Walking around Old Town of Lijiang with a leisurely heart and following your own feelings, you will be in the picture scroll of ancient buildings and the Grand View Garden of ancient civilizations. Walking on the polished Wuhuashi Street, just like a passer-by on the ancient tea-horse road, you can shake off your fatigue and dust in the crowded square street, and then bring tea culture to the world outside the mountain. The streets of the ancient city are arranged according to the mountain, either flat and straight, or steep and circuitous, and the space is sometimes open and sometimes closed, forming a dense and tortuous open pattern. Walking in Old Town of Lijiang, the direction of water is your guide. Clear water will take you into the deep "Guoluo" (Naxi language: Hutong) and the quaint and elegant courtyard, so that you can gradually enter the painting and be fascinated by the melodious music of cucurbit silk. The direction of the current will also bring you back to the starting point, so that you can stay in the maze of ancient buildings and not get lost.
Take a photo with the dancing waterwheel on Yulong Bridge, and then follow the river into the city. The willows on the river bank are shaded, and the trees and flowers set each other off. Shops facing the street, smooth and shiny streets with five flowers and stones, dissolve into a long ancient rhyme and are very popular. Shops are paved with blue tiles and cornices, green or white, new or old, and occasionally you can see the walls of old buildings, revealing how many vicissitudes in prosperity. In the ancient city, or from this shop to that shop, choose exquisite national artworks; Or you can sit quietly by the winding river with blue waves, let your mood fly, savor a river, a street, a bridge, a house, or climb the Wan Gu Lou to overlook. The herringbone roof is wide or narrow, high or low, and it is intertwined to cover your sight.
In the hustle and bustle of the ancient city, I couldn't help but be curious, so in the round dance of Sifang Street, I followed the dancing crowd and stepped out the classical dance steps of Naxi nationality. Although I don't know the beat, I can still adapt to the dancer's mood. In the admiring eyes around me, I look like a Naxi woman, dancing lightly and intoxicated by this clever melody. I walked out of the dance floor and into the ancient Naxi residential buildings, and my thoughts were condensed in these elegant residential buildings. My brush is wobbly. In my opinion, the distance is always more beautiful.
Most Naxi folk houses in the ancient city conform to the river trend, inherit the characteristics of Ming and Qing dynasties, and blend the charm of Beijing quadrangles with the taste of Jiangnan water towns. Most courtyards face south or west to east for lighting, wind protection and protection from cold and heat. Because Lijiang is located in the center of the earthquake, all the houses are supported by wooden frames and adobe walls. The wall is built by putting the wooden frame first and then building the wall. These walls are made of red clay. The first layer of wall is made of clay and water, and then the second layer is superimposed on it after air drying, so the layered wall is slightly elastic and has good seismic function. There is a man's freehand painting hanging on the wall, the color is elegant or bright, which refers to the owner's economic situation. Elegance represents poverty, and brightness represents wealth; Some walls also have words to express the owner's occupation, such as "romantic love" indicating that the owner is a fisherman; "White House" refers to masons; "Purple gas comes from the east" means businessman. Is a nation that can sing and dance, so their yard is also a good place for them to dance. The huge courtyard can accommodate nearly 30 people to dance hand in hand.
In the houses near the canal, there is a small wooden bridge across the river in front of every household to connect with the street, which has also become a unique landscape of the ancient city. The density of bridges in the ancient city ranks first in China, and there are more than 350 bridges with different shapes, most of which were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and their styles are different, so it is impossible to state them one by one. However, there is a bridge with architectural characteristics, that is, Pingpo Bridge. In the ancient city, you will also see many bridges with flat slopes and no steps. It is said that they were designed in ancient times to facilitate caravan walking. Now, these ancient bridges, which originated from the "Ancient Silk Road" and the "Ancient Tea-Horse Road", have completed the commercial connection.
My brush still can't paint the beauty of the ancient city. Even if there is a river, a bridge and a house, I am deeply intoxicated and deeply attached. It is the unique charm of the ancient city that makes me say goodbye and want to come again. Then let the soul pass through, such as the emissary of the western regions, riding a horse, and then put on glory, beyond the reach of the whip. ...
Appreciation of the Classic Prose Describing Lijiang (Ⅱ)
Going to Lijiang for Healing is a book. I read it shortly after the college entrance examination, and the content of the book has gradually blurred. This book is like a travel magazine. The author set the place in Lijiang, and then wrote several real stories of ordinary people in Lijiang. I almost forgot the story, but I was particularly impressed by the title.
Some people say that there is a place where you will be deeply attached, nostalgic and want to die of old age, and that is Lijiang. Some people also say, don't go to Lijiang easily, because she will leave you behind, and everyone has a Lijiang dream in their hearts. I don't know when I began to like Lijiang. I recall carefully and trace back to the past, but I don't know when to start. I think it was a long time ago, and I kind of laughed at myself for being so infatuated.
I know a netizen who wrote an article entitled "Pu Shu, such a playboy man has loved you for ten years". Because of this article, we became good friends inexplicably. He also helped me a lot when I came to study in Kunming this time, because we both like words and music, and Pu Shu linked us with music. And Lijiang, I also want to say that such a playboy has loved you for many years.
Because of Lijiang, I am deeply proud that I am from Yunnan. Even though Lijiang is not my hometown, it is far from my hometown. The most incredible thing is that I have never been to Lijiang. As soon as those online friends hear that I am from Yunnan, they will ask about Lijiang. They said that if you start traveling, you should either put Lijiang at the first stop or at the last stop, and let me, a Yunnan native, be a tour guide. I readily agreed. I want to feel funny. Am I familiar with Lijiang? What makes me a tour guide? But I promised to be so determined, like a dead righteous man, there is no turning back. I don't know if this metaphor is appropriate.
My two roommates are from Lijiang. You see, I am so lucky. I can learn a lot about Lijiang. The main scenic spots around Lijiang are: Yulong Snow Mountain, which is known as a glacier park, Lugu Lake, Lashihai where migratory birds gather in wetlands, the ancient tea-horse road through virgin forests, Shangri-La, an open grassland, invincible Meili Snow Mountain, Qiangui Mountain with Danxia landform, Laojun Mountain with rich vegetation and ecology, and hiking in holy places. I will be given a tour guide when I go to Lijiang in the future, so that I can fulfill my promise to be a tour guide for those netizens who come to Lijiang.
I like this sentence very much: go to Lijiang to heal. I set up a group named Lijiang for healing, but I want those who have been to Lijiang and want to go to Lijiang but haven't, to join in the discussion, but I am the only group member so far, and I don't know why. I have no reason to pull people into the league, to heal, to heal what? Who wants to admit that he is sick? Everyone is pretending. I think I need to heal.
In this society with rapid development of civilization, we are not as good as we thought. We are all sick, very sick. The stress of life makes people sick. Different diseases have the same roots, unfortunate past events, memories eager to be buried, various pressures of work and study, emptiness and confusion after being busy, and loss and hesitation. ...
Lijiang accepted these patients, gave them a place to heal, let them put aside their troubles, all kinds of pressures, and those painful memories that were unbearable ... relax, enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, breathe the pure air without the hustle and bustle of the city, feel the unique charm of Dongba culture ... ignore the triviality and secularity of the past, put aside pressure, sad memories, loss and confusion, and enjoy healing here.
I will start my healing journey next holiday. Who wants to go to Lijiang to heal?
Appreciation of the Classic Prose Describing Lijiang (Ⅲ)
Small bridges and flowing water, weeping willows, and Naxi dwellings built on the mountain overlap continuously. An alley, a family, accidentally, entered the history of hundreds of years. Here, every bluestone and every stream flows with time and the past; Every small bridge, every courtyard, tells the footprints, tells the history; Every gate, every alley, is condensed with Qian Qian's endless grievances; Every elder, every workshop, is engraved with emotions and impermanence. ...
How can you travel without that gentle heart? Walking in Lijiang, the wet and soft mood gradually dispersed like fog and rain.
Lijiang in the daytime is elegant and simple. Tourists either drag their luggage to find a small courtyard to live in, or find a wooden chair to listen to the flowing water in the sun, or linger in the door-to-door handicraft shops to find a satisfactory handicraft, or sit in the Naxi Sihe small courtyard and have a pot of Yulong Snow Tea. Lijiang at night is enchanting and charming. At 8: 30, when night fell, the ancient town suddenly became active. My friends and I walked slowly along the street with the crowd. Drums and songs from time to time in the coffee shop, which can only accommodate four or five people, attracted many tourists to stop. As long as you love music, you can sing. This is an open place. I once read a sentence in a book: Lijiang is not for walking, but for getting lost. It really came true. We just looked at the excitement in the street shop and suddenly came to our senses, but we didn't know where we were and forgot the way when we came. After walking aimlessly for more than two hours, I finally found Sifang Street. Later, I heard that the architecture in Lijiang is regular. There is a stream in front of every house. The stream flows into the water truck. As long as you follow the current, you can find your way back.
Before I came, a friend told me that I must have an affair in Lijiang, and I was speechless. Bar street has a charm that combines simplicity and avant-garde, and it becomes more and more blurred with the deepening of the night. The red lanterns hanging in front of the bar are swaying in the breeze and reflected in the stream. I ordered a cup of "Love in Lijiang" from "One Meter of Sunshine" and sat by the window. From time to time, people who come to chat up and send flowers clink glasses with others, smile and watch pedestrians wander, even in noisy occasions, they can be so quiet. This is a matter of Lijiang, and it turned out to be just a calm feeling in my heart! It was midnight when I came out of the bar, and the busy market became quiet. I heard the sound of shoes walking on the bluestone road and the sound of roadside streams all the way. Night, quietly makes people heartache!
The next day, I went to the legendary ancient tea-horse road, rode my horse all the way up through Meiquan to the source of Lashihai, listened to the groom's loud songs and smelled the fragrance of wild roses all the way. When we finally went boating in Lashihai, it began to rain lightly. The groom asked me if I should wear a raincoat, but I refused. Let the rain wash away all the glitz and dust. I really want to live a fisherman's life on impulse with this boat, leaving early and returning late, which is infinitely comfortable.
On the last day, I went to Lijiang Toast Palace. In the 16th year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, gave Naxi Tusi Mu De, whose surname was Han, as the chief of Tusi yamen, and later generations respected him as King Mu, which lasted for 22 years and 470 years. Muwang built a wooden house in imitation of the Forbidden City, covering an area of 100 mu, with a large scale. Xu Xiake praised after the tour: "The beauty in the palace is for the king." Standing in the shogunate Taoist temple, Lijiang has a panoramic view and a magnificent feeling.
After three soft days in Lijiang, it was already late at night when I left. Looking from the plane, Lijiang is still brightly lit, still flowing quietly in the valley, soft. "Behind every lamp, there is a story, some have passed and some are still happening." Recently, I encountered a lot of troubles in my animal year, and suddenly I realized that it was my demons not to get it. Many people are not as important as they think, or they have not lost. I am stronger and more open-minded than I thought, because as long as I have a dream, I have a sense of security wherever I go! I wish those who have accompanied me happiness and peace!
This is what Lijiang inspired me! Tired heart found shelter here!
