Water Town in Dreams//Shen Haibo
If you want to meet each other, I am at the intersection of sadness and joy-Muxin
Hi, Shen Zixuan, how are you!
I told you a few things about your graduation trip on WeChat last night, but I'm still unfinished. Then I'll talk to you about my trip to Wuzhen.
this is really a pleasant trip.
first of all, I am in a good mood.
I've completely completed the first stage of self-salvation since Daiyu Burning Manuscript. When I stood at the ticket gate of the moving station, I never felt panic again. I even deliberately wanted to be sad, but I couldn't: my heart was full of happiness of traveling, and there was no place for negative emotions at all.
the second is a sense of accomplishment.
Skillfully book tickets and hotels through Ctrip-not only smooth, but also practical. Especially when I successfully changed my train ticket the next day, I really enjoyed that confidence: I am the master, and all fancy apps are tools for me.
I finally overcame my fear of new technology, and I feel like a gentleman climbing the mountain: without him, being good and false is better than things.
This is another kind of self-salvation.
then there is the new experience.
during my visit to wuzhen, I plan to change my previous habit of staying in five-star hotels, find bitter food, and stay in the original small residence in Gu Xiang, the old city, as long as it is clean.
Of course, when faced with a real choice, it's not easy. I took the method of shelving and cooling down, and placed the order the next morning. I gave up an ultra-luxury hotel called Zhaoming Academy in the core scenic spot of Wuzhen, and decided on a homestay called "Once Slow" outside the scenic spot-this name attracted me, only 144 yuan a night. Of course, there are no homestays below 1 on Ctrip.
it's really easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
I just want to have a pickle cake for a change.
From home in Wenzhou, walk for 1 minutes to S1 Sanyo Wetland Station, and wait for 1 minutes. The S1 train will arrive at Wenzhou South in 2 minutes, then turn to the ticket gate of the bullet train in 15 minutes, and there are still 4 minutes left before leaving the gate. After the bullet train arrives at Tongxiang Station, wait in line for 3 minutes, then get on the bus to Wuzhen, one hour to Wuzhen Bus Station, and 2 minutes to the B&B by human tricycles.
all the way through the spring, I was filled with joy.
Mu Xin said that in the past, cars, horses and mail were slow.
nowadays, cars and horses are fast, but I still enjoy myself, and I just find the slow one in the gap between cars and horses.
Min Sujing, when the door is closed, you can still hear the voice of the host downstairs and the cough of the tenant next door.
The hotel is small, and you can smell the delicious oil smoke prepared by the host for the guests in the kitchen when you lie in bed.
the host is a local couple of about 6 years old, who own their own property, take care of the business in the store with a grandson who is just learning to walk around one year old and an unmarried daughter.
interestingly, I also saw a desk calendar in 22 on the counter, which was made of photos of their family. It should have been taken by the family in the photo studio when the little grandson was one year old, a man's suit and a woman's cheongsam.
Also on the desk calendar, I saw the parents of their little grandson, who were introduced by the hostess and both worked at Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, with a total annual income of more than 3, yuan. They were handsome men and beautiful women.
My little grandson is dignified and strong, with fine features. He is not afraid of strangers and kisses me.
when I tease him to have fun and listen to his quack laughter, it seems that I am in the middle of a world where my hair is yellow and I am happy.
Muxin Art Museum is located in Xizha Scenic Area of Wuzhen.
the next morning, I bought a ticket and entered the Muxin Art Museum at 1 o'clock, and didn't come out until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Although the initial visit to Wuzhen was devoted to Muxin Art Museum, there was no plan to visit it. However, people are already in the scenic spot, and I still hesitate to visit or not.
you know, my moral cleanliness is quite heavy, and I feel uncomfortable not following the plan.
It's too pedantic to just turn around and walk away. Besides, after enjoying the visual feast and spiritual feast for nearly five hours in Muxin Art Museum, I feel a little tired, so I have to take a walk to digest food.
finally, I convinced myself: when I come, I'll be safe and have a look.
people, it's hard to know yourself, but it's too easy to convince yourself.
As the poem goes:
Winning the sun and finding the fragrance of the waterfront will bring infinite scenery for a while.
On the phone yesterday, you said that you still remember that our family drove from Ningbo to Wuzhen once more than 2 years ago. Wuzhen is famous for being the location of the TV series April Day on Earth starring Huang Lei Rene Liu. At present, the image spokesperson of Wuzhen tickets is still Rene Liu. We are also the first generation of drama chasers.
it's just strange. I walked around the old street facing the river on both sides of the strait alternately, but I couldn't find the impression of that year all the way to the end.
I'm like a sleepwalker wandering in the old days. The small bridge and the cloister are covered with blue tiles, which are specious as what I remember. I even wonder if I have Haimer's disease, and the claws of memory are slipping on the brain wall.
It is said that Wuzhen was later transformed and developed by a listed company as a whole. When world internet conference chose the site, all the residents in the scenic spot were moved out.
things have changed, but not so much.
Later, when I was riding a hand-cranked boat, the boatswain woke up the dreamer in a word:
I am now visiting Wuzhen. It's not the Biwu Town where we played in those days.
We went to Dongzha, commonly known as Wuzhen Phase I, two kilometers away, and it was opened to the public in 21.
The place where I am staying now is Xizha, also known as Wuzhen Phase II, which was only opened to the public in 27.
This is really:
The warm wind makes tourists drunk and makes Hangzhou a Bianzhou.
On the morning of the third day, when the tricycle driver told me that Dongzha had arrived, I looked at the stone bridge in front and the ticket office under the big tree on the left, and I knew that I had really returned to my dream Wuzhen this time.
There is no doubt that the place where I get off this tricycle now is where my white Accord parked. There was no navigation in those days, and that's how we drove all the way to the bridge. You were only five or six years old then.
Walking through these long, lonely alleys written by Dai Wangshu, we didn't expect at the beginning that I would retire to the second line when I was old, and I didn't expect that you would run so far to study in the United States when you grow up.
Yesterday, I told Sister Hong that it has been almost ten years since you left us to live independently: three years in high school, four years in college, and three years after studying abroad.
In China, people all over the world will say that their daughters are guests, so they should be treated politely when they are at home, and they will all be other people's daughters-in-law.
Now, it seems that men are the honored guests in their parents' homes. When they grow up, they all want to travel to the outside world and aspire to be the new masters of the world.
Of course, we didn't expect that behind the mottled brown doors we passed, there was a courtyard that turned out to be Muxin's former residence.
A brief introduction to the memorial hall of Mu Xin's former residence is as follows:
Mu Xin was originally named Sun Pu, and when he came of age, he took "Mu Xin" as his pen name.
In 1927, Mu Xin was born in Dongzha, Wuzhen.
In 1943, at the age of 16, Mu Xin left Wuzhen for Hangzhou, and two years later, he transferred to Shanghai Art College to study.
In 195, Mu Xin's ancestral property was confiscated.
in 1982, at the age of 55, Mu Xin left Shanghai for the United States.
At the beginning of 1995, Mu Xin returned to Shanghai from new york after 52 years' absence, and went through the snow to visit his hometown alone. This was his first visit to Wuzhen after his youth left home.
in 2, the land and real estate of Sunjia Garden was purchased by Wuzhen Tourism Company, and it took five years to complete the renovation from 21. Mu Xin personally renamed the renovated ancestral home "Yat Sen Xiao Zhu".
in September 26, at the age of 79, Mu Xin returned to his hometown to live in peace until his death in the winter of 211, at the age of 84.
coincidentally, due to maintenance, the former residence memorial hall only opens the front hall. After reading the schematic diagram of the exhibition hall on the lower wall, it is estimated that it accounts for less than one-fifth of the open area.
I'm not upset because I didn't meet you at home.
When I looked up and saw the horizontal plaque hanging high in the front hall, it flashed on me:
If the curatorial idea of the former residence memorial hall is an article, then this horizontal plaque is telling me that this article is written in flashback, and the four words on this horizontal plaque-lying east and feeling west-are the eyes and conclusions of this article. When I spent nearly five hours in Muxin Art Museum, after listening to Muxin's artistic achievements in literature, poetry, calligraphy and painting one by one, when I passed the corner of the corridor of the last manuscript exhibition hall, a hole suddenly opened, and the room was full of books. At first, I thought it was the staff who forgot to close the door of the warehouse.
when you look at the probe, you know that it is a stepped library open to visitors.
The indomitable and warehouse-style bookshelf is crisscrossed with books and dozens of black-and-white headshots, all of which are the size of Chairman Mao's previous standard portraits, which is very visually shocking.
I curiously looked through the books up and down the stairs, all of which were Chinese translations of literary masterpieces and philosophical classics in the western world.
Yes, there isn't a book written by China people, except Mu Xin Wen Ji.
I looked up and carefully checked the photos again. There are more than 5 photos, all of which are famous writers and philosophers in western history, from Homer in ancient Greece to Beauvoir in modern France.
Yes, no one in China has a face, and even Mu Xin has retired. Now standing under the horizontal plaque of Dongzha, I suddenly understand the meaning of Xizha's book wall:
This is the spiritual and cultural map of Mu Xin's aesthetic exile.
Mu Xin, from Wuzhen-set out to the world, went into exile in Qian Shan, and went into exile all the way to the motherland and hometown.
ok, that's enough for today. the article is a little long.
I'll talk to you about Muxin another day.
Chen Danqing said that he was a "difficult old man".
but when the old man was young, he was called a handsome man!
goodbye! Good Night!
