Autumn winds, forests are dyed, everywhere is a golden yellow; morning light, walking on this beautiful land above the Lanling Plaza, there is a different flavor.
Approaching the square, the first thing that comes to mind is the solemn and majestic flag-raising platform. After stepping on the three steps of the flag platform, you can see the flagpole standing in the center of the platform, towering into the clouds. Looking up from the flagpole, there is the national flag - the five-star red flag flying in the wind in the air. This flag is so hard-won! It is countless revolutionary martyrs, forefathers on the battlefield, throwing their heads, shedding blood in exchange for the colors of the flag is the revolutionary martyrs, forefathers of the crimson blood dyed. Gazing at the red flag, I seem to see: Whenever October 1, the flag escorted by the flag guard to the flag-raising platform, the flag-raising scene. When I think of it, I can't help but shed hot tears.
A few more steps forward, is the flag-raising platform directly across from the thousand-year-old banyan tree planted in the marble-lined altar. There are countless branches on that old banyan tree. Many of the roots hang down on the ground and reach into the soil, while some of the roots hang in mid-air. In the morning light, through the banyan tree, the ground appeared to be dotted with starry shadows, which was very wonderful. Seeing the banyan tree grow year after year, I felt like I saw our Chinese people*** and the country has gone through vicissitudes in the past 56 years, only to have the achievements of "Shenzhou VI" today. My eyes are once again moist.
Banyan tree around, is a large square. Square paved with red, yellow, green, white four-color bricks, very dazzling. There is a Taiji Bagua in the center of the square for people to practice in the morning, which is favored by many old people. Early in the morning, there are many old people come here for morning exercise: some sword dance, some in the dance of the fan, some in the practice of tai chi, some in the twisted rice-planting songs. Each old man is old and strong, really should be "the old man is the sunset red" this sentence.
The square is directly behind a round fountain. The fountain is surrounded by patterned marble. The water in the fountain is so clear when you get close to it! Even the colored lights at the bottom of the pool can be seen clearly. At night, more than ten colorful lights are turned on, the fountain began to spray. In the reflection of the colored lights, the fountain looks colorful, high and low, as if the piano jumping notes, releasing a piece of passionate music. A cool autumn breeze came to me, pulling me back to reality.
I looked into the distance and saw farmers happily busy harvesting ripe crops in the golden farmland.
The square is surrounded by a circular path. The lawns on both sides of the path are planted with flowers and grasses, attracting many small butterflies, so beautiful!
Ah! Lanling Square in the fall, I love you!
