It's snowing!
Since the night of December 10, snowflakes have been falling in various parts of Beijing, and the first snowfall of this winter has arrived as scheduled. Early the next morning, the streets of Beijing were already covered in snow. The blue bricks and gray tiles are transformed into a snowy world, and walking through the streets and alleys, it is as if you can hear whispers from thousands of years ago.
The snow inlaid with red walls is the winter Beiping in memory.
As soon as it snows, Beijing becomes Beiping. Writer Yin Lichuan went to Houhai for a drink on a snowy day and wrote in her blog after returning.
Beijing is busy and noisy, and the crowd is in a hurry, showing the title of a modern city all the time, like a huge cotton candy machine that keeps rolling. And a heavy snowfall, enough to cover the entire city of Beijing, but also cover a lot of modern atmosphere, crowded and noisy sidewalks, towering skyscrapers are dotted with snow, at that moment of Beijing, like the first time of Beiping City.
There are thousands of snow scenes in Beiping, but the snow in the Forbidden City is unforgettable. The white snow is inlaid with red walls, broken and falling Qiongfang, red palace walls, yellow glazed tiles, and snowflakes flying in the sky ......Every time it snows, the Forbidden City, which is more than 600 years old, must be filled early, and when the snowflakes fall, there are "concubines" and "mothers" who rush to stand under the snowy eaves and listen to the sound of snow falling.
Not only that, but there are many cities in China that have traveled back thousands of years in the snow. "Once you step into the picture scroll, you dream back to a thousand years in one day", when Ruixue hits Kaifeng, the ancient capital of Kaifeng, which has a past life and a present life, it can be said that a snow becomes a "Bianliang"!The ancient city, temples, remnant snow, the scenery in the Qingming Shanghe Park is breathtaking.
If you want to talk about the winter snow scene, you have to mention Xi'an. "The most beautiful is Chang'an snow", when the heavy snow covers the traces of modern Xi'an, the ancient bell tower and mottled city wall seem to travel through time and space, telling the story of the prosperity of Chang'an in the past.

Like feathers and catkins, Chinese romance is hidden in the snow.
Since ancient times, snowy scenes have always left a lasting impression on people. In fact, the origin of snow is as romantic as the beauty it presents. According to ancient records, "Snow, Suiye, condensed when the water meets the cold, Suiran also descends." Among them, the word "Sui" here means soothing. For this reason, snow is seen as a phenomenon in which water vapor in the sky cools to below zero degrees Celsius and then slowly falls.
In the oracle bone inscription, the word "snow" is a huiyi character, the upper part of which is rain, and the lower part is feather, symbolizing white light fluff, which is a metaphor for ice crystals flying in the air, like white feathers. In the small seal inscription, the word "snow" is a shape and sound word, the upper part of the glyph is still "rain", the meaning of the word, and the lower part evolves into "comet", the sound of the word, and the glyph of snow is basically fixed.
In addition to the falling feathers, the ancients described "snow" many times, all of which contain Chinese romance. "Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom", in the Tang Dynasty poet Cen Shen's pen, snowflakes are compared to the same white pear blossoms. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Prime Minister Xie An pointed to the sprinkling snow and asked, "What does the snow look like?"His niece Xie Daoyun said, "If the catkins are not raised by the wind", it is to compare the snowflakes to the appearance of the catkins being blown by the wind in spring.

In the year of Ruixue Mega, all good things will come as promised.
Legend has it that the "Gu Shooting Fairy" is known as the god of snow. In the Song Dynasty, Qiu Chuji wrote in "Wu Vulgar Thoughts: Lingxu Palace Pear Blossom Words", "It looks like a real person, the sky is beautiful, and the spirit is comfortable and noble." "Snow is like a fairy with ice and jade, and since then it has been endowed with the meaning of noble and white.
Ruixue Mega Year". In ancient times, the snow in the eyes of the ancients also implied the meaning of a good harvest. After the snow falls every winter, the thick snow seems to cover the crops with a layer of quilts, which can keep the crops warm during the winterWhen the weather warms up and the snow melts, it can store moisture in the land. Therefore, winter snow also indicates that the coming year will be a good harvest and a good omen for the crops.
Nowadays, snow is more than given people's expectations and aspirations for a better life. Every time the snow falls, the state of the whole city and the state of the people are changed. Life slows down, people slow down, and the snow makes people willing to let go of many thoughts in reality, go back to the past, go back to the past, and feel the tranquility and beauty brought by snow.
The snow is falling, and the moment you raise your eyes, you dream back to China. Whether it is the charm of the south of the Yangtze River, or the scenery of the north, or the heroic ...... of the northwestSnow, quietly coming, brings infinite surprises to people.
