Walking from South Street to the entrance of the Academy, it suddenly seemed quiet. On both sides of the road, behind the tall locust tree, the red painted lattice door was half open, and large and small lake pens hung from the eaves. A road soaked in ink spread out for about 570 meters in the distance, and the rich ancient style came to my face. There are more than 100 shops, such as steles, celebrity calligraphy and painting, seal cutting, Four Treasures of the Study, etc., which are concentrated on both sides in rows. On the second and third floors of the carved pavilion, there are gold-lettered plaques with the same color on a black background, on which the names of Cui Wenting, Zuishuxuan, Jukanzhai and Hao Yue Palace are written. The facade of the shops here is neither exquisite nor beautiful, nor magnificent as Beijing Dashilan. Instead, it is simple and simple, with few complicated decorations on the facade, plaques, couplets and deep and narrow doorways, showing an elegant and auspicious atmosphere. The goods sold by merchants include various tourist souvenirs, handicrafts and so on. The products that best embody the characteristics of Moxiang Ancient Culture Street are a wide variety of Four Treasures of the Study, calligraphy fonts, scrolls of traditional Chinese painting, rubbings, beautiful jade in Lantian and ancient musical instrument "Yu".
This street is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are some antique buildings on both sides of the road. There are some shops in the building-selling lake pens, famous calligraphy and painting, ancient books and so on.
People with knowledge go to the academy to read "books", which include books, paintings and all related things. There are many shops selling calligraphy and painting here. There are not only many works of folk painting and calligraphy lovers, but also many works of famous artists and some fakes. Go deeper into the street of Shuyuanmen, and there are more and more shops selling calligraphy and painting. There are also many street stalls, which are actually desks with Four Treasures of the Study and paintings written by their owners. The owner writes, paints and sells works here, but enjoys this life of cultivating sentiment and learning skills from each other. Among them, there are many experts with profound skills and excellent works. Every year, a large number of famous painters and painters gather in Xi 'an, where various exhibitions are held for dozens of times.
