explore the new life

 In a few days it is China’s National Day, and this year is the 60th anniversary of National Day, the government has given a great deal of attention, people have a saying “Every five years there will be a small-scale celebration, every ten years there will be a large-scale celebration.” So this year’s National Day is bound to be a grand festival.
The last time I remember watching the military parade was in 1999, the 50th anniversary of the National Day ceremony, the twinkling of an eye a decade later, my life has changed greatly after graduating from university, I have a good  work, have my own car. . .
 The countries are also developing rapidly, like the original, there are only two subway lines in Beijing, but now there are eight lines throughout various places in Beijing and other aspects of the rapid changes have taken place, which I will elaborate on the future articles.
 Although China there are still many shortcomings, I am also have some disappointments on the current social and life sometimes, but overall is still good, I am proud I am a Chinese.

Temple of Heaven, one of Beijing’s most famous parks,is also the park to which I have been most.
We are from the Temple of Heaven East Gate into the park,first into the eyes is a long road, both sides planted with tall trees. Walking on the roadside tree-lined track, you will find that many elderly people here doing morning exercises everyday, the Temple of Heaven Park was originally a gathering place for the elderly, and even this effect has been higher than its original “Scenic Area” feature.

Through the still blue glazed tile roof of the Chi-year door, and finally saw this disturbing or building -if  come here early in morning,  not many people, tourists are not many, stand on the tidy three-story white jade with a triple-story platform and glazed tiles, the tall buildings gives people a feeling of suffocation!
This is the real building, is the real mystery, and connect with God – it’s every inch of skin, every skeleton has reached a perfect relationship. It is not superfluous of its every detail is , and all have a special moral of it. Temple construction, architecture and ritual, architecture and Confucianism, construction and mysterious culture of the perfect integration of its beauty, so I can not use language to describe, except to say that this is too beautiful, too beautiful. 
 Temple of Heaven of the Inner Temple, many say, four pillars representatives throughout the year, mid-year, 10 months on behalf of Kim Joo-12, the outer layer 12 on behalf of Kim Joo-day, 12 hour, add up to a total of 28 columns on behalf of 28 stars, plus  eight children columns, representing 36 Tian-gang – this set is different from the modulus of the system geometry and Baroque architecture modulus for the system’s concern more than that was of a blend of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and the three special psychological behavior. The room at the top of Kowloon caisson is painting a masterpiece of Chinese architecture – complex but not play, is in line with the spirit of Confucian Doctrine of the Mean.
 After Qi Niandian, there is HuangQiandian, for worship God and royal ancestors. Remains clean and purge of blue glazed tile roof under the sun in the morning and thorough projection of a beautiful light and shadow – a shadow effect for the builders to pursue a lifetime, yet only in such a place on the Heavenly Road can only be appears.
 The magic is not only the Temple of Heaven, however, lies in its architecture, but rather it has become a combination of ritual and secular place of. Walk promenade, which is still the elderly morning exercises, pull erhu, and singing Peking Opera, and training the chorus, they Qi Niandian tall spire in the lower trunk with their own affairs, ordinary and mundane. The towering background of the Temple of Heaven, in this moment has become a kind of background – the Royal, the noble ritual of cultural eventually lost to the secular culture.

Beihai Park located in central Beijing,it is one of the oldest and most authentically perserved imperial gardens in China. It has more than 1000 years history.
Beihai has existed throughout the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most of the standing buildings were constructed during Emperor Qianlong’s regin in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 A.D.).
Beihai was opened to the public in 1925 and in 1961 it was one of the first important cultural sites placed under protection by the State Council. The park occupies an area of 69 hectares including a 39-hectare lake. In the garden, pavilions and towers nestle amid the beautiful scenery of lakes and hills,grass and trees. Beihai is a gem of garden art, carrying on the traditions of garden landscaping of ancient China .
In my mind, the Beihai Park is a nice place, beautiful wide lake, looks relaxed and happy, and has a long history, in which the wandering, always meet some attractions contains an old story. As a result of the city center, it is adjacent to Tian’anmen Square, Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, is one of the mostly visited park for visitor to Beijing. In my opinion, it has the solemn, atmospheric characteristics like the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, and beautiful like Longtan Lake, Yu Yuan Tan.In a word, it is a tourist resorts.
