Chongqing also has a name called Shancheng. Geographical conditions make Chongqing people accustomed to the feeling of going out to see the mountains. Although the mountains are not as magnificent as the Five Mountains, the peaks are adjacent to each other. This has always been the most distinctive feature of Chongqing. There are no elevators in more than a dozen high-rise buildings, which is perhaps the most peculiar architectural landscape in the world only in Chongqing. For many years, the municipal government has been advocating the lighting project, which also makes Chongqing one of the three wonderful night cities in the world. However, Hong Kong and Paris, France spend several times more on night shows than Chongqing, which relies on this unique urban landscape to be included. I think Chongqing people are still laughing when they have taken advantage of enough. Chongqing in 1996 is different from Chongqing in 2003 in terms of urban architecture. In today's high-rise buildings, Chongqing still maintains the same building characteristics as building blocks along the mountaintop, but this kind of building blocks is not as simple as before. More and more beautiful architectural appearance and comprehensive urban planning will definitely make Chongqing's tomorrow more and more humanistic and comfortable. The terrain of Chongqing will become more and more beautiful like mountains and rivers that have been maintained for thousands of years, so I think this monster is not only Chongqing a few years ago, but also the most unique monster in Chongqing in the future. I am sincerely proud of this monster. No matter what kind of strange landscape, I may not have the pride that Chongqing can maintain for a long time!
The second monster: Sanfu hot pot is lovely.
When it comes to hot pot, Chongqing people will be dumbfounded. The most unique food culture feature, spicy hot pot, is almost the representative of Chongqing people. It is said that the earliest Chongqing hot pot originated from boatmen on the Chuanjiang River and gradually formed to resist the cold and humidity of the river. Chongqing is a place with plenty of water, and the air in the city is extremely humid, which may be the most fundamental reason why Chongqing people love spicy hot pot! Ordinary people usually love and hate Chongqing hot pot. Love is because it really tempts your stomach, and hate is because people pay more and more attention to their "luster on their faces", so it is really difficult to be patient. In fact, foreigners who have come to Chongqing for a long time are worse than Chongqing locals. I have a friend from Shandong. When he first came, not to mention eating hot pot, even spicy noodles were scared at first sight. Now, I can eat more than a Chongqing person. If I can't eat hot pot once a week, see his enthusiasm. It seems that you have eaten all the hot pot water! Chongqing is indeed the strangest. The hotter the weather, the better the business of hot pot restaurants. I don't think anyone can really say why. Although there are many explanations, none really explains why Chongqing's hot pot business is the best in dog days. As Mr. Mo Huaiqi said in his article, whether it is "fake dry fire", sweating, or even drinking cold beer, it is only one reason, and it is only a superficial reason. The deep-seated reason lies in the temperament of Chongqing people, and what is in the temperament cannot be summarized in one word. The honesty and frankness in Chongqing people's bones should still be transcendent. However, judging from the changes in these years, the honesty of Chongqing people is no longer just a feeling of being brave as before. In recent years, more and more taxi drivers have been commended and more and more funds have been introduced. It cannot be said that Chongqing people have realized the importance of market economy. Although we are not as good as many cities, China's fourth municipality will not wait to grow up. In the "dog days" of the market economy, can Chongqing people really achieve the same courage and courage as eating hot pot? I don't think this can be summarized by the author, but we can wait and see the temperament of Chongqing people on the other side.
The third monster: you can't walk fast by car.
Thinking of this, I have to say that the author can survive in this city with flying steps, and even often walk from work to home for an hour or two in temperament, which is the result of those years of growth. Although the construction, development and utilization of traffic trunk roads in Chongqing are much better than before in recent years, and even an eight-hour traffic network in the main city will be built in the near future, there are still many times when you really can't walk fast. The main reason is that the original author said that the quality of drivers really needs to be improved, and another main reason is that the change of lines and the increase of one-way streets increase the cycle time of vehicles. This is also the result of the first comprehensive traffic survey in Chongqing since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the measures to improve traffic conditions according to the actual situation in Chongqing. In addition, the municipal government put forward the idea of establishing an eight-hour Chongqing traffic network, which may be the first such bold move in all cities. You know, Chongqing is the largest municipality directly under the central government in China, with a vast territory, and its geographical location is very difficult for traffic construction. Just started for half an hour, the project in the main city has already made everyone feel how big and difficult this kind of work is. This strange phenomenon is estimated to be a long-standing phenomenon in Chongqing. After all, Chongqing is a mountain city, and the relocation of the municipal government will enhance the multi-regional development of the commercial center in the future. As for what kind of situation can be improved, will it be faster than walking by car? Otherwise, it is not a mountain city!
The fourth monster: air-conditioned cattail fans are sold at the same time.
In the past, the power supply in Chongqing was relatively tight, and this strange phenomenon was very prominent. The voltage is unstable and the lines are aging, so many families have to prepare a cattail fan for backup even if they have air conditioning. If nothing else, there is a cattail leaf fan in the hand of a bronze carving eater in Jiefangbei Haochi Street. Of course, these conditions were outstanding in the past. However, with the changes in the modernization process, the scope of this strange phenomenon in Chongqing seems to be getting smaller and smaller in recent years. This is not only a simple problem that Chongqing has entered a well-off society as a whole, but the key is that Chongqing's electric power development has really kept up with Chongqing's economic development. Now, except where the old network is still used, electricity consumption is basically not a big problem, and even in some cases, it is encouraging electricity consumption. The ever-expanding Jiangjin Russell Power Station has been exporting power to southwest China and even supplying power to central China. For the local people, this situation is that the electricity consumption can't keep up with the power generation, so it is normal that this strange phenomenon will gradually degenerate in the progress of the times, and the system reform of the power sector will also help to serve the power development. Although there are more or less electric tigers, it is only a matter of time before this cattail leaf fan disappears, and it is slowly approaching it.
The fifth monster: running around the street with a stick.
I remember that when the eighteen eccentrics in Chongqing were published, most of Chongqing's great and mighty armies came from rural areas, so many people didn't need to farm at home and had nothing to do during the slack season. Farmers in China value the business opportunities of Chongqing, a city built on the mountain. Day after day, year after year, they shed their hard sweat on the hillside of Chongqing. A TV program even put this monster on TV to let everyone guess what it is in Chongqing. Some people in Chongqing are wounded, and some people say it is like a big tobacco bag in Yunnan. Hehe, no one expected that this was the market occupation created by Chongqing's topography. Of course, the change of ideas has made people in the city take a fancy to this eternal market. With the birth of Bangbangjun Company and various domestic service companies in Female Soldiers, it cannot be said that in the eyes of Chongqing people, Bangbangjun has only strength, market vision and economic mind. Chongqing Bangbangjun, who has climbed over the ridge, hopes to go well all the way in the future, and the sticks in his hands can be more contemporary.
The sixth strange: ladies like to show their knees.
Chongqing's clothing knot has a unique business model and concept, which is not available in other cities, and this uniqueness is a dialogue between Ms. Chongqing and the clothing industry. I dare to wear it if you dare to sell it, and I dare to sell it if you dare to wear it. Year after year, I don't know who is guiding the consumption of clothes. Every year, Chongqing men's eyes always see many unexpected surprises. The ladies living in the mountain city not only have strong bodies because of the terrain, but also the water of the two rivers moistens their beautiful faces. No wonder there is such a saying: "I didn't know the official position until I arrived in Beijing, the money until I arrived in Shenzhen, and I didn't know it was too early to get married until I arrived in Chongqing." Although most of this smacks of ridicule, it also truly reflects the boldness and temperament of Ms. Chongqing. An entrepreneur in the clothing industry described a local woman in Chongqing like this. When she pays her salary every month, she calculates the living expenses, utilities, children's tuition and so on. After calculation, the rest of the money went there and went to the mall. She had to buy her favorite suit this month to feel at ease, and the next day she showed her uniqueness in front of others. When describing the ladies in Chongqing, a women's magazine used the title "Chongqing women are horribly beautiful", which was obviously deeply moved. This is our Chongqing ladies. Most of them are Chongqing women who have the conditions to show their beauty in front of your eyes.
The seventh monster: the tortoise Lao Zi takes it casually.
In the eyes of foreigners who have stayed in Chongqing for a long time, it seems natural for Chongqing people to swear, and it is slowly affected. I have a friend in the northeast. When I first came to Chongqing, I didn't know how many people were worried about this casual swearing. After a long time, I suddenly found that this gentleman is more fluent in swearing than I am, and even said that being with friends is just a casual remark. If you think about it at will, it is mostly influenced by friends like me in Chongqing over the years, so as long as you are with this gentleman, it is the feeling that he has become a Chongqing native and I am a foreigner, because he speaks standard Chongqing dialect, and of course he casually carries Chongqing's characteristic language, while I speak Mandarin. Although I can't speak standard, it is absolutely no problem to mix a foreign accent. At present, Chongqing has changed a lot in recent years. The expansion of administrative areas and the opportunities brought by the western development are also slowly affecting Chongqing people. Few people used to speak Mandarin in the street, including myself, but now more and more people speak Mandarin in public places. How long can this standard Chongqing feature last? Maybe time will tell you, and time will tell us whether you are still speaking such a distinctive dialect. I seldom say it anyway. Don't be surprised if you don't hear it in the future!
The eighth monster: it is uncomfortable not to eat small noodles.
Like Chongqing's special hot pot, the most attractive noodles are absolutely enjoyable. No one will deliberately invite themselves to eat noodles, but no one will not like this thing. Eating small noodles in Chongqing is absolutely nothing unusual, and even high-grade food is absolutely not as refreshing as small noodles in terms of appetite. On the morning of my business trip back to Chongqing, as Mr. Mo Huaiqi said, I thought of the bowl of rough noodles. Because it is not as delicate as Cantonese dim sum, it is rough. High cauldron is boiling gangsters' water, and slightly yellow noodles are churning in the muddy water, plus all kinds of miscellaneous condiments. It doesn't look very cool, but it will earn enough appetite. After eating that feeling, the word is "comfortable" (meaning "cool" in Chongqing dialect)! Small noodles that have earned the appetite of Chongqing people have also made many catering businesses in Chongqing rich. You don't need deliberate layout, luxurious decoration, or even too much space, which is enough for you to be a small boss with a hot business. Diners don't mind eating standing or sitting. Although from my memory, the plot of this noodle has never changed. Spicy noodles that drool when you think about it are nothing to outsiders, but they are a part of life for Chongqing people. Don't forget to eat a bowl of spicy noodles on the street when you come to Chongqing!
The ninth monster: Walking in the street with bare arms.
Unlike the ladies in Chongqing, the men in Chongqing seem to be slowly changing. In summer, women show more and more, while men show less and less over the years. In the summer of Chongqing, you once saw a man wearing a shirt, tie and even a suit and tie, and you would give him a white eye. Now there are more and more such people in Chongqing in summer. The office has central air conditioning, and even the bus has air conditioning when going out. The time to really feel hot is the time from the office to the station, which is nothing compared with feeling. Street culture and modern concepts are influencing and changing a new generation of Chongqing people. People who are slovenly do art, people who are fashionable and avant-garde make you change your ideas, new ideas make you change your thoughts, and the depth of your thoughts makes you have to change. This is the Chongqing men now, a group of men who are under pressure living among beautiful women.
The tenth monster: It's really pleasant to see in the street.
One thing in Chongqing is changing with each passing day, and that is Stefanie, which is often called "noun". The word "Xiong Qi" has long been a household name in China, and there is another word that foreigners can't understand. Searching all dictionaries can't find a standard explanation. And it has a poetic feeling: hope. As vivid as Jie Fangbei's clock-"Stop shaking". More and more places in the urban area have become downtown, and more and more beautiful girls and handsome guys pass by you. Looking around always gives people the feeling of being absent-minded, while Chongqing people looking around are always absent-minded and have no desire for beauty. Men can see women, women can see men, old men can see, old women can see. As long as you still have eyes, you don't have to worry that the handsome guys and beautiful women you see won't sell you. This is called the heart of beauty. In recent years, there are many draft competitions in Chongqing almost every year, such as model contest, miss business contest, automobile and motorcycle model contest, trade fair, exhibition and so on. You can also have a look, have a look, and vote for shopping life will always make you feel a lot. When you sit somewhere or walk in the street, look at it with your eyes. It's not necessarily just handsome guys. Look at the changes in Chongqing, not bad!
The eleventh strange: running a newspaper is like planting cabbage.
Whether it's Chinese cabbage or Chinese cabbage, in short, this cabbage is not a strange thing in the dish, and it can be eaten all year round now. It's really not surprising to compare Chongqing's newspapers to growing Chinese cabbage. I don't remember how many newspapers have been published in Chongqing since I learned about newspapers, let alone those times when we didn't experience them. There are also many weekly and semi-daily newspapers. Some newspapers that have been changed into daily newspapers have certain political factors. Look at chongqing morning post, Evening News, Business Daily, Workers Daily, Economic Daily, Health Daily, Youth Daily, Legal Daily, Contemporary Workers Daily, Information Daily, Football, etc. , as well as Yuzhou service herald, new women's newspaper and weekly magazine's urban fever. From "Extra" before liberation to fact tracking today, it is estimated that few people can tell how many newspapers and branches there are in Chongqing except those who study the history of Chongqing. Schools, institutions, companies, and even foreign investors entering Chongqing have to keep up with the trend. Newspapers appeared one after another, and I followed closely. Therefore, it is not strange news to cancel an allocation number in Chongqing, because it is really not difficult to get an allocation number. It is strange that only people who run newspapers know how practical it is. I think some people have been opening new newspapers in recent years, the purpose of which is to drive for profit, which is far from the function that a real newspaper should have. The better the development situation in Chongqing, it is estimated that this beautiful tradition will persist until the end. But I am ashamed to say that even I don't know which newspaper in Chongqing is the real big newspaper. On the contrary, the price of selling waste newspapers at the end of the year is lower than yours every year. Hey, this is a strange thing that hurts me!
The twelfth monster: the baby bet is heroic.
In the north, men are called men, while in the south, they are called good guys. It is called Yazi in the Central Plains and Yazi in the Northwest. Only Chongqing is a place where men call babies, which is similar to Chongqing calling girls. Without an accurate age, people may call them that. They all say that gambling is not gambling, but gambling is temperament. Chongqing children don't lose face, hard (en) is not afraid. Opening their mouths is: "Come on, look at that hanging." It doesn't matter if you are drunk. Come on, just one wine, one wine, one water, one glass of wine, one drunk, what's the big deal. People who want to come to Pakistan have always been like this. They have temperament and dare to say and do. Anything can be put down, even that face. In fact, I feel a little regretful when I suffer losses in the back, but when I face things, I just want to stand up. A man never says he is a prodigal son outside, but he doesn't have a smiling face when he comes home. The real Chongqing people's personality may be a little rustic, but in the face of today's environment, Chongqing people's indomitable and enterprising personality can also bring infinite dawn to Chongqing's tomorrow. The personality of daring to eat crabs is definitely a good player in today's historical stage, and recklessness is not a hero of Chongqing people. Chongqing should not have that kind of fetal god. Can't Chongqing people wake up today? The significance of Xiong Qi should be the proudest capital of Chongqing. If you have the chance to meet Chongqing cubs, you don't have to worry. It's definitely not Chongqing kids who are afraid of their hands and feet. He doesn't deserve to be called Xiao Er.
The thirteenth monster: short boys and tall girls fall in love.
It's really funny to say that all the beautiful women in Chongqing can get into the hall, but this god plays tricks on people. Most men in Chongqing are a little disabled in height. It is normal for you to see girls tall and boys short in the street. Personally, I have been bored with this height since I was a child, and I have worked in the fashion industry for several years. That tragic situation simply requires great courage to bear the burning pain of a group of people looking down from above. A few years ago, I met two young ladies in the street and heard a sentence: "I can only wear flat shoes since I was a child." . . . . "God! This sentence is enough to make an old disabled person like me fall and don't want to get up. But fortunately, I am old. The most exciting thing is to hear girls say that the most important thing for men is personality charm. Hehe, fortunately, it is not only the spirit of Ah Q, but also a little recognized, so all men in Chongqing have short but strong and bloody personality characteristics. Whether joking or true, the average height of men in Chongqing is lower than the national average, and the average height of women in Chongqing is higher than the national average. That doesn't matter anymore, because in fact, the streets are full of tall girls walking happily with their short men. I think the creator is kind to Chongqing men, so that Chongqing men can also enjoy the beautiful tall girls in this city. Happy! It's time to laugh, hehehehehe, a little silly and a little cute!
The fourteenth monster: spread out mahjong to treat guests.
There are customs and habits to entertain guests everywhere, but there is no place like Chongqing to entertain guests with that inedible mahjong! A few years ago, it was even popular to say that one billion people bet 900 million, and 100 million people were numb. A few years ago, no matter in the streets of Chongqing, the truest and most heard sound was the shuffling sound of mahjong. Playing mahjong in Chongqing is not like playing mahjong in other places. Clean, fast and tidy, saving both motor and electricity. The "contracting" system is convenient for a person to do things without causing trouble to leisure, so the scene is hot when it turns fast. However, this strange phenomenon seems to have changed in the last two years. There are fewer people playing mahjong, and more and more people are fighting landlords. You don't need to teach those who can play cards. As long as they know the numbers, no one can understand them. As long as there are seats in teahouses, bars, karaoke bars and parks, there is no place where there is no such game. Playing mahjong until late at night is somewhat disturbing to the people. No matter how good the mahjong tablecloth is, the decibel is not small, because the cards have to collide with each other, but the landlord uses the cards, which is silent and environmentally friendly. This business opportunity actually created a company in Chongqing to invest a lot of money to set up a company to produce cards. You think this scene is a big fight? Big! It is said that the country consumes two playing cards per capita every year. China has a population of over one billion. Do you think this market is big? Big!
The fifteenth monster: put a ring on the bus
There are many people in Chongqing, so as long as there are people, it will be lively. The bus is like a big stage, which shows the hot personality of Chongqing people on the other hand. There is no drama on the stage, and it is always lively for a while. A coach is not wide in Chongqing. Again, there are so many people in Chongqing. It often happens that you step on your back, and sometimes you don't even touch the ground when you get on or off the bus, so there will always be quarrels and fierce performances. "* * * What's the point? What's the hoof stepping on? You're a treasure, and you have a hoof stepping on. You turtle talk fiercely. I see what you're going to do today ... These are just a few things, most clearly the driver and conductor on the bus. It's really strange that you didn't encounter many such things at work that day. It's just that the war of words is better Chongqing is a stove, and the weather is hot and stuffy. Once a fuse is lit, the whole martial arts drama is the result of the ending. Men are like this, and women don't let men. People have to sigh that Chongqing people are really a little overwhelmed. I think the ancestors of Ba people also had such a hot personality. An indomitable Chongqing man used his head as a mortgage to save the living space for Chongqing people, and used the army to defend against the enemy. Later, he committed suicide by offering his head to thank his neighbors for their loyalty. This man is Man Zi, a Pakistani general during the Warring States Period, and his cemetery is in Qixinggang, Yuzhong Peninsula. This hot personality, now Chongqing people can only stay. Say take it-just cut off your head with a knife. The difference from Chongqing Wushu today is that he fights for the security and dignity of Pakistan, not for his instep, chest and bones. I really hope that this behemoth can disappear in Chongqing as soon as possible, and put that fiery energy on the real "big stage", with less unnecessary disputes and more understanding and tolerance.
The sixteenth monster: "Treasure" is everywhere.
It must be a rare thing to be troubled by a treasure word, but in the mouth of Chongqing people, the treasure of this treasure is somewhat unpleasant to listen to, because this treasure refers to people, and it is strange to put people and objects together, even if you are a treasure. Do things confused-"cherish"; Can't distinguish things-"treasure"; Speaking is not important-"treasure"; Fight easily, accompanied by money and bloodshed-"Treasure"; Family members also talk about "*"-"treasure"; Doing business in disorder, no repeat customers-"treasure"; The beast is also called Yao Er-"Bao"; Step on the gas when you see a red light-a real treasure. A word that can't be found in the dictionary and explained by linguists is most commonly used in Chongqing, but when you ask him what "treasure" means, he can't say it clearly, but once he says it, Chongqing people will know. As Mr. Mo Huaiqi said, this word embodies the cunning and stupidity of Chongqing people. Swearing with "treasure" is between cursing and not cursing. It looks like gnashing your teeth, but it doesn't hurt anyone. Sometimes it also implies a function: to show off one's prestige, the other party can step down, and the two argue that as long as one "treasure" is exported, it is likely to mean quitting, and martial arts will not be able to sing any more. In fact, many times Chongqing people don't mean to curse or ridicule Meiyu. Some people find that they have done something wrong to scold Meiyu, which is mostly a feeling of regret. Miss an opportunity and be promoted to nothing, not a treasure; Arguing or even fighting over trifles, delaying business, making less money and working less is not a treasure; Greedy and cheap were cheated, and as a result, the bamboo basket was empty. I think I have some money, so what is it that I am not a person or a treasure behind me? So sometimes it's good to curse or ridicule. When talking about other people's treasures, think about yourself first. Which is the treasure?
The seventeenth monster: people's names have no place names.
How strange the name is, the place names in Chongqing are even stranger. There are countless gates in a Yuzhong Peninsula in Chongqing, and the eighteen gates on the tip, namely Chaotianmen Gate, Wanglongmen Gate, Qiansimen Gate, Chuqimen Gate and Arc de Triomphe, are eighteen places. Yiping Town, Lianglukou Town, Sanyuan Town, 4 km, Wulidian Town, Liuhe Street, Qixinggang Town, 8 km, Jiuchikan Town, Shiqiaodian and Department Store are all streets where drinking is easy to shout. Chongqing is a mountain city, so many place names have a little slope. Pipa Mountain, Erling, Hutouya, Liujiatai, Wangjiapo, Huanggou, Eighteen Ladders ... Places that feel a little flat like Yangjiaping and Shapingba are very expensive. In the past, the traffic in Chongqing was not very developed, so small places were places where people lived, so there were many villages and so on. There are two Daping villages, one in the real Daping and the other under Huaxin Street. Although Wuyi New Village was named after liberation, it is inevitably tainted. With the continuous development of the urban area, the former rural areas nearby have also become urban areas, and the title still maintains the feeling of the original production team; Most families of large state-owned enterprises still use villages to represent a region, such as metallurgical village and steel flower village. If there is any road, it will be terrible. There is a unique road, "five-inch road", with a short name, hehe, short! It takes at least one hour from Wulidian to Cuntan by car. Of course, like many cities, there are many place names that have certain commemorative significance. For example, Zou Rong Road is to commemorate the martyrs of Zou Rong; Others are named after cities, such as Beijing Road, Nanjing Road and Tianjin Road. The fog in the mountain city also makes the place names of the mountain city a bit foggy.
Strange 18: Funeral as a happy event.
This strange phenomenon in Chongqing two years ago was worse than that of the ancients who lost their wives and hit the basin. If someone dies, it means setting off firecrackers, playing mahjong, playing tricks, drinking and even singing, and staying with the deceased for three days and three nights. If you don't do this, you will be called an unfilial son. At noon in the morning and late at night, the three-way firecrackers made the neighbors miserable. In this case, it is useless to close the window, so it can only be regarded as a war era. The most irritating things are toys and singing, which makes me sad. At first, there may be some sad feelings. Later, I didn't know what to sing, even I sang it myself, whether it was my brother or sister. Fortunately, I can't hear the voice of the dead, otherwise, even if there is still a breath, it is mostly angry. However, with the introduction of the government's policy of prohibiting firecrackers and the subsequent implementation of funeral regulations, this phenomenon gradually began to disappear in urban areas. Just as people were not used to firecrackers at first, they gradually began to get used to saving trouble. After all, materialistically speaking, no matter how busy you are to die, he (she) already doesn't know, and it's really not a happy thing to let the dead survive. It is also true to let the dead be quiet and the survivors be peaceful, and to replace this illusory performance with true filial piety and mourning.
