Hangzhou under the heavy fog, delayed flights take off at noon from Jinan, and so arrived at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, is already Wanjiadenghuo of. Telephone contact with the Zhejiang counterparts, Fang know that they can not wait to have to go Taizhou, and be back the next afternoon. Seeing a morning to be wasted, I feel quite a pity, you pondering where to go take a look around. Consulting a moment, say the Wuzhen, Tongxiang worth a look, then borrowed a car, the next morning went.
This is the place, Zhejiang, a young man came several times, and the impression is very good, as time goes by and you still give birth to some constant obsession with pulling. Zhejiang gave me the first impression is hazy shadow of the mountain stream is the same as rain floating powder is a moist breeze, like silk, is clinging and inalienable sentimentally attached to. Now is the Lunar February 2, is the southern spring season of living in harmony with the car passing on the highway along the wide, greeted the fields, one yellow, one green, as well as the newly-turned black land, sketched out the southern spring scenery. The photogenic powder of green, mist fields, Ying Ying's inlets, the tranquil river, combined with the blue houses far and near, is clearly not the product could not finish a tour of the gouache paintings.
Dealers & a half hours, to Wuzhen. Wuzhen is located in the north of Zhejiang Tongxiang City, is located in Tongxiang, Jiaxing, Huzhou, and the junction of Wujiang City, Jiangsu Province, there are more than 60 kilometers away from Hangzhou, the distance. Spring and autumn due to Wu, who stationed themselves in this defense of Vietnam, and therefore named Wu Shu. Tang Xian Tong Jian-Wuzhen-year period, 1,100 years ago have been history.
For the south of these town, it is not strange impression. 20 years, the time came to Zhejiang Province, he visited several places, when every county towns and villages, almost all Zhefan style, and even the Old City of Hangzhou that is also much better than this. These years of development, and the last thing to give up, and built a new home. Keren is so nostalgic for the once in life, think of people living in that water bridges but relaxed and elegant. Now, relying on his years of treasure, people like to save their own diary, as listed these things that have not yet picked up the damaged hands of their minds with their own. .
Wuzhen, a delicate yet melodious town. From east to west, north and south is short, the layout of some simple, there are some city sophistication. Not the whole town, small bridges, flowing water, stone path and the old wooden houses, as well as wiping the west side of town, and visited Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, sketched out the entire outlook of Wuzhen.
About Wuzhen time, the sun just rose up, the town retains the early morning calm and peaceful. Head-on a quiet stream, but also as peace, not the river ripples. Sprinkle in the blue glow slanting streets, on the premises, to the mapping in a small river, like a dressing mirror in general. Wuzhen scatter sunlight to touch of shallow pink, yellow of the willow shore, quietly hanging above some have gray green shoot, a bit delicate, floating a touch of warmth hanging. 32 Plum blazing open, red, giving the old town added some new colors. Those rooted river house, revealing a number of paintings were taste, texture and that stone, polished wood in years, has now matured into a natural beauty.
Came to "about every touch," the bridge, which is the town of Tung Tau, from the God of Fortune Bay, along the East-gate Street westbound, to make the old mining town of antiquity. This street and the town parallel with the river, in the middle of the premises separated by a river. Two meters wide, but in this street, twists and turns, can not see the end. A very quiet street, empty in general, only the tread in the footsteps on the slate, as if echoing in the streets for a thousand years the same. Along the street are mostly two-story old house, where the narrow streets seem very high, very mysterious, gable roof with the scattered, making people feel romantic and elegant architecture. North-south alley near the house is not the same. Mostly south into the two buildings, followed by River Lane North, is a 4 into 5 into the deep house. Quartzite set foot on the road, in an old door mounted fan Zhen-up walking the streets of years, giving a little trance the years, it seems to return a few hundred years ago.
Although after repairs, along the road, on a lot of the old house has been turned into a folk venues, for example, a collection of various types of wooden bed south of the "100 Hall", and demonstrates the South over the centuries the bed culture; Folk Museum is the southern folk sinks Tsui, where you can see where each solar term people's social life; and Fils shows Jiangnan rice technology, a trace of the original production of ancient civilizations; there are various types of wood carving museum, coins Hall, dye, etc., enrichment of the Jiangnan culture of society.
Wuzhen building harmonious and subtlety, is a grand and beautiful classical buildings. This allows friends coming from afar amazed. Although this place has become a sightseeing spots, can be many generations of people in this life, could not bear to abandon their homes, despite the open day, the streets are filled with wonder gaze River, but this did not affect them, residents and visitors Xiangan without interference, still living quiet days.
Looked at a house, every household to walk a careful collection of the character of this town, browsing in this living relic. Do not mind, the walk on this street is not a long time actually spent most of the day. Going through some meaning, when tired, suddenly saw a sword of Damocles hanging above the door to the side plaque, which read "former residence of Mao Dun," the four characters inscribed yes Mr CHEN Yun. So this is what a famous writer, former residence of Mr. Mao Dun. Into the hospital to carefully read, was originally a four-bay two-deep in old Zhuanmu buildings, blocks north to south, the entire architectural layout properly. The whole building has more than 400 square meters, to build it more carefully pay attention to, are also considered superior in the town house. It is said that Mao Dun's great-grandfather of the house is 11 years of the Qing dynasty (1885 years) procured by the wind and rain over the years by drying some of the damage. A few years ago, the state funding for the repairs, the entire house has been renovated according to original finish. Opened in the Memorial Hall next door. Came to Memorial Hall, center of the hall, Mr. Mao Dun hold a pen with a bronze bust of meditation, that distant gaze of the grand gateway to the world's momentum, so that arrivals awe.
Mao Dun, formerly known as Shen Yanbing, also known as Tak-hung (1896-1981), July 4, 1896 was born in Rio. It is said that Mao Dun extraordinary childhood intelligence, came under the five-year-old mother of elementary education, 6-year-old grandfather coached into the hall was 8 years old into the primary school, 14-year-old admitted to the schools in Zhejiang Province, Li-third, 18-year-old was admitted to Peking University. Spent his childhood here, young people are away at school during the summer and winter holidays are still home. Later, he spent his writer's fee, deposit debris in the original warehouse converted into his study.
Mao Dun's great, is not his talent, his literary accomplishments, but for the life of the ideal and just cause to make unremitting efforts. The great writer and patriot, the early years at the university after graduation, he took over the Commercial Press published his "Short Story Monthly." He strongly promote the content and form of innovation, the entire publication a new look. Later, he embodies the painstaking efforts and ambition "trilogy," "disillusionment," "seek," "shake" and the significance of the times "Midnight" one after another, suddenly hit the whole country, so far there is a wide range of effects. Mao Dun's home is progressive, daughter, son-in Yan'an in early revolutionary activities, his daughter died of illness, son-sacrifice in the battle. Mr. Mao Dun earlier had participated in the Communist Party, after losing contact with the party until after the death of recovery that the Chinese Communist Party. Maogong life along the tracks, with great concentration, experience with this style characters long experience, a strong sentiment of his will, the spirit of progressive thinking and dare to fight. He was moved over several generations model.
Inside the yard, but also many plum blossom in full bloom, people read very touched. This ancient town where everywhere can see the bright Red Plum, Bach Mai, bloom, sweet overflowing released into the atmosphere, so that people from the north, some emotional. Winter Plum Viewing Festival is really a blessing southern people. Northern winter weather is cold, plum are mostly kept in a greenhouse where not be easy to survive. Here are fortunate enough to spend has also fortunate, even in the winter, you can also enjoy the great outdoors to the plum of the tender and beautiful.
Jiangnan variable weather conditions, just, or semi-sunny days when it began to rain Xi Li, Street and stream water immediately by a haze, diffuse-year-old from an old impression. Through the streets, came to the bridge, into obscurity in the drizzling rain, and feel a kind of sad the years, thousands of years old flavor from rock crevices, from Kuxiu the door, from the peel powder paint, from the river glossy black stone on the grinder from the squeak sound Yau Li Tou out.
Alley's head is "Lin's Store," an old shop selling groceries out of the alley is a crossroads. Road west is the town square. Street in the south there is the arch, tall style, which is Wuzhen archway, is the town sign.
Some public community means western Wuzhen. Street, south west, an ancient way of the stage, construction is still complete, still using the, it seems that the sound of gongs and drums has not yet subsided. Opposite is an ancient Taoist temple, called "concept of self-cultivation", looked imposing, very large. Hanging above the door to a huge calculation, is based on practical calculations by scaling, each child has Suanpan Zhu Hai Wan as big. Road, there is a view of both sides of the doorpost couplets, written: 1000 people counted; days there is a balance. Mean count a person one day, and do not care about fame and wealth gains and losses. And so on into the temple, found this Road house is indeed a very broad concept, volley hall cornices, tall and vigorous momentum, some dignified style.
Hanlin, etc. After reading the first, has reached noon, the rain also swept passed, and the remaining light a wet print. At this point also to the entire system Wuzhen has a shallow impression. This town, although small, it is a healthy self-sufficient closed society, reflecting the old social reality. East Gate Street pharmacy, high-Public Health & Fils, a calico workshops, spinning workshops, private school, College, Cai Shenmiao, and "Lin's Store," grocery store, etc., West Street, there are the ancient stage, Taoist, opera hall, Hanlin the first, Huiyuan pawn shops and other public places and commercial outlets, aside from home-made food and clothing supplies, he also has a whole social system. Such a backward form of society in China for several thousand years, if not the promotion of economic development and opening up, do not know where to be maintained for one year.
Nishigashira town seems to be the old market, many small shops scattered in the streets on both sides. Scattered along the street level of many hotels, shopkeepers shouting loudly to attract the tourists. Wuzhen Some unique cuisine, simple and fragrant the United States, such as aunts cakes, Fen Zhengrou lotus leaf, steamed white silk fish, stewed fish gill Wang, burning mutton, vegetable bag, mustard heart, Ukraine bamboo shoots, Malan first class, has its own characteristics. Looking for a clean and some of the shops, one of these delicious Road to up, and then a bottle of high public Fils "three white," good taste. This, too, from another perspective Wuzhen bar.
Goods of wine, looking out the window, feeling the rush comes there to see especially envious of those laid-back tourists. Wuzhen ancient charm is the use of leisure can be experienced is the slow penetration of the product can be touched. If there is leisure to the river teahouses, brew a new pot of tea, Lin Chuang guarding water features, and that sentiment only. Products with tea, watching the water, Tingna grinder sound like paradise in the southern town, you do not fit what else? Unfortunately, in order to hurry, hurry and too many places, people regret.
Walk back down the river, over the high stone arch bridge "should be at home bridge" to come along on a river stone recesses. To see the boat from the river breeze, was moved leisurely poetic, that close to Jin, as a child, grew up in the water's edge like. Lu cheep ringing, swinging the water waves, back to the vague shapes of a historical picture. Witnessed this scene, when suddenly a familiar shadow filled my heart. Oh, think of it, it was early last century, Mr. Rou Shi's Novels, "in February," described the scene inside, was later adapted into a film "Early Spring in February." At this point, my mind jumped out of that complacent Xiao Jianqiu. Is his a feeling of enthusiasm and Zhuang Xin went to the Hibiscus Town and would like to wake up the old world with knowledge, with good to serve the community. But he beautiful ideals, love, compassion, have been left out that society has been strangled by the persistence of feudal forces. His struggles, his pain, his sorrow is the epitome of patriotic intellectuals of that era. I admire his enthusiasm, compassion what happened to him, glad of his breakthrough. China has knowledge of patriots want their country, to do things beneficial to society may be easier said than done in that era! Today, everything is changing Jiangnan Water Village, Mr. Mao Dun on behalf of the ideal that has become a reality, but patriotic and progressive thinking, always emits light.
