when it comes to ancient towns, many people will say, Wuzhen in Zhejiang, Qibao in Shanghai, and so on. There is also a very famous Wuyuan, which may be called the most beautiful ancient town in China. There is no one. There is also a Jingdezhen next to Wuyuan, which is also an ancient town with thousands of years of culture. However, after thousands of years of baptism, it belongs to an ordinary city suitable for local people to live in, and there is no smell of the ancient town in the city. To really explore the ancient town, we have to go to the outer suburbs to find Yaoli, a relatively well-preserved town in today's materialistic era.
it takes nearly 8 minutes to drive from the center of Jingdezhen, and you can see the appearance of Yaoli ancient town. After all, it belongs to a tourist attraction, but the appearance has cost a lot of money to build a tourist distribution center and a tourist service office. It must be necessary to vigorously develop tourism.
Walking into the ancient town, small buildings with local characteristics are neatly built on both sides. Like all ancient towns in other areas, there are many merchants, restaurants, accommodations, specialties and toys in the small building, but because they belong to Jingdezhen, they still sell the same, porcelain. After passing the gate, there is a large open space. When it was built, I probably didn't know the purpose of this open space, or I was afraid that it would affect the local residents' roads, so I just repaired the land and didn't change much, so I can see chickens running freely by local residents. Envy ah, accustomed to the noise, busyness and prosperity in the city, this situation is rare.
? After walking so much, I really found that there is no ticket booth. Don't you need tickets to visit here? With questions, keep going inside. It's just time to catch up with the meal. I want to eat some local food. There are two kinds of local specialty snacks, Suanshuiba and Bitter Tofu. The two kinds of food are made in a similar way, but the taste and taste are not the same. Alkaline rice cake is a kind of military grain made of rice flour, which is difficult to preserve when marching and fighting during the Anti-Japanese War. After grinding rice, it is fermented with alkaline water, and then heated and dehydrated at high temperature, the food is easy to preserve and carry, but after this treatment, the food will be particularly heavy, so it can be boiled when eating. Well, I guess this is the way to eat during the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, the conditions were difficult, there were few cookers, and there was a lack of oil and salt. This was made of rice, and it was cooked and eaten as a staple food to supplement physical strength. Modern humans don't eat it like this any more. In the local area, blocks of soda water cake are scraped into small pieces with a special wooden spatula, which is not too neat or messy. It doesn't matter if you add green vegetables and eggs, oil and salt, and stir fry over high fire. The taste is light and sweet, but the taste of soda water cake is very soft, but it doesn't stick to your teeth. After eating this plate, you can eat both staple food and vegetables, which is convenient and relaxed.
? I just wanted to taste these local delicacies, so I found a small shop with a very quiet environment. The boss is a family of four. After 8s, the courtyard at home really envied us who live in the city. We can grow vegetables, raise fish and put rocking chairs. Chatting with the boss, I learned that their courtyard is the largest of all the local families and it is also very powerful. The architectural style of the main building is very Huizhou-style, with a small attic more than two stories high. On the whole, a home is afraid to have 5 square meters.
well, I can't envy you. The boss's vegetable-fried soda water cake is the most affordable in the local restaurant, 1 yuan, and then another local specialty dish, bitter-planted tofu, is made by grinding beans and adding water to ferment. This bitter-planted tofu is made by grinding the seeds of this plant with the same process as tofu. The finished product is tougher than the old tofu, not easy to break, and the taste is very smooth, and there is a feeling of pudding, plus the boss's. Chatting with the boss during the meal, I learned that there is no need for tickets to see the scenery of the ancient town here, and only three special landscapes need to buy tickets separately to enter. This is the most grounded ancient town. Look at other famous ancient towns. Tickets cost hundreds of yuan at a time. There are all kinds of commercial flavors in it. Eating, drinking and buying will become a bar street at night. After visiting so many ancient towns, I feel that this may be the commercial integration of ancient towns in China, and there is no such thing as an ancient town. This Yaoli ancient town is a clean stream in the ancient town, pure and beautiful, without a lot of commercial atmosphere, just thinking that outsiders are showing their beauty and culture.
Because it is in the mountainous area, you can drink mountain spring water in the mountainous area. The government has built a large reservoir, which is specially connected with the mountain spring water drained from the mountain, and every household can take it for themselves. The reservoir is self-cultivated and maintained by residents, and they are self-sufficient and enjoy themselves. This water is also limited, so residents only use it for drinking and cooking, and the domestic water such as washing dishes is still ordinary tap water. This is really enviable for those who have to spend money to buy a bucket of Nongfu Spring in our city! Nature's mountain spring water, nature's gift.
It is said that there is a small wooden bridge here where The Sparkling Red Star was filmed. I saw this film when I was a child, and I can't remember the specific content. But counting the history of this film in detail is probably earlier than I expected, which is the only fun for my parents when they were teenagers. I'm afraid it was shot in 1977. Imagine shooting a movie here in that era. Why didn't it restore the real scene during the Anti-Japanese War? As you can imagine, Pan Dongzi, a little boy, is running on this wooden bridge, feeling his inner joy full of hope.
Although this small wooden bridge looks spacious, it is still a bit awkward to walk on, and the river is not deep, and the small wooden bridge is also very strong. Why do you feel this way?
There is also a farmer's soda water cake production base that has been on TV. I was lucky enough to go in and see how the farmer's aunt cooked the cake. Because there are children in the same trade, they asked to take a small piece in their hands to play with, but the aunt refused. Their rice balls have been weighed according to the weight, and they are eating, so how can they play with them? The words made us very ashamed. We people who live in cities, although we don't say how rich and expensive we are, can be regarded as well. Food waste often happens, and we are used to wasting it at ordinary times. Now we are ashamed to see the rigorous attitude of farmers towards life. There are many courtyards in the local farmers' homes, and they make a living by making this cake. It takes a hard day to make a box of soda cakes in 2 yuan, so they are self-sufficient and live a simple life. People, contentment is always happy!
it is drizzling, with occasional sunshine, bluestone roads and small bridges running water. Mountain springs raise farmers, and rivers soak farm clothes. Locals have set up restaurants and hotels to make a living, otherwise they have to go out to work. This is a rural lifestyle that is completely different from the city. The money earned in a year is only for the family, and it is also impossible to live a rich and expensive life. However, the faces of people in the town are filled with smiles of happy life. At this point, city people envy their lifestyles, but they still choose to go back to the city and the depressed life. Everyone chooses a different lifestyle, but their attitude towards living hard is the same.
Yaoli ancient town, a unique mountain town.
