Walking slowly along the riverbank, one can't help but wonder if the yellow warblers that chirp and chirp on their heads and pass by in a flash have lingered on the poems of Zhang Zhihe and Su Dongpo, flowing in the river of people's imagination. Will the fish that dominate the whole Zha Xi and Camphor River appear brightly in one of the summer dreams? Will the reeds left behind after the fall comfort the hearts of the disillusioned on a rainy night? This kind of style, so that every pair of footsteps on Zhaoshi and Camas Creek are entangled, and would like to take this style with them, but can not bear, can not bear to destroy the scenery, even if only a gentle touch.
The old streets and alleys are indeed one of the flavors of the old city of Huzhou, as if the mention of the old city would think of the winding alleys. Alleys always with a bit of feminine, lingering. And how many alleys in this old city, how many stories, countless. Stories like the old house climbing wall creepers, will spread, will turn an inch of wall into its territory, in the end, some of the positive say also stained with some ambiguous meaning. This is the style of the old city, some tangled meaning in, indecisive. So that now outsiders look at the water townspeople always feel unhappy, not dry, but too many stories happened in the city destined to her gentle and different.
The old city, because of the names of those people and places, also began to have details, there are stories. These stories are blown away by the wind like the pages of a leafy history book, leaving behind something called style. These stories constitute the epitome and flavor of the old city of Huzhou, and the details are like flowers strung on days, emitting the poetic aroma of history. It is hidden in the mottled wooden texture of the old streets and alleys, growing in the deep and ancient mansions, or flowing from the mouths of the old men and women sitting on the small benches at the door. Those who had a sensational people and things, like gossip hidden in the deep alleys by the years gently covered with a layer of veil, dimly signaling that a section of the old city of the complex. The vast and deep culture is precipitated in the old streets and alleys, they are alive and jumping in the people's hearts and actions, unlike the museum displays as conclusive and cold.
I believe that there are many people like me, too familiar with things that are close by. Because of the reach, abound, sometimes familiar, not much to seriously examine it. The old city, like my mother, we snuggle up in her arms every day dreaming, but rarely awake to look up carefully at the corner of her wrinkles have a few, green silk in the white hair has a few, we only know that the mother is at the time of the beautiful and beautiful, so from time to time to take out her youthful photos to boast about, reminiscent of endless. But never sympathize with her to the middle age after the burden on the body is heavy. It should be said that we communicate with the mother is no barrier, but I still sometimes feel shocked, often have to take a few steps back, re-measure the mother that both familiar and unfamiliar posture and face, in order to allow themselves to see more clearly, more truly a little. Mother has many children, each person's personality, education, experience, age differences, the eyes will be very different to look at their mother, feeling will also be different. Because, everyone's eyes have an image of their own mother. So, is she just a rich woman who dwells on the Baitanan delay of the past? From the mother's complex life can know that she has seen the world, she has been baptized by the years, has had the experience of life, and experienced a variety of hardships and refinement, so she is very sophisticated, for anything will not be shocked, showing the appearance of a small family. But she is also down-to-earth and very affordable. She knows that ordinary days are very ordinary, will not be every day flowers and snow, ordinary people live or ordinary days, this is life, this is life.
Mother's experience is both tortuous and special, her connotation is both deep and rich, plus now she is swept sideburns, whole clothes, and stand up the waist, and re-exposed to her flavorful, elegant posture, so, some people are amazed at her beauty, some people want to look for her heritage, some people want to decipher the code, some people take the map to walk in the old streets of the old alleys in her. ...... heard everywhere you go, although there are Mandarin with local accents, and even other national languages, but the most commonly heard after all, or speak the usual life gossip, which originated in Taihu Wu dialect, has long been a tenacious sworn character traits, and the psychological state, folklore and folklore will not be due to a large influx of outsiders and Gradually diluted, or even completely disappeared.
With Shanghai, Shenzhen, the kind of ingestion of bright light compared to the old city of Huzhou is a low-eyed Mrs. Ru. Shanghai, Shenzhen's urban face will be the first to come to the people shocked, can only let people wearing fancy clothes on her stage a whistle, unwilling to stay. The first time I saw the old city, may think it is rough and mediocre, but it is like the old soup, live longer, the more mellow flavor, so that people subconsciously fall in love with this city suitable for human habitation. However, the old city has a unique charm: the harmony of the city's ecological environment, the humanistic spirit permeated by the beauty of the city, the colorful multiculturalism, as well as pervading all corners of the old city, a warm atmosphere, a leisurely mood, a combination of traditional and modern temperament, a smile everywhere, and a strong sense of human feelings.
The life of the people in the water town is so leisurely that it is eye-catching. The day is the water itself is a fish, swimming away is. For them, everything is false only life is the most real, the water village people is a real lifer. Comfort and leisure, the achievements of the city of northern Zhejiang character, nonchalant, calm and orderly, which is not the character of the water, the mother's character? Because it is a famous city in Jiangnan, the old city is also tolerant, in the collision of multiple life forms, everyone enjoys themselves. From the natural millennium old city, to the life of the affluent old city, to the artistic poetic old city, this way, like a flower in the process of continuous blooming, it turns out that this seemingly tranquil, but for us to bring another kind of imagination about the city.
There are many old cities in northern Zhejiang with deep cultural heritage, atmospheric without losing euphemism, clear without losing simplicity, unrestrained without losing delicacy. It is enough just to feel its hustle and bustle and laid-back atmosphere, and it is this polarity of hustle and bustle and laid-backness that makes people linger. You can choose at any time to shopping malls, supermarkets shopping, to the old street stroll, to the square cool, to the Riverside Park daze or walking walks and singing and dancing, to the Taihu Lake meditative reverie ...... You can also call on a manpower tricycle, so that he took you through the streets and alleys. Shaking will be able to shake out the mood of the old city, classic nostalgia, inexplicable melancholy. Teahouse is a beautiful scenery of the old city. Night lights, the air is filled with the faint fragrance of coffee, people laughing, whispering, very stretch to live in the old city of the spirit of the rhyme, the whole city in the leisurely through a wisp of life's happiness.
Of course, the mood of a place is not only limited to the flavor of leisure, but also in walking, living in the people's words and deeds. If the old city in the process of efforts to create a good living environment, so that the characteristics of the Jiangnan residential more fully light out, so that the water town style more exposed, so that the public on the kind of ancient city of human culture and elegance is also exposed, and even the many old stores in the commercial street, the old teahouse, the old restaurant, the traditional restaurant is also back to the basics, I think the mood of the old city of Huzhou will be more humanistic on the basis of the today's tradition of the charm and elegance.
I think, a city's value is not in its long history, but in its long history of remembering; not in its material abundance, but in its cultural heritage; not in its use, but in its spirit. For the old city, more in the public's habits, thinking quality, because the public is a city of the whole life of the carrier, but also the real uniqueness of the city. Leisure and friends talk about which city is desirable, I will not hesitate to say: Huzhou old city, because that is my home, I y love this land I live. I look forward to this old city mood forever.
