The three scenic spots of Wen Huai, Silk Cotton Wood and Huaiyin Garden are the places where I left a deep impression in Qingfeng Park when I visited Beijing during May Day.
1. Wen Huai's memories. According to legend, this ancient locust plant has a history of more than 500 years, and around 1748 AD, a generation of literary giants Cao Xueqin traveled between Xiangshan and Tongzhou many times, passing through the Qingfeng Gate and often waiting under the locust tree to sit idly or with friends Dunmin, Duncheng and other tea poems and inscriptions, and wrote many immortal poems, so later generations called this locust "Wen Huai".
In the spring of the 29th year of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1764), when Dunmin was drinking with friends at the "Wangdonglou" restaurant in Qingfeng Gate, Dunmin and his friends were touching the scene when they were drinking, remembering old friends, giving poems to hang snow celery, and wrote the famous "River Dry Drinking Theme Wall and Hanging Snow Qin": "The willows on both sides of the flower and the river are faint, and the scenery is spring." The dead water does not leave the poet, and the climb is empty to remember the wine. The river is full of snow, and the village is full of distant light. With unwarranted frequent hope, the cold forest Xiao Temple flew at dusk."

Mr. Yu Dingji visited Beijing Qingfeng Park in the autumn of October 16, 2020, and saw the rare tree species silk cotton wood and wrote "Five Laws Silk Cotton Wood": rare Beijing ancient trees, 100 years old. The park is quiet in summer and cool in autumn. The branches are red and pendant, and the green leaves are fragrant with flowers. The environment is beautiful on the street, silky and quaint.
3. Huaiyin Garden, this ancient locust tree is about 200 years old, with a crown width of about 15 meters, a height of 10 meters, and a breast diameter of 95 cm.
During the Three Kingdoms, Wang Yu wrote "Huai Fu" and praised: "Only the strange tree of the hall is the grace of nature." Surpassing the domain and colonizing, as the Huahui of the terrace. The shape of cotton persimmon is smooth with strips, and the color is bright and distinct. The abundant leaves are gentle, and the summer is prosperous. It is established in the province of the temple and rooted in its depth. Birds are willing to perch and throw wings, and people are looking forward to shelter and wearing. ”
Cao Pi's "Huai Fu" said: "There is a beautiful tree of a great state, but the quality is commendable. Toring is rooted in the rich soil, and is brilliance of the sun and moon. The perimeter corridor opens its toes, and the door is clamped and the door is opened. Chengwenchang's Suiyu, looking at the wind's Qu'a. The cultivation is varied, and the green leaves are heavy and heavy. The upper stem is gentle and cloudy, and the lower stem is erect and heart-warming. The beginning of the first summer. The wild geese swim and send the festival, and the triumphant wind soars to welcome the time. The sky is clear and warm, and the air is calm and peaceful. Suitable for the body against the heat. Who said it was unpleasant. ”
Cao Zhi gave the locust tree in "Huai Fu": "Envy the magnificence of good wood, love is more precious than the supreme." With the Hua Hall of Wenchang, Sen Lie stands at the end of the gate, and watches Zhu Yu to Zhentiao. According to His Majesty's roots. Chang Shen Yin is overturned, like the grace of the Ming Queen. In the spring of the season, it is early to flourish, and the practice of Zhu Xia is prosperous. The hot scenery of the yang essence is scattered to increase freshness. ”
The dashing mountain day is long, and the smoke is wandering for couples. Who can sleep in the breeze at night, a locust flower full of incense. - Qing Zhang Pengyi
