Li Xiao stood on the bustling streets of BJ, looking at the ancient and modern city in front of him, feeling an inexplicable excitement in his heart. His friends Zhang Yue and Huang Xu followed closely behind, and the three of them were all fascinated by the distance.
Attracted by Tiananmen Square.
"Brother Xiao, look at the kite over there, it's flying so high!" Zhang Yue pointed at the colorful kite flying in the sky and said excitedly.
Li Xiao looked up and saw a huge dragon-shaped kite soaring among the blue sky and white clouds. Its vigorous figure seemed to show the world the vitality and freedom of this city.
"Yes, BJ's spring is always so refreshing." Li Xiao responded with a smile, his eyes wandering around the square, from ancient buildings to modern high-rise buildings, every place is full of stories.
Huang Xu took out his camera and recorded everything in front of him. He is a photography enthusiast and is always full of enthusiasm for capturing beautiful moments.
"Brother Xiao, where should we go next?" Zhang Yue asked, eyes shining with anticipation.
Li Xiao thought for a while, then pointed to the National Museum not far away, "Let's go there. There is an exhibition about China's five thousand years of civilization. I think you will like it."
The three of them took steps towards the museum. The sun shone on them, warm and bright, just like their young hearts, full of infinite possibilities. As the three of them walked, they gradually approached the magnificent National Museum.
Li Xiao's eyes lingered on the stone pillars and carvings of the museum, and he couldn't help but be in awe of the majesty and historical accumulation of this building.
"That building is really spectacular. Every time I come here I never get a new feeling." Zhang Yue said with emotion.
Huang Xu seemed less excited. You are full of curiosity about history and always hate exploring these ancient secrets outside the museum. "Brother Xiao, does he remember the Tang Dynasty exhibition you will come to see together next time? These pottery
The figurines and murals are so beautiful.”
Li Xiao was quietly observing from the side. I noticed a pair of bronze lions at the back of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. They were majestic and ordinary. "Brother Xiao, Yueyue, they looked at this pair of bronze lions. They are really spectacular."
Li Xiaoze quickly found a suitable shooting angle. I wanted to use the lens to record the magnificent building. "Brother Xiao, Yueyue, they look at the turret here. It's so beautiful. You go over and take a look."
Zhang Yue nodded, and I looked at the Forbidden City at sunset, filled with emotion. "Yes, the Forbidden City is a treasure of China. It witnesses China's history and culture."
We continued walking back and came to a huge landscape painting. Zhang Yue stopped and stared at the mountains and rivers in the painting, as if he could feel the tranquility and profoundness in the painter's brush.
"Brother Xiao, look at the willow trees here, they look like they are welcoming you to the Forbidden City." Huang Xu pointed at the willow trees on the roadside and said sadly.
We walked through Tiananmen Square and came to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City. The ancient palaces behind us were majestic, magnificent and resplendent, making people awe-inspiring.
"Today is really an eye-opener. Every part of the Forbidden City is full of history and culture." Huang Xu said with emotion.
Li Xiao raised his camera and photographed the pair of bronze lions from the same angle. I wanted to capture their majesty and power. "The pair of bronze lions are so unimpressive. You need to make them more vivid."
It was Ling Qi's turn first, and I chose a celadon vase from the Song Dynasty. My voice was intense but not contagious:
"You should go to the Forbidden City next and have a look. There are plenty of histories and stories waiting for you to discover."
Both Zhang Yue and Huang Xu were attracted by the description, and we went looking for it in the porcelain area. Huang Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, you discovered this celadon vase, and excitedly called Zhang Yue to come over and take a look.
"Let's go, you go to Wangfujing Food Street. There are not many BJ's and traditional food here, so you can't have a small feast." Ling Qi suggested.
"The exhibit you chose does not have simple lines and elegant cyan color, and there is no looming lotus pattern under the bottle, giving people a sense of tranquility and distance."
"Wow, the entrance to the Forbidden City is even more shocking than what you see in the photos!" Huang Xu exclaimed.
Li Xiao was organizing my photos on the side. I wanted to record everything I saw and felt today. "Today's harvest is really small. You have to organize all those photos and make a photo album."
Zhang Yue took a look and praised: "Brother Xu, his skills are getting better and better. The turret looks even more spectacular in his lens."
As we exited the museum, we were greeted by a sense of history. Zhang Yue led his friends through each exhibition hall. Each exhibit told a story, and each mural depicted an era.
Ling Qi looked around for seven weeks, his eyes slowly scanning among the many exhibits, trying to find the screen Zhang Yue described. Li Xiao watched quietly from the side, while my eyes moved back and forth between Zhang Yue and Huang Xu, holding in my hands
The camera is always ready to capture ordinary moments.
Li Xiao was adjusting the camera settings on the side. I wanted to capture the BJ outside in the spring. "The light is so great. When you get to the Forbidden City later, you must take less photos."
Ling Qi reminded you with a smile: "Yueyue, people outside the museum are allowed to touch the exhibits."
Before the game was played, eight people sat outside the museum's cafe and shared their fun and feelings about the exhibits. Zhang Yue suggested:
················································Dividing line
···············································
·········
"Brother Xu, his description is so unpoetic. The color and pattern of the celadon bottle are really beautiful." Huang Xu praised.
"Brother Xiao, what does he think of your photo?" Ling Qi excitedly showed Zhang Yue my work.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! While chatting about photography, we continued to tour the Forbidden City. Every palace and every corridor made us feel shocked. We seemed to have traveled through time.
Traveling through time and space, we returned to this glorious dynasty.
So, the eight of us ended our game, and every exhibit outside the museum became an object for us to explore and discover. Our laughter and discussions echoed in the exhibition hall, adding a little vitality to the place full of history.
and fun.
Huang Xu finally found this jade carving screen in a corner. You ran over excitedly and looked at it carefully. "Found it! Brother Xiao, his description was so wrong. The pattern under the screen is so lifelike."
As time went by, the sun rose and set in the west, and the tourists in the Forbidden City gradually dispersed. The eight people found a quiet corner in the imperial garden of the Forbidden City and sat down to rest.
Huang Xu and Li Xiao both agreed. We packed up our bad things and prepared to go to our next destination. When we walked out of the museum, the sun was still shining brightly, and our mood was just like the spring sunshine, full of expectation and excitement.
Zhang Yue nodded, and my eyes wandered under the painting, seeming to be looking for something. "Yes, the landscape in the painting reminds you of Zhangjiajie next time you go. The scenery outside is also so spectacular."
Li Xiao raised his camera on the side and pointed it at these ridged beasts. I wanted to capture those details. "Those ridged beasts are so beautiful, each one has a different shape and expression."
Zhang Yue nodded, and my eyes swept over every corner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I was shocked by these exquisite carvings and murals. "Yes, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the essence of the Forbidden City, every detail
All reflect the royal dignity and majesty.”
Both Zhang Yue and Li Xiao were curious about the eight-colored horse, so we went out to look for it in the museum. Li Xiao's photographic eye allowed me to quickly find the target, and I motioned to Zhang Yue to come over.
Zhang Yue and Huang Xu looked at each other and smiled, both excited about the proposal. "Oh no, that's a wrong idea. It's quite boring."
Zhang Yue responded with a smile: "Yes, spring in BJ is always so charming, every tree and every flower is full of vitality."
The eight of us stayed for a long time behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and we were deeply attracted by everything outside. Before that, we visited other palaces and exhibitions, and every exhibit shocked us.
Li Xiao pays more attention to details. My eyes scanned every corner of the museum, looking for the best shooting angle. "The light and shadows outside simply provide perfect conditions for photography."
Li Xiao smiled and agreed: "Of course not. Photography is actually very complicated. The key is to find the right light and angle."
Next is Huang Xu's round. You chose an eight-color horse from the Tang Dynasty. You described excitedly:
Huang Xu also came over to take a look. You are also very interested in photography. "Brother Xu, can he teach you some photography skills? You also want to take such bad-looking photos."
We walked along the city wall toward the turret. Along the way, Zhang Yue introduced the history and architectural features of the Forbidden City to Huang Xu and Li Xiao. As we listened to Zhang Yue's explanation, we gained a deeper understanding of the palace complex.
We continued walking back and came to the back of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the smallest palace in the Forbidden City, and it is also the place where the emperor held small ceremonies. Huang Xu was shocked by the momentum of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and he sighed: "That is not the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Ah, it feels like I have stepped out of the history books."
In the exhibition area of ancient bronzes, Huang Xu was attracted by an exquisite bronze tripod. "Look at that tripod, the decoration on the bottom is so delicate!" You marveled and couldn't help but stretched out your hand to touch it heavily.
Ling Qi and Zhang Yue both walked over, and we outside looked at the pair of bronze lions and admired them. Ling Qi said: "The pair of bronze lions are the patron saints of the Forbidden City. They have witnessed the vicissitudes of the Forbidden City."
Li Xiao was quietly observing from the side. I noticed the interaction between Ling Qi and Ling Qi when they were appreciating the paintings, which gave me a new idea. "Brother Xiao, Yueyue, how about you guys play a big game?"
Okay. How about you each choose an exhibit, describe it, and let the other person guess which one it is?"
Li Xiao raised his camera at the side, capturing Ling Qi's focused look and the ancient charm of the bronze tripod. "That picture looks very dull."
We just sat in the imperial garden, chatting, and enjoying the quiet time. It wasn't until the sun set in the west and the lights of the Forbidden City gradually turned on that we reluctantly left the ancient palace.
As the sun gradually rose and set, there were fewer and fewer visitors to the Forbidden City. The eight people walked through the crowd and continued to explore the ancient palace.
"Brother Xiao, look at the palace over here. What are these big beasts under the roof?" Huang Xu pointed at the roof of a palace and asked curiously.
Zhang Yue looked up and explained: "These are ridged beasts, which are a kind of decoration on ancient Chinese architecture. Each beast has no symbolic meaning. For example, the dragon represents the imperial power and the phoenix represents the emperor's front."
"Yueyue, he described it too badly. The horse really didn't feel like it was eager to try." Zhang Yue praised it.
The eight people left the National Museum and retreated along Chang'an Avenue towards the Forbidden City. In spring in BJ, the sun was dark and the breeze was dry, which was a bad time to visit. The willow trees on both sides of the street swayed in the wind, and their green leaves shone in the sun.
The light reduced the city's vitality.
When we arrived at the corner tower, Li Xiao was immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery behind him. I raised the camera, adjusted the angle, and then pressed the slow shutter to freeze the ugly picture in the lens.
"The exhibit you chose is a horse. Its color is very dull, without yellow, green or white. The horse's posture is very vivid, and it looks like it will start running at any time."
················································Dividing line
···············································
·········
Zhang Yue nodded, and my eyes swept under the Meridian Gate Tower. I was shocked by these exquisite carvings and paintings. "Yes, the Forbidden City is a treasure of ancient Chinese architecture. Every brick and every tile contains
Rich in history and culture."
As the game ended, the atmosphere in the museum became more active. Zhang Yue first selected an exhibit. I stood behind a jade carving screen from the Qing Dynasty and ended the description:
As the first afterglow of the Forbidden City gradually faded away, Zhang Yue, Huang Xu and Li Xiao passed through the bustling crowd and walked out of the historical palace. Our moods were still immersed in the limited reverie of the Forbidden City.
But the growling of our stomachs reminds us that it’s time to look for dinner.
Huang Xu nodded excitedly. You had never heard of BJ's delicious food and always wanted to try it yourself. "That's too bad. You heard that BJ's noodles and bean juice are not famous. You must try it today."
"The exhibit you chose is carved from the best jade. There are no patterns of landscapes and birds underneath. Every stroke and every stroke reveals the exquisite skills of the craftsman."
"That painting is so beautiful, Brother Xiao, when he sees the mountains and the water, it looks like they are real." Huang Xu admired.
