shopping, and my aunt is tired, so why don't you go back to the car and take a break? ”

Ai Xiaoyu saw that his parents and himself because of the practice of Tai Chi exercises, their physical fitness rose in a straight line, and they walked for two hours without panting at all, and the three elder brothers, who may have grown up in the barracks since childhood, learned martial arts, and just kept sweating after walking for a long time, Jiang Xiaohai was picked out by his uncle from the new barracks, and his physical fitness was absolutely excellent, but his aunt's physical fitness was the worst, and he couldn't walk anymore, and he was embarrassed to say it.

"Okay, it's still smiling and filial, and I know that my aunt can't walk! These two stinky boys only care about themselves, they don't care about their mother's life or death, or give birth to a daughter, the daughter is the mother's personal little padded jacket!

Second sister, your body is even better than me, a soldier, it's too shocking, can't it be because of Tai Chi? ”

Liang Xue is also interested in Tai Chi now, this effect is too good, she used to play military boxing every day for a long time, and then the effect was not obvious, so she gave up, although she is a soldier, but her profession is a doctor, the requirements for physical fitness are not high, but no one will refuse health!

"Hehe, my daughter is very good, very sensible! However, Xiaojun, Xiaobing is not bad, how many twins are there, and they are smart and healthy. Your second brother-in-law and Xiaoxiao's body and I have all practiced Tai Chi, and my body has only become better, and my body may be healthier now than when I was younger! ”

Ai's mother really hopes that her younger brother's family can pay attention to Tai Chi exercises, she also sent a self-made Tai Chi external exercises to the eldest sister and younger sister some time ago, she doesn't want to be decades later, only her and her husband are left in their generation, but if you don't believe it, then there is no way, let it be.

Walking out of the Wenshu Monastery, Liang Xue asked Ai Xiaoyu: "Xiaoxiao, how does this Wenshu Monastery look?" Isn't it fun? ”

Liang Xue actually took it into account, they have four children, and they don't have a deep understanding of this Buddhist culture, and they are worried that they won't be able to endure making trouble, but fortunately, everyone is very sensible, and they haven't talked to each other and quietly finished the tour.
