What is the traditional culture of Zhoucun?

In the past many years, under the rotation and impact of the years, Zhoucun has intentionally or unintentionally retained the unique architecture and unique charm of the town. Human tricycles, Zhoucun sesame seed cake and Zhoucun old street have become the unique flavor and scenery of Zhoucun. These things have retained their original flavor, without which they would be incomplete Zhoucun. \ x0d \ x0d \ When you walk into Zhoucun, you will feel calm and relaxed, just like approaching a slow-flowing river. Here, ancient and modern coexist and live in harmony. You will see a human tricycles on a shady street between cars, motorcycles and electric cars. The driver brought a straw hat with a narrow edge, and perhaps an elegant woman wearing a cheongsam and holding a paper umbrella. This kind of human tricycles is also unique to Zhoucun. This is called riding a donkey backwards, that is, the bucket is in front and the coachman is sitting behind. Walking on the streets of Zhoucun, cars like this will pass by you slowly from time to time. Just wave your hand and a car will slowly stop beside you. Prices ranging from one yuan to two yuan will take you to your destination comfortably. The coachman is a good driver. With the sound of "excuse me, excuse me", the car skillfully shuttled between various vehicles, and the rubber wheels rustled on the ground without feeling any bumps smoothly. Street scenes on both sides of the road, tall French phoenix trees on both sides of the road, flashed slowly and orderly. If you happen to be a passenger, you will feel that you are in a lyrical documentary and out of touch with reality. This kind of human tricycles only belongs to Zhoucun, and it is difficult to see it outside Zhoucun, even if it is seen, it is very inappropriate. This kind of original vehicle will lose its charm like a tramp when it comes to other places. There are tricycles walking or parked everywhere in Zhoucun station, in front of shopping malls, hospitals, schools and streets. If the streets and alleys of Zhoucun are the blood vessels of the small town, then these tricycles have become the blood flowing in the blood vessels. If Zhoucun is a stage, human tricycles is an indispensable prop. If Zhoucun is a dress, it would be shabby without these tricycles. \ x0d \ x0d \ Zhoucun sesame seed cake has a unique flavor and is as old and simple as Zhoucun's history. A small round cake with a big bowl, as thin as a layer of transparent paper, and sesame seeds are evenly sprinkled on one side of the cake. Gently bite, crisp and sweet. When eating, the fragrance overflows from the inside out, making the whole person smoke completely, even the surrounding air is fragrant. Eating sesame cakes is also particular. You must gently pick up one edge of the sesame cake with your thumb and forefinger and send it to your mouth. Then, take a small bite with your front teeth, slowly put it in your mouth and chew it carefully, so that the fragrance can spread in delicate chewing. The eating method of Zhoucun sesame seed cake is a kind of culture, meticulous and elegant. Don't be impatient when eating sesame seed cakes. You mustn't swallow them in your hand. Otherwise, a complete cake will break into pieces in a rough grasp. Zhoucun sesame seed cake is a kind of particularly delicate porcelain, which rejects vulgarity. If you like a beautiful woman, you need meticulous pity and love to make her delicious. The taste of sesame seed cake is the homesickness of Zhoucun people who are wandering outside. The first thing Zhoucun people want to eat when they get home is baked wheat cake, and the first thing they want to bring when they leave home is baked wheat cake. When you arrive in Zhoucun, if you don't eat sesame cakes, you can't really arrive in Zhoucun at all. \x0d\\x0d\ When it comes to Zhoucun, we must talk about Zhoucun Street. Zhoucun Street was once the most prosperous commercial center in Qing Dynasty. The streets are still paved with blue stones of the same color. The shops on both sides of the street are all blue bricks and tiles, and the frontispiece is all mottled with scarlet paint. The doors are all small wooden lattices, or ancient door panels. Walking in the street, you will feel that you have entered history and an old movie. Most shops on both sides of the street deal in antiques and porcelain. You will see an old man dressed in dark black in China, with a long pipe in his hand, sitting in a shiny plush chair in front of a shop. This will remind you of a smoky yellow painting hanging somewhere. Zhang Yimou used a lot of street scenes when he filmed "Alive". There is also the location of the TV series "Big Dyeing Workshop" which also uses the street view of the main street. Street is a north-south street, and there is a tall archway at each end of the street, which is engraved with the word street. The southern end of the street connects the east-west street, which is the famous Silk Market Street. The history of Xiushui Street is similar to that of the main street, except that the shops on the street are all on one floor. The style of the frontispiece is similar to that of the street. Silk Market Street, as its name implies, specializes in silk. At that time, the silk weaving and dyeing industry in Zhoucun was quite prosperous, and Silk Market Street was once the most prosperous silk trading market in that year. Numerous famous businessmen have been created here. Today, the northern cloth city of Zhoucun is still one of the famous markets in China. Today, there are still many shops in the street that retain the ancient way of operation. The door is still a closed red lacquer wood counter, and all kinds of silk are still rolled into long strips and arranged on the counter. People in the counter greeted customers with wooden rulers and scissors. Such shops and counters are hard to see in today's business environment except in movies and television. Besides silk, there are steamer makers, handmade cloth shoes and a pot bottom repairman on the street. The atmosphere in Xiushui Street is very Shu Ya. Occasionally, I will hear the pipa coming from someone's shop, or the jingle of Beijing hula dance. These people who do business on the street are more like acting.
