"Classic Prose by Famous Writers: Selected Prose by Zhu Ziqing" Introduction: Outside Dazhong Bridge, it suddenly became spacious, which was very different from the densely packed houses on both sides of the bridge. At a glance, the sparse forest, the faint moon, and the blue sky made it look like a wild river and a wild ferry; over there, the dense bushes, the gloomy and eerie, seemed to hide endless darkness: it was almost unbelievable that it was the prosperous Qinhuai River. But the dazzling lights in the river, the crisscrossing painted boats, the melodious flute music, and the squeaking sounds of the huqin finally made us recognize the green and wine-like Qinhuai River. The sky here is more exposed, so the night comes later; from the clear water shadows, we feel only a thin night - this is the night of the Qinhuai River. Outside Dazhong Bridge, there was originally another Fucheng Bridge, which was the end of our journey in the boatman's words, or the end of the prosperity of the Qinhuai River. I once walked on the ridge of Fucheng Bridge when I was thirteen or fourteen years old. But I never saw Fucheng Bridge in the two trips to Qinhuai River. I know it is always in front of me, but I always feel that it is a little illusory. I think it is better not to see it.
