The mountain around the city, one of the eight scenic spots, has not been seen for several years. Yu Nian, the grandson, was drinking with his colleagues upstairs. Suddenly, he saw a lonely tower standing high in the sky on the top of the mountain. He looked at each other in surprise, but there was no such monastery in his mind. Nothing. I didn't know it was a mountain city until I saw dozens of palaces and blue tiles flying. A few days later, the high wall was towering for six or seven miles, which was really a battleground for military strategists. Hundreds of millions of people own a building, a hall and a square. Suddenly, the wind is blowing, the dust is boundless, and the city is just blurred. As soon as the wind clears up, everything is gone, leaving only a dangerous building and going directly to lonely people. There are five buildings with wide windows; There is a queue at five o'clock, also outside the building.

Layer by layer index, the higher the building, the less bright it is. Count to the eighth floor and cut it like a star. On top of it, it is hazy and there are countless levels. And the people upstairs come and go, or rely on or rely on, not the same. Over time, the building is getting lower and lower, revealing the top; Gradually return to normal buildings; Gradually fell in love with tall houses; Suddenly, like a fist, like a bean, out of sight.

I also heard that there were early walkers who saw the crowded shops on the mountain, which was unparalleled in the world, so it was also called the "ghost market" cloud.

The "mountain city" mentioned here, like Haicheng, is a natural scene formed by refraction and reflection. It's beautiful and strange, but it rarely appears once in a few years. Only a few lucky people can see it by chance, and most people can only look and sigh. This article, written according to eyewitness's account, vividly reproduces the process of the mountain city from its emergence to its disappearance, and can be beautifully written in both the outline and the nuanced description.

The "mountain city" around the mountain is one of the eight scenic spots in Zichuan County, but it often does not appear once every few years. One day, Sun and his friends were drinking upstairs. Suddenly, he saw a lonely pagoda on the top of the mountain, towering into the sky. Look at me, I look at you, surprised and confused, thinking that there is no Buddhist temple near here. Not long after, I saw dozens of palaces with high roofs with blue tiles, only to know that they were originally "mountain cities". Not long after, the high city wall (appeared again) and the short concave-convex wall (at the top) stretched for six or seven miles, which turned out to be a city. There are pavilions, halls and neighborhoods in the city, which are clearly presented in front of us, countless. Suddenly there was a strong wind and thick smoke, and the whole city became blurred. After a while, the wind stopped and the sky was mysterious. All the previous scenes have disappeared. There is only one tall building, which is connected with the sky. There are five rooms on each floor, and the windows are all open. There are five bright places, the sky outside the building.

Point to the number layer by layer, the higher the room, the smaller the bright spot; Counting to the eighth floor, the bright spot is only as small as a star; Further up, it becomes dim, as if there is nothing, and its level cannot be seen clearly. People come and go upstairs, each doing his own thing, some leaning against (the railing) and some standing with different postures. After a while, the building became lower and the roof could be seen. Gradually, it becomes the same as ordinary buildings; Gradually, it became a high bungalow; Suddenly, it shrunk to the size of a fist, to the size of a bean, and finally disappeared completely.

I also heard that some people who get up early and are in a hurry see houses, markets and shops on the mountain, which is no different from the situation on earth, so people call it "ghost market".

Appreciation: The whole process of Guanshancheng can be divided into three stages.

1. Primary stage: from solitary tower to palace.

This is the picture in the eyes of witnesses. The article also describes the psychological changes of witnesses: when they saw the solitary tower, they were "concerned and puzzled", indicating that it appeared suddenly and was similar to the real scene, which made people "surprised", but when they thought that there was no such temple recently, they had to "doubt" and didn't know it was a "mountain city" until the palace appeared. This way of writing takes the reader to the place where the witness is.

What followed was what the witness saw, but the reader's feeling changed: everything seemed to be seen with his own eyes.

2. Development stage: the appearance of battlements.

First, I always write: "The high wall is proud, running six or seven miles." There is quite a feeling of grandeur. Then write separately: "There are hundreds of millions of people with buildings, halls and squares." Although a few words, it can induce readers to imagine a picture similar to the riverside scene on Qingming Festival. This picture finally disappeared in the wind, which was disappointing.

3. The climax stage: the appearance of dangerous houses.

Because "the wind will be clear and everything will be empty", there is only one dangerous building high above, so the shape of the building is particularly clear, and even the sky outside the building is exposed, giving people the feeling that the distance is shorter than that of the previous battlements. What's more special is that there are people coming and going upstairs, which is no different from the world, giving people a sense of intimacy and enhancing the interest in viewing. Finally, the disappearance of dreamland is quite similar to the fading scene in film and television, which makes people memorable.

At the end of the article, I wrote about the "ghost market" on the mountain, which is a supplementary pen and has the function of taking care of the beginning, indicating that this place can really see this strange phenomenon.
