Trees on the altar by Lawrry Christ
Confirms a park shelter, is really a very happy thing, our family altar in the north gate at the building in an ordinary. Childhood, I do not know how much time is spent in her arms. I left there, and small partners to cry and laugh, and also left our childhood cricket catch, catch dragonflies on the scene. Eroded dense shade in the summer heat, winter, where we see snow, snowball fights, play away. From childhood to middle age, I lived there for thirty years and has deep feelings for her.
Later, I read some books about old Beijing know, Ritan Park was built in 1530, is the capital of one of the famous five altar, is the ordinary people have not set foot in a royal garden. According to records, Jiajingnianjian Beijing’s temples in the multi-plant pine, “sun outside the southeast, south hundreds of weapons that Asahi DONGYUEMIAO altar outside the ancient pine forest plants Shen blocks out the sun, all people have the so-called Black Forest” It is obvious that very spectacular. The ancients considered the same species of pine and cypress, so collectively loose. In fact, many old trees on the altar is the Cupressaceae, an arborvitae. Later, as the times change, the factors of war, no management. Indiscriminate felling of trees where the trees being, the garden there are collapsed buildings and more. Also common in lush red walls and green tile on the withered grass, where almost become a desolate forsaken gardens.
To the fifties of last century, the garden city of Beijing Construction to be gradually restored, but at this time Ritan Park, the only national park in the protection of old trees, but also left more than thirty trees. First century, the early seventies, the altar has been built around the many foreign embassies, the park also has a wall fence. Park re-repair, including the Western Paradise Gate, North Heavenly Gate, slaughter pavilion, God, library, a clothing house, rebuilt the altar of sacrifice yen, a large number of ancient buildings. Sun shines, the red walls shaded by dense trees and green tile, look very beautiful and spectacular, and the original open space, or planted with new trees, or build a new King.
The southwest corner of a seat on the altar of soil mountains, hills an odd meters Ching Fai Pavilion. The early seventies of last century the area east of Beijing’s few tall buildings, said the morning was standing on the Pavilion balcony looking east, across the front two rows of tall poplar trees, you can see the sun rising from the scene , so hence the name “Green Hui Ting.” I did not research before, but the days of summer, no matter how hot the day, as long as the sun goes down, the trees around it to disperse the heat quickly, distribute cool, and cool breeze blowing all four sides. Look at where the green is surrounded by endless night there walks, enjoy the cool air is a good place to rest, so I especially like the tree on the altar.
Ritan Park tree has infinite charm for me.
Walking into the park where there are always surprised to find, where the trees neatly lined on both sides in addition to Yong Lu is planted, the capital where people have the common poplar, willow, locust and pines. Ritan Park is more trees scattered throughout the park, located above the soil, they grow wanton nature, many species, hackberry, Euonymus, Fraxinus, Syringa reticulata, gold, silver wood, Long Zhaohuai, persimmon tree, Eucommia, holly, ginkgo biloba, jujube, walnut, cedar, maple and poplar in Xinjiang, is simply a northern plant museum.
Ritan Park is one of the oldest old arborvitae, o the altar of sacrifice yen southwest red walls, the thickest trunk to two meters long only to separation of the nine branches. Nine branches Emotion curved upward with a strong, growing, like the nine black dragon, it is called “Nine Cypress.” The tree is 1,100 years of wind and rain through the vicissitudes of life, it is still a few sticks of dry still lush, showing a strong vitality.
The oldest tree species here, is tall Metasequoia. On the altar of God, I saw three near the west bank, east of this tree produced in Sichuan, western Hubei, like warm and humid climate, not waterlogging. Sequoia Trees in the Cretaceous and Cenozoic time, about six or seven, to the more extinct after the Quaternary glacial, Metasequoia remaining one, we’ve seen it and another ancient ginkgo tree, has a “living fossil “said. Every summer it is lush with one of lush verdant appearance, slender leaves like needles, but it may not be as deep green pine-like. Autumn leaves it silently, leaving only a small crown on the golf ball-like fruits.
Then walk a few steps forward, there is a lot of second Qiao Yulan. Magnolia flower was originally the name of our country, while the second Qiao Yulan is a precious flower varieties, it is very suitable for the hall before the species, dotted courtyard. Magnolia tree, planted here to the seventies of last century, has now grown more than ten meters high, like a slim girl, on the branches before and after the annual Qingming large flowers pink flowers are large white bud, Handan Flower, about open. Some statistics have been much on the one thousand, when the breeze slowly bloom, fragrant. Every year, attracted many young girls pictured in this stop. The park is not far in front of a bar, sipped wine and enjoyed a bright window through the beautiful magnolia, is a more pleasant thing it!
Spring is here, but it’s a very short time. Saying Beijing, pick up a few fans not fans left the spring, summer has come over unannounced out. It then Guanggong Yuan this time, we like to talk while walking in the shade, or sitting in the shade relaxing chair laughing. People naturally think of the park sycamore tree.
You come in from the north gate meters south through the North Gate longer follow that day, I looked up you can see that large tree, its canopy is large enough to cover over three hundred square meters of the place, Mimizaza leaves, layer covering their floor, standing before the roots can not find the sun a little too close the gap. This fast-growing deciduous tree is very suitable for planting along the roads, it has some cold hardiness and resistance to the role of soot. It is said that the tree Platanus Ritan Park, called the capital of the crown. In fact, it will more than forty years of age, to fall off a sycamore tree green containers, all the branches of a tree branch twigs are covered with the same fruit as the bell. Ilex autumn wind blowing, bell, brush shake ringing sound of the fall.
Looking around storied dye, autumn breeze, it is like a paintbrush Dianran little guilty leaves out a variety of colors. Walk a few steps forward, waving red persimmon trees and maple leaves, where the warm inviting people to look at ginkgo tree is the golden garden trees dressed, turn his face looking at you, the background is the sky blue Zhanzhan.
Beijing’s autumn and winter turn, happen overnight, and on the people also Yang Zhelian, watching in amazement the beauty of a ginkgo, blue sky in the background quietly enjoying a golden autumn leaves of a tree when Beijing in the autumn of your emotion is a picture more beautiful when stepping on the foot of a layer of leaves spread, was torn with how to retain the beauty of this autumn night, the wind almost all the autumn leaves are being represented ground.
Northern winter cold to show the way dry aroma, showing a solemn scene. Some dim sky, like some kind of expectation. Small snowflakes from the Sky in capsules floating leisurely, quietly dropped to the ground. After only one night, there is a white world. Only those who are not willing to install a green pines and cypresses still, like, like sentinels guarding those old buildings. Small wind blowing in waves, bravely Doulou the tree in front of the body of the snow, showing his stubborn character and dark green in color.
At this time the trees through those bleak, one can see a section of the park, and those red walls and green tiles of ancient buildings, offering the yen appears to open the altar, the tall and solemn mystery of the God appeared library, while the small size of the slaughter like cornices picked Pavilion a dream-like, they all show charm. Trees and park construction financing as a whole. In the silence, as if to sleep, but also doing their own dreams of spring.
I love the trees on the altar, each have their own views throughout the year, flowers in spring and summer are dark green, colorful in autumn, winter silence. But they regarded their selfless dedication to the seasonal beauty.
On the altar of the tree is a kind of beauty, but also a quality.
