Lonely Baqiao
Text/Chu Guoqing
The earliest known Baqiao Bridge is the Snow Map of Baqiao Bridge written by Wei Wu in Ming Dynasty and The Story of Purple Hairpin written by Tang Xianzu. The water in the painting flows from the distant mountains. In the snow and dense old trees, a man riding a donkey is crossing the bridge. Legend has it that Huo Xiaoyu saw off Li Yi, the scribe, on Baqiao Bridge, and they forged a deep affection. Finally, they broke the willows to say goodbye, and tears wet the railing. Wei Wu's paintings are elegant and full of literary flavor, and the legend of Tang Xianzu is blurred and fascinating. Baqiao bridge in the snowstorm, as the image of parting injury, makes me unforgettable so far; Later, I have been tortured in classical poetry, which is a feeling that is hard to let go and inhuman to outsiders.

It is the season when flying flowers are as light as dreams. After visiting Banpo ruins, we will go to Baqiao.
The station wagon is only three or four kilometers from Banpo to Baqiao, but it takes nearly an hour. The car was repaired from time to time, and it really broke down at Baqiao. Well, the car is not exciting, but there is more time to visit this famous scenic spot.
Baqiao is located on the Bahe River, which is more than ten kilometers east of Xi 'an, and it is the only place from Xi 'an to the east. Lishui in the west, Lishan in the east, the vast Bailuyuan in the southeast, Pingchuan in the fertile Weihe River in the north and Tongren Garden in the northeast. Lu Yong said: "This place is the most important place in Chang 'an, and anyone who goes in and out from things must go through this road. "Pass" refers to the pass in the northwest of Shangxian County, Shaanxi Province, also known as Qingniguan or Lantian Pass, which is the gateway to southeastern Anhui. "Tong" is Tongguan at the junction of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces. You can't see it until you get to Baqiao. After crossing Baqiao, the expressway from Xi 'an is divided into three lines: north, east and south. The northern line enters northern Shaanxi, the eastern line reaches Zhengzhou, and the southern line reaches Shangzhou, Nanyang and Xinyang. It has been a major traffic town since ancient times, and now the traffic is more developed. National Highway 108 (parallel to Longhai Railway Line), National Highway 3 10 (Xi 'an to Inner Mongolia) and National Highway 3 12 (Xi 'an to Shanghai) all meet in Baqiao Town. Another three expressways pass Baqiao, namely Lianyungang to Xinjiang, Xi 'an to Lantian and Xi 'an to Yanliang, connecting special lines such as Xilin, Xitong, Xibao and Xianyang International Airport, which is the third artery connecting the east and west of China. Longhai Railway and Xikang Railway cross the river, and there are four special railway lines to choose from. Baqiao Town has become the center of the "rice-shaped" traffic layout in Shaanxi Province, which can be described as extending in all directions.
Walking on the bridge, facing the ancient town of Baqiao in the east of the bridge, I stood on the bridge, stroking the railing with my hands, and my thoughts piled up into the impression of the ancients. In a flash, I seemed to bump into all the ancients walking on Baqiao Bridge. Thousands of years ago, they watched the scenery of "Fuling Snow" on this bridge, their clothes fluttered and their willows folded. They rode horses or donkeys and walked across the bridge with the pride of the winner and the poems on the donkey's back; They traveled from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, dreaming of making great achievements in the sun. They also walked eastward from here to the Central Plains, and saw the prosperity of the imperial capital in the Riverside Map at Qingming Festival. However, many years have passed, and the loneliness here has resumed, but I have come. I don't believe it. Is this the face-to-face bridge for heartbreakers who have traveled all over the world? Is Li Bai's willow color always unbearable to leave the bridge? Is Meng Haoran of Lumen Mountain riding a donkey and enjoying plum blossoms on a snowy day? I know very well that every stone and sand on Baqiao Bridge embodies the voice of an ancient man, with a vague sob and other meaning's words. Baqiao, I don't know, is it because you can't bear countless sad stories that you become so lonely and have been destroyed several times? Otherwise, you won't be the swan song of the injured. The world is bitter like parting, why are you alone in Baqiao? More than folding willows? Why do you want to represent such a most concerned and sad image in the world? Your emotions are really too heavy! The culture of "Ba" you have accumulated is too rich!
Bahe River, one of the eight major rivers in Chang 'an, originates from the Blue Valley in Lantian County, Qinling Mountains, joins Zhang Jian in Wangchuan, an ancient scenic spot in Chang 'an, flows northward, passes through the original Baling Valley, crosses the eastern suburbs of Chang 'an, and joins Weihe River in the northwest. According to the Records of Geography of Hanshu, Bahe River was called Zishui in ancient times, but Qin Mugong changed its name to make contributions with Zhang Tong. In order to show his martial arts of dominating Xirong, Qin Mugong even took the name of this river as a hegemonic color. But later geographers seemed unwilling to admit this fact, and inadvertently added a three-point water before the word "ba", which became Ba water. From then on, Ba culture such as Bashi, Bashang, Baling, Batou, Baqiao Broken Willow, Liu Ba Snowstorm and Liu Ba Snowstorm has formed in the east of Chang 'an. The White Deer Plain written by writer Chen was called Bashang in ancient times, also known as Baling Source. "Historical Records" said: "The emperor ruled Fuling with earthenware, not gold, silver, copper and tin. ..... think of it as a number by its water name. " Liu Heng, the emperor of China, was the third emperor of the Han Dynasty. After the death of Lv Hou, Zhou Bo and others put down the rebellion of Zhu Lu, and in the case of the death of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, Liu Heng was appointed as the son of Han family. During his twenty-three years in office, he advocated frugality and sympathized with the people's sufferings, which led to social stability, national prosperity and people's safety. Together with the later Emperor Hanjing, it created a long-term peaceful and prosperous situation, which is called "the rule of Wenjing" in history. Baling was originally his wordless monument.

In Ba culture, the most famous is Ba Bridge. In China, water is a landscape, even a philosophy, rather than an extension of the road. Southerners ship, northerners bridge. The evolution from ship to bridge marks the improvement of scientific level and productivity.
There is no exact record of when there was a bridge on Bashui, except that it was not until the Western Han Dynasty that a wooden bridge was built here, which was located more than ten miles northwest of this bridge. In the third year of Emperor Huang (AD 22), Baqiao Bridge was flooded. Wang Mang didn't think it was a good omen, so he changed the name of the bridge to Changcun Bridge. It is called immortality, but it was destroyed several times in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, both Sanfu and Water Mirror Notes mentioned Baqiao, indicating that the old name had been restored. In the third year of Emperor Wendi, in 583 AD, a stone bridge was built slightly north of this bridge, forming a north-south bridge.
China people are very good at building bridges. The town of China should be in the south, not in the north, and Shaoxing, a water town with dense river networks, is the most important. Now Shaoxing has 108 19 bridges, making it a unique "city of ten thousand bridges" in the world. Venice, a water city famous for its many bridges, has only 0.66 bridges per square kilometer, while Shaoxing has 3 1 bridge per square kilometer. Among them, the ancient bridges include covered bridges, pavilion bridges, tangqiao and portal bridges. , with different functions and shapes. Some bridges can also be built. The boatman on the boat and the farmer on the shore can see the story of rise and fall and all kinds of love and hate between people. It is no wonder that the people in the south of the Yangtze River who gave birth to "butterfly lovers" are dismissive of the crooked wooden bridge in the American film "Bridges of Madison County". How can the rotten wood spark love? However, the most famous bridges in China are all in the north, not in the south. For example, Zhao Zhouqiao is the "ancestral temple" in the history of bridges in the world, and its double arch shape is still used by bridge engineers all over the world. At that time, the design level of Baqiao Bridge should not be below it. 1994 Archaeological excavation confirmed that Baqiao ancient bridge was built in the early Sui Dynasty and abandoned in the Yuan Dynasty. It is a large-scale porous stone arch bridge with the earliest known age, the largest scale and the longest span in China. Archaeologists also cleared up a batch of fillings from Sui to Yuan dynasties in the belly of the bridge arch, such as porcelain, which was included in the 1994 Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in China.
After the Song Dynasty, the old Fuling Road and the old Qin and Han Bridges were abandoned, and the South Bridge was put on the flat ground because Bashui moved eastward. In the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bin, a native of Tangyi, Shandong Province, rebuilt this stone bridge, which is about where Baqiao is now located. According to the scenic spots in Guanzhong, this bridge has 15 holes and is 24 feet wide. In the forty-six years of Qingganlong (178 1), Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi Province, rebuilt the bridge, but it was no longer in its former scale. It was not until the 14th year of Daoguang reign (1834) that Governor Yang Cai was built according to the old system. Tongzhi thirteen years (1874), rebuilt with huge stones, 150 feet long and three feet wide. Unfortunately, this bridge was demolished at 1957, just like the demolition of ancient city walls in Beijing and Xi. This is how human beings live in a strange circle, constantly erecting cultural monuments for themselves, and constantly destroying these cultural monuments, and then coming back to set things right, and finally mourning the ruins that can never be restored with a pilgrimage. Unfortunately, the ancient Baqiao Bridge no longer exists, even in ruins. The Baqiao bridge we see today is only a reinforced concrete bridge built in the 1950s.
Almost at the same time that 1957 demolished the bridge, an amazing discovery was made in a Han tomb near Baqiao, that is, "Baqiao Paper". The invention of China's papermaking was generally attributed to Cai Lun, the eunuch of the Eastern Han Dynasty, for a long time, because it was clearly recorded in The Biography of Cai Lun in the Later Han Dynasty. People often regard the year when Cai Lun presented paper to Han and Emperor-the first year of Yuanxing, namely 105, as the year when paper was born, so Cai Lun is regarded as the founder of papermaking. Baqiao paper was produced in the early Western Han Dynasty. It was mainly made of hemp and a small amount of ramie fiber, two or three hundred years earlier than Cai Lun paper. The ancient Baqiao Bridge has been demolished, and "Baqiao Paper" may give people some comfort. The invention of paper has brought mankind into a new era of civilization, and Baqiao has since gained a new cultural symbol.
But in any case, I still can't get over it, because I can't see the ancient Baqiao Bridge. In my imagination, the bridge on the water is paved with bluestone slabs with mottled historical traces of the ancients. The asphalt bridge deck in front of me makes me have a strong yearning for this ancient bridge. This bridge embodies the wisdom of China people. China man-made excellent bridges, and the legends related to bridges are more like the Ganges River sand number. Generally speaking, the bridge in the north is often associated with war, which shows the magnificence of crossing the bridge immediately and drinking in the sun; The South Bridge is mostly associated with sentimental love stories, leaving such a sad allusion as "the spring waves under the sad bridge are green, which was once a stunning photo". After careful study, it is found that many fragments of national culture and history can be picked up under every ancient bridge.
Although Baqiao has an endless history, I was still a little lost when I really stood at the bridgehead of Baqiao. Did you come to Baqiao to see this bridge? I was a little confused myself at that time. But I did come.

If you come to Baqiao to inspect the bridge-building history or other cultural history of Bashui, it will be a bit mysterious. However, what is the purpose of coming here with infatuation? In the face of Baqiao, which is quite different from my imagination, I became very helpless for a while. It is said that the ability of literati is to turn such a small corner of the world into the hometown of everyone's heart. At that time, the literati had a spell to turn Baqiao into the hometown of future generations, but today's Baqiao makes the literati unfriendly, and more is the feeling of a foreign land that will never be erased.
Walking on today's Baqiao Bridge and staring at the railing, although the spring breeze in April is already midsummer, I still can't find the touching scene in my heart. On both sides of Bashui River, there are few weeping willows and bare gravel. The yellow sand flies away, leaving only a narrow bend in the river, sometimes divided into two streams, surrounded by a sandbar, with a light green color. The river has no ripples and no waves. It just crawled quietly. In the sun, the red-backed Taosalasha people rushed to the carriage and shouted under the bridge. The riverbed was uneven. There are all kinds of cars, carriages, trolleys and tractors parked on the river beach, and the sand screens set up are like worn-out sails. I went down from the bridge to the riverbed, looking for it in the gap of a bunker, hoping to see the arrow clusters of the Qin Dynasty, ancient paper of the Han Dynasty, the broken halberd of the Six Dynasties, or the inscriptions of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it was all like a dream. Facing the layers of yellow sand, I can only imagine. Imagine that this land, this winding river, this Baqiao bridge and the chapter written by history are still brilliant and poetic. So like me, almost everyone's mind is filled with intoxicating Baqiao poems and stories. People come here to look for scenery, poetry, hometown, the snowstorm of Baqiao and farewell. ...
The "snow" in Baqiao snowstorm actually refers to catkins, so later generations also call it "Liu Ba Blizzard". The snowstorm in Baqiao was known in "The North Dream is Meaningless", which said that there was a prime minister named Zheng Qi in the late Tang Dynasty who was good at writing poems. Someone asked, "Does Guo Xiang have a poem?" He replied, "Poetry is on the back of Baqiao snowstorm donkey." It means that there is no poetic thinking here at this time, and only riding a donkey on the Baqiao Bridge with catkins flying like snowflakes can stimulate poetry, which shows the position of this "Baqiao Snowstorm" in the poet's mind. Of course, the "snow disaster in Baqiao" is just a synonym, which means that poetry needs to go deep into life, but it also shows the reputation of "snow disaster in Baqiao" in Tang and Song Dynasties.
"Baqiao Snow" was once a famous landscape in Guanzhong. Every spring season, it is like snow, and the smog is blurred. It is a good place for Chang 'an people to get together for a spring outing. At that time, on both sides of Baqiao Bridge, ancient willows fluttered, new willows were green, the wind was floating, and Lv Yun hung wild. In the spring breeze and spring rain, willows are like smoke and fog, beside Baqiao, on the water, and in the past dynasties, they have continued a kind of artistic conception of quiet and secluded, just as Zheng Gu described in the poem Mo Mo in the Tang Dynasty: "Smoke and rain cover the water, and bamboo reflects the village and connects Baqiao." In the Song Dynasty, the snow and ice landscape of Baqiao did not decrease in the Tang Dynasty, so that Qin Guan said in his words: "Baqiao is covered with snow, and there are no footprints for thousands of miles. Only then did I see that the donkey's back was clear and the plum blossom was cold. " Until the Qing Dynasty, "Baqiao Snow Scene" still had its charm as a famous landscape. The snowstorm in Liu Ba was once one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong, which can be seen on Zhu Jiyi's tablet in Xi 'an stele forest. I remember the poem chanting "the snow on the willow" on the monument is like this: "The stone road of the ancient bridge is half inclined, and the willow is green and close to the eyebrow. Shallow water and flat sand hate guests deeply and write poems lightly. " This inscription was written in the 19th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1680), which shows that at least during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the late spring in Baqiao area was like snow, which attracted people's poetic thoughts. As the Qing Dynasty's Xi An Zhou Zhi said: "The banks of Baqiao Bridge have built five miles of dikes and planted ten thousand willows, which is the grandeur of Chang 'an." At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to human factors, the ancient willows here were gradually destroyed, and the new willows did not continue, and the snow scene of Baqiao began to decline. Since then, there has been no excitement in history on both sides of Baqiao Bridge.
"Baqiao Snow Disaster" is famous because there are many willows here. Geographically, there are many rivers and channels around Chang 'an, which are suitable for the growth of willow trees. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that "smoke and willow are full of imperial city". From the river to the stranger, from the bridge to the balcony, from the palace to the royal garden, from the official residence to the residential building, willow trees are everywhere and catkins are flying, forming many places with willow trees as the scenery. In addition to Baqiao willow, there are scenes often mentioned in poems such as Zhangtai willow, Sui Gong willow, Qingmen willow, Sui Di willow, Gongmen willow and Yugou willow. As for how many willows were here in Baqiao in those days, I have no way to verify them, but one thing is certain: catkins can form a "snow storm". But it seems that the fame of Baqiao Willow lies not in nature, but in humanity. This is the eternal image of Baqiao Broken Willow, which has influenced Baqiao's mourning culture for thousands of years.

The broken willow at Baqiao Bridge is another well-known fact besides the snowstorm at Baqiao Bridge, and it is an eternal past that has spread in the hearts of literati. "Sanfu Huang Tu" said under Baqiao: "The Han people sent their guests here to bid farewell." "The Legacy of Tian Kai" also said: "It is gloomy to come to see you off, so it is called the Broken Soul Bridge." In the long years when Chang 'an became the capital of Han and Tang Dynasties, Baqiao was an ideal place for many foreign officials to leave Beijing for a farewell dinner. Farewell to Baling Pavilion, the water is vast, the ancient trees on the top have no flowers, and the spring grass on the bottom is sad.
Sending the willow away is the oldest parting custom in China. Since the Book of Songs, the ancients like to associate parting with willow trees. "I went there, Liu Yiyi." "Liu" and "Liu" are homophonic, and the willow silk is swaying, which always gives people the imagination of waving to retain.
The first person who folded willows at Baqiao Bridge should be from the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, Baqiao had feelings of parting. For example, RoyceWong, a writer at the end of the Han Dynasty, left a sigh of "going south to Fuling and looking back at Chang 'an" to avoid the war, but there was no sign of farewell. In the Tang Dynasty, Baqiao set up a post station. From then on, Baqiao was full of sadness and strong feelings. In the world, affection, love and friendship, how many people can give up the big house and abandon the big house to get rid of it? After three hundred years of Baqiao, Tongguan Morning Dream, Weicheng Morning Rain, Liangzhou Canxue and Yangguan Qiangdi, the Tang people left Baqiao, went to Anxi, went to Luntai and went to the distant Qiuci Sea. Contributing to the western regions is the fashion and weather in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Bai initiated the inscription of "Remembering Qin E", which began with "Farewell to Baqiao": "Xiao Shengyan, dreams are broken. Qin family, every year in the second quarter of the moon, the willow color by the bridge is printed with seven windows for farewell. ..... "Li Yi, another poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the quatrain of" On the way to Li Er ":"The willows are full of smoke and clouds, and they climb high every year and become pedestrians. Good wind borrows low branches, so don't send moss to sweep away road dust. "It became a masterpiece of farewell to Baqiao.
From the Tang Dynasty, Baqiao abandoned Huaqingchi and the arrogance of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, Kyoto moved eastward, and the number of scholars in Baqiao decreased greatly. However, the custom of seeing off the willows here is still continuing, among which the description in Liu Yong's Youth Tour is the most emotional: "Baling bridges and trees are interlaced, and the scenery is the best." Weeping willows, after several climbs, gaunt Chu palace waist. The sunset is idle, Qiu Guang is old, and his thoughts are full of happiness. A song of Yang Guan, heartbroken, alone LanRao. "There is also He Zhu's" Lianlizhi ":"I want to make Baqiao old in spring and dream of Jiangnan. Amin scholar Xu Fuzhuo also said in The Story of the Red Pear: "Look at him attacking in the wind, smoking in a cage, and heartbroken on the bank of Baqiao Bridge. "However, in the Qing Dynasty, the literati seemed to have lost the habit of breaking willows when leaving, and the riding and shooting nation never appreciated this affection for children. As a result, Baqiao became more and more distant in their field of vision. Emperor Qianlong went to the northeast, visited Jiangnan six times and entered Qufu nine times, but rarely set foot in Guanzhong, because it was the glory of Han and Tang Dynasties, and after all, he could not find a trace of joy in returning home. Empress Dowager Cixi was lucky enough to cross Baqiao, but she was on her way to escape from Shaanxi urgently. She must pass, but she must pass. In her hands, the Qing dynasty was already the afterglow of the west wind and the sound of ancient roads on Fuling.
The faint Baqiao Bridge, the pedestrians I saw after that were mostly in tears, and it was hard to have the fortitude and heroism of the Tang Dynasty. The catkins don't fly in March, which is the wet cry of the people who see me off.
It's really a kind of helplessness for me to take ancient book allusions for Baqiao. Because I know that what many people sing is not a specific reference to a large extent, but a cultural symbol that hurts others.
In Baqiao, there is no way to trace the glory of Baqiao, only to clean the ancient book bags. Baqiao has nothing to show to modern people. Times have developed to this day, and no one has given me gifts. Modern transportation and communication have made people have no barriers, and the era of materialistic cross-flow has also made people's emotions indifferent and rough. Family, friendship and love have less thoughts, less pain, less friction, less determination and determination. So, you don't have to break the willow, or even send it away. Baqiao is lonely because of this.
five
The sunset has approached the distant mountains, and looking back at Chang 'an, it looks ancient.
Walking on the bridge, it is increasingly difficult for me to relate the scene in front of me to the history of Baqiao Bridge, but it is difficult to get rid of historical meditation for a while, as if the concept of time and space has disappeared, and the figures of Qin Shihuang, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Li Bai, Wang Wei, Meng Haoran or Bai Juyi are always shaking in front of me. Suddenly, I found several weeping willows on the east bank of Baqiao, with their dead branches swaying and their trunks bowing, as if an old man were watching the river in the breeze. Is this a testimony of "the spring breeze knows the bitterness and does not send willow green"?
Touching the mottled and rusty bridge railings, many clear and fuzzy pictures flashed before my eyes. It tells me that Baqiao is not only a farewell, but also a feat and an elegy-
-At the end of the Warring States Period, when the King of Qin came to power, the general Wang Jian went out to attack Jing, and the three armed forces directed at Tongguan. Qin Shihuang personally saw him off to Baqiao, which showed the great ambition of a generation of heroes to unify China.
-In 227 BC, Gao Jianli struck Zhu, and Jing Ke wrote Song of Yishui, but he was not killed when he crossed Baqiao to stab Qin in Xianyang. Jing Ke became the representative of the Warring States Rangers.
-In 206 BC, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang led an army from Wuguan to Bishui to break Qin, and from Baqiao to West Xianyang. Although Zi Ying, the king of Qin, has hundreds of thousands of troops in Hanguguan, he is still a white horse. "The title welcomes the road."
-There is a kiosk on Baqiao Bridge in Han Shi to check pedestrians. One night, Li Guang, a general demoted to Shu Ren, passed the bridge while hunting, and was stopped by a drunken Fuling commandant. Li Guang's entourage said, "This is the former general Li." Fuling Wei didn't buy it: "Today's generals are not allowed to walk at night, so what about the original generals!" Li Guang had no choice but to spend the night at the checkpoint at Qiaotou. Later, Li Guang was reinstated, and Emperor Wu worshipped him as the right Beiping magistrate. When he took office, he specially invited Emperor Wu to go with him. As soon as Commander Fu Ling arrives in the army, he will try to kill him. It seems that the famous flying general will inevitably have a small stomach and a narrow intestine. This incident was later written into Historical Records and Biography of Li by Sima Qian.
-At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chang 'an was in chaos, and the people of the Imperial Capital fled from Baqiao East. After the famous writer RoyceWong escaped from Chang 'an, he stood on the shore of Fuling and looked back at Chang 'an. He wrote a famous poem about seven injuries, and then went south to Jingzhou from the ancient road on the shore of Fuling.
—— To the east of Baqiao is the world-famous Lishan Huaqing Pool. Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty was a "milky crystal that moistened her skin". On Baqiao, dragons and phoenixes were not seen every year. Where would the emperor and the imperial concubine think of saying goodbye to the world?
-At the end of 880 AD, the Huang Chao Uprising Army occupied Lintong, and Zhang Zhifang, the general of Jin Wu in the Tang Dynasty, led dozens of civil and military officials to Baqiao to "meet and surrender" the insurgents. Subsequently, Huang Chao's army crossed Baqiao and entered Chang 'an.
-/kloc-at the end of 0/936, before the "Xi Incident", patriotic students, in order to express their determination to fight against Japanese aggression to death, lay flat on Baqiao Bridge, blocking Zhang Xueliang's car from Huaqingchi to Xi 'an, asking him to show his attitude towards the war of resistance in public, otherwise he would rather be crushed to death by a car on Baqiao Bridge.
……
Qin Xue, Sui Yu, Lushui, weeping willow.
Time can pass like a river, but the old man of history will always be in awe. No one who is lonely or prominent, poor or rich will give him eternal life to accompany this Baqiao Bridge, but all of them will be pushed into the genealogy of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which is the destination that no one can surpass. Wang Jian and Liu Bang disappeared, Li Guang and Yang Yuhuan disappeared, Jing Ke left singing a sad song, and Zhang Xueliang also rested in the cool breeze and bright moon in Hawaii, but Mount Li remained, and the water flowed forever; Terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed in turn, and the trees in the first imperial tomb were arched; Longhai Road became the Eurasian Continental Bridge, and the Famen Temple relic shocked the whole world. Everything is developing in accordance with the inherent rhythm of history, with sunrise and sunset. The old has gone and the new has come. Today, my first secretary of state can stand on Baqiao Bridge to express his ancient love, which is an opportunity given to me by history. In the shadow of the sunset, I found rows of old willows with long branches and leaves on both sides of a road at the western end of Baqiao Bridge. There are many stalls selling local products under Liu Yin, and the stall owners are very modest and practical. Not far away, the fence constitutes a small farmhouse, and the sparse green has climbed the door. Most of the newly planted willows outside the courtyard are soft and swaying in the breeze. According to the old farmer, every family has planted trees and willows. I think, after three or five years, Baqiao will not disappoint tourists again, and it seems that it is not far to reproduce the strange landscape of "Baqiao Snow".
The sunset has disappeared in the distant mountains. In the twilight, you can vaguely see the ancient road, but you can't smell the melancholy songs or see the graceful figure. The horizontal sand looks weaker and thinner in the afterglow of the sunset.
Leaving Baqiao, sitting in the station wagon, the mood is complicated. Behind me, Baqiao will always be marked in the deepest part of history, like a well-known friend. I seem to have come out of the Tang poetry and Song poetry, which is very heavy and relieved.
The car is getting farther and farther away from Baqiao, and everyone in the car is sleepy. Looking back out of the window, I found that Li Mountain was like a sleep, Baqiao was like a dream, and my mood was a little dull-Baqiao was really lonely.
