So this is what Wuzhen? ! - Mar .30.2002
MM and I live in the Yu Garden Inn street a standard room, everything is good, that is too noisy. 7:00 am was not reached on the fights over and over again, his eyes could not open Kun may be too disturbing been extremely conscious brain. So painfully stay up eight or nine, were forced to Qile Chuang. Today is Saturday, is a good weather, the sun had climbed up, and so we go out from the hotel, Xitang's Street and the bridge had been crowded with visitors. Are wondering where to go to solve the problem of food and clothing, watch the sunset of the bridge yesterday to see either side of the two sets of burden, one side is Maidou Fu spent one side are selling a small wonton, the burden of the owner of two age-matched for the elderly. We all want a tofu gray and refreshing, with no beany flavor; small wonton really small, and thin skin is the crape's thin as to be almost transparent, thin Deburenxia mouth, well, do not bite, "said A Wu, "one swallow of the bar.
We are not willing to go home like good weather, the ambitious want to bring Wuzhen is also a clean sweep. Sat bound by the Xitang CMB Jiaxing, Jiaxing bus stop nibbling at the sweet honey pineapple and was told that recently a group of grid has been sold out tickets to Wuzhen, Tongxiang Xiangyemeixiang immediately bought a ticket to go, then transfer to Wuzhen, Tongxiang, along bumpy, the heat intolerable. Vehicles on the road to open the way to see many signs point to Huzhou, South Au and other places, the heart itch, and can catch upwith go to that, that, that place? Quickly rejected the idea of their own.
Direct bus to Wuzhen is strongest when the sun, heat, has been off the impossible and then off. Tired, hot, hungry and forced us on the one little three, from the bus station to the entrance of a short 3 Wuzhen Town, 400 meters distance from the black heart of the coachman Tongzhan us, inability to argue with him, stuffed the money matter. Who tide, using words to describe it in front of me, but the most appropriate in Wuzhen. Opposite the plaza of the ancient stage allegedly Jian Yuqing Qianlong fourteen years, age-old has been. Ancient stage ago Street, Street Temporary a river, the river is also a gray old ancient buildings of old wooden houses, seemingly with the Xitang similar style, the left is the same, but the size of too big a word, all entrances and exits of each street by a local staff guarded, non-ticket-free entry! Wolia frustrating because after all the way, has lost thrift's insistence, did not want to bother to find no one fortified entrance, immediately bought a ticket in the import crowd.
Stone bridge, river water, old house, the stone street, crowds, the streets in Wuzhen moving forward very slowly, when it feels like the National Day Guandeng Nanjing Road. Street shops but many of the features and sell all kinds of blue cloth to do tourist souvenirs; selling wooden comb horn sheep, and also the spot is done in accordance with requirements; there is a selling silk, and can own eyes the old woman sitting at the door to a small cocoon and hauled pull, while the effort to put it on without any break to pull into a thin layer, really wonderful. Went a little cloister Department, went so far as no people, corridor walls all the time of Ming and Qing Dynasties inscriptions, corridors around a small lake river, the river there are two dilapidated wooden bow proudly stood three or four cormorants Ci, cormorant's coat is not beautiful, to give up the idea with photo. Wuzhen the water is unclear, even more than Xitang still muddy, and the narrow river. The river there is a blue one yellow two ships ominous performances, roaring like the sound of brake excitement for the town Tim has a beautiful landscape, there might be contained Wu Pengchuan tourists crowded the narrow river, the one attached 1, looking like a bunch of crabs. Alas, helpless.
See Feng-Yuan Shuangqiao is the side of the street to an end, to cross the bridge to the other side go. The so-called "Feng-Yuan Shuangqiao", that the bridge is a left and right sides, which are separated by a wall displaying, which means "have it both ways," At first glance, thought it was a bridge and Xitang is the twin brother of that then. Would like pictures of the bridge, Keren too much and I MM to lay down their backpacks, put a stand on the bridge pose, one at the bridge carrying his camera waiting for an opportunity, take the opportunity to enjoy the cool breeze Xiao Xie, and patience in the struggle for nearly half an hour later, got what they wanted.
The other side of the bridge so I am very disappointed Linhe the house, the house, or house, can not stroll along the river frontage is a great regret. The first bridge across the shop, is a big facade in herbal medicine shop, large sturdy desk behind the counter is a big row in the medicine cabinet, leaning against the whole wall, a small child, who suffered bubble in Chinese medicine for 8 years of my a Chinese pharmacy has a special nostalgic feeling emerges out of my father holding my hand, affixed a hand-held with a dozen scenes of Chinese medicine, vivid.
In the two rows of tenements in the town shuttle, there are many attractions you can visit even the votes, such as wood carving Museum, 100 Museum, the Public Health distillery, blue cloth dye, etc., most of us no interest, straight into a blue cloth dye away. I remember last year's Shanghai International Film Festival, the French actress Sophie Marceau was in Wuzhen blue cloth dye inside a Match Friends, occupied the attention of many newspapers here. Dye a big yard sticks if they had erected a bamboo pole with horizontal blue strip of cloth hanging from the top down, cloth Xu is not for a long time, and experienced a lot of wind and sun, and blue are all made of white, combined with dye Village remains scattered endless crowd, standing on a dry cloth brush micro-wind frame, the can not find a trace of excitement and agitation. Forth in the blue cloth article, the Fake smile, leaving a shadow. MM facing the vicissitudes of the dye and dirty blue cloth article can still put tremendous seductive pose and smile, I served her.
Feel good, then went to the house to see how the live show on the sample. White tile on the table cloth, using the template button in the fabric, then coated with a layer of lime powder from the soy flour in proportion with the blending of Whey, Tu finished, take the template, cloth had been left on-board of the sample, block walk on the finished sample, take two weeks to dry before Naqu dyeing, coating the jiangshui tricks because soybean powder and lime powder relationship that will last not color, so we do become blue white flowers to the blue cloth.
Reading the dye, as if they had a wish of mine, who suddenly felt tired and hungry. And MM seated in a teahouse, sitting in the street bamboo chair, quality tea, take a look at the other side of the river and the scenery of repose. The other side seems to have a professional photographer to shoot Wuzhen brochure, with a small pupil, large barrel Small barrel to a lot of resistance, branch tea from the lens side of vertical shooting, the two from time to time to shout to the momentum of extraordinary.
Came out from the tea, the sun has been to the whereabouts of the town by tourists Burton, a long period of time, no one walked the streets. Rene Liu, Huang Lei and listen to local people that the past few days filming in Wuzhen, but I do not know where to find their trace. Back to the ancient stage of the square, guarded guards were also evacuated very quickly, as early as did the shadow. MM unwilling to empty-handed, in blue cloth shop where Daogu has just made, the election of the block header Bouza up, how to look is a pineapple head shape, Huo Tuotuo a copy of Daoming Si! Days suffused with gray, the river seemed increasingly to gloomy old house, Wuzhen seem to have returned to the quiet town, in the sunset under the gateway to the ancient maps atmosphere.
After noon, the bus station crowded with the sleeping town has become an empty car, and MM stopped on the roadside private car back to Tongxiang. Along the way he remembers those muddy waters, such as the weaving of people, everywhere blue cloth, black-hearted of the driver, and this is Wuzhen? !
