1. Since the moment I was born, I have been living in this small ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. Every day I walk in the morning mist, roam on the gravel roads, and bathe in the In the sweet and fresh air, I watched the small bridge and flowing water, and listened to the sound of oars.
2. Water! A small stream flows quietly, like a silver chain in the sun. I quickly played in the water, with smooth bluestone slabs, small black fish... The water was very clear, and the large pebbles on the river bed were clearly visible. Many children, big and small, were playing and playing in the water. The water splashed everywhere and turned into a pearl necklace in the air, fresh and clear. The splashing water drops fell, causing small ripples, crystal clear and colorful.
3. The slates are clear, and the various slates are naturally put together. The high and low stone slabs led the road to a new corner again. There are also many colors of slates, including cyan, which is pure and flawless, green with black, and green with some fresh emerald green. Observing carefully, I seemed to hear a gentle tapping and saw the years of growth rings.
4. When I open my palms, countless palm prints seem to rise into the sky, glowing with fireflies, intertwining into a mysterious illusion; for a moment, it is the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River that I have longed for, and in the blink of an eye, it merges into the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The clear snow water suddenly raised a solemn totem, and finally a lonely cliff stood up. I looked down at the cliff. Under the cliff is a clear and deep blue lake. I can have a glimpse of the girl in green shirt who loves poetry and is obsessed with literature. She came here in the waves, and in the sudden review of history, she transformed into nirvana...
5. At the end of the road, there is a place that has not been seen for a long, long time. The human-managed stage was surrounded by weeds and was very empty and dark inside. Candles were lit, and the flames swayed in the wind that came through the holes in the wall... The former glory of this stage was reduced to nothing. The dust on the wood will remain in people's memories forever.
6. The mottled walls leave marks year after year. The rows of houses are neatly arranged, and the eaves are gently tilted upward, seeming to be a beautiful smile. The faded red bricks and blue tiles also show their age. The mystery of the ancient town is elusive, but it seems that it can't bear the things it has buried for so long, it has buried so many things, and finally it can no longer hide. It wants to talk, it wants to give This piece of sky and land tells the story of those ancient and mysterious past...
7. Xitang's specialties are also famous at home and abroad! For example, tofu pudding, stinky tofu, Bazhen cake, Gorgon cake, etc. Oh, especially the stinky tofu and Gorgon cake. The pieces of golden stinky tofu are coated with a layer of chili sauce, and when you take a bite, they are crispy, fragrant, and taste great! Tourists eat while walking, and the whole ancient town is filled with the enticing aroma. As for the glutinous rice cake, the meat is plump and soft, refreshing and delicious, which makes people salivate.
8. Sitting in the awning boat, we either tell each other jokes, or listen to the friendly oar sound of the awning boat. Listen, it’s so rhythmic. Da..." Or eating the fragrant white sugar in each hand, how happy it is. 18. When you arrive in Xitang, don’t miss taking a awning boat ride after dinner. The red lanterns were lit up on the boat, which complemented the lanterns under the eaves on the shore. Sitting on the bow of the awning boat, sipping tea and facing the cool breeze, a refreshing feeling emerged spontaneously. The moonlight and lights reflect on the water surface, like little sparks igniting the sparkling river surface. The river water therefore becomes warmer. It is really like "people passing through the water and the sky, and the up and down shadows shaking the bottom of the moon."
9. Strolling through Nanxun Old Street, you will find the river not far from your feet. Since it is a water town, there must be wind. The slightest breeze blows across the water, causing crow's feet to appear in the river, which is very interesting.
10. People are even more friendly. After bathing in clean water, I feel more relaxed physically and mentally. The grandmother who sells rice cakes is very hospitable and invites us to eat rice cakes. Brush oil and add ingredients. Very fragrant and delicious! We came to the wooden and bamboo shop. The old man played with bamboo trees for us and took us to see the treasures. What an eye-opener. For dinner, the old man made us two-faced yellow noodles and small cucumbers... Two strange families became extremely familiar in this dear ancient town.
11. When you walk into Heping Town, you will still be amazed by its traditional culture, simple folk customs and rich specialties that have been preserved to this day. The scholarly aroma of "Peace Academy" is still lingering on the sleeves of the villagers, and the folk culture of respecting teachers, valuing teaching, and embracing learning has permeated many students. The atmosphere of studying and studying here is rich, the writing style is prosperous, and the people are outstanding. From the Tang Dynasty to the abolition of the imperial examination, Heping produced 137 Jinshi, and was known as the "Hometown of Jinshi". There are quite a lot of folk literature, folk music, drama and dance relics here. There are more than 70 kinds of dances alone, mainly including flower drum lanterns, qiqiao lanterns, stilt walking, knife and flower dance, etc. What is particularly precious is the peaceful preservation that started with slaves. Social Nuo dance can be said to be a living fossil of ancient culture. Farmhouse water and wine, Heping carp, Heping tofu, Heping rice noodles, etc. allow visitors to experience the leisure and warmth of the thousand-year-old ancient town.
12. Take off your shoes, step barefoot on the calm stone road, and feel the gentleness of this ancient town like a woman from the south of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty. That is another pleasant thing, and it is the same as watching The sound waltzes into a completely different feeling. What is that? It should be gentle and quiet. It's so quiet here that it seems like it doesn't exist. However, her beauty cannot be ignored.
13. As soon as you entered the town, you smelled a Jiangnan flavor. Crossing the Wolong Bridge, strolling along Beizha Street and the river pier, a few women beat their clothes with mallets. On the shore, wisps of white smoke from the coal stove were rising.
In the distance, the winding green mountains are vaguely visible, and a slanting sun shines down from the top of the mountains, giving the impression of "there is a home deep in the alley".
14. The haze gathered in the sky of the ancient town, and the drizzle gathered from the upturned corners of the eaves. They fell down, hit the small potholes on the ground, splashed a small amount of water, and broke into pieces. , dispersed, and gathered again. Soon, the sky above the eaves and the ground below were shrouded in a confused whiteness that seemed to encompass the entire world. At this time, every household tightly closed its windows and doors, which was like a heart locked tightly for fear of being harmed by the outside world. However, there is another dilapidated door that seems to be open but not open, and seems to be closed but not closed.
15. In the misty Jiangnan ancient town, with bluestone street boards and moss growing along the water, she comes and goes as elegantly as a lotus, dressed in pure white, composing her elegant legend in the fragrance and tranquility. , those dusty fragments of poems, suffused with damp breath, the passionate woman, full of talent, took root in such a familiar city, but eventually left, leaving the world with endless regrets and those heavy of love and regret.
16. In Jiangnan in winter, there is no mist and mist. Although it is not as cold as the north, the rest is still cold, but it also has a charm. Walking on the bridge in the ancient town of Jiangnan, recalling the ancients walking there look like. Although we have traveled a lot, I still fall in love with the night view of Jiangnan and the simple water style of Jiangnan.
17. In this ancient town, even the paths paved with bluestones are so quaint. The fiery red high-heeled shoes collide with the green-brown stone slabs, and the "dong-dong" sound they make sounds like a piano. Playing fairy-like notes, they laughed and ran, as beautiful as the sunshine dancing on the city wall, dancing a gorgeous waltz.
18. Jiushi Ancient Street is known as the “No. 1 Street in Fujian”. The ancient street is more than 600 meters long and 6-8 meters wide. The center of the street is paved with bluestone slabs. From north to south, it forms "nine curves and thirteen bends" according to the situation, like a blue dragon about to fly in the sky. There are nearly a hundred criss-crossing cobblestone lanes on both sides of the ancient street. They are long or short, wide or narrow, with high walls and narrow lanes, which are simple and remote.
19. We visited the ancient Jiangnan town with small bridges and flowing water. The town was very prosperous, with rice shops, cloth shops, barber shops, pawn shops... Some students even went to touch the rice and see. Check to see if it is real rice.
20. The summer in Suzhou is rainy, and the drizzle falls from the sky like wisps of cow hair, covering every corner of the water town, making the name "Misty Rain Jiangnan" vivid and vivid. During the seven-day holiday, we didn’t have to travel far. Following Yun’er’s wishes, the three of us went to the ancient town of Zhouzhuang in nearby Kunshan City. Yun'er didn't know how happy she was along the way. As soon as she got off the car, she couldn't wait to run into the crowd, walking through the streets and alleys, not caring about our footsteps. And I was carefully looking at the tourists walking by, quietly admiring every scene here. Strange buildings, small bridges, and light boats are all visible, and a smile of joy hangs on the corner of the mouth. Hui Yi behaved very quietly and stayed by my side nonchalantly.
21. The tile-roofed house is clear, with earthy gray walls. The tiles are arranged neatly and orderly on the wooden shelves, which is neither monotonous nor boring. A simple and clear feeling came over me. This kind of beauty: it is a kind of characteristic beauty. The wooden beams are arranged horizontally and vertically, and the exquisite dragon heads at the joints mean that a person is flying like a dragon. The wooden frame is engraved with exquisite patterns, which is pleasing to the eye. The flying dragons and phoenixes, the beautiful mountains and clear waters... just hearing the name makes people feel comfortable.
22. The splendor of that night whitewashed whose years, the poems and paintings engraved on the desk, brightened and extinguished the scars in whose memory, where you said your dream would not settle down, your picture folder spread out The ink paintings of Jiangnan are in rain lanes, in ancient towns, and in every dreamy moment we walk together. But you still chose to wander all over the world, with your thick picture folder and messy hair entangled with my lifelong worries. You said you like Sanmao's writing, listen, Gentle Night, Jose.
23. The sky was gradually darkening when we returned home. I looked at Xitang Ancient Town reluctantly. This sentimental ancient town in the Jiangnan water town makes people forget their impetuosity and find a touch of tranquility in the chaos. It is so beautiful that it makes people feel distressed
24. In the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the raindrops are as thin as needles and flutter like beads. The curtain is crystal clear, washing away the dust and smoke in the air, and returning the sky to a clear and transparent blue. In the dust of the wind and rain, the ancient town has a quaint cultural heritage, the black bricks and tiles, the edges and corners like an eagle about to fly, the gray walls, the closed doors, the solemnity and majesty, telling the deep love and hatred in many courtyards. It reflects the pampering and disgraceful lives of many dignitaries and conceals the secrets of best friends, every bit of it, all drifting away with the mist.
25. When you come to Anchang Ancient Town, looking around, it seems like you have returned to the past. You see, the road paved with stone slabs, the bridge paved with stone slabs, and the pillars made of stone slabs. If tourists were asked to put on ancient costumes, it would be impossible to tell whether they were modern or past.
26. It is a folk song full of the local flavor of Nanwuyi, which has been sung from afar to the present; it is a simple pearl, shining brightly from afar to today; it is a museum with a long history, shaking off Dust, what remains is precious. It is the ancient town of Heping that miraculously retains more than 300 ancient dwellings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
27. As we walked by, we came to a department store again without knowing it.
When I went in and took a look, the goods inside were really antique. Look, umbrellas woven from silk, little figures made from bamboo, and tea sets carved from wood. It's so addictive that I really want to buy all of them and take them home, but unfortunately I don't have that much money in my pocket.
28. The vermilion paint on the door has changed beyond recognition, and only a small part can distinguish the bright red, but the "Double Happiness" that has long since turned white is still pasted on the door. Gently teasing the broken door, the door made a "squeaky" laugh. In the dark room, an old woman sat, holding needle and thread in her hand, sewing the clothes in her arms. Maybe it was like this many years ago. Only because of this, the thin wrinkles on the clothes in her arms would slowly climb up her smooth forehead, so she transformed from a young woman into an old man with silver hair. woman.
