The predecessors go out, either riding livestock, or "eleven road", up to a sailboat, and now we are either cars or trains, really can not come to a "fly"; the predecessors walked on the dirt road, mud road, sandy road, and now the We are walking on concrete roads, asphalt roads, railroads; previous generations need to travel "guide", but now we have "high-tech" ......
Last Monday, riding a bicycle to go The first time I saw this, it was a 60-kilometer round trip to Chenjiagou (the birthplace of Chen-style taijiquan). I've ridden a bicycle before, but not more than 30 kilometers in a row, and 60 kilometers is the longest distance I've ridden until now. The first time I saw the car, I was so tired and sweaty, but more than that, I was so happy to be there.
We passed through Wenxian County, where the yam is produced. I realized that Wenxian is just like any other county in China, with the same high-rise buildings, the same roads, and the same layout. I'm not sure if I can find any interesting places in Wenxian, but I'm not sure if I can find any interesting places in Wenxian. Suddenly, I remembered that the combination lock of my bicycle would not open, so I was ready to find a place to unlock it. In the "Baidu map" input lock, "map" took me to the small Cai lock store. Locksmith said, this lock to open a 30 dollars, you might as well buy a new one, a new one is 40 dollars. Open the lock is not, I rode the bike again on the road, just tired, want to find a place to rest. I started searching in Maps again, searched for nearby parks, and found that Zixia Park is quite close to me, so let's go to Zixia Park.
Zixia Park is also quite large, there is a rockery, an artificial lake, a lawn, and a lot of trees. There are a lot of people sitting under the trees to rest, there is a small square in the middle of the park square dance, there are gathered together on the lawn to play mahjong, there are in the grove of love. I rested a little in the park and set off on a new journey.
Chenjiagou is about 6 kilometers away from Wenxian County, and it didn't take long to get there by bicycle. The first thing that caught my eye was the various buildings and antique structures that contrasted with the surrounding rural cottages. Walking forward for some distance, I saw an archway, which is written in ancient style "Chenjiagou" three big words, which means Chenjiagou, really arrived.
Chenjiagou scenic area, come to play a lot of tourists, and occasionally meet a foreigner or two. Just inside the door and turn right is the Taiji School, which has many male and female students between the ages of 12-20 years old practicing taijiquan. Next door is the Taijiquan Ancestral Shrine, a place that charges an entrance fee of 40 yuan per person. Further on is Donggou, the gate of which is closed to tourists. Out to the south is a long stone road. Near the archway on both sides of the road there are many kinds of snack sellers, speakers ringing all kinds of yelling, so lively. Along the stone road to the south, there are several taiji courtyards, which seem to be places for taiji enthusiasts to practice taiji. On both sides of the road, there are many stores selling various things related to Tai Chi. There is a steady stream of walkers in Tai Chi uniforms on the road.
After cycling around the scenic spot, my stomach started to ring. At home, I ate lunch and set off, have been drinking water without eating, this time I feel a little dehydrated, it is time to replenish some energy. At the same time, I saw that the sun was going to set soon, so it was time to find a place to do the "Diggle" service. I rode my bike to the south side of the highway and laid out my clothes on the lawn by the roadside to worship. I washed my clothes in the bathroom when I was in Winnipeg. During the service, I noticed many pedestrians wearing Tai Chi clothes looking at me. Perhaps they were thinking to themselves, "What kind of kung fu is this young man practicing? Why is it not quite the same as our Tai Chi? After the service, I sat down on the lawn and took out the cookies I bought on the way and ate them with the half bottle of green tea that I hadn't finished. At that time, I felt that cookie was the most delicious food in the world.
The sun was going down and the sky was getting dark. Facing the last sunset, I rode my bike on the way home. After a while, the sky is getting darker and darker. I was along the provincial highway, the whole 30 kilometers, riding almost two hours. Along the way, the vehicles were lighting up the road for me, and I felt that all this was arranged by Allah for me. If not along the provincial highway, no lights shine, I really do not know how to ride this way back. Because there was no moon that night, the sky was unusually dark, and I was afraid it would be very difficult to walk by the flash of my cell phone. I was able to get to my home safely.Praise be to Allah, through this ride, I realized that the "Luha" of my youth is still there; Allah's grace is with me all the time; and we are living in a great era, an era full of grace. It is no wonder that the Arabic proverb says: "Traveling is revelation".
