Recognizing Hongjiang, from the altar on a red pepper Sina donkey introduction. Because of this trip is a transit point for Huaihua and Hongjiang just before walking from the Huaihua Shun naturally going to Hongjiang a visit, she can enlighten me once ancient Mall.
Yuanshui clear meandering stream in the window before, speeding bus on the road in the countryside, one and a half hours later arrived in Hongjiang. Eyes appeared a quiet open waters, it is sentimental Yuanjiang is still reluctant to leave, along the pier before the line, Yuanjiang after the intersection with the Wu Jiang eastward course. Terminal side of small shops, small groups of people playing mahjong in a leisurely tea. One good words for our talk in Hongjiang old history, talk in 1949 was 30000 Hongjiang bandits besieged the story of the courageous resistance of victory was very proud of. Unfortunately, the language barrier, the resulting information is intermittent.
*** *** Old Zhaizi
Hongjiang the river road are some shops along the street, and other small towns have no difference. However, many small alleys along the road can be narrow quartzite along the road, went inside to go to those deep inside the old Zhaizi. Where is the Ming Dynasty temple, fair grounds, the Qing Dynasty yamen, a banking house, inns, Republic of smoke Museum, schools, newspapers, and we do not have time and can not in-depth understanding and distinction between, it goes without saying that we have taken from this blocks of deep-house where they had been through the vicissitudes of history and are then Mimizaza, carved in the windows and doors, walls, pillars, as well as inside the furniture display. Gone through a mansion, let us get up early the peasant woman entered the room, so the sound of the stairs along the Zhiya has been to her house on the third floor, in the Clothesline to the present day, walked a difficult path, the old wood in general, we honor from the heights overlooking the panoramic view of ancient mall, between trance can vaguely trace to its past glory.
*** Small MM and marked mustard packets ***
In a maze of lanes walk through, it seems that do not feel the passage of time has also met the overwhelming majority of the elderly and children. We just joined the old Mall cruise, I saw a small school uniforms Meiqingmuxiu MM in the hair, and she side with curious eyes watching us, the side with the street level as we do not know when the hand is also holding a Roubao Zi eat while walking. Zhen-Xiang ah! I could not help making major changes to the index finger, his eyes searching up everywhere.
Finally I have found along the road there is a monopoly shops steamed buns (called X in mind big packs, remember a), 5 Mao money to buy a marked mustard of steamed buns, and really good food, sweet steamed buns skin , which put a lot of genuine mustard and red pepper, so that the first time I tasted the taste of the powerful Xiang.
Posters and notices *** ***
Hongjiang a lot of posters and notices, from another angle, exposed the shortcomings and ills of this ancient city. Such as fire, in the old mall is extremely important, because the old wooden structures are Zhaizi, although both the firewall, but once the patronage Vulcan, after all, difficult to resist. In a doorway to see such a notice to the effect that a Jiantao Shu, because of his carelessness caused the fire, and burning someone else's house, in the county government under the leadership of education recognized the error, is hereby reviewed and so on, impressive.
Another example is theft, should be more rampant in Hongjiang, the way this kind of slogan seen everywhere, especially in a door stuck a notice, saying that here is a Chai Fang, thieves Mo Come in, come in vain, and so is also a warning, if not added theft in the last entire Hongjiang adversely affect the reputation of the words, the connotation of this notice to upgrade to a new level, it is up to ordinary notice, and reveals a people for the theft of helplessness and hatred.
Another example is drug prohibition and drug use disorder refuse advertising, is also not uncommon in Hongjiang. The funeral can be seen everywhere one-stop business ads tell us a Hongjiang aging trends, and young adults who leave home to earn a living reality. No wonder that the road to see are old people and children, and few young men.
It is worth mentioning is that people are well Hongjiang love their home, many people cut in front of all the newspapers stuck on the old mall Hongjiang introduction and county government on the development of tourism, protection of residential areas, fire prevention notice, we can see up to the The Government, the next and the people are all from the heart, hope Hongjiang to develop tourism and improve urban construction. But looking ahead, Hongjiang is still poor, the old Zhaizi severely damaged, old and new construction planning improper disorderly manner coexist. Hongjiang If you want to continue to develop, break the backward status quo, there is still a long way to go.
In two short hours, we saw the deterioration of Hongjiang, but ruined the story behind it is still gathering dust. Holding slightest chance, two points down, and perils enough, we left the Hongjiang. Which river is still flowing Yuanshui quiet for us farewell.
We are lucky, fortunate in Hongjiang yet to be developed, or authentic old, in addition to our six-member delegation, did not see a tourist; the same time, a bit disappointed, because it's an old house, neither the ancient dwellings of the atmosphere in southern Anhui China and the United States nor Jiangnan's delicate features refined, eyesight As a result, apart from run-down or dilapidated; cursory manner Chuanjiezouxiang, naturally enough, believes that the better the scenery is still deep.
If you have time, and if you want to Wanbian western Hunan, and makes a taste, I suggest you go to Hongjiang walk, where the original old;
If you're in a hurry, if you have been to Wuyuan, Anhui, I suggest you abandon of Hongjiang, it is not a wise choice.
