Imitate "Venice's boat" and write "Suzhou's boat"

If you come to Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, you will definitely be surprised by its "water streets" and you will definitely be fascinated by this city where water and sky are the same color. Its small bridges and flowing water are like people's homes. It has the characteristics of an ancient water town and is known as the "Venice of the East" and the "Water City of the East".

In this water world, small boats have become a very important means of transportation. Small boats in Suzhou refer to awning boats. Wupeng boats are a unique means of transportation in the water town of Shaoxing. They are named after the black awnings painted on them. The poet Lu You once said that it is "a light boat eight feet tall, with a low awning and three leaves." It has a narrow hull and wooden planks on the bottom. The quality of the planks is good, so even if there is leakage, the cabin will not get wet. Straw mats are spread on the wooden boards, and you can lie down casually or sit comfortably.

Not only is the inside of the boat comfortable, but the appearance is also very imposing, looking like a majestic warrior. Mighty yellow The top of the boat is like a tower, which is very spectacular. The windows on the left and right are transparent and almost floor-to-ceiling, allowing people on the boat to enjoy the charming Suzhou comfortably. At the front, there is a big door in the middle, which should be the exit. There are two lifebuoys installed on the left and right sides of the door. The awning boat is driven by oars. The rower sits at the back, holding the oar tucked under his arm with one hand, and stepping on the end of the oar handle with both feet. When his legs stretch and retract, the oar hits the water up and down.

The boat travels very fast, reaching a speed of more than 10 kilometers per hour. Slowly open the window, and the fresh air rushes into your face. You feel refreshed and relaxed. You chat and laugh with the enthusiastic friends on the left and right, and you are always happy. It was so happy. After passing the pleasant place, the talking and laughing stopped, and the eyes were intoxicated by the small bridges and flowing water in the houses. At this time, no one wanted to write poems and compose music to express their uncontrollable mood. .Everyone opens their mind and is in that hazy realm.

The role of the small boat is great. In the morning, adults use it to go to work; children use it to go to school; old people use it to go to school. It goes to the park for morning exercise. At noon, people take it home or go out for lunch.

The moon rises and stands guard, the moonlight covers the earth, and the little bits of light make Suzhou more charming. The river changes from green to green Lan, lying calmly. Throwing a pebble, the river water immediately splashed with ripples. The whole city was extremely quiet, with only a few small boats driving and people walking. It was like a wonderful show had ended perfectly. ……
