There has been a saying among the people, "Ask me where my hometown is? Shanxi Hongdong big locust tree. "

Grandpa told me from an early age that our ancestors immigrated from the big locust tree, and Shanxi is our real hometown.

So on the third day of New Year's Eve, we went to the big pagoda tree, intending to "seek roots" and "worship ancestors" in the traditional Spring Festival.

Listening to the story told by the tour guide's sister while visiting, I gradually understood the purpose and significance of many things. When we see a mural, a feeling of deja vu arises spontaneously, just like finding a sense of belonging in an instant, just like a wanderer who has never been home. Only when we get home can we understand the true meaning of "home". There, I accompanied my father to burn incense for my ancestors and pray for them. Protect the safety and health of family members.

Something amazing happened. My grandfather died when I was in junior high school. I never dreamed of his old man's house, but my father and I dreamed of his old man's house the night we visited the big pagoda tree. Grandpa in my dream is as amiable as ever. ......

Strange snow in the Forbidden City

Originally, I wanted to go to the Forbidden City on the third day of the first stop, but unfortunately all the tickets were sold out, so I had to go to the last stop of the Forbidden City on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Fortunately, I caught up with the snowy Beijing and the snowy Forbidden City on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Large snowflakes like goose feathers add another mystery to the ancient building of the Forbidden City.

The four walls of the Forbidden City are extremely high, and the high walls of the deep palace are such a sight.

Some people with high status in the past, such as the place where the emperor lived, are still magnificent palaces. However, there are still nearly 40% unopened areas in the Forbidden City. Looking through the crack of the door, these places are too old and have not been repaired. The residences of those concubines who have fallen out of favor are extremely bleak and even crumbling, and have already become dilapidated dangerous houses. But we can still see the glory and vicissitudes of the Forbidden City from these dilapidated places. Some people say that these places are the real Forbidden City, and their unique charm without modification is silently telling their own stories. ......

In the Forbidden City, we also met Cat Sansui (Ao Bai).

According to the tour guide's sister, there are about 180 cats in the Forbidden City. Among them, there are stray cats who ran in by themselves, and there are descendants of ancient palace cats, which are proper "royal cats"!

The cat Mimi we see has long white hair except the left ear and black tail. She stood on the steps, very domineering. The tour guide said that the cat was called Sansui, and people named the flower "Ao Bai". It stood there, not afraid of tourists at all, but playing freely. It seems that no matter people are cat slaves now, ancient concubines are also shovel officials!

In a word, this trip is a trip I will never forget. It not only fulfilled the wish of ancestors to worship their ancestors, but also visited the Forbidden City in the snow.

A strange and lucky trip made me fall in love with travel. Half of the interesting life is mountains, rivers, lakes and oceans.
