Xihu hang
Living in this small city, wasting time in trivial matters of life day after day will inevitably produce a sense of bondage. This is the season when grass grows and warblers fly. Colleagues are thinking about where to go on weekends, so they decided on Hangzhou in the discussion, and decided on Friday to pack up their backpacks and travel on Saturday morning.
"There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", which shows that Hangzhou is a paradise on earth. According to reports, Hangzhou belonged to Yangzhou before the Zhou Dynasty and was also one of the cradles of Wuyue culture. There are a large number of natural and cultural landscape sites here, as well as the famous university Zhejiang University. Its beauty and reputation have long been well-known overseas, so meeting such a city in Yangchun is as free and easy as Meng Haoran's March Fireworks in Yangzhou.
When we arrived in Hangzhou, it was already lunch time. Everyone tasted Hangzhou specialty "West Lake Vinegar Fish", which was really delicious and memorable. Visiting the West Lake after dinner is the first choice for Hangzhou. The car bypassed the Yuyuan Campus of Zhejiang University and stopped in the parking lot not far from the West Lake. Everyone got off and walked to the West Lake for more than ten minutes, but the road conditions were not good and there were construction workers and materials everywhere. The tour guide told us that roads are being built around the West Lake to prepare for the G20 summit led by President Xi in September. By then, the whole city will be completely new and beautiful. As the presidency, China will once again become the focus of the world's attention. I believe that the style and verve of our great country will once again attract the attention of the world, and this beautiful city will certainly attract international attention and admiration. Of course, many important international events and decisions will be made here.
The beautiful West Lake has arrived. It's exciting to think of all these upcoming events.
The breeze is slow, the sun is particularly bright, and you can sit on a cruise ship and look at the extreme. A lake is vast and blue, ships come and go, the willows on the shore are green, and tourists are woven. "Outside the Qingshan Building outside the mountain, when will the West Lake stop singing and dancing, and the warm wind will intoxicate tourists, and Hangzhou will become Bianzhou". The poem Lin 'an House by Lin Sheng, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, expressed his feelings of worrying about the country more than 800 years ago. Today, the last two sentences of this poem were mischievously sent to WeChat with pictures to tease the fun of this trip. This is taken out of context, because I compare the West Lake in Hangzhou with the West Sea in Lushan, and compare the West Lake with the West Sea near my hometown. It's just that there are too many relics by the West Lake and the history is too thick. In my eyes, this lake is also accompanied by many colors. Of course, beauty is beautiful, but I don't think it is as clear as the water in the west sea of Lushan Mountain. If described as a woman, Xihai is a beautiful little girl who has just grown up, while Xihu is an experienced woman. One for appreciation and the other for reading. Knowing that this kind of cognition and distortion of culture is contrary to history, it is also purely a personal opinion, which is as fleeting as the waves in this water.
West Lake is one of the top ten scenic spots in China and a pearl in Hangzhou. It is a place where people have gathered since ancient times, and it is also very lively. I remembered the dream of the West Lake written by Mr. Yu, saying that the West Lake "became famous too early, the relics were too dense, and the reputation was too heavy. It was ok to visit it, but it was difficult to get close to it." Here and now, I seem to have a proper sense of identity.
We saw the "building outside the building" on the shore of the lake at the tour guide. This ordinary and extraordinary building has also recorded many stories and changes in the past 100 years and received many celebrities and scholars. It stands beside the West Lake, adding color to it. There is also the Wang Yue Temple, with golden characters shining in the sun. Through these, it seems that it can be traced back to distant history. Since ancient times,
The national integrity and integrity of heroes have stood for thousands of years.
While sitting on the boat, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery, listening to the tour guide's allusions about the broken bridge and the legend of the long bridge and beam, as well as Su Xiaoxiao and Ruanlang, and the legend of the white snake. This is the birthplace of those sentimental love stories. Among them, Su Xiaoxiao Tomb and Leifeng Pagoda are always visited by tourists. How many people shed tears by the West Lake, and one heart melted into the West Lake a thousand times. A brothel woman lives in the hearts of generation after generation, and no one is light. The reason is another kind of value or spiritual weight, which is also a phenomenon in China's history and culture. White snake, a woman who is both a fairy and a demon, is deeply loved by countless people, enters people's spirit, and becomes another unique color in China culture. All these have added so many mysteries and bright colors to the West Lake, how can people not love it?
"Compared with the West Lake West Lake, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate", "The lonely pu is boundless and the lotus blooms at night" and "the scenery of the West Lake is six bridges, one willow and one peach" ... At that time, many poems about the West Lake jumped out of my mind. Facing the towering and misty modern buildings by the West Lake, I am imagining Bai Juyi and Su Dongpo living here as officials. These two literary masters left many masterpieces here, which, in the present words, should be propaganda for the spread of the reputation of the West Lake, and those masterpieces are also treasures in China's poetry library. What's rare is that these two masters were not only able to go boating on the lake, drinking and writing poems, but also good officials admired by everyone when they were officials at that time. They have done many good deeds, great events and practical things for the people on this shore, which greatly promoted and promoted the development and prosperity of economy, people's livelihood and culture here. They should be role models for all officials and China officials.
Perhaps there are too many articles and poems describing this paradise on earth, and I want to brew them in my stomach.
Brewing some words can be regarded as the impression of travel notes, but the words are poor. Perhaps the West Lake is too beautiful, but the story in it is too heavy and I am too superficial, so I just feel that I can't put pen to paper. Looking at the distant mountains and the nearby water, blowing a leisurely breeze, let the stories and scenes of ancient and modern times be confused and intertwined in my mind. Because of the rush of time, we can't go to every scenic spot, and it's inevitable to have regrets in our hearts, but it doesn't hurt to think about it. The more beautiful things are, the more you should stay in your heart, the more you should not realize them easily, but leave some meaning in your heart. I wonder if I will have a dream about the West Lake tonight? Dreaming of walking with literati who care about mountains and rivers, leaving a broken chapter or a few lines of loose sentences on this beautiful land? It's great that this trip has been successfully completed. ...
Xitang impression
Xitang, a place with a poetic name, is another stop of our trip. Sitting for hundreds of minutes to see is enough to give birth to hundreds of imaginations. However, due to motion sickness, my mind was blank, and I just closed my eyes deeply, hoping that the wind energy in Xitang would blow away the fatigue of the journey.
The tour guide said that Xitang is just a bridge in the middle, with two streets on both sides, which is very simple. Perhaps this is the view of people born and raised in Sri Lanka, and it must be another scenery in the eyes of foreign tourists. I think most famous places always have their own characteristics, and of course there are some elements of "heckling", because too many people like to pursue them now.
Walking into Xitang, rows of ancient buildings came into view, with white walls and tiles, flying over the walls. The buildings are patchwork but neat and unified, and the eaves gallery is covered with red lanterns, which looks quaint and festive.
It is really not easy for these ancient village buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties to be preserved so well. No wonder it was awarded the "Outstanding Achievement Award for Historical and Cultural Protection" by the United Nations. Although most houses have been built into storefronts or family hotels facing the street, the appearance and overall structure of houses have not changed. Wooden doors, lattice windows and alleys of different shades are connected with the stone arch bridge on the river, and you can walk to another part of the town from anywhere. These old houses, which have gone through vicissitudes of life, are the witness of history and a monument in the history of architecture, showing the outstanding wisdom of craftsmen of all ages everywhere.
A small river that is not too wide winds in it. The color of the river is dirty yellow-green, showing a morbid color of serious pollution, which inevitably makes me feel worried and disappointed. The awning boats moored vertically and horizontally in the river have an antique beauty, and there is a gurgling sound in the river, which reminds people that this is the hometown written by Lu Xun, or the boat that Mr. Wang went to see the social drama when he was a child. Time seems to have brought people into many years ago. Walking in such an ancient town of Jiangnan water town, an elegant charm suddenly dispersed. The bluestone road, stone arches, small bridges and flowing water, every alley and every housewife who is pulling bamboo poles to dry clothes here have a leisurely taste. We walked with many tourists in this ink painting in the south of the Yangtze River. The pace of coming and going slowed down with time and became serene and calm. Casual walking brought relaxation to the mind. Although there are all kinds of small shops here, they are bustling, but there is no heavy metal, hawking and noisy commercial atmosphere, showing a prosperous and peaceful street view.
A rough look at several private houses, Xiyuan, Zuiyuan, Zhongfutang, etc. Houses that used to be big houses were exquisite in structure and reasonable in layout, which should be considered luxurious at that time. Among them, the West Garden is said to be the garden of a wealthy businessman. The area is not too big, but there are flowers and trees, pavilions, and a tall pine tree by the rockery. The wind is coming, call it sideways.
The teahouse next to it is "Tingtaoxuan". It is reported that Mr. Liu Yazi stayed in this park on 1920, where he recited poems and took photos with friends. Since then, Xiyuan has become famous. However, what we are seeing now is only the imitation of the West Garden in the 1990s, and the old garden was destroyed in the 1950s. Now, the West Park can only be a place for friends of Mr. Liu Yazi to get together. I feel very sorry in my heart. I feel paranoid, thinking that although I spent a lot of time, my meaning has changed.
There is also a long misty and rainy corridor, which is another special feature of this ancient town. The promenade is very long, hundreds of meters. It has a street on one side and a river on the other, which is another unique scenery of Xitang. Promenade is a corridor shed built in all houses, which can keep out the sun and rain and attract tourists from all over the world with its unique appearance. Red lanterns are hung around the verandahs in this area. Everything in the lens is so poetic. In fact, they have carried hundreds of years of silent changes and vicissitudes, so what remains in my heart at this moment is an inexplicable sadness after crossing time. Under every eaves of the promenade, there are also shops arranged like chess pieces, mostly inns or snack bars, and there are many foods such as Euryale ferox cakes, steamed pork and fennel beans. Jane, Weiwei and I were all tempted by these foods and sat down in a small shop to enjoy the special food and the warm greetings from the proprietress.
I thought there wouldn't be too many tourists this season, but that's not the case. Every corner of this ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze River is crowded with tourists. It's a little difficult to stand on the bridge and take pictures. Those sketch photographers are also looking for places to choose angles. It's a bit gloomy, as if it's going to rain. If it rains, the misty rain corridor is really full of charm. I think the lilac-like girl in Rain Lane must have walked slowly from the alley of Xitang to Dai Wangshu's pen. Elegant and quiet sadness reaches people's hearts and becomes mottled emotions. This quaint town has a quiet, indifferent and simple vicissitudes.
Quality, quiet and leisurely, people just want to seize the time here and spend the morning and evening. There is no reason to think of the sentence "leaning against the building and listening to the wind and rain, ignoring the rivers and lakes". This scene here makes me yearn for it.
Xitang is simple and elegant, but it is also fashionable and prosperous. Strangely, these two styles don't conflict at all. Instead, they got the best combination here. It goes without saying that there are many petty bourgeoisie shops, and clothes with strong literary style can attract my attention most, but everyone walks with me, so I can't stop and wander alone.
Not every place can let the mind rest peacefully, but Xitang can. Let people like it in casual walking. After coming here, this Jiangnan ink painting will always be embedded in my dream, and I will always inadvertently flip my memory. The oars are thick, Wu Nong speaks softly, and there are various Cantonese operas. These historical voices have the power to penetrate time, and like this ancient town, they have a taste of washing away lead. The dust of a thousand years is hidden under the eaves of Xitang, and it has become a scroll of poetry and painting.
