The pavement of the old street is a rugged bluestone road. The buildings on both sides of the street are mostly wood structures, and the eaves on both sides cover most of the sky of the street. There are many street pavilions in the middle of the road, just like the wind and rain bridge, people walk on and under the bridge to shelter from the wind and rain, and they are not afraid of the scorching sun. It really rains and won't wet their feet, so they don't need an umbrella when they get out of the sun.

noble love listens to the legend of the chivalrous man

Speaking of noble love, do you think of the realistic version of the "condor chivalrous man"-a love story in which a couple lived on isolated cliffs for more than half a century?

Yes, the location of this story is in the ancient town of Zhongshan. It is a mountain called Banpotou in the deep mountain of Guzhen. The top of the mountain is 15 meters above sea level, and the temperature difference between it and the outside world is about 8 degrees in summer. Liu Guojiang and Xu Chaoqing, known as modern "chivalrous couples", live in this deep mountain, and have built more than 6, stone stairs between cliffs, which is called "noble love" by the world.

Think about it. For more than half a century, the husband and wife have lived a primitive life of slash-and-burn cultivation in the isolated mountains, accompanied by only blue sky and white clouds, mountains and barren slopes, ancient trees and wild monkeys ... Although the conditions are difficult, they live happily. Think about how many necessities we need while we are constantly pursuing a comfortable and comfortable life. When we are busy chasing the so-called happiness, is the heart that knows life forgotten in a corner?

three unique cuisines sing the legend of the ancient town

there are three traditional cuisines in Zhongshan ancient town: shiban Ciba, smoked tofu and Longdong Zajiu.

In fact, the raw materials of the stone slab Ciba in the ancient town are the same as those in other places, but there are two differences in the production process: first, the steamed glutinous rice is mashed with reed stalks; Second, the ancient town of Zhongshan used slate as a pot to bake the rice cake. Pure glutinous rice is made by soaking, steaming, frying and baking, and adding soybean powder and white sugar. Slate Ciba tastes soft, delicate and sweet.

The method of making smoked tofu and its taste are very similar to our barbecue in Leshan-first, the bamboo board is coated with special spices, then the tofu is put on, and it is smoked with charcoal and rice bran, and the oil is constantly brushed and turned over. Finally, brush the seasoning and sprinkle with chopped green onion, which looks golden and shiny, and tastes crisp outside and soft inside, fresh and refreshing.

The third traditional famous food is called Longdong Zajiu. In Zhongshan, almost every household makes their own wine, or drinks it for themselves, or entertains guests and friends. The raw materials of this wine are rice and sorghum, which are added with yeast and stored in small crocks for fermentation. When drinking, add boiling water and rock sugar, and insert a bamboo tube to drink.
