Li Xiao got up early, planning to go to Wenchang Pavilion early this morning.He put on simple clothes, carried a backpack, and hiked to the scenic spot.

Along the way, he felt different aspects of the city.The night market last night has disappeared, replaced by bustling traffic and pedestrians.He walked through many alleys and saw many old buildings and courtyards.These historic buildings reminded him of the historical stories he heard in the Wang family compound last night.

Finally, Li Xiao came to the gate of Wenchang Pavilion.Wenchang Pavilion is an ancient pavilion built in the Tang Dynasty. It is a place where cultural celebrities offer sacrifices to Emperor Wenchang.Here, people can feel the broad and profound Chinese traditional culture.

He walked into Wenchang Pavilion and felt its sacredness and solemnity.Wenchang Pavilion stands tall, and the stairs on both sides lead to the attic. There are many plaques and inscriptions of cultural celebrities on display in the pavilion, each of which is a witness of history.He quietly admired these cultural heritages and felt the majesty and magnificence of this ancient building.

When he walked out of Wenchang Pavilion, he met a middle-aged man, who was very kind and seemed to be a cultural person when he was young.The man introduced himself as a volunteer guide for Wenchang Pavilion, and he was happy to introduce the history and culture of Wenchang Pavilion to tourists.

Li Xiao was very interested, so he chatted with the man.The man told him that Wenchang Pavilion was built in the Tang Dynasty. It has gone through dynasties and has a history of thousands of years. It is a cultural heritage protection unit in SX Province and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.There are also countless cultural relics in the pavilion, which cover the essence of many traditional Chinese cultures and are worth savoring carefully.

"The design and construction of this attic also contains a lot of ancient wisdom. For example, the wooden structure design of the attic can effectively resist earthquakes. These details reflect the superb skills and profound cultural connotations of ancient architecture." said the man.

Hearing this, Li Xiao felt the infinite depth of culture even more, and he decided to have a deeper understanding of Wenchang Pavilion and the local culture.

The interior of Wenchang Pavilion is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is a place for worshiping Emperor Wenchang, and the lower floor is a place for holding various cultural activities.Li Xiao saw that many calligraphy lovers were writing here, and some of them were still playing Go.He approached a calligraphy lover, and was surprised to find that he was writing Chinese characters with a brush. The speed was very fast, and the thickness of the strokes was appropriate, which seemed very natural.Li Xiao asked him for advice, and the old man said with a smile: "Writing is not about speed, but about pen and ink."

Li Xiao listened carefully to the old man's teachings, and asked him some questions about Wenchang Pavilion and culture. The old man answered his questions very enthusiastically, and introduced some background knowledge of culture, which gave him a better understanding of culture. a deeper understanding.

Li Xiao left Wenchang Pavilion and came to a place called "Dongpo Academy".Dongpo Academy is a well-known local institution. Li Xiao heard that it is an important place for cultural exchange and research, so he decided to take a study tour.

In addition to cultural studies, Li Xiao did not forget to taste the local delicacies.He went to some small restaurants and night markets, and tried local noodles, snacks and pastries. Every food made him feel very delicious.He also went to the local farmhouse to try rural activities such as picking and breeding, and experienced the real farm life.

Walking into Wenchang Pavilion, Li Xiao saw that it was an antique building, surrounded by walls made of blue bricks and tiles, and a few old trees were planted on the wall, and a few old people sat under the trees, drinking tea and chatting, while admiring ancient building.

Passing through the wall, Li Xiao came to the main hall. The main hall is a two-story building, shaped like the character "pin", with a roof covered with blue glazed tiles, surrounded by beautifully carved railings and cornices, and two tall stone lions on both sides of the main entrance.

Li Xiao walked into the main hall and saw rows of bookshelves with various books on display, the most striking of which was a huge ancient book, which was said to be a document from the Qing Dynasty, which was well preserved and rich in content.

We not only have rich ancient books and cultural relics, but also a A group of professional protection and restoration personnel worked hard day and night to protect cultural relics, and the ancient book you just saw is one of their masterpieces."

"Then can I have a look at that ancient book?" Li Xiao asked.

"Of course, but please be careful not to damage it." The old master said, and then led Li Xiao to the side of the ancient book.

The old master smiled and said: "Yes, these ancient books represent our history and culture. They are our treasures and important carriers of our inheritance and traditional culture. But now, many people don't know their existence, let alone It’s time to study and pass it on.”

Li Xiao nodded to express his understanding. He is also very concerned about the protection and inheritance of traditional culture.Seeing that Li Xiao was very interested, the master invited him to participate in their activities and learn some knowledge about ancient book restoration.Li Xiao was very happy and agreed to his invitation.

Li Xiao looked at this dilapidated Buddhist scripture with awe and respect in his heart.He carefully observed every step of the master craftsman's operation. He saw that the master gently brushed the dust off the pages of the book with his hands, then glued the torn pages together with adhesives, and finally wrapped the scriptures with fine silk cloth .

The whole repair process is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring extremely high patience and skill.During this process, Li Xiao deeply realized the importance of cultural heritage protection, and realized the responsibility and mission of inheriting traditional culture.He vowed to study hard and contribute to the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese culture.
