Do you still remember Dai Wangshu’s song "Rain Alley"?

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, wandering alone in the long, long and lonely rainy alley, I hope to meet a lilac-like girl with a sorrowful complexion.

She has the same color as lilacs, the same fragrance as lilacs, the same sadness as lilacs, complaining in the rain, sad and hesitant.

She wandered in the lonely rain alley... Anyone who has read this song "Rain Alley" will never forget it.

The drizzle, the wet stone road, the graceful figure of Pingting under the oil-paper umbrella, and the long rain alley.

The mottled old wall.

A few numbers outline an artistic conception like an oil painting, which has been deeply engraved in our hearts.

Among the old and fresh buildings in the southeast of the city, there are also many rainy alleys like those written by Dai Wangshu.

It is said to be ancient because most of them are Ming and Qing buildings or were rebuilt on the basis of Ming and Qing buildings.

It is said to be fresh because the government has focused on urban construction in recent years and has renovated the old city. In order to ensure the unique architectural style of the city, this old city has been renovated and polished. Now it has become a good place for people to visit ancient times.

This is Laomendong, a famous tourist check-in place in Nanjing.

The summer plum rain falls in pattering patterns overhead.

As I walked through the ancient buildings, I felt like I was going back in time.

The pieces of blue bricks and slates are lying under the feet, the clumps of iris and calamus, and the trees of hibiscus are coming from the corners of the blue brick floor and stone walls; the hanging vines and ivy are climbing up the tall trees.

On the tops of walls and at the corners of houses, their dead vines, twigs, and new flowers are floating and swaying above people's heads; hundreds of years old trees stand in the streets and alleys, like loyal guards guarding the centuries-old houses, and the eaves of the carved beams and painted buildings,

The rolling sheds and gabled roofs all tell the story of their vicissitudes of history over the years.

Alleys large and small are written with this new "Rain Alley". On both sides of "Rain Alley", there are many cafes, teahouses, gourmet restaurants, silk and satin shops, ready-made clothing shops, spice shops, bars, hotels, and cultural celebrities.

Former residence, memorial hall, etc.

Various characters came in and out.

In the ancient streets and alleys, beauties in ancient costumes bring their boyfriends and girlfriends, posing in various elegant postures, like the blooming flowers of the old days, waiting for the moment of passion to bloom before the "click" sound.

Occasionally, a colorful oil-paper umbrella swayed out from the deep alley. The graceful figure under the umbrella seemed to make me see Lilac girl... Switching through time and space, a woman wearing a blue raincoat suddenly appeared under the camera, with her open "

An old couple parked their BMW at the corner of the alley.

I just walked there, and I remember the words "I met you at the corner... I met love at the corner..." They lifted their raincoat hats covering their heads, revealing their silver hair like snow. They are the guardians of the environment here.

They did not feel that they were old. They devoted their last strength to life, to themselves, to their children and grandchildren, to the city, to the green bricks and green tiles that carry a long history, and to these deep streets.

The rain was pattering, but they did not stop their work because the ground was wet and the road was slippery. Working was their most familiar action.

In the century-old salty hotel, there are fennel beans, dried beans in chicken sauce, tofu brain, bayberry soup... Kong Yiji's back endures the humiliation and endures the burden here for a long time.

Chatting with the landlady, I learned that people from Anhui are the most dominant people here. Some of them are engaged in shop business, some are cleaners, some are waiters, and some are security guards... "Their ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang came to Nanjing from Fengyang.

It was the first of its kind a hundred years ago." This was the boss's wife's joke.

In the deep alley, colorful clothes, colorful umbrellas, colorful vines, and gray brick walls become more and more solemn.

Another pair of silver-haired old people, in this intertwining of solemnity and romance, walked into the mirror holding hands in the rain alley. The afterglow of dusk fell in the rain alley, falling on them, and another oil painting was displayed.

Today, there are many rain alleys. There are not only historical paintings and classic poems in the rain alleys, but also many romantic stories and new characters.

This old building is located next to the solemn old city wall of Zhonghua Gate. It shows the maturity and solemnity of the historical and cultural city and reveals the majesty of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

It also wrote a new chapter in the history of the ancient capital.
