Recovery: Entering Tai Ji Chuan's Hometown

Recently announced as a famous historical and cultural town in China, Guangfu Ancient City in Handan, Hebei Province used to be like an old man who had been sleeping for a long time, and not many people knew it. Just because people forget it doesn't mean it is mediocre. In fact, Guangfu is an ancient city, a water city and a city of Tai Chi, with rich historical and cultural heritage-following in the footsteps of Princess Wencheng.

Yalong river basin is the birthplace of Tibetan culture, with an average elevation of more than 3600 meters and a warm and humid climate. It is the cradle of farming civilization in Tibet. It was here that the Yalong River tribe grew and developed until Songtsan Gampo unified Tibet and established the Tubo Dynasty. The mountains and rivers here can testify that in the fifteenth year of Tang Zhenguan (AD 64 1) ... Zhenhu: Twilight City visited Xiuniang deeply.

Zhenhu Lake is located on the bank of Taihu Lake, more than 20 kilometers away from Suzhou City. This is a chic town surrounded by white walls and clear water. It is said that as early as the Warring States period, it was already a prosperous scene of "every boudoir embroidered and stretched, and every aunt learned needles skillfully".

At the end of 2008, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and National Cultural Heritage Administration jointly announced four batches of *** 143 famous historical and cultural towns in China, urging the protection of ancient towns and seeking romantic tours of Jinxi.

There is a gentle place called Jinxi. This river, which was bred in the five lakes and three swings in the south of the Yangtze River, has always had the reputation of "Jin Lang Jade Wave": the shore is full of peaches and plums, and the leaves are everywhere; In the sunrise and sunset, the stream is full of gold, like a ribbon. This is the origin of the name "Jinxi". The ancient stream carries an ancient Qiandeng ancient town in Jinxi Town, exploring the light of humanity.

In early spring, I went down to the south of the Yangtze River and looked at the ancient town all the way. I found that all the famous ones stood an ancient tower. They are undoubtedly an important symbol of local prosperity. Before I entered Qiandeng Town, Kunshan, I saw the Qingfeng Tower, which stood on the white wall and tile, graceful. No wonder the locals call it "Beauty Tower". Jiangsu: Water town, full of vitality.

In your mind, you may store or seek such a picture: in early spring and March, you walked through a slender ancient street, walked on a smooth and shiny stone road, and faced a hundred-year-old house, ancient house and moss-covered brick walls and columns. In an instant, your eyes twinkled with the turn of the century, and the years passed, flashing bright sparks. Jiangyong, Hunan Province —— The "Daughter Country" in the depths of Lingnan

Speaking of "daughter country", perhaps the first thing you think of is the Mosuo woman by Lugu Lake in Yunnan. However, deep in the valleys of Hunan, Lingnan and Mengzhuling, there is still a "daughter country". Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the trickle of the deep mountain canyon drips all the year round, "cold does not soak muscles, summer does not break bones." The strangest thing is that this place especially likes to live in Xidi and Hongcun for women.

The most authoritative version of Xidi and Hongcun comes from UNESCO: "Xidi and Hongcun, two traditional villages, have maintained an amazing regional style of rural houses, which have disappeared or undergone great changes in the past years. Their street forms, buildings and decorations, as well as their houses are combined with extensive water systems. Interview with Longlihan Cultural Island

Due to my inherent concern and impulse to flow, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I temporarily put aside my feelings wrapped by deep family ties and made a special trip from Longli, Jinping, not far from my hometown in Liping, Guizhou, to this beautiful ancient town. Walking into Longli ancient town, the pace will slow down unconsciously. The epitome of Ciqikou "Old Chongqing"

The ancient town was built in the Xianping period of Song Zhenzong, formerly known as Baiya Town. Ciqikou was named after the rich production and distribution of porcelain in the early years of Qing Dynasty, and named after the founding of New China because of the connection between porcelain and magnetism. It is surrounded by Gele Mountain, Qingshui River and Fenghuang River with beautiful scenery. Because it is close to Jialing River, it used to be a famous commercial pier, and I went to Ziyang for tea in spring.

Da Ziyang City is built on a high hillside, and the Hanshui River is at the foot. There are only two roads in the whole county, and there are shops selling tea on both sides of the street. The ancient town of Ziyang is sandwiched between these two roads and goes down the mountain. There are stone houses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, winding stone paths and steps, and you can visit Tangshan in the rain.

The closer to the destination Tangshan, the thicker the fog. Not only from the transpiration of rain, but also from the volatilization in the deep crust. Tangshan has always been known as the first of the "four famous springs", followed by Xiaotangshan in Beijing, Tanggangzi in Liaoning and Conghua in Guangdong. The gurgling spring veins will inevitably attract a large number of contacts, and Tangshan has long been a holiday destination that countless people yearn for. Visiting Shanghai aborigines in Xinchang

According to authoritative research, Xinchang Ancient Town in Nanhui District of Shanghai was a seawall more than 1000 years ago. In the Song Dynasty, the coast moved eastward, the sea dried up, and the seawall became a saltworks, the largest of the 34 saltworks in Guangdong and Zhejiang. In the Song Dynasty, the salt transportation department of Zhejiang moved to Xinchang, so Xinchang became the most prosperous salt-producing area in Zhejiang and Zhejiang at that time: an ancient town accompanied by tidal sounds.

Tidal waves from the Pacific Ocean enter the East China Sea, and one of them goes straight to Hangzhou Bay, which connects the Qiantang River estuary. In this trumpet-shaped bay, the tide has become extremely turbulent, and an unstoppable momentum has emerged instantly. What is particularly amazing is that when the tide reaches the vicinity of Yan Guan, it will stand on the wall and form a straight line. Fencheng Jinpinfeng Tang Yun

If the Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, then Fenhe, the second largest tributary of the Yellow River, is the mother river of the children of Sanjin. Fenhe water moistens almost the whole Shanxi, nourishes the ancient and rich land of Sanjin, and breeds a long and profound Sanjin culture, which can also be called Fenhe culture. For example, mellow Fenjiu, honest and gentle Shanxi businessmen. Gubeikou: an ancient town in the embrace of the Great Wall

Born and raised in Gubeikou Town, he has hardly left for more than half a century and knows it like the back of his hand. It was a sunny morning in early spring, and he was listening. Outside the window, Panlong Mountain and Crouching Tiger Mountain lie quietly, and the beacon tower sits solemnly on the mountain, and you can see it when you look up. The 2000 years in Gubeikou Town reappeared like a movie when talking and laughing: the Millennium kiln fire never stopped.

Chenlu Ancient Town is located in Yuan Shang, 20 kilometers southeast of Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province. From Xi 'an, take "Xitong Expressway" and drive for 1.5 hours. All the way is a continuous terrace, terraced fields in the garden, and a few apricot flowers and pear flowers are scattered on the yellow land. The old man sitting in the sun on the stone mill in the village has dark skin, Yaoli: the ancient charm of the "holy land" for porcelain making.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there were many handicraft workshops producing ceramics, including more than 0/00 porcelain kilns and more than 0/00 wooden rafts, so they were called "kilns". By the early Ming Dynasty, Jingdezhen had become the center of porcelain industry. When the porcelain kiln moved out, "inside the kiln" seemed to be a bit of a misnomer, so it was renamed as "Yaoli", but there was a little more "purple gas came from the east and Yaochi looked from the west". Longmen Ancient Town: Sun Quan's hometown spread martial arts.

In my impression, most towns in the south of the Yangtze River are inseparable from the nourishment of boiling water. Residents of the town live in the water with pillows, go out for boat trips, and immerse themselves in the world of water in their daily lives. In addition, the town is often entangled in rain, and the watery and wet bluestone road reflects the white walls and tiles on both sides of the street, which lasts for a long time ...
