A glimpse of slender west lake prose

Visiting Slender West Lake is the longest activity in our trip, and it took more than three hours. At first, everyone followed the accompanying tour guide, but in a blink of an eye, except for seven or eight of us, everyone else walked around in a free combination. Looking at our fellow travelers who followed the tour guide closely, I joked that the Central Red Army had divided several roads!

Turn a winding pavilion, and you come to the first scenic spot, called Royal Pier. At one o'clock, the high sun shone on me. Although it was not irritable, it was a little hot. I can't help but set up a "gazebo" overlooking with my palm, one for viewing and the other for sheltering from the scorching sun.

What you see is a stone bridge in Langfang style, facing the Royal Pier in the distance. The stone bridge towering above the lake supports the carved beams and painted buildings in the center of the bridge. At this time, under the reflection of sunlight, the pavilion in the bridge with red colonnade, yellow glazed tile and white marble as the main colors shines brightly, which is particularly eye-catching, and also sets off the greener and thicker lake. Several boats are rippling on the water, causing ripples and slight waves, which are sparkling under the refraction of sunlight. It is often said that you have to look at the scenery from a distance to understand its charm. At this time, it was really verified.

Follow the guide's gesture and look left. A high arch stone bridge named Twenty-four Bridge looms.

Now in Liushulin. Just like this bridge and the 17-hole bridge in Beijing, there are 24 bridge opening, but only one bridge opening. The difference is that most of the bridges are above the water, and they are more arched than some underwater bridges. The tour guide explained that this bridge was called the Twenty-four Bridge. In order to find out why it was named like this. After I came back, I checked the information and learned that the original 24 bridges had been destroyed by drought, smoke and grass. This bridge is a single-span arch bridge rebuilt later. It is 24 meters long and 2.4 meters wide, with 24 columns and 24 steps. It is named after the ancient name "Twenty-four Bridges"!

Then turn around and walk along the stone road by the lake. The green weeping willow branches on the shore swayed leisurely on the lake with a gust of wind. It is quite delicious to walk on the avenue covered with mottled sunshine and feel the harmony, unity and tranquility. The right side is layered and undulating.

The grass is growing, and on the left is the rippling lake. The heat just now seems to have weakened a lot. No wonder people like living in places where mountains and rivers depend on each other. Sure enough, there is a pleasant charm in this atmosphere.

At this time, the tour guide stopped and pointed to a white steeple looming under the tree on the right, introducing that it was a landscape of Slender West Lake, called "White Pagoda". He also said that he rowed on the Slender West Lake and enjoyed the scenery in the Slender West Lake of Wu Ting Bridge. He said casually, "It's a pity that a white tower is missing, otherwise it looks like Qiongdao in the North Sea." It seems that many people in ancient times please the emperor, which of course also shows that salt merchants are rich in the world and spend money like water. Then the tour guide took everyone to climb and see the White Pagoda. I felt a little tired, so I asked them if they wanted to go back after seeing the White Pagoda, walked slowly along the stone steps and rested on the bridge corridor overlooking in the distance.

On the bridge corridor, I found that there are five pavilions on the bridge, and there is a bridge opening under each pavilion. It turns out that this is an ingenious building with five pavilions connected. The tall and beautiful wind pavilion is like five lotus flowers emerging from Ran Ran, and the corresponding name of "Wu Ting Bridge" is also appropriate. No wonder there is such a magnificent and beautiful charm from a distance. Sitting in the wind pavilion, the breeze blows along the lake, and suddenly the sweat is swept away, and I feel cool and comfortable for a while!

After smoking a cigarette, they saw that the teachers who had just boarded the tower had boarded the Wu Ting Bridge, so they stood up and walked on through the pavilion with them. After getting off the Wu Ting Bridge, from the right side to the left side of the lake, the scenery at this time has another charm.

Coincidentally, a few people who just split up will synthesize a group of people at this time. Everyone joked that it was the turn of the Central Red Army. Talking and laughing, everyone stood by the lake and took a group photo. Although his back is turned to the sun and his face is not very bright, it is a rare opportunity and no one wants to give up.

The most interesting thing is that Mr. Wang Weiming, the editor-in-chief and novelist of Youth Daily, is holding a high-end camera with more than 20 million pixels, and he said that he is shooting enthusiastically for everyone. He is not only enthusiastic, but also takes photos in various forms and constantly changes. Sometimes riding a horse, squatting, prancing on one leg, sprinting in big strides ... with humorous explanation language, everyone laughed heartily. The simple photo scene suddenly presents a peaceful, warm, festive and joyful atmosphere. Scholars are good together, and everyone is eloquent, humorous and laughing. Get together, no matter how dull the atmosphere is, not to mention the pleasant scenery of Slender West Lake, isn't the already happy atmosphere even more icing on the cake?

Unconsciously, we have been walking for more than two hours. Everyone feels a little tired and thirsty, so they look around for a teahouse to prepare for a nap. Unexpectedly, wandering around, I saw a wine seller but not a teahouse. At this point, the original mighty force was suddenly dispersed into several paddles.

I was too lazy to wander around, so I found a place to rest and sat down. There are two female writers who don't want to go again, so we just chatted casually during the break. I don't know why, everyone talked about children. Both of them have photos of their daughters in their mobile phones, and they also flipped through them for me to see. Looking at those two girls as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, I was really impressed.

Sighing the cruelty of time, time and tide wait for no man, we all had brilliant childlike innocence in the past, but with the tempering of time, it is already a thing of the past. I suddenly remembered the saying that "the son is on the river" in the Analects of Confucius and said, "The deceased is like a husband! Don't give up day and night, "time really passes like running water, and the changes in life are fleeting." Should I also cherish the time to forge ahead? "

……

Although the trip to Slender West Lake was short, it left a very deep impression on people. Compared with the West Lake in Hangzhou, the scenery of Slender West Lake is more suitable for people, with the charm of integrating the north and the south. In the distribution of pavilions, bridges and famous gardens, it also shows the uniqueness of "flowers and willows on both sides of the river depend on the water and mountains along the way", which are evenly distributed on both sides of a winding lake and clear water. If the West Lake is an impressive painting, then the Slender West Lake is a gradually unfolding freehand brushwork. The grandeur of the former is full of the magnificence of heaven, and the exquisiteness of the latter is full of the exquisiteness of the small jasper.

In the past, someone said,' Go to Huangshan without looking at the mountains, and go to West Lake without looking at the lake'. However, I think every mountain has its own charm and every lake has its own unique characteristics. After seeing the Slender West Lake, I feel that different things and different scenery give people different impressions during my trip to glad you came.
