In mid-March, after the Spring Festival, I went on my first business trip and came to the ancient city of Xiangyang. Still living in a hotel at the foot of Xi' an Mountain.
Early in the morning, I still walked to Jia Xi pond. At the end of last year, when I walked here for the last time, the fallen leaves disappeared, the bare branches were covered with green leaves, and the stream thawed and flowed more happily.
Between the mountains, by the pond, by the bridge, cherry blossom forests are one after another, as white as snow and as pink as peach blossoms. In the singing of birds, smiling faces are open, reflected in ponds and scattered in Yamanoue, showing vitality everywhere.
The cherry blossoms in ponds in Jia Xi are different from those in parks and roadsides in cities. Accompanied by mountains and rivers, fresh and more spiritual;
Because of the ethereal tranquility, when I didn't go to Wuhan University to see cherry blossoms, there were more people than flowers, but there was a unique charm and interest.

Jia Qianchi is surrounded by mountains and waters, quiet and green, and the forest is green. Located in the south of Xiangyang, Hubei Province, the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain is known as "the first country garden in China".
About 2000 years ago in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Hou Xiyu of Xiangyang chose land in the countryside and built a private garden here. Today, Jia Qianchi has become one of the earliest existing garden buildings in China, and one of the few famous gardens in the Han Dynasty, and is praised as "the originator of private gardens" by landscape management.
One spring many years ago, I visited the Jia Xi pond. I remember when I first entered the mountain gate, I was amazed at her unique artistic conception: mountains and rivers are integrated, gardens are integrated, natural and harmonious, and natural.
As soon as she faced the water, the Hanshui River flowed quietly at the foot of her mountain. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, a basin tilted upward halfway up the mountain has become the most beautiful scenery.
The top of the mountain, the garden area halfway up the mountain, and the Han River at the foot of the mountain have distinct layers of flowers and trees. The garden is like running water, walking in the painting, full of charm and wonderful.
Natural mountain forest is a garden, surrounded by mountains, and built into a garden; Flowers and trees are forests, born with gardens and forests; Then bring a small bridge, pavilions and pavilions, and carve them naturally, making people feel closer, relaxed and integrated with nature.

That hasty trip, the scenery of Jia Xi pond, has been imprinted in my mind. Unexpectedly, after many years, I can have a good chance with her for several months.
Let me wander in her arms for a long time, slowly appreciate the fine products, watch her four seasons change, and appreciate her beautiful scenery and long cultural history.
In May last year, the Agricultural Bank of China and Xiangyang Municipal Government reached a strategic cooperation on the construction of smart government. In August, the third-level R&D team of Agricultural Bank of China entered Rongting Hotel at the foot of Xianshou Mountain in Xiangyang.
The hotel is located in the suburb of Xiangcheng, at the foot of the mountain, with few people and relatively closed. Shan Ye is quiet, which is convenient for epidemic prevention and quiet research and development. So it became our temporary home in R&D.
Jia Xi pond is only four or five kilometers away from the hotel at the foot of the mountain. Because of its superior geographical location, I walk along the mountain road, together or alone, from the foot of the mountain to Jia Xi Pond halfway up the mountain every morning and evening after work.
Five months is not long, but it is not short. Unexpectedly, she will become the most frequently visited scenic spot in my life. I have learned more about Jia Xi Pond through walking again and again.

When Xiangyang is in a depression, build a dike in front of the house to repair the pool, draw water from White Horse Spring, build a garden platform in the pool, build a hexagonal pavilion in the middle of the lake and set up a Diaoyutai. Fishing, drinking tea, reading poems and making friends, enjoying the scenery and enjoying life in leisure time.
Everything has passed, and history has come to the Eastern Jin Dynasty from the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yu's descendants learned to incise teeth, and they also learned it in Linchi. Climbing to the top of history, among the mountains, he wrote the famous book Hanshu Chunqiu, which made him famous all over the world.
Since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, it has been the first choice for local people and foreign tourists.
Since ancient times, literati have often come here to travel. According to historical records, "Jia Xi Pound is the most admired person among the celebrities who served in Chu for 18- 19 years".
Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once lamented that when the sun was rising late, Gong Shan often drunk Jia Qianchi.
Li Bai, Du Fu, Pi Rixiu, Jia Dao, Ouyang Xiu, Mi Fei, Ceng Gong and other literati have been here many times. They write poems in the water, explore secluded places, and sing and drink quickly.

Since last August, I have experienced her coolness in summer, coolness in autumn and warmth in winter. Besides going for a walk in Jia Xi pond in the morning and evening, I sometimes go for a walk in Jia Xi pond after lunch.
In Jia Xi pond in August and September, the temperature changes obviously in one day. In the early morning, walking on the greenway leading to Jia Qianchi, the mountain breeze is green and refreshing, just like spring and autumn.
It's hot at noon, but in the garden, the springs are tinkling, the trees are shaded, and it's deep and quiet, which makes people feel calm and cool, but there is a lot less heat.
In the evening, perhaps the heat wave of the mountain stream was infected by the green of the mountain, blown away by the wind, and diluted by the Hanshui River, making people feel that there are two worlds under the mountain.
In autumn in Jia Xi pond, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the bridges are flowing, the air is crisp in autumn, the temperature is pleasant and the scenery is charming.
Although there are not many flowers, it is also a colorful and sparkling mountain. Her beauty lies in the variety and combination of leaves, which are colorful and unpredictable.
You see, the mountain forest is as red as fire and passionate as fire; This mountain forest is bright yellow, and the ground is covered with peanuts, which is warm and quiet under the sunshine;
There are forests around the bridge, red, yellow, green and withered, colorful and dazzling.
Time goes by like running water. Our annual development task in Xiangyang is coming to an end. Early winter has arrived, and the winter in the ancient city is already chilly.
One morning, I looked up and suddenly saw the light outside the window, thinking that the sky had awakened. It was dark and quiet when you pushed the door. It is snow that attracts people.
Just before dawn, I started a brisk walk for another day. Target, Jia Xi pond on the hill directly ahead; Objective: To watch the snow scene on Jia Qianchi.
The wind is changing and the snow is changing along the way, and the light rain is sandwiched with snowflakes. When I went to Jia Xi pond, there were no birds flying in the mountains, and there were no traces of them. The cold wind outside the park is biting, and the wind in the park is quiet, warm and humid, clean and white, but it lacks a lot of cold feeling.

Jia Xi pond is like a beautiful peacock, flying on the Phoenix Mountain, embedded in the sunshine of the mountain and the river bank.
Hanshui River and Phoenix are both cultural and spiritual totems. Visiting the secluded place, the mountain is silent, and the river is silent, but we seem to be listening to the story of mountains and rivers, arousing more brilliant memories and ripples.
Entering from the mountain gate again and again, looking at the mountains and water, the kind of big opening, big understanding and big house makes people's hearts more peaceful and clean.
Now, spring blossoms, all loves, birds and flowers, cherry blossoms everywhere, just waiting for you!
