Waiting for a city of smoke and rain, wandering in the morning dream of the ancient city of Phoenix, ferrying a world of love, infatuated with the two sides of the Tuojiang River by the footstools.
This is Shen Congwen's flavorful town of western Hunan - Phoenix Ancient City.
There is a kind of sentiment that lingers in the heart; there is a kind of thought that exists in the heart of the long thick; there is a kind of thought that stretches over the mountains. Looking for a dream, carrying a light boat; stopping, looking back at the view. The dream of May, the breeze; searching for, finally embarked on the journey.
On the way to Phoenix, I have been thinking, a city I dreamed of for so long, what kind of mood I should face it, and what kind of sentiment to feel it. I thought a lot of things, but I realized that it's really useless. Sometimes you somehow want to embark on a new journey, do not care how beautiful the scenery along the way, because in anyone, the interpretation of the scenery is different, but depends on the mood to see the scenery.
Before I thought I was far away from Phoenix, so far that I could not reach. In fact, we are very close to each other, because that kind of spiritual fit can not be described. Although the boat ride from Chongqing to Phoenix made me a little tired, but when I saw the first sight of Phoenix, I think everything is worth it!
It's too late to put down your bags and carry your luggage. Walking, strolling in every alley in the ancient city, every stone road with a different emotion, paved with every traveler ahead. Slow and with a sense of urgency, want to feel this wonderful town. Want to turn around every street and alley in a hurry, a place also do not want to leave, because to come, do not want to have regrets.
When I first met you, you are so quiet and beautiful, so timeless, the first time I met, I wish you more guidance.
My heart has always yearned for a life of mountains and rivers and light winds. A person's afternoon, holding up Shen Congwen's "Border Town", the mountain is still green, the water is still green, the footstools standing in the mountains between the water is still so pure and beautiful.
"The wind and the moon are priceless, the water is far away from the mountains have feelings." Look at the mountains and look at the building to enjoy the water is a cozy, thousands of miles away, the only this, is a kind of elegant and leisurely life. I was amazed at the "Border Town" will be Tao Yuanming's ideal life interpreted so romantic and cozy, intoxicated by the peace and tranquility of the paradise. It was only after a long time that I realized how precious half a day's leisure is in the journey of life.
The town's flavor, the soul of the pull of my heart. The ancient charm of the hanging tower, the beauty of the search for the dream of the feelings and expectations, as if looking for the sweetheart of the kind of mood. In the May breeze, the two teasers, in the scenery of people coming and going to appreciate the different beauty.
Phoenix does not have the treachery of the famous mountains, no king's grandeur, there is only the inner yearning for peace of the kind of tenderness, the kind of relaxation of the body and mind of the cozy and calm. Walking on both sides of the Tuojiang River, gazing at that stands in the stormy history of the most representative of the footstools, seems to be able to see Shen Congwen's "Border Town" in the two old, the cattle Paul's unrestrained interest in the real, Cuicui beautiful and tranquil character, as well as the ancient city of the mountains and water between the far-reaching and long mood ......
At night, walking in the Tuojiang River Both sides of the river, standing on the Rainbow Bridge in the ancient city of Phoenix, looking at the whole ancient city, or a deep shock, Tuojiang River through the city, both sides of the river along the river and built the footstools, built along the two sides of the river, different bridges across the Tuojiang River above the two sides of the lights, under the reflection of the beautiful, a river of spring, gurgling, the music of the bar on the shore, floating in the Tuojiang River above, a kind of ancient flavor and the combination of the modern breath, let you in this side of the city town, gradually, and the modern atmosphere of the city. Let you in this side of the city town, gradually open the heart, the mind is finally released!
In Phoenix, there is such a saying: do not see the "Border Town" not Phoenix. At night, meet in the "Border Town" Forest Theater.
"Cuicui, are you still waiting?" If you do not know the background of this play, when you hear this sentence, Xing perhaps a little abrupt, waiting for what? In the border town there is a simple and beautiful girl named Cuicui, in Cuicui's heart has always lived a sweetheart. That is, his lover - the second old man. The man's talent and the woman's looks are beyond envy. But the sky has unpredictable winds and clouds, after some trials and tribulations of the two people finally did not come together.
When the drama is interpreted to the "soul" scene: Grandpa died, Cuicui feel the sky collapsed, a flash of lightning across the night sky, downpour of rain, as if the whole world is crying, the atmosphere of the scene for people to be moved.
? The second old man is also gone, he never came back, some people say he is dead. But Cuicui did not believe it, so she still waited. Hope that one day her two old man can come back to her again. The world became lonely at once, leaving the lonely Cuicui, not knowing what to do.
One night, in the third brother's inn, I heard this poem, roughly this is written, said what fame and fortune, talk about what the world, life only wish to meet a person, is the most beautiful scenery. Because of him or her, we can throw everything away. But where are you? We all hope to meet such a person, before this, Ta can walk freely, but once the two met, from now on into an inseparable soul of the body.
A lifetime only wish to carry a person's hand, **** degree of this life, because the rest of life is too hasty, too late to have too many intersections with the people who do not want to dry. In those sleepless nights, you and I would like to have that kind of a person, and then in the "Border City" such a peach, slowly grow old. But the chances of finding such a person in the multitude of people is very small.
Is it hard to love someone? It's hard! Just like the big old love Cuicui, Cuicui love two old, two old also love Cuicui. Such a simple and intricate love triangle. Let three people are in a dilemma. Cuicui eventually chooses Er Lao, who chooses to leave because of her brother's death. In the land of love, why wouldn't we want to love someone all the time, but no love can go on like this alone, it faces numerous challenges.
Is it hard to wait for someone? It's hard! I don't know, have you ever had the experience of waiting for someone. One hour, okay, two hours, can tolerate, three hours, it began to fire. But if it is to spend a lifetime to wait for someone? Would you? Maybe you would say it depends on whether the person is worth waiting for. That's right! But even if it is worth waiting for you, but if you have to spend a lifetime to let you wait, perhaps you will eventually hesitate, perhaps will succumb to the reality, perhaps that your so-called worth will also let you slowly put behind you.
Why is it that people who love each other can't be together, but have to be turned into half-life memories? This is filled with a lot of helplessness and sadness, perhaps we really do not understand the so-called love in the border town!
There is no hustle and bustle of traffic, no rush of people coming and going, waking up in the hazy morning sun in the old city, the day is slightly light. Came to the Miao village, rafting people, has begun to busy, the boat, the dress of the Miao girl's song melodious and melodious, to the rafting down the tourists, singing the Miao family song, landscape reflection, the song of pure beauty, as the morning mist between the mountains, ethereal and misty, listening to the music between the mountains and the water, seems to be as intoxicated?
2 p.m., to the Miao Village car pulling us, to the western Hunan mountains deep into the hair, not long, into the Miao Village boundaries. The guide taught us to enter the door of the mountain song, and to everyone how to greet the Miao language, in case to the Miao village to make a fool of themselves. And into the real Miao village, but also to do another boat, sitting on the boat, green mountains and water surrounded by the Miao village, this quiet seems to be unwilling to be disturbed by the outside world.
All the Miao village are built on the mountain, there is no neat planning, between households and households, the house gap is also very small, it is said that when the Wulong Mountain banditry also in this scene. The village in addition to the old man, is the children left behind, the young people are out of work, rely on the mountain, really difficult to let the Miao people live in a rich life, the village is also a helpless.
In the evening, we all ate a long banquet together, drinking rice wine, very feeling. After dinner, we sat around the Miao Folklore Park Folklore Theater, watching the Miao girls and boys interpretation of the Miao story, beautiful costumes, wonderful performances, let a person intoxicated. Afterwards, everyone gathered around the bonfire with the same joy, singing and dancing.
With the night color, we slowly left the Miao village, those simple people, beautiful flavor but one by one printed in the mind.
We often look forward to a beautiful encounter, an unforgettable love affair, in fact, love affairs and encounters in life, travel is often encountered, in the eyes of writers and writers, love affairs should not be full of lust and pornography, it should be a kind of pure and have a romantic encounter with the wind and snow as romantic, perhaps, just a look, a word, a subtle journey companion, but, nothing to do with tomorrow's results, beautiful and beautiful. The result of tomorrow, the beautiful encounter does not need results, as long as the memories and remembrance has been enough.
This way I met a lot of people, although I do not know your name, but I will always remember your appearance of ...... everything is to come to the same beat. The first thing I want to do is to get a good look at the newest and most important thing I've ever done. The meeting was just in time. Everyone was so kind. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on this.
In fact, for each of us, this is a beautiful encounter. There are always some parting will meet unexpectedly, the encounter is always short, when we are still intoxicated in the morning to watch the sunrise together, in the jumping rock under the photo situation, parting has been slowly coming to us. I am very thankful for the people I met along the way, heard the story, if there is a chance that we will meet again, even if we can not meet again, I will also put this wonderful experience, deep in the heart, wish each other all the best!
Because of a story, because of a group of people, because of a home, in love with a city. I don't know if I'll have the chance to come back to Phoenix in the future, but since I'm here, I won't forget it. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty!
