An oriental castle in the Ming and Qing dynasties in Xiangfu, the imperial city, tells the legendary life of an imperial teacher; The house of a cultural giant is full of vicissitudes of a family.
Unveil the mystery of the imperial capital's prime minister's office and drift with the tide on the mountains and buildings; It is simple and solemn, vigorous and solid; First people are shocked, then they are awed. Today, follow me into this oriental castle and give you a complete cross-world experience.
Look: the opening ceremony of the Imperial Capital.
Why the imperial city is called "the imperial city" is inextricably linked with Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi stayed here twice and has the reputation of "Imperial City". And why did Emperor Kangxi come here? This must start with the owner of this mansion, Chen Tingjing. Chen Tingjing was the teacher of Emperor Kangxi, who assisted him for more than half a century and even wrote the famous Kangxi Dictionary. Emperor Kangxi stayed here twice during his six southern expeditions, although the journey was long and difficult, and wrote a plaque of "Wu Ting Mountain Village" as a gift to the Chen family.
Now, in front of the Xiangfu Gate of the Imperial City, there is a daily Kaesong performance, with the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty as the background and Chen Tingjing, the protagonist of Xiangfu, as the prototype, dressed up to welcome Emperor Kangxi into the city. Those pictures that only appear in film and television dramas really appear in front of me at the moment. It is not a picture in a history book or a parody in a film and television city, but after years of circulation, people and events of that year can still be reproduced in the true place of history.
Listen: The Eight Tones of Prime Minister's Prosperity
We heard his voice before we met him. The sonorous eight tones of the prosperous times hover over the Prime Minister's House, full of passion and passion. Several young men dressed in red robes and golden vests, holding instruments such as sheng, gong, suona, kouzi drum, wooden special, tribal tiger and bangzi, swayed with the music rhythm while playing, igniting the climax of the audience. There are both high percussion and delicate folk music in the performance. "Eight Tones of Prosperity" is a classic of folk music and a quintessence of Chinese culture. It is an elegant and hearty audio-visual feast.
I remembered last year's movie "A Hundred Birds at the Phoenix". In that era of social change and impetuous people, it was so difficult to inherit the skills of our ancestors. The same is true of the "Eight Music Concerts". In Shanxi folk, Bayinhui once appeared in various celebrations and important occasions, but now it is less and less. To tell the truth, I was very moved to see these boys performing with great emotion and hard work on the stage. These people who are younger than me, but study hard and practice hard, are doing an amazing thing-they are spreading, inheriting and inheriting this national intangible cultural heritage with a history of more than 700 years.
Tour: the first house in the north
Walking in this oriental castle, you often feel lost. Going up and down the stairs leads to the interconnected courtyards, which is also the mystery and interest of oriental architecture. A narrow alley, turning a corner, may be an elegant temple; Some simple small doors may be a shortcut to the secret garden. This luxurious mansion that arrived in China illustrates the artistic beauty of oriental architecture. Four hundred years of wind and rain didn't change her appearance that day. Time carved a series of knife marks on her, but she could only leave quietly.
After seeing the Oriental Castle, tasting the Xiangfu family banquet and listening to the Eight Tones of Prosperity, Jiunvxian Lake still lacks an intimate experience with nature. Drive to Jiunvxian Lake, which is 3 kilometers away from Huangcheng Xiangfu/KLOC-0. In this hot summer afternoon, let's escape from summer and touch immortality once! Jiunvxian Lake is a part of the ecological and cultural tourist area of the imperial city Xiangfu. This long and clear lake looms large in the Qinhe Gorge of Taihang Mountain.
Seen from a distance from the top of the mountain, the banks of the mountain are Qingfeng Gorge, with clear water in the middle, which is an excellent choice for avoiding the world. Taking the slide down the mountain not only saves physical strength, but also experiences a little excitement. The thoughtful staff will wrap the mat and put on gloves for you, so you don't have to worry about getting dirty and not getting dressed. It's just that the rest is on your own, and the speed is completely controlled by yourself. You can speed up and down at will, but if a group of friends start together, be careful of rear-end collision!
The cruise ship stopped at the first pier, climbed the steps and boarded the nine girls Sendai. Sendai, nine girls, originally 70 meters high, narrow down and rich up. It's like a huge stone washed up from the water. It's natural. Just because of the change of years and the rise of water level, we can only see Sendai, which is more than 20 meters high on the water. This is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in the ancient city of Yangcheng, which was once frequented by literati.
Return to the cruise ship and continue to visit Jiunvxian Lake. The deeper you enter the lake, the more dangerous the cliffs on both sides, and the peaks are green. The cruise ship arrived at the second land scenic spot, where cliffs hang down, steep cliffs face each other, and a rickety glass bridge flies in the air. Adventure-loving friends can climb rocks, fly cables and cross the glass bridge here.
A canoe, floating in Jiunvxian Lake, is full of water and blue waves in front of you, with a magical legend in your ear and a cool breeze beside you. Twilight came quietly, and we left quietly, as if we had never lived in the future.
Grandpa Mao of Xiangfu Manor said that the countryside is a vast world.
This sentence has been fully proved in Xiangfu Manor in Huangcheng Village. There are flowers and fruits everywhere, and the underground turns to the ground, and the black turns green. There is not only the color of summer, but also the taste of summer, so you can take a summer health trip. Xiangfu Manor is also a part of Xiangfu Eco-cultural Tourism Zone in Huangcheng, which was transformed from the former site of Chen Manor. From the Imperial City Xiangfu to Xiangfu Manor, you can take the scenic spot battery car or small train, which takes 10 minutes.

About food
1, food recommendation: Xiangfu family banquet, August 8th banquet.
① Xiangfu Family Banquet
Xiangfu family banquet is a family banquet that Chen Tingjing, the owner of Xiangfu, tasted for Emperor Kangxi. The dining method of separate meals is adopted, and the utensils of the Qing court style are selected. Each dish is divided into small portions and is self-contained, low-key and luxurious, with good color, fragrance and taste.
Since it's a family dinner, Shanxi specialties are inevitable. Walnut kernel, Yangcheng roasted liver and oat noodle are all local specialties.
② Eight Eight Banquets
In addition to the Xiangfu family banquet, there is also a local banquet that is the first choice for banquets for VIPs, birthdays, marriages between men and women, and gatherings of friends-the August 8 banquet. The banquet on August 8th included eight cold dishes and eight (sixteen) hot dishes. Stewed chicken, braised fish, oily meat and jujube steamed buns are all authentic Shanxi dishes.
③ Introduction of special dishes
Yangcheng roast liver: it is made of seven pieces of pork liver and three seasonings, chopped and mixed well. It's delicious and refreshing. Especially those who like to drink, eat more pig liver to protect them.
Walnut kernel: Actually, walnut kernel is not made of walnuts. It is made of seven-point lean pork and three-point fat pork by frying and steaming, and looks like walnuts.
Jujube buns: Xiangfu jujube buns are tender, sweet and delicious, and are one of the representatives of Shanxi pasta.
The traditional flavor of the palace. Emperor Kangxi even claimed that the chicken was delicious after eating it in the palace. Since then, this dish has become the imperial cuisine of the imperial court.
