It is said that the Song edition is as expensive as gold, but why do I feel that although the Song edition has beautiful fonts, the spacing between the words is too small and it looks a little laborious when squeezed together. It is not as smooth as the Ming and Qing editions. Perhaps it is also because of my presbyopic eyes.

Tiangong Kaiwu, combined with China in the classics, has another close encounter and seen Song Yingxing's self-engraved edition.

Yin Ruins oracle bones and Juyan Han bamboo slips. Han Li is so beautiful.

The Yongle Grand Ceremony Exhibition, but unfortunately, there is not one grand ceremony left, which is extremely precious.

It was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon when I left the Classics Museum. Before going out, I went to the library in the North Library to have a look. The inverted pyramidal library has a novel design, and there are more people reading books than those attending exhibitions.

After coming out of the national map, I wondered where to go. Thinking that I had never been to Xiannongtan, I wanted to go and have a look. After taking a taxi, we first went to Yongding Gate near Xiannongtan. A north-south long Yongdingmen Park has been built around Yongdingmen. Due to epidemic prevention and control reasons, the park only opened two entrances and exits at the north and south ends, which is very inconvenient. I walked along the railing on the west side of the park to the west side of the tower. I couldn't find the entrance. I asked a middle-aged man fishing next to me. He pointed to the railing and "flipped in" with a Beijing accent. Listen to others 'advice and walk less.

Yongding Gate is the south gate of Beijing's outer city. It faces Zhengyang Gate, the south gate of the inner city, facing north, so it is the southernmost tip of the central axis of Beijing. However, the original tower and the arrow tower in front were demolished in 1957. What we see now has been rebuilt as it is in 2004. The stone Yongding Gate plaque on the gate hole that was demolished then is now preserved in the Capital Museum and you can visit it.

On the south side of the tower is a square and on the north side is a park. There is also a camping area in the park. I came quite coincidentally and saw the city tower. Due to the need to apply for the cultural heritage of Beijing's central axis, a series of ancient buildings around the central axis, including Yongding Gate, had to be repaired. It did not take long for the tower to be covered as a whole. Like him, the Zhengyang Gate Tower was also covered.

After looking at the tower, I asked where the security exit was, and walked all the way north from the north gate of the park. Find a shared bicycle and follow the navigation to Xiannongtan. After passing through the Tianqiao Art Center, I discovered the New World. Later, I came here to watch several performances such as "Five Stars Out of the East" and "Only This Green". Opposite the overpass is the National Museum of Natural History and the West Gate of the Temple of Heaven. There are so many people who see the West Gate of the Temple of Heaven rushing in.

When I arrived at Xiannongtan, now called the Beijing Museum of Ancient Architecture, I learned that it was also being closed for renovation due to the application for the central axis. I heard that it would open in June, so I would come back then.

Looking at the map, on the way back to my place of residence, I will pass by Fayuan Temple. It is famous, so how can I not go? Riding all the way along Nanheng East Street and West Street, I saw the sign "Fayuan Temple * Block" on the roadside. It was obviously a cultural and creative area.

There were seats on the street. It was a coffee shop with a strange name."Ten Thousand Times Shifts * Thousands of Food". There were many people who went in and got a cup of coffee to warm their hands.

The alley next to it is called "Wanlan Hutong", which is a nice name.

Walking along the alley, I saw the entrance of the Hunan Guild Hall, which was already a kindergarten. Mao Zedong lived here when he came to Beijing for the Anti-Zhang Movement in 1920. This period is also reflected in "The Age of Awakening".

Exit the entrance of the hutong, continue to ride your bike, and get into the next Qijing Hutong, cross Xizhutong, Fayuan Temple Front Street, and come to the door of Fayuan Temple. The temples in Beijing are similar in style. The gate doors are not large, but they are all famous. I first knew about Fayuan Temple because of Li Ao's book.

Fayuan Temple was built by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and was built during the reign of Wu Zetian. It was named Minzhong Temple. It was built by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to commemorate the soldiers who died in the expedition to Korea. The site also includes a green space between the entrance of Fayuan Temple and Nanheng West Street. During the Jingkang rebellion, the two clans of Huizhou and Qin were captured and were imprisoned here when they arrived in Beijing. During the Yongzheng period, it was changed to Fayuan Temple, which was designated as a Luzong Temple. Qianlong also gave a forehead of "Fayhai True Source" and hung it in the hall. Unfortunately, photos were not allowed in the hall and could not be taken.

Now Fayuan Temple is the seat of the Chinese Buddhist Academy. Ancient trees are tall in the temple. The Buddha statue in the Pilu Hall is said to be modeled after Wanli's mother. A lazy cat entered the innermost part of the temple attracted tourists 'teasing.

When Fayuan Temple comes out, the sun is already setting west, and not far west is the white building of the Islamic Association of China. It is quite interesting to have the two religions coexist. Then pass the famous Niujie intersection, pass Guang 'anmen, look at the Tianning Temple Tower in the sunset, and soon return to my residence and continue to look forward to the next day's leisure trip.
