Hefang Street is an ancient street with a long history and profound cultural heritage.

It was once the "imperial city root" of the ancient capital Hangzhou, and also the cultural center and economic and trade center of the Southern Song Dynasty.

After the Ming and Qing dynasties, many shops were renovated, but many time-honored brands were retained.

Today's Hefang Street has added some modern shops and exhibition halls. This old street has traveled through history and is a perfect combination of market culture.

Xu Wei, a great talent from the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, once praised Hefang Street: "The eight hundred miles of lakes and mountains are like a picture of the year, and hundreds of thousands of fireworks are all here."

This couplet used to hang at the entrance of the City God's Temple, which seemed a bit inappropriate, but now it seems appropriate to move it to the "Jianghu Huiguan" pavilion at the highest point of Wushan Mountain.

The "One Hundred Thousand Houses of Fireworks" in the second couplet is taken from the poem "Looking at the Sea Tide" by Liu Yong, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, which praises Hangzhou (ancient Qiantang): "Smoke willows draw bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, and there are hundreds of thousands of houses."

The "eight hundred miles of lakes and mountains" in the first couplet refers to the area where the Yue Kingdom humiliated itself and surrendered to the Wu Kingdom after its defeat, and Wu King Fu Chai gave Gou Jian a fiefdom.

1 Hu Qingyutang’s simplicity reveals a bit of mystery, and its elegance contains cultural accumulation.

"There is Tong Ren Tang in the north and Qing Yu Tang in the south." The story of the everlasting prosperity of "Jiangnan Medicine King" is spread here.

On the back of the second door of Hu Qingyutang, there are four words "It is the art of benevolence" engraved on it. This is exactly the purpose of Hu Xueyan's opening of the store. He regards medicine as a career to help all living beings.

Hanging in the middle of the store are two couplets: "Qingyun is in the sky and the dew is in the wild", "Yu Liang visits Yu Bencao master farmer" and "Yishou leads to longevity celebrations" and "Eclectic and eclectic to save more than enough for use", and cleverly combines "Celebrating

The word "yu" is used at the beginning and end of the two couplets.

2 Longquan Official Kiln In 1993, Lai Jianping, the eighth generation descendant of the celadon family, rented three counters on the prosperous and beautiful lakeside of Hangzhou and opened a Longquan celadon store.

There is a dazzling array of celadon in various shapes, including porcelain from Ge Kiln and Di Kiln.

Longquan celadon has moved from the depths of the mountains to modern cities and into thousands of households. It has been praised by Feng Jicai as "National Treasure of Longquan Official Kiln", Shao Huaze as "Celadon Shines in China's Treasures as Count of Official Kilns", Xiao Feng as "Longquan Official Kiln as the Legacy of the Southern Song Dynasty", and Zou Dezhong as "Longquan Official Kiln National Treasure".

Inscriptions by celebrities such as "The unique thousand-year-old rhyme of the official collection has been revealed in the kiln and has been passed down for generations."

3 Tongrentang Beijing Tongrentang is a famous time-honored brand in the Chinese medicine industry across the country. It was founded in 1669 (the eighth year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty).

Over the course of more than 300 years, Tongrentang people of all generations have always adhered to the ancient motto "No matter how complicated the preparation is, we will not dare to save labor, and no matter how expensive the taste is, we will not dare to reduce material resources", and have established the self-discipline of "No one can see the harmony, but God knows the intention."

Consciousness has created a rigorous spirit of carefulness and excellence. Its products are famous at home and abroad for their "unique formula, superior material selection, exquisite craftsmanship and remarkable curative effect".

4 days of drinking tea, I want to compare the West Lake to the West, but good tea is always like a beautiful woman.

This is the couplet at the entrance of Tianshen Tea.

"If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable" comes from the famous poem "Drinking the First Sunny and Later Rain on the Lake" written by Su Shi (also known as Su Dongpo) in the Song Dynasty when he was the general magistrate of Hangzhou to praise the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.

The whole poem is "It is better when the water is clear and clear, and the mountains are also strange when they are empty and rainy. If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always appropriate to put on light makeup and heavy makeup."

5. Xiangjianhuan Ancient Imitation Tea and Flower Utensils. This Song Dynasty aesthetic tea and flower utensils shop is full of exquisite small items. The name of the brand "Xiangjianhuan" is taken from "Meeting Huan? Silently Going to the West Tower Alone", which was written by Li Yu, the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The famous poem, but it is about the sorrow of parting.

This was written when the author was imprisoned in the Song Dynasty.

The confused sorrow in the poem is just an episode after the end of his court life. Since he had surrendered to the Song Dynasty at that time, what is expressed here is his heartache and sorrow after leaving his hometown and going to the country.
