Chapter 116: In the North Sea in Spring, the catkins dance
Spring flies by.
It was soon early May, and the catkins in Beihai Park were flying all over the sky.
Ye Qian, dressed in a pink dress, stood by the sparkling water, with a bright sunshine on her face.
"You're so beautiful today!" I said happily.
"Wasn't I pretty before?" Ye Qianxing asked with a slight annoyance.
"Pretty, pretty," I said hurriedly, "you're pretty all the time!" ”
"If you're in a good mood, you'll be fine watching anything," Ye Qian smiled, "If you take a good look at Beihai today, your feeling will be different from last time." ”
I smiled and nodded.
Last time I came, I wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. This time, I was in a very good mood.
Looking around, the park is full of smiling people and walking lightly along the breezy water's edge, everything seems so quiet and relaxed. The white pagoda in the distance, like a quiet and serene girl, still stands slim in the middle of the North Sea.
Ye Qian and I walked across the golden chela bridge that spanned the Beihai Sea and the Zhonghai Sea, which was as white as a jade belt, entered Qionghua Island in the south of the Beihai Taiye Pool, and climbed the high steps to the White Tower. On the white pagoda, the four walls are all Buddha statues made of colored glass; On the white pagoda, you can clearly overlook the whole picture of Jingshan and the Forbidden City, and at the same time, you can also overlook the scenery of Zhongnanhai; The east, west and north foothills of Qiong Island have a more unique landscape; In the lake, the Five Dragons Pavilion seems to be floating...... All the views, all in view.
"Qionghua Island is also known as Wanshou Mountain, Wansui Mountain and Baita Mountain," Ye Qian explained, "Qionghua Island, the abode of the gods." Therefore, Qionghua Island in the North Sea is also a fairyland on earth. ”
"It's really beautiful!" I said seriously, "The White Pagoda is the symbol of the whole park!" ”
"This is a Tibetan lama pagoda," Ye Qian said with a smile, "and the top of the pagoda is covered with a treasure cover, a treasure roof, and decorated with sun, moon and flame patterns to show that the Dharma shines like the sun and the moon and shines on the earth forever." ”
"What does that shield-shaped niche on the front of the tower mean?" I asked knowingly.
"It's a small pavilion dedicated to Buddha statues, gods, etc.," Ye Qian said seriously, "and the Tibetan pattern with yellow characters on a red background is molded inside, which means auspicious wishes." This shrine is commonly known as the Eye Gate, also known as the Kalachakra Gate. ”
"Then is this a relic?" I asked again.
"Of course it is," Ye Qian said with certainty, "There is a two-inch square gold lacquer box hidden in the main heart of this tower, the lid of the box is painted with a Taiji diagram, and there are two relics hidden in the box, which proves that this tower is a relic pagoda." ”
Ye Qian and I chatted while walking like this.
Soon, we saw the temple of good cause in front of the tower.
"This was added in the sixteenth year of Qianlong," Ye Qian said seriously, "The hall is dedicated to the statue of the Great Weide King Kong, which is said to be the protector of Beijing City." ”
"Then do you know why the bridge just now is called the Cloud Cumulus Bridge?" I asked Ye Qian thoughtfully.
"Because there is a memorial arch at both ends of the bridge," Ye Qian smiled, "the north is Duyun, and the south is Jicui, so it is called Duyun Jicui Bridge." ”
"You're so smart!" I said with a laugh.
I looked up and saw a lot of tourists taking pictures on the Yongan Bridge.
"The combination of Yong'an Bridge and the White Pagoda," Ye Qian said with a smile, "has become a beautiful scenery in Beihai Park, and visitors have to take pictures with them as a background when they enter the park." ”
"Then where is Chunyin on Qiongdao?" I asked Ye Qian.
"Qiongdao Chunyin is at the eastern foot of Baita Mountain, south of Yiqing Building," Ye Qian said, "four meters high." ”
We said that we came to Chunyin on Qiongdao.
Here, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, the environment is quiet, and it is one of the "Eight Views of Yanjing".
"The scenery of Chunyin in Qiongdao is really beautiful," I said with emotion, "the ancient trees are towering, verdant, strange rocks, deep cliffs, and the scenery is quiet." ”
"Qiongdao Chunyin," Ye Qian said seriously, "is the vivid record of the ancients returning to the earth in spring and the recovery of all things." ”
I smiled and nodded.
As we spoke, we came to the Chunyin Monument on Qiong Island.
The stele head of the Chunyin stele of Qiongdao is square, the four corners are gathered with a pointed top, and the four ridges are carved with four dragons playing with pearls; The stele base is the Sumeru seat, engraved with the diamond of Tibetan Buddhism; The four frames of the stele body are engraved with entwined branch ornaments, and the two words of the seal book "Imperial System"; The stele is engraved with the four characters of Gaozong Qianlong's imperial pen script "Qiongdao Chunyin"; The stele is the seven laws of the imperial poems of the Qianlong Emperor.
"Take a good look," I said, looking at the poems on the stele carefully, "Gen Yue moved to the stone and felt a lot of nostalgia for the ruins of the thousand autumns." Leaning on the rock pine and green dragon scales, into the new phoenix tail. Le Zhi is rewarded because of the victory, and the joy is for the Jiahe. When the spring is the most urgent ploughing, every day is more cloudy and sunny and send a song. ”
"This poem expresses Qianlong's idea of praying for rain for the seedlings," Ye Qian explained, "The spring shade symbolizes the breeding or budding state of all things, and also gives birth to the vitality in the garden." ”
"There are also poems on the east side of this monument," I said and looked at it carefully, "Gaozong Hongli inscribed seven uniques: Chunyin Qiongdao is worthy of it, and the Shujing layer is Rui Ai. The fairy water is auspicious, and the five winds and ten rains are willing to take a break. ”
"There are also on the west side of the stele," Ye Qian smiled, "The seven laws inscribed in the autumn of the eighteenth year of Qianlong: the four characters of the stone building are marked, and the spring is really not negative in the new year." It has been Xinsu Yuzi South Mu, and I have seen the new cloud power far forest. Hui Wei is suitable for a secluded place, including every and deep hope. Taking the idle case to watch the cemetery, Tao Kan's famous words won my heart. ”
I saw that the stele pedestal was surrounded by intricately carved stone parapets.
Below the front of the stele, there are two large circular stone plates with a diameter of about five feet, and there is a dragon and a python carved in stone in each stone plate, looking up at the sky with their heads held high, and the posture is vivid.
"From which side?" Ye Qian stopped and asked me, "Walking along the path on the right-hand side next to the monument, you can go straight to the gallery in a circuitous way." ”
"Let's go on the left," I thought to myself, "and there are a lot of tourists resting over there." ”
Ye Qian smiled and nodded.
We walked up the path on the left next to the monument.
Soon, it was time to see the spring pavilion.
There is a stone cave behind the pavilion.
The scenery in front of you is like a natural landscape painting, which is beautiful.
"The Ming Dynasty changed Qiongdao Chunyin to Qiongdao Chunyun, Ye Qian said softly, "In the poem of Yanshan Eight Scenes written in the early years of Qianlong, Qiongdao Chunyun was changed to Qiongdao Chunyin, and the poem wrote: Qionghua Yao Island is lush and gloomy, and there are many light and cloudy scenery in spring. The cloud protects the phoenix and the pine is covered, and the Ruining cactus bamboo is swaying. Low to the forbidden garden to nourish moss, far with the suburbs of the shade of wheat grass. More to the deepest part of the five clouds, send the song of Jiu Shao when the wind is good. ”
"We didn't notice this place the last time we came!" I said to Ye Qian.
"The last time I came here was winter," Ye Qian said with a smile, "It was the winter snow on Qiongdao." ”
"There are so many attractions in Beihai," I said happily, "we won't be able to visit it for a while, so let's wait until we take a slow look!" ”
"Okay," Ye Qian said with a smile, "Anyway, we have time, and we can come whenever we want!" ”
"Where do you go now?" I asked thoughtfully.
"Let's swing the sculls," Ye Qian said with a peach blossom face, "The boat pushes away the waves!" ”
"That's right," I said, and I couldn't help but take Ye Qian's hand and walk towards the shore, "Let's swing the sculls!" ”
A gentle breeze.
There was a singing voice from the wind:
"Let's swing the oars/The boat pushes away the waves/The sea reflects the beautiful white tower/Surrounded by green trees and red walls/The boat floats gently in the water/The cool wind blows in the face......"
