How to write about Zaozi Lane?

Before I started writing, I remembered a sentence from "The Analects of Confucius" that said, "Young man, why don't you imitate your husband's poetry! Poems can be inspired, observed, and complained about: those who are near are my father, those who are far are my king, and I know the names of plants, trees, birds, and beasts."

" Going to Zaozi Lane, which is only a hundred meters long, there are lush vegetation and numerous Chinese medicine shops. It is more like walking through the pages of "Compendium of Materia Medica" than "The Book of Songs".

This is a street with the theme of traditional Chinese medicine. It is also a street full of the style of the Republic of China, which is very suitable for taking pictures while wearing cheongsam.

The picture comes from Junjun Street of Grass and Trees. When I came to the Kuanzhai Alley, crossed Xi'an North Road, and stepped on the sidewalk leading to Zaozi Lane, I lowered my head and discovered that there were dandelions sprayed with white paint scattered across the lines on the sidewalk.

There are Chinese herbal medicine names such as red and blue flowers, dendrobium, etc. When you look up, you can see the huge archway of Zaozi Lane, with traffic and people passing downstairs.

There is a whole three-dimensional wall painting next to the building next to the archway. The alley is deep, and two graceful women are walking from the end, which is very "Rain Alley" style.

It happened that it started to rain not long after we arrived here, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

Picture from Junjun On weekdays, this place is very lively, and this three-dimensional wall painting is the best place to take photos of the Republic of China style.

When those sisters and maids put on their cheongsams and stood here, the whole street came alive.

It's like traveling through a time tunnel and dreaming back to the Republic of China in an instant.

You will see greenery all over the street here, including ginkgo, hibiscus, petunia, pearl acacia, Datura grandiflora, juniper... many of them are both ornamental plants and can be used as medicine.

There are more traditional Chinese medicine stores here than near the hospital, and there is also a branch campus of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Across the large iron gate, someone was pushing a cart selling buns, steamed buns, flower rolls and other food that had not been sold out in the cafeteria. There was a price list for you to choose from.

Many people came to buy it on electric scooters, motorcycles, and cars, and it looked very delicious.

The students inside also receive express delivery through the large iron gate. Small express delivery passes through the cracks in the fence, longer and flatter ones are inserted under the gate, and larger ones need to be passed on tiptoe from the top of the iron gate.

This way of receiving express delivery will definitely become a code word for their alumni meetings many years later.

Pedestrians on a Rainy Day Suddenly a gust of wind picked up and it started raining in Zaozi Lane.

Residents of the residential buildings on both sides stretched out their heads to see the rain, then quickly retracted their heads.

The people playing cards at the gate of the community were unmoved and continued to play cards. The aunt sweeping the floor put on a raincoat and a pointed hat and continued sweeping the floor. There were few pedestrians on the road, but the number of people coming to buy steamed buns and steamed buns continued unabated.

For Chengdu people, eating really comes first.

I like to see people crossing the sidewalk on rainy days, one person walking in a hurry, two people supporting each other, children jumping, young people brisk, old people looking forward and backward... The rain is slow, the wind is rising,

The grass and trees danced wildly, mixed with the shouts of shop assistants along the street, "It's raining, turn off the light boxes outside, hurry up." The students of Zaozi Lane Senior Vocational High School were out of class, and their young faces were more mature than those washed by the rain.

The hibiscus flowers are still bright.

Listening to them discuss their homework and complain about the teacher, it feels like I have returned to my student days, but I feel that the world is at a loss.

The three-wheeled electric car was carrying people swaying by. The master said to the passengers, "This street is so beautiful and spacious now. It is much better than before." It seems that he comes here often, or he may be a resident of the street.

I used to think that old streets did not need to be renovated, because it was often impossible to restore the old streets, but to put them in uniform new clothes and embellish them with a few ancient symbols.

But if you change your life in the past, you can never go back, it's like a separation between life and death, so seeing the image of people moving in the Three Gorges is heartbreaking.

But we will eventually go out and embrace the new life with strength, and unexpectedly find that the new life is also quite fragrant.

Food surrounds Zaozi Lane. There is not much food along the street. Most of them are ordinary food such as ice powder, drinks, noodles, etc. However, it is next to the famous Xi'an Road and Kuanzhai Alley. Next to Kuanzhai Alley, there are many tourists and shops.

.

The man who sells fruit on the bridge said, "Li's Rabbit Head is still delicious." Li's Rabbit Head Chuan Chuan is an old Internet celebrity on Xi'an Road. Both locals and outsiders are keen to check in here.

Xiaojun liver skewers and quack duck skulls from the Fifth Steel Factory all over Chengdu also have a place here. Eat Chengdu Spicy Fish Hotpot at the intersection of Xi'an Middle Road and Zaozi Lane. Tasty grilled fish is also available along the street. Laodao Lao Hot Pot and Tomato

They are relatively close together, so if you wander along this road, you will never have to worry about finding something to eat.

Coming to Zaozi Lane is not only a journey of searching for taste, but also a journey of pursuing the culture of traditional Chinese medicine. Overall, it is also a street that makes me feel unlearned and unskilled.
