Chapter 482: Men are not good things



Yunluo and Liuxun were like a fairy couple, traveling freely and carefree. At home, the three girls, An Chuyu, Yan Chenyu and An Qingjue, had cold faces and were all criticizing Yunluo, the bad guy. However, Xiang Chuchunzi stayed out of it.

The maid carefully took care of the snacks of the three cute animals, the husky Lord, the black cat Heitan, and the red mouse Tangtang. The six-year-old girl Qingshui Tianzi had gone home a long time ago, and An Chuyu drove her back personally, which made An Chuyu scold Yunluo a lot.

Unfortunately, no matter how the three childhood sweethearts scolded Yunluo, it could not affect Yunluo and Liuxun's fun of playing. These two people were both strong-minded. Although Yunluo knew that he would be unlucky if he went home, he decided to wait until he got back.

There is a long and winding walking trail between the mountain gate and the second gate of Huanglong Cave. If you look down from the air, it looks like a swimming dragon. Along the way, there are ancient trees and bamboos, flowers and plants, clear pools, low walls and lattice windows, and many sights to enjoy. It is called "guiding" in the composition of temples and gardens. It is like a prelude, which helps tourists to enter the secular world, adjust their minds, and gradually enter the beautiful scenery.

Huanglong Cave has a long history of bamboo scenery, and the secluded bamboo paths are another unique feature. The strong and slender big bamboos are more than ten meters high, forming a forest; the small white bamboos are only 20 to 30 centimeters shorter, and are fluffy and lovely; the thin and dark purple bamboos, Luohan bamboos, pen-shaped bamboos, and golden jade bamboos are dotted in the rockery and gardens, with a refreshing charm.

The most worth seeing is the bamboo in Fangzhu Garden. There is an ancient saying that the bamboos are "square in shape as if they were cut, yet strong and straight enough to be used as pillars, and are also a special kind."

Square bamboo is a kind of precious ornamental bamboo. The bamboo stalk is green, the small bamboo pole is round, and the bamboo pole is square when mature. There are small thorn branches on the bamboo joints. The green bamboo is swaying in the shape of a tower. It is lush and green, gorgeous and elegant. It is deeply loved by people for its unique bamboo species and quiet and refined quality.

Every year around the Qingming Festival, when the rain stops and the warm wind blows, bamboo shoots sprout everywhere, along the walls, roadsides, at the foot of the mountains, and behind the courtyards. Some overturn rocks, unstoppable; others grow in clusters of two or three, fiercely competing. The tranquil Huanglong Cave Garden is filled with vitality.

There is a sculpture of a yellow dragon boy in the square bamboo garden, with boys on the top, bottom, left and right. The yellow dragon boy is a traditional folk auspicious image, symbolizing the prosperity and healthy growth of the dragon's descendants. The bronze statue of the "Yellow Dragon Boy" made of forged copper is divided into two when viewed from the front and four when viewed from the side. It is lively and interesting in shape.

Yue Lao Temple is the main attraction of Huanglong Cave. In the center of the temple is a statue of Yue Lao, holding a "marriage certificate" with a kind look, as if praying for lovers to finally get married. There are two murals on both sides, the left one is the story of Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang's three smiles of marriage, and the right one is the story of the number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty choosing the prime minister's daughter as his wife.

Yunluo and Liuxun burned incense at the Yue Lao Temple. It is said that the newly built Yue Lao Temple has become the main attraction of Huanglong Cave. All couples who come to Huanglong Cave must visit the Yue Lao Temple, and some even kowtow in front of the Yue Lao statue.

Huanglong New Music House near Hezhi Pavilion plays beautiful Jiangnan Sizhu music for tourists every day. Representative repertoires include: "Spring River Moon Night", "Erquan Yingyue", "Butterfly Lovers" and other classic music.

To the west of the Huanglong Folk Music Performance Hall is a quiet little courtyard. In the embrace of the bamboo forest, the pavilion stands lonely and isolated. Perhaps this place is too remote.

In recent years, all the staff of Huanglong Cave are dressed in ancient costumes, and a wine flag in the style of Taibai is hung obliquely on the eaves of the pavilion beside the pool. Visitors can go in for a drink and watch the opera performed by the Huanglong Yue Opera Troupe of West Lake City in the pavilion in front. You can also listen to ancient Chinese music in front of the Huanglong Ancient Cave. The sound is very loud after being reflected by the ancient cave, and the sound lingers in the air after the song ends.

After visiting the main scenic area of ​​Huanglong Cave, Yunluo and Liuxun went up the mountain to see another main scenic spot, Yuanyuan Terrace, but they had to walk up a small slope.

Yuanyuan Terrace is an activity area for tourists to lock love locks and hold wedding ceremonies and sworn brotherhood ceremonies. In the middle hangs a love lock with a "缘" pattern on the copper lock. On both sides extend many red lines, on which hang various unique small love locks, which are purchased and hung by lovers traveling together.

This love lock has a small space inside, which can be used to store love letters and keepsakes, allowing tourists to treasure their secrets.

On both sides of the Yuanyuan platform hang a couplet with profound meaning: "Golden lock and silver lock, lock to lock, it is difficult to open this lock without reason, your heart and my heart, heart to heart, we are destined to be together forever." In the center hangs a giant copper love lock with a diameter of five meters, which is finely carved and ingenious, and can be called the "World Lock King".

The "缘" pattern in the copper lock implies a perfect marriage and eternal love. Many red lines extend from both sides, connecting to the stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes on both sides. Tens of thousands of exquisite small copper locks of various shapes are ringing in the wind. There is a small space in this double-linked love lock for lovers to store their private words and tokens, and to engrave their surnames and dates.

After Yunluo and Liuxun put the lock on their place, they took out a numbered "fate book" as proof. If they come back to visit again in the future and see the love words or tokens from the past, they can reminisce about the past and have much fun. This is also the main venue for wedding ceremonies in the Folk Customs Park.

Going up the mountain path from Yuanyuan Terrace, you can see the stone carvings of Woyun Cave along the way. It is said that the cave is spacious and often filled with fog, hence the name Woyun Cave. Unfortunately, it was too late to enter the cave. Continue up to the back door exit leading to the Qixia Ridge of Baoshi Mountain. To the east of the exit is the Baochu Pagoda on Baoshi Mountain; to the west is the Yue Temple.

The two walked lazily down the mountain and took the bus to Lakeside Park. At the entrance of the park stands a stone inscription written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

In the bay of the Lakeside Park, on an open area of ​​water, there is a pavilion dormant among fields of lotus leaves. It has double eaves, a hip roof, and is supported by six wooden pillars. It is built extremely lightly and transparently, like a finishing touch, bringing together the spirit of distant mountains and nearby waters. It is one of the landmark buildings on the West Lake.

In ancient times, there was a small black pavilion here, which was later destroyed by wind and rain. In the fourth year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign in the Qing Dynasty, a shooting pavilion was rebuilt on the waterfront to provide a safe place for the emperor to inspect the Eight Banners garrison troops. At that time, the flowers and willows in Tingzi Bay were in full bloom, and the sound of swords and bows could be heard every day, but the fish and birds were not startled, so it was called "Tingwan Riding and Shooting".

The pavilion is surrounded by flat sand and shallow grass, which was where the Eight Banners children of the Qing Dynasty practiced riding and archery. The ground on the nearby lakeshore is paved with many floor tiles engraved with pictures of fitness and martial arts; there is no guardrail on the road connecting the pavilion and the lakeshore, which is said to be for a wide field of vision during military parades.

Walking along the lakeside from Tingwan, you will see a stone tablet with the handwriting of Emperor Qianlong. The "Qianlong Reviewing Military Poems Stele" is well preserved and the handwriting is still clear.

Yunluo recited aloud the poem by Emperor Qianlong, "The sun is shining brightly and the wind is gentle, and the troops are parading in the square." Then he looked at the horse riding and archery in Tingwan and the open lake. The gleam of swords and shadows of swords in the past seemed to reappear before his eyes, and the heroic spirit of "inspecting the troops in the autumn on the battlefield" surged into his chest.

Not far away is an elegant pavilion named "Wanxiang Pavilion", with a plaque inscribed by a contemporary calligrapher. On both sides of the pavilion are couplets written by Zhang Xueli and Shang Xiangqian: The boundless beauty of the wind and moon is the result of the intention of the lake and mountains; the garden is fortunate only because of the affection of the calligraphy and painting. A group of Yue Opera fans often gather here, and the elegant tunes add a different style to the West Lake.

Opposite the Wanxiang Pavilion, large golden lotus leaves floated high above the water. It was early winter, and only dead leaves and residual lotus roots were left. Although they lacked the refreshing grace of lotus flowers, they had a unique beauty of imperfection.

Not far away there is a pier where various cruise ships are docked. Tourists can rent a small boat from there. The boatman stands at the stern, rowing and explaining the historical legends related to each scenic spot. The boat moves slowly, swaying with the waves, reminiscent of the poetic boating of the ancients on the West Lake.

In the lake in front of the group of mother sculptures is a lotus pond. Among the withered lotus leaves and broken lotus roots, a sculpture of a lotus-picking girl and her boat is hidden among the dead leaves. The lake water a little further away is quietly and lively, flashing with fish-scale-like ripples, affectionately retaining the layers of mountains surrounding the lake on three sides. I really hope that all mothers in the world can have a worry-free and trouble-free old age.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The Lakeside Park is one kilometer long and consists of six gardens of varying sizes. From south to north, they are the first to the sixth parks, collectively known as the Lakeside Park. The weeping willows, pines, cypresses, and camphor trees planted in the park form a dense shade of green trees, and the exquisite flower beds are decorated with various flowers, which are colorful and fragrant, just like a colorful seven-color ribbon.

Along the lake are beautifully shaped, green, and exquisitely carved stone pillar street lamps. The park also has flower stands and pavilions for people to drink tea and rest, which not only reflects the atmosphere of a modern city park, but also retains the fresh, neat, clean and cheerful characteristics of a lakeside park.

Yunluo and Liuxun walked slowly, admiring the scenery of West Lake City, which were rare sights.

Arriving at the Su Causeway on Nanshan Road, Yunluo saw a statue of Su Dongpo at the entrance. Su Shi had served in West Lake twice, three years as a judge and two years as a prefect. During his tenure as the prefect of West Lake, he managed the West Lake, dredged the lake and formed the Su Causeway. The embankment was full of pink peach blossoms and green willows, and from then on, there was a new place to visit West Lake.

In the clearing in the woods between Lakeside Residence and Fengbo Pavilion stands a statue of an Italian traveler who praised West Lake City as the "City of Paradise" and praised West Lake City as "the most magnificent city in the world!" Today, the statue still looks the same as it did seven hundred years ago, wearing a Western-style robe and looking forward to the new look of West Lake City today, repeating the surprise of that year.

On the large lawn facing the West Lake in the Shangri-La Hotel, there is a statue of the master of Chinese painting. He wears a melon-shaped hat, glasses on his nose, and holds a drawing board in his hands, gazing motionlessly at the West Lake in front of him.

In a hidden flowerbed, there is a group of sculptures with a strong sense of life. Two old men are playing chess. One of them has drooping eyelids, hesitant and a little overwhelmed; the other has a calm pulse, yellowish whites of his eyes, and a full spirit, which shows that he is a strong player who has just made a good move.

There is also an old man holding a bird cage watching chess next to him. The bird in the cage is jumping happily. If it is a talking thrush, it may not watch chess without saying a word. Lakeside Park is like a green ribbon floating on the bank of West Lake. From here, you can see the vast lake with rippling blue waves. The new ten scenic spots of West Lake are called Lakeside Sunny and Rainy.

Liu Xun quietly leaned against Yun Luo, coughed a few times, and covered her mouth with a tissue like a lady. She was very skillful and didn't let Yun Luo see anything before she crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can. But Yun Luo's eyes were fixed. His sense of smell was very sensitive, and he could smell that when Liu Xun coughed just now, she coughed up blood! r1152
