Beijing welcomes the Olympic Games with three seas and nine gates, and the World Expo on both sides of a river is a beautiful city. What city does Shanglian refer to, and which provinces and cities are adjacent to it? There are three seas in Beijing: China Sea, South China Sea and North Sea. The Sea of China and the South China Sea are now Zhongnanhai. Beihai is now Beihai Park.

Nine gates in Beijing: nine gates in the inner city of Beijing in Ming and Qing Dynasties, with Deshengmen and Andingmen in the north; Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen in the east; Chongwenmen, Zhengyangmen and Xuanwu Gate in the south, also known as the first three gates; Xizhimen and Fuchengmen in the west. There is a saying that there are seven imperial cities outside nine gates in Beijing. In addition to the nine gates in the inner city, there are seven gates in the outer city, namely Dongbianmen, Guangqumen, Xibianmen, Guang 'anmen, Yongdingmen, Zuo 'anmen and You 'anmen, all outside the city. The four gates of the Imperial City are Tiananmen, Di 'anmen, Xi and Dong 'anmen.

There is a saying in Beijing that "there are nine inside and seven outside, and the imperial city is four". Nine gates in the inner city are more important and have their own uses. In the words of old Beijing, it is called "nine doors and nine cars". Don't worry, let's go all over Beijing. I will tell you one by one.

Chaoyangmen: grain wagons. In the past, there was no railway traffic. Grain produced in the south must be transported by water to Tongzhou (now Tongxian) in the east of Beijing. By the way, Tongzhou is divided into Nantong and North Tongzhou, and there is a famous pair of "Nantong, North Tongzhou, North Tongzhou, North Tongzhou, Nantong, North Tongzhou, Nantong", which is exactly the way it is. After the grain arrives in Tongzhou, it will be loaded into the city. Chaoyangmen is the only way to enter the city. Therefore, on the ceiling of Chaoyang Gate, there is a tattoo ear engraved. Grain enters Chaoyangmen and is stored in a nearby granary. Now the place names of Chaoyangmen are "Mi Lu Warehouse", "Maritime Warehouse" and "New Taicang", all of which were warehouses for storing grain in those years.

Chongwenmen: Take a wine cart. Chongwenmen, also known as Hadmen, is a wine channel outside the city. Most of the fine wines of that year were shipped from Zhuozhou, Hebei and other places, so it is natural to take the south road when entering Beijing. The wine truck is pushed to Zuo 'anmen in the outer city, and then to Chongwenmen to pay taxes. At that time, in the Qing Dynasty, the signboard selling liquor in Beijing had to say "South Road Shaojiu", which meant that I had paid taxes and my liquor was not pirated. Of course, there was no property right at that time, hehe. One of Yangliuqing's New Year pictures in the late Qing Dynasty is called "Qiu Jiang's Late Crossing". Its picture is painted with wine sapporo, with the words "South Road" and "Imperial Wine" written on it, which embodies this good fashion of paying taxes for all. In the past, there was a northeast iron turtle outside Chongwenmen, and its shape was very simple. It is said that there is a sea eye under the bridge of the moat, so people use a turtle to hold the sea eye and protect peace in Beijing.

Zhengyangmen: Take the "Dragon Car". Zhengyangmen is located in the middle of the inner city south wall, which is dedicated to the emperor. The emperor went out of Zhengyangmen twice a year, once in winter, to worship the Heaven in the Temple of Heaven, and once in shock, to farm in Xiannongtan. These two trips are through Zhengyang Gate. Zhengyangmen, also known as Qianmen, was1the site where the People's Liberation Army marched when Beiping was liberated on February 3, 949. "Daqianmen" cigarettes are also named after this. Do you remember the design on the cigarette case? Yes, that's the majestic Zhengyang Gate. The picture opposite is the Arrow Tower built in the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty (1439).

Xuanwumen: Take a prison car. Because the execution ground is located in the food market outside Xuanwu Gate. The prisoner has been examined and approved by the Ministry of Punishment, so please behead him. There are three characters engraved on the ceiling of Xuanwu Gate: "It's too late to regret", but it's not too late to regret. It's time to ask questions, and it's not too late to regret. Caishikou is the downtown area of Beijing. People from southern provinces have to cross the Lugou Bridge, enter Guang 'anmen and enter the inner city of Beijing. A long time ago, this was a famous killing place. There is no fixed place for the execution ground at Caishikou. Judges are usually set up in front of merchants or pharmacies in the north of Caishikou Road. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty who was imprisoned by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty for four years, was finally killed at Caishikou because he refused to yield. On the execution ground, he solemnly supervised the beheading officer and said, "What I can do for the Song Dynasty is finally finished now", and then he died generously. Tan Sitong, one of the six gentlemen in the Reform Movement of 1898, once shouted his heroic last words here, "Those who are willing to kill thieves are powerless to return to heaven, and die a fair death, and soon they will be quick", which added a chill to this execution ground.

Fuchengmen: Take a coal car. Because the Mentougou area in the west of Beijing is a coal-producing area, all the coal used in Beijing is transported from there. Mentougou coal is going to Beijing, and the nearest gate is Fuchengmen. Otherwise, there is a plum blossom carved on the top of the entrance of the old Fuchengmen, which is antique and quite picturesque. Mei is homophonic with coal, which means to take a coal car here.

Xizhimen: Take the waterwheel. The doorway of Xizhimen is engraved with ripples of water. In the past, the emperor didn't drink the water in the city, because the water in the city was bitter, so he only drank the water from Yuquan Mountain. Listen, Yuquan Mountain, this water makes people feel sweet. Emperor Qianlong once boasted that the spring in Yuquan Mountain in Beijing is the first spring in the world. This is not a legend. Now that science has advanced, people send this water for identification. It does have less impurities and a pure taste.

Deshengmen: personnel carriers. The north is basaltic according to the stars. Xuanwu is the main swordsman, so he sends his troops to fight and usually goes out of the city from the north gate. It was named Deshengmen. There is a gun on the east wall of Deshengmen. However, this gun is not used for fighting, but for telling the time. At noon every day, Deshengmen and Xuanwumen fired guns at the same time, and the people in the city listened to the guns. However, Beijingers call it "Xuanwu Noon Gun" but don't say "Desheng Noon Gun". It is estimated that Xuanwumen always kills people at noon, and someone falls to the ground as soon as the gun rings, which is more famous than the gate of hell. The treasure of Deshengmen Wengcheng should be a pavilion in the middle. A tall stone tablet stands in the pavilion, engraved with the imperial poems of Emperor Qianlong at the age of 62 (1797). At that time, the emperor's father recalled the eventful years of the past and expressed his lofty sentiments on the word "Desheng".

Andingmen: What bus should I take? Beijing's saying is that when chariots return to the city, they will take the door of stability-sending troops will win, and withdrawing troops will naturally be stable. What if you lose? Look, you are fighting again. If you lose, you have to go back to andingmen. I didn't win this time. It's not too late to make it next time. There is also a saying that the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty camped in Andingmen, so the soldiers all returned here. Actually, it's not like this at all. The Qing Dynasty implemented the system of dividing the city between the flag and the people in Beijing. The Eight Banners are divided into Manchu Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners. One * * is yellow, white, red, blue, yellow, white, red and blue. After the officers and men of the Eight Banners and their families settled in Beijing, the Qing court ordered the occupation of houses in the inner city for the Banners to live in. Both Han and Hui people who used to live in the inner city moved to the outer city. The inner city is centered on the imperial city and divided into four corners by the Eight Banners-two yellow flags are located in the north: the yellow flag is located in Andingmen and the yellow flag is located in Deshengmen; Two white flags live in the east: the white flag is in Chaoyangmen and the white flag is in Dongzhimen; Two red flags live in the west: the red flag is embedded in Fuchengmen and the red flag is located in Xizhimen; The two blue flags live in the south: the inlaid blue flag lives in Xuanwumen, and the zhenglan flag lives in Chongwenmen. We don't need to retreat there. Let's all take the Andingmen. In fact, Andingmen takes a dung cart, because the vicinity of Ditan used to be the main dung field in Beijing. The reason why chariots return to the city is actually a kind of elegance, just like smelly skin hutong changing into a wall hutong, smelly skin factory changing into a longevity alley, cow hoof hutong changing into a topic hutong, and manure factory yard changing into a Zhang Fen compound.

Dongzhimen: Take a brick and wood car. In the past, brick kilns were all outside Dongzhimen, and timber from the south also entered the city from Dongzhimen. In fact, Dongzhimen not only takes brick and wood cars, but also takes various cars. If you give it a hard name, it is Dongzhimen rickshaw. The earliest Dongzhimen Street is actually a small street outside Dongzhimen now. The whole street is about three miles long, and the ground is paved with stone roads. There are more than 150 commercial shops. After the ice room, tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar can be found in this street, as long as it is necessary for ordinary people's daily life, whether it is for eating or using.

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, you know, hehe, so Beijing welcomes the Olympic Games.

One river in Shanghai refers to Huangpu River. Shanghai will hold the World Horticultural Exposition in 20 10, and it is also the second time that China has held the World Horticultural Exposition since 1999.
