In March, the city of Beijing is warm and cold, sometimes accompanied by the bleak wind, and sometimes it shows a beautiful wind and sunshine. Sun Han and Alex came out after the meeting at the coffee shop, although it was supposed to be the hottest time in the afternoon, but the air outside was suddenly colder again, the wind couldn't stop blowing, and the trees were swaying and swaying with the wind, as if releasing the depression of the whole winter.

Alex looked at the time and unconsciously proposed, "It's past 4 o'clock now, why don't I take you to experience the charm of the ancient charm of Beijing?" ”

"Oh? I was born here, I have lived for 10 years since I was a child, the charm of ancient rhyme, should you take me to listen to a Beijing rhyme drum, haha," Sun Han replied half-jokingly.

"Of course not, but if you want to hear it, you can do it. I'll take you on a bus. A particularly hot car, you are satisfied. ”

"Bus?" Sun Han looked more and more puzzled, "Special bus?" Or is it a special route? Where are you going? ”

"Bus No. 7, have you heard of it? Beijing's hottest hutong day tour bus route. Wait for me to drive the car over first, first find a convenient place to park, and then let's catch the bus, you can stop and go, sit and walk a stop, anyway, there are a lot of alleys can be a good stroll. ”

"No problem, I'll go with you on the weekend anyway."

In mid-March 2021, in Beijing, in the alley along the No. 7 bus.

Walking in the deep alley, there are no tall buildings on either side of the surrounding area, and the scenery in the distance can be seen at a glance. "Isn't that the White Pagoda Temple?" Sun Han suddenly pointed to the opposite side and said.

"Yes, let's get off the train at the last stop, this is along the alley, and we just walked all the way over. Why don't you walk over and have a look? ”

"Hey, it's okay, it's good for us to go around these alleys, I haven't walked like this for a long time, it's so rare. Oh yes, where are you going tomorrow? ”

"Today hasn't passed yet, so you can start planning for tomorrow?" Alex laughed. "Tomorrow, I really haven't thought about it tomorrow, your plane at half past six will get to the airport before five o'clock at the latest, but fortunately there is no traffic jam on Sunday afternoon. Why don't we go to the Forbidden City tomorrow for a whole day, what do you think? ”

"I'm fine, I still miss the Forbidden City, and I haven't been there since I returned to China."

......

Continue to take bus 7 and continue to shuttle in stop-and-go.

Following the fragrance of ink, I came to the glaze factory in front. Since the Qing Dynasty, the cultural atmosphere here has been very strong, with students from all over the world gathering, and there are many shops selling pen, ink, paper and inkstone. To this day, it remains the cultural center of Beijing. Rong Bao Zhai, Yide Pavilion, Huaiyin Mountain House and other old shops, so that this place has become a collection of books, calligraphy and painting, antiques, and the four treasures of the study.

Sun Han and Alex, two passers-by who don't know much about antique calligraphy and painting, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but they also slowly admired the shops lined up on the street.

From the ancient alley, walk through to the White Pagoda Temple, and then go to the Liulichang, and then two stops are the famous overpass.

Tianqiao is a special place, in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, it was a typical example of the civilian society of old Beijing. In particular, the artists of the bridge turned it into a folk art museum. Today, although the artists of Tianqiao no longer perform "on the ground", the Tianqiao Art Center has been built here, and various dramas, dramas and other art forms are still staged here every day.

After a Saturday visit to the old Beijing Hutongs, in Beijing to explore the spring, how can there be no lack of the Forbidden City, here, not to be missed.

Sunday in mid-March 2021, the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Beijing in March is probably the most beautiful season, the grass and trees are gradually waking up, and you can already feel the breath of spring. Spring is getting stronger, the sunshine is just right, and the Forbidden City in March has basically bid farewell to the months-long "counting nine cold days". The beautiful scenery of the Forbidden City in the spring light, although it is not as easy to get out of the circle as the Forbidden City in the snow, but it also has another charm.

The Forbidden City is located in the center of the central axis of the capital Beijing, and is the world's largest and best-preserved ancient wooden structure. Whether it is the layout, three-dimensional effect, or the majestic form, it can be called an incomparable masterpiece, and sigh the wisdom of the ancients.

The eyes are full of tourists dressed in fashionable clothes, which is a stark contrast to the ancient Forbidden City. dotted with stars, you can occasionally see a few girls dressed in ancient costumes, holding umbrellas, stepping on pot-bottom shoes, slowly and even a little difficult to walk on the ancient brick surface of the Forbidden City. They held on to the red wall to take pictures, as if they had crossed in an instant.

The Jinshui River has quietly guarded the Forbidden City for 600 years. The mottled gates are full of traces of time. Walking for a while, you can often see the Forbidden City water tank, the beast-faced copper ring on it, after a hundred years, the texture is still clear.

Looking at the closed palace on the tower of the standing city, there are rare peach blossoms blooming in the distance, and there is a scene full of greenery......

Passed through the three major halls: Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Palace, and Baohe Palace. In particular, this Taihe Palace, which is commonly known as the Jinluan Palace, is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties ascended the throne and held ceremonies. Thinking about it, the twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held a ceremony here, such as the emperor ascending the throne, the emperor getting married, and the empress being canonized, and the fate of the emperor will go on the expedition.

Then walk to the three major palaces: Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, and Kunning Palace.

The two of them also checked and chatted along the way. It is said that the sunlight is sprinkled on the gold bricks of the main hall at noon on the winter solstice every year, and the reflection of the gold bricks on the ground is on the plaque of Zhengda Guangming, at this time the sunlight will be from west to east, and the Zhengda Guangming and the five golden dragons below are lit up in turn, which is the unique feature of the Forbidden City in architecture.

The name of Kunning Palace can also be said to be very loud, which is also thanks to many Qing palace dramas. After all, since the Ming Dynasty, it has been used as the queen's bedroom.

The next stop came to Cining Palace, where the Empress Dowager and the concubines once lived, also because of the Qing Palace drama, which is as well-known as Kunning Palace.

Then passed through the West Six Palaces: Yongshou Palace, Xianfu Palace, Yikun Palace, Changchun Palace, Chuxiu Palace, Qixiang Palace. went back to the East Sixth Palace, and came to the Yanxi Palace, which was on fire because of "Yanxi Raiders". When people arrive in front of them, they find that this place is weird, as if it is a Western unfinished building.

The architectural patterns of the six palaces in the east and west of the Forbidden City are similar, except for the Yanxi Palace. Relying on the influence of the TV series, it is indeed the place with the most traffic, and most of the people who stop in front of the prompt board are also talking about the bits and pieces of this place, all of which show traces of dilapidation.

......

After the interview, I walked directly through the streets and alleys on Saturday, plus the Sunday when the Forbidden City walked deeply for a day, and the two weekends in Beijing were said goodbye with the plane on Sunday evening. The moment I landed, I got out of the airport and returned to a piece of the world in Chengdu.

In mid-March 2021, in a rented house in Chengdu.

"It's good that you picked me up today, I've been tired to death in Beijing for the past two days." As soon as Sun Han entered the house, he threw off his backpack and sunk his whole body into the sofa.

"What's wrong? You're tired as if you've gone on a quick march. Why did you go after the interview? Zhang Lan joked and said questioningly.

"I'm going to hike, these two days, I'm just walking around non-stop, walking hard, can you not be tired!"

"By the way, how was your interview?"

"I think the interview is okay, I talked directly to the founder, and she is also a super bull in our industry. It's been quite a long time to talk to her, and at this point, it's worth it. I think she also values my overseas experience during that time, as well as some comparisons between Chinese and Western industries, and asks a lot of questions. Feeling, I think it's about the same, there should be no problem. Let's see if the salary can be negotiated. ”

"That's good, this trip hasn't been in vain. After all, you haven't rested on this big weekend, and you must be tired after flying to Beijing for a round trip. ”

"Yes", Sun Han twisted his neck, "The main thing is that I am tired of hiking, I was taken by Alex and walked according to the route of the bus, although I have a full sense of experience, but I can't do it today, I still feel that it is true that I am tired." In the past two days, I have traveled almost 20,000 steps a day. ”

"Oh my God, where have you two been? Walking so many steps? ”

"After the interview on Saturday, I walked through the streets and alleys, entered the alley, walked around for a long time, and there were many landmarks to walk through, seriously, it was pretty good. I just don't feel it at the moment, my hind legs are really sore. Then today, we went to the Forbidden City early in the morning, and came to the Forbidden City for a day trip, the East Sixth Palace, the West Sixth Palace, back and forth, and a lot of detours. And then in order to go shopping, I didn't eat much at noon, in fact, my consumption in the past two days is definitely enough. ”

"Wow, you've been so fulfilling these two days." Zhang Lan smiled and handed Sun Han a bottle of water, teasing him.

"Hey, by the way, what's going on over there? Didn't you say earlier that there are a few opportunities in the contact? Sun Han suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Anyway, there are only two opportunities at the moment, which is a more suitable feeling, both of them are from Beijing, which is quite a coincidence. They have just finished the second round, and I'm still waiting for the results, so I guess I can make it to the last round. ”

"It's still in the education industry, right?" Sun Han continued to ask questions seriously.

"Yes, I have no plans to change careers, and I must still be in the education industry. They are both a combination of online and offline companies, in fact, in terms of background, these two are pretty much the same. However, the direction of responsibility is not too different. ”

"Oh? How so? Is the content of responsibility different? ”

"There is a company, the position given is still the head of the TO B business, but it is to lead the team, there is a ready-made team, but now we are recruiting an airborne person in charge. The other company is itself a preschool education company, mainly for curriculum content. In fact, it is related to my current experience. ”

"Then let's walk and see." After Sun Han replied simply, he suddenly changed the topic. "By the way, how are you going to spend your birthday?"

"It's still early for your birthday, so what are you going to do?" Zhang Lan asked with a smile. "Anyway, we're just a day away, so we must be together. Unless...... You have other plans. ”

"It's not early, okay." Sun Han said firmly, "Isn't it next weekend!" I took the initiative to ask, I must have planned to pull you along, but, who knows, your E

I don't think you've been mentioning it much lately. ”

"He's constantly on business trips, and it's hard to make an appointment. Anyway, let's talk about it first, let's get over it. Zhang Lan raised her eyebrows and smiled and made a final reply.
