On August 20th, we got on the bus and rushed to Yangzhou to participate in the "Guangling Cup" China Yangzhou Youth International Guzheng Invitational Tournament.
Wow! What a beautiful hotel, resplendent and dazzling, with hundreds of participants in the hall. I can't wait to see the number of competitions, thinking that I must make good use of it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to win good results.
The next day we visited Jinyun Musical Instrument Factory. Understand how guzheng and guqin are made, and know that a finished guzheng takes more than one year and has more than 400 processes. I listened to Fu Mingjian's guzheng lecture at Yangzhou Art College, and enjoyed the performance of various musical instruments by Mr. Fang Jinlong, one of the four national music masters in China. He can play more than 65,438+000 kinds of musical instruments, and he is a representative of the contemporary five-string pipa, which has opened my eyes.
The most unforgettable thing about this trip to Yangzhou is that the young guzheng player Fan Li gave me a lesson that benefited me a lot. She has long black curly hair, a round face with bright eyes, a tall figure and a black dress, and she is very energetic. When I saw her, my heart was pounding. Because I was so nervous, I kept looking at the ground and didn't dare to look directly at her. Seeing my nervous appearance, she smiled and asked me softly, How old are you this year? What grade are you in? I suddenly put down my hanging heart and answered her one by one. Miss Li asked me to play a tune for her. After listening, she praised me first, then pointed out my finger problem, taught me by hand, got up and gave me a demonstration, and held my hand and said to me meaningfully, "Son, you play well, but when plucking, you should use your strength on your fingertips, and don't involve your body and arms too much, which will make your hands more tired." According to the teacher's request, I did several finger exercises and humbly asked the teacher, "Miss Li, am I playing my fingering correctly?" After reading it, the teacher praised me for learning quickly and seriously, saying that I was a little girl with an aura. Finally, she also put forward several problems that should be paid attention to when playing the piano, and encouraged me to study hard and be more promising in the future. Her words inspired me.
Through this competition, I not only entered the finals, but also saw the humble and low-key side of many musicians and heard the natural voice of Chinese folk music, which made me increase a lot of knowledge.
Early in the morning, we left Nanjing and headed for Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is a famous cultural city and tourist attraction at home and abroad. "One third of the world is moonlit, and two thirds are rogue Yangzhou" is a famous poem describing Yangzhou.
When we arrived in Yangzhou, we went straight to Ge Yuan, the oldest and best-preserved salt merchant garden here. It is the home of Huang Zhijun, general manager of Huaibei salt merchants, and was built in Qing Dynasty 18 18. Because the owner likes bamboo very much, and the bamboo leaves look like "A", so he named it the garden. The park is divided into three areas: residence, garden and bamboo garden. It is surrounded by green trees, pavilions, rockeries and winding paths. It is a classic representative of private gardens in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is also known as the four famous gardens in China together with the Summer Palace, chengde mountain resort and Humble Administrator's Garden.
The most plants in the garden are all kinds of bamboos. It is said that there are more than 60 kinds of bamboos here, such as tortoise shell bamboo, one-horned bamboo, Chixiaozhu bamboo and spotted bamboo ... many of which we don't know and can't name. But every plant is so elegant and beautiful. According to my mother, bamboo symbolizes integrity, modesty and integrity, so many scholars in history like bamboo. Poems related to bamboo include Su Dongpo's "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo"; Zheng Banqiao's "One Branch, One Leaf, Total Concern"; Zhang Jiuling's "respect each other, the world knows each other with an open mind" and so on.
After visiting a garden, my stomach growled with hunger, so we went to the famous Ye Chun Teahouse and tasted authentic Yangzhou snacks. Sanding steamed buns, layered oil cakes, steamed dumplings with crab roe, dried shredded crab roe, bamboo shoot pot stickers, shredded chicken paper ... There are so many snacks on the menu that people are salivating just by looking at the names. The phrase "eat in Yangzhou" really lives up to its reputation.
I think the latest novelty is crab yellow soup packets. There is a big flat steamed stuffed bun on the plate. The waiter taught me to poke it with a straw, gently suck the gravy inside, and then eat the whole steamed stuffed bun. It tastes good. After eating a few snacks, my stomach will be full, and many Yangzhou specialties are too late to taste.
Goodbye, Yangzhou, the "richest city in the world", I will come again next time, and I will try scallion cakes, red bean dumplings and raw lotus root clips. ...
On the weekend of our trip to Yangzhou, my family went to go on road trip, Yangzhou. I am very excited. My father said: Now is the best time to visit Yangzhou. Why? Because the ancients said,' Fireworks will descend in Yangzhou in March', and now it happens to be the third month of the lunar calendar.
During my few days in Yangzhou, I was most interested in a garden. Geyuan, one of the four famous gardens in China, was purchased and rebuilt by Huang Zhijun, a salt merchant in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. Because Geyuan loves bamboo, the whole garden is made of bamboo and green bamboo leaves. At the end of the branches and leaves, every three bamboo leaves grow together, just like countless words hanging on the branches, hence the name Ge Yuan.
When you enter the garden, the first thing you see is large tracts of bamboo. The tour guide said: There are more than 60 kinds of bamboos in a garden, and there are more than 20,000 bamboos, including Phyllostachys pubescens, giant bamboos and Phyllostachys pubescens. Yellow-skinned bamboo looks like withered bamboo from a distance. In fact, these bamboos have not withered, but the skin of the bamboo pole is yellow and every leaf is green. The shape and grain of tortoise shell bamboo pole are like tortoise shell, so it is called tortoise shell bamboo; How did Xiao Shunzhu get her name? Xiaoshun bamboo is an old bamboo, and several other new bamboos will surround the old bamboo with their branches and leaves, just as children are protecting grandpa …
Then we came to the edge of the rockery. The tour guide said: The rockeries and hillsides here are all made of various stones, including Taihu Stone, Yellowstone and Snowflake Stone. Judging from the shape of the stone, some are like snake kings, some are like roosters, some are like goats, and some are like monkeys. These grotesque stones are shipped from all over the country and are very precious. I saw another house on the hillside. I didn't know this was their study until I asked. The road leading to the study is very difficult and rugged, which reminds me of the saying that there is a diligent road in Shushan. The road to study is very hard, and only hard work can climb the top of the mountain.
Finally, we visited the main hall of a garden. There is a plaque on the wall of the main hall, which reads "Diligence and erudition". The horizontal direction is not diligent enough, and the knowledge is a little lacking, so I said, "These two words are wrong." . At this moment, the tour guide said, You are so clever, my child. These two words are indeed misspelled, which is the genius of Mr. Huang Lao. He is telling his descendants that if they are not so diligent, they will not be so knowledgeable. After listening, I suddenly realized that Mr. Huang Lao not only told his descendants, but also told me a simple and profound truth.
I had a good time during this trip to Yangzhou. I not only saw the beautiful spring scenery, but also learned more knowledge and more truth.
Composition 4 trip to Yangzhou-eating lobster
This morning, we rushed to Jiangdu District of Yangzhou City in the rain. I heard that Shaobolong shrimp there is very famous, so I want to go there and have a taste.
After more than three hours' drive, I finally arrived in Shaobo Town, Jiangdu. There is a food street with posters of various lobsters on the signboard. We chose a lobster shop. When I got off the bus, the pungent smell of lobster came to my nose. My mouth was dripping on the ground. After a while, a basin of clear water lobster came up. Oh, it turns out that Qingshui lobster is a lobster without Chili. People there say that the lobster with clear water has been baked for nearly an hour, so it tastes very delicious. I ate a few, and as expected, they were delicious. How can I let go of such delicious lobster? In a short time, lobster shells have piled up on the dining table. Then a pot of braised lobster was served, which was much more spicy than clear water lobster. But I usually like spicy food. Willy-nilly, I grabbed the lobster and started peeling it. After a while, the lobster shell filled a trash can, and my face and mouth were red. It's delicious and well deserved. I'll try again when I have a chance.
——————— West Lake
In the afternoon, we rushed to Yangzhou West Lake in the rain.
This is really a beautiful landscape painting; The lake is sparkling. There are several cruise ships coming and going from time to time on the lake. Several carp in the lake are playing in the water and splashing. "Made" a halo. Peach trees are planted by the lake, and there is a willow tree for every three trees, which is exactly what Shang Huashi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, described as "colorful" in spring.
We came to Bridge 24. It is 24 meters high and has 24 steps and 24 columns. The column is white, and there is a poem to prove it: "On the moonlit night of the Twenty-four Bridges, where can jade people teach to play the flute?"
We also saw the "Wu Ting Bridge". It has fifteen bridge opening. It is said that when a full moon hangs in the sky on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the opening of each bridge can reflect a full moon. This is the "Sixteen Moon Circles on the 15th" described in a poem.
There are many scenic spots in West Lake, such as Baita, Qingyun, Wangchunlou and daming temple. There are pavilions in the water, ancient bridges on the water, fish in the water and flowers on the shore. This is a long scroll of Chinese painting.
Yangzhou with beautiful scenery is really unforgettable!
Our family went to Yangzhou today and went to a garden there.
In the garden, bamboo is the soul of the garden. Visiting the garden is to see bamboo. Because the owner Huang Zhijun likes bamboo, there are thousands of bamboo poles in the garden, and even the name of the garden is related to bamboo. Because bamboo leaves overlap like the word "Ge", the name "Ge Yuan" has been handed down. The owner of the garden, Huang Zhijun, was a big salt merchant there at that time, with more than one million properties. Therefore, it cost 6 million silver to build this private residential garden, which is called "the four famous gardens in China" together with the Summer Palace, the Summer Resort and the Humble Administrator's Garden.
We entered from the north gate of Geyuan, and we faced 10,000 bamboo poles, just like a green array of thousands of troops. Looking around, bamboo is everywhere. It's like being in the world of bamboo, and there are lush and full of green scenes everywhere. At this time, I seem to be like a bamboo pole, integrated with this vast green.
Walking south along the path, I came to the owner's residential area, where the interior of the house was made of expensive golden nanmu. A chair alone is worth buying a car. The houses here are also arranged in a very orderly way, with lattice fans, short windows, patio bluestone slabs and square floor tiles, which are beautifully decorated.
Strolling around Yuedong Gate, there are more than a dozen century-old osmanthus trees beside the cobblestone bend. In a small garden on the left, there are many Taihu stones. They look like cute little animals. Therefore, it is called "Spring Picture of the Zodiac". Look at that little snake with its head slightly raised, that calm horse, and that dragon without its tail ... I can't help admiring it. The doors and windows of the "viewing hall" in the garden are inlaid with a lot of glass. Before 130, there was no glass in China, so Huang Zhijun imported the same amount of glass and the same amount of gold from France, and Huang Zhijun consumed only 9 Niu Yi Mao.
In Ge Yuan, there were many high-tech and handcrafted products at that time. Together with that ancient monument, it can be beautifully preserved until now, and it embodies the wisdom and sweat of ancient people.
