In my dreams, on the Qinhuai River where the love story of talented people and beautiful women was staged, I was nostalgic.

7. Suddenly, from the harmonious dance of water and light, I realized the heroes who died for thousands of years. Their heroism did not disappear with the passing of history.

Since then, it's hard to find traces ... 8. In my mind, there was a Qinhuai River flowing in the poems and songs of former people, just a little bit.

What a sight this is! Near, far, strong and weak colorful lights have fallen into the water, making the river colorful, as bright as a crystal palace, as dazzling as a rainbow, as fantastic as a kaleidoscope. The boat came slowly from a distance and set off waves. In an instant, water and light trembled together. Then, the light and shadow are broken and the world shines. I think this is the twinkling of Qinhuai's eyes, this is Qinhuai's dream change, and this is Qinhuai's soul dancing.

1 1. But when I really stood by the Qinhuai River, I found that the Qinhuai River, which was "obsessed with money" and "golden powder of the Six Dynasties", had gradually lost its former charm with the long history.

12. The water in Qinhuai River is getting darker and greener, and the small fish in the river can no longer be seen. Only the boat swaying in the river, accompanied by brilliant red lanterns, slowly crossed one bridge after another and rowed towards dreams and dreams. Years of sadness dissipated with the clear river wind. My love, my Qinhuai, is waiting for me gently at this time. She is still prosperous, still thousands of families, still thriving.

I seem to be able to see the eight beauties of Qinhuai in "Beautiful" that year, charming and moving in the blurred light, gently curling up, but how many people will pity the infatuation behind them and heartbroken every year? Beautiful women are unlucky, and sentimental women always meet ungrateful people. 13. In Zhu Ziqing's article "Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Paddle Lights", he learned that Qinhuai River is a beautiful river with the beautiful scenery of osmanthus boat lights, especially in foggy nights.

14. Later, after reading Confucius's Peach Blossom Fan and Banqiao Miscellanies, I realized that Qinhuai River is still a heavy river with beautiful Qinhuai stories and a long history and culture from the Six Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. From beauty to.
