①中国一直就是一个诗的国度。先秦时期，诗歌是外交答对的基本凭借，到了汉代，“登高能赋，可以为大夫。”唐代以后，诗歌的写作成为登科入仕的基本科目。而现在，《中国诗词大会》的热播，使我们对诗歌产生了更深的情感。

②是啊，中国人在诗歌里不知不觉地完成了生命的成长，大自然给予人类的诗意是最丰富的，如果你是否愿意去寻找，诗意就会出现在你的眼帘，荡漾在你的心中。烂漫春光里能寻觅诗意，萧瑟秋景中能发现诗意，慈母的牵挂中能品味诗意，游子的愁情里能感悟诗意……诗歌里描绘的美景，能医治心灵的创伤；诗歌里蕴含的真情，让心境宁静温暖。

③ 在诗歌这种古老文字体裁的浸润下，中华民族一直追求着诗意生活。即使在山河破碎、生死考验的艰难中，诗歌依然是保持民族气节、鼓舞人心的力量。一首首动人心魄的诗歌，唤起的是历史的鲜活记忆。

If you like a more relaxing lifestyle, you can think about somewhere like Hangzhou, Suzhou or Chengdu. If you like a sea lifestyle, Xiamen or Qingdao would be great. They are all on the list of top ten, too. What's more, Nanjing and Tianjin are also on the top 10. Which city do you like?
