Originally, in this Golden Week did not intend to return home. But on the morning of May 1, my "biological clock" rang before 6:00 a.m. My first thought after getting up was: "I'm going back to my hometown to take a look at it today! So quickly packed up two pieces of replacement clothes, to the wife and children are still asleep in a note left, in front of the door on the bus to Guangzhou East Railway Station to hurry. I just remembered that last night I had a dream, in the dream I saw my old grandmother and my parents, and the little yellow dog in front of the old house. I remember the last time I went back to my hometown was on last year's National Day, but then I was just passing through on a business trip and stayed at home for only half an hour.
Perhaps there were too many people going home on May 1, and I didn't get a train ticket after waiting in line for half an hour at the East Railway Station! Luckily, it was still early, so I hurriedly called a cab to the Tianhe Passenger Terminal, and finally paid 122 yuan to buy a ticket for the last sleeper train from Guangzhou to Wuhua at 8:30. This is the first time I've ever taken a bus at the Tianhe Passenger Terminal.
The sleeper bus was actually a slow bus, stopping and going out of the station, stopping again at Longdong, getting on a couple of people, and paying 130 yuan each to the driver. To Zengcheng and on the drag children with a few people, too expensive to bargain, the driver said: "May Day is 130, the spear has to speak!" All the way to the driver total **** charged 1300 yuan. In fact, the long-distance shuttle bus is usually nothing to earn, mainly by a few golden weeks to earn some money. The driver is also very hard, fishing a little outside the block is normal.
Over the Zengcheng, in the three rivers on the Guangzhou-Huizhou highway, thought all the way to sleep a peaceful sleep. I didn't expect to encounter a big traffic jam in Huizhou Xiaojinkou, mainly from Shenzhen, Guangzhou driving back too many people. On the Huizhou River highway must pass through the place - small jinkou toll station has been lined up into a long line, coupled with the toll station behind the tunnel is under repair, the traffic like ants crawling. Very annoying. In Xiaojinkou total **** stuffed 2 hours of traffic.
After Heyuan all the way smooth, and then again on the river Mei highway in Huacheng exit. Back to Wuhua (water village) is already 4:00 pm.

That night and in the county work of the younger brother, sister-in-law and younger sister, brother-in-law and return to Zigao home, one by one to see the old grandmother and parents, and the second uncle, aunt (the old grandmother and the second uncle **** a family over), aunt and uncle, and cousin aunt, and then the family happily ate a reunion dinner. Father retired with high blood pressure and a slight cerebral thrombosis, after taking the medicine of a folk doctor in Xingning, the condition has been greatly improved, but he still struggles to speak.
The family's children are especially many, in addition to the little brother, little sister's two children, big brother and sister-in-law in Dongguan Qiaotou business, their second daughter (called second sister) to stay at home to read the fifth grade (there are three children in Dongguan to study), the second sister, people grow high, only 13 years old, there is 1 meter 60. Big sister and brother-in-law in Shenzhen Henggang business, their four children in Wuhua County, a senior high school, three at home to study (primary and junior high school). During the May 1 vacation, the house was a paradise for the kids and they had a great time in the countryside. Uncle Sam's family (he has three children two boys who have grown up and a girl who sells cell phones) also has a store in Shenzhen and has bought a house in Buji. I haven't seen him for two years.

May 2 at noon, by the People's Bank of Wuhua County, an old friend Wang Wendong (Ximi) arranged a meal, and Wuhua's literary and artistic circles **** into lunch. There were veteran writers Yang Xinqiao (a member of the Provincial Writers' Association), Yang Qingchun (a member of the Municipal Writers' Association), Miao Deliang, full-time vice-chairman of the County Federation of Literary Associations and editor-in-chief of Qinjiang Literature and Art, Wan Ziming, a press officer of the County Party Committee, and Gu Congxin, a cadre of the County Culture Center. Lan Ling, who was a teacher in Huacheng, was unable to come because she had to take her students to a town for a literary performance. Yang Xinqiao and Huanxin Master is an old friend, he used my cell phone and Huanxin Master talked for a long time, I felt the deep friendship they have formed over the decades and the ties between the literati. During the meeting, we enjoy raising a glass, talk about the pulse of the landscape of Meizhou, citing the social ills, denounced the abomination of corrupt officials, lamenting the helplessness of the world, a bottle of Changle burned dry to the bottom of the sky.
In the hazy drunkenness, I feel that nostalgia is a bottle of pure wine - the longer it is stored, the stronger its flavor, just like the 20-year old cellar of Changle burns, which makes people savor it.
May 2, 4 p.m., I took the Guangzhou-Huangpu shuttle bus through Zijin, Huizhou, Dongguan back to Xintang. It was late at night when I arrived home.

<May Day Essay>
<May Day Essay>
Today is 5.1 Labor Day.
It's 5am and I couldn't sleep at 4am.
The internet is really down this time, the bottom right corner of the computer always says that the IP address is in conflict with Windows, so I can't get online. I called the server room yesterday at almost midnight, and the duty officer said he'd come and have a look after 8am.
It's just a matter of combining word games on a notepad.
Pulling back the blue curtains and pushing open the window screen, I poked my body out, and a ray of fresh air penetrated my heart.
Already gray sky began to show bright colors, see the distant fields vaguely fog capped with brown earth, you can hear the sparrows are very happy chirping.
Brewing a cup of powdered milk with Cola Cao for myself, the light flavor slipped over my tongue and flowed between my teeth, filling my heart with warmth.
It has begun to get used to the city, began to like this place of work.
We have been wandering around the city for 10 years, and in the past, we have always come and gone in a slapdash manner.
Now that I have my own office, I actually felt at home the moment I got the key.
The room is divided into two with a fuchsia colored velvet, which is a very good golden combination for resting inside and working outside.
Some days ago, I bought two sets of varieties of very Angus planted bamboo, a group of dark green and a group of light green.
Asked the bamboo vendor in Henan, he said that only watering rice water placed in shallow water can be, about can survive for about 2 years.
The bamboo was placed on my desk. It's been a long time since I've been in a room full of orchids, so I can feel its presence by accident and by accident.
Because I couldn't find any rice water, I sprinkled millet directly into the dish, and when I changed the water just now, I realized that the tips of its leaves were yellowing, and I was surprised to feel a slight panic in my heart. Oh my god, how did I destroy it like this? Alas, it's about as little sunlight as I do.
Rush to transfer the bamboo to the window sill, hoping that a moment of sunlight can give this soft green photosynthesis, can continue its already very short life.
Always like to pull the gold velvet curtains very tight, like to immerse in their own creation of the orchid color atmosphere.
You can rest very quietly;
You can listen to music very peacefully;
You can read books and surf the Internet very peacefully;
You can wander around very peacefully.
Deliberately keeping a distance from the people around me, I always lock the door behind me, and hardly anyone knocks on my office door.
If you have to work, you have to call and make an appointment or tell me about it, otherwise I will never see you.
Everyone has their own way of life that they are accustomed to, and they don't like to be disrupted by anyone.
There have been two occasions when I was not aware of a group meeting until ten minutes before it was due to take place, and I was left scrambling to get up and put on my makeup.
I seriously informed the chief of staff that unless it was an emergency meeting, the other must be informed in advance, and then there has never been such a rush.
I also almost do not disturb the normal trajectory of anyone, want to go out to socialize, usually send a short message to the phone to make an appointment, the other side of the interest will call back. I don't like the harsh landline phone installed by the group, and the occasional ringtone will make me feel very abrupt and uncomfortable, but I have to accept its existence helplessly.
They have to adapt to the society, the circle, the environment, the way of life, this is the real life of me.
The day has dawned, the sparrow still do not know tired of chirping, huh, perhaps there is a spiritual message in my greetings.
Looking outdoors again, the morning sun has appeared but not yet seen the sun.
Not far from the green tree green green farmland makes the mood soothing up, many days once dried up fragile heart is also full of this purpose of the green filled also began to soften up.
Perhaps today is the zero start of the music of life.
Oh. A holiday to be thankful for.
Suddenly I feel that life is still good, suddenly I want to thank my parents for giving me a colorful life.
Love you, Dad, Mom!
Suddenly I feel that life is still hopeful, and suddenly I want to be thankful for all the people who have helped me either in reality or online.
Love to all who cherish life!
May Day Travelogue
May Day Travelogue
Previously
May Day holiday eve, several days and far away from Shenzhen Fang and is the phone and QQ, uninterrupted contact, and sometimes do not agree, and even argued, but as the time approaches, the ticket, the itinerary was finally finalized, and she took her daughter Li Ge from Shenzhen, in the afternoon of 4:00 p.m. on the 1st to come to Zhengzhou and I will meet with you. More than one o'clock to Zhengzhou to meet with me. In my home, we packed our bags, ready to go, the destination of this trip to Shandong, the planned route from Zhengzhou first to Tai'an, climb Mount Tai to see the sunrise, on the Qufu to see the Confucius Temple, and finally the spring city of Jinan, to see the three major attractions there: Baotu, Daming Lake and the Thousand Buddha Mountain. We each carry our daughters, shoulder and hand luggage, with yearning, at 12 o'clock in the night, embarked on a trip ------
On the train
My two daughters and I Fang boarded the train, because there is no seat, prepared in advance of the four small stools, on the car after the people and did not imagine that crowded, small stools are still put under the aisle, from time to time, someone passes by, inevitably stand up and sit down, and it is very annoying. I'm so tired of sitting down. Car through Xinxiang, finally have a seat, we are very pleased, after all, only after more than 1 hour to sit on. At that time is more than 3:00 in the morning, Ah Fang and Li Ge would have been long distance labor, Li Ge some coughing, but she and Niu Niu reunion after two years, excited, in the car chirping, and singing, and storytelling, leading to the surrounding people from time to time to lose laughter. Ah Fong is a little tired, but a fat police officer, looks like 4.50, but a small horn in the carriage shouted up: sleeping wake up, careful you fall asleep, the gold bar is gone, but also travel what it? Then he saw napping people shouting at people, a car people are afraid to sleep, this responsible police have come over three times, thanks to him, a sleepless night. Neighboring a northeastern Jilin guy, dark, looks like more than 30 years of age, interested in talking to us, he said he is a driver, driving through a lot of places, the car in Henan, never dare to stop at will, too unsafe. To Shandong, you can always sleep on the side, so most of the highway signs in Shandong is a safe road, while Henan is to create a safe road. We are a little embarrassed, as a Henan people, out of the province to hear more of these words. We can do, just do their best, do not give people a bad impression only. Asked about the guy, turned out to be 25 years old. The driver has been traveling all day long, and some of them look old.
The train pulled into the Shandong border, the day has brightened up, is a clear day, the sun spread in the distant mountains, those mountains are not too high, the head of the mountains into a curved, like the shape of the steamed bread, the exposed white rocks and a piece of deep green vegetation intertwined with each other, along the line of crops are mostly wheat, wheat has been to the grouting season, a piece of green carpet like a flat. The people who saw it were not many. House and Henan's not very different, after all, the border, nothing strange. Sitting for more than 7 hours, finally got off. When leaving the station, there are some small interlude, there are a lot of uniformed people urging people to get off from one side of the walk, and pulled up a cordon. In the square in front of the station, some people who were obviously organized were waiting quietly. It seemed to be greeting some character, or maybe sending someone off. Curious, the child ran up to ask the uniform: What is this ah. The uniform smiled but did not answer. Later, someone said it was to welcome foreign guests. Thinking about discouragement. The country has always been so, the foreign mentality, hard to get out of the inequality of these things to make people laugh.
In Tai'an
Walking through the streets of Tai'an with luggage, the streets are bustling with people, obviously a lot of tourists, backpacks, and some are carrying walking sticks in their hands, which is good to know that they are ready for hiking. Our first priority is to find a place to stay. First to Tai'an City Party School Guest House, ask the price of a standard room, at least 200, a woman like the person in charge said: Yesterday, sold to 300 it, a national leader to Taishan wish, yesterday, closed the mountain, hotels are full. We hurriedly asked: So why is the station martial law today? She said: may be he went it. This only released our doubts. Afang and the two children look at the room, the results of one by one Nu a mouth down, think is not very satisfied. In the look at it, I and Avon looked at each other, and walked out again.
Walked a few places, the price is obviously not cheap. Fang let me look at the luggage, she went out to look for, finally we selected a named "good wife hotel" to stay. 220 a day. It was 220 a day, which is really expensive.
Night climbing Mount Tai
On the train, we began to inquire about the mountaineering matters, a student-like young man looked us up and down, said: like you a few people, with children, at least 10 more hours to reach the top. It will take at least 10 hours to get to the top. We will start at around 3pm. Ah Fong and I looked at each other in disbelief, no, didn't they say it would take three or four hours? The night before we were at home, a friend also said that she climbed Mount Tai, and at 160 pounds or so, she went up in more than three hours, are we not as good as her?
After a short break in the hotel and a simple wash, we went outside to eat to replenish energy, the children were excited to eat but not good, only to the stalls to buy some scattered trinkets, Nyonya went out in a hurry, did not change shoes, and then after the meal to the Jordan store to give them both a pair of sneakers, white plastic bottom, grass-green uppers. Niu Niu wearing a pair of white sweatpants, each side of an orange edge trim, the upper body is a pullover with a hooded orange casual shirt. Li Ge was a stylish set of casual clothes, white on top and black on the bottom. Standing together, this pair of kids made a bright sight. In the street to inquire about the best time to go up the mountain, the crowd said differently, we discussed, decided to compromise, 10:30 out. But back to the hotel, the two children do not sleep, tossing and turning in bed. They didn't even close their eyes. We simply got up, cleaned up our gear, and brought enough water and cold weather clothing. The first time I've ever seen this, I've seen it in my life.
Going out to take a taxi, car shuttle in Tai'an city, along the street neon lights flashing, roadside three or two are hiking people. Look at the attire students mostly, youth, vitality, very simple backpack, companionship. Soon came to the red door, from here, we took the first step. The night of Mount Tai stands in front of the dark, the two children see others hand crutches, without saying to buy, will bargain, 2 yuan a, the last five dollars to buy three. Afang young, refused to use, I and the child a one. The red door is lined with vendors, a variety of souvenirs attracted children keep running over, cost a lot of words. The terrain is gradually high, are stone steps, more than two meters wide. When the terrain is slow, the road is flat, and then there are a few stone steps. The pavement was made up of squared off pieces of stone. It was unruly, uneven and a little hard on the feet. But there were two parallel paths made of uniform stones on the left and right side of the pavement, which were relatively much smoother. We followed this path upwards. There were a lot of hikers, like a fair. There is no street light, mountaineers bring their own flashlights, far away, stars, plus shouting back and forth, magnificent. One side of the mountain road is the mountain, dark pine trees scattered, one side of the cliff, the cliff must not be steep, but also some slope. All the way up, you will see some temples, burning incense to Buddha, tourists figure a lucky. I in those mud tires in front of a unity of hands to respond to the scene. Daughter but a serious Buddha will worship, kowtowed a lot of head. Climbed nearly two hours, looking far away, high with lights flashing, fellow travelers said, should be in the Heavenly Gates. The first time I saw the door, it was halfway through the trip.
In close proximity to the gate of heaven, look up, like the ancient customs, tall walls, palace-like buildings, a lamp hanging high on a pole, only not wearing armor guarding the soldiers, giving endless reverie, to be mounted on the steps, wow, so lively ah, as if in a village or town, and is the set of the town, the set is day and night, in the dead of night is still very noisy. Everyone is crowded, and it takes half a day to choose a good angle to take a picture. Walked here, we discussed or rest a good, because the next famous eighteen plate in waiting for us, but also the time is still early, too early to climb to the top, the mountain wind is harsh, before the sunrise will certainly suffer. Children's physical strength out of people's expectations, Niu Niu always walk in the forefront, no fatigue feeling, all the way to keep calling out to her, so that she does not go too far. To this place, the two are excited to see the souvenirs, kowtow, but also make fun of burning incense. Turning eyes and hungry, hiking was a sweat, this time a gust of wind, it is a little hard to endure the cold. Panicked to find clothes to add to the body. This cold and hungry, or eat something. Mountain prices are naturally different from below, a bowl of noodles is six dollars. I only asked for one for each of my children. Looked at the clothes that carry around seems to be enough, next to everywhere is the rental of military coats, thinking about the horrifying eighteen plate, coat is temporarily can not be rented. Suddenly found a sale of fleece, after some bargaining, bought two orange, wearing a wide body, like a robe.
After this respite, we plucked up our courage and continued on our way. In the middle of the Tianmen looking up at Mount Tai, in the blue night sky, still abrupt and steep, near the top, a few lights and stars like beans together, there, that is where the South Tianmen. In front of the children, do not dare to show fear. But the heart has been guilty of muttering, can I really go up? Can I go up and see the sunrise? Will I be able to see it in time? Will I be able to come down after going up? These questions only existed in my heart and I didn't dare to say them out loud. As the crowd advances, the terrain is obviously higher, the platform is less and less, the steps appear to be a lot of steep, encountered a steep and long section of the people around me, ask, is it eighteen plate? Answer: No. So difficult to walk is not ah. Sweat on the body for a while will soak through the clothes, nothing to think about, just a low head on a step, feel sleepy support can not stand, stand on one side to stop, both sides are full of tourists, some couples embracing each other like sleeping generally, I think they went through the mountaineering together, each other's friendship should be a little deeper it. I don't know how long this climb, I can't even take care of the child, but fortunately she doesn't need me to manage. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to take care of my kids, but I don't need to worry about her at all. When I'm tired, all the pores on my body seem to open up and I can't even take a step, but I can walk again after I've stood there for a while and I feel that the will of the human beings is really incredible.
Here is an overview of the journey. It is said that Mount Tai has three "eighteen". Since the opening of the mountain to the Dragon Gate for the "slow eighteen", and then to the ascension of the immortal Square for the "not slow and eighteen", but also to the South Heavenly Gate for the "tight eighteen", *** counting more than 1,630 steps. Eighteen plate rock layer steep, tilt angle of 70 to 80 degrees, in less than 1 kilometer distance rises 400 meters. Is one of the most dangerous section of Taishan mountaineering disk road, one of the main signs for Taishan.
All the way, did not pay attention to the sign, and so after the Dragon Gate, only to know "slow eighteen" has been left behind, the time is already more than 3:00 in the morning, is really tired, but also worried about climbing tight eighteen when the physical strength is not enough, decided to sit down and rest, met the rent coat, rented three, a 20 yuan. We sat on the steps and hugged each other, Li Ge's cough has been non-stop, Fang worried about not know what to do. Nyonya fell asleep quickly in my arms, and I drifted off to sleep, barely dreaming. When I opened my eyes at four o'clock, the sky was already a little light, and the flashlight could be put away. But Nyonya was still awake, muttering: I want to sleep, I want to sleep. In spite of this, the foot is not stop, I coaxed her all the way: you see, after the ascension of the Immortal Square ah, is the immortal ah. She exasperatedly shouted: I do not want to be an immortal, I want to sleep. I didn't even have the strength to laugh. This is the hardest part of the climb. They are shaking like, high South Heavenly Gate has seen, but the steepest tight eighteen is here, both sides of the iron handrail, I lean on one hand on the staff, one hand grasping the railing, if the hand does not help, I think the next person gently touched me will fall, I keep imagining that I might roll down the steps so, hand will grasp tightly. In this way, we finally climbed the South Heavenly Gate. My ten-year-old daughter was the first in our party to step on. Looking back at the eighteen plates, wondering how I got on it? There is a poem to prove it:
Pulling up the ground five thousand feet, rushing to the sky eighteen plate.
The paths are poorly defined, and the sky is open to view.
It is as heavy as a painting, and as steep as a pole.
This is the first time in my life that I've been able to enjoy the world, but this day my bones are still cold.
This is a poem written by Qi Cheng Pu of the Ming Dynasty, which is dedicated to the Eighteen Plates.
Top of Mount Tai
South Heavenly Gate, looking up from below, like a palace in the sky. Climbing up and looking back, the disk road is steep, the peaks on both sides of the confrontation. The mountain road twists and turns without end, winding to the extreme distance, not only amazed that they have traveled so far overnight. Admire yourself. Up to the top, here again, there is something else. The repair of several lofty hall I do not know what is enshrined in the gods, did not go to look carefully, only hand rushed to the sitting of the golden body bowed his head, in the heart of the meditation: bless the whole family peace and happiness. Would have liked to wish for something, but also want to wish for a wish to have to return the wish, they can have confidence in another time? The same old as that comrade, but also to come back. People come and go how free, you can seal the mountain alone, where they have this kind of prestige? So raw to the mouth words swallowed back.
Looking at the sky gradually whitening, a few people are a little anxious to wear a good coat and walk, the road at the top of the mountain is very flat, and occasionally some steps for people who have walked through the eighteen plates can be completely ignored, would have been very tired, ready to look for a nearby open place to wait for the sunrise, but Fang asked the bystander back, and then said, but also to go up the street, past the sky, the Bixia Ancestral Temple is only good. So fight a little bit of spirit and then go, the two children at this time exhausted, very reluctant. Even coaxed and persuaded to push up. However, at this time, I suddenly anxious. Not caring about a lot, urged Ah Fang to take care of the children, a person left to find a bathroom. When I returned to the road, looked around, but there is no shadow of them, along the crowd forward, all the way shouting their three names, no one responded. After the Bixia Ancestral Temple, there are people wearing security clothes blowing a whistle to guide the way: this way. This is the path to the left to ascend to the top of the Jade Emperor. I looked to the right, the rocky cliffs, many people struggling to climb. Where could they be? I called Fang's cell phone, but it was off. There were military coats all over the place, and they were just drowning in them. I thought maybe they'd gone up on command. So while thinking while walking, and then see the sky has appeared a touch of scarlet, heart anxious, can not help but speed up the pace. Finally came to the edge of the cliff.
The edge of the cliff is densely filled with people waiting. Standing behind the people, looking through the gap, fortunately, the sky is still gray and green, thick clouds such as heavy hanging scroll around the sky, light green sky pure as if filtered. The mountains are far away and solemn. May sunrise time is said to be a little more than 5 o'clock, but stood for a long time, freezing and shivering, still no sunrise shadow. Some people in front of me left in disappointment, and gradually I leaned forward. Just when everyone is guessing, a woman around me called up: out, out. I hurriedly look for, sure enough, from the heavy hanging scroll reveals a red arc, gradually more and more exposed, as drowned duck egg yolks like the sun slowly rose, but its upper end suddenly flat, the original band of clouds cover it, it still rises, through the clouds, gradually revealing all. People got excited and took pictures. A very classic gesture is to stretch out a hand with the tiger's mouth upward, and when taking the picture, note that the sun is between the tiger's mouth, implying: hold up the meaning of the sun. At this point, finally and Ah Fang contact, she originally took two children went to the Bixia Temple to the right on top of the pile of strange stones. When the sun is fully up, dare not look directly, I browse up in the neighborhood.
Here is the very top of Mount Tai ---- Jade Emperor Top. Mount Tai as the first of the five mountains, not only because she is located in the east, but also because from the Qin Shi Huang, this is the place where all the emperors and kings have been sealed Zen, and the Zen ceremony was held at the Jade Emperor Top. Along the disk road upward, the big characters inscribed with "the five mountains are the only one", "the eyes of the long sky", "the green clouds can be connected", "the peak of the extreme ", "Optimistic sun" are listed on both sides, tourists have stopped to take pictures. The gate is inscribed "Royal Decree to repair the Jade Emperor Top". Into the courtyard, the stone fence surrounded by a white jade stone, on the book: the top of Mount Tai 1545 meters. In front of the main hall is enshrined in the Jade Emperor bronze statue. It was cast in the Ming Dynasty. I still skimmed, did not scrutinize his demeanor. Outside the gate, there is a monument without words, which is rumored to have been erected for Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Zen or Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Stopping here and looking at the mountains from afar, I truly realized the meaning of "a glimpse of the mountains". The poem, which is full of pride, is carved on a rock not far from here.
I think I need to focus on the Taishan stone carvings. As a natural landscape and humanistic landscape into one of Taishan, its stone carvings is undoubtedly a colorful one, worthy of a big book. Whether from the historical point of view, or from the religious point of view, or from the point of view of the text, these stone carvings can not be ignored everywhere. Or to quote a paragraph of the former, one is lazy, the other is limited ability.
Taishan stone carvings from far-flowing first, since the Qin and Han Dynasty to the founding of the country, up and down more than 2,000 years, all generations have Zhenjie stone carvings. Taishan stone carvings existing more than 1800, including more than 800 tablets, cliff carvings more than 1,000, roughly distributed as the Dai Temple 157, Dai Lu 215, Dengshan East Road 576, Dai top 258, Dai West more than 80, Dai Yin 44, Lingyan Temple more than 400, more than 100 of the Shentong Temple. Stone carvings mainly include successive emperors and kings of the Zen notice of sacrifice, the creation of temples and restoration of the record, the stone by the epitaphs, poetry in praise of Dai, the title of the scene and couplets and so on the five categories, most of the natural stone carvings. The text: both the thousands of words of the long masterpiece, but also a word of surprise, both the emperor's words, but also Qianli's words. The form of both the majestic and tall "10,000-foot monument", there is also a foot small stone, both the turtle lost chi dragons, carved and polished works, there is also a rough piece of stone carving, the art of calligraphy, both the true grass and scribe seals, but also the four rubbing blend, both such as a bucket of large characters, but also fly head small regular scripts, both the ancient and clumsy as a fool, but also a dragon and phoenix, both the hands of the great and the book of the stonemasons. There are both the hands of great masters and the books of masons. It is really magnificent and colorful, Mount Tai decorated with more solemn and elegant, worthy of the most spectacular "China's natural calligraphy exhibition". All generations of tourists who do not linger for it, marveled endlessly.
Downhill
The sun is rising. Fang said they were waiting for me at the Bixia Temple. I didn't dare to stay any longer and returned the way I came. In the Bixia Temple side of the wind, finally saw them. Two children wrapped in military coats sitting on the ground asleep, Ah Fang stood on the side, she was full of regret, did not see the Jade Emperor Peak. Because of the limited time, we discussed and decided to wake up the children and prepare to go down the mountain. Did not sleep well, Nyonya was a little angry. Li Ge opened his mouth and said: If we put a bowl in front of us, surely someone will throw money to us. Do not feel a smile. After a night of hard work, everyone's face is a little ugly, cold, hungry and tired, how to go down the mountain? Take the cable car? It would save energy, but we climbed the mountain at night and didn't see any scenery along the way. But walking down, walking? The two kids kept yelling: cable car cable car. We'd better eat something hot first before we talk. Sitting in the restaurant at the top of the mountain is incredibly expensive. A small bowl of noodles is 10 dollars. Down the mountain 50 cents a bowl of millet thin rice to 5 dollars. But even so could not care much. After the meal, everyone's spirit is much better. Especially the two children, not to mention the cable car, to walk down. We were so happy. We took advantage of the good spirits and kept taking pictures on the way down. The two children were wearing the two yellow fleece jackets that they bought in Zhongtianmen, with a line "I climbed Mount Tai" printed on their chests, and posed in a variety of poses, which was very cute.
Down the eighteen plate, although not as physically demanding as on, but such a steep slope, looking a little cold. Holding on to the iron railing, we formed a line, the three walking sticks across, before and after each other, perhaps too eye-catching, other tourists look back from time to time, there is a guy holding a camera to follow the capture, Ah Fang simply hand him our camera to take a picture. Gradually warmed up, the tourists on the mountain is still a lot of walking through the most dangerous eighteen plate, the hand of the walking stick is a little redundant, Niu Niu will be all the way shouting: sell the crutches, sell the crutches. One dollar a stick. In the blink of an eye, two of them were disposed of. The rest of the hand because the handle fell off, simply 50 cents to a tourist. To come out to play, the figure is to be happy. The children felt that they had accomplished a great deal by climbing up to the South Heavenly Gate themselves. Ah Fang did not see the top of the Jade Emperor, plans to visit Mount Tai again. I, on the other hand, don't dare to have such plans for the time being. All the way to the Middle Heavenly Gate, on the bus, exhausted, we can finally rest, the car circled between the mountain road, the roadside scenery passed by, thinking about some of the missed attractions, it is really more than enough. Even though Dai Temple is in front of us, do not have to buy tickets, but also lazy into the. In this way, our trip to Mount Tai is over. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this one.
