Chapter 15 If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero
In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, and there are such customs in Qinhuangdao for the New Year: 24 days of sweeping the house, 25 pasting windows, 26 stewed meat, 27 killing roosters, 28 handful of noodles, 29 steamed steamed buns, 30 nights of staying up, and twisting on the first day of the New Year. Aunt Zhang made all the food on the twenty-eighth day, and went back to the countryside in the afternoon, and her wife and children in the countryside were waiting for her to celebrate the New Year.
On the twenty-ninth day, everyone had nothing to do, so Uncle Hai proposed to climb the Great Wall, and I received an enthusiastic response. To be honest, I have been to many places in my previous life, but I have never climbed the Great Wall, and I have planned for a long time, but I have always been scattered by such and such things.
It is said that it is the Great Wall, in fact, it is two concepts with the Great Wall of Beijing, the Great Wall in Qinhuangdao, from the old dragon head of Shanhaiguan to the Xingshuling of Xiaomaping in Qinglong County, with a total length of 375.5 kilometers. Among them, there are 37 passes, 500 enemy towers, 685 battle platforms, 317 chimney piers, 4 fortresses, 7 acropolis, 61 solid enemy platforms with brick and stone structures, 1 point general platform, 1 Weiyuan City, 1 octagonal tower, and 1 Dafeng Tower, which is the most complete military defense facilities and the highest building grade in the entire Ming Dynasty Great Wall. "The Great Wall of China starts here, and I will receive it first." It's Qinhuangdao.
The car drove for a long time, and the more you got to the back of the road, the more difficult it became, and the potholes and bumps were very uncomfortable. We got out of the car, looking at the sky, the heaven and the earth suddenly felt wide, in the distance, the Great Wall like a white ribbon winding between the mountains and mountains, it was very spectacular, let people be awe-inspired. This is the Great Wall, the symbol of China.
Walking on the Great Wall, there are green wheat seedlings on both sides, and the wind blows on the body, which is very cold. But it didn't take long for me to take off my scarf and start sweating on my head. We stop and go like this, some of the Great Wall is well preserved, you can clearly see the carved patterns on it, but there are also many sections of the Great Wall that have been destroyed, dilapidated, and it makes people feel heartache to look at, this is the most precious monument in our country.
Daddy said that the Great Wall in Qinhuangdao is the whole of the mountain, across the river into the sea, ups and downs, like a giant dragon circling, the momentum is magnificent, is the essence of the Great Wall architectural art. However, due to the lack of laws and regulations for the protection of the Great Wall by the local government, the lack of funds and professional protection teams for the protection of the Great Wall, and the natural decay and man-made destruction, the damage to the Great Wall is very serious. I could hear the regret in my father's tone, and my heart was even more uncomfortable for a while. The government alone will not be able to protect the Great Wall, the key is to raise people's awareness and everyone to take action.
Standing on the Great Wall, everything is in full view, looking up, the sky is vast, it seems to be closer to people, at this time I have a feeling of self-respect, the mood suddenly brightened, I can't help but admire the wisdom of the ancient working people, what kind of great wisdom can build such a majestic Great Wall. Dad said that there is a section of the Great Wall of Banchangyu, the terrain is dangerous, and it is difficult for ordinary people to climb it in many places. It's hard to imagine how the Ming Dynasty built the Great Wall in such a dangerous place four hundred years ago. The degree of difficulty is really impressive to modern people, and it is understandable why the Great Wall is compared to the backbone of China!
At noon, we came to the famous daughter-in-law building on the Great Wall of Naziyu, which was once built by Qi Jiguang, when Qi Jiguang was appointed by the Ming Emperor to fight against the Northeast barbarians and Mongolian cavalry in Qinhuangdao after fighting against the Japanese invaders, at that time because Qi Jiguang was famous and famous. It made the foreign enemy dare not attack rashly, and also made the imperial court at that time tranquil, ushering in a long period of peace, because General Qi Jiguang led the soldiers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north to garrison the Great Wall, and a certain scale of family members was formed. As the name suggests, the daughter-in-law building is the residence of the general's family at that time, and the level should be very high, different from the ordinary enemy building, and the structure inside is very reasonable and complete. We can see the lotus and wisteria carved in the peaceful era at that time from the edge of the door, it should be a very peaceful era, when Qi Jiguang's troops were stationed on the Great Wall because the city is the family from the hometown, so the garrison officers and soldiers are very brave to resist the field, and the foreign enemy is also immovable, so far in the counties of Qinhuangdao The Great Wall has left a lot of people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and for many years has formed a good folk custom to protect the Great Wall.
I touched the carvings on the edge of the door and thought, Chinese are really great, we have so many cultural relics, so many heroes, so many miracles, I am proud to be a Chinese! Now, the country is in the early stages of development, the economy is not yet developed, and the materials are scarce, but I know that we will prosper and become rich and strong, and it will not be long before this oriental dragon will soar into the sky, and at that time, the whole world will see us laughing.
On the way back, I was silent, and my father touched me and asked with concern, "What's the matter, did you see you for the first time, are you tired?" ”
I shook my head, "I wonder if the laborers of our country in ancient times have left us such a rich cultural heritage, they are so great, and as today, should we do more?" "This is something I've been thinking about since I got off the Great Wall, I never thought about it before, I just thought that I was a little woman, I couldn't pick up my shoulders, I couldn't lift my hands, it was simply insignificant, what could I do. Now I really feel that I am a part of China, and I should also have a part in the construction of this country, even if it is small and insignificant, but I have done my best!
Daddy didn't speak, hugged me tightly, I think the Great Wall also touched the patriotic string in his heart, no wonder the school ideological education is to visit cultural monuments and heroic monuments, it is really thought-provoking.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw Qin You also looking out the window thoughtfully, with a high nose line on his slightly side face, which was very good-looking. This kid who will be eleven years old after the New Year is really precocious, isn't it?
