An old street called Lushan Street came to Jishan Street, which is a historical block with a small bridge and flowing water. There is a stone archway on the street corner, which reads "Hometown of the Book Sage". After the archway, a stone bridge appeared. After hundreds of years of trampling on the stone bridge, there are obvious signs of wear on the bridge deck, and the stone strips in the middle are a bit bumpy. Obviously, this is the trace left by people walking. Grind the stone bridge like this. The ancients said, "Iron bars are ground into needles!" Shiqiao verified this idiom, indicating that history is eternal, leaving a mark for a hundred years. The alley is very long. I step on the pavement paved with stone slabs and feel the long years that have passed away.
Walking on the historic stone road, you can hear the footsteps of pedestrians and the cries of vendors. It's like walking into an ancient city far from the noise. Looking for the brand of history. I saw some local people queuing in front of a fried dough sticks shop to buy breakfast, which is said to be the most authentic fried dough sticks shop with a history of more than 50 years. They still keep the old habit of holding a fried dough stick or oil cake with a bamboo stick, which not only saves food but also protects the environment, unlike many cities that pack breakfast and food in plastic bags and cause environmental pollution. I envy this primitive life.
Walking, a bridge covered with vines came into view and stopped to have a look. The inscription reads: In the Book of Jin, when Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, took the rank of Right Army as his literary history, he tasted an old man holding a hexagonal bamboo fan and selling it on this bridge. The fan of Xi Shu is five Chinese characters. At first, I was sad because I said, "But this is Wang Youjun's 100-dollar book." Like I said, there's an offer. "When Wang Xizhi was in Huiji, there was an old woman selling bamboo fans under an overpass, and not many people bought them. Wang Xizhi took the initiative to pick up the old lady's bamboo fan and began to write. Each fan has no more than five words. The old woman was a little unhappy with Wang Xizhi's unauthorized inscription, so she sold it ironically: "This is the inscription of Wang Xizhi and Wang Youjun, and each bamboo fan is 100 yuan. Unexpectedly, the old woman's shouts attracted pedestrians to snap up her bamboo fan. In order to commemorate Wang Xizhi's noble moral character of helping the poor, later generations named this bridge "Topic Model Bridge". The existing bridge was rebuilt in eight years of Qing Daoguang. At the end of the old street is Zhu Jie Temple. Backed by Laoshan Mountain, there are places of interest such as Wenbi Pagoda, Jishan Academy, Jishan Pavilion, Lengran Pool and Lengran Pavilion. ...
The next morning, I went to Baziqiao Old Street, with rows of low-rise old buildings, and some trees on the sidewalk were still glowing green, which looked like antique Jiangnan customs. I saw the housewife take out an air stove from home, chop it into small pieces, then fill it in and light a piece of waste paper. The air stove began to smoke, and the family's hot water depended on it. The residents here live a leisurely life, busy with their own little things, or drying quilts, or washing by the water, or holding rice bowls, or reading books and newspapers, and occasionally listening to a few Vietnamese words, which are kind and quaint, but they just can't recognize what they are saying. It's really an original street view.
When I stepped onto the figure-of-eight bridge, the origin of the figure-of-eight bridge came to my mind: the figure-of-eight bridge is located at the eastern end of Zhijie, between Guangning Bridge and Dongshuangqiao. According to Jiatai Huiji, it was built in Jiatai period of Southern Song Dynasty (1201-kloc-0/204) and rebuilt in Baogou period of Southern Song Dynasty (1256). "The two bridges are oblique, hence the name". This bridge is made of stone, and its structural shape is wonderful. The eight-character bridge is connected by three roads, with water flowing from north to south, Jianhu water in the south and Hangzhou ancient canal in the north. It is one of the main waterways passing through the city in ancient times. The locals are proud of it, calling it the earliest overpass in China and the originator of modern overpass.
Standing on the bridge, the river hangs upside down and weeping willows flow, the river port reflected in bridge opening is washed away, the residents sitting by the river have a panoramic view of the stone road of the ancient bridge and the ancient street, and several boats at Wupeng Shipyard are quietly waiting for the arrival of tourists ... The whole old street is quiet and elegant, and the stone guardrail of the ancient bridge is well preserved except for some traces of weathering. If it is not the surrounding high-rise buildings, it seems that there is a feeling of crossing. Here I enjoy the rare peace, quiet appreciation and wandering. Sucking the fragrance of Kong Yiji fennel beans, the whole person's mood has a feeling of being suddenly enlightened. ...
Speaking of the simplicity of Shaoxing people, I think of one thing. Before leaving Shaoxing, my wife and I had a Chinese meal in a small restaurant near the railway station. A young man in a suit and tie sat in my back seat and wolfed down a big bowl of rice. After eating, he said to the proprietress: I have no money today, and I will give it to you tomorrow. The young man's behavior surprised me: can I get credit here? Unexpectedly, the proprietress replied with a smile: Never mind, it's not too late to give money again. This scene reminds me of Kong Yiji written by Lu Xun. After Kong Yiji's death, he still owed the tavern owner nineteen glasses of wine! It was the former Kong Yi who returned to reality. ...
There is a poem to prove it: Yuecheng came to camphor tree leaves in spring, and the champion hid in his hometown house. In ancient times, there was Zhou Kaizhe's study, but now there is Lu Xun's literary source. Wu Pengdang Canal, Shuiqiao Interchange and People's Court. A bamboo fiber with fried dough sticks is a good destination for simple folk customs.
