Changde River Street wakes up from the sleepy homesickness.

On the same day, another touch of dawn will blur the rosy brightness. The river street of Changde, an ancient city, woke up from the sleepy homesickness and opened her new street, new scenery and new highlights, which is also a new day with infinite green and spring.

Mr. Shen Congwen praised in the opening remarks of Changde's Ship: "This is a big pier in Xiangxi." It's River Street in Changde. In front of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the prosperity, noise and congestion of River Street are vividly displayed in Shen Congwen's pen: "This is a river street about three miles long, with inns, flower yarn shops, oil shops, big shops selling hammers and chains on ships, tax bureaus, various halls and restaurants. This river street is so long and complicated, and the ground has been soaked through by people in the city for many years. "

"There are many teahouses in that street, facing the street and the river ... There are lights everywhere from the boat to the night, and there are many boats rocking around in the center of the river, and the boatmen pull out long sounds and sell shochu and pork trotters."

A few strokes, people and things on the dock, a handful of food and a spoonful of drink, and a strong breath of life came to my face, poetically depicting the times in the Yuanshui River Basin. Because of the low terrain, Dahe Street is always flooded every time it rises, and the accumulated water becomes a river, so it is named Hejie Street.

During the prosperous period, the goods in Dahe Street were like wheel rotation, and "gold flowed into silver", also known as "Silver Street". During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, this silver street paved with bluestone slabs was devastated several times. Many merchants' houses and dignified shops were repeatedly bombed by Japanese planes, especially during the battle of Changde in 1943, which brought devastating burning and damage.

Today, the brand-new Changde River Street is located in the east section of the Zihe River, starting from Changde Avenue in the east, Ziyuan Road in the west, Marriage River in the south and Hejie Road in the north. The total land area is about 132,8 square meters, the total length of the block is about 1,5 meters, there are 211 single buildings and 368 shops. Poetically reappears Mayang Street, Dahe Street and Xiaohe Street on the Yuanjiang River in the old Changde period, bringing together various special snacks, focusing on catering, culture, folk leisure and accommodation, and creating an ancient street with tourism, commerce, culture and history. It is a "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" branded in Changde, and it is also a place for Changde people to retain their homesickness.

strolling along the river street, strolling around the prosperous pier depicted by cultural celebrities such as Liu Yuxi, Yang Sichang, Shen Congwen and Huang Yongyu. There are Zhulvfang in the Warring States Period, Chunshenjun Mansion, Liu Yuxi's former residence in the Tang Dynasty, Mayang Guild Hall representing the history of Mayang Street, Yuanyang Zoumalou, a gathering place of Hongbang, Ping 'an Inn bearing the stories of two contemporary cultural celebrities, Shen Congwen and Huang Yongyu, and Changde River Street, which was lovingly inscribed by Huang Yongyu at the age of 91 .. These allusions are well documented and traceable.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the wheel of history is rolling forward. Changde people have their own unique tastes. From morning till night, there are Changde rice noodles that are indispensable to Changde's food culture: Yideyi and Liudeaf Rice Noodle Restaurant, stewed rice noodles, wet rice noodles and dry salted rice noodles.

When relatives and friends come to visit in March and May, the bowl dishes in Deyilou will definitely make the guests feel willing to "don't want to be a horse in the palace, just stew the bowl and stove".

In the evening, come to huangpo or Qinglongquan tea-smashing. When boiled with boiling water, the tea-smashing scraps of ginger, sesame and peanut will be naturally soaked and cooked in the boiling water. When the pot is stopped, the fragrance will float with the hot air. Drinking one bowl is a good thing, drinking two bowls is yes man, and drinking three bowls is a great luck.

Of course, in addition to the brand of the times, inclusiveness is also a brand-new river street style. Old Xiguan, Sichuan cuisine with Sichuan flavor, Chongqing hot pot Wanfuzhuang, especially stinky tofu, all kinds of milk tea and skewers in Changsha can be seen everywhere.

along the river, children's toys, vibrant flowers and plants, special drum play, or quaint beauty's lean, simple and warm benches, a glance at the sparkling lake and a noisy flower drum will always come into your heart.

At dusk, the moon is hazy. Walking and tasting in Changde River Street, where all kinds of life are gathered, will make you feel infinite novelty, satisfaction, happiness and sense of belonging from the bottom of your heart.

Come on, friends, have a taste of the special snacks. On this evening when the spring breeze is intoxicated, take friends and relatives along the river to enjoy the colorful folk activities such as Changde Han Opera Gaoqiang, Changde Sixian and Changde Fishing Drum. This colorful river street will definitely make you drunk rather than wake up.
