Through watching the program, I learned that Jianshui is an ancient city and well protected. This ancient city is called Lin 'an.
There are many ancient wells in the city, especially Ximen Osaka well. Tofu made from well water is particularly delicious.
Jianshui also owns the only existing meter gauge train in China. By taking the meter-gauge train, you can visit the beautiful scenery outside Jianshui and feel the station with French architectural style in the last century. This meter-gauge railway can go directly from Jianshui to Bise Village in Mengzi, where Xiaogang Feng filmed Fanghua.
Let's talk about how to build water first. Kunming has direct trains and buses to Jianshui, and the traffic is very convenient. I went from Fuxian Lake. I fell in love with Jianshui when I first arrived there. It smells like the old city, but it doesn't have much commercial flavor.
The gate named Little Tiananmen Square is very spectacular, and the night view at night is also very beautiful.
This ancient city built in the Tang Dynasty is called "Ancient Architecture Museum" and "Folk House Museum". But what I can't forget most is Jianshui's traditional folk delicious steamed chicken, roasted tofu and lion cake.
Hotels in the ancient city are also very distinctive. The room I lived in was antique and decorated in a retro way. I suddenly returned to the ancient times.
An interesting thing happened the day I first arrived at Jianshui.
When I arrived at Jianshui, I went out to eat at night and came to a snack bar opposite the city gate. It said Jianshui Tofu, so I went in. Jianshui's old tofu is very famous in the raiders.
When I entered the door, I saw a group of people cooking old tofu around the stove. I asked the waiter how much tofu was, 50 cents each. I said 10. I thought she would pack it for me to take away. I didn't expect the old man by the fireside to give me a small dish of dip and let me sit down.
I sat by the fire and ate baked tofu with them, but these people didn't know each other. The old man is the boss, baking tofu for everyone present.
These people are all locals. The couple sitting next to me asked me where I came from. I wanted to say that I came from Xinjiang, but later I thought my accent was wrong. I said I came from Jilin. The couple enthusiastically introduced me to Jianshui's scenic spots and special food.
At this time, the cold dish ordered by the guy opposite came up. My big brother next to me said, try our specialty, and you give him one, a grass bud. They don't know each other, so I am embarrassed. Those people are very enthusiastic to let me have a try. It's still delicious. It looks like an ivory.
The husband and wife said that the people here are very hospitable, and you will realize it slowly. At this moment, I suddenly found that I forgot to eat some tofu. The husband and wife said that the old man remembered it for you. Did you see the corn kernels in the small plate in front of him? You eat one, he puts one in. This is a divine operation. I didn't even notice it.
Walking in the town at night, there are few vehicles and pedestrians, and the lights are dim and quiet. ...
Jianshui Roasted Tofu, also known as Lin 'an Tofu, is a traditional China dish in Jianshui County.
Originated from the local garrison in Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Jianshui Tofu in Lin 'an was famous all over Chengnan Township, Yunnan Province. Tofu stalls in Shuicheng street, food market, night market and scenic spots are used to attract people to live in Xi 'an, which has become a beautiful scenery of the ancient city and a bright spot to attract tourists.
This is a spoon powder shop that a local friend took me to. I can't think of going to China at the moment. This shop is very small. I can't see that this is a very famous shop. Name: spoon powder old shop. There are two kinds of map search. This is the ancient city store.
There is also the heat of burning tofu and charcoal fire in the store, which makes tofu expand rapidly, waiting for both sides to be brown and stained with sauce, and happiness arises spontaneously. It's interesting to eat a piece of tofu and throw in a corn and count it this way.
When the person who bakes tofu leaves the table, he will buckle the tofu with the pot cover. When he comes back, tofu will be cooked. One is to speed up the baking of tofu, and the other is that he is not here. If someone eats tofu, no one will count it.
The staple food in the shop is spoon powder and rice noodles, boiled hot or cold. A friend said that it was made of colander and became a strip, so it was called spoon powder.
His delicious food is tofu, stinky tofu, wrapped tofu and dried tofu, all of which are the same. Eat a piece and remember a corn kernel. Fifty cents each. His tofu feels a little small, but it tastes ok.
There is also ice powder here, which is delicious for relieving summer heat. It is best to eat a small bowl of ice powder in Jianshui.
Jianshui's purple pottery is also famous. Jianshui's purple pottery is one of the four famous pottery in China, which is as famous as Yixing pottery in Jiangsu, Shiwan pottery in Guangdong and Rongchang pottery in Sichuan. Of course, the price is not cheap.
Purple pottery teapot
Jianshui purple pottery is called purple pottery instead of purple sand pottery, and mud is the most essential difference.
After filtration, the mud is repeatedly stirred and washed for five or six times, and then naturally condenses into mud in a breathable and closed state. The whole process takes about 20 days, when the mud is as greasy as grease.
After that, you have to draw a blank. When drawing a blank, "the heart should be straight, the eyes should be accurate, and the hands should be steady." Only in this way can we create real purple pottery works.
Jianshui people make many things with purple pottery.
"Dragon Kiln" is the name people call the earth kiln for firing purple pottery. Dragon kilns are generally built on a hillside with a slope of about 30, with the kiln head facing down and the kiln tail facing up. It can be hundreds of meters long and tens of meters short, and looks like a dragon falling from the sky.
The history of Jianshui Longyao can be traced back to the end of Song Dynasty. Nowadays, people usually use modern gasification kiln, and the yield can reach above 95%. However, the finished product rate of dragon kiln usually does not exceed 70%.
However, the Dragon Kiln has its charm. When the temperature of the kiln chamber in the Dragon Kiln reaches 1200℃, the purple pottery will have a strange kiln change, or it will be black, crimson or reddish purple, and it will have an unexpected magical color. Jianshui pottery after kiln transformation is as mysterious as a cloud.
It is said that there are 65,438+028 ancient wells in Jianshui, but the most famous one is definitely Dabanjing outside the West Gate, a China on the tip of the tongue, which has made this ancient well famous for more than 600 years.
This morning, I went to Osaka. When I went, there were not many people fetching water. I took a bucket of water and took a few sips. It's a little sour and sweet, and it has a strange taste. This well is very big and the water is very clear.
The water in each well is different, and the best way to make tofu is Ximenjing.
Many ancient wells in Jianshui have written records. The oldest well is the Liquan outside the East Gate. This well has a history of over 700 years. Liquan's well site is about 60 cm high, circular and 90 cm in diameter. A semicircle well circle is chiseled with two huge stones, and the well circle is closed into a cylinder. Cut a groove at the joint and pour the molten pig iron into the lock, which is very firm. It can be seen that Jianshui people love it.
The most famous is Dabanjing, also known as Puboquan.
This is the largest well in the urban area, with a round wellhead and a diameter of more than 3 meters. There is a water temple by the well. Dabanjing well water is clear and soft. It is said that it is used to make tea, and it tastes very sweet. Used to make tofu, tender and delicious. Jianshui's famous Ximen tofu is made of this kind of water.
If you guard a well, you can live all your life.
Besides, there are Longjing, Hongjing, Zhuge Well, Yong Lian and Yongning wells in Jianshui Ancient City. Among them, there are single well, double well, triple well and quadruple well, which are rarely seen in other places.
Take the steps of Shangbanjing, which is Banjing Tofu Workshop. Tofu is being made here, and China on the Tip of the Tongue is also popular. Tofu made here is made from water in a well, so it is very delicious.
Disposable lunch box, including soybean milk, tofu, tofu skin, training, five yuan buffet, help yourself, soybean milk is delicious, here is for eating, and next door is busy making tofu, which I took in the video, with a strong bean flavor.
This place should not be called Jianshui ancient city, but tofu ancient city. The workers are busy making tofu every day.
This afternoon, I arrived at the capital of Honghe Prefecture. Mengzi, Mengzi and Jianshui have different styles, good environment, good greening and few people. If I didn't come, I really didn't know there were so many ethnic tourist attractions in Yunnan. In the past, I only knew Dali and Lijiang. In fact, southern Yunnan is not bad. Be sure to come and see it sometime.
