Chengdu, also known as Rongcheng. It is said that in the Five Dynasties, there was a beautiful and extraordinary Mrs. Hua Rui in Shu. Because she loved hibiscus flowers, the Lord of Shu ordered people to plant hibiscus flowers all over the city, hence the name Rongcheng. Therefore, the first impression of Chengdu is warmth and beauty, happiness and joy.
this is a land that is desirable, with outstanding people and outstanding spirits, and is known as "the land of abundance".
Since ancient times, Chengdu has had a little fate with Yangzhou. In the Tang Dynasty, Chengdu was prosperous in commerce and trade. It was once as famous as Yangzhou and was called "Yang Yi Yi (Chengdu) II". Today, these two cities are famous for their developed tourism and leisure and entertainment industries. Moreover, Chengdu and Yangzhou are both the most happy and livable cities in China. So, a long time ago, I had a kind of intimacy in my heart.
I spent the Spring Festival in 21 in Chengdu.
Compared with Yangzhou, Chengdu has a subtropical monsoon climate. Even in January, when it is freezing, it is still warm and cozy. Therefore, there is no winter in Chengdu.
People often describe Chengdu as "full of flowers" and "full of flowers". In Chengdu, even in winter, as far as you can see, you can see a sea of flowers. Looking from a distance, it is like a jumping wave, rolling and undulating ... just like spring scenery, it is colorful and beautiful. Peach blossoms in Longquan, apricot flowers in Luodai, pear flowers in Xinjin, rape flowers in Jintang, tulips in Shixiang Lake ... As for houses on both sides of Jinjiang River and in alleys, flowers are red and green, and they can be seen everywhere. In spring, they all stayed in Chengdu.
in addition, the charm of Chengdu lies in its profound and long-standing urban heritage. In particular, its eating culture, leisure culture and tea culture have a very far-reaching influence in the hearts of Chinese people.
Chengdu has the title of "gourmet capital", which has promoted Sichuan cuisine to the world. Mapo tofu, couple's lung slices, Shuangliu rabbit head, second sister's diced rabbit, bangbangbangji, taro chicken, third brother's snail, and duck lips in a griddle are the main dishes of Sichuan cuisine. In addition, famous snacks include: Chuanchuanxiang, Dandan Noodles, Longwonton soup, Zhong dumplings, Korean steamed stuffed bun, leaf rake, three cannons, Lai Tangyuan, pork intestines powder, noodles with dregs, Tan Douhua, sad bean jelly, frozen cake ... These cheap and fine Chengdu snacks also support the eating culture of "gourmet capital". Even in the crowded people on Renmin South Road, and in the hustle and bustle of Tianfu Square, you can often see Sichuan sisters who are "round and smooth", holding a bowl of spicy snacks with red oil in their hands, walking with ease, and they are poised and carefree.
Chengdu is a city full of leisure. People here live a leisurely, relaxed and fun life. Chengdu people love to play and have fun. In Sichuan dialect, they are called "Bashi" and "Comfortable". Therefore, some people say that as soon as they set foot on the land of Chengdu, they will hear the overwhelming sound of playing mahjong! "Eating some mala Tang and playing mahjong" is a leisure life pursued by many Chengdu people. Besides, there are other ways for Chengdu people to relax: hotpot, tea house, watching Sichuan Opera, going to the Funan River, and playing "staring blankly" card games ... Every weekend, helping the old and taking care of the young, calling friends, going to the suburban "farmhouse" and eating "killing", which is a trick that every household often chooses. Older people play chess in parks and corners; Rich tycoons drink foreign wine and pick up girls with coffee in bars and cafes around Consulate Road and Brown North Community at night. Fashionable and avant-garde young people drink and dance wildly in the pub ...
The so-called "farmhouse music" is actually a roadside small courtyard surrounded by bamboo forests. There are stone tables and bamboo chairs in the courtyard for you to play mahjong and blue and white porcelain bowls for you to drink tea. Next to it, there are several cages filled with rabbits and cocks (known as roosters in Sichuan). The guest officer can choose which rabbit or rooster, and then you can play cards and wait. After playing the cards, a few burnt rabbits and cocks were brought to the table steaming. At this time, of course, the world-famous Sichuan wine is indispensable. There are four famous Sichuan wines, such as Wuliangye, as well as various kinds of sparkling wines brewed by Wen Jun, Dongtian Milk Wine and Qionglai Sorghum Wine, which are favored by ordinary people.
On New Year's Day, I visited Wuhou Temple, which coincided with the "Spring Festival Garden Party". In the square in front of the door, I personally saw a wonderful Sichuan opera "Color House". Sichuan Opera is a shining pearl in the treasure house of Chinese operas. Sichuan opera's unique skills, such as lifting, opening eyes, changing face, breathing fire and hiding knives, are all jaw-dropping.
Kuanzhai Lane, not far from Wuhou Temple, mainly focuses on tourism and leisure, and is a compound cultural commercial street with distinctive regional characteristics and rich Bashu cultural atmosphere. This "Tianfu Shaocheng" with the connotation of "old Chengdu film, new city living room" is also worth a visit.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, we went to visit Chunxi Road. Chunxi Road is the most prosperous and commercial street in Chengdu. Walking on the bustling Chunxi Road, I saw: tourists are woven and beautiful women are like clouds. My husband expressed great emotion to me: there are so many beautiful women in Chengdu! It is said that we have beautiful women in Yangzhou and beautiful women in Chengdu, which is even worse! Indeed, Chengdu beauties are not famous for a few actors and models. Walking on the streets of Chengdu, it is no exaggeration to say that within a few steps, you will meet one or two beauties. It is said that the stunning beauty in Chengdu prefers the night. I like to appear in bars or cafes with music and wine, and enjoy the wonderful time of wine and coffee. There are so many beautiful women in Chengdu, I think, which has something to do with the Chengdu plain, pleasant climate and rich products.
Chengdu beauty, with delicate and pretty face, delicate and clear skin, delicate and exquisite figure, speaks like a warbler's voice ... especially her skin, which is white and delicate and crystal clear, seems to be broken by blowing a bomb. If measured by the beauty standard, all the indicators of Chengdu beauty are excellent, how can we not make men stunned and excited?
to be fair, Chengdu is indeed a livable city. Leisure, relaxed and happy, without the tension and anxiety forced by life in other cities, the so-called "sub-health" of modern life diseases is hard to find in such a leisure city.
Near Jinli, there is a street, all selling Tibetan ornaments and offerings. We didn't mean to walk in, thinking we were lost and a little anxious. However, when we saw lamas wearing crimson robes, Tibetan old grandmothers shaking prayer wheels and young nuns holding long beads passing by quietly, we unconsciously slowed down our steps and wanted to get some of their tranquility and leisure.
Chengdu is also the capital of tea culture. Chengdu people love and know how to drink tea, which is famous all over the country, so that foreigners use it to describe it as "there are few blue sky on their heads and many teahouses in front of them". "Sitting in a teahouse" is a special hobby of Chengdu people, so teahouses are scattered all over the city and countryside. The teahouse in Chengdu has its own unique style. It is not like the teahouse and tea restaurant in Yangzhou, which is luxurious and elegant. It is often Xialiba-style, full of affinity and simple street flavor. Chengdu people drink tea at ease, and they don't talk about ostentation and extravagance in any form. Drinking tea is their civilian pleasure and enriches their daily life.
Obviously, the lyricism in Chengdu is popular. "One city resident and half a tea drinker", no matter how high or low, everyone can spend 35 yuan in this square inch to enjoy a day's life and build up daily poetry. "One person has nothing to do with the number of stone slabs in the street, and two people sit in the tea shop from morning till night." When you have nothing to do, friends and relatives meet to visit parks and shops. When you are tired and tired, most of them will go to the teahouse to rest their feet, moisten their voices and say something new, so that your body has a rest and your mental strength has recovered. Or on a whim, three friends and four friends shouted and went to the teahouse to soak a bowl of "three flowers" Take your time, soak for a long time, or eat some snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts, and have a "dragon gate array" while drinking tea. Everyone has enough time to enjoy their leisure. "In the cup, the dry Kun is big, and in the tea, the sun and the moon are long." The pleasure of drinking tea in Chengdu is made by time and happiness.
There are countless teahouses and tea shops in the streets and lanes of Chengdu, riverside parks, Luodai ancient town, Huanglongxi ancient town and Jiezi ancient town. These tea shops with bamboo chairs and benches are randomly "built" on the roadside. The pavement is not big, at best, it is a hundred square meters, but the whole space is full of tea customers and the tea smells fragrant. Everyone sipped the cheap scented tea specially smoked with old tea and jasmine, sat by the street and watched the scenery ... The relaxed atmosphere was peaceful and intoxicating.
On the third day of New Year's Eve, in Huanhuaxi Park in front of Du Fu's Caotang, I saw an open-air tea room, an old-fashioned bamboo chair with a small backrest, and local citizens were sitting there, drinking a bowl of tea, full of cool and spicy Sichuan sounds. When in Rome, we also asked for a kind of tea called "Zhuyeqing". It is said that this tea is produced in Emei, which is foggy and rainy, and the tea tastes natural and mellow.
In this way, we leaned against the river and sat next to the Spring Flower Bed, holding a cup of fragrant and elegant "Bamboo Leaf Green" in our hands, bathing in the warm sunshine and smelling the humid air blowing from the river, mixed with faint flowers. Sometimes the breeze blows on your face, and your hair blows across your cheeks, making you numb. Sip a sip of tea, close your eyes, listen to the spring breeze, and the flowers bloom ...
Bright and beautiful winter jasmine flowers, one after another, jostle each other and make a noise, dropping bright yellow flowers. It falls on the ground, on the tea table, on my body, on my heart, and gradually melts away, faints away, and ripples in waves ...
So, Chengdu is really a pleasant city, enjoying food, leisure and tea.
It is also said that people in Chengdu have the idea of muddling along when they are rich, and they are not very hard-working. Chengdu people would rather close their doors early when doing business. It doesn't matter if they earn money or not, as long as they have enough to eat. The key is to have a good mood. Therefore, Chengdu people often give people the impression of being content with the status quo and not making progress. However, the Wenchuan earthquake in 28 showed us another kind of mental outlook. They actively and courageously devoted themselves to emergency rescue and disaster relief. Facing the sudden change of the pace of life, they selflessly donated their property and blood. The blood donation team lined up for hundreds of meters, and the taxi fleet that supported the hardest hit areas for free was blocked for several kilometers at once, showing their perseverance and high morale. When I was in Chengdu for 1 years, it was less than two years before the earthquake, but the earthquake area was orderly and orderly. This city, after experiencing wind and rain nirvana, is still full of vigor and vitality everywhere. No matter in Dujiangyan, Wenchuan or Yingxiu, we can't see the painful and pessimistic expressions on people's faces, but all we see are optimistic and cheerful smiles.
Ginkgo tree is the city tree in Chengdu, and it is a symbol of health, longevity and happiness. In Chengdu, they can be seen in the streets. Look at the transparent golden yellow for a long time, and you will be drunk. Even, I want to be drunk in someone's arms ... Here, there are plenty of peace and leisure of ordinary people and happiness and happiness of ordinary people. If you are in your old age, it will be very good to come to this "city of happiness, the city of happiness" to support the elderly.
Suddenly, I remembered an old song "Happy Hometown" sung by Chen Ming, and thought it was in tune with the city of Chengdu. "There is a place that is a happy hometown. Everything I have is just to find it. Even if I pay a sad price, I may cross a troubled river again and arrive tomorrow. Everything in my life is just to have it. Let's treat it sincerely. When every wandering heart is no longer concerned, happiness is the eternal home ...
Chengdu, this happy hometown, will be the place where my dreams haunt me in the future. So, I will definitely come again!
