I was sleepy again in the afternoon. I haven't been able to get up early in recent days. I don't know why.
I slept on my desk for a while, and when I woke up, I saw the sunshine outside the window. The golden ginkgo leaves were shining, and the good weather brought by the strong wind was early winter.
And I seem to waste again and again, without any reason, my heart has taken control of me.
"You can't waste time like this any more", the sunshine in winter is the easiest to slip away. Yesterday, I took my dad out of the hospital and passed by the local history museum. I also said I would go today. Originally, I didn't have any hope, because I remembered it for the last time, and I didn't open it when I remembered it. It happened to be around 5: 30 in the evening, and the tall door was particularly beautiful against the light. A middle-aged couple walked in, probably attracted by the magnificent building inside, and saw the doorman didn't stop them. I also hurried up to ask the doorman what time to open tomorrow. I thought the answer was "close the door", but I didn't expect people to say nine to five. I am overjoyed!
As soon as I saw that it was only three o'clock, I immediately got on Xiao Huang's car. I haven't ridden Xiao Huang's bike for about three months since I was thrown off my bike last time. But fortunately, cross the hutong, turn right from Jingshan Park, and you will arrive at the moat outside the Forbidden City. After crossing the North Sea and the Round Castle, you will arrive at No.7 Jinwen Street, where the ancient books library is located.
Jinwen Building stands impressively, with green glazed tiles and double eaves. It is simple and solemn. I feel that Granny Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, and I am so excited that I don't know where to look. I wonder if it's because I want to protect books. The big red windows outside the building are screened. There are two magnificent stone lions on the outside of the white jade railing.
In the brief introduction, this is the architectural remains of the first large-scale modern library in Beijing. Its predecessor was 1909 Shi Jing Library, which was not invited by the Qing Dynasty. In July, 193 1 was named "National Beiping Library" and opened to the public. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it was renamed "Beijing Library".
The main building of the library is modeled after the official palace and has a green glass ceiling. This museum has inherited the royal collections since the Southern Song Dynasty, with rich collections and large scale. It is now the Ancient Books Museum of the National Library, and was announced as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 2006.
I tried to push open the creaking door, as if I had walked into a temple of knowledge, returned to the door to deposit my bag, and then passed the security check before I went in. The staff will also ask if you have a reader's card because this is not a tourist attraction. If you have no books to read, you'd better not go in. Although I don't have any ancient books to read, there was only one ancient book published at that time, that is, "Si Kuquan Shu Shi Subset", and I really don't know about other books. I didn't expect that the only book I could read on the shelf of the reader's room on the third floor was Sikuquanshu published by Taiwan Province Commercial Press, and I was lucky enough to turn to the first volume of Chunqiu by the Ministry of Economics, which was totally aimless. Only the first book touched it, that's all.
Because the rule here is which book number you want to give, the staff will help you find it, not that you have the right to find it yourself, perhaps because the book is too expensive. Fortunately, I saw an open-shelf book and said that I was reading the National Palace Museum in Taipei and wanted to read the books here. The administrator is an old gentleman, a bit of an axis, and actually agreed, just because I have a reading card and my attitude is still relatively pious. Thank you, old gentleman, and thank you for not giving up casually. Anything is possible.
So I read the Spring and Autumn Annals and took notes in this antique library, which enriched my unforgettable experience! The window glass here has seven colors. Looking from the inside out, the world instantly turned into a rainbow color, and the tall ginkgo tree also became an image in a kaleidoscope. Whoever designed this glass must be childlike.
I think, among thousands of coincidences, in the wilderness of time, there are always some subtle fingers that lead me here. If I hadn't taken my dad to the exam, if I hadn't passed through here, if the couple hadn't walked in, maybe I wouldn't have the courage to ask. If I hadn't read the book National Palace Museum in Taipei, maybe everything would be different.
Recently, it was dragged away by the cultural relics of the Forbidden City, and many ideas came to mind. Perhaps this is what those who protect national treasures and cultural relics full of spiritual blessings told me, telling me the vicissitudes of this nation and how noble human nature can be. The people who carry national treasures may be a group of people specially selected by God. During the decades of turmoil, all the cultural relics were not destroyed. This is really a miracle in the history of cultural relics transportation.
As a China person, none of the museums I must visit in my life are the Forbidden City and the Forbidden City.
