Beijing hutongs of Beijing's Hutong to me, like a piece of childhood front of the house was full of strange, like a small vegetable bed is close to the memory of another. I remember the first trip to Beijing, when a person has been fascinated by the streets in Beijing, where to go crazy, I feel there is a special intimacy. Every time swimming in the Beijing city Strolling, freehand way to understand the charm of Beijing, the mind is always sprang the kind described by Mr. Lao She old Beijing: the ancient city walls, under the feet of the old Imperial City alley , alley of the old Peking Man, the old Beijing, a wide variety of juggling, the proliferation of old Beijing snacks, break out of the alley houses cries, etc., as high above the Forbidden City, the emperor's garden merit, but it is a touch of a Pen nothing to attract.
In the past been to Beijing several times, always because of this and other reasons, or did not stepped on a good point, on the edge of Beijing's old hutongs are always stingy side, could not be able to see. This is back in Beijing, bearing person, finally Daizhe a Hutong Tour, regardless of the tourist in the form of music I do not happy, first got into an alley channeling channeling is.
Have you been to an old alley near the front door wandering around the area from the Liulichang to Huguang Assembly Hall. The alley was obviously old, and has been completely changed, like, the main reason is that the quadrangles have been basically can not see what came. My alley, should be formed by rows and rows of months from the courtyard adjacent to a section of the alley is full of spirituality, if the courtyard has not made, and fewer of the courtyard of the alley, it can only be a small alley just ordinary. The Hutong Tour, from the liuyin Street had yangfang alley to alley Dongming, and then transferred after the sea, to Mei Lanfang's former residence, former residence of Soong Ching Ling to Prince Gong's Mansion garden and, finally, you can turn on the bell tower overlooking the scenery of this area near the the layout of courtyard houses and alleys. This paragraph is said to be better preserved Beijing Hutong section.
Out of the Lama Temple, to the Jingshan Park Lane twisted my, and then rushed to the Shichahai, sit rather old-fashioned manpower tricycle, the front ring tones conscious, khaki khaki, slow Yau Yau slowly turn in the alley with, we started I iQue long-Beijing Hutong Tour. Lazily listening to driver and tour guide for this is a big man who is living in, it is Shazaishazai's childhood home, as if less care, but on the alley where the variety of architectural interested. Then asked to play I do not know the good tradition of mouth from the tour guide dug a number of interesting things. Courtyard of a variety of wishful door, door stones children, Zhaobi, dismount stone, Shuanma piles, brick, even the front door the old locust tree, and so, their shape, regulate the size of the original buildings are all set requirements, not thinking about how to how to build on the premises. Elite government officials of course, others can be built Guangliang the door, while the common people can only be built on wishful doors, and doors, but there are more big wishful wishful door, the door of the type of small wishful; door stones children also tend to reflect some meaning, like Gun Xiuqiu patterns carved lion, says host family is a military officer status, while most people will be carved like a bat Diao some old coins the "blessings in front of" pattern, or flowers, legends, and other auspicious patterns; beautiful brick are more a kind of aesthetic means, but also, and now master the art of the old brick gate artist has become less and less, and can not help people remember with affection Tan Wan feelings; there is an old locust tree, due mostly to build Courtyard locust tree when planted, so there is a saying: "Zhaizi old is not old, big and small depend on Ash," Look, more interesting and the general statement呀!
Hutong Tour, do not look at courtyard is not right. Prince Gong's Mansion backyard, after all, the Princes mansion and has been vulgarity sell and gentry of the story, no meaning. Went to Mei's house, a typical Beijing courtyard buildings have been turned into a memorial. Looked at the master's life story plum photo exhibition, and then take a look at some of his costumes for performances, photographs, etc., stood a small square-shaped courtyard, touching look at under the master kinds of Begonia want to master before the day on the In this crabapple tree Diaosang Zi, practice, power rack full, it seems that as much of the faint sound of drums Sheng Yang Zhao in the hospital in the back can not help but daydream mental state. Get out of a master's former residence, twisted my, carefully pushing a courtyard ordinary people, not seen a host family, a few chicks in casually pawing the ground, stretching Shen Shetou, then carefully slipped out. I like the quiet of the courtyard, like it quiet down the gracious gesture, and I like the bustling courtyard, like it's leisurely vitality; like the courtyard just like they should, like it's from bearing adapter; like front courtyard gate acacia trees, like the crabapple and pomegranate; like to switch out of the door into the courtyard prostrata that a small courtyard garden, like the inside of the flowers, fish ponds, and rockery, like the courtyard slowly took a few steps; the is so fond of the.
Hutong's attracted me, that flutter of ancient architecture, rich local flavor is certainly an important aspect, in fact, inside the old hutong where snacks are also a very important reason why. Beijing Hutong where there is a unique snack, Douzhi. Speaking of old Beijing Lao She recalled that Mr. snacks, especially when talking about the unique snacks Douzhi alley where the kind of fascinating, if also said one simple sentence: not Douzhi will not be able to drink a good understanding of Peking Man. What actually is the alley where it unique, Douzhi? I am somewhat surprised, at a large hotel meet again I can understand that, after all, are doing the remaining tofu fermented bean dregs of water and then boiled, hard on the so-called something presentable and acceptable, but also features a small food street where I could not find really strange incessantly of. This time, below the bell tower, finally found one with Douzhi "drink" of the shop, said that there Douzhi drink because if you like to drink, he can send, not to sell. Is not to say that even the Xiaoya of the stores have also entered can not be mean? Whether it so much, and to bowl Douzhi, with crisp dish circle, come back two stinky tofu, the other casually strike. Douzhi drink up, there are shares of sour taste, but somehow, with a crisp ring to eat it is a perfect match. Then there is stinky tofu, eat one, but also smooth and flavorful You Dianxian used with millet gruel great! Douzhi dare not say that drinking, eating tofu on and off for nearly a master, and would like to taste the old Peking Man's living. Drinking Douzhi, an afternoon in cuckoo called the stomach, to the night all right, but fortunately, in advance was reminded that this is a normal phenomenon, otherwise I do not know what to do. However, when the side play while listening to the stomach directly call out the feeling may even recognize us: Stick!
Into the alley, as is into an already very familiar with the old place, the smiles and acquiescence in the guide jumping up and down, deliberately to bring a taste of the alley to my delight.
Hutong is a part of the common people, it is secular, all-inclusive, it is a deeper, bigger, broader presence.
