As a native of Wuxi, I didn't know much about the ancient canal before, but now I think it's a shame.
Now I cross the canal every day, but I don't know anything about the river under the bridge, just like my mother does it for me every day, but I don't know anything about her love.
Hello ancient canal, my mother river!
I don't know that Wuxi has a long history, but I think Wuxi is an unknown town and has never been famous in the world.
In fact, in the long history of Wuxi, there have been many dazzling stars, such as Taibo's "Three Concessions and Two Boundaries", Ji Zha's "Last Three Concessions" and Wu Zixu's Wucheng Chuixiao ... In the meantime, an ancient canal with far-reaching influence appeared.
From her appearance, it is accompanied by an extraordinary breath: 2500 years ago, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, dug ditches to cut Qi; 1400 years ago, Yang Di dug the Jiangnan Canal; 1292, Yuan Shizu completed the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal ... For more than 2,500 years, the ancient canal has experienced vicissitudes, just like my mother has been busy for me, bearing the prosperity and profound culture precipitated by Wuxi's long history.
Thank you for raising generations of Wuxi people, hello ancient canal, my mother river!
You see, there is a bustling Beitang rice market near Sanli Bridge with a wide river.
The grand occasion of the peak of the ancient canal in Ming and Qing dynasties seems to appear in front of us. The prosperity of rice market has promoted the prosperity of all walks of life in Wuxi. People come and go along the canal, and there are many commercial ports. Businessmen from all over the country get together to discuss business and trade, and there are endless ships. The warehouse is full of food, and commodity trade has promoted economic prosperity.
Don't forget, this is just a small material wealth brought by the ancient canal to the people of Wuxi.
Hello, ancient canal, my mother river!
The ancient canal, let me also describe the infinite scenery brought by your meticulous work:
Look, what's the name of the island in the river? It's called Huangbudun, also known as Xiaojinshan, and it's named after Spring (Huang Xie) once managed Furong Lake here.
There is a righteous building above to commemorate the anti-Yuan hero Wen Tianxiang.
According to Wang Shuiji's "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of Western Hills" in the Ming Dynasty, there are old Wenchang Pavilion, Huancui Building and Shuiyuexuan on Huangbu Pier, which are shaded by weeping willows.
"Wen Tianxiang left a poem here," Ran Ran in Jinshan is full of rain, while Chun Mu is full of tin plants ".
Where is the most beautiful place? At Qingming Bridge.
I was lucky enough to have a quick look.
This is the most distinctive water town scenery in Wuxi.
The houses in the Qingming Bridge case are strewn at random, with docks, stone ports and white walls and tiles, just like ink paintings written by painters, which make people feel an ancient and long-lasting atmosphere, a harmonious and quiet atmosphere.
If there are no busy people, will they suddenly immerse themselves in the water lane with the gurgling water and the sound of paddles, and get drunk and not wake up? Qingming Bridge is like a beautiful and lovely girl with soft long hair, which can only be bred like a river in the south of the Yangtze River. She pursed her lips and stubbornly wanted to dress up on this rippling canal.
Qingming Bridge is the symbol of the ancient canal, the symbol of prosperity and the epitome of culture.
Wuxi people are proud to have such a stone arch bridge with a history of more than 400 years, and Qingming Bridge can only be regarded as an elderly and amiable sister. What is more worthy of our pride than our mother river? Hello ancient canal, my mother river!
The Grand Canal has been flowing for more than 1000 years, draining the rapids and cleaning up the smoke of war and the dirt on earth. She has taken on too many heavy responsibilities and witnessed the ups and downs of honor and disgrace, but she has consistently nurtured Wuxi people from generation to generation.
With the advent of the era of peace, history has turned a new page. The ancient canal didn't slack off. It was trying to make her children stronger.
The children of the new era decorate their mothers with new makeup, and a brand-new canal leaps above the grand plan. The ancient canal, which embodies the sweat and wisdom of the ancient working people in China, is full of vitality after several generations of hard work and sweat, and history and reality are intertwined into a magnificent picture.
I thought to myself: sitting on the tip of the boat, facing the cool autumn wind, feeling the cool water vapor of the new canal, and there were whistles in my ears.
Looking up at the clear night sky, you can daydream and look at the scenery. The magnificent bridge on the river is covered with colorful lights, or it leaps into the air or stands tall. The lights on the bridge are flashing and full of busyness and vitality.
There are many tall buildings on both sides, and the neon lights are flashing, as if to announce that we are the masters of the new century! The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the scenery in front of me is hazy ... ah! Without your's cultivation and selfless dedication, how could Wuxi have such a scene? Hello, the Grand Canal, my mother river! !
How many times the afterglow of the sunset shines on the water, how many leaf boats float across the bridge, how many sleepless nights look at the sky alone ... The ancient canal, I can't repay your kindness, and I hate my ignorance, and I can't put all my praise into my pen. I can only hide my love in my heart shyly and express my gratitude to you with little gestures! My dear and lovely ancient canal that has worked hard for us for thousands of years, hello, hello!
Postscript: This "writing exercise" should be an introductory composition that my son was preparing last Saturday.
I clearly remember that he and his classmate Mei occupied the computer in the office for a whole afternoon, and carefully consulted more than 6,000 words of historical materials about Wuxi ancient canal, and the pictures were hard to find. Before I started writing last Sunday morning, I watched The Legend of Wuxi many times. After that, I announced in my ear: I'm ready to write! Towards evening, the composition to be entered was finished.
After school this Saturday, I happily brought back the news that I was selected for the primary election, and also brought back the business card and task of Chinese teacher Hu Gao Feng: I asked to send the electronic manuscript to the teacher's mailbox.
These two days, my son and I have been typing and revising, which is a great pleasure; In the case of reading aloud, he also heard several unreasonable places and turned around the room several times, which was also enjoyable.
No matter what the result is, the children's participation in this process is full of deep affection for their hometown, sincere praise for the ancient canal and wishes for the success of Wuxi's application for the World Heritage!
