Diary 400 about the ancient city wall of Datong

Diary about the ancient city wall of Datong

There are two major contributors to the success of Datong today. They are the moat and the ancient city wall. The moat is very wide, thirty or forty meters wide. The water is turquoise and lined with old willow trees. The old willow trees have thick trunks, green leaves and the green river water set off each other, which is really beautiful. Maybe it's because of the recent heavy rains that the water level in the moat has risen a lot. Speaking of this, I can't help but think of the scene when Zhuge Liang played the harp on the tower beside the moat and used the empty city strategy to drive back the Wei soldiers.

The weathered moat water laps at the shore, its microwaves sparkle under the sunlight, like playing a hymn of victory. The city wall guarding the river has become a unique landscape. It has been laid off and can only let future generations admire its life. Maybe now it is just an ornament that decorates the city, but its life is worth recalling. For thousands of years, it has accompanied soldiers to resist foreign enemies. It guarded the ancient city of Xiangyang. During the Liberation War, it witnessed the People's Liberation Army breaking through the enemy's defense lines and liberating Xiangyang City...

Today's city walls and moats , is no longer the city defense fortification used to deal with enemies in the past. Its beautiful figure decorates the city's scenery and silently tells the history and story of this city to future generations.
