Surrounding this pool with a group of tourists, as long as you let your imagination run wild, there will be some people who will never tire of it, be reluctant to leave, and never want to leave.
What may come to mind is not only the image of Concubine Yang flicking the water in the pool, bathing and playing in the water, but maybe you can also smell the faint rouge fragrance on her body when she takes a bath, what do you think?
However, the Huaqing Palace outside, as part of the former royal palace, is quite attractive.
With the mountain on its back and the Wei River on its side, it is built against the mountains of Lifeng. It is large in scale and has magnificent buildings. Towers, pavilions and halls are spread all over Lishan Mountain.
This place is famous all over the world for the love story between Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei. The architecture of Huaqing Palace is also grand and magnificent, attracting countless photography enthusiasts to take pictures here. There are many people who specially wear ancient clothes to take pictures.
The first thing you see when entering Huaqing Palace is a beautifully carved mural with ancient poetry. It describes the ancient poem "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" by Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi. The poem tells the story of these two people.
There is a stone next to a lake in Huaqing Palace. On the stone are engraved two words "Yu Tang". Yu is the name of the emperor, and Tang means hot spring.
Altogether it is This hot spring was the hot spring where the emperor bathed, and ordinary people at that time could not enter.
After hearing the explanation from the specially invited tour guide, Taylor curled up his lips and said, "The emperors in ancient times were very good at enjoying themselves."
Jin Xishan smiled and said: "The floor of the hot spring pool inside is made of jade. The ancient emperors really enjoyed the resources. The ancient craftsmen were also very smart and knew how to introduce the hot springs into the house. The drainage system is also very advanced. This is the historical value of Huaqing Pool." It’s a cultural relic.”
Liu Qingshan added: "Although Huaqing Palace is more than 1,100 years old, the hot springs here have been recorded for more than 6,000 years. In other words, the long-standing Lishan Hot Spring has been condensed since the Yangshao Culture period 6,000 years ago. Rich cultural connotation, we are here to feel the historical atmosphere, not to see the scenery!"
Such an explanation is still necessary. Taylor's country only has a history of more than 200 years. If she doesn't point this out, she won't be able to appreciate the weight of history here.
Sure enough, Taylor's mouth grew longer for a long time, his head looked around, and there was a very obvious look of awe in his eyes.
Liu Qingshan was secretly happy in his heart. He knew that the royal garden area with strong Tang style and rich charm was mainly for static sightseeing. In fact, the second phase of the expansion project had just been completed two years ago, which can also be understood as the architectural capital here. It is a modern imitation.
Not to mention the Huaqing Palace, why did the entire city of Chang'an never become the capital again after the Tang Dynasty?
That's because in the late Tang Dynasty, the capital was moved to Luocheng, and the residents of Chang'an City had to move with them. All the buildings in the city were demolished, leaving only ruins and ruins, and the majestic capital became a completely abandoned city.
Today's Huaqing Palace is based on several renovations in later generations, and its current appearance is almost completely rebuilt.
Even a few buildings are old, but they are far from the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty.
It would be strange if the uninformed Taylor could sense the historical implications from this.
But today's Huaqing Palace is not necessarily much less exquisite and gorgeous than it was back then. And with the addition of modern construction technology, it may be even more majestic and beautiful than it was back then.
The key is that its construction perfectly restored the grand scene of the year based on historical records.
A forest of Chinese and foreign calligraphy steles, a pear garden and other art exhibition halls have been added, forming a comprehensive cultural relics tourist site integrating tourism, cultural relics, gardens, bathing, entertainment and catering.
After touring the various halls, we came to the Feishuang Hall of Huaqing Palace, where we witnessed the love story of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Yang Guifei.
The place where Concubine Yang showered was vaguely luxurious, showing a vague royal aura.
Walking in from the side door, the rooms in front are lined up in a row. On the left is the Nine Dragon Pond, overflowing with blue water waves, and on the right is the statue of Concubine Yang, but these are not what Liu Qingshan is interested in.
Waiting to cross the threshold and rush to that gathering room
In the crowded room, the waiter handed over a towel. The guests took the towel, picked a place to stay, and soaked their feet in the hot spring.
My tense spirit obviously relaxed the moment I sat down, and I could feel the spring water moisturizing my skin, just like how Yang Guifei took a foam bath that year.
The girls are all beating the waves with their feet, like blooming narcissus, standing proudly and making waves, and like fairies pulling the brocade, causing the brocade to flutter.
Sitting here feels like being in a fairyland, like a dream, even if you stay here for a few days and nights, it is not an exaggeration.
[In view of the general environment,
The clear spring water flows at your feet. Close your eyes and enjoy the comfortable and friendly feeling brought by nature. You will immediately feel refreshed.
Hot springs are like the warm sun, leading people to a comfortable alien space.
Natural hot springs, without any artificial contamination, are purely natural and clear. Busy people can throw away all their worries here and relax.
The steaming hot springs are colorless and odorless, and the springs are crystal clear. You will feel sleepy while soaking in them. You really feel comfortable in such a beautiful spring.
The spring water keeps flowing out from the big hole on the right, and the tinkling sound lingers in the ears, playing an everlasting hot spring song. Soaking your feet in the hot spring makes people calm down.
The commentator next to me said that in winter, Chang'an often snows all over the sky, but because the underground hot springs in Huaqing Palace make the surface temperature higher, the heat rises and turns the snow into frost, so it is called "Feishuang Palace".
The reason why the hot springs of Huaqing Palace attracted emperors of all ages is that Lishan Mountain is a dormant volcano, and the water flowing through it is heated to a constant temperature of 43 degrees.
The hot spring water here is rich in minerals and is known as the world's three largest hot springs along with Carikala in ancient Rome and Bath Hot Spring in England.
This is also where the Song of Everlasting Sorrow took place. Colorful lanterns hang high in the winding corridors, but whatever happened here has been lost in the smoke of history.
From the existing hot spring ancient source No. 1 outlet, you can still see crystal clear water gushing out continuously.
Through underground pipes, two fountains are now built next to it, where tourists can wash their hands and faces and feel the hot spring water.
The guests all went to wash their hands. The temperature of the water was just right and they were very comfortable.
It is said that when the ancient emperors took a bath, because the water flow from the No. 1 outlet was very fast, they had to go through several turns to enter the No. 2 outlet, buffer it, and then flow into the imperial bath.
The water washed by the emperor flowed into other baths along the pipes, and only with the emperor's gift could it be used to wash the concubines or ministers. This shows that the ancient rules and regulations on respect and inferiority were very strict.
In Huaqing Pool, it is enough to show the disparity in the status of the royal family.
The hot spring pool is divided into the pool where Yang Guifei bathed, the pool where Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty bathed, and the pool where ministers bathed.
They were in the pool where the chef bathed.
Let’s not talk about the pool, let’s talk about the emperor’s dressing room. The ground is surrounded by an open ditch with hot spring water flowing, so that the emperor will not feel cold when changing clothes? Our ancestors adopted plumbing technology more than a thousand years ago.
The pool where the chefs bathe is divided into two parts. The higher one is where the chief chefs bathe, and the lower one is where the ordinary chefs bathe.
The narrator's explanation followed: The ancient people were very smart. The emperor said that the chef's hands were used for cooking and not for rubbing the ashes on the feet, so he dug several small pits in the pool for the chefs to cook. Grind your feet.
Not to mention, with her detailed explanation, the seemingly dilapidated Millennium Pit seems to be getting taller and taller.
Such hot springs really make people reluctant to leave. Many people dried their feet with towels but found that there was still residual warmth on their feet, which gradually disappeared after returning to the parking lot outside.
Even Liu Qingshan felt that it was a worthwhile trip to Huaqing Pool today because he enjoyed the treatment that only noble concubines in ancient times could enjoy.
In the afternoon, you will visit the City Wall Scenic Area. After the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square and the Bell and Drum Tower Square, you will climb the City Wall.
Before , the program team was taken to a high-end hotel on the way back by people from Shaanxi Province Satellite TV. Nearly a hundred people enjoyed a separate small hall that could only accommodate a dozen tables. .
There were still many vehicles following along the way. These fans and reporters followed us, but they could only be stopped to eat in the ordinary hall downstairs.
The people who can come here to chase stars must at least have very good family conditions. Seeing that they are not short of money, they follow the hotel without hesitation, making those reporters who do not have sufficient funds shake their heads.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shaanxi Satellite TV made a request to invite certain guests to be interviewed.
Of course, the time is very short, and maybe only a few sentences are left after editing.
It was precisely for this reason that Xu Wei, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Zhenyue, and Mu Tongxin, who were invited, readily agreed.
Of course Liu Qingshan also had invitations, but after discussion and decision, only Taylor was sent for the interview.
Because the TV station had explained in advance that the interview with them would be comprehensive and would require a certain amount of recording time. It would not be that much time for three people to be interviewed together.
Since the title of this show focuses on Taylor, of course it is more appropriate for her to take the lead.
Moreover, the TV station has already listed the interview outline in advance, so that the interview content will not go astray or involve some sensitive topics.
The atmosphere at lunch was quite lively. For the program team, they arrived at the last station and could return home after a month and a half of absence.
For the local TV station, the mood is also relaxing. Being able to get the fame of Liu Qingshan and this variety show and complete the tasks assigned by the above will bring more benefits than doubling the bonus.
The guests have the opportunity to promote themselves. This opportunity to appear in this variety show may lead to more promising development prospects.
Therefore, under the influence of these factors, people are in a good mood, which in turn leads to a smile on everyone's face.
Even Xu Wei, who is not very good at dealing with people, always has a comfortable smile on his lips. But what he doesn't know is that Liu Qingshan has used his short contact time in these two days to quietly use his true energy to help him relieve his pain. He suffered from depression that had plagued him for nearly ten years.
