From 2 1 century to 1000 years ago, I felt a little excited. There is no air pollution here, vegetables and fruits are natural, and even the smiles of pedestrians on the road are more cordial. Walking on the street in the capital of song dynasty, the road is full of bustling people, storytellers and acrobats see me too many things to see, and there are candied haws on the roadside. I naturally bought a bunch of greedy ones. After shopping for a while, my legs began to hurt and I was too tired to walk.
Just then, a man riding a burly horse passed through the downtown area, and pedestrians on the roadside gave way. If fresh clothes are full of life, it is simply imposing and I envy them. It is a coincidence that there is a rental shop around the corner. After I went in, I didn't wait for the shopkeeper to speak, so I said anxiously, "Shopkeeper, get your best horse out quickly. I'm in a hurry."
After accepting my money, the shopkeeper kindly took me to the backyard. I just want to move quickly in the market. Who knows, this shopkeeper brought out a donkey, and I was so angry. "Boss, where is my good horse?" The shopkeeper quickly explained that the horse here was gone and the donkey was not bad. Why don't you try? It turns out that horses were a luxury in the Song Dynasty. Only officials with certain powers are qualified to ride horses, and ordinary literati have to ride donkeys.
"Ma Xihan" is because they are only suitable for grazing on grasslands at higher altitudes. In the Song Dynasty, the northern part of Liao was eyeing up, and the western part of Xixia was an enemy, and the excellent grasslands were in the hands of others. Naturally, these horses are rare. Most of the war horses in the Song Dynasty need to be obtained through the mutual market. In order to ensure the number of horses, it is forbidden for people to raise horses privately, but it is a capital crime to kurama privately. When Emperor Taizong was in Taiping for five years, he said, "It's a letter to all officials and people who dare to hide, so who dares to ride horses and parade through the city?"
After listening to the store's explanation, my original interest was poured cold water. The store owner was unhappy with me and was busy selling me other means of transportation in the store. According to the owner of the shop, when the emperors of the Song Dynasty and the harem traveled, they sometimes rode in ox carts, and the families of officials and ordinary people were even more eager. However, even "livestock" are protected by law, and anyone who hurts or even slaughters livestock will be imprisoned. Even officials are not allowed to carry more than 10 kg when riding official animals.
Long time no see. This animal sounds rarer than people. Thinking of my leg pain, I asked the store if there were any sedan chairs to rent. The store is reluctant to part with it, as if the sedan chair can't sit down. Before the Song Dynasty, the sedan chair was called shoulder webbed, which was designed to facilitate people to walk on mountain roads. In the Tang Dynasty, the shoulder webbed developed into a step webbed, but it was only for members of the royal family to ride, and riding a step webbed once became a symbol of the royal status.
In the Song Dynasty, officials and civilians were still not allowed to ride in chariots, but at this time people transformed the sedan chair into a fully enclosed car with a window on the left and right. This kind of sedan chair is very comfortable to sit on and has become a fashion in Beijing. But if you take a sedan chair, in addition to renting a sedan chair, you have to pay an extra sedan chair fee, which is charged by mileage. It is precisely because of the booming business that the sedan chair rented in the store is in short supply and has been arranged very late. Naturally, there is no sedan chair.
In desperation, I can only ride a donkey around the market and be a picture of riding a donkey and reading a song book. But although I have a driver's license, I can't ride a donkey. The donkey stumbled all the way and accidentally hit the sedan chair in the street. A beautiful lady stepped down from the sedan chair and smiled like a flower. I was at a loss for a moment, so I hurried forward and bowed like a scholar in a TV series. "Excuse me, what's your name and where do you live?"
Who knows that the girl not only ignored me, but also turned away with a snort, not to mention how rude the girl in Song Dynasty was bound by ethical codes. That's not all. After the girl talked to the sedan chair bearer several times, the sedan chair bearer straightened up and slapped me: "You little boy, my wife is a good family. How can you slander me out of thin air? "
I was slapped inexplicably and accused of slandering others. I look puzzled. Another sedan chair bearer next to me was considerate, so he pulled me aside and said, I think you are a gentleman, how can you treat my young lady as a brothel woman, and how can you not speak well of her knowledge? It suddenly dawned on me that calling girls and ladies in Water Margin is not frivolous, just because I didn't learn traditional cultural knowledge well. I really lost face in this bustling downtown.
After apologizing to the "little lady", I led the donkey through Panjialou and walked eastward until I reached West Street. Suddenly I saw a shop called Sangjiawazi. It's noisy and there are gongs and drums. Come to think of it carefully, is that what the history textbook says about Goulanwa Temple? That can't be missed. I heard there are many interesting things in it. It can be said to be the entertainment square of the capital. Drama performances, variety shows and cross talk sketches are all concentrated here, so that they can be repeated every day.
After I walked into Wazi, there were many people here, both restaurants and teahouses were crowded with people, and even grocery stores were crowded with people. Walking, I found places separated by fences and surrounded by curtains. Every place is surrounded by a group of people. This may be the artist's performance place-Goulan. Goulan is the basic performance unit of Wazi, and the performance time and place of Goulan are basically unchanged. During the festival, even the interior of the royal garden has been set up with goulan and terrace for people to watch and enjoy entertainment performances.
Goulan's programs are also colorful, including rap, singing and dancing, zaju, southern opera, sumo wrestling, animal training and acrobatics. I have made all the choices I have seen. Let me talk about them first. After queuing for admission, a large group of people rushed to a place like crazy, holding a brother to ask, it turned out that Li Shishi, the first beauty in Beijing, was going to give a solo concert. Those people are all her fanatical fans, so I have to join in the fun.
Wazi Goulan is the birthplace of pop music in Beijing. Many classic songs will spread from Wazi to the streets and lanes, and people will compete to sing. Li Shishi is famous for rap in Beijing. Rap is a program that sings Song Ci with music. The rapper sings softly, beats the time with his hands and follows the rhythm. Plus, he has been with Xiao, which means that people are not drunk.
After listening to the rap, I reluctantly walked out of the tile house. It's getting late. I have to find an inn to have a rest. Coming face to face, a hotel that looks very imposing comes into view. A pair of stone lions at the door can see that this store is extraordinary. Now that I'm here, I'm going to live comfortably. I strode into the hotel, and the bartender greeted me politely and offered to help me with my things, making people feel at home.
Further inside, the interior decoration is very luxurious, the furnishings and furniture look like antiques, and there is a back garden. The guests who came face to face with me were all well dressed, and even a few people with exotic customs passed me by. This hotel is really occupied by people with status. Walking to the counter, I took out my money and asked the shopkeeper to open a good room for me. But the shopkeeper smiled and returned the money to me, saying that I would just mail it to him.
It is broken. I won't go to the official post office. It is said that in the Song Dynasty, "forty people should not enter the post office." At the thought of being slapped, I felt a cold sweat on my forehead and quickly explained to the shopkeeper that I had gone to the wrong place and ran out. In the Song Dynasty, ordinary people could only choose private hotels to stay. The banks of the riverside to the east of Tokyo State Bridge are densely populated areas of major hotels. "Baokangmenwazi in the west of the street and the hotel along the city in the east" is called an inn.
When it comes to economic benefits, it has to be the hostel north of Gongyuan and Imperial College, because most of the people who come here to stay are candidates or candidates, and the natural price is relatively close to the people. Now is not the year of scientific research, so not many people come to stay, but some candidates who failed in scientific research in previous years have not returned to China and continue to prepare for the exam here, which can be said to be the earliest "Beijing drift". After booking the room, it's already dusk, so it's time to go. You will feast your eyes.
After three years in Germany, Song Taizu ordered the opening of the government: "The night market in Beijing has reached the third drum and cannot be banned." . Now, business activities are prosperous, citizens' culture is rich and colorful, and the night market is not limited by time at all. After the night in the capital of song dynasty, the restaurants in the street are brightly lit everywhere, and they are busy, which is more lively than during the day.
I had done my homework before I came to the Song Dynasty. There are two large night markets in the capital of song dynasty, one is Qiao Zhou night market around Yujie Street, and the other is Panlou Street. State Bridge, which straddles the banks of Bianhe River, is a famous bustling area in the city. After leaving the south gate of Tokyo, I went north and came to this charming night market. The state bridge is brightly lit, and the cries of various merchants are one after another. It is simply a street of food, and there are so many kinds of snacks that it is different all year round.
After visiting this night market, you can't miss another. Although it is already late at night, there will still be a carriage rental service around the stone bridge in the city, which is open all night, saving the trouble of running around the road. The night market in Panlou Street is mostly a goods store selling exquisite toys, but there is a tile to the east outside Songmen, and there are a lot of people watching the performances, which is more lively than Zhouqiao.
After visiting the night market in the capital of song dynasty, I have to sigh that the ancients were all night owls. Now the night is deep. I have to hurry back to the inn to rest. After all, it's a one-day trip to Tokyo, and I'm going back to modern times tomorrow morning. Join us for a few days next time and explore some delicious and interesting things in Tokyo. You can not only relax your body and mind, but also increase your knowledge, killing two birds with one stone.
