Legends and stories in Beijing
Tiananmen Square in Beijing is a great building that everyone knows! The history of Tiananmen Square and the architecture of Tiananmen Square are not mentioned by storytellers. Let's say two stone lions in front of Tiananmen Square and south of Jinshui Bridge. Why is there a deep hole in the lion's stomach? This brings us to the story of Li Zicheng, the king of breakthrough, who went to Beijing.
The peasant uprising army in Li Chuangwang, starting from Yan 'an, Shaanxi Province, destroyed the gates and cities of the Ming Dynasty like a bamboo, and arrived in Beijing on April 25th, 1644 (the 19th day of the third lunar month). At this time, an "emperor" in the late Ming Dynasty hanged himself on a locust tree in Jingshan the night before. The officials guarding the city are all "eunuchs". What can I do? Li Chuangwang soldiers stormed the gate, and the eunuch guarding Guang 'anmen immediately opened the gate to meet Li Chuangwang. Li Chuangwang entered Guang 'anmen. Soon, he came to the front door (Zhengyangmen). The general guarding the front door is said to be Li Guozhen, who fought against Chessboard Street. Li Guozhen refused to open the city, and the two sides launched a battle to attack and defend the city. Li Guozhen knew very well that he could not resist the soldiers who attacked the king, so he ran away alone. Where is the Ming army guarding the city? Nature is to open the city gate to meet the king. Li Chuangwang took the lead, led the troops into the front door, crossed the chessboard street, and entered the "Daming Gate" (Daming Gate was renamed Daqing Gate in the Qing Dynasty, and Zhonghua Gate after the Republic of China, and we still call it Zhonghua Gate. To the north of Zhonghua Gate is the Monument to the People's Heroes. Far away, I saw a tall arch with five people empty. Niu Jinxing, the prime minister, said to Wang Chuang, "Your Majesty, that is the' Chengtianmen' in the Ming Dynasty (1651changed its name to Tiananmen Square in, and the archway was abolished, and now it is Tiananmen Square). The' imperial edict' of the Ming Chengzu who suffered from the people came from this door! " Li Chuangwang already hated Ming Chengzu. Hearing the words of the Prime Minister, he became even more angry. He uttered a sound in his nose, immediately took off his hard bow with a bronze tire and an iron back, and pulled out a carved arrow. The horse goes forward, not too far from Chengtianmen, and the word "Chengtianmen" can already be seen on the archway. King Chuang raised his bow, recognized the buckle, pulled the string, and the arrow went out with a bang. King Chuang shouted, "I told you to go back to heaven!" " "It all happened at the same time: the bowstring rang, the king shouted, and Li Chuangwang's words didn't stop. The arrow has shot into the sky above Tianmen, and not only the soldiers of the rebel army shouted long live, but also the officers and men who surrendered in the Ming Dynasty were shocked.
King Chuang put a hard bow on his back, took off his forged iron and steel gun, urged his horse with his gun and approached Chengtianmen. Look, there are two Chinese watches and two white lions in the south of Chengtianmen Gate, and two white lions in the north of Chengtianmen Gate. Don't say that fancy watch, just say that these four white marble lions are beautifully carved. Two stone lions in the east, with their right paws on a hydrangea, tilted their heads slightly to the east, but their eyes looked at the west; Two stone lions in the west, with their left paws on a little lion, tilted their heads slightly to the west, but their eyes looked east, as if staring at the middle road. Chu Zhuangwang is visiting these stone carvings with the prime minister and generals. Suddenly a soldier shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful, the lion is moving!" " "Wang Chuang shouted," nonsense! Can a stone lion move? "It turns out that the king has long seen that there is a problem behind the lion. As he spoke, he urged the horse with a gun and rushed to the Shishi in the east. Bang, there was a bullet hole in the belly of Shishi, and Mars exploded. I saw a figure coming straight to the Shishi in the west. The soldiers shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful, there are enemies! ""King Chuang has beaten the lion's paw and saw a general of the Ming Dynasty hiding in the northwest of the lion. He pretended not to know and waved to the generals. The generals understood the meaning of King Chuang, and he stuck his gun in the stone lion in the west. At the same time, the generals surrounded the Shishi in the west and arrested Li Guozhen, the general of the Ming Dynasty. From here on, both stone lions have a loophole. The king entered the Tianmen Gate, and the Ming Dynasty died.

4. Li Bai
Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone.
Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people.
The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind.
I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring.
The song I sing is bright and wandering, and I dance the shadow before wandering.
Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness.
I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way.
