On the summer night of 2008, the moon was very bright, but the stars were very few. I walked to Changbei District of Nanchang City and visited Honggutan. I saw the intersection of Ganjiang River and Fuhe River, and the scenery was spectacular. There are many tall buildings on the bank of the river, and they are exquisite and exquisite. The place between Zhouzhu shrouded in haze is Tengwang Pavilion. Suddenly I began to recite the poem "Autumn Water and Falling Clouds", and I was particularly interested. Xiaoyaozi said: "How about taking advantage of the clear breeze and bright moon to watch the musical fountain in Qiushui Square together? It's really a feast for the eyes." Fenghua smiled slightly and nodded to follow. Xiaoyaozi said: "Qiushui Square is the most fun place on summer nights, a place for leisure and nourishment. The starlight and moonlight reflect each other in the sky, the lights of the buildings in the distance are bright, and the splashing water columns of the fountain form a gorgeous and magnificent scene. "The wise brother should recite poems and write poems to record it." Looking at Tengwang Pavilion in the distance, Fenghua thought for a while and said: "It is a hot summer day in Nanchang, and the sunset gradually fades away. Nanchang, the capital of Hong Kong, enters the night, and the lights and shadows are intertwined in the Qiushui Square. For a long time, beside the long embankment of Ganjiang River, the bustling scene is like brocade. The two ends of the red valley beach are surrounded by rotating light; beside the fountain of Qiushui Square, I yearn for the majesty and charm of Tengwang Pavilion in the breeze, wandering back and forth to the fountain pool many times, looking around. Watching with open heart, I want to hold half of the moon in my hands. The powerful current of the Gan River, the merchant ships are moored at the ferry, and the gentle breeze ripples the reflection of the water, reflecting countless soft water marks. At this time, dusk closed on the left side of the Lantern Tower, and music sounded on the west side of the Willow Bridge. Xiaoyaozi leaned on the guardrail of the river and clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "The breeze blows on my face, the music is like flowing water, and the colorful lights are scattered in all directions. How should I describe it?" Fenghua walked back and forth in silence, and replied calmly: "Listen When this kind of music is played, the sound of the silk pipes is like wisps of smoke coming from all directions, and the waves are flying in the sky when angry, and the butterflies are chasing the catkins when they are happy. The petrels are flying in the low altitude; when they are forgetful, their sleeves are fluttering in the wind. The light and shadow set off the waves of the autumn water; the mood is proud, and the light waves follow the rhythm, as if it is the beautiful music of the Langyuan gods, and it seems to be the classic of the Yaochi fairyland. Song. This is the movement of Qiu Shui Square, which is actually the prelude to the musical fountain. Suddenly, the colorful fireworks shine together, and the Qiu Shui fountain flashes, as if the phoenix screen unfolds, and the music in the sky gradually disappears with the fountain. Xianran soared into the sky with a very spectacular momentum. Xiaoyaozi pointed and asked: "The musical fountain has begun to appear. There are thousands of changes. How to describe it?" "This situation can be said to be the best state in the world. It is a dream-like state and mist like clouds. Fenghua said in admiration: "It's really spectacular! Stars and moonlight were twinkling, and colorful lights were scattered. The music suddenly sounded after getting lost, and the fountain spouted water and flashed in an astonishing way. The frost flowers overlap and stand like swords arranged by the breeze; the jade pillars fly horizontally, and their momentum is like gods arranged in the fog. Faintly, the free light and shadow are soft and graceful; among the chaos, the shining jewels sparkle brilliantly. The autumn water fountain dances like a rainbow, and the green leaves of lotus flowers are constantly floating in the summer. The falling snow drops are like stars, appreciating the nobility and elegance of the neon clothes; the flying water petals are like dots of pen and ink, and the swaying jade belt is colorful. "The music suddenly stopped, and the fountain disappeared silently in an instant. The gentle breeze accompanied the shadow of the building, making people feel drunk and infatuated; the river and sky accompanied the autumn water spring pool, like painting and poetry. Xiaoyaozi said with a smile: "This is the intermission of the fountain. After a while, It will sound again, so just watch it quietly for now. "After a while, music sounded, light waves flowed, fountains gushed out, and rainbows arched high. The branches showed white jade stamens, as graceful as flying geese; a curtain-like layer of fog hung from a high place, as graceful as a swimming dragon. Snowflakes condense the soul of flowers and decorate beauties; ice cubes merge with the soul of the moon, rippling the moon palace of laurel trees.

The woman with snow-skinned face and beautiful face is like holding a jug in the Orchid Pavilion and serving wine to people; the talented people led by E Guan are just like the beautiful jade trees in the wind. The emerald curtain is decorated with tassels, hiding the flower fairy; the Penglai fairyland singing and dancing banquet is flanked by a wine-poetry boy. Even so, the beautiful scenery is still very changeable and fascinating. Its shape is strange and elusive, and it is really difficult to fully describe it. Fenghua praised: "The charm of Qiushui Square lies in the fountain leaping into the sky. If Wang Bo were born again, he would definitely write a gorgeous article. This scenery is really beautiful, like embroidery and smoke. To describe its magnificence, it is like the sea hanging down. The mountain is abrupt and abrupt; describing its strangeness is like a colorful dream; commenting on its brilliance is like a light, soft and graceful posture; reading about its beauty, it can be said to be free and unrestrained, twists and turns; the number of tourists is like a mighty and rushing river. Dajiang; the tasteful specifications are like a picture painted with natural craftsmanship. This is the unique bright colored satin, the beautiful appearance of the newly built mansion. Not long after, the river breeze blew slightly, and I toasted with my friends and talked freely. When it comes to cultural destiny, it is like the ups and downs of autumn water fountains. There are always regular movements of light, but how can we achieve it if we want to shake the earth and the sky? The banks of the Ganjiang River record the beautiful scenery, and when we enter the realm, we can only see the fountain water. The waterfall is dyed purple, the crystal gems glow with blue light, the water curtain gradually spreads, and a slight chill comes over the moon palace. The charm of this autumn water fountain is like poetry and meditation. Maybe everyone has different understandings. My feelings were still lingering, so I recited a poem to commemorate it. The poem said: The illusion of light does not remember the years, the sunset has dispersed and the light smoke has dispersed. The shadow of the imperial pavilion is reflected in the distance, and the petals are flying on the red valley beach. The heroes of the ages are chasing the waves, and a bay of lights is sent. The poem returns. There are real talents in Hongdu, and they chant to the distant sky by the river.
