The life of the most innocent, the best memories are in the birthplace of Hangzhou. It is like now Shenzhen home lying in the corner of the time locker, every day around, where the lock of my past, stored my memories. Every time I come back, will open that only I can open the lock, Hefang Street how wide, Su Causeway, White Causeway how long, Hangzhou's history has multiple. Here, I smelled those Hangzhou flavor, that smoke and rain in March of the birds and flowers, make me homesick
I miss, Su Causeway spring days of willow green and peach red, the legend of the white lady Xu Xian, bring the girl's me the most innocent love of longing; I miss the Spirit Peak, and the small friends with a flashlight to the unknown deep cave adventure experience; I miss the West Lake canoeing in the university when studying, the weekend with a good friend rented a boat canoeing! West Lake, lying on the board of the boat to read and chat, or let the boat drift, or rocking the boat in the six suspension bridge under the bridge hole shade, rest; I miss the Paul_Shan, that is recorded under my first love, in Paul_Tower next to the top of the mountain, I rode with him sitting on a stone bench shaking his feet, looking out at the West Lake in the spring smoke and fog, the mist of the happiness of the hazy; I can not forget the Geling Mountain on the Huanglong Cave, when I was a child in early spring in March, Mao Zhaolu Uncle took me to the mountains to identify, picking herbs, now deserted in the garden of the old family, there are still transplanted water hyacinth and motherwort
"Jiangnan memory, the most memory is Hangzhou. The most memorable is Hangzhou, where you can find cinnamon in the moonlight at the mountain temples and watch the tide on the pillows of the county pavilions. When will I visit again? Yes, when will you revisit the small courtyard of my childhood home in Hangzhou City? I remember when the yard was full of flowers and trees transplanted from all over the world, hours counted, there are fifty to sixty varieties. More than two hundred square meters of the courtyard, spring, summer, fall and winter seasons, flowers constantly, very intoxicating. Unforgettable is that there are two high yellow, red two-color two-petal waxberry tree, every year is her with the snow to promote spring, leading the group of flowers to meet the arrival of spring. Now, it's March again, the branches of the plum tree is already full of green. I like flowers, outside so many years never found such elegant plum varieties. The most joyful time at that time was the early summer after the spring rains, every day from the bathroom in the house connected to a long plastic pipe to the garden watering, sisters watering while playing
More miss in the Yue Tomb Yue Fei's tomb, my father for us to tell the story of the mother of Yue stabbed words, the Yue family loyalty to the country. Now, my father has been dead for twenty years, but Yue Temple remains the same. I can not imagine, Hangzhou, if there is no A.D. 1126 the Jingkang rebellion, the fate of the city will be how to continue, but now she has indeed become and Xi'an, Nanjing, comparable to the ancient capital, but this should not be her role, she has assumed too many historical misunderstanding. Jianyan first year, the fall of Jiankang, fleeing Zhao Gong came to Hangzhou for the first time, once he came, he did not want to go, because he was this "three autumn osmanthus, ten miles of lotus" fascinated, but the situation is forced to stay briefly, and then had to continue to flee south, but he can not forget Hangzhou's silhouette. So, since the Jianyan two years, the city actually became the heart of half of the Southern Song Dynasty, but in name, she can only be called "line in". This called, called nearly half a century, to the hands of Song Xiaozong, around 1175, perhaps it is really "warm wind smoked tourists drunk, straight Hangzhou as Bianzhou", the heart of the Northern Expedition of the king and the ministers, has long been the wind and snow eroded clean, Hangzhou as the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty's name, but also finally be corrected. After the Southern Song Dynasty capital of Hangzhou, the periphery of the Imperial City, Tianjie on both sides, those royal relatives to buy land to repair the house, will be a street decorated with flowers, which is where I now live in Hefang Street; Hefang Street's previous life, called "Royal Street", "the roots of the Imperial City".
Hangzhou, the capital city of the dynasty, but not see the gas of war, the northern desert sand, to this also turned into a gentle water. Marco Polo called it the world's most beautiful and noble "heavenly city", the adventurer from Italy, was stunned by the city, he left his travels, very much on the description of this prosperous city of heaven, the whole of the West on the desire of the East. The beauty of Hangzhou, mainly in the West Lake. Hangzhou city by the West Lake, five steps an ancient people, ten steps a story, good squeeze. Good in the West Lake, a pool of water, this pool of water to accommodate a thousand years of grudges, to accommodate the Buddha, Taoism, Confucianism, hidden, to accommodate the love of children, to accommodate the rise and fall of the sad and happy. The story of the beauty of the scholars, talent and beauty, for Hangzhou added a few points of tolerance and charm.
Last March in Hangzhou, revisited the Paul_Tower, sitting on the top of the hill that year, shaking his feet on a stone bench, looking at the Lone Mountain, "Crane Pavilion" northeast of Plum Hill, yellow, green, gold should be divided into seasons to take turns to fight the colorful plums, due to the early days of spring is warm, but also open at the same time, breathtakingly beautiful, that the dark scent of the entire West Lake. Think of the hermit Lin and Jing leisurely holding a cup, chanting "sparse shadows across the shallow water, dark fragrance floating moon dusk", happy to be plum as a wife, to the crane as a child. Is it really a recluse? Scholar ten years of study, really is to give up, escape? If there is today, why do you want to pursue it so hard on that day?
Remembering the day before in Dalian and take us on a trip with the driver of some small talk, can not help but smile. That day, I just sat in the driver's car, he heard that I was from Hangzhou, opened the box. He said he had just returned from Hangzhou, his daughter and his wife are obsessed with Hangzhou, his daughter graduated from the University of Beijing to find a job in Hangzhou, and live down. In the eyes of northern China Dalian is the most beautiful is the most suitable place to live, and open the tourism company his family has a large suite by the sea by the mountains, such conditions, his wife and son even ran to Hangzhou not to return to Dalian. He just came back from Hangzhou the day before yesterday to visit his family, asked him how he felt, he said aloud: "went to twenty days, but even a whole eighteen days of continuous rain, really can not bear."
I smiled and said, "You're so lucky, that's the most poetic and emotional season in Hangzhou."
That night, it is difficult to sleep, lying around the memory locker opened again. Hangzhou in March the smoke and rain like fog like a dream enveloped the whole room. In my dream memory, Hangzhou in the spring, from time to time there is a misty rain, to the surrounding scenery covered with a faint halo, that rain softens the scenery of Hangzhou, everything is like a young girl put on a thin veil, lakeside Su Causeway, White Causeway, accompanied by the hidden peach red smoke like willow, adding to the unique mood and flavor of Jiangnan, that the northern han said that eighteen days of rain is exactly the impression of the West Lake, which I have been dreaming of for a long time. I think, Hangzhou's charm of the rain and smoke has not eroded the rough northern man, about the time he recognized Hangzhou is not long.
Hangzhou is a poem, Hangzhou is a painting, was precipitated a thousand years of Chinese culture, infiltrated with Hangzhou's bones, moisturized Hangzhou's skin, the beauty of the flavor needs to be slowly to find out, carefully to experience
Hangzhou, is a seat to understand the city do not want to go.
