Wet North and South Lakes
Zhou Yaoquan
On the afternoon of October 7th, when we entered the North and South Lake Scenic Area of Haiyan, Zhejiang, and walked on the Baogong Dike, which divides the lake into north and south halves, it happened to be the time when the obscene autumn rain was falling.
Baogong embankment is about 10 meters wide, planted with willow, peach and camphor on both sides, and there is a star pavilion built by the lake.
I hold an umbrella in my left hand and a mobile phone in my right hand, still looking for a beautiful scenery to "click" at any time. But in this smoke and rain, I suddenly thought of the most beautiful Jiangnan why not come to the rain, so I simply put away the umbrella and reached out to catch the raindrops, the rain slowly accumulated and spread, and the rain flowed from between my fingers to the ground. At this time, I wanted to taste the taste of this autumn rain, whether it was as beautiful as this autumn color, so I stretched out the tip of my tongue and sucked it, and it was really a little sweet, and the "Tianluo Water" I often drank when I was a child has the same taste, which not only moisturizes my dry throat in autumn, but also gives myself a long-lost nostalgia.
Walking along the Baogong Causeway, in the vast smoke and rain, there is a small island that seems to be floating in the lake, and there is a nine-curved wooden trestle bridge connected to it. Stepping on the plank close to the water surface, the sound of "creaking" and the sound of the rain, watching the lake and listening to the rain in the full autumn color, letting the rain wet my hair and seeping into my neck, letting the breeze gently blow my cheeks, gently stirring up a few shallow waves, warming my heart that has been away from Jiangnan for a long time, let me feel once again a fresh scene from the inside out of my childhood, the road is very comfortable.
Egret Island, what a nice name, you should be able to see egrets, right?
But apparently thinking too much, I said that every late autumn and early winter, there are flocks of egrets flying to roost, so it turns out that we came early.
Bailuzhou is the pier in the center of the lake, which is said to be formed by the accumulation of soil during the dredging of the North Lake. Except for the absence of egrets on the continent, the scenery is really good. There is a poem praised by the Ming Dynasty poet Xu Tai after coming here to admire the moon: "The osmanthus flowers on the lake are autumn, and the sea and the moon are full of paintings. It seems that the night of the six bridges in Qiantang is still said to be a small Hangzhou. "
Therefore, after passing the white wall gray tile circular doorway with the words "Egret Island" written on it, there is a piece of wood fossil engraved with the four big green characters of "Autumn Moon in the Lake". It is conceivable that it must be a beautiful thing to enjoy the moon here, but in today's weather, I am afraid that the moon will not appreciate the face, so much so!
But it's not okay to enjoy the moon, it's always okay to listen to the rain under the porch! So we passed through the pavilion of "ethereal shadows" and "the moon with fate", walked through the tea room of "generation has a flowing wind", passed through the water pavilion of "the word is correct and round", and moved to the bottom of the long silhouette of "Bijing Hantian", where flowers and trees are sparse and green trees are shady. Looking at the rain like a curtain, falling on the branches and hanging on the leaves, when it accumulates to a round and shiny ball of water, it will roll down, fall to the ground with a "tick" sound, and suddenly shatter into eight petals and go deep into the soil; Falling into the water was a "ding dong" sound, and it suddenly dissolved into the water and disappeared without a trace. It's amazing!
At this time, it seems to give people a feeling of "autumn rain on the north and south lakes, tourists on the Egret Island are worried", but carefully look at the scenery of "the rain hits the banana like jade, and the smoke clouds step lightly on the tall building", the grass and trees around it, a lake and a water, showing a different elegance and different grace, only to know that it is the rain that fills the north and south lakes, which is really a unique poetic feeling.
