When I first came to Beijing, my friend told me in the letter that I got off the subway in front of Beijing Station, got off at Jishuitan Station, and then took bus No.345 to Qinghe. Theoretically, the first subway station I know is Beijing Station, but my friend said to get off at Beijing Station, so that I ignored the name of Beijing Station.
I don't really know what a jishuitan is.
Many years later, there was a viaduct outside the Second Ring Road. On the bridge, I saw a piece of water in the city I knew nothing about it at that time. I didn't know it until I visited the Capital Museum and saw the photos of Jishuitan Wharf. Isn't that Jishuitan?
I still didn't go to Jishuitan until Houhai, east of Jishuitan, became a famous bar area, and I realized Jishuitan, and I really had to visit it.
Take a bus to Deshengmen, get off the Second Ring Road and you will find a row of bungalows. In the gap of the bungalow, there is an alley connecting the Second Ring Road and Jishuitan.
Now Jishuitan has become a good place for citizens to relax. There are tourist trails around the West Sea, and there are Yeyadao in the water. In summer, the lake will be full of lotus leaves. It should be noted that the lotus leaves here are potted lotus leaves, that is, seeds are scattered in underwater pots. This landscape design may be to ensure the orderly growth and distribution of lotus leaves.
In spring, the water in the West Lake is bare. There is a bronze statue in the northwest corner of the lake. Look carefully, it is Guo Shoujing, a great scientist in Yuan Dynasty. At that moment, I seemed to have some kind of consciousness. On the small slope behind the bronze statue, there is a small temple with two horizontal rings. I felt that there should be something fishy, so I immediately climbed up.
This is really a small temple. Its name is Huitong Temple. The main entrance of the temple is closed. You can enter through the side door. This is a yard with two entrances. The plaque of "Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall" is hung on the door of the main hall in the middle.
The main hall and side hall of the quadrangle are exhibition halls, which mainly introduce Guo Shoujing's life and Beijing's water conservancy planning. Guo Shoujing is also from Xingtai, Hebei. He is a disciple of Yuan designer Liu. He followed Liu 1 1 year. He is particularly good at water resources planning. He was a great scientist in the Yuan Dynasty. He has made universally recognized achievements in the field of science, especially in the management and utilization of water resources.
According to records, he participated in many important water conservancy projects, including the Northwest Water Conservancy Project and the dredging of the Grand Canal. Of course, his greatest contribution to water conservancy is the management and planning of Beijing urban waters. He first dredged the waterways of Xiangshan Mountain, Yuquan Mountain and Wengshanpo (now the Summer Palace) into Beijing, then led the white floating water from Changping to the city, joined at Wengshanpo, and finally injected it into the Jishuitan.
Jishuitan is now the waters of the West Sea, Houhai and Qianhai. After the water area of Jishuitan was enlarged, Guo Shoujing began to dredge the waterway from the Grand Canal to Jishuitan. Through the sluice design, the grain transported from the south bank of the Grand Canal was finally transported to Jishuitan Wharf, which was the central area of the Yuan Dynasty.
Seeing the information here, I suddenly began to understand. The ruins of the Yuan capital I saw a few days ago gradually became clear in my mind. The Yuan Dynasty really left behind more than a dozen kilometers of mounds, and there were many things.
Many people who have been to Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall are "scrawled". It's as if they were in Houhai and didn't know anything. They just stared at the fence there. Even if they are a little interested in culture, they know that Nalan Xingde lived there. They don't know that Nalan Xingde's house finally turned into an alcoholic palace, the birthplace of the last emperor Puyi.
At that time, the Prince of Alcohol wanted to pass the Yindian Bridge in the northeast of Houhai. A hot-blooded young man knew this route, so he hid under the bridge in the middle of the night to load explosives and wanted to blow up the alcohol prince yesterday morning. Unexpectedly, the plan was exposed, and the young man was deeply imprisoned. At that time, he also wrote a farewell poem, "Generous stone, easy to be a prisoner of Chu." Draw a knife for quick success and instant benefit, and live up to the young head. "This young man is the big traitor Wang Jingwei later.
In front of Yinding Bridge, I still took some photos. In fact, I have taken too many photos here, and I always feel that there is something missing without taking a photo.
YinDing Qiao to Dashibei Hutong, and Yaer Hutong to the west. Many people don't know that there is a famous temple in Hutong, Guanghua Temple, where the Beijing Buddhist Association is located. The east entrance of Yaer Hutong is connected with Xie Jie, Dai Yan. The name of this street has two meanings, one is that this street is in the shape of a tobacco pouch, and the other is that snuff is sold on this street. Because the powerful classes were active in Houhai area in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xie Jie, Dai Yan was very prosperous at that time.
I want to go south when I get out of Yanyan Street, because Wanning Bridge is where I want to go. Even if I look at the water beast under the bridge, or touch the bridge after 800 years of wind and rain, and rub the granite railings eroded by wind and rain, my heart is really filled with emotion.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty was originally established in Nanjing. Later, although Judy moved to Beijing, due to the reconstruction of the Ming wall, the rivers in the city lost contact with the imperial city, and slowly, these rivers were silted up. The Jishuitan Wharf, which Qian Fan used to compete for, lost its former prosperity.
The waterway connected with Jishuitan in time, like the wall of Yuan Dynasty, slowly sank into the ground. Fortunately, with the development of civilization, modern people have begun to realize the preciousness of history. The water system of Jishuitan is slowly recovering, and the lake is beginning to bloom. There are boaters, kayakers and tourists on the shore.
Although many people don't know what to see, the spring here has left their footprints, which is enough.
