Changsha, also known as Xingsha or Xingcheng, has nothing to play without snacks.
Many people think that Changsha is called "Star City" because many stars patronize it, hence its name. Actually, from my point of view, I'm not sure. At any time, understanding the same thing has its merits. After all, people once thought that the sun revolved around the earth.
Historically, a star city came from 28 stars in the sky. Zhang Qian, a native of the Tang Dynasty, said in the Monument to Changsha, "Astronomical Changsha is one star, on the side of four stars. The upper is Chen Xiang and the lower is the county. "
Chenxiang refers to Changsha Star and County, and refers to Changsha County.
When I first arrived in Changsha, I was caught in a rainstorm.
As a subtropical city, Changsha shows its extraordinary boredom. A friend once joked that walking in Changsha in summer feels like a live shrimp.
When we stepped into the scope of Changsha, faced with the hot flashes of transpiration, I began to agree with my friend's metaphor, _ prawn, which is quite appropriate.
So, we walked into the city with hot and humid weather on the streets full of restaurants and life.
Mawangdui | Exquisite and long-lasting, life is long-lasting.
As I said before, museums record the past of a city or even a region. Seeing all kinds of things in museums, you can learn about the past lives of a city.
Inside the Hunan Provincial Museum
As the highlight of Hunan Expo, Mawangdui site is not only a Han tomb, but its content is neither as magnificent as that of Xuzhou Han tomb nor as magnificent as that of Houhou tomb in the sea. On the contrary, it is full of fireworks of exquisite life.
This tomb was mistakenly called "Mawangdui" because it was mistaken for the tomb of Ma Yin, the king of Chu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Although it was later discovered that the owner of the tomb was Li Cang and his wife Xin Zhui who followed Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty, they made a mistake and still shouted their old names.
Licang family, as a family that loves life, their tombs also firmly adhere to this concept.
The fresh degree, origin and growth cycle of the edible bone in the tomb and the brochure in the tomb are clearly annotated.
Their insatiable appetite for food is their constant pursuit.
The progress of science and technology has not changed the quality of life of the upper class much. In ancient times, the emperor would not suffer from extreme heat in summer, because there was a special ice room for ice cubes to cool down. The refrigerator that people are proud of today is not a rare thing in ancient times. It was just that there was no electricity at that time.
From the cultural relics unearthed in the tombs, it can be seen that in terms of diet, Li Cang inherited the unremitting pursuit of food from the south. From spicy spices to pots and pans, everything is available. Even some recipes and collocations are so big that people can't help but marvel.

Similarly, life needs incense and fine clothes to build.
Mawangdui district chaos
As a prototype version of all the Hanfu clothes now on the market, this seemingly broken antique represents the most cutting-edge fashion at that time.
Unlike people's consistent thinking, making such a melody consumes a lot of fabrics. Today, compared with western-style tailoring, it is still a waste. Combined with the productivity and exquisite materials at that time, it is obvious that this is a Hermes in Hermes.
Some incense materials
Smelly, is always the enemy of exquisite life. The Li Cang family also knows the concept of using incense.
Most of the spices that can be seen on the market now are basically trafficked from the distant Middle East after the opening of the Silk Road, in exchange for our tea and porcelain.
At that time, Li Cang was a person in the period of Emperor Gaozu, and he did not enjoy the convenience brought by the Silk Road after Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Even so, in order to pursue an exquisite life, he collected all the incense materials available in the market and built a fragrant house.
Although the life of Li Cangyi's family could not represent the living conditions in Changsha at that time, this pursuit of exquisite life was bound to have an upward effect.
Because the life of the upper class is always the extreme of social life in a certain era.
Orange Island | Personally, I'm curious about this place.
As an alluvial island, Juzizhou was formed in the Western Jin Dynasty. However, when it became famous, it still originated from Mao Zedong's Qinyuanchun Changsha. An ordinary Jiang Xinzhou is famous all over the world because of one person's words, which is indeed the most intuitive cultural phenomenon.
A farmer's son, with indestructible faith, assembled a group of like-minded young people and brought a vast and ancient country into a new era.
I have to say that such a strong and fierce attitude is really commendable. Every time I read his sentence, "Ask the boundless earth, who is in charge of ups and downs?" When I was young, I couldn't help thinking that he stood in Orange Island and denounced Fang Qiu's youth.
Mao Zedong statue in Orange Island.
But when I faced his statue, I inexplicably felt an indelible sadness from his eyes. Tightly frowning brows, pursed lips, faintly looking at the distance. The fierce river wind blows fiercely at everyone on the mainland, but no matter how big the wind is, it can't excite his frozen hair.
The great man has passed away, and the country has its own successor.
Roundabout runway
Tourists in twos and threes, the runway around the island, constitute the daily portrayal of Orange Island scenic spot today.
Tourists pose for photos with statues, selfie sticks stand high in the wind, and vendors selling stinky tofu and sugar and oil in the distance shout loudly. Against the background of long-distance runners who run with the wind from time to time, all this has brought Jiang Xinzhou into a track full of life.
If in the museum, we see fireworks a long time ago, then in Jiang Xinzhou, we see fresh days now.
