The moon is setting, the sky is covered with crows and frost, and the river maple and fishing fire are facing melancholy. At Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rang for the passenger ship at midnight. ——Tang Zhangji
This famous poem describes Suzhou. Uncle Hua has always considered himself a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it was not until last month that he participated in an Asian youth creative camp called "Touch Suzhou" Through these activities, I gained a deeper understanding of Suzhou’s culture.
Suzhou Museum
A few months ago, when Uncle Hua was introducing Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in general, when he mentioned Suzhou, the only place he introduced was the Suzhou Museum. ,why? Because it's free!
Haha, of course not entirely, because it was designed by Mr. Ieoh Ming Pei, the designer of the Louvre Glass Pyramid in France. Mr. Pei was originally from Suzhou, so he naturally had a "special interest" in this museum. .
It combines the classical beauty of Eastern architecture with the geometric beauty of Western architecture. Every corner you stand on is full of scenery~
The brocade in the water in the courtyard Carps are very fat, huh? It seems that the wording is not quite accurate. Maybe it’s because Uncle Hua has been in Guangdong for a long time... No matter what, it’s fine everywhere.
There are four permanent exhibition halls in the museum, all of which are cultural relics unearthed from the Wu region. Jiangsu and Zhejiang used to be the land of Wu and Yue. Suzhou especially regards itself as "Wu", so in addition to Suzhou, Suzhou also It can be called "Wuzhong", "Wudi" or "Wumen".
In addition to drinking coffee, there is also a recreational activity recently where you can use a soldering iron to carve your own small bookmarks. It is also very interesting and allows you to give full play to your talents. It is the ultimate test for handicapped people. ~
Uncle Hua was too nervous at the beginning and his hands shook like Parkinson's disease. But after he calmed down, he made a lot of progress. Practice makes perfect!
Humble Administrator's Garden
Speaking of the Humble Administrator's Garden, don't roll your eyes in a hurry. I know you all know this "old attraction", one of the four major gardens in China. , there is no one who has been to Suzhou without going to the Humble Administrator’s Garden, just like no one who has been to Beijing has not been to the Forbidden City, and no one who has been to Xiamen has not been to Gulangyu Island...
Today, I am talking about the Humble Administrator. As for how to play the garden, I can guarantee that among all the pollen, no more than three people have played this way! ! !
Private the Humble Administrator’s Garden ~ Enter the garden one hour early! When the Humble Administrator's Garden was empty, we had Suzhou-style morning tea in the garden, listened to Suzhou Pingtan, and were led by a private guide to explain the "past and present life" of the garden
At the commanding heights of the garden - the fragrance of snow Yunweiting, take a bite of the sweetness of crab shell yellow, taste the fragrance of Biluochun, listen to the chirping of cicadas, and the chirping of birds.
Snow Fragrance Yunweiting~ "Yunwei" refers to the appearance of lush vegetation, and "Snow Fragrance" is not the aroma of snow, but the unique white plum blossoms in winter, with natural color and fragrance, in Humble Government In the garden, you can enjoy the scenery and smell the fragrance of flowers all year round. Just like the lotus flowers in midsummer are a scene, the rain in late summer and the residual lotus are also a scene. Do you feel the wisdom of the ancients~
The Beisi Pagoda in the distance is not in the garden, but ten miles away. However, the designer of the garden, Wen Zhengming, has already used the method of "borrowing scenery" to build the garden. It is indeed a small and exquisite Jiangnan garden that can be famous all over the country. reason.
One more interjection, if you are not full after breakfast, Uncle Hua recommends a few more down-to-earth breakfasts - siu mai, small steamed buns, sweet porridge, salty tofu curd, and the most important thing is "dumb raw food" Fried”, you must try it!
