III.13:
In fact, this trip to Kyoto, in addition to the charm of Kyoto itself attracted Xia Qiao, another point is that this place has many anime restoration scenes.
Many of Japan's anime culture are actually very good allegorical scenes, showing things in reality in comics, many scenes may be a fragment, just a few seconds, but it is impressive, beautiful like wallpaper.
Xia Qiao also came here for the beauty of the countless anime she watched, so this can be regarded as Xia Qiao's selfishness.
Because there was plenty of time today, they weren't in a hurry, so Xia Qiao took the group to Long'an Temple first.
Ryoanji Temple is an ancient Zen temple, and the Ryoanji Temple Garden is a representation of the abstract beauty of Japanese gardens. The temple was built at a time when Japan's visual arts were undergoing major innovations, and Ryoanji Temple is a famous dry landscape garden and one of the World Heritage Sites.
Walking up the stone stairs one by one, you can see the main entrance of Ryoanji Temple, next to the temple gate stands a stone pillar with Chinese characters on it, which makes people feel more intimate, although it is not as magnificent as a Chinese temple, but this is the unique feature of each temple.
As soon as you enter the mountain gate, you will see a pond filled with water. The remains of this pond in the Kamakura period, formerly known as Kagyoyong Pond, are also called "Mandarin Duck Pond" because of a moving legend. After walking in, there are not many tourists here, most of them are locals, strolling through the quiet path, you can see a Chinese outer circle of the hand spring, its shape resembles the ancient Chinese copper coin, and you can vaguely see the stone carving Zen text of "only I am content" on it.
Many people like to sit in the courtyard and enjoy it quietly, Xia Qiao's family also watched quietly like everyone else, and took a short rest, Lin Yi also took a few sets of photos and rested with everyone.
The group didn't say anything, just quietly observed, Xia Qiao glanced at Lin Yi, with a smile on his eyebrows, as if he was explaining something.
Lin Yi looked at Xia Qiao, also with a smile on his eyebrows, as if he was responding to something.
After a while, Xia Qiao and the others came out of Long'an Temple, and then went to Yuanguang Nunnery, where Xia Qiao wanted to go.
When it comes to Genko-an, most people think that as long as it is an anthem, there should be nuns living in it, but in fact, this is not the case in Japan.
Genko-an is actually a temple. It is probably most famous for its "Window of Epiphany" and "Window of Confusion". Its window is a circle, and the round window is the "window of epiphany", which represents Zen, wisdom and the entire universe; The square window is the "window of confusion", which represents the obsession in the world, the birth, old age, sickness and death that cannot be escaped.
Seeing the changing seasons through the window gives you a different feeling, and it appears in the Conan theatrical version, and although it is only a passing scene, it is still impressive.
Just in the maple leaf season, Xia Qiao and his party walked leisurely to Yuanguang Nunnery.
After entering, everyone still found some angles to take a few photos, and then they all found a place to sit and look at the scenery outside the window.
This trip to Kyoto, visited a lot of temples, although there are many temples, but all have different styles, and today visit these temples, most of them are quiet and pleasant, there is no special to do anything in a hurry, everything is casual, quiet and nourishing, quite a "small bridge and flowing water" feeling.
Looking out the window at some reddened maple leaves and some still green branches and leaves, Xia Qiao's heart also calmed down, everything seemed to have precipitated a lot, which made Xia Qiao remember a book about Kyoto that he read together, about the days when he lived alone in Kyoto in the seventies and eighties.
If you don't have anything to do, you really want to stay here for a little longer, even if it's just to take a walk every morning.
Before I knew it, it was already afternoon, and the group was almost gone, so they looked for a place to eat.
In fact, after coming to Kyoto, Xia Qiao became more and more confused.
Lin Yi looked at Xia Qiao's brows a little tight, so he asked a few more questions.
"What's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? ”
"No, it's not uncomfortable." Xia Qiao paused for a moment, and then continued: "Actually, I've been thinking about something recently. ”
"Oh, what's the matter? Confused you? ”
"Well, a little."
"Actually, before I came here, I was full of joy, I searched a lot of things, and I did a lot of homework, but after I came, I felt more and more, what is the meaning of traveling?"
Xia Qiao took a break after speaking, and then continued.
"Is it just running after the attractions one by one, it's so tiring, and I don't feel that it makes much sense, just looking at the flowers. I visited a few temples today, and I think it's good, and we will stop and experience them because of their unique attraction. However, after all, we have limited time to come, and there are many places where it would be a pity not to go, so it is very entangled. ”
Xia Qiao said the doubts in his heart, and Lin Yi also vaguely felt Xia Qiao's anxiety.
"Actually, it's normal for you to think that. But you've done a great job in your heart. ”
Lin Yi also paused, and then patted Xia Qiao's shoulder: "You are not urging everyone, where to go and do everything is to let everyone do what they can, you just need to mark the places you want to visit, we will go when we have time, if we don't have time, we can't go, next time it's good, nothing is perfect, regret is also a kind of beauty." Don't put too much pressure on yourself, since it's a trip, just relax. ”
"Well, yes, then after we eat well in the afternoon, if we have the strength, we will go shopping, and we will go back when everyone is tired."
After listening to Lin Yi's words, Xia Qiao's heart was also much more comfortable.
Perhaps, it is really important to understand this word.
This year should be the year when Xia Qiao's family sees the most maple leaves and admires the maple leaves.
Maybe it's because of the beautiful scenery, and she has also visited a lot of temples, and my grandmother is also in a good mood today, and she took the initiative to let Lin Yi take a lot of photos for herself.
Compared with the state of twisting and twisting about taking pictures, now Xia Qiao's family has begun to let go of themselves.
Although Lin Yi didn't say anything, he felt the changes in Xia Qiao's family most intuitively.
And Lin Yi's original intention was just to take a photo for others, but he never felt that there was no purposeful work, and some just let go of their own feelings and integrated themselves into it to take pictures, which was really great.
Maybe that's the contagion.
Lin Yi posted a Weibo post of the photos of "Window of Epiphany" and "Window of Confusion" taken at Yuanguang Nunnery today.
As soon as it was sent, Ding Dong~ A voice of special concern sounded.
Xia Qiao saw that the screen of his mobile phone was lit up, and Lin Yi happened to glance at it.
