Chapter 123 The Forbidden City (eighth update)

Some Chinese legends always have some metaphysical color, and they are so vital and have a long history that even the destruction of the Four Olds in special periods has not been able to sweep them away.

For example, the birth date is particularly important in tradition and cannot be disclosed to others at will, because once it is known to others, it will cause some criminals to open your birth chart and suck away your luck. Also, do not let others open your horoscope at will, because if the horoscope is opened and not closed in time, it will attract other ghosts and monsters to invade your horoscope. In addition, your horoscope will become thinner and thinner, which will weaken your luck, blessing and lifespan. .

And if someone gets your birth date, they can use it to curse you.

Qin Yuanqing both believed in and disbelieved in these metaphysics, and believed in them at the same time, because it was indeed difficult to explain clearly.

For example, there was an old woman in their village, whom Qin Yuanqing and others called "San Po". It was said that her Taoist teachings were extremely advanced and she could see ghosts and draw talismans. When Qin Yuanqing was six or seven years old, she had a high fever and vomited because she followed a funeral out of curiosity, so she went to the hospital. After continuous infusions, his condition was not cured. As a result, his mother asked the third wife to take a look. The third wife drew a talisman and then burned the talisman into ashes to make talisman water. After drinking it, he was completely healed within an hour.

As early as the 1980s, the third wife's family built a villa and was very rich. Her son and grandson were idle in the village, but they were never short of money.

Then when Qin Yuanqing was in Mount Putuo in his previous life, he once saw a monk doing the practice, so he took a girl to an exposed rock in the sea, practiced the practice for an hour, and then returned. I heard that such an hour of practice would cost dozens of people. Ten thousand, and that woman was actually the Peacock Princess.

Anyway, there are some things, whether you believe them or not, they don't exist. Qin Yuanqing himself is not sure that there are really no such things in this world.

After all, he has been reborn, so what else can't happen?

After dinner, Jingtian drove everyone back. His father's drinking capacity was better than Qin Yuanqing's, and he didn't even get down after drinking a bottle of white wine.

Qin Yuanqing himself was dizzy and still somewhat sane, but he was staggering when he walked.

This state was the most uncomfortable. After drinking two large cups of tea, he sobered up a lot. After taking a bath, Qin Yuanqing went to bed.

When he woke up, he found that Jingtian was not around. Qin Yuanqing was a little confused. He washed up and went downstairs. He saw that his parents had already gotten up. Jing's father and mother were also making tea downstairs. Only then did Qin Yuanqing know. , Jingtian went back to his home last night and brought his parents over early in the morning, but he planned to go out together today.

After everyone prepared, we headed to the Forbidden City. During the state-owned enterprise festival, the Forbidden City was very lively and crowded with people. It can be said to be the most popular scenic spot in Beijing.

There are five major palaces in the world, namely the Forbidden City in China, the Palace of Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in Britain, the White House in the United States, and the Kremlin in Russia. The Forbidden City in Beijing undoubtedly ranks first among the five major palaces. It is one of the largest and best-preserved wooden structure ancient buildings in the world. Construction began in the fourth year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, and was completed in the eighteenth year of Yongle. It has a history of 600 years.

Thanks to the popularity of Qing palace dramas and Ming palace dramas in recent years, the popularity of the Forbidden City has become known to the common people. In addition, the 600-year-old imperial city is rooted in everyone's heart. No one does not want to see the Forbidden City. See the ancient palace.

This Forbidden City is really magical. A central axis runs through the entire Forbidden City. This central axis is on the central axis of the capital. The three main halls, the three rear palaces, and the Imperial Garden are all located on this central axis. On both sides of the central axis palace, there are also There are many palaces distributed symmetrically, and they are all magnificent.

It was hard for Qin, Yuan and Qing to imagine how the Forbidden City could have been built in ancient times without advanced tools.

When you arrive at the Forbidden City, you will naturally go to the History and Art Museum, Painting Museum, etc., which contain a large number of ancient art treasures. Anyone who looks at these historical and cultural relics will be filled with admiration.

It took a whole day to visit the Forbidden City. When it was closed, they came out of Donghua Gate and went straight to the Siji Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant next to it.

When it comes to roast duck, Quanjude cannot be ignored. Quanjude, who is over 150 years old, is well-known in the capital for his hanging oven roast duck.

But since the commercialization of Quanjude, the taste has also deteriorated. The braised oven is weak but not strong, the duck is too greasy, and the duck skin is not crispy. Quanjude, the founder of hanging oven roast duck, has completely become a gathering place for tourists, with assembly line operations and taste. Total loss.

Fortunately, the roast duck class in Quanjude, the "Whampoa Military Academy" of roast duck in the capital, has trained many excellent roast duck masters, who are scattered across the capital to show off their skills.

These chefs have carried forward the original roast duck, and each has its own characteristics. For example, Siji Minfu's roast duck has thick skin, a faint fragrance of duck fat, moderate fat, and melts in the mouth. It has three layers of duck skin, fat, and lean meat. distinct.

However, the roast duck restaurant is very crowded, so you need to make a reservation in advance, otherwise you will have to wait at least four or five hours to wait for a wait.

Dad had already arranged these scenes, and there was already a seat. Qin Yuanqing went directly in and tasted the roast duck.

Qin Yuanqing had to sigh, this was also roast duck, but the taste was much different. The roast duck here was so delicious.

Naturally, Qin Yuanqing has eaten at Quanjude, but they all felt that the taste was not as good as here.

Qin Yuanqing also felt that although Quanjude was the most famous in terms of reputation, and there were chain stores in almost every city, it would inevitably lead to a rush for quick success, and the roast duck would not be that delicious.

There is also a Kung Pao prawn ball. The shrimp balls here are made a bit like sweet and sour pork. The shrimp balls are large and fresh, and taste sweet but not greasy. Even Qin Yuanqing ate several of them in a row.

When they came out after dinner, it was completely dark. Qin Yuanqing and Jingtian went to drive. Today they drove two cars. The cars were parked in the parking lot of a unit. There was no parking space elsewhere.

The area around the Forbidden City can be said to have the most historical and cultural heritage in the capital. If you want to play, you will not be able to enjoy it even for ten days and a half.

For example, next to it is Wangfujing, the former sites of embassies of various countries in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the Temple of Heaven, etc., all of which have cultural heritage and their own stories.

Even the former residence of Ji Xiaolan became famous because of the film and television drama "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan".

The city of Beijing is full of historical and cultural heritage, including royal palaces, former residences of historical celebrities, royal gardens, imperial city walls, etc.

Tomorrow, we will go to the square early in the morning to watch the national flag being raised.

So as soon as we got back, everyone took a shower and went to bed to get ready for bed. Although the flag-raising time is at six o'clock, it takes time to line up to enter, so you have to go at least an hour early, otherwise you may not be able to get in or it will be over. After all, the flag-raising time is a while.

As a result, everyone got up early at three o'clock in the morning. The weather was still a little cold at this time, so everyone wore autumn clothes. When the car drove to People's Square, it was still dark, but it was only slightly visible. bright light.

But there are already many people here. These people are basically foreign tourists. In order to see the national flag, they live in relatively close distances, such as near Qianmen and near Shichahai.

Qin Yuanqing and Jingtian fought for the best viewing position. As time passed, more and more people were in the square.

When the day began to light up, the middle gate was wide open, and the national flag guard walked across the Jinshui Bridge with neat and powerful steps. The crowd began to become restless. Everyone squeezed closer to the flag-raising platform, regardless of the people on duty. The armed police soldiers dissuaded him.

Obviously, everyone wants to fix this sacred moment and scene as a commemoration.

Dong dong dong~!

The pace was uniform, and as the national flag guard continued to come, the restless crowd began to calm down, pay attention to the national flag, and enjoy the pride of being a Chinese.

The familiar "March of the Volunteers" sounded, and the national flag slowly rose. When it rose to the same height as people, the soldier holding a corner of the flag flicked it, and the five-star red flag unfolded under the rising sun and the gentle morning breeze. The sound is particularly bright.

Like the crowd around him, Qin Yuanqing instantly entered a certain solemn and sacred atmosphere. He tensed up and gazed into the distance. He did not return to the world until the national flag was raised to the top of the flagpole and the national anthem stopped.

Next to Qin Yuanqing, a little girl sat on her father's shoulders, holding her head high and saluting the team salute, with a serious expression and unswerving eyes, her bright red scarf fluttering gently in the wind.

The square quickly recovered from its solemn atmosphere and became noisy again.

Everyone was extremely excited and happy. You must know that in the past, this scene could only be seen on TV during the military parade. Now that they have witnessed it with their own eyes, how could everyone not be excited?

Qin Yuanqing was also very excited when he saw his parents and asked passers-by to take a photo of them.

It was worth the trip.

Qin Yuanqing secretly lamented that his parents had lived in the countryside all their lives and had never even been to the city twice. The capital, the People's Square, and the flag-raising could only be seen on TV. Now taking them to see it in person had fulfilled their wish.

"From now on, I must take some time every year to take my parents out for travel!" Qin Yuanqing said to himself secretly.

Both parents are over fifty years old, and there are only a few decades left. Qin Yuanqing still feels that he should take them to see these beautiful mountains and rivers while they can still walk, otherwise, wait until they can no longer walk. , it would be meaningless to do this again.

Three mountains and five mountains, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. . . . . . There are really too many places worth visiting in China. This ancient country is filled with ancient cities that are thousands of years old. These beautiful mountains and rivers were built with the blood of the ancestors of China. There is not an inch of extra space.
