Time magazine in the United States said,"Chengdu is the most China." Chengdu is more vibrant and energetic than traditional Xi'an, and retains more ancient Shu culture than modern Shanghai. Now Jinsha Culture, Dujiangyan, and Giant Panda are listed as Chengdu's three major cultural brands. However, I am ashamed that although I have been to Chengdu many times, I have never visited it carefully. Coupled with the eternal temptation of Asia's first international "food capital", a friend recently happened to call to say that Chengdu would move its main airport to distant Jianyang City starting in July. Since I still have "Flying with the Heart" in hand, let me seize the time to go alone and seriously taste the Chengdu I once rushed through.

June 1

My friend specially went to Shuangliu Airport to pick me up and arranged for me to live near Yipintixia Station on Metro Line 2 not far from his home. A delicious meal of rattan pepper fish opened my taste buds for delicious food. In order to have enough appetite at night, I must find a place to visit in the afternoon. My friend said that the Jinsha Ruins are not far away and can be reached on foot. After dinner, I can start to digest food.

The Jinsha site was built from the 12th to the 7th century BC (About 2600 - 3200 years ago) The center of ancient civilization in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River-the second capital of the Ancient Shu Kingdom after Sanxingdui in the Guanghan Dynasty. It is praised as the most important archaeological discovery in the 21st century. It resurrected a lost period of history, recreating the mysterious ancient Shu culture and unique bronze civilization, is of great significance to the study of the origin, development and decline of Shu culture, and is a cornerstone monument for the study of ancient Shu civilization. In particular, strong evidence has been found to solve the mystery of the sudden disappearance of Sanxingdui civilization. The Jinsha Site, together with the prehistoric city sites in the Chengdu Plain, the Sanxingdui Site, and the Warring States Boat Coffin Tomb, jointly constructed four stages of the development and evolution of the ancient Shu civilization, providing important evidence for the establishment of the "diversity and integration" theory of the origin of ancient Chinese civilization. Ancient Shu civilization has a long history as the Yellow River civilization and the civilization in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River with Chengdu as the center is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. Today, the "Ancient Shu Civilization Site" composed of Sanxingdui and Jinsha, Shu Road (Guangyuan Section of Jinniu Road) has been included in the "Preliminary List of China's World Cultural Heritage".

The two main buildings of the Jinsha Site Museum are the relic hall and the exhibition hall, both of which adopt a slope method, indicating the gradual rise of the Jinsha Site. The relic hall is nearly circular, and the exhibition hall is square. One circle and the other symbolize the ancient Chinese The universe view of the sky is round and the earth is square. The two buildings are distributed on the north and south sides of the Dasha River, complementing each other and integrating with the garden area. The Ruins Museum is the excavation site of the large-scale sacrificial activity site at the Jinsha Site. It is currently the most complete preserved sacrificial remains, the longest lasting, and the richest sacrificial relics in China. Here, you can experience the archaeological site from a distance and witness with your own eyes the unearthed site of many precious cultural relics. The original site. Since the Jinsha site was discovered, tens of thousands of precious cultural relics have been unearthed. It is the site with the highest density of ivory unearthed (in tons) at the same time in the world and the richest number of gold and jade objects. The noble and bright gold objects, mysterious and strange bronzes, The colorful jade articles and vivid and realistic stone tools are all the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Shu ancestors, especially thousands of rare treasures with the artistic style of ancient Shu, such as the sun bird gold ornaments, gold masks, ten-section blue jade cong, and copper liren. It shows us a glorious and splendid ancient Shu civilization three thousand years ago.

Shang and Zhou Sun God Bird Gold Ornaments

"Sun God Bird" is the pinnacle of the golden art of the ancient Shu ancestors. It is the treasure of the Jinsha Site. It is also one of the top cultural relics banned from overseas exhibitions in my country, and ranks among the nine national treasures in China. It was unearthed in the sacrificial area of the Jinsha Site in 2001 and was announced as a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage in 2005. It has a diameter of 12.5 cm and a thickness of only 0.02 cm. It is made of very thin gold foil with a gold content of 94.2%. The gold decoration pattern is divided into two rings: inner and outer. The rotating fireball in the inner ring symbolizes the sun. There are twelve clockwise rotating lights distributed equidistantly around it, representing a twelve-month cycle. Four flying divine birds on the outer ring are connected with their heads and feet. Flying endlessly around the sun, the direction of flight is opposite to the light of the sun in the inner layer, which coincides with the legend of "the Golden Crow bears the Sun" in the ancient myth "Shan Hai Jing". The ancient Shu people used vivid images to convey the worship of the gods.

Shang and Zhou Great Gold Mask

It was unearthed in the sacrificial area of the Jinsha Site in 2007. It was later than other cultural relics. It should be an important ritual vessel used in large-scale sacrificial activities in the Jinsha Kingdom. It is the most completely preserved and largest gold mask found in China so far, with a gold content of more than 80%. Its production process has reached a high level. The overall face is three-dimensional, with a width of 19.5 cm and a height of 11 cm, which is similar to the width of an adult male face. It has a flat forehead, prominent eyebrows, large eyes, a high bridge of the nose, a wide mouth slightly open, ears outstretched, and a solemn and majestic expression, revealing the spirit of a king. It is basically the same in style as the bronze figure mask unearthed at the Sanxingdui site.

Ten Sapphire Cong of Liangzhu Culture in the Neolithic Era

The most distinctive cultural relic in the Jinsha site is not an original work of the Jinsha people, but comes from Liangzhu culture thousands of miles away. Zhejiang's "Liangzhu Ancient City Site" has been included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO. The two sites span thousands of years, but how can Liangzhu jade cong suddenly appear in distant Jinsha? The jade cong is 22.2 centimeters high, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, round outside and round inside, with a hole in the middle, and the surface is emerald green translucent. The inside and outside of the vessel are polished and polished. The jade is smooth and smooth. The whole body is divided into ten sections. At the turn of each section, you can see the decoration of the divine face pattern, which is exactly the same as the jade cong decoration unearthed in Liangzhu. The god and animal face is a symbol of theocracy at that time and a landmark pattern of Liangzhu culture. It belongs to the typical decoration of jade cong in the late Liangzhu culture. Its carving techniques are almost exactly the same as those of Liangzhu jade cong. The craftsmanship is complex and it is a veritable "imported gift".

Tong Liren in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties

A small bronze statue unearthed at the Jinsha Site is small and exquisite, about 20 centimeters high. It stands tall on a seat, wearing a sun hat with arc-shaped teeth on its head, and a carefully trimmed three-strand braid behind its head. The face is thin, the eyebrows are raised, and the cheekbones are high. The hands are held in a posture and placed on the chest, the fingertips are locked, and the fists are hollow. The whole shape has a three-dimensional sense of space. Its style and style are similar to those of the tall standing figures unearthed in Sanxingdui. The cultural relics at the Jinsha site are very similar to Sanxingdui culture in terms of time, shape and cultural symbols, which truly reflects the inheritance relationship between Jinsha culture and Sanxingdui culture. The replacement of Sanxingdui by Jinsha was only due to the change of political power within the ancient Shu Kingdom.

The garden area hides a ten-year-old ebony forest. It is a mark of the vicissitudes of time and a witness of great changes in the environment. It is a characteristic landscape composed of more than 60 ebony trees unearthed from the Jinsha site and the Chengdu area. It has a high-cold temperament and is unique in China. These ebony trees have a history of 3,000 - 12,000 years. Ebony specifically refers to all kinds of precious ancient trees buried under the ancient river bed for thousands of years. Not all ancient trees can be transformed into ebony. Generally, only tree species with fragrance or bactericidal characteristics can form ebony, such as nanmu, rosewood, and camphor trees. After long-term reaction processes such as physical and chemical, they have formed a "living fossil" that resembles stone rather than stone, and resembles wood rather than wood. The wood is hard and delicate, black from the surface to the core of the tree, with clear texture and very precious. As the saying goes,"There are thousands of ounces of gold in the house. Not as good as the ebony side."

Loach is no stranger to many people. It has high nutritional value and is called "ginseng in the water". My friend knows that I have always liked eating loach, so he specially took me to the loach aroma next to the Jinsha Ruins. This is a popular loach themed restaurant nowadays. When I opened the menu, I found that there are nearly 20 kinds of loach related dishes, whether cooked, fried and roasted, spicy or not spicy, whole or sliced, everything: Iron plate loach aroma, overbearing loach aroma, spicy loach aroma, ginger loach aroma... The loach rake is soft and tender, and it will be rotten with a sip. It is very delicious. The roasted pepper waist slices are also worth recommending. The waist slices are thin and tender, and the roasted pepper is matched with the base., hot oil is poured on the aroma. I didn't recognize it as the waist slices when I was served on the table, but more like tofu skin.

If you get off at Tonghuimen Station on Metro Line 2 or Kuanzixiang Station on Line 4, you can easily reach Kuanzixiang. These are three ancient alleys of the Qing Dynasty arranged in parallel, namely Kuanzi, Narrow Alley, and Jingzi Alley. The antique courtyard houses of green vegetables and bricks are all made of ancient Qing Dynasty streets left over in Chengdu. Together with Daci Temple and Wenshu Temple, it is called the protected neighborhoods of Chengdu's three major historical and cultural cities. The wide alley is 7 meters wide, showing the "leisurely life" of old Chengdu. The narrow alley is 5 meters wide, showing the "slow life" of old Chengdu. There is naturally an old well in the well alley, showing the "new life" of old Chengdu. The whole wide and narrow alley fully shows Chengdu's past, present and future, and is the best reflection of Chengdu's leisure city and market life. At night, the wide and narrow alleys are crowded with people, and the alleys look more beautiful under the light. Tall lanterns are hung. The branches of the law tree cover many standard Sihe courtyards, high gate buildings, deep house walls, blue bricks and gray tiles. Each house must have many secret legends. Ancient buildings, petty bourgeoisie shops, and noisy groups blend together. People enjoy the leisure life on summer nights here, especially the dragon-shaped carvings at the entrance of the small dragon crossing the river. There is also the three-dimensional tall horse in front of the horse tying stone, which is lifelike and flexible, attracting tourists to stop.

June 2

When you come to Chengdu, how can you not go up close to admire the cute pet-the national treasure giant panda? There are through trains to scenic spots in Chunxi Road, Kuanzhai Alley and other city centers to the Panda Base. I will directly transfer from Metro Line 7 to Line 3 in the morning and get off at the Zoo Station. There will be buses that go directly to the scenic spot at the subway entrance. Whether it is a subway station or a bus, it is full of panda elements everywhere.

The Chengdu Giant Panda Base is currently the place with the largest number of giant pandas in the world. There are more than 200 giant pandas in captivity in the base. I choose to walk the entire journey. Giant pandas generally live in dense bamboo forests at an altitude of 2,600 - 3,500 meters. The annual temperature is lower than 20℃. The base simulates the wild habitat of giant pandas. It is built along the mountains. The forests are lush and the environment is quiet. It is like a large forest park, with many cartoon shapes of kung fu pandas scattered. Giant panda delivery rooms, panda breeding areas, scientific research centers, and panda hospitals are distributed in an orderly manner. Several luxury panda "villas" are scattered in the mountains and forests. Giant pandas of different ages breed and live here. Of course, you can also see cute little pandas, fat squirrels shuttle through them.

Adult giant pandas have toot, round, and lazy meat. They twist their butts every day. They only do one thing, eat bamboo, grab a bamboo and start chewing it. The way they look with gusto makes people wonder how delicious the bamboo is. Eat bamboo in various postures, lying down, sitting, leaning against it. They start to feel sleepy when they are full and drunk. They sleep while basking in the sun in various postures, lying down, lying on their knees, and hanging.

In comparison, young giant pandas are more lively and active. They climb high and low, playing in groups of three and five, playing in the water, playing hard, naive and cute, and several celebrity babies attract countless attention. The most hilarious scene is a young giant panda struggling to climb up a climbing frame. Finally, it reaches the top and is about to hang it for a while. When the adult giant panda mother is taking bold steps and is about to come up in three or two steps without even looking at her child. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he fell upside down on the shelf and began to sleep leisurely on his belly. He completely ignored his huge weight and directly pressed on the child. The child could not bear the burden, lost his center of gravity, and fell off the high shelf alive. It looked up wronged, but still failed to get any attention from its mother. It had to wriggle its butt up angrily and find its own place to play again. This scene was so funny that it made us laugh.

Of course, what attracts everyone the most is the panda babies in the delivery room. The panda babies in the incubator are toot like little mice. The slightly larger panda babies are also soft and cute, completely capturing your heart (Photo borrowed from the Internet).

A friend drove to the Panda Base to pick me up and took me to Chenmapo Tofu (Western Sichuan Residential Theme Experience Store), Chenmapo tofu is a famous dish known at home and abroad. It has a history of 158 years since its establishment during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. In 2011, Chenmapo tofu making skills were recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of Sichuan Province. It is a folk tofu dish with unlimited scenery for more than a hundred years. The tofu is soft, tender and delicious, and the beef is crispy and fragrant, but oily but not greasy. It is worthy of being a representative of Sichuan cuisine and is a perfect match for the meal. The Sichuan cuisine here is very authentic, and the name "taste on the tip of the tongue" is special. In fact, it is a rattan pepper beef tongue. The beef tongue is moderate in thickness, crisp, tender and delicious, and very tenacious.

A few days ago, I was following the live broadcast of CCTV's archaeological excavation "Sleep for Three Thousand Years, Awakening the World". This time, I must not give up this great opportunity when I come to Chengdu. My friends and I drove to Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan City. The Sanxingdui ancient site covers an area of 12 square kilometers and has a history of 5000 to 3000 years. It is the largest ancient city, ancient country, and ancient Shu cultural site with the longest scope, longest duration and richest cultural connotation discovered in Southwest China. It is an important representative of the world's bronze civilization from the 16th to the 14th century BC. Its discovery provided unique physical evidence for the disappeared ancient Shu Kingdom. Sanxingdui, the center of civilization in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is the most mysterious star among the "stars in the sky" of Chinese civilization. There is no written record in all historical documents. It is like a silent time capsule waiting for people to resurrect that mysterious period of history. The area that has been excavated so far is only about one-thousandth of it. The name Sanxingdui is named by archaeological experts after the three piles of loess hills at the excavation site, which means a mound shaped like a three-star distribution. The areas that can be visited include the comprehensive hall and the Bronze Museum. There are many replica cartoon shapes of cultural relics outside the museum.

Since January 2002, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage has published a catalog of cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad. Most of them are orphans and vulnerable items among first-class cultural relics, and are of immeasurable value. Sanxingdui Bronze Divine Tree and Jade Zhangs Sacrifice to Mountains were included in the first batch of cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad. In the third batch of list released in 2013, bronze Daliren and gold staff were also included.

Sacrifice to Mountain Yuzhang

The jade zhang, which is completely preserved and has the largest shape, uses open carving technology. The thinnest part is only 2 mm. Its carving technology represents the highest level of all jade articles in Sanxingdui. The pattern is symmetrical from top to bottom, and the pattern is fine and complex, reflecting the ancient Shu people holding jade zhang on the altar to sacrifice to heaven, earth and mountains, which freezes a vivid scene of social life in the Sanxingdui theocratic country, and its value is self-evident.

Bronze Divine Tree (Treasure of the Town Hall)

The bronze divine tree was unearthed in the No. 2 sacrificial pit. A total of eight trees were unearthed, but only two trees were displayed because the rest were in fragments that could not be repaired. This completely restored bronze divine tree is the largest, 3.95 meters high. The ancient trees under the vast galaxy communicate with heaven and earth. It is the largest single piece of bronze cultural relic ever discovered in the world. It is a beautiful shape and is named No. 1 Divine Tree. There are three layers of branches, the flowers and fruits of the branches are either upturned or droop, and nine sun gods stand on the tree. There is a dragon hanging from the lower part of the divine tree, with the dragon's head facing downward and the dragon's tail on top. It was once mentioned in "The Book of Mountains and Seas". The image reproduces the beautiful "Ten-Day Myth" in ancient times and expresses the ancient Shu people's worship of the divine bird, the sun and the divine tree is a rare orphan product.

The second divine tree only retains the lower half, and its overall shape is unknown. There is a person kneeling on each of the three bases symbolizing the roots of the tree. The hands of the figure stretched forward, as if they were holding something. Three branches stretched out from each layer of the tree trunk. There are flower buds wrapped in long and short leaves. The main body of the branch is stretched out and upturned, and the bird inhabits the leaves of the flower buds on the branch.

Bronze Daliren

The bronze statue of Liren is the tallest and most complete bronze statue in the world during the same period. It looks like an "Oriental Giant" and is known as the "King of Bronze Statues in the World." He is 2.608 meters tall, 1.8 meters tall, and weighs 180 kilograms. He stands on a monster-shaped pedestal. He has a unique facial shape, a high nose bridge, thick eyebrows and large ears, like a Westerner. His body is slender, his hands are folded around, and his clothes are complicated. He may be a king of Shu or a wizard with supreme power. His overall image is elegant and solemn, as if he still exudes the light of a king after a thousand years.

golden sceptre

The golden staff is the largest and heaviest gold ware of the Shang Dynasty discovered so far in China and a rare treasure representing royal power. It is also the earliest golden staff discovered so far in the world. It is 1.42 meters long. The wood in the center has rotted, leaving only a thin layer of gold. The combination of the supreme gold and the supreme scepter represents divine power and royal power. A 46-centimeter long pattern is carved on one end of the golden staff, drawing a picture of an arrow penetrating a bird and piercing a fish head. There are also two heads wearing a five-foot crown. Fish can dive deep to the bottom of the water and birds can fly into the sky, which symbolizes the power of the King of Shu with the ability to go up to the sky and enter the earth. Some experts believe that the person wearing a five-toothed crown should be the ancestor of Shu silkworm Cong. He handed the golden staff representing the King of Shu to Yufu. The pattern shows an image of a feather arrow running through the bird and the fish head, which is a system of abdication that intuitively expresses the throne at that time.

gold mask
All gold utensils were unearthed in Sanxingdui No. 12 sacrificial pit, including gold sticks, gold masks, gold foil tiger-shaped ornaments, gold foil fish-shaped ornaments, etc. The most distinctive ones are the gold sticks and gold masks. Most of the gold artifacts unearthed in Sanxingdui are binary alloys of gold and silver, with a gold content of more than 85%, equivalent to 18K gold. The gold mask has a residual width of 21.5 cm and a height of 11.3 cm. It is made of gold and hammered. The craftsmanship is excellent. Some experts believe that it may have fallen off the head of a certain bronze figure, which is a symbol of the wearer's honor, authority and status. It can be said to be the leader of Sanxingdui gold artifacts.

The bronze ware of Sanxingdui can be called a magnificent spiritual epic, which vividly expresses the spiritual life of the ancient Shu people. The Bronze Museum uses a bronze human head and bird body as the main iconic sculpture, supplemented by a large copper embossed back screen. The first exhibition hall is the Mask Hall. More than 20 bronze man masks were unearthed at the Sanxingdui site. These masks are not in line with the standard proportion of the "three courtyards and five eyes" of the human face. The exaggeration of the five senses is to widen the distance from reality and highlight its divinity. The bronze mask group represented by the vertical eye mask is one of the most distinctive and spiritual cultural relics types in Sanxingdui.

Many of the huge masks unearthed in Sanxingdui are unique and legendary products in the world. Each of them has different shapes and has "clear bones." The large bronze mask is 72 centimeters high and 132 centimeters wide. It is the largest of all the masks unearthed in Sanxingdui. The mask is heavy, calm, rigorous and dignified, showing its glorious majesty as an object of worship; The copper vertical eye mask is the earliest and largest bronze mask in the world. It is also one of the two largest masks in bronzes unearthed in Sanxingdui. It is known as the "King of Masks". It is 66 centimeters high and 138 centimeters wide. The eyes and ears are extremely exaggerated. A pair of eyes protruding outward in a columnar shape reach 16 centimeters long. A pair of engraved ears are fully spread out to both sides. It is known as the "Thousand Eyes, Shunfeng Ears". It has a magnificent shape, intimidating all directions, and is mysterious and quiet. It looks like a human being but not a human being, and looks like a beast but not a beast, giving people a strong sense of deterrence, which happens to confirm the description in ancient myths about the silkworm cong, the ancestor of the Shu people; the bronze mask wearing a crown and vertical eyes is 85.4 cm high and 78 cm wide. There is a forehead decoration of up to 66 cm in the middle of the forehead, with the upper end rolling inward and the middle decorated with blade-like wings. The mask is weird and mysterious.

Head of a flat-topped/domed golden-faced figure

The bronze head statue wearing a gold mask is called the "Golden-Faced Messenger". The gold mask is made of hammering out with gold skin and is pasted on the bronze head according to the shape of the head. A total of 4 heads of people wearing gold masks were unearthed in Sanxingdui Pit 2. The size and shape are similar to that of ordinary people. However, due to the wearing of gold masks, these heads are quite noble among dozens of heads. It is generally believed that this kind of gold-faced statue represents people at the highest level of society, who hold the power of life and death. He also has special skills to communicate with gods. His head is shining with golden light and has extraordinary bearing. His flat-topped hair braid hangs behind his head. It has a strong local ethnic hairstyle. There is a hair hairpin behind the dome, and both upper and lower ends are incomplete.

Bronze sun-shaped vessel

The diameter is 84 centimeters, and the five awns around it are radiating, and the awns are connected to the surrounding halo. This shaped artifact has never been seen in previous unearthed cultural relics. It is generally believed by experts to be a physical manifestation of the ancient Shu people's worship of the sun. It is a devout artifact or sacrificial tool that ancient Shu people worshipped piously. It is one of the most puzzling artifacts among the Sanxingdui bronzes. It looks like both a hot wheel and a steering wheel. Could it be that the alien civilization of Shenma was left behind in the Land of Abundance?

Bronze Big Bird Head

It has a height of 40.3 centimeters, a simple shape, smooth lines, and huge eyes. The image is quite similar to that of an eagle and an osprey. It may be a decoration on a temple building, or it may be installed on an object as a symbol for ceremonial purposes. With respect to its status, it is the largest piece among all bird cultural relics in Sanxingdui.

Bronze figure with a beast head and a crown

It is 40.2 centimeters tall, has a dignified posture, and has a cold and solemn expression. It should represent the image of a wizard who presided over a ritual. The clothes worn should be a robe, which is quite vivid and vivid. The upper body of the portrait is only left, and the two arms of the portrait are folded around the chest. Both hands are in hollow hand shapes, and the little fingers are curled up like orchid fingers. The most eye-catching thing about the statue is its unique beast head crown, which is decorated quite like the nose of an elephant. It is a composite mythical beast image that combines the local characteristics of multiple animals.

Bronze altar

The altar has a residual height of 53.3 centimeters and was damaged due to fire. It is divided into four floors. The bottom floor is an animal-shaped seat, which is the base of the entire altar. The beasts among them are the famous "Divine Beasts under the altar". The second floor is inhabited by four Daliu people, who are majestic and solemn. The third floor is a high mountain, and the top floor is the most mysterious one, which seems to be a square box. The hollow box is carved with five ancient Shu people. They may have been wizards from the ancient Shu State. They all had their heads curled up, wore long sacrificial dresses, and their hands were in rings, holding something like bronze Dali people. The altar has a peculiar shape and mysterious shape. It is speculated that it is an important sacrificial vessel in the ancestral temple of a certain dynasty in the ancient Shu State of Sanxingdui. It is the only bronze altar of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties unearthed in China so far. It is also the most representative, pattern and craftsmanship found in China so far. One of the most exquisite and complex bronzes. The nearby "Emperor Tianhou Earth, Dance of Man and God-Sacrifice Ceremony" simulates the tall altar, the towering altar, the worshiping crowd, and the fire in the sky.

Sanxingdui Museum can be said to be the most shocking of all my museum visits. I was amazed at the inconceivable civilization of ancient Shu and the creative ingenuity and exquisite craftsmanship of the ancestors of ancient Shu. The shock of the objects is far beyond what pictures and words can describe. I lingered in front of various exhibits and refused to leave for a long time. When my friends saw that I was so obsessed, they also specially took me around the archaeological site to find out.

In the evening, my friend took me to Liu Mingji's mother's rabbit head. While drinking fresh beer, I ate the rabbit skull. I said that Sichuan people eat 300 million rabbits every year, and those who can eat are all expert kissers! The first time I saw Rabbit Head, I still rejected it very much. Rabbit Head looked a little scared, and I remember the most impressive line in the movie was,"How can I eat Rabbit, Rabbit Rabbit is so cute?!" Under my friend's repeated insistence, I stretched out my hands trembling and didn't dare to look directly into the rabbit's eyes. I closed my eyes and ate it. Unexpectedly, the meat inside was fresh, fragrant and oily. The meat was full, tender and spicy, salty and fresh. The more you eat, the more spicy, the more you drink, the more greedy you drink. Old friends gathered together, chewing the rabbit head with this beer, and an authentic roasted brain flower, which was very in line with the slow-paced life of Sichuan. Moreover, the rabbit head has high nutritional value and low fat content. It's delicious and doesn't easily get fat. It's definitely a good choice for summer dinner.

June 3

Metro Line 2 Xipu Station and change to the city railway, you can go directly to Dujiangyan Lidui Park Station. Today's weather is gloomy, the temperature has dropped sharply, and there is a strong wind blowing. I feel the chill as soon as I go out. Fortunately, I had a meal of blood at noon. It added a lot of warmth. In the afternoon, I decided to arrange indoor activities. I heard that Rongchuangmao in Dujiangyan has a real-life version of "Inception of the Dream" online bookstore-Zhong Shuge, so I might as well go there and have a stroll!

"It rises because of weirs and thrives because of water." Zhongshuge's design inspiration comes from the magnificent dam in Dujiangyan. It relies on cleverly placed mirrors and sparkling black tile floors to create an amazing illusion. The mirror ceiling simulates infinite openness and extension. When you push open the glass door of the Zhongshuge's character curtain wall, you feel like you are Alice who has fallen into a fairyland. This is a "Hogwarts" magic castle, with simple walnut C-shaped bookshelves in irregular circles. The unique and vivid arc cleverly separates the various areas and shuttles under the huge bookshelf, more like walking in a maze of books. Walking and stopping, I feel that time slows down a lot. Through the winding and deep bookshelf walls, the picture book area is suddenly revealed. Here, cute pandas are decorated, and small colored cushions of different shapes are stacked into hills, creating an exclusive reading space for children, which is cute and dreamy.

Arriving in the Central Literature District, the book walls are towering and towering, like super "city walls", and the bookstands scattered among them are like "ships" quietly anchored on the lake, paddling and floating between the bookshelf walls. Although the books at the highest position of the bookshelf are purely decorative, it is said that there are 80,000 books that readers can touch. The bookshelves stand and overlap, and the 180-degree mirror image contrast between the top and bottom makes it difficult to tell the difference between reality and reality. The arched bookshelves are like the towering skeleton of a future three-dimensional city. They reflect magical graphics in the mirror. Looking along the square holes between the bookshelves, you can see different scenery. You can climb up the stairs in a spiral manner, and each corner, each step presents a winding path leading to the tranquility. Looking down from a high place on the reading corridor on the second floor, you can more feel the majestic momentum of the space. The light and shadow are intertwined, and the whole space presents a sense of chaos in time and space. It is indeed much stronger than Shanghai Zhongshuge.

The beauty of Dujiangyan belongs to the day, but also to the night. The night view of Dujiangyan can be described as "magnificent". The fusion of modern optoelectronic technology and ancient buildings lights up the romantic night of the city. Even the giant pandas in Dujiangyan sprouted out of the sky. They actually lay on the Yangtianwo Square and took a selfie. This giant panda lying on his back for a selfie is 26 meters long, 11 meters wide, 12 meters high, weighs 130 tons, and is fixed by more than 3 million lacquered stainless steel wires. It lies comfortably with its head on its hands, with its fat feet on its feet, holding a pink selfie stick, and takes a selfie next to the rainbow staircase. Isn't its relaxed expression and leisurely attitude just like a leisurely Sichuanese?

During the day, the South Bridge is like a plain girl, calm and elegant. At night, the South Bridge is more like a young woman with heavy makeup. It is full of richness and full of unspeakable charm. The lights reflect the Minjiang River water into a soft blue color, exuding a dreamy temperament. The roar of the Minjiang River is deafening, the river is surging, and the flowing water is like a brocade floating into the distance. Find a quiet corner by the resplendent South Bridge to blow the wind, and quietly watch the golden lights, dark blue night sky. The blue river water rolled away, seemingly unable to feel the passage of time.

West Street has a history of hundreds of years. Even after a major earthquake, the buildings that have been preserved for hundreds of years have not been destroyed. Looking around, it stretches all the way to the mountains. On both sides are ancient houses, which have a sense of the times. Moving songs float from the streets and alleys, red lanterns are hung high under the eaves, and the lights are shining brightly. In the blurred night, the Yangliu River flows slowly, and the ancient city of Guanxian is full of brilliance. What you can feel here is the original western Sichuan and the "Old Chengdu" of Bashi. The most popular fireworks of the city is naturally delicious food. You must go and try Taipingzhang glutinous rice. The ancient method is brown sugar and real material. The glutinous rice wine is mellow and strong, soft, glutinous and elastic, and the poached eggs are just right. Hand-made dumplings, hand-rolled dough is strong, and the stuffing is juicy and thick. Sesame is dotted in the mouth, and the dipping is sweet and slightly spicy.

The curtains were pulled open in the morning, and the blue sky swept away the haze of the previous day. A bowl of authentic fat sausage hot and sour noodles filled me with vitality. Then I went to say good morning to the cute "self-portrait giant panda", and I passed through the east gate of Guanxian Ancient City, walk through the south bridge, and head towards Dujiangyan Scenic Area. Everyone knows the famous Dujiangyan. It is one of the few cities in the world that integrates world irrigation engineering heritage, world cultural heritage, and world natural heritage. However, when it comes to its former name, Guan County, it is not necessarily known to most people. Guan County began in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is an ancient city accompanied by a thousand-year-old weir. It has scenery in the city, a city in the scenery, and a mountain and a half city. It has unique characteristics of "water culture". It has gone through the extraordinary years of "golden and iron horses". It has been a battleground for military forces since ancient times. West Street is the starting point of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and Xiguan is the throat fortress leading to Songmao area. Entering from the "Xuanhua Gate" of the East Gate Tower, the antique buildings on both sides of the street live on the water. The Yangliu River passes through it. Next to the South Street Mosque is the West Street. The Sanbaidong Covered Bridge is unique, and the surging Minjiang River water is divided into two. The three characters "Tianfuyuan" on the front of the bridge immediately brought people into the situation of water control in those years.

The South Bridge, formerly known as the "Puji Bridge", was built in the fourth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1878). The bridge is about 133 meters long and has been damaged many times. It was repaired again in 1979 and was restored and rebuilt after the 2009 earthquake. It is known as the "First Bridge in Jiangyuan". There is a saying among the people: "Step on the South Bridge, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the grain will be abundant." The majestic and magnificent corridor ancient bridge stands upright between South Street and Fuxing Street. Diaoliang and painted buildings, folk colored sculptures, and couplets of calligraphy and painting are integrated here. It is known as the "Water Painting Building". The bridge head pavilions have cornices piercing the air. Diaoliang and painted buildings, the bridge body is painted and dazzling. Looking up at the roof, it reproduces classic pictures such as "Hai Rui Dismissal from Official Office","Water Overflows the Golden Mountain", and "Sun Wukong Threatened the Bone Bones". They are of different shapes, lifelike and beautiful.

The Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project was built in the late years of King Zhao of Qin Dynasty (About 256 - 251 BC), it was organized and built by Li Bing, the prefect of Shu Prefecture, and created a new era in the history of ancient China's water conservancy. It is by far the oldest, only surviving, still in continuous use, and characterized by water diversion without dams. Although it is not as vast as the Great Wall, its shocking power in the history of human civilization is absolutely not inferior. As a result, Li Bing ranks first among the 100 scientists in ancient China. More than 2,000 years passed in a flash. The world is changing and the world is changing. Although the mountains and rivers have changed several times, Dujiangyan is still majestic and magical. It still plays an endless role in flood control and irrigation, nourishing the vast acres of fertile farmland in the land of abundance. The irrigation area has reached more than 30 counties and cities, covering an area of nearly 10 million acres.

Entering the scenic area and walking forward, I heard the sound of gurgling running water. Looking after the sound of water, I saw a circular fountain coming into view. Water columns were sprayed high into an arch and poured on the iron pillars lying on the ground. Splastered with water. These horizontal iron pillars are called horizontal iron pillars, which are a symbol of the annual maintenance and clearing of the river bed of the Neijiang River. It is said that when Li Bing built the weir, he buried stone horses under the river bed of the Neijiang River, which serves as the standard for the depth of the beach every year. Later, it evolved into horizontal iron. The existing four horizontal irons were buried in the fourth year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, the third year of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty, the 16th year of the Republic of China and 1994. They are known as the "water-fixing needle" of Dujiangyan. The four horizontal irons seen at the fountain are replicas. The authentic ones are still buried under the riverbed of the Neijiang River and hidden in the surging river. The fountain is surrounded by chaps and stone bamboo cages, which are used as cofferdams. Both bamboo cages and chaps are good water control tools. They have been used for more than 2,000 years. It reproduces the superb wisdom of ancient people to use local materials to block and intercept rivers.

There is a Longyin Gully on the left and right sides of Yangong Road. A total of 248 dragon heads, large and small, spit water into the ditch. The water in the ditch originates from the Minjiang River and flows directly under the lying iron. The Zhangsong Ginkgo on the right has been 1800 years old. It is still luxuriant and green. When competing for the "Tianfu Tree King" in 2004, it won the honor of "Top Ten Famous Piles". It is also the prototype of the ginseng fruit tree in "Ginseng Stealing Fruit" in the 80th edition of "Journey to the West". The tree is 6.3 meters high and the tree circumference is as wide as 5 meters. The two trunks stand side by side at the bottom of the trunk, merge into one at a height of 1 meter, and then the branches diverge and grow horizontally. On the trunk, main branches, and branches, there are many ginkgo bamboo shoots hanging, shaped like stalactites. This is actually a tree tumor that grows slowly over time.

The water conservancy project lasted for eight years and was composed of water diversion fish mouth, flying sand weir, treasure bottle mouth and other parts. The fish mouth diversion embankment mainly divided the Minjiang River water into two, and the flying sand weir spillway discharged excess floods and quicksand into the outer river. treasure bottle mouth is responsible for the self-regulation of the water diversion outlet. It is the main switch of the gravity irrigation canal system. The three major projects complement each other, integrate and operate in a coordinated manner, jointly playing the role of diverting water and irrigation, flood diversion and disaster reduction, sand discharge and prevention. Human water control concepts have shifted from "avoiding water hazards" to "seeking water conservancy", and water control capabilities have been unprecedentedly innovated and developed.

Baopingkou Water Diversion Project

The Minjiang River was surging endlessly and wild. After investigation, Li Bing and his son decided to dig through Yulei Mountain to divert water. Without explosives at that time, if there were no explosives, it would take at least 30 years to dig it through with a hammer. Li Bing came up with fire and water pouring method, using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to break the rocks, speeding up the project progress. Eight years later, a mountain pass with a width of 20 meters, a height of 40 meters, and a length of 80 meters-"Baopingkou" was finally dug in Yulei Mountain, the piece of mountain left in the center of the river. That is to say, the stone pile separated from Yulei Mountain is called "Lidui". Fulongguan is built based on the low terrain in front of the Lidui ridge and high back. It is suspended on three sides. The excavation of Yulei Mountain balances the river water on the east and west sides of the Minjiang River. The flow rate not only alleviates the flood disaster in the west, but also relieves the drought in the east. This is a key link in controlling the flood problem and is also the first step of the Dujiangyan Project.

Yuzui Water Diversion Project

The main drainage method of the Dujiangyan Project is that in order to allow the Minjiang River water to flow eastward smoothly and maintain a certain flow rate, Li Bing built a diversion weir in the Minjiang River. The front end of the diversion weir is shaped like a "fish mouth", dividing the rushing river water upstream into two: In the west is the Outer River, which is the normal flow of the Minjiang River and is mainly used for flood discharge. In the east is the Inner River, which flows into the Baopingkou. It is an artificial water diversion channel and is mainly used for irrigation. The Inner River is narrow and deep, and the Outer River is wide and shallow. The water level in the dry season is low. 60% of the river water flows into the Inner River with the low river bed, ensuring water use in the Chengdu Plain. In the flood season, the water level is high, and most of the river water is discharged from the Outer River with the wider river surface. This design of automatically allocating the water volume of the inner and outer rivers is called" Four-Six Diversion". Water diversion from the fish mouth can be regarded as the essence of Dujiangyan.

Feisha Weir Flood Overflow and Sand Discharge Project

In order to further control the amount of water flowing into the Baopingkou and prevent the amount of water in the irrigation area from changing rapidly, Li Bing built a flat water channel and a "flying sand weir" spillway at the tail of the Yuzui diversion embankment near the Baopingkou. A bend was built in front of the spillway, and the river water formed a circulation. When the river water exceeded the weir top, the flood flowed into the outer river through the flat water channel and flowed into the outer river, ensuring that the irrigation area of the Neijiang River was protected from floods. At the same time, the water flowing into the outer river through the flying sand weir created a whirlpool. Under centrifugal action, mud, sand and even huge rocks will be thrown through the flying sand weir, effectively reducing the deposition of sediment around the mouth of the treasure bottle. In order to observe and control the amount of water in the Neijiang River, Li Bing carved three stone pile portraits and placed them in the water to determine the water level with the principle that "the low water does not flood enough, and the flood does not exceed the shoulder". He chiseled stone horses and placed them in the center of the river as the minimum amount of water every year. The standard for clearing beaches during the minimum amount of water.

The Anlan Cable Bridge on the Yuzui Water Diversion Embankment in Dujiangyan was built before the Song Dynasty. It is the oldest existing cable bridge in China. It is known as the "Five Great Bridges in Ancient China". It has a total length of 261 meters. It flies between the north and south of the Minjiang River. It was originally supported by wooden rafts and stone piers, hanging across the river surface with thick bamboo cables, and laying wooden boards on the bridge deck. Bamboo ropes are used as fences on both sides. It is steep and firm. People walk on it, swinging violently, and shaking left and right, overlooking the rapids and dangerous shoals, river valley sand and sand. It is thrilling and exciting. The people who built this rope bridge were a civilian couple, so it is also called the "Couples Bridge", which contains the beauty of "walking on the bridge will be sweet forever."

Qinyan Tower is named after Dujiangyan was built in the Qin Dynasty. It stands against a mountain and stands on the bank of the river. It is majestic and spectacular. It is the best position to view the panoramic view of Dujiangyan. Chairman Mao stood here in 1958 and climbed the Qinyan Tower. Looking at the top, you can have a panoramic view of Dujiangyan's three major water conservancy projects, Anlan Bridge, Erwang Temple, Ancient Post Road, and Yulei Xiongguan. It is very spectacular. Bathed in the soft mountain breeze, you can see peaks, surging rivers, and the green color is getting stronger.

Erwang Temple was a temple built in memory of Li Bing and his son during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The people felt their kindness and spontaneously paid homage. The incense has flourished since ancient times. There are many stone inscriptions on the mountain walls that illustrate Dujiangyan's experience in water control, with the words "Deep Tao Beach, Low Construction Weir", etc., known as the 82-character "Three-Character Sutra" for water control. It is still the guideline followed by Dujiangyan's water control. The entire building complex is hidden in the depths, with ancient trees towering into the sky, and only a few pavilions are exposed. There are a few white walls. There are also pavilions scattered deep in the dense forest. On the cliff side of the mountains.

Exit Erwang Temple and continue to move forward along the Songmao Ancient Road. Turn around and see green everywhere. Follow the road and come to Yulei Pass. It is the key pass of the ancient Western Sichuan Plain, one of the nine gate towers in the ancient city of Guanxian County, and a scenic spot next to the ancient weir for more than a thousand years. It is known in history as the "Lock Key to Western Sichuan". Yulei Pass's flying eaves and horns are majestic and magnificent. You can look down at Dujiangyan and look at the vast Qingcheng Mountain. You can also take the climbing escalator to the top of Yulei Pavilion. You can see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dujiangyan at the high point of Dujiangyan.

West Street is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with wooden walls and black tiles, green trees, and gurgling river water flowing through the street. It is quite the characteristic of a small town in western Sichuan. It is the first street of the ancient tea-horse road in western Sichuan with a history of hundreds of years. The alleys are inhabited by the older generation of West Street people, the streets and alleys, and the prosperous market that has lasted for thousands of years. Climb the ancient wall of the Ming Dynasty, stand on it level with the roof, side by side with the blue sky, and along the road with blue stone slabs, there are a wide variety of specialty shops. When you are tired, you can make a signature noodles at Linji Zha noodles. The thick red oil floods the mountain, and the top of the mountain is covered with white crispy chicken residue. Mix well and eat it. The noodles are neither soft nor hard and chewy. Coupled with the aroma of red oil and meat, they are spicy and fresh.

Before I had enough food, I left the West Street and ran to the Taipo dumplings on the main street. The store mainly served as dumplings, and the dumplings were not big. The skin of the dumplings were very thin, revealing the tender red color of the meat filling powder. There is only one kind of meat filling, but the seasoning is very innovative. The three flavors of spicy, pickled cabbage and seafood in the single set meal are all very good, and the taste is very delicious.

My friend made a special trip to Dujiangyan to pick me up and took me back to Chengdu to visit Chunxi Road. Today, Chunxi Road is not only Chunxi Road, but also Tai Koo Li and IFS next to it, which constitute the most prosperous business district in Chengdu. The famous "Wall-climbing Panda" lies on the outer wall of IFS, facing Hongxing Road Pedestrian Street. It is about 15 meters high. It seems that it has just escaped from the wild into the city and is full of curiosity about the prosperous world. You can see the panda on the open platform on the seventh floor of the mall. On the front, its big face is stupid and cute. The shape is more like a building block, made up of nearly 4,000 triangular members.

Chengdu Ocean Taikoili's status has now surpassed that of Chunxi Road. It is high-quality, high-quality, and literary and artistic. Beautiful women are gathered, dressed in fashion, and street photographers are stationed every day. As senior craft gourmets, my friend naturally wants to be a host. Take me to experience the most stylish craft bar in Chengdu Taikoili-FOAM RANGER Foam Ranger. This is one of the most representative craft bars in China. The 50 top craft draft beers are dazzling. My friend ordered two cups of representative fruit MSG beer, which is suitable for girls. The wine body has rich foam and the aroma is fragrant. It is mixed with malt aroma, wine aroma and unique compound fruit aroma. They can't wait to suck on the foam. The bubble entrance is particularly delicate and smooth. Take another sip of the beer, it is delicious and rich. The beer is reminisced in your mouth for a while. First, it has the aroma of malt, and then turns into a mouthful of fruit aroma after swallowing it. Here, you can also feel the creative Western food that incorporates Sichuan characteristics-Sichuan-style French fries. The sauce is classic Mapo tofu flavor. The taste is unique and novel. It is very coordinated as a accompaniment to craft beer.

We all know that Chengdu is famous for hot pot. In fact, compared to hot pot, I prefer to eat Chuanchuanxiang. Each skewer has a small portion of dishes, but it is better than the rich dishes. It is undoubtedly the first choice for girls with small appetites who like to try a variety of dishes. The C position of Chuanchuanxiang must be given to Xiaojun Liver Chuanchuanxiang in District 5 of the Steel Pipe Factory founded in 1987. The signature is not expensive even to supporting the wall. You must recognize the portrait of a steelmaker wearing sunglasses. Only with these logos are authentic. This brand is really unknown to everyone in Chengdu. Its popularity and reputation are first-class. It has a black casserole with pure butter hot pot. The dry dish is the soul of the string. The oil dish is the companion of the butter bottom. Take whatever you want. There are dozens of string strings in the store, and they are all fresh ingredients when you reach it. The signature specialty of Xiaojun liver and plump head are carried out one by one. The taste is crispy, tender, tender and tender. It cannot be stopped. Come down, coriander beef and folded ear beef are also classics. The beef is tender and smooth and melted into dregs in the mouth, the coriander has a strong flavor at the ears of the ears, and the shape of the fat sausage knots is novel. His fresh tripe is even more unique. The tripe is bigger than a palm. The "seven up and eight down" formula burns it to its crisp taste.

Only after eating hot pot Sichuan cuisine can you understand what it means to worry about it. If hot pot Sichuan cuisine is too formal, there are still a hundred ways to satisfy you in Chengdu snacks. Hot pot alone can give rise to countless delicacies: too few people can't eat too much, there are skewers; it's too troublesome to cook while eating, there are cold-pot skewers; it's too hot and you don't want to eat hot, there are bowpo chicken; if you eat alone, there are maocai; I don't like dripping oil soup, but there are dry pots... In Chengdu, you don't have to worry about what you eat every day, you just need to worry about how to lose weight if you eat fat?! Unconsciously, it was time to leave Chengdu again. I was still reluctant to part with the delicious food here. Today, I specially gave up the hotel breakfast just to go to the roadside stall and taste the market snack that I have been thinking about day and night-Guokui. Juntun Guokui has a long history and is famous inside and outside Sichuan. It has layers of crispy skin, and the outer skin melts into the dregs in the mouth. Every bite is full of aroma. It is crispy and crispy, fragrant but not greasy. The surface is crispy and the inside is soft. The sesame pepper is mixed with the aroma of pork. The meat can be seen in the mouth and the lips and teeth are fragrant. The delicacy makes people have no time to care about the image, so eat it while it is hot.

Taking advantage of the short half a day before going to the airport, I couldn't help but walk around Kuanzhai Alley and Wuhou Temple. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the night, I still like the ancient alleys in the morning. This is what I think it looks like. It is antique, quiet and romantic, and I stroll around slowly. The major buildings on the street with simple shapes, exquisite designs, and a combination of Chinese and Western. It is worth stopping at any time to think about it.

Kailu is one of the most iconic doorsteps in the wide and narrow alleys. The courtyard door is built with special blue bricks to form an arched house door with a curved shape. A traditional Chinese stone plaque is embedded above the door entrance. The plaque is engraved with a big seal seal character."Kailu". The oval pattern above the stone plaque represents the hanging "evil mirror", which is intended to deter demons from all walks of life and protect the safety of the family forever. The horse tying stone is located on the old wall at the head of Gate 32 of the narrow alley. It is an antique from the Qing Dynasty. It is a symbolic expression of northern culture in western Sichuan. It is about 1.2 meters above the ground and has been weathered and mottled. It is one of the three remaining horse tying stones in the narrow alley. It is now covered with tempered glass to protect it. The horse tying stone holding the stone horse next to it is a replica. When Chengdu was rebuilding the wide and narrow alleys, 40,000 bricks of different ages were collected. On the south side of the Jingli alley, these bricks were used to build brick walls along the street. The brick walls were inlaid with inkjet photos, and the inkjet photos were also embossed to build a brick cultural wall and folk photo wall that displayed the history, culture and folk customs of old Chengdu. It is a reproduction of old Chengdu in the market and the first museum using bricks as the carrier in my country. Old bricks with different historical sections have been created through artistic creation. Condensing thousands of years of Chengdu's history, each wall is engraved with a historical memory.

I believe that every tourist who comes to Wuhou Temple to check in will not miss the red-walled bamboo forest here. On both sides of Huiling Gate, there are two red walls that form a winding road. The place where you turn always gives people a deep feeling of the corridor. Moss has grown over the years. The sun shines through the bamboo forest and reflects on the mottled tree shadows on the wall. Red, green, and vaguely visible blue sky and white clouds. The three colors are so harmonious in the same picture. Strolling through the bamboo shadows on the red walls is like traveling through ancient times. Feeling the beauty of tranquility in this quiet morning has a unique flavor (Internet photo).

How comfortable and lazy life in Chengdu is. Look at the people living here and you can know that they exude a leisurely temperament. They always hold an attitude of "it's your business" and live their own comfortable life. They also created a word called "Bashi" to describe themselves. You never go to Sichuan when you are young and never leave Sichuan when you are old. Life requires rhythm. The word "slow" has made Chengdu leisure. Chengdu has a magic that attracts you, making you not want to leave when you come.
