Early morning wake up, empty room, very, I think of leaving the afternoon, left Nanjing, can not help but have some mixed feelings.
Qinhuai the south, there's Bailuzhou. Though in Nanjing in the past seen a lot of places, but never been to this little-known places. Egret Island, good to hear the name surely had beautiful, so moving to see the idea of an early in the morning went.
Egret Island is the largest park in the south of Nanjing. It is said that this was originally between the founders of the Ming Dynasty Yongle Zhongshan Wang, Xu Da family villas, so too is also known as Xu Xu, Zhongshan Park, Bon-Garden, or. Zhengde of next years, this garden has been built very complete, as Nanjing, "the greatest whereas male cool," the garden, and named for the East Garden. Qing dynasty, moved the capital to Peking, Nanjing and not the Kyoto popularity, the garden has gradually tended to injure or abolition of the late Qing Xiao Xie time is no deposit. By 1929, the Nanjing municipal authorities of this place opened up, "Egret Island Park", but to the Puppet Regimes period, because the war-torn, no one take into account the maintenance repairs, parks and then reduced to ruins. Now, after years of restoration construction, Egret Island Park, to restore its former glory once again become a shining pearl of the Qinhuai-river.
Go out early in the morning when the weather is clear wet, the rain last night outlining the traces, in the streets where, in the flowers, as well as the sky has not yet remover. Nanjing, with distinct four seasons the north, also has the elegance and talent southern spring has come, moist Run, and tree-Qing Yin, flowers everywhere, and its own kind of style. This is also the reason I like Nanking.
To Egret Island, into the west gate, far, and I could hear in that small green cover among Dangzhuo bright tones of voice. Xunsheng around, suddenly in the left trees, flashing him a stage, a group of elderly people are gather together, rhythmic singing Peking opera, it is even an air of professional care than that fraction. Although I do not know opera, but stop a moment, a look at these old people into singing, is no longer the work of physical exertion, do not have to be so many can not do anything, it is worthy of appreciation. Apart from easy, and my heart suddenly emitted a thought: I am one of a group of people.
Move forward very far, suddenly cheerful up, suddenly, a large fine of the water, jump field of vision, let me state of mind at once opened. That distant waters where, in the decorative pavilion before, there are a bunch of stone-cutting reed island, several egrets scattered in there, like a leisurely feeding, deemed to playing in the water and drew out a leisure. Although it was a statue, but in this some hazy morning, but as a general real heron. Read this scene, feeling Bailuzhou how apt the name.
Went forward, to a seven-hole bridge, a pavilion showing off in front of us. Looking at the surface and the other side, when suddenly there was a feeling of deja vu, in front of everything, does not seem strange. Looked about, suddenly realized that this Bailuzhou mercy, with the Beijing Summer Palace, some are similar, opposite Rain in Xuan and Xin-yuan Tang, nature and the Summer Palace, close to many of the layout of the north shore, it appears that there is the classic meaning. I would like to, I wonder if Bailuzhou emulate the Summer Palace, or the Summer Palace learned Egret Island, and it does not matter, this also gives some space for reverie. If it is a coincidence, then illustrate the exquisite gardens, similar to its own.
After a delicate rockery pavilion, the bridge came to music, see an old man is being then stream side of busy. That old man some lean, a blue cloth Zhongshan clothing, squatting there, quick and neat way fiddle with brush, scrub the cage. The rocks on his side, arrayed in three cages, bird cage to get in, sent bursts of sweet Timing. Stone Edge has a white puppy, which is a pug a class, and sprinkle with Huan, Huang came to the first Akira brain. It is to see me coming, ran to front, holding my legs, hilarious together. Really interesting, can not help but tease it a few, it has been causing more Huan. Old man met and quickly reclaim the dog, do not let it trouble, right I have some apologies to smile. Look at his intention to speak, I asked what it was a bird cage, why screamed so nicely. See I asked him, he is most proud of birds, straightened up, could not help Hei hei burst out laughing. He pointed to that circle bigger cages, this is gold inside the wings, you Look at the color and gold wings the same. He also pointed out that the small square cage a smaller carriage Yellow Bird said it was Leiothrix, Do not look it heads a small, but it can be called. He looked at me, pointing to another one bird said, this is called white-eye, Look at the eyes, how good-looking. Then he said that most birds have four types of call, which is one of the three. He also said that what kind of bird cages on what there is to support the rules, adding that although these birds have come to call, but you can not do no matter, so that they will be angry, unhappy, not a few days is called, it is necessary to take care of every day, very time-delayed, you work with young people busy, no time to fiddle with this thing.
Passed Quqiao, look at this breeze perform household where the cage, he felt that people are very interesting. A few birds is not a serious thing, and one that he has put into his beloved world, even if there is not much value to things, they will enjoy the fun. Life is so, work, study, careers as well.
To the south, see under the willows, there are several people sitting in Mazar, confronted with the quiet of the lake, quietly Shouhou a slender rod. Go fishing, may not catch any big fish on, unless specifically raise a bit of fish, but in this environment, fishing, it is not only for fish and fisheries of. World affairs is such, and sometimes to do a thing, not to what is fame, but to find a mood of garden sustenance. Along the water's edge, slowly walk, and the birds sing sound, the flowers open in Chad, the appreciation of the ancient hair color with Ukrainian pavilion, emitting a spiritual flavor of the garden. A person, regardless of what other things have been tired, no matter by what can not do anything, when his heart there is such a super-vulgar garden is undoubtedly quiet, but also happy.
