Beijing's red leaves, which are only red once a year, are red again this year. The first to turn red is the Badaling Red Leaf, which is located on the Red Leaf Ridge opposite the first railway in China - the "herringbone" railway, the bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou and the Qinglongqiao Railway Station. The Red Leaf Ridge is the essence of the Badaling Forest Park for viewing red leaves. It is not only the largest, most spectacular and the first red leaf viewing area in Beijing, but also the largest natural red leaf scenic spot in Asia.

Badaling Ancient Great Wall is located in the southwest of Badaling Great Wall ten Kilometers away, it is the west gate of the Badaling Great Wall defense system. Because it is primitive, it is incomplete, but still powerful. The Badaling Ancient Great Wall is the witness of history. According to the research of experts, two sites of archaeological value were found in the Badaling Ancient Great Wall, one is the quarry where the Great Wall was built, and the other is the ancient brick kiln where bricks were fired. These two sites can help us understand the source of some raw materials when building the Great Wall at that time.

Soon after entering the scenic spot, I saw“ The place where the king broke the barrier "said:
Chuang Wang raised his troops to Shixia Pass. When he contacted the Ming army, he defeated its vanguard, seized its camp, and rushed to the city. Chuang Wang knows the importance of military power and speed. If the Badaling reinforcements arrive, there is no hope of breaking the Shixia Pass. So he ordered the rear army to camp and the front army to attack the city. Prince Chuang led the Chinese army to the front camp to supervise the battle.
At that time, the Rebel Army stood firm on the ladder, lined up the artillery, climbed up the ladder with a sword in his hand, and fired the artillery with a sword. Although there are few Ming soldiers in the city, the dangerous terrain of the Great Wall and the abundance of reserves in the city make the gray bottle guns, rolling wood and thunder stones run down the wall. Although the Rebels were brave, they also lost their momentum in this dangerous place. After two or three hours of fierce fighting, the two armies gradually became deadlocked. Chuang Wang could not help but be anxious. In order to prevent Badaling from sending more troops to Shixia Pass, a military order was issued secretly, ordering the feint troops to attack Badaling with all their strength, so that the defenders on the mountain would not dare to divide their troops for reinforcements, and at the same time, an order was issued to temporarily stop the attack.
Half an hour later, when Chuang Wang saw that the city's defenders were losing their strength, he ordered the army to push the dump truck and the Hongyi cannon to the front. At his command, the flying rocks flew into the air and the volleying of artillery. The city's defenders were caught off guard and rushed to fight, causing heavy losses. After the stone cannon, the three-way drum sounded, and the Chuang Wang drew his sword in his hand and rode forward. Seeing that the commander was not evading the axe, all the officers and men took the lead and redoubled their spirit to attack the city. Another hour later, when the remnant soldiers in the city saw that the situation was over, they offered to pass and begged for surrender. At this time, the red sun was setting in the west, and the smoke of gunpowder was not dispersed. All the soldiers of the Rebel Army climbed up to the city tower and shouted in unison. The sound shook the canyon, like the collapse of heaven and earth, shaking the mountain.
Hundreds of years passed quickly. Now, Chuang Wang Ancient road Still, there is no smoke on the Great Wall. Although the city wall has been broken, its pride still exists. In the silence, my heart dances with the wind, and I mourn the great war that happened in the past.
——It seems that the Great Wall is not insurmountable.

Cloves belong to Oleaceae, a deciduous shrub or small tree, with beautiful tree posture and strong flower fragrance. Every summer, the ancient Great Wall is covered with wild lilacs, which are very fragrant. Most ancient poets wrote about their worries with lilacs, because most lilacs blossom in clusters, like knots, which is called "ding knot, baijie flower". Cloves are valuable all over the body. The bark, trunk and branches can be used for medicine. They are bitter in taste, slightly cold in nature, and have the functions of clearing the lung, eliminating phlegm, relieving cough, relieving asthma, diminishing inflammation, and diuresis. In Li Shangyin's Gifts on Behalf, there is a saying that "plantain does not exhibit clove knots". Lilacs in literary works symbolize something noble, beautiful and sad. In the West, the flower symbolizes "innocence, first love and modesty of young people". In France, "when lilacs bloom" means when the climate is at its best.

Look at the introduction of Lilac Valley, and then climb the high Great Wall Ancient Road. At this time, I am breathless even though I climb with my bare hands. After resting for a while, I unconsciously associate cloves with the defenders hundreds of years ago. At that time, the city guards were either carrying heavy assets, or patrolling and changing sentries, or in groups, or walking alone at night, climbing up and down the ancient Great Wall road on this steep slope. You can imagine how difficult it was. Standing on the wall of the Great Wall in the wilderness and isolated from the world, they miss their hometown and relatives day and night. In the fear, helplessness and loneliness of war, they may not know that cloves are their best sustenance. They are beautiful, bright and fragrant, but they are full of sadness and sadness of missing their hometown and relatives. Therefore, DXG is a perfect foil to the ancient Great Wall.

The Ming Dynasty was the third peak of China's Great Wall construction. "Building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly" were the three national policies determined at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and "building walls high" ranked first. This ancient road is the path for transporting goods.
——The strategic idea of "digging deep, accumulating more grain and not seeking hegemony" put forward by Chairman Mao still works today.

Why do the leaves of Cotinus coggygria turn red in autumn?
In addition to chlorophyll, the leaves of Cotinus coggygria contain yellow lutein or anthocyanins that can show red. In spring and summer, due to warm weather, chlorophyll is generated in large quantities, and other pigments are few, so the leaves of Cotinus coggygria are green; In autumn, with the gradual decline of temperature, chlorophyll decreases continuously. It will not be generated when the weather is cold, and will decompose in the sun. At this time, other pigments will be exposed, so the leaves containing lutein will turn yellow, and the leaves containing anthocyanin will turn red. Anthocyanins are easy to form when the temperature is low, so the cotinus coggygria leaves containing anthocyanins will become red in late autumn.

Since I went to the Red Leaf Ridge, I began to look for red cotinus coggygria leaves with good color and shape. I wanted to take a close-up of them, but I couldn't find them anywhere. It looks good from a distance or on the whole, but it is not ideal when you take a closer look. There are either "freckles", or pockmarks, or it is polluted, or the shape is bad. The red leaves with good taste have been scrambled by the first comers to "collect" them. However, we still hope those who are engaged in collection will show mercy and leave the beautiful red leaves to the late comers, so that they can also enjoy the beauty of Beijing red leaves.
When I am looking for beautiful red leaves, I also feel: Leaves are the same as people. People are not perfect, and leaves are also not perfect!
