The ancient city of Anju, although it is only less than a hundred kilometers away, I have never visited it.
While driving on the road, I heard the navigation introduction that this ancient city, which was built in the Sui Dynasty, is quite large, but I was also suspicious because the four ancient cities in China (Lijiang Ancient City, Huizhou Ancient City, Pingyao Ancient City, Langzhong Ancient City) in my memory are all places already visited.
After parking, I couldn’t help but flip through my phone, and I didn’t know which three ancient cities were in front of Anju Ancient City, but I couldn’t help but smile at such a statement.
From the highway exit to the parking lot, Gu Yun did not feel much, but felt that the Tongliang government invested a lot in this.
Several kilometers of the scenic spot are all antique buildings funded by the government, as well as a new tourist service center that has not been opened due to the decrease in the number of tourists due to the epidemic, but compared with the few tourists, it also feels very indifferent.
Entering the ancient city, the rare mountain city without the scorching sun in July has increased the interest in playing. It is slightly different from the southeast and northwest gates of the general ancient city. Every city gate in Anju is given its own name. For example, the south gate is called Xinghui Gate , because the terrain is the best. Looking at the moon on the gate tower, you can see that the moon is as silver and white as jade, and the stars around the moon are shining in all directions.
The East Gate, called Yinfeng Gate , is one of the best-preserved stone gates of the Ming Dynasty. There used to be a natural landscape “Flying Phoenix and Yuling” around the city gate. The ancients believed that this mountain and this scene condensed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so the east gate was changed to Yinfeng Gate. These inadvertent little elegance still moved me quite a bit.
Walking all the way, there are not many original features preserved in the ancient town, but the whole is still a relaxed attitude.
After staying in the city made of reinforced concrete for a long time, even the wind is irritating, I just feel oppressed and breathless, but the wind I feel sitting on the edge of the ancient city of Fu River is light and fluttering, which is in line with Su Dongpo’s sentence ” Only the breeze on the river, and the bright moon in the mountains, the ear hears it, and the eye meets it, it becomes a color, there is no restraint in taking it, and it is inexhaustible. It is the creator’s endless treasure.” The best things are free .
The bluestone-paved path has a special channel running through it, and there are scattered shops selling chicken feet, glutinous rice cakes, cold rice dumplings, and old books. Yelling just looked at you with a smile.
The moss on the stone steps leading to the Fire Temple does not know how many years it has grown. There are more than a dozen households inside the gate of the Fire Temple. Like many ancient buildings that I have seen before, these buildings are located in a special The period was bought by the residents, and now it is caught in the dilemma of protection and indulgence.
In the afternoon, the local indigenous people are often chatting, drinking tea and playing mahjong, but they are not noisy. I remember someone said that the rules of the game of mahjong are to sort out the rules in the chaos, how can the process of sorting out the rules be noisy, probably this is the reason.
In summer, living in peace, blowing the wind by the river, the river wind brings a burst of cooking fragrance along the way; the children are playing water fights, and the sound of mahjong is more agile than the four old-fashioned hands that are rubbing mahjong; The food store always let me try it, so when I walked around the old street, I filled my stomach with fragrant and numb chicken feet with spicy shell, and also filled with hot and glutinous glutinous rice cakes, and there were more than ten yuan apiece. Supports imported Russian ice cream (also “ice cream assassin”). Such a lively firework atmosphere is a fire that cannot be mastered in spring, autumn and winter.
Passing by a Liu Xue’an Memorial Hall, it was empty but very attractive to me, so I explored to have a look.
As soon as I entered the door, what caught my eye was Li Lanqing ‘s sketch portrait and inscription for Liu Xue’an. Only then did I know that Li Lanqing, who came out of the car factory, has deep musical attainments. ·Art · Life”, “Li Lanqing’s Chinese Modern Music Pen Talks”, he has also taught himself seal cutting since he was 71 years old, and has successively created seal cutting art works with distinctive characteristics of the times and rich cultural connotations – more than 400 seals, which are among the highest in China. Schools and cultural institutions have held more than 20 seal cutting art exhibitions, and authored “The Original Seal Cutting So Interesting” and “Li Lanqing’s Collection of Seal Cutting Art in Russia Touring Exhibition”.
The book is back to Liu Xue’an. As a musician and composer, the name may be a little unfamiliar, but when it comes to his works, you should be able to understand it in seconds. In “The Ballad of the Great Wall”, “Outside the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles is the hometown of sorghum, fertilizer, soybeans, gold, and less disaster.”
And when I learned that the “Sound of Extravagance”, “When Will You Come Again” was actually written by Liu Xue’an, I sighed that a powerful musician can really control any style of music.
The story of Tongliang, a composer from Tongliang who only learned Kunqu Opera in his spare time when he was a child, and only came into professional music education when he grew up, can be described as twists and turns. If you are interested, you can do your homework by yourself.
Anju is not a well-preserved ancient town, nor does it have a special charm, but what left a deep impression on me is that the products sold in the ancient town are all cheap, and the mineral water is still one yuan per bottle. Local cultural tourism and market supervision The department is still working hard.
If you have a spare time next time, you are willing to come and see it again. One is that the scale is quite large and there are places such as Bo Lun Temple that have not been visited this time, and the other is that the local consumption has left a good impression.
