My second brother’s child got married, and our family went to Chengdu for a week.

The climate in Chengdu in May is suitable, not too hot and comfortable.

When we went there, we took a plane, which lasted more than two hours, and when we came back, we took a train, which lasted more than 22 hours. In order to let the children experience different ways of traveling, although it was a bit hard, we were not afraid of the difficulties of the journey and faced them.

All unexpected challenges brought by children in unfamiliar environments.

It can also deepen the impression on children. We also relived the experience of saying goodbye to the green train a few years ago. Although it is not a green train, the distance feels similar. Most people are afraid of going from a comfortable environment to an uncomfortable environment.

We think of being able to not be irritated or complain about small things, tolerate ourselves from affecting our children, and start with small things.

The weather in Chengdu is unpredictable. It can be a sweltering day under direct sunlight, and suddenly it will rain without warning. When it rains, it is extremely cold. There is rarely a strong wind, but there is usually a gentle breeze.

My first impression of Chengdu was that it was very clean, with green trees and flowers everywhere, the urban landscape was colorful and well-proportioned, and I felt that there were beautiful works of art everywhere.

The architectural shapes are diverse and varied, each with its own characteristics and directions. The open balcony and shading facilities highlight the facade of the building. There is also an open entrance hall connecting to the outdoor landscape. Plants spread throughout the hall, blending in with nature.

As a whole, unlike Shanxi, Shanxi must fully consider the use of sunlight and avoid the dominant wind direction. The foyer is also closed to prevent cold wind from entering, while Chengdu must use the dominant wind direction to reduce the heat in the building.

It is precisely because of the randomness of buildings that the directions of urban roads are also relatively random and irregular. In many places, a major intersection has four or more roads. Unlike Taiyuan, the roads are mostly straight south and north. It is easy to distinguish the direction. In Chengdu,

It is difficult to identify the direction, and it is especially easy to turn. Because of the uncertainty of the reference object, there are many times when it is cloudy and the sun cannot be seen.

On the way back, I asked a few people how they knew the direction. Most of their answers were that they didn’t need to know the direction, they just needed to find it wherever they went.

The second brother's home is not far from Guihu Lake. We went there and entered Yang Shen's private garden Sheng'an Guihu Lake. There are many kinds of green plants in the garden, most of which are indoor potted plants in the north. The gardening environment is so beautiful that I can't bear to leave it.

I really want to record that scene through slow-speed sketching. One is beautiful and the other is cool. There are many beautiful elements in every place, which makes people have endless aftertaste. The gardening of Changjia Manor in Shanxi is already good, but compared to the one in Chengdu, it feels

It's a lot more monotonous. Shanxi's scenery is mostly famous for its magnificent ancient buildings.

In many people's minds, Chengdu is the most leisurely city in China, with teahouses everywhere. Sure enough, people are fanning themselves and chatting under umbrellas on the roadside, listening to soothing music, which makes people feel relaxed and relaxed.

Also, I often see people carrying a tool bag on one shoulder and holding an unknown object in their hand that makes a special sound when they are struck (locals are familiar with this sound signal for contracting business), on the street or in the park.

Walking looking for customers, picking people's ears, or in a teahouse, the price is twenty yuan a person, the customers lie on the recliner with their eyes closed, and the masters work seriously with small spotlights on their heads and tools in hand.

I really enjoy it!

The other one is hair washing (with massage), which is a common thing for them. The second sister-in-law told me that almost everyone in this place goes to have their hair washed. Her children used to go there too, but under her influence they chose to have their hair washed at home.

Wash your hair yourself instead of going out to spend money.

Apart from work and those with strong self-control having things to do, most people spend their free time playing cards and sitting there all afternoon. Sichuan mahjong is as famous as teahouses, and they go hand in hand. They don't even go shopping, and they don't have any other hobbies.

The older women are very diligent and energetic, and many of them are busy doing small business in the market.

Sichuan people are good at eating and cooking. They don't save money. When they have money, they choose to eat well and play cards secondly.

The main food we eat is spicy. There are hot pot restaurants and skewers shops everywhere on the street. Chili peppers are still the common meal. Thick red oil floats in the hot pot. Spicy and numbing are the main features. We can't enjoy it. This is also

Related to their humid climatic conditions, chili peppers are a must to balance out.

The local Sichuan chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns are more famous. People who go there have to buy some of what they like and take them back.

The locals say that the most unacceptable thing is the sour taste of Shanxi vinegar, but my taste buds can't challenge the numb taste there.

According to Chengdu's customs and customs, besides having weddings at home, most people choose to have weddings in restaurants, which can easily accommodate tea rooms and chess and card rooms.

The groom arrives at the hotel after marrying the bride in the morning, and the bride and groom greet the arriving guests together. The guests all give gifts and blessings in the form of red envelopes. No ceremony is needed. The red envelopes may have their names written on them or not.

After meeting and blessing the newlyweds, guests are invited to drink tea on the tea floor of the hotel while waiting for the wedding banquet at noon. The wedding ceremony will be held at noon and then have lunch. After the meal, they will go to the tea floor or chess and card room for entertainment in the afternoon. (Who is getting married in Sichuan?

There must be tea and chess and card games) until dinner begins. Dinner is simpler than lunch, and the number of people is not as large as lunch. After dinner, the guests say goodbye one after another, and the entire wedding is over.

If you want to understand Chengdu, you must go to Kuanzhai Alley, which retains the city's ancient characteristic culture and traditional snacks, which are more authentic and flavorful than Liuxiang in Taiyuan.

The spicy smell wafts in as soon as you enter, and the second brother can tell whether the taste is authentic.
