Travel notes of Yuyan Academy

I got up early this morning, and I was in poor spirits. I only read a few pages, and I was inexplicably upset. I thought I would go out for a walk. After breakfast at eight o'clock, I began to pack up my things: there was a backpack with an umbrella and a sweat towel in it, and a bottle of cold boiled water in the outer pocket of the backpack. When it was about 8: 3, I changed my clothes, shoes and socks, put on my backpack and put on my hat and went out.

however, it was only when I went downstairs that I found it was raining lightly, the ground was wet and the air was filled with foggy water vapor. Seeing this weather, my heart is even more agitated. I thought the weather was against me, too. I finally packed my bags and ignited the mood of going out for a walk, which was ruined by this drizzle.

Just as I was hesitating to turn around, a flash of light suddenly flashed into my mind, and a familiar scene jumped into my mind: I visited the school's biology park in a slight drizzle when I was in a bad mood at school, and I still remember the unique experience of visiting the park in the rain. The present situation is so similar to that at that time, why not have another "garden tour in the rain"? After thinking about it, I quickly locked the "Garden" of this "Garden in the Rain"-Yuyan Academy. Yuyan Academy is located on the hillside behind Xiangxue Park. It is said that it was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 8 years. The academy is hidden in deep trees, so it is easy to be ignored if you don't look for it when you visit Xiangxue Park. Who would have thought that there was an ancient academy hidden under the lush canopy?

I made up my mind and strode into the drizzle. Yuyan Academy is about three kilometers away from my home. After nearly half an hour's walk, I arrived at the expected academy. Probably because of the rain, I didn't see the tourists. So I started to "tour the academy in the rain" alone.

the first thing you see after entering the academy is an ancient zhaobi, which records the long history and origin of the academy in detail. Bypassing the zhaobi is the main entrance of the academy. The main entrance is located directly behind the zhaobi. After passing through the round moon gate, you can see the magnificent college gate. In the middle of the gate is written the vigorous and powerful gold-plated characters "Yuyan Academy". Up the gate is an arcade with Lingnan characteristics, and there are vivid colored sculptures on the roof of the arcade. These colored sculptures are exactly the same as those on the roof of the Chenjiaci, which represents Lingnan architecture, highlighting the strong Lingnan characteristics. Going up to the gate through the heavy stone steps, looking to the left is a quaint building-the bell tower, and looking to the right is another building with blue bricks and gray tiles. I stayed here for a while and felt the grandeur of the academy. After I stayed, I lifted my feet and moved on.

after entering the academy, there are various courtyards and halls. Each courtyard has its own uniqueness: some courtyards are surrounded by buildings, and the middle is enclosed to form an inner courtyard patio, and some stone tables and chairs are placed in the patio, which is where scholars talk about classics and Taoism; Some courtyards have buildings on three sides, and a landscape wall on the other side. At the foot of the landscape wall, there are fake mountains and rivers, shaded by green bamboo, which is very quiet. This is where monks meditate alone. Some courtyards are wide and large, which can accommodate many people to drink and compose poems together; Some patios are thin and narrow, suitable for placing a table and chair for two people to talk in whispers ...

Each hall is different: some halls are hung with plaques for statues, and there are tall plaques on both sides, with complete tables and chairs, which seems to be a place for preaching and teaching; In some halls, there is no ornament in the "four walls of the family" room, only three or two old stools, just like the room where poets study hard alone; Some halls are high and big, with extraordinary momentum, and they are places where people gather for meetings. Some halls are low and small, with quiet environment, and they are places where scholars study behind closed doors ...

Walking through the academies, every space is the ultimate beauty carefully created by the ancients. Although the whole academy is not big and there are not many buildings, its space is very good. Moving from one hall to another is another sight. It's really a hole in the sky, and people have to admire the wonderful thoughts of the ancients. This is the embodiment of the characteristic courtyards in ancient China. Although this academy can't compare with the Grand View Garden and Suzhou Garden, the ingenious handling of its space is amazing.

when I was about to go out from the opposite gate after visiting a courtyard, I just stepped on the threshold, and when I looked up, there was gurgling water clinging to the mountain wall, and the water mist was churning. The ingenious design seems to have the feeling of mountains and waterfalls under the contrast of surrounding scenery. The mood has not yet turned out from the artificial scene in the hospital, and then it suddenly jumps into such a wonderful natural scene, which makes people feel a sense of peace and tranquility in their hearts. The transformation of this space scenery makes people linger and can't help but be happy.

Walking on, I came to a courtyard and suddenly saw a stone step stretching behind the opposite door, so I strolled on it curiously. Climbing all the way, I found that this stone step actually leads to the back hill. Climbing up the stairs, I soon reached the mountainside, and suddenly I saw a stream of mountain springs flowing with fine water, and the water quality was extremely clear. There are many gravel at the bottom of the stream, but there is not a trace of dirt impurities. It is really a natural mountain spring. I think all the running water I just saw in the hospital came here. This spring water is so pure that I can't help holding it in my palm and feeling the change of water flow carefully. The spring water drips through my fingers, and the spring water is cool, so the original troubles and impurities in my life and work are washed away and disappeared, leaving a touch of tranquility and coolness in my heart.

after watching the spring, I got up and moved on. Just a few steps, turned a small stone road, and a few pale trees came into view. The trunk is vigorous and the crown is huge. The stone path under the tree extends all the way to the back of the thick trunk, and there seems to be something to be found not far away. So I looked up at the towering old tree and continued to pace forward. Just bypassing the ancient tree, my eyes suddenly opened like eyes closed for a long time. There were no other trees behind this ancient tree, but only a stone terrace was in sight. At first glance, it is Xiangxue Park in the misty rain and fog at the foot of the mountain. In the distance, it is a local cultural village, and in the distance, it is a graceful continuous mountain. I couldn't help being deeply shocked by this sudden magnificent scenery. Who would have thought that there would be such a world with a broad vision after walking through a long and secluded path? At this point, I admire the profound wisdom of the ancients one more point. Standing on this side of the world, I look far and wide, feel the greatness of the world, and at the same time sigh my own smallness. Accompanied by a noble spirit gathered in my chest, my mind was naturally washed here, which was very happy. This is really a wonderful feeling.

In the misty rain, the grey roof with Lingnan characteristics of the Academy was blurred in the drizzle. I stand in this small world, feeling this tranquility and serenity in detail. For a long time, I don't want to leave, but life still has to go on, and I can't stay in this paradise-like world all the time.

I don't know how long it took, but the drizzle finally stopped, the ground was still wet, and the foggy water vapor in the air began to dissipate slowly. When I got up and returned, I walked slowly through the academy, once again enjoying the beauty of this building, space and artistic conception, and once again feeling the profound wisdom and wonderful techniques of the ancients. Unconsciously, I saw a few vigorous characters of "Yuyan Academy", but I have already returned to the main entrance of the academy. I looked back at the college shaded by trees, took a deep breath and set foot on the road home with firm steps.
