Chapter 243: Radiance (7)
Fourth, the southeast corner of the Shuikou of Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty is low, and the southeast direction of the water flow is Shunshuikou, which is also the entrance; In the Fuxi Bagua, it belongs to the Xun's position, which is in line with the concept of auspicious drainage.
The magnificent royal palaces of the Northern Song Dynasty are famous all over the world, and the beautiful royal gardens have been enjoyed for thousands of years; The criss-crossing and bending rivers make this endless capital city of a generation quite characteristic of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
At that time, the four rivers that passed through the city, namely the Bianhe River, the Cai River, the Jinshui River, and the Gojo River, formed a huge water conservancy network near the city of Tokyo, which made the water conservancy and transportation of the capital develop unprecedentedly, forming a favorable position as the "hub of the world", and also greatly satisfying the material supply of the city.
Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once humorously compared the Bianhe, Caihe, and Wuzhang rivers to the "three belts of Kyoto".
Later generations called the luxurious Tokyo a land and water metropolis that "connects all the countries in all directions", and to a large extent, it is inseparable from its convenient water transportation and the abundant water resources brought by the four rivers mentioned above.
Among the four rivers, the most famous is the Bianhe River, which runs through the city of Tokyo from east to west, and is the first to inherit the big river, leading the rivers and lakes, benefiting the South China Sea, half of the world's wealth, and the department stores of the mountains, all of which enter from this road; Therefore, when it comes to water, this is not important.
The Cai River runs through the southern part of the capital and is the second largest river after the Bianhe River.
The Kanesui River flows through the northwestern part of Tokyo and is the main river for the people of Tokyo because of its clear and sweet water.
The Wuzhang River is located in the north of the capital, from the north of Xincaomen into Beijing, more than 100,000 stones, to a certain extent, to ensure the material supply of the city of Tokyo, and contribute to the prosperity of the capital.
If the Bianhe River, the Cai River, the Wuzhang River and the Jinshui River are like the four emerald green jade belts in Tokyo, then the more than 30 bridges across the four rivers are dotted between the capitals, which are more like the bright pearls inlaid on the four jade belts, adding a bit of embellishment to the capital and making it beautiful in the magnificence.
There are 14 bridges such as Hongqiao, Xiangguosi Bridge and Zhou Bridge on the Bianhe River, 13 bridges such as Longjin Bridge and Xinqiao on the Cai River, 3 bridges such as Baihu Bridge and Hengqiao on the Jinshui River, and 5 bridges such as Xiaohengqiao and Guangbei Bridge on the Wuzhang River.
The erection of these bridges enables the east and west of the capital to be connected, and the north and south can be directly reached, which greatly facilitates the transportation of the capital, ensures the material supply of the capital, and also brings a lot of convenience to the daily life of the people in the capital.
The location of many bridges is located on the traffic arteries in the capital, if it is said that the "Royal Street" from the south gate of the palace city to the south, through the Suzaku Gate of the inner city to the south of the outer city Xunmen is the central axis of the layout of the whole city at that time, then, the "Royal Street" and the Bianhe River intersect the state bridge area, it should be the center of the whole city, others such as the Guangbei Bridge is located on the main road leading to the important post station "Chenqiao Station" at that time; Caishi Bridge is located on the main road leading to Fengqiu, an important town at that time, etc.
Many bridges in the city have also become downtown areas or commercial centers in the city, such as the Longjin Bridge from the state bridge to the south to the Suzaku Gate, which is a famous commercial area in the city; The famous "Zhouqiao Night Market" is located here.
The Hongqiao area outside the East Water Gate of the Bianhe River is the gateway to the east of Tokyo City, and the Xiangguoji Bridge in front of the Great Xiangguoji Temple is actually a Bianhe port deep into the city, or it can be said to be a large cargo transfer station in Tokyo.
In addition to the four major rivers and many bridges, the temple is also a major highlight.
Among the many Buddhist temples scattered throughout the city, the most famous are Sokoku-ji Temple, Kaiho-ji Temple, Tensei-ji Temple, and Taiheeong-koku-ji Temple, which are known as the four major temples in Tokyo.
Due to the change of the supreme ruler of the Northern Song Dynasty on Buddhism, he vigorously advocated Buddhism, which led to the scholars and doctors of the Northern Song Dynasty to practice Buddhism, worship Taoism, promote Buddhism, practice Buddhism, and create a Buddhist palace that has become the fashion of the times.
The ruler's fascination with Buddhism and Taoism led to the construction of many religious buildings, especially temples, in the city.
Many monasteries were built with a degree of luxury that was far from being comparable to that of ordinary government offices; It is one of the most beautiful buildings in Tokyo outside of the Imperial Palace.
Tian Jing sat in the carriage and pointed his fingers, telling the history and glory of Bianjing City with high spirits.
Zhang Jing and the fire buffalo carried the green apricot for a while, causing passers-by to stop and watch.
Zhang Jing saw that passers-by were interested in the sliding rod, so he asked Lu Xing to get down and sit back in the carriage; He and the fire buffalo walked out of the empty sliding rod and walked out a few steps, when they saw a young man who looked like a talent stepped forward and sang a fat song: "Can the two little brothers lift people?" ”
"Lift!" Zhang Jingjian saw that he had his first business, so he replied excitedly: "Does Xianggong sit by himself or ......?"
Before Zhang Jing finished speaking, Xiucai shook the paper fan in his hand to interrupt him; He pointed his hand back and said, "Xiaosheng and the Hun family are going to Daxiangguo Temple to play tricks, but the Hun family has a sore foot; I wonder if the two little brothers are willing to serve? ”
"The noodle seller is afraid that you will eat eight bowls!" The fire buffalo raised his arm and said, "Our sliding rod is to carry people, let you come and sit!" ”
Seeing the fire buffalo say this, Xiucai hurriedly shook the paper fan and beckoned back; A pretty woman dressed in gold and silver walked up.
The woman walked up to the fire buffalo and Zhang Jing to say a blessing, and sat down in the sliding pole with the help of Xiucai.
Zhang Jing and the fire buffalo were about to carry it, but they remembered the people in the carriage; Looking at it, the carriage was already a long distance away from the two of them.
Zhang Jing made his hand into a trumpet shape and pressed it to his mouth, shouting forward: "Grandpa Fire! Outside the fireman! ”
The two carriages stopped when they heard Zhang Jing's shout, and Zhang Jing said openly: "We are going back to Daxiangguo Temple, Grandpa Huo, you ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Grandpa Huo reply over there: "Okay, let's all return to Daxiangguo Temple together; I've seen almost all the attractions in Nari-ri! ”
At the shouts of Grandpa Fire, the two carriages turned back; Go back to Daxiangguo Temple.
It is late autumn, and the streets on both sides of Bianliang Street show golden and vermilion colors; The tall plane trees and the yellow leaves that fall from time to time on the pavement create a tragic atmosphere.
Human beings don't know what year, month, and dynasty carried out environmental greening, and a megacity like Bianliang with a population of more than 1.5 million; The greening and transformation of the environment by the imperial court was ahead of its time.
The fallen leaves of Bianliang render a tragic atmosphere! The fallen leaves are dyed golden yellow, or they are scarlet ochre.
The first thing that fell may have been just two pieces, like two golden butterflies with broken souls; But then a carpet of gold and red was laid out under the trees, and on top of this carpet were cast of iron, with bare and sparse trunks and branches, piercing the blue sky and light clouds high up.
Grandpa Huo's 14 people came to Daxiangguo Temple for the second time and wandered around with interest; Finally, when I came to Sangjiawazi, I saw that the puppet show had already started.
And next to the puppet show is the burning orchestra of monks.
The magnificent scene and the huge formation of the puppet show and the burning orchestra made the 14 people of Grandpa Fire dumbfounded.
Grandpa Huo and his entourage are from Shudi, and it is rare to see a vivid scene of such a grand burning orchestra and puppet show as the Daxiangguo Temple, which is the most prosperous city in Shu.
Especially the blowing and pulling of the burning orchestra, the 14 people who have never seen the fire grandfather in the dark southwest corner.
14 people stood in front of the Burning Orchestra and poked their heads forward like geese, and Grandpa Fire turned around; was caught by a "red butterfly" not far from the burning orchestra and puppet show.
The "Red Butterfly" performs an unfamiliar dance there, and the "Red Butterfly" is accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums.
The sound of gongs and drums was often heard by Grandpa Huo in the western Sichuan Plain, but as soon as he came to Bianjing; In the Great Xiangguo Temple, when he heard the sound of gongs and drums, Grandpa was a little surprised.
Grandpa Fire took his attention away from the Burning Orchestra and looked at the "Red Butterfly", how the "Red Butterfly" danced in a posture that looked like a person.
Grandpa Huo's heart twitched, and he took a few steps forward to watch intently; "Flower Red Butterfly" seems to be Liu Min.
Grandpa Fire's brain almost cracked, and his heart beat endlessly; muttered in her mouth: "Could it be that the red butterfly is really the granddaughter of the old decay!" ”
Grandpa Huo thought in his heart and wanted to rush forward to see what was going on, but he walked two steps back and walked up to the fire buffalo and said, "Son, the red butterfly dancing in front seems to be my sister; You beckoned everyone to come later, and Daddy took the first step......"
