To Shanghai, just in time Saturday. The weekday peak hour city, this time with something like a plain-clothes, revealing a very relaxed look, give many cordial.
Come to Shanghai many times, and over the years, such as the city grew up watching. Let it be made from time how beautiful, how foreign flavor, how people like it, when I came to Shanghai, it seems that there is some kind of complex will always be remembered that the old shadow. Originally come to Shanghai, or the early eighties of the last century, the entire city is a different story entirely. At that time, Shanghai's luxury Chuaizhuo pious and civilized respect for them, on foot traveled to every corner, in a strange feeling, the note of the indelible impression. At that time, Shanghai has a distinctive urban feature. Stone bench riverside Bund, Nanjing Road, the old house, dense residential neighborhoods, take the heat of street stalls, Wan Guoqi the same racks, toilet brush early in the morning and even the "Cha Cha" sound, and build an early style of Shanghai. Although the age for a long time, but the noble style of Shanghai, still gives the lay deep scar, it also makes it ups and downs of emotions. As Li Ji in the "Huangpu Park," said: "I'm from the Nanjing Road, / walk to the Huangpu Park. / / I use the Huangpu River water, / washed their hands and face. / / Passerby Oh, / do not laugh; / I came to Shanghai for the first time, / I'll wash the memory of childhood. "
Now, all this changed, replaced the low-rise high-rise board room, people are open-minded a lot of life not found in the shadow of the number of old, which some people have lost the years.
Nevertheless, Shanghai is one of only two hundred years of history is still a young city, and Xi'an, and Nanjing, Kaifeng, the ancient heritage-rich compared to the formation of a distinctive character. Some time ago heard people say that Shanghai's roots in a place called Zhujiajiao, where the town still has a full style. So, this time to Shanghai, then to join with my colleagues to look Zhujiajiao ancestral home in Shanghai.
Zhujiajiao is located in Qingpu District, but thirty or forty kilometers away from Shanghai, the Yangtze River Delta is a typical town. Here dense network of waterways, alleys Shen You, bridge water cross, always fine spring day, filled with rice, house, land of plenty feelings. According to research, 5000 years, there have been achievements in the splendid Songze culture, Liangzhu culture also subtly painted to Shanghai a strong historical background. Zhujiajiao comparison of atmospheric structure, is a town of considerable size, from which we can see that once the glory.
The same as visiting tourists to spend 50 yuan to buy a ticket into the surf on the town. Today, the Yangtze River Delta has developed a number of town attractions, visitors should be on the tickets, not the door, how many people have a misunderstanding. Began to feel that what is not, and now want to come also find it interesting. A hospitable nation went so far as to distant friends from income to enter the house of tickets, this may be rare in the world.
Tickets, said Zhujiajiao 12 spots, and one by one with a photo. Under the guidance of the tickets, we went to each spot and feel the source of Shanghai style.
Zhujiajiao existing garden guxiang, celebrity house, Buddhist temples, but also the establishment of the Qing dynasty, the post office, there are numerous restaurants shops. Anywhere here to see preserved for hundreds of years the human traces, giving a return of the mean. However, in order to develop operations, like the museum here, like engaging in a number of antique buildings, false in a few more parks taste, loss of natural simplicity, coupled with opening too many shops, disrupting the original quiet, bustling of It adds a bazaar in the noisy, say that this is a little regrettable.
Zhujiajiao over the river, bridge will be done, the most famous is the Letting Them bridge, known as the South's largest five-hole bridge. Zhujiajiao bridge across the East River water transport in Hong Kong, 70 m long, 7 meters high, the "first in Shanghai Bridge" reputation. Although Letting Them bridge is built in the Ming Dynasty, but now it seems that the construction of stone arch bridge is still very fine. People often fish in this bridge Letting Them Go, with the reputation of Letting Them Go, so this bridge has accumulated a lot of "virtue." Right now, this bridge with the surrounding streets and alleys, together, constitute a rare scenic town.
After reading spots, is already three in the afternoon. Letting Them Go over the bridge when he was touched by an ancient stone bridge, so the bridge would like to stay for a while. To bridge a restaurant upstairs has picked a broad vision of where the bridge of Letting Them Go Pingchuang enjoy the scenery.
Jiangnan weather is always sentimental. The sky is just beautiful, but then it began to rain. Rain slanting shed the past in the sky to draw numerous slashes, something which many traces. Water drops fall on water, thick, the blossoming white spray out. The other side of the window, it seems a one rainy night in the eye, giving it a sad sad. Uneven black roof, if a trekking sad poem, falls the shadow of a worry. Only then hang red lanterns, giving a festive light, such as aircraft lights in the Ye Wu.
According to the window, laid-back the heart, overlooking the Ancient Street guxiang see rain and fog in the Letting Them bridge, Tingna rain sprinkled on the window tile on the sound, filled with feelings from some different kind.
Rain bridge, floating with melancholy, depression, filled with a heavy feeling. This scenario, reminiscent of Shizhecun the "bridge opening": small Wupeng Chuan, / through the autumn mist, / to enter the antiquity of the bridge opening of the. / / Bridge opening is a mysterious thing which / after it, who knows, / / we will see what? / / Storm perilous river do? / Honest solemn town market? / Or the beautiful and desolate plains? //...
Although separated by half a century, but with time taste a poem, at this moment are still people feel warm, you can feel the loss of feeling. The poet always love to use some words to express their own wishes, pinned their life aspirations. Would like to now the upper beach, both years of civilization, ancient town, another modern bustling city, to walk in this contrast, in the memory and reality, thinking, always great social changes and progress. For the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, how many children have worked hard and courageously dedicated. Shi Zhecun's poetry, although the individual inner world revealed, but also a loss a loss that bear witness on behalf of the people. Where is the Chinese people to go, how to get really is always worth exploring the subject. But one thing you must bear in mind that the prosperity of the nation must be integrated into the world of civilization development. Open in Shanghai, determine its fate can not be Zhujiajiao style can not be as small bridges, so Xiaojiabiyu, so close in isolation, but with the world. Although China suffered in modern times, "Chinese and dogs not admitted," the abuse that has been carved up and plundered the wounds, and even the sorrow of the loss of national self-confidence, but this nation has been suffering way to seek out a self-improvement, which is most worthy of Fortunately, otherwise, I do not know how many people want to "bridge opening," under the hovering. Look at Shanghai, Yi Shanghai, in order to know how to Shanghai.
