Not my hometown. But Nanjing feels like my hometown to me. "Like old friends at first sight" refers to the tacit understanding when two strangers meet. When Brother Bao first met Sister Lin, he said frankly, I have seen this sister before. I think, Nanjing, to me, is such a place I have seen before.
I have never been to Nanjing, but I was intoxicated by his calm and calm beauty in my dreams. Standing on the bank of the Qinhuai River in the drizzle, looking at the pink wall at the entrance of Wuyi Alley, I felt the urge to say something, but I always fell silent. The four words "I want to be speechless" were probably written in such weather and at such a moment. When Li Bai came, he must have also come to Wang Xie's former residence. With his long gown fluttering, he walked in the green alley, imagining and singing about the old relics of the Six Dynasties that have become cold smoke and decaying grass.
The history of this city is really too long. From the Three Kingdoms to the Six Dynasties, from the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and then to the Republic of China, the city rose and fell, declined and prospered again, and its name changed again and again, Baixia, Moling, Jiankang, Jianye, Jiangning, Jinling┄┄And today, it still stands here so quietly, so quiet that you can't imagine the storm it once had. This was such a romantic city. He witnessed the elegance of the literati of the Six Dynasties; he also saw the wasteland of the Southern Tang Dynasty, waiting for the lover who quietly came to meet with gold-laced shoes in the night; the flowing water of Qinhuai also heard the boatmen singing "Where does the Jun family live?" And lived in Hengtang. "I have also witnessed the joys and sorrows of many talented men and beautiful women, Liu Rushi, Dong Xiaowan, Gu Hengbo,Li XiangJun, they and their beloved men together constitute that complete history.
This is also a city of seclusion. Literati built their life dreams in this city. How many sunrises and sunsets, they lived here like ordinary people, lived an ordinary life, and left behind a few beautiful poems. "The sun sets in the west forest, and the autumn is colder than pomelo oranges. In the evening, you can see the smoke all over the city, and in the morning, you can see the clouds all over the Xiu. "I remember, when I saw this inscription for the first time, I had a feeling of leaning on the fence and looking into the distance. The lush and green Nanjing is peaceful and deep. There is water flowing in the green bamboo forest. Those old trees are covered with vines. Watching the sweet-scented osmanthus bloom and fall, there is a kind of tranquility that quietly penetrates into your heart. In the drizzle morning, you will feel a kind of tranquility 。
People say that this city’s nostalgia is inseparable from its sorrow, because it has experienced the fall of many dynasties. The stories of those literati, whether they are romantic or tragic, are naturally the desolate songs in this big book of history. In fact, he has never seen the prosperous scene. This is just the best carrier of Chinese history, showing the various mysteries in the ups and downs. People come here in times of war to find similar historical emotions, and in times of peace they come here to pursue the lingering charm of the literati. You don’t need to know who this building was built to commemorate, nor do you need to know that the name comes from a poem by Du Fu of Lid Department Store. As long as you come and drink a bowl of tea or a bowl of noodles, you will only experience the taste of Nanjing. Sit by the window and see the ancient long embankment winding in the rain, while the mist on the surface of Xuanwu Lake seems to float into the tea in your hand. You quietly listen to the crisp sound of rain hitting the eaves, and your heart is peaceful without any noise. Those green-grey towers are silent with you, those dark green mountains are breathing with you, and the noodles in your bowl become a moist and warm enjoyment in your life. Maybe you have reached that age when you should have a bowl of plain noodles. Nanjing is just such a place where you can eat this bowl of noodles with peace of mind.
In this city, you can relax for a while, knowing that nothing is important enough to make life stressful. In the beautiful morning, I bought some fresh fruits and watched the lush surrounding scenery wake up in the morning light amid the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. If you are not nostalgic for the past, Nanjing is such a simple and warm city that will make you feel that being a ordinary citizen in a prosperous age is indeed a wonderful thing. If you are nostalgic for the past, you will also feel that the days of this fragrant little meal were quite good.
Nanjing is different from other cities in this: the scenic spots are not just scenic spots, they are integrated with the entire city, making you feel unaware of the nobility of the scenic spots and the secularity of the city. Wherever you go, you can think that this place has no history, which makes you discover her beauty for the first time. In this city, the layers of history are not blocked and displayed. You also know that this history has passed, and the sunshine here is the same as the sunshine elsewhere.
“In the calmness of the wind and waves, you can see the true state of life, and in the place where the taste is muted and the sound is sparse, you can realize the true nature of the mind and body."This sentence refers to Nanjing, and it also refers to your and my life...
