Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 365

After dinner, a group of people walked through the other door of the hotel. When they came out, there was a stream with a pier and cruise ships.Mr. Wu explained that this creek is connected to the Slender West Lake, and it only takes a while to reach the scenic spot.

This is an antique semi-enclosed motorized antique painting boat with a spacious space and a long table in the middle, which is more than enough for six people to sit on.

After a while, the cruise ship paddled into the Slender West Lake, and the water surface suddenly became muddy and vast.Along with the boat, there is a part-time tour guide to explain and make tea, and there is also a boatman who sails the boat at the stern.

Wang Yiyuan and the others began to swim on the beautiful and graceful Slender West Lake on the cruise ship.

The surface of the lake is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. The ten-mile lake on both sides of the shore, pavilions, terraces and pavilions are well arranged, and places of interest and historical relics are scattered among them. The unique natural scenery and rich cultural landscape are in harmony with each other. .The cruise ship is like walking through the long scrolls of mountains and rivers, and it has a sense of leisure and leisure.

This is Wang Yiyuan's first visit to Yangzhou and the first time he saw Slender West Lake.

However, he should have seen the name of Yangzhou when he was in elementary school. I don’t know how many times he has recited the phrase "Fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March" by Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai.

Later, I read famous sentences such as "Yangzhou dream once in ten years, won the honor of the brothel", "The famous capital of Huaizuo, the best place in Zhuxi", "Ten miles of spring breeze on Yangzhou Road" and other famous sentences, not only know Yangzhou, but also have a long time ago yearning heart.

The most fascinating place in Yangzhou should be the Slender West Lake.In this way, while drinking tea, Wang Yiyuan inadvertently had a perfect encounter with the real Yangzhou and the real Slender West Lake this time.

He couldn't help holding Xiao Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, and the two stood on the side of the boat, looking into the distance.

Regarding the origin of the name of Slender West Lake, the tour guide also explained a legend.

It is said that Wang Hang, a poet in the Qianlong period, was born in Qiantang, Zhejiang. He was quite familiar with the West Lake in Hangzhou. Poetry, "The hanging poplars are constantly picking up the remnants, and the wild goose-toothed red bridge is like a picture. It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake."Since then, Yangzhou's "Slender West Lake" has become famous all over the world.

Wang Yiyuan has visited Hangzhou West Lake many times before.He feels that compared with Hangzhou West Lake, although Slender West Lake looks thinner, it does not lack the charm of West Lake.Looking at the Slender West Lake from its appearance, it is a curved and narrow river channel strung together with scenic spots on both sides of the long embankment, forming a natural and beautiful three-dimensional scroll of mountains and rivers.

A group of people sometimes sailed, and sometimes landed ashore. The land and waterways were parallel, and they walked along the way to see.Although the weather is a bit cold and there are not many tourists, I feel comfortable and contented.

Slender West Lake is a model of the perfect combination of lake and scenery.The promenades on both sides of the lake stretch along the cloud wall, and the garden buildings are simple and colorful. The whole scenic spot is surrounded by green waves, which naturally embodies the artistic conception of "the flowers and willows on both embankments are all on the water, and the towers all the way to the mountain".

During the stroll, the quaint pavilions, lush trees and seasonal flowers decorate the narrow and curved Slender West Lake in a variety of ways. Everywhere you go is a pleasing landscape painting.

The tour guide said that it is best to visit Yangzhou Slender West Lake in late autumn, when the lake is thinner, and even the mountains in the garden seem to be thinner.Only because of his thinness, he looks extra energetic and unrestrained, just like a light and elegant picture drawn by a painter.

She said that Slender West Lake is a [-]A-level tourist attraction and a world cultural heritage, with a water area of ​​more than [-] mu.This classical garden group is a combination of southern beauty and northern beauty. The lake area is divided into bridges, islands, embankments, and banks to form a clever combination of layers, twists and turns on the long and narrow lake. Landscape, landscape garden landscape with gardens in the garden.

Maybe it's because of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the weather is relatively cold. Most of the cruise ships are docked by the lake, and there are not many cruise ships on the water. The whole lake looks calm and desolate.

However, even in such a scene, Wang Yiyuan also passed the poems of Guo Shijing, an ancient talent in Yangzhou, from his mind at this time,

The bright moon climbs into the sky, the scenery is quiet, and the river is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou.There are three mountains in the distance, and the four lights are clear and the water is pouring.Painted boats are not lost in the way of generations, tall buildings should reflect the worries of beauties.Come and go, enjoy the clear shadows as you like, and the piccolo will never rest at night.

It's just a pity that they didn't come on a moonlit night when they came, otherwise at this moment, as if they were in the scene, the scenery, meaning, and poetry would all be combined together.

The tour guide said that there are many scenic spots in Slender West Lake, such as Xiaojin Mountain, Diaoyutai, Wuting Bridge, Shibi Liucong, Jingxiang Bookstore, various flower beds and small bridges, among which 24 bridges are the most famous.

24 bridge, because there were 24 beauties playing flute here in ancient times, so it is named.This is a single-hole arch bridge, with white marble railings, flowing like jade belts, like neon lying on waves.Its white stone arch bridge is 24 meters long and 24 meters wide, surrounded by 24 jade railings.

Jiang Kui rapped in "Yangzhou Slow", "The 24 bridge is still there, the heart is shaking, and the cold moon is silent. Read the red medicine by the bridge, and you will know who is born every year."

Back then, on a moonlit night, shrouded in brilliance and the shadow of the moon, literati and scholars gathered in the boat, and there were singers singing the melodious flute sound from the depths of the lake. Water, moon, lanterns, flute, celebrities and beauties gathered together. here.People have to sigh that "three points of the world are bright moon nights, and two points are rogues in Yangzhou".

The current bridge was restored and rebuilt in the 80s.Where the real 24 bridge is has long been uncertain, but now that the 24 bridge is still there, who will the thousand peonies bloom for?

Wang Yiyuan stood on the bridge and looked around.The viburnum flowers have all fallen and the willow silk grows long, and the wind on the lake is angry and cool. 24 In the misty rain on the bridge, the painted boats appeared in the middle of the water.

He suddenly woke up. A few days before he came to Shanghai five years ago, at about this time, the bamboo stick he had asked for in Ashoka Temple in Ningbo, and the thin sticky paper on it. In a word.

Xiao Xiaoxiao stood beside Wang Yiyuan.She suddenly felt that Wang Yiyuan was a little tighter on her own, holding her hand a little harder for some reason, and even felt a faint pain.

Wang Yiyuan stood there, looking at all these things in front of him without moving, feeling that they were so familiar and intimate, as if there had never been any distance or strangeness.

The green mountains are faintly covered with water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in winter.For Jinghuai people, they are generally happy, but they are in different moods.Wang Yiyuan couldn't help sighing, "On a moonlit night at the 24th bridge, where can the jade man teach me how to play the flute?
