In the large and small hutongs of Beijing, there are many courtyard-style residences surrounded by houses on the east, south, west and north sides. This is the courtyard house. .

The main door of a courtyard usually opens at the southeast or northwest corner. The north room in the courtyard is the main house. The main house is built on a masonry platform. It is larger than other houses and is the owner of the courtyard. 's residence. There are east and west wing rooms on both sides of the yard, where the younger generations live. There is a corridor between the main room and the side room for people to walk and rest. The walls of the courtyard and the houses facing the street generally do not open windows to the outside, so the environment in the courtyard is closed and quiet.

Beijing has courtyard houses of various sizes, but regardless of size, they are all composed of courtyards surrounded by houses on four sides. The simplest courtyard houses have only one courtyard, while the more complex ones have two or three courtyards. The deep residences where wealthy families live usually consist of several courtyard houses juxtaposed. There is also a dividing wall in the middle.

Beijing Siheyuan is an inner courtyard-style residence surrounded by houses on the east, west, south and north sides. As the main architectural form where old Beijingers have lived for generations, the Beijing courtyard house is famous both at home and abroad and is well known to the world.

Secondly, the composition of the courtyard has its unique features. Its courtyard is wide and spacious, and the houses on all four sides are independent and connected with each other by verandas, making living very convenient. The enclosed residences make the courtyard highly private, and you can see the heaven and earth when you close the door. In the courtyard, the doors on all four sides open to the courtyard. , the family is in harmony and happy; the spacious courtyard can also plant trees and flowers, feed birds and fish, and stack rocks and scenery, so that the residents can enjoy the beauty of nature.

Siheyuan is a combined architectural form in civil residences in North China. It is a square or rectangular courtyard. Each family lives in a closed courtyard, leading a comfortable, leisurely and quiet life, enjoying family joy and family fun, and naturally has a leisurely and contented atmosphere.

On May 1 last year, I visited the Summer Palace, which is famous both at home and abroad, in Beijing, the capital.

We walked about five kilometers from Baishiqiao where we lived to the Summer Palace. At this time, the Summer Palace was in spring, like a beautiful big park. Next to the splendid palaces covered with glazed tiles, the warmth and warmth chase the handsome figures of exotic flowers and plants from time to time. Albizia julibrissin trees, Taibai flowers, thousand-year-old ancient pines...these flowers, plants and trees come in different shapes and colors, setting off the magnificent palaces and are worth admiring.

We walked on a colorful gravel road. At first glance, the gravel on the path looks messy and varied, but if you study it carefully, it turns out to be very interesting. The colorful stones form various patterns, including flowers, plants, figures, palaces, or utensils, which are really beautiful and moving.

Keep walking along the path and you will come to the world-famous promenade. It is said that this was built by Empress Dowager Cixi to watch the scenery on Kunming Lake. I stepped onto the corridor with curiosity. The corridor is so long that you can't see the end at a glance. There are 273 colorful partitions on the top of the corridor, and each partition is painted with colorful paintings. Thousands of paintings, no two are the same. There are red columns on both sides of the corridor, and the red columns are connected by green fences. The green fence is very low, and people can sit on it and enjoy the beautiful view of Kunming Lake.

After walking along the corridor, we came to the foot of Wanshou Mountain. Looking up, an exquisite pagoda stands on the mountain. This is the Pavilion of Buddhist Incense.

When you climb up to the Buddhist Incense Pavilion and look down, you can have a panoramic view of most of the scenery in the garden. Directly ahead is the famous Kunming Lake. Kunming Lake is very quiet, like a piece of emerald. The boat slid gently over it, leaving a shallow water mark, like a green mark on emerald. The breeze blows, sparkling ripples appear on the water surface, and the floating light is golden under the sunlight, which is very beautiful. In the distance, the shadow of the Seventeen-Arch Bridge is reflected in the water, blurry, unclear, and unreal.

As the sun set, I came down from the Buddhist Incense Pavilion and hurriedly walked out of the garden gate with great joy, ending my day's trip.

Finally saw the sun in Beijing! On the morning we went to the Forbidden City. This is my second time to go to Beijing, but my first time to the Forbidden City. This has inevitably become my biggest regret. Therefore, this time I "entered the palace", I was extra attentive, hoping to make up for the regret last time! The Forbidden City in the book is a majestic place. It is indestructible and its majesty is inviolable. This made me very curious about it. It will be a strict and well-regulated home.

After passing through Tiananmen, I still thought this way: the majestic and tall arch seems to play the role of a time tunnel, taking us into the era of the emperor. Behind Tiananmen, there is another basketball stand. I am convinced that this is not used by the royal family, so maybe it is used by the soldiers of the national flag squad. There is a basketball stand in the majestic Forbidden City, and I always feel an indescribable feeling in my heart.

After passing the Duanmen Gate, we arrived at the Meridian Gate. After a process of buying and checking tickets, we started our journey to the palace for 20 yuan... After passing the Gate of Supreme Harmony, we arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is also commonly known as the Palace of Supreme Harmony. "Jinluan Hall", the golden glazed tiles on it are shining brightly. This Hall of Supreme Harmony is also the largest palace in the entire Forbidden City. Seeing such a majestic building, we clicked the shutter one after another, and all the classes stood in front of him to take pictures. In an instant, , the flashlights flashed, and the towering Hall of Supreme Harmony once again became the scenery behind the photo. As everyone knows, this Hall of Supreme Harmony is an important place for the emperor to hold grand ceremonies, and it cannot be used casually!

Our guide Fang seems to be very keen on being an emperor. Every time he passes through a gate or tower, he tells us that civil servants go to the left, military generals go to the right, and other officials of fourth rank and above go through the side door. Only the emperor himself could pass through the central gate. Today, we will take the middle door and become an emperor for once! Yes, the middle gate is indeed more impressive than the two sides, but I always feel weird in my heart. I wonder what the emperor would have thought when he saw so many people following his footsteps and passing through the middle gate. ? Walking on the central axis of the Forbidden City, I imagined the scene of the emperors walking on it with their heads held high, and I didn't find it ridiculous. Back then, they were stuck in their own way, relying on their extraordinary rights to stand alone on the central axis, the central gate of the imperial city. As everyone knows, now we can also walk in it openly and only need to pay 20 yuan. Suddenly, the previous impression of the Forbidden City disappeared. We could no longer see it through the eyes of a royal palace. Even though it was so splendid, even though it was so heavily guarded, even though it was so huge and spectacular, it was just a palace in front of a camera. It's just a scenery, or a job for a small vendor. Thinking of this, I feel a little terrible that I have offended the Holy Power so much. What I offended was an emperor who in ancient times could kill someone with just one cough. However, I have nothing to fear. That was in ancient times. Nowadays, their skeletons can’t be found, and their hometown has been used as a basketball court. What else do I have to fear?

I no longer look for the majesty of the Forbidden City. Maybe I was wrong. I should not look for the invisible and intangible breath that continues. They all left with the departure of the ancients. There are only a few rooms left. Since the buildings are empty, what talk about inviolability and "forbidden city" is there? Maybe I should look at the red walls and yellow tiles in front of me from a different angle. They are the highest expression of the level of ancient architecture. Maybe I should look at those poems and plaques from a different angle. Maybe they only represent the outstanding achievements of ancient literature. . After leaving the Forbidden City, I seemed to feel much more relaxed. Looking at the clear water and blue sky in front of me was much more comfortable than searching for the thoughts and atmosphere of the ancients.

Today I visited the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was formerly known as the Forbidden City. It is the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the largest and most complete ancient building complex in China. It was listed as a "World Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO in 1988.

Listen to the tour guide: "The Forbidden City covers an area of ??720,000 square meters, with 9,999 and a half rooms and a construction area of ??155,000 square meters. It is a rectangular city with beautiful turrets standing at the four corners. There are wide Surrounded by a 52-meter moat, it forms a fortified castle. The building is majestic and luxurious, and is the essence of ancient Chinese architectural art."

There are four gates when you enter the Forbidden City, and the main gate is called the Meridian Gate. Behind the Meridian Gate, there are five exquisite white marble arch bridges leading to the Gate of Supreme Harmony. The east gate is called Donghua Gate, the west gate is called Xihua Gate, and the north gate is called Shenwu Gate.

I investigated the panoramic view of the Forbidden City and found that the architectural layout of the Forbidden City is divided into outer court and inner court. The architectural atmosphere of the inner court and the outer court are completely different. The three main halls of the Outer Dynasty, namely Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe, are the centers where feudal emperors exercised their power and held grand ceremonies. The inner court is centered on Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace, which are the residences of feudal emperors and concubines

This is a grand festival, and the whole world is excited. The Olympics occupies my spare time. Every four years, I have to indulge myself. The first thing I do when I get home from get off work is to turn on the TV and stare at the screen to search. Let's do it, just wait until after the Olympic program is over.

The "host Bai" whom I least want to see but must see every day, calls me both "love" and "hate". His gushing literary thoughts and sharp teeth made people like me, who also rely on my mouth, despair. His nearly perfect comments every time made me feel that he was too far away from me, beyond the Olympics. But Ning Xin's kind smile and excited tears made me realize the sincerity and truth from the heart.

The Olympic athletes on the field allow us to truly understand the Olympic spirit. Bravery and tenacity are not enough to summarize the indomitable spirit of Gao Ling and Zhang Jun; confidence and stability cannot reveal the mental journey of Xiong Ni and Fu Mingxia. The goals they have pursued unremittingly for more than ten years give us answers throughout our lives. This is the power that transcends individuals, and this is the competition that transcends the same field. The Olympic spirit brings purification of the soul and harmony around the world.

Although the fierce competition involved too much sweat, tears and blood of the athletes, although I hid from the living room to the bedroom and the balcony several times, and did not sneak out until the national anthem was played, But I hope that the sacred flame will never go out and that people all over the world will be in peace.

When we are impetuous, tired or discouraged in life, the Olympic Games held once every four years is a catalyst. It is exciting and inspiring, and it accompanies us through one after another. Four years, it represents the unremitting pursuit of all mankind towards the highest realm

2008 is a year that every descendant of Yan and Huang is looking forward to. August 8, 2008 is the day that every Chinese son and daughter looks forward to because of the seemingly ordinary but grand Olympic Games! As an Olympic host, we all have the obligation and responsibility to cheer for and contribute to the Beijing Olympics on August 8, 2008.

What to do? I thought hard. I thought about something grand, something earth-shattering, something shocking... But in the end, I decided to do something small. Because as the saying goes: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; without accumulating steps, you cannot reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small streams, you cannot reach the rivers and seas. And the teacher said: Only by doing every little thing down-to-earth can we achieve great things. By chance, I casually opened an English book, and there it is! Let me improve my English! By the time of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, many foreign friends will surely come to visit China. If they don’t understand the language, it will be impossible to communicate with them! I will try my best to improve my English so that by the 2008 Olympic Games, I can communicate with foreign friends in fluent spoken English and introduce Chinese style and art to these friends from far away. Let them have a deep and correct understanding of Beijing and our Chinese nation.

To improve English, you must first have a correct method to achieve results in just a few dozen days. So, I made a plan that works for me: read some original English books every day, memorize ten to twenty new words, and write an English composition; listen to original tapes more often to improve my spoken English. No, two days ago, I found a set of original books in a bookstore that suited my level. I immediately bought them home and read them eagerly.

I am looking forward to and hoping in my heart: when the 2008 Beijing Olympics comes, I will proudly introduce China's scenic spots and historic sites to them. I am like a newborn bird, using my sweet voice and beautiful sentences to introduce the long history of our beautiful motherland to friends from all over the world...

Friends, let us celebrate the coming of the Olympic Games. , do something for the Olympics, and use your own practical actions to write our common dream - the 2008 Beijing Olympic Dream

“Beijing’s culture makes people I can’t forget, the environment in Beijing is unbearable.” People who come to Beijing marvel at Beijing’s thousands of years of history and culture, but the environment in Beijing once made them feel helpless.

"Beijing's charm lies in conquering the world by changing itself." The words of a foreign reporter during the Olympic bid period were profound.

In order to improve the environment in Beijing, both government departments and ordinary people have made arduous efforts. Beijing

Beijing, a historic city that was once plagued by pollution, has gradually revealed its attractive appearance.

The stars are back

As a "senior" astronomy enthusiast, Cou Wen has always looked up at the stars through the lens for more than 20 years. He,

undoubtedly has the most say in Beijing’s destiny.

In Kou Wen’s eyes, the sky in Beijing before 1998 was too dirty. "Throughout the year, the sky is gray most days

and sometimes even dark. When I return to Beijing from other places, the closer I get to the city, the more turbid the air becomes and the more uncomfortable people feel."

The sky was so dirty that the stars were hiding. At that time, the cold air moving south from Siberia was the best news for Beijing astronomy enthusiasts.

"Only after it blows away the dirty air can we conduct deep space observations. Sometimes the sky is so dirty that even if strong cold air blows through, the sky is still not clear. Even if we go to the suburbs to observe, The effect is not ideal either.”

Astronomy enthusiasts are not the only ones who have opinions about Beijing’s air pollution. That year, Beijing's urban air pollution index had reached level four for 20 weeks. In other words, moderate pollution occurred 40% of the time throughout the year, and severe pollution also occurred from time to time. Walking on the street, the dirty air will choke your throat and make your eyes water.

In order to let the people of the capital breathe fresh air, Beijing has begun a tough battle against pollution. Since 1998, Beijing has adopted a series of emergency measures to control pollution sources such as vehicle exhaust, coal burning, construction site dust, and open-air barbecues. Five years have passed and Beijing’s air quality has improved significantly.

"Now, we can see blue sky and white clouds during the day, and we can see many stars at night." The sky becomes more and more transparent, and Coven can also observe distant stars. It's easier.

According to statistics, compared with 1998, Beijing's air quality improved significantly in 2001, with pollutant concentrations

dropping across the board. The number of days with Level 2 or better than Level 2 reached 185 days, accounting for 50.7% of the total number of days in the year, an increase of 2

3.3 percentage points. In the first half of this year, the number of days with Grade II and better than Grade II was 14 more days than in the same period last year.

The river water has become clear

Every morning, 67-year-old Ren Yulin always rides his tricycle to the Tonghui River in the eastern suburbs of Beijing.

< p>Under the willow shade, I chatted with other old friends all over the world. Mr. Ren said happily: "Look, the water is clear, and the riverside looks like a park. How beautiful it is to be able to enjoy the breeze and chat here every day!"

Since his retirement, the old man has spent most of his time by the river every day. On both sides of the river, there are many people reading or reading newspapers on the grass alone, whispering in pairs, or gathering in groups to enjoy the picturesque beauty< /p>

View.

A few years ago, Mr. Ren Yulin did not dare to be so close to the water. He had to cover his nose when he went here, and he always took a detour

to go to work. At that time, Tonghui River was "notorious". Domestic sewage from residents along the river is discharged directly into the river, and a large amount of industrial wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, electroplating, papermaking, coking and printing and dyeing companies along the river also flows directly into the river.

"At that time, not to mention fish, there was no grass growing in the river. It was a stinky ditch! The river was dark and there was a layer of foam floating on it." In From the old man's point of view, the appearance of Tonghui River at that time was unbearable.

In the eyes of old Beijing, the aura of Beijing lies in the water. With the development of the economy and the rapid increase of the migrant population, the water environment in Beijing has deteriorated day by day, and many rivers have even become smelly ditches. According to surveys, by 1998, 80% of the water surface in Beijing's urban water system was polluted. The Tongzi River, known as the "Necklace" of the Forbidden City, has more than 400 sewage inlets along its banks.

The increasingly worsening urban water environment pollution problem in Beijing has attracted widespread attention from governments at all levels and all walks of life. Rectifying the urban water environment has also frequently become a topic of discussion at the Municipal People's Congress. Hotspot. In recent years, Beijing has invested nearly 10 billion yuan to control water pollution, so that nearly half of the capital, including Tonghui River, has basically paid off its sewage. In the next few years, Beijing will also invest heavily to renovate the city's water system, so that the city's sewage treatment rate reaches 90%, and recreate the beauty of beautiful mountains and rivers, twittering birds and fragrant flowers

environment.

The nights are getting quieter. Starting from this summer, Aunt Ren, who lives near the West Railway Station, can no longer hear the piercing whistle of the train and can

fall into sweet dreams every night. .

Looking down from the window of Aunt Ren’s house, you can see rows of railway tracks stretching into the distance. This railway is extremely busy,

hundreds of trains pass by every day. For decades, trains have whistled no matter whether they are leaving or entering the station, day or night.

“It’s very hot at night in summer, and there’s no air conditioning, so I have to open the windows. I finally fell asleep, but when the train blew its whistle, I woke up again. But It’s really hard.” The old man still looked miserable when he mentioned the past days.

The good days started on July 1 this year. From that day on, Beijing began to ban the whistle of trains running in Chengba District and Tongzhou District. Relevant units also built a four- to five-meter-high wall between the building where Aunt Ren lived and the railway tracks. The

Noise wall is used to block the noise generated by trains traveling on the tracks.

"It's better now. I don't feel much noise at home during the day, and I don't have to worry about it at night." Because she can sleep well at night, Aunt Ren feels better and better. It's getting better and better, and the days are becoming more and more moist.

It’s not just Aunt Ren’s family who has benefited. According to reports, the train banning measures have overall reduced the noise level in Beijing, and have spared more than 140,000 residents along the railway lines from the pain of noise.

In order to create a quiet night for the people, in addition to banning trains, Beijing has also continued to increase the intensity of noise pollution control in recent years:

At construction sites near residential areas , construction is generally not allowed at night; heavy trucks traveling at night also have strict route and time restrictions, which makes Beijingers gradually stay away from the annoying hustle and bustle of the city. In 2001, the average traffic noise level in Beijing was 69.6 decibels, reaching the state-controlled 70 decibels for the first time.

Autumn is coming

The geese flying south tell people: Autumn is coming.

The chrysanthemums are in full bloom in autumn. Some are red, some are yellow, and some are white. The red ones are as red as fire, the yellow ones are as yellow as gold, and the white ones are as white as jade. They have different shapes, some are naughty and cute, while others look solemn. It's amazing. In winter, only plum blossoms "bloom alone in the cold", and in autumn, only chrysanthemums bloom proudly; we learn from the strong will of plum blossoms and the positive spirit of chrysanthemums...

Autumn is a harvest season, Look, on the apple tree in the orchard, densely packed, big, red apples hang high on the tree. The grapes on that vine are purple and big, and they look really drool-worthy. The two pomegranate trees were full of red pomegranates. Their bellies were bulging, and some were so full that they split open. It was as if they had heard some funny joke, and they laughed with their mouths wide open.

The skin is thin, and the pomegranate seeds are white and red, shining like pearls. Throw it into your mouth, it's sweet and delicious.

In the fields, there is a scene of harvest everywhere: the cotton is as white as snow, the cotton branches are covered with peach-like cotton, there are dozens of them on one tree, and the cotton branches are bent over; The rice is as thick as chopsticks; the heavy ears of grain nod frequently; the plump sorghum is as red as fire...

Autumn brings coolness and a slight breeze, making people feel that winter is approaching step by step. Autumn is also the time when leaves show their charm. At this time, a gust of autumn wind blows, and the leaves on the trees put on golden evening dresses and dance romantic dances in groups.

They left wonderful memories at the last moment of their lives...

Autumn not only brings good news of harvest, but also gives people the courage and vitality to work hard
