Wang Xin

Unknown Gentleman:

Hello!Zhan Xinjia.

After I sent you the last letter, I went to Beijing, the capital of China, with my grandmother and aunt.I expected to receive your reply when I came back, so I was right.I received your gift together, but I read the letter first and then opened the gift.Therefore, I have lived up to your desire to give me a surprise.I really like it very much, but I take the liberty to think that you did it yourself, right?Hehe, it really looks like a Chinese knot. However, if you want to learn Chinese handicrafts next time, you can tell me, and I can teach you how to make them by drawing pictures.However, as far as this gift is concerned, your manual talent is still good, thank you~~

I have already been to the city I went to this time with my parents. Last time, because I joined a tour group, we didn’t go to many interesting attractions. Most of them followed the tour guide to go shopping around.This time I went, although my mother was no longer there, and my father stayed at home because of company affairs. Only my grandma and aunt went together, but I still gained a lot.Beijing is located in the northern part of the North China Plain, backed by Yanshan Mountain, adjacent to Tianjin City and Hebei Province.It is one of the "eight ancient capitals" in China, has 7 world heritage sites, and is the city with the largest number of world cultural heritage sites in the world. Historic sites and cultural landscapes.Compared with when we visited a few years ago, today's Beijing has developed into a modern international metropolis.

Because we have enough time this time, we are more interested in visiting Beijing's customs and historical natural landscapes. We chose to give up on the modern repaired park landscapes.First, we went to the Forbidden City, the residence of ancient Chinese emperors.The Forbidden City is located in the center of Beijing, also known as the "Forbidden City".24 emperors once lived here. It was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is now called the "Palace Museum".The entire building of the Forbidden City is resplendent and majestic. It is known as one of the five largest palaces in the world and is listed as a "World Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO.The palace building of the Forbidden City is the largest and most complete ancient building complex in China, with a total area of ​​more than 72 square meters. It is said that there are 9999 and a half palace rooms. It is called "the sea of ​​palaces".Whether it is the layout, three-dimensional effect, or the majestic form, it can be called an unparalleled masterpiece.I walked inside, looked at the towering walls, imagined how the people who lived here lived in the past, and felt the weight of history, which made me feel extremely proud.

Secondly, we went to the Great Wall. I don’t know if you have heard a saying: “If you don’t reach the Great Wall, you are not a good man.” Although I don’t know who said this sentence, but when I climbed the Great Wall For a moment, I felt that this sentence was very correct.In the ancient times of our country, the reason why the Great Wall was repaired was to resist the invasion of the Saibei nomadic tribe alliance.After the changes of dynasties, the Great Wall gradually formed its current scale.After carefully looking at every brick and stone on the Great Wall, I can't help but admire the ancient architects of our country. They are very smart. Without the help of modern technology, they can create such a great building. It's really amazing. of greatness.

Again, we went to the courtyards and hutongs in Beijing. Although the courtyards and hutongs were gradually demolished with the development of the times and urban planning, because they are ancient historical buildings in our country, in order to preserve the history, our country’s The leaders left some courtyard houses and alleys to become scenic spots.When we went to visit, there were still people living inside, some even four generations of a family living together, divided into the front yard and the back yard, which surprised me very much. After all, most people now choose to live separately. Avoid unnecessary conflicts.However, probably the rich history makes people's hearts kind. Everyone living in the courtyard is very kind.

Finally, we went to the famous Fayuan Temple in Beijing.Fayuan Temple is located on the east side of the south end of Jiaozi Hutong outside Xuanwumen, Beijing. It was built in the 19th year of Emperor Taizong Zhenguan (AD 645). It is the oldest famous temple in Beijing. It was Minzhong Temple in Tang Dynasty. In 1956, the Chinese Buddhist Academy was established in the temple, and in 1980, the Chinese Buddhist Library and Cultural Relics Museum was established in the temple. It is a religious museum affiliated to the Chinese Buddhist Association.In this temple, I met an eminent monk, who could easily see the sadness in my heart. He didn't say much, but put his hand on top of my head and said: "Everything has its own meaning." A cause must have an effect, and the donor does not need to be obsessed." I thought, this should be to let me let go of my sadness.

By the way, when this letter arrives in your hands, you should be in the holidays from elementary school to junior high school.I really envy you that you can enter junior high school smoothly, and I wish you a happy entrance and academic progress.

May you and your family be in good health.Looking forward to your next letter!
