In 2002 the last weekend of December 28 this day is a good weather, sitting for nearly two hours by car, and finally saw their names heard so much about the Yangtze River Delta Wuzhen.
With the flow of people into view, into a bluestone brick paved trails, vaguely able to find the moss perennial born dependent. Did not walk for a while, I heard a pounding on drums in front of the sound was originally boxing ship docked at the shore, I saw a young hero playing a set of knives, though Lueqian spirit come out, but a continuous roll on the ground, issued bitter wind is blowing the cold light pole, have made people on the land are endless applause. Juvenile Gang and yet another up two stout middle-aged man, to dance for a while machetes, spears, weapon strikes the hours, save Keqiang powerful, next to the boat along the Gezhe 18 and a half weapons, surely they will show, can not help but admire the incessantly.
Wuzhen Street from the east head west, go to first cross the bridge, an East Market River east-west one town, a lounge bridges north and south two planes Tung Street. Bridge name "Feng-Yuan Shuangqiao" is optional water door to accommodate a bar and wanted to be this piece of water multiplied dozens of generations of people, water source, so called "Feng-Yuan," it, Feng-Yuan may have coincided with the financial resources like it.
Early winter Wuzhen, Tung Tau is so lonely, as if not from the Millennium sleep revived. Entering a quiet mansion compound, called "The 100 Hall," hundreds of Menger outline in gold frame with carved lintel lying still with the big bed, sleeping with. These beds, although there is no red Qiao account, mandarin duck pillows, tapestries have been, but enough to see the town's rich past, luxury. Particularly those with a three door mahogany bed grid, but also is stunning: Foreign Office is changing his shoes, is dressed Office, where is the play area. Pierced flower bed under the plate on three sides, there are better small drawer, maybe put snacks, jewelry and other small items bar. This three-carved bed, like an extremely wealthy pocket of the three-compound is a fine house in the House.
We followed the crowd into a deep alley, much will be able to smell wine bursts, went inside to understand is the seat before Fils, is the so-called "sell themselves", Wuzhen specialty 3 white wine, on a here, has said that the rice, flour, and white water brew on the betrayals. Hundreds of Jiuweng layers piled up together has been very magnificent collection inside is sweet and intoxicating liquor by the three. The local people greeted us warmly, saying that a free taste of a little money, three cups a wine has been cool to the heart, even the little girl who did not drink also said that taste good taste good. Next to a small jar, but also the local specialty - sweet and waxy in BRANDIED.
Blue cloth, known as a Chinese folk art must also Wuzhen specialty area. About Blue Calico Museum, see the front of the house wide drying ground, chatting up the tall wooden stand. Wooden frame and full of good just hanging with blue printing and dyeing cloth, the wind comes, it will be the wind the sky blue cloth, such as Ge compete in 1000. Here pictures of the many visitors, especially those who wear red with a green girl who is nostalgia here, decorated with flowers. This later turned into a blue cloth Xiao Ao blue flowers, blue flowers bamboo skirts, blue flower turban, and blue Huasan ... ... each piece is unique color with southern charm.
Meandering alley forward, it can not be a head to see a transparent, which is perhaps where the bar charm. Continue straight for a while, we arrived at a crowded place, the entrance hung, "former residence of Mao Dun," and, in this small town out of this literature, we really unexpected. Mao Dun's life all the way from the introduction to his study hall, Zaojian, dining hall, table is a common table, an ordinary kitchen stove, people have changed, wondering when this great writer he was facing the children of those left behind bit by bit when the place should be thinking what is it? Wuzhen celebrities, in addition to Mao Dun, where there is a Hanlin first, saying that is the summer with the good, maybe some people do not know the summer with the good, but to bring the story of Yang Nai-wu and the cabbage on the well known. Yang Nai-wu and cabbage for the redress of grievances, and it is the summer with the good.
Wuzhen Street is farther lively, When we arrived at Tau has been a hubbub of human voices, and noon time sunlight is warm. North western part is built in the Song concept of self-cultivation. Opposite concept of self-cultivation, is Dynasty's concept of self-cultivation stage, which is south of Yangtze River town preserved only on the stage. Stage there is Xieshan-style roofs, cornices Qiao Jiao, dignity. On that day, is being staged locally Tongxiang Flower Drum Opera "LOH Nga Hill", is said to be a cross between between Huangmei and Shaoxing opera, I was not listening to understand, a lot of local people Daoshi stop watch, hear out the taste pretty well.
Side of string and wind music yet, there has sounded the beat of the gongs and drums, but also what a show it? I Xunsheng west, percussion came from a room, the original is being played out, "Shadow." Ah, that is, since I have heard of but never seen the shadow. A white cloth hanging in front of around two tree trunks can be regarded as set, for a burst of percussion sound, the protagonist played, and one is the Monkey King, one cow devil, and styling with great nuance, and very realistic. No dialogue, only to see a bustling crowd Bale. While the Monkey King and the devil are changing the body type, one crane, one snake, another burst of combatants spar. A crane will see victory in Shupang leisurely combing the feathers, posture lightweight, very expressive. Performance time is very short, also five minutes from it, made me a taste of some different kind of style.
Forward some, several shops showed a thick school of business climate, all the way visiting the years, shoes and hats shop, bamboo stores, pottery shops, mounting shop ... ... inadvertently looked up and saw a pearls of "when" word embedded in the wall, it should be to the pawnshop in. Walks toward the former, gesturing about, just be able to hit his head "when" the word bottom, a big sigh of style呀. The lion's head from a pawnshop a heavy nail into the courtyard gate, came to this side of the wealthy at that time, "Huiyuan pawn," we all went back inside to simulate a pawn shop apprentices, standing at the counter window, look down the high enough to have a man's height. Here also introduced "when the font" and the job title of (a lack, 2 missing, etc.).
Wuzhen history of sericulture snag a very long, or in order to retain the customs, and today saw a grandmother to cocoon (of twins can not be shed into the pupa cocoon) dipped warm water breaking, and then in the water the silk out, finally lifted the thinning can be used to make clothing, blankets, etc.; there are silkworms sight-seeing, in this board there is a very high bamboo poles, is said to be locals dressed in white clothes on a bamboo pole performing a variety of actions, a symbol of silkworms, and wished then silk harvest.
Time as the water flow away unconsciously, and one-day tour will be ended, all the way back along the river's south bank to go south not the north shore of the noise, only to fall back on the millennium of quartzite Road and the river corridor. From time to time have filled with tourists, Wu Pengchuan passing, I really envy those who find it a pleasure of the tourists on board. Several of the ship wearing a blue-printed cloth scarf aunt to the boat to our side, "to do by boat ... ...." In the coast there are a few old people sitting together, enjoying the afternoon of warm sun, is not in the coefficient of the old town is it?
In the back of pedestrians, it was still pondering over the bridge Wuzhen, green water, bluestone tiles, ancient stage, went to the other town's people feel that the taste of Wuzhen is the most pure, and remain in the minds of the sentence: This year, The Family Day, the value!
