Now, I will share with you the process of cutting an equilateral triangle.
just learning equilateral triangles in books, the teacher thinks that we haven't fully understood equilateral triangles, so let's cut an equilateral triangle ourselves. I was very anxious at first, so long as the three sides were the same length, regardless of the willy-nilly, but I didn't cut it well for a long time.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the sum of the internal angles of the triangle is 18 degrees, and 18÷3=6 degrees, so each angle should be 6 degrees. Then the opening sizes of the three angles of the triangle should be the same, and the last three sides should be the same length. Through these two conditions, I quickly cut the equilateral triangle. I learned two things by cutting equilateral triangles: First, I can learn math well only by practicing in my life.
Second, you should think in many ways to solve the problem. When you feel that this road won't work, there will always be a solution by changing the road. Please accept it if you are satisfied. 3. Spring Tour in Dangkou Ancient Town Composition
The quaint Dangkou Ancient Town with small bridges and flowing water is a good place for a spring tour. Black tiles, white walls and ancient houses are really like an elegant ink painting! Crescent-shaped bridge straddles the river. If you stand on the bridge and look into the distance, the ribbon-like river extends from the end of your sight to your feet.
The river flows slowly, without a wrinkle, like a young girl's face. Sometimes you will see a few boats coming this way. The boatman is standing at the stern, constantly swinging the oar, and the water surface is rippling for a while, and the calm river is teased.
As long as you walk by the river in the ancient town, the sound of running water is endless, which is the unique "music" of the river. You will also see rows of willows by the river spreading their tender leaves, and the shadows are so vivid in the river. At first glance, you thought rows of willows had grown in the river!
On both sides of the ancient green slate, there are quaint houses, and a faint fragrance wafts, which is the unique fragrance of food. The food in the ancient town is not world-famous, at least it is "world-famous" in our dangkou. Jin's sesame seed cake, Tang Buer, steamed buns, sugar-blower, oily meat ... It makes people droop a hundred feet and have a big appetite. I can't wait to sweep away all the food in the store.
When you finish your dinner, you can also experience the feeling of the cradle by boat in the ancient town. Sitting on the boat, the boatman shook the oar left and right at the stern, and the boat shook left and right like a cradle. Ears echoed with touching music and the "rushing" sound on the river, which made you feel sleepy in heaven.
I suggest going to Dangkou ancient town for a spring outing, where there is a different spring. 4. Dangkou culture in Dangkou ancient town
The wind of filial piety has been passed down from generation to generation.
The virtue of humility and Confucianism originated from Wu culture. Filial piety is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, especially in dangkou. Ding Lan in Han Dynasty, Hua Bao in Jin Dynasty, Hua Youwu in the late Yuan Dynasty and Hua Zhengu in the early Ming Dynasty.
Hua Youwu and Hua Zhengu's "Spring Grass Pavilion", which served their mothers, migrated from Xiyang to Goose Lake. After hundreds of years, it can be called the first family nursing home in China. Dangkou has also built a place of filial piety and respect for the elderly, such as Yi Lao Yuan and Yang Xuan Zhai, and inherited the fine tradition of "filial piety is the first thing to do".
Shen Zhou, an outstanding painter and calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, wrote an inscription for Dangkou Hua Meng Yang Xuan Zhai: "The filial son in the Southern Qi Dynasty has been filial for thousands of years, and this generation still gives birth to his mother." Wen Zhiming presented Hua Shizhen with a poem saying: "The grandparents and grandchildren are good and three generations, and morality is valued for a hundred years."
In the late Ming Dynasty, Hua Yuncheng, a loyal minister, showed great devotion, risked his life to remonstrate, and sacrificed his life for righteousness, which has always inspired the descendants of the Fahrenheit family. Abide by filial piety, push others, love all sentient beings, and do our best to help things.
the transformation of "filial piety" into "righteousness" is a concrete manifestation of the filial piety culture being sublimated into practical actions. Dangkou set up a warehouse in Huazhong in the early Ming Dynasty to help the poor. During the reign of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (153), Hua Zhen first built the first Yizhuang in Wuxi (about 5 years earlier than Huayun's Yizhuang); During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Huacha created a labor field to help the people; During the reign of Emperor Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, Hua Jinsi donated 134 mu of righteous fields and established the old righteous village in Fahrenheit.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the number of fields in Laoyizhuang reached 7, mu, ranking first in southern Jiangsu. Subsequently, Fahrenheit successively built Yongyizhuang, Xinyizhuang, Xiangyizhuang, Chunyizhuang, and Xu Yizhuang, Yinyizhuang, Xuyizhuang, etc. In its heyday, there were nearly ten Yizhuang in the town, which were the first in the south of the Yangtze River and rare in the whole country. Dangkou's Yizhuang has careful rules and regulations, which has played a positive role in supporting the poor, helping the poor, and educating children.
The culture of filial piety not only makes the Huashi family prosperous, but also creates a simple and harmonious social environment in Dangkou area. "Filial piety and righteousness" has become one of the important characteristics of Dangkou culture.
The foundation of poetry and propriety is profound and has a long history. In the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, after the ancestor Hua Zhengu moved to Dangkou in Fahrenheit, the local economy and society developed rapidly.
Hua Zhengu was recruited by the imperial court as a Confucian scholar with filial piety and integrity. Since childhood, he was eager to learn, familiar with hundred schools of thought, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and was able to integrate them, forming a unique family education theory, and wrote The Collection of Thoughts. "Think about it" is taken from the sentence "Think about it before you get it" in University.
Later generations regarded The Collection of Thoughts as a classic of family management, which was handed down from generation to generation by the descendants of Hua Shi, laying the foundation for the rapid development of Hua Shi's family. Here, we have compiled some quotations of Hua Zhengu's "Think before you get it" for readers.
1. Take righteousness as the benefit and accumulate virtue as the priority. 2, filial piety is connected with the gods, and good deeds come to Baixiang.
3, take it, and there is always a shadow. Take economic things as the heart, and plant virtue for future generations.
when dealing with things, it is better for people to be negative than for me. Do as you would be done by.
4, the heart of charity, the way of loyalty and filial piety, has been followed by my family for generations, and my family has not done anything that hurts people and harms people. 5, people's success or failure, there must be a reason, for good, for evil, for failure, and there is no doubt that reason is inevitable.
what is reasonable is good, and what is unreasonable is evil. 6. Xin You's introspective poem warning: Don't be greedy and have no regrets, and keep your score without worry.
there is no resentment when you are firm, and there is no demand when you are motivated. 7, training and learning book: sweeping should be peaceful and respectful, gentle and sincere.
learn to cultivate one's morality, show filial piety and loyalty, and learn to be thorough in understanding things. Benevolence and righteousness are virtuous and sage, and the descendants of this motto are listening.
8. release yourself: collect the thin land and live in a humble house. Wear clothes and eat light porridge.
bow your head and curl up. Don't be greedy for money, don't indulge.
being good and being poor can endure humiliation. Flexibility, such as stretching, is a blessing.
9. death: living in the floating world, my heart is like a cloud. Realizing the past, I am happy between heaven and earth.
With the infiltration of the geomantic treasure-house of Goose Lake and the cultivation of poetic culture, Dangkou has become a "country of filial piety" and a "celebrity shaking the blue". Small bridge with flowing water near the river is located in Dangkou ancient town, where geese are swaying in the east, Qingdang in the south, Caiwan swinging in the north and Sushe swinging in the west. Around the ancient town, there are dense river networks.
Bodu River is criss-crossed with the city river, Beicang River, Beixin River, Dongxin River, Eel Bank, Yinyubang, Miaobang and Xinkai River in the town. Lakes, rivers, bridges, boats, restored pools, waterside pavilions, water ports and rich local products form a beautiful picture of Dangkou's hydrophilic culture.
Literati and writers of all ages have many words of praise. Du Hanjie, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem on bamboo branches: "The southeast is a giant immersed goose lake, and it is a wonderful picture.
The distant reflection of the green hills outside the clouds makes the scenery look like nothing in the west of the city. " Qin Qi's poem said: "The beautiful scenery of Goose Lake is deep, so it is necessary to take a pot to pour it.
The inquiry is that the flavor of the water town is good, and whitebait is as thin as snow as a needle. "There are heads of chickens that can be harvested, and there are blue waves in the goose."
Yang Nanfeng said in a poem, "God knows when the early rice comes on stage, so it will clear up in light day. The old wine is deep in the vat and soft in the grass shop, and the Taiping Cup is shared with you. "
Wen Zhiming also has a poem saying: "Looking forward to the Goose Lake is just a hundred miles away, and I feel sorry for the guests at the end of the year." "Huannv beats He Tantou, and the passenger ship stops under the eaves".
small bridges, flowing water, residential buildings near the river, revetment and river ports, and ships come and go, forming a strong water town feature. According to the implementation plan of protective restoration in the core area of the ancient town, there are 24 bridges, including stone arch bridge, stone slab bridge and covered bridge, which are single-hole and porous and have different shapes.
These bridges are a vivid story of people who have accumulated wealth for the people, doing good deeds, benefiting mulberry and advocating filial piety. There are many kinds of dangkou boats, including rice steamed stuffed bun boat, steamboat, sailing boat, Wupeng boat (also known as Xianxian boat), small net boat, mud boat, small painting boat, grasshopper boat, bird boat, dragon boat, paddle boat, and "ocean" for fire fighting and water splashing.
Due to the vast water surface and abundant aquatic products, the goose gizzard was originally rich in water, fish and shrimp, especially the whitebait, which is "no less than ten thousand tigers at the age of one". In recent years, provincial-level green pollution-free aquatic products, such as herring, silver carp, bighead carp and soft-shelled turtle, are well-known both inside and outside the province. 5. What's interesting about Dangkou ancient town in Wuxi
Dangkou ancient town Dangkou ancient town has many cultural relics and historical sites, just like an open-air museum. The low-rise houses in the ancient town are lined up along the waterway, with the main colors of black, white and gray. The mud on the wall has fallen off, and the blue bricks are bare. From time to time, several withered grass vines are born in the cracks of the bricks. The upper part of the gables of some houses is incomplete, revealing an endless history. The most special thing about the old house is the depth. There is always a dark alley waiting for you to go. The small skylight overhead casts a beam of light, and the side door in front has light and shadow, giving people a faint feeling.
The old street in the ancient town is distributed in a cross with the Beicang River. At the other end of the old street, there are houses, the most famous of which is the "Cai Hongde Hall". It was built by Cai Hongsheng, a local-born Shanghai tycoon, in 1935. It is still the best house in town today. On the ground of the high-rise hall, the fine mosaic should come from overseas, and there are few gaps so far. Hua Hengfang's former residence is also on the street of Xindanglihua by the river, and it is still in the courtyard.
