Born in the 1960s, when I was in elementary school or middle school, the happiest thing of the year was going out in spring or autumn. At that time, I usually went to parks, and most of them were parks in the city or suburbs, such as the Summer Palace, Beihai, and Zhongshan Park. Knowing the news of the garden tour, I will be excited for several days. Parents prepare bread, biscuits and other delicious food in advance, and some difficult families bring pancakes, and some even sweet potatoes and corn bread. Basically, no one brought water, let alone drinks. It seemed that there were no drinks at that time, and they all drank tap water. The drinking water in the park seems to be relatively high-end. There is a kind of tap water specially for tourists to drink. They are all the same water, but the water spout is facing upwards and is relatively thin. The water tastes sweet and refreshing, and it is better than the current pure water. too much.
At that time, children played a lot of things, and they were all outdoors, such as playing, skating, smoking traitors, bouncing glass balls, making smoke paintings, pulling roots, pushing hoops, and sticking buttocks. Curtain and so on. During the day, before school and after school, the streets are full of crazy fun, very happy. But few people go to the park, so the school organized garden tours are especially attractive to us as children. When I came to the park, the children were like a flock of happy birds, chirping non-stop. Although I don't know much about many things in the park, and I don't know how to appreciate them, but this novelty, this happiness, and this freedom still make me miss it deeply.
As we grow older, we see more of the world and our living conditions improve, but our happiness decreases. I often go to other places to play, but I basically don't go to the parks in Beijing. The happy childhood is a memory that will never be erased. Taking advantage of the fact that you cannot travel far during the epidemic, it is really wonderful to take a trip to the parks in Beijing and find the happy childhood memories.
Beihai Park
"Let's Swing Oars" was the most familiar song when I was a child. Whenever I sang this song, the images in my mind were red walls, white towers, rippling boats, and laughter. It seemed that this song was the promotion of Beihai Park painting.
Among the parks in Beijing, Beihai Park was the one I visited the most when I was young. One is near, and the other is cheap tickets. It seemed like fifty cents in the seventies. Even so, spending 50 cents to go to the park is not cheap for ordinary families. So it is difficult to go there several times a year. If you can row a boat once, it will be the same as Chinese New Year, and it will be very beautiful.
Beihai Park is located in the city center, adjacent to Jingshan Mountain in the east, Zhongnanhai in the south and Shichahai in the north. The whole park takes Beihai as the center and mainly consists of Qionghua Island, East Bank, North Bank and Tuancheng Scenic Area. Xiaoxitian, Nine Dragon Wall, White Pagoda, Yong'an Temple, Tuancheng, and Jade Urn are the essence of the whole park.
The history of Beihai Park can be traced back to the Liao and Jin Dynasties. By the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty, it had become a large-scale royal palace. Later, through continuous repairs and additions in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many pavilions, platforms, halls and pavilions were built. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of national harmony, the ancestor Fulin of the Qing Dynasty built a Tibetan-style white pagoda on Qionghua Island and a white pagoda temple in front of the pagoda according to the request of the Tibetan lama Anmu Khan. In the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, and Beihai was trampled on. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government allocated huge sums of money to repair Beihai Park, dredged the lake, and repaired ancient buildings. Beihai Park took on a new look and became the favorite park of the citizens.

This time I went to Beihai Park and spent a half day and a whole day. They all entered from the north gate. On the first day, they visited Qionghua Island. On the second day, they mainly visited the attractions on the north bank, west bank, and east bank, and finally went to Tuancheng.
The next day, still enter from the north gate.
The park opens at 6:00 a.m., head west along the north bank, and look at the open scenic spots first. The scenic spots with doors will not open until 8:00. Tour order: Nine Dragon Wall, Tieying Wall, Wulong Pavilion, Xiaoxitian, Wanfolou Stele, West Bank, return to the west gate, Wanfolou Ruins, Chanfu Temple, Kuaixuetang, Fangshan Restaurant, Xitian Fanjing, Jingxinzhai, Xiancantan, Huafangzhai, Haopujian, Nanmen, Tuancheng.
The morning sun shines on Qionghua Island, the White Pagoda is slightly flushed, and the Taiye Pool is shimmering.
The pavilion in Jingshan next door reveals a beautiful figure.
Nine Dragon Wall
The Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai Park was originally the screen wall in front of the gate of Jingzhibao Palace in Dayuan - the gate of truth. The temple was burned in 1900, and although it was rebuilt, it caught fire again in 1919, leaving only the Nine Dragon Wall.
The Nine Dragon Wall was built in the 21st year of Qianlong. It is 5.96 meters high, 1.6 meters thick and 25.52 meters long. On both sides, there are 18 red, yellow, blue, white, blue, green and purple dragons made of glazed bricks.
The Nine Dragon Wall is a kind of screen wall, which is a wall used to block sight in traditional Chinese architecture. The Nine-Dragon Wall in Beihai Park, the Nine-Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City, and the Nine-Dragon Wall in Datong, Shanxi are collectively known as the "Three Great Nine-Dragon Walls in China". The Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai is the most distinctive one. There are dragons on both sides, which are different from each other.
The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation. Among the positive numbers, nine is the extreme number and five is in the middle. The "ninth five-year" system is an important embodiment of the emperor's respect.
Zhenglong yellow is the most noble color, so the emperor's dragon robes are also yellow. Zhenglong is located in the middle, whether it is counted from right to left or left to right, it is the fifth. This yellow Zhenglong symbolizes the Son of Heaven. Because among the yang numbers, the five are in the middle, so there is a saying of "nine five supreme".
The nine dragons on the Nine Dragon Wall, the Zhenglong in the center, and the ascending dragon and descending dragon on both sides. Kowloon takes off, with different expressions. Zhenglong is majestic and dignified, Shenglong is fierce and full of strength, and Jianglong is gentle and elegant. The meaning of the whole Nine Dragon Wall is: a group of virtuous people help each other, a scene of prosperity and prosperity.
The Nine-Dragon Wall is a top with five ridges and four slopes. There are nine dragons on both sides of the main ridge, one on each side of the vertical ridge, and one on the front and back of the two sides of the main ridge. There are a total of 32 dragons with one and five ridges.
There is a dragon on each of the dragon bricks under Jianwa, Longzhou and Dougong (252 tiles around, 251 in Longzhou, and 82 dragon bricks). In this way, there are a total of 635 dragons on the Nine Dragons Wall.
Fangshan Restaurant
Fangshan is a famous palace restaurant. This is the original location of Fangshan Restaurant. It was moved to Yilan Hall on the north side of Qionghua Island in 1959. The environment must be much better than here. Due to the renovation of Yilan Hall, Fangshan had to move back to its original location. I ate there when I was in Qionghua Island. It was very good. I haven't been here since I moved back here. I don't know how it is now.
iron screen wall
To the west of Fangshan, you can see the iron screen wall. Tieyingbi is a relic of the Yuan Dynasty. It is brown in color and is carved from neutral volcanic conglomerate. Because its color and texture resemble iron, it is called Tieyingbi.
On both sides of the screen wall, there are shallow carvings of cloud patterns and strange animals, which are simple and vigorous.
Tieyingbi was originally the screen wall in front of an ancient temple outside Deshengmen. At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, this wall was moved to the front of Desheng nunnery, the guardian of the country, in Deshengmen, and it is now in Tieyingbi Hutong. In the 36th year of the Republic of China, Bishen moved to Beihai Park. In 1986, Beihai Park recovered the base from Tieyingbi Hutong, thus restoring this cultural relic.
Wulong Pavilion
In front of the iron screen wall, five pavilions line up in the water, called Wulong Pavilion.
Wulong Pavilion was built in the 30th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, with Longze Pavilion in the middle, Yongrui Pavilion and Fucui Pavilion in the east, Chengxiang Pavilion and Zixiang Pavilion in the west. In the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong, the wooden curved bridge was changed to a stone bridge, and bluestone railings and pillars were installed. In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, the fences and pillars were damaged by the Allied Forces of the Eight Nations, and they were restored as they were in 1974.
The five dragon pavilions protrude into the water and are arranged in front and back. The five pavilions are all green glazed tile roofs, yellow tiles trimming the edges, and small dots of gold scroll paintings on the beams and beams under the eaves, which are colorful and resplendent.
At that time, Longze Pavilion was a place exclusively for feudal emperors and empresses to fish, enjoy the moon and watch fireworks, and the other four pavilions were places for civil and military officials to accompany fishing.
Xiaoxitian
To the west of Wulong Pavilion is Xiaoxitian.
Xiaoxitian was first built in the 33rd year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty and completed in the 35th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. It was built by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty to celebrate the birthday of his mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaosheng.
The main building is the Paradise of Paradise, which is the largest square pavilion-style palace building in China.
The four sides of the main hall of the Paradise of Paradise and the fine carved patterns on the Nanshan fans. The overall building of the main hall is a wooden structure, all made of golden nanmu, and it is the same as the Daci Zhenru Hall in Daxitian, which is the best of the existing Ming Dynasty buildings in China.
There is a glazed archway in the east, west, north and south of the main hall. According to statistics, there are 10 existing glazed archways in Beijing, and Beihai Park occupies 5 of them. In addition to 4 of Xiaoxitian, there is also 1 of Daxitian. I have seen the glazed archway in Xiangshan Zhao Temple, Reclining Buddha Temple in Botanical Garden, and Wisdom Sea in the Summer Palace. Dongyue Temple and Guozijian will definitely take time to see it in the future.
The four glazed archways have the same system and specifications, but the inscriptions on the foreheads are different.
The archway can be called a fine product, the stone carvings at the bottom, the golden dragon in the workshop, the sparrow under the eaves, the kiss on the ridge, and the sitting beast are all exquisite, and they are rare architectural treasures.
There is a small square pavilion at each corner.
There is a crescent river in the south, and a stone bridge with carved railings is built on it.
Wanfo Tower Stele
The stone stele of Wanfolou is located on the south side of Xiaoxitian. It was erected in front of Wanfolou by Emperor Qianlong in 1770 to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday. It was moved to the west of Xiaoxitian archway in 1987.
The head of the stele is a square treasure top with four dragons holding the title, and the four sides are carved with rolling brakes and walking dragons.
The south, west, north and east sides of the stele are engraved with the word "Yuzhi" in Han, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan respectively and the poem written by Emperor Qianlong.
Xumizuo is carved with vivid images of Tota wrestlers. They are bare upper body, some are grinning;
Around the pedestal at the bottom of the stele are carved lions, unicorns, manatees, pegasus, lobsters and other animals, which are lifelike and lifelike.
Going south along the west bank is the section with the best viewing effect, with rich and layered landscapes.
Looking east from the west bank, Jingshan and the Chinese Zun are very beautiful, showing the contrast between ancient and modern Beijing. The transition is very harmonious, and it is more comfortable than looking west from the east bank.
A pool of clear water surrounds Qionghua, and the shade of green trees reflects the White Pagoda.
When the crystal curtain moves, the breeze blows, and the pavilions and pavilions come into the picture.
When you return to the west gate, it is time for the gates to open.
Wanfolou Ruins
Just north of the Paradise is the ruins of the Wanfo Tower. The Wanfo Tower was originally built in the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong, and it was built by Emperor Qianlong to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Empress Dowager of Chongqing.
The Wanfo Building is 27 meters high and has a Xieshan yellow glazed tile roof. There are 10,099 wooden Buddhist niches embedded in the walls of the three-story building, and tens of thousands of Buddha statues are enshrined, so the name of the building is "Wanfo". You can imagine how brilliant and shocking it was at that time.
When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China in 1900, this place became the headquarters of the Japanese army, and all the golden Buddhas in the building were looted, and then gradually fell into disrepair. Most of the buildings were demolished in the 1950s and 1960s.
Now there are only Puqing Gate, Baoji Building, Miaoxiang Pavilion and two stone scripture buildings.
Incomplete stone animals, stone statues, stone components and pillar foundation stones can be seen everywhere in the garden.
Lu Chen ware, used to place bronze ware, strange stones, incense burners, etc.
The stone scripture clock is basically well preserved, and the stone statues and decorations are exquisite.
Miaoxiang Pavilion is located in the northwest corner, with double eaves, sharp edges, green glazed roof, gray tiles and green edges. The eaves on the upper floor are octagonal, and the lower floor has four openings and four embracing buildings. There are 48 columns in the pavilion. Such a building with a dignified and beautiful appearance and a unique structure has never been seen before.
In Miaoxiang Pavilion, there is even a hole in the sky, hiding a big treasure. Inside the pavilion stands a stone pagoda with sixteen corners carved from white marble. The body of the pagoda is inlaid with stone carvings of the sixteen real images, which are imitated from the "Sixteen Real Images" painted by Guan Xiu, a famous monk of the Five Dynasties. The pagoda is also engraved with Emperor Qianlong's "Praise for the Sixteen True Images of Guanxiu Paintings", postscripts and inscriptions on stones inscribed by monk Mingshui.
There is an octagonal stone-carved eaves on the top of the tower, and stone-carved rafter heads and lion heads on the lower eaves. The base of the tower is Xumizuo, and there are double dragons playing with beads carved on the waist. The body of the pagoda is divided into sixteen sides, separated by corner columns, and each side is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower one is carved with a portrait of Arhat, and the upper one is carved with the Sanskrit name of Arhat. There are sixteen arhats carved on the sixteen sides of the stone pagoda. The sixteen Arhat statues are treasures in stone carving art.
The Wanfo Building is gone, but the pole stone in front of the building is still there. The stone carvings of Erlong Xizhu have obvious characteristics of the Qianlong period, with five-clawed feet, flying posture, and exquisite carving.
Baoji Building belongs to the east wing of Wanfo Building and is the only remaining building in the site.
Chanfu Temple
Chanfu Temple is located in the north of Wulong Pavilion. It was built in the eleventh year of Qianlong and is the former site of Taisu Hall. Empress Xiaozhuang paid homage here after her death. Emperor Qianlong honored the wish of his birth mother and ordered it to be changed into a Lama Temple, named Chanfu Temple. Its regulations are modeled after Longxing Temple in Zhengding, Hebei.

The main room that enters the courtyard first is Chengguan Hall.
The main house in the second courtyard is Yulanxuan.
The third courtyard, Kuaixue Hall, was built after the Qianlong period. In the forty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign, in order to store and display the "Kai Xue Tang Fa Shu" rigid,
The next purpose is to build a Nanmu hall in the east of Chanfu Temple, with ten verandas on both sides. Forty-eight ink carvings of Kuaixuetang are embedded on the back eaves wall, and the plaque is written as "Kaixuetang". The name of the courtyard.
At present, the three main houses are closed, and the contents inside are unknown, only the stone carvings on the corridors on both sides can be seen.
The stone carvings on the east and west corridors are Kuaixuetang stone carvings, with a total of 48 squares.

West Brahma Realm
Xitian Brahma Realm, also known as Daxitian, is located on the north bank of Taiye Pool, facing Jingxinzhai in the east.
Daxitian is a temple building with a combination of Han and Tibetan. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. It was desolate in the early Qing Dynasty, and in the 24th year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, it was expanded and rebuilt and renamed Xitian Brahma Realm. Because it corresponds to the "Xiaoxitian" in the west, it is also called "Daxitian", which means a pure state.
From south to north, the buildings of Daxitian are Huazangjie Archway, Shanmen, Tianwang Hall, Dacizhenru Palace, Huayan Qingjie, Seven Buddha Pagoda Pavilion, and Liuli Pavilion.
There is a tall and exquisite glazed archway in front of the mountain gate. The base and door opening are made of white marble, and the roof is a glazed imitation wood structure.
The glazed archway is named "Huazangjie" in the south, and "Xumichun" in the north, so this archway is also called Huazangjie archway.
The archway is exquisitely crafted and magnificent.
In front of the archway is a pair of majestic stone lions.
The mountain gates are three imitation wooden structure gates of Xieshan black glazed yellow trimmed tops. There are glazed walls between the gates, and the forehead of the middle gate is "West Heaven Brahma Realm".
The glazed dragon carvings on the glazed wall between the doors are exquisite and delicate.
The relief of two dragons playing with pearls in the middle of the Danbi stone on the steps of the mountain gate is lively and lifelike. This piece of Han Baiyu Danbi stone is exquisite in quality and finely carved. It is a rare fine stone carving art.

Exquisite white marble reliefs in front of the hall.
There are five east and west side buildings of Nanmu hall, with a large ridge on the top of Xieshan Mountain and a green glazed tile roof, facing the eaves of the main hall.
The towering ancient trees in the courtyard quietly record every day and every year of Daxitian.
Jingxinzhai
Jingxinzhai, formerly known as Jingqingzhai, is adjacent to Daxitian in the west. It was built in the 22nd year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty and was the study room of the crown prince. It draws on the gardening concept of Jiangnan gardens, with pavilions, pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, stacked rocks and caves ingeniously combined, it is a unique garden within a garden.

Going out of Jingxinzhai, go to the east bank and go south. There is a silkworm altar in the east of the road. It is the place where the empresses and concubines of the Qing Dynasty emperors worshiped the silkworm god. It is one of the nine altars and eight temples in Beijing. It is not open now.
Huafangzhai
Continue to the south, east of the road, pass through a stone-lined road hidden in the woods, and come to Huafangzhai.
Huafangzhai is an independent courtyard hidden in the mountains and forests. If you don’t look for it deliberately, it’s really not easy to find, so many people who often come to Beihai don’t know that there is such a place.
Huafangzhai was built in the 22nd year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. The front hall is "Spring Rain Pond", with a pool in the middle, and the main hall "Huafangzhai" in the north. There are exquisite and unique courtyards in the east and west, with "Coca Court" in the east and "Little Linglong" in the west.

Haopujian
Huafang Zhainan is a three-fork path in the woods. It leads to the east coast road of Taiye Pool to the right, and Haopujian to the left—another garden within a garden in Beihai Park.
At the entrance is a single-room stone archway, made of bluestone, imitating wood structure, and exquisitely carved.
On the front of the archway is carved a couplet written by Emperor Qianlong: Henggao Weiyu is full of vitality, and Songzhang Hengyun is full of painting. Henglin: Ting Lan'an Zhi spits out Fangxin. The couplet on the back of the stone archway is: Riyong Pavilion is cool and quiet, and the flowers and trees are beautiful and fresh after rain. The horizontal lintel: the painting of the mountains and waves.
This archway feels a bit familiar, is it similar to the Zhiyu Bridge archway in the Summer Palace Harmony Garden?
Passing the archway is a curved bridge, which divides the clear water full of pools into two.
At the end of the curved bridge, there is a water pavilion called Haopujian.
Haopujian is an open water pavilion with sixteen pillars on the outside and eight inside. On the front, there is a plaque of "Haopujian", and a plaque of "Marble and Stone in the Pot" hangs inside the porch.

Tuancheng was originally a small islet in Taiye Pool. Yitian Hall was built on it in Yuan Dynasty, rebuilt in Ming Dynasty, renamed Chengguang Hall, and city walls were built around the island, initially establishing the scale of Tuancheng. During the Qianlong period, major construction was carried out, and the Yuweng Pavilion was added.
Climbing up the stairs and entering the city gate, the first thing you see is a big treasure, a tall and lush white bark pine. This is the "White Robe General" granted by Emperor Qianlong. It is said that the tree is more than 800 years old.
The big jade sea in the Jade Weng Pavilion is another treasure, which has been covered with a glass cover. This giant wine vessel made in the Yuan Dynasty is the earliest extra-large jade carving in my country and represents the highest level of jade craftsmanship in the Yuan Dynasty. .
The main hall in the middle - Chengguang Hall, facing south from the north, is a square hall with double eaves, yellow glazed tiles, green trimmings, and pagodas on all sides. In the hall is a Jade Buddha, which was paid tribute to Tibet during the Jiaqing period. It is carved from a whole piece of jade. The whole body is white and smooth. The robe and crown are inlaid with gems.
On the east side of Chengguang Hall, there is a tall ancient Chinese pine - Shayinhou, which is also a treasure of Tuancheng.
