On October 4th, 221, we visited the Guguan Great Wall, and we didn't know where to go. There is no destination, I want to go to Yangquan city, but it keeps raining and it is difficult to drive in rainy days. Especially when entering the city, the only worry is traffic jam, that is, there is no parking space, people who are stuck in the road are upset, and the wet weather. After a long struggle, think about it. Dare not take the risk.
Where are you going to pull at the map? The main reason is that dinner has not been solved yet! Yang and I discussed many schemes. I don't know why, but I finally chose Xiyang County, Shanxi Province.
Actually, I have no idea about Xiyang County. We know Dazhai Village, Dazhai in agriculture and Dazhai in Shanxi. But where is it in Shanxi? I'm afraid someone, like me, is at a loss and really doesn't know the specific location. I don't know where Xiyang County is, what famous people and things are there, and what's different about people.
We went to Xiyang County mainly to have dinner and see the scenery of the county. As we approached Xiyang County, we saw the slogan of Hongqi Street on the roadside wall, so we came to the spirit. Judging from these words alone, those who dare to call Hongqi Street are different. At that time, our hearts did not connect this street with the eventful years of that year. And because of the rain, because of the crowded roads and other reasons, I almost passed the Hongqi Street.
The architectural layout of Xiyang County is very distinctive. The posters of the past years on the walls of some buildings are still bright, with a strong sense of pictures, a sense of time and substitution, which makes people like this place.
It's raining. It's hard to walk, and it's even harder to park. We dare not go forward until we get to Hongqi Street. Let's stop first when we have time. I happened to see a noodle shop. If I can't find the right one, I can make it at his house. There is not enough to eat in Daoxiao Noodles, Shanxi. The local people's daily routine has been passed down for many years, and it can't be wrong.
We parked our car at Xindong Street in Xiyang County, which is close to the pedestrian street. The parking space on the roadside is limited, and our parking position is illegal. I think there is a public bicycle parking area painted on the ground. The shops on both sides of the road are narrow, and they are worried that their parking is illegal. After looking at it, everyone stops like this.
I walked around the pedestrian street. There were many shops on both sides of the pedestrian street, with a line of simple bungalows in the middle, all selling all kinds of snacks. I walked over and came back, feeling that there was nothing to eat and nothing to arouse people's appetite. When I arrived in a county town, I couldn't find a favorite place to eat, mainly because I was unfamiliar with the county town. On the way to think of it, there was a Daoxiao Noodles Pavilion, so I decided to turn back and eat noodles.
Only noodles are not boring. Besides, when it comes to finding several noodle restaurants in Shanxi, they are different. The business of noodle restaurant is good, and people come in and out from time to time. Like other places in Shanxi, the noodles here are still 7 yuan and 8 yuan a bowl, which is cheap. Just like other places, there is no noodle soup and garlic. You have to ask the boss for it yourself. The kitchen is available, and the noodle restaurant also serves stir-fried dishes and cold dishes. Daoxiao Noodles is good, but there is always no feeling of vigor and fragrance in Shaanxi. Perhaps from the taste of Shanxi people, Shaanxi noodles are not interesting, not as slippery as Daoxiao Noodles, with the special taste of moist soup and the feeling of hometown.
I was full, warm and energetic, so I decided to walk around. I walked along the pedestrian street again and went around to another street. There was nothing new to find and nothing surprising in front of me. So we turned back, crossed the intersection and walked to the opposite street. There were no special shops and so on. Like other counties, we decided to leave Xiyang County.
objectively speaking, Xiyang county is still an unknown small county, and its economic development is roughly the same as that of an ordinary county in Shaanxi. Perhaps this is my intuitive feeling, and I judge it out of thin air only by the buildings on this road. Maybe I didn't go to the real new town.
Sitting in the car, I felt unwilling, so I searched around again and found a good man square in Xiyang County, which was very interesting. The navigation shows that Hongqi Street is not far away. At this time, there are fewer cars on the street and the traffic conditions are much better. Is attracted by the red flag street, come but don't go, always some unwilling.
The navigation shows that the remaining 3 meters will arrive. At this time, a fork in the road appears, one goes straight up the steep slope and the other turns right. The appearance of a shiny old tower on a steep slope, the pavilion is built on the road, what is over there through the pavilion, I don't know, it is dark and full of unknown attraction, so we immediately judge along the steep slope.
Through the doorway of the pavilion, it's still a tight uphill. Climb uphill. Wow! Into a new world.
The blocks on both sides are all plastered with cement, showing the true colors of cement, or blue bricks. The architectural styles are all like the people's communes in the 196s and 197s. The red characters that serve the people stand on the eaves, the red five-pointed star flashes, and the lipstick that continues to pursue the revolution seems to be still echoing, inspiring you. Great images are shining, and the red flag stands on Tiananmen Square and is embossed on the wall next to the roof. The slogans of Daqing in industrial science and Dazhai in agricultural science are still prominently hung.
Glass windows and old doors bring the years back to the past. No matter whether it is bitter or tears, wrong or right, in short, no one can escape. Everyone who has experienced this experience has experienced it, which is also an exploration and a wake-up call. We don't remember for the sake of remembering, we miss, miss the beauty of those years, miss those people and things.
There are blue bricks on the ground and drizzle in the sky. The wet ground reflects the lights on both sides, which is a very chronological taste.
The lights in the whole street at night are mainly orange lights, not explosive lights. The whole street is like afternoon dusk, with just the right shade, which is a simple and soothing feeling.
I told Yang that this is equivalent to visiting a scenic spot, which is so worthwhile. Natural scenery is good to see, and there are not many places that have been in the past, and the whole street is like this. People are eager for the future, and they also like to reminisce about the past and miss the past, because the past always hides many joys and stories they used to have.
Like the streets in bustling cities, both sides of the street are shops, but the shops here are more interesting. For example, there is a grocery store written on the wall next to the roof, but there is a small hot pot on the head of the store. The collocation is very cordial and harmonious, which makes people feel warm in their hearts. There is also an old-fashioned restaurant-Youmian Paste Du Restaurant. I don't know what kind of food it is.
A big giant archway with the words "If there is love in the sky, the sky will grow old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes of life" went in. There was a small shop that didn't know what delicious food was being made, and from time to time someone went over and left with the bought delicious food. Yang hurriedly ran to have a look. Deep-fried dough sticks are being fried here at night, which is really strange. Isn't fried dough sticks breakfast? It's rare to fry fried dough sticks at night. Can you buy them for dinner at this time (like 7 or 8 pm)? We didn't interrogate with torture either, which was really interesting.
I wanted to stay in this street for a while, but we still have a way to go, and we have to go home. There are fewer people in Hongqi Street, and it's time to leave.
By the way, there is a good man square in Xiyang County, and the navigation tips are not far away. It's just dark and the road is unfamiliar. It's a little pity that I didn't go for a walk.
I didn't know it until I left Xiyang County. Dazhai Scenic Area is not far from the county seat. If I knew it, I might go and see it and feel it all night.
Until I left for a long time, I suddenly remembered Hongqi Street and Xiyang County. Why do you think it's called Xiyang? Cherish the sun I searched online and said that it was changed to Xiyang County in the third year of the Republic of China. As for why it was changed, I am afraid I have to check the county annals. According to information on the Internet, "Sunset in Shanxi, Chaoyang in Shandong" explains that "Xiyang" is named because it is west of Taihang Mountain.
When I thought of Xiyang County, I flipped through the information, only then did I know that Dazhai Township was 12 kilometers away from Xiyang County, and only then did I know that Hongqi Street had a history and background.
I hope I will definitely visit Dazhai when I have the opportunity. When I come to Dazhai, I will visit Hongqi Street again.
