Lotus Photography Submission E-mail in Yuanmingyuan

Last Mid-Autumn Festival, I went to Yuanmingyuan to enjoy the moon completely by accident, and there was no plan in advance. It's just that the weather was fine and the wind was smooth that day. I remembered that I had never been to the garden once a year after Beijing, so I came. It was near dusk when I got there.

At that time, the Mid-Autumn Festival was linked to the National Day, which coincided with the 19th National Congress. Many flower beds have been set up at the entrance of Yuanmingyuan, which are colorful and constitute a beautiful picture, attracting tourists to stop and enjoy it. When I entered the garden, I just stepped into the gorgeous garden gate and vaguely smelled the fragrance of vegetation. Because I didn't do the raiders in advance, I turned in the opposite direction of the tourist route after entering the door. Because of the direction problem, it was very quiet, and green trees were planted, and my eyes were full. The breeze is fragrant. Looking at elegant bricks and tiles, this leisurely simplicity is hard to get in the hustle and bustle of the city. After turning a rockery, I felt very comfortable, so I walked forward and took a few steps to the side wall of the park. Then I turned around and walked in the direction of sightseeing in the park.

Follow the crowd and you come to a wider road. There are many interesting stalls on the roadside, selling things with a strong flavor of old Beijing, but with their own characteristics. Old Beijing glass, mahogany crafts, male prostitutes, shadow play, sugar blower ... are all handicrafts and commodities with history and legend, which have accompanied many people's childhood. These exquisite and traditional booths have attracted many people's attention. In front of each booth, people are walking.

There is water beside the road. There are many lakes in Yuanmingyuan, weeping willows by the water, and exquisite pavilions are built in the water for people to take a nap. In the middle of the calm lake, it seems to be covered with lotus leaves, which are wide and dense, and extend far along the curved lake. I don't know where they are. When I came, the midsummer was over, and I couldn't see the lotus. The lotus leaf was yellow and dying. But this kind of residual load with yellow edge spreads on the water, and a large area of thick ink and heavy color also gives people a different kind of magnificence. In midsummer, lotus flowers are in full bloom, and a lake with clear water must be another fragrant and lovely scene.

Yuanmingyuan, as a garden of ten thousand gardens, has a large area. It will take a lot of effort to go on, and it may go back in the wrong direction. So many people will choose to take a boat and watch the whole picture of the park on the lake that runs through the park, starting from Qichun Garden here, crossing the waterway and on the water. There is no boat ride this time, but it is also a pleasure to watch on foot.

According to different seasons, Yuanmingyuan will regularly hold different special activities in the park, such as the Walking Festival, the Lotus Festival and the Golden Autumn Festival. Show the beauty of different seasons and the charm of different postures in the garden. Walking in the garden, I saw a chrysanthemum exhibition on a Little Square. A wide variety of autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom. They have different colors and beautiful gestures. They are carefully kept in potted plants and arranged neatly. Or put into different patterns, elegant and tasteful, including some more precious varieties, attracting many tourists to watch.

I started late last time, so I went shopping. It's getting dark and the tourists are gradually dispersed, which shows the quietness of the garden. Walking out of the autumn chrysanthemum exhibition, I heard "Moonlight on the Spring River" playing on the radio somewhere, and followed the music to the lake. The water waves are sparkling, outlining the silhouette of lotus leaves and weeping willows, and the afterglow of the sunset shines on the small and exquisite arch bridge in the water. The pipa played in the garden is still ringing, but it shows the leisure and tranquility of the world. Sitting on a stone bench by the lake, just sitting here reading a book all day, or just lying on your back and blowing a breeze, is a kind of enjoyment. Teach people to forget machines.

When I stepped onto the bridge, the sunset was slowly setting and a new moon was slowly rising in the distance. Rising on another arch bridge, rising on the fluttering willow tips. The lotus leaf, which grows wantonly, slowly quietens down and kisses the ripples in the water in a low voice. In such a quiet and beautiful place, people want to put all the precious words on it, but compared with the real scene, it is redundant and cumbersome. This world, flowing and flowing, brings people into the painting. Other tourists also passed by the bridge. Seeing this scene, they all froze and stopped to lie on the railing and enjoy it quietly.

Although the once exquisite pavilions, exotic flowers and plants no longer exist in the park, just such a world is enough to make people intoxicated. Especially when there are few people, I feel the atmosphere is better and more moist. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, I naturally refuse to go back like this. In the evening, I went shopping with my companions and lit up the market in the morning. A sparkling full moon rises and shines on the lake, bright and affectionate.

Yuanmingyuan, a garden bearing too much weight and blood and tears, is very deep in imagination, which makes people feel full of sighs and worries when they read it in time. But when people really look at this place carefully, the exquisiteness and elegance oozing from the garden, like a gentle wind, smoothed the wrinkles in their hearts and blew them away, leaving a full aftertaste, vaguely melancholy, but beautiful and lingering. The moonlight shines on the broken wall, but the original delicate patterns have not faded because of the broken ones, and they are still shining and beating out the innate light.

The four seasons are like songs, warm and cold at first, and come and go against time. You must remember that this is the time to enjoy autumn in the garden.
