The place to go this time is an ancient town with romantic feelings-Anfeng Ancient Town.
New and old push each other, and every day will not be delayed! Time is telling the vicissitudes of urban history and witnessing the rapid development of this land!
Indulge in the gentle river, the quiet ancient town time, telling the unchanging feelings and persistence for thousands of years, and traveling all over the world. My inner peace is my hometown.
Anfeng is a small town with a long history of more than 2000 years. This is a place where we can talk with history through time and space. If you plan to come to Laifeng Ancient Town, you must go to these places ~
Gunan steet
Gu 'nan Street is the best preserved part of Anfeng's "Qili Long Street". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Qili Long Street was a typical commercial street, and merchants from all directions gathered. There are thousands of large and small pavements, and century-old shops abound.
Baoshi building
The whole structure is a typical Huizhou wooden frame structure, but the architectural style of each entrance is different. In particular, the building of the guild hall is the most Huizhou style and elegant. Exquisite and elegant wood carvings and dense knife work not only show the wealth of large families, but also show the good cultural heritage of Huizhou merchants.
Zheng Banqiao and Dabei Temple
Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, became a scholar at the age of 20, but his family came down and his life was difficult. At the age of 36 (1728), he went to Xinghua to avoid debt and study. As Anfeng Dabei 'an received the old monk Fashu to learn Buddhism from the abbot of Tianning Temple, he invited Zheng Banqiao to Laian Feng to enjoy it. The two exchanged ideas while drinking tea, so that they later became bosom friends.
Ge former residence
Mr. Ge has outstanding talent and extraordinary expressive ability in the art of traditional Chinese painting, and was once praised by Guo Moruo as "a grass dam is rare today". Some experts commented that the famous horse painter in China in the 20th century was "Beige", and Mr. Jiang was called a master.
Salt department
Salt department
This is an antique ancient yamen where salt officials handle disputes and use sand tables to simulate the ancient process of burning salt. At that time, the salt tax in Dongtai was very heavy, accounting for 47% of Huaibei and 30% of the whole country. Therefore, there is a saying that "two Huai salts are given to the world, and Dongtai taxes two Huai".
The provincial and municipal cultural protection units such as Baolou, Wu Ancestral Hall, Fan Zhongyan Theme Pavilion, Reading Office and Ge's former residence in the block show the profound cultural heritage of the ancient town. These places have exquisite diamond carvings, wood carvings and exquisite architectural layout. The development here and the wisdom of the ancients also fascinated me. They also jointly gave the best certification to the rich salt merchant culture.
The restoration and protection of Anfeng ancient street retains historical memory and highlights the cultural characteristics of homesickness. Professor Cao Erjie, 86, is a descendant of Cao Family Courtyard, a salt merchant in Anfeng Salt Field. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he returned from Beijing to his hometown after 60 years' absence, and said with emotion, "Hometown people really have a vision. We should protect the ancient street Gu Xiang and let the wanderers find their way home."
food
fish soup noodles
Fish noodle soup is made of wild crucian carp, eel bone, pig bone and other raw materials, which has the characteristics of high protein, low fat and rich in active calcium and various amino acids. After eating, it does not get angry or dry mouth, and is rich in nutrition, which conforms to the dietary health pursued by contemporary people. People often say that "eating a bowl of fish noodle soup is better than longevity"
Pop melon
Pop melon is named after its thin skin and high sweetness, and it will crack when touched with a knife. This kind of melon is also easy to crack, which is not convenient for long-distance transportation and storage, and can only be tasted on the spot.
Bendajie Cao Luobing
The whole old street is full of the smell of grass-radish cakes, which are sweet and salty, and are the sesame cakes reported by CCTV. When there are many people to catch up with, the queue must be long.
Jujube broad bean
Anfeng Xiazao Village is a unique specialty. It was listed as a "tribute" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
This is a kind of food unique to small towns, and its taste is natural. Of course, Anfeng's food doesn't stop there. You can also find a farmhouse, which is authentic food. The seafood here is also a must. You can still try more when you have a chance.
Walking into the ancient town of Anfeng seems to have crossed time and space and been in the quaint Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In this small town far from the palace, people have enjoyed a quiet life for generations. Although they lack luxury, they are comfortable.
If it weren't for worldly things, I really want to buy a small room here, sit with a close friend for tea and talk about life with a smile every day.
Anfeng, a Millennium historical and cultural town.
