Wang Xiaobo said:

It is not enough for a person to have this life,

He should also have a poetic world.

Many people know this sentence, but few people know the latter part:

For me, this world is in Chang 'an City.

I have traveled many nights, but only Xi'an is so strong:

The fireworks and markets of the city, the rush and enthusiasm of travelers;

The retrogression and change of time, the inheritance and precipitation of culture.

If I could, I'm afraid I really hope,

In Chang 'an, in the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, come to a romantic encounter where you dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty.

Before I came to Xi'an, I only knew:

Xi'an is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties and the starting point of the Silk Road. One million years ago, ancient humans in Lantian built settlements here;7000 years ago, during the Yangshao Culture period, the embryonic form of a city wall appeared here; 13 dynasties including Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang established their capitals here.

Here we have witnessed the prosperity of too many great powers and the rise and fall of honor and disgrace. When we stand on the bank of time and look back, across the long river of history, Chang 'an City sits in the northwest and reciting a poem of ups and downs.

Chang 'an, with dreamlike poetry, will you feel deeply when you mention it,

If you meet Chang 'an overnight, you will be deeply affectionate.

This is my first time in Xi'an.

After trekking, I most want to know Chang 'an in the depths of prosperity.

What kind of city and story are woven day after day,

What kind of customs, what kind of customs, and what kind of scenery to paint

The first night. clothing, food

Every city has its own customs

Walking into a city and feeling its customs,

Start Chang 'an night from food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Of course, don't walk in easily,

I was afraid that you would accidentally fall into trouble.

Some people are in a hurry and some are panicked, but the pace of Xi'an never changes-[Xing] In Chang' an

Traveling in Chang 'an--

The plane slowly landed through the clouds,

Xianyang Airport welcomes and sends passengers in a hurry,

As Flight 11 approached, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was printed on the orange taxi door during the moderate rain in Xi'an. It looked interesting and poetic. The master told him to get on the bus and scan the code. The response to the epidemic was more stringent than Shenyang. On the way, the master introduced Xi'an's customs, attractions and food happily in a passionate Shaanxi accent. I sat on the side and listened with gusto.

What I didn't expect was that this was the easiest taxi I had in the past five days:

Traffic in Xi'an is so crazy

--Especially on rainy days. To be honest, I only encountered a two-hour queue during the evening rush hour in Shanghai's Kintesu Railway.

But Xi'an surpassed Shanghai on its own.

Fortunately, everything else makes people linger.

02

See the customs of Chang 'an women and appreciate the minds of northwest men.

--Chang 'an of [Clothing]

Chang 'an Clothing--

I have never seen a city where girls wear red hairpins and flowers fall from their temples.

I have never seen a city where teenagers danced in Han costumes,

I have never seen a city, and everything is as natural as it is.

Even if you go to Chang 'an's big-name store to have a meal, the waiter's little brother and little sister are all dressed in beautiful clothes-although a big-name store mixes various dynasties of the Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties.

The father-in-law with eyeliner painted at the door and holding floating dust shouted: Please come in!

A fairy wearing a Song suit and a veil hanging over her ears at the door leaned forward: Take care this way!

You look, you taste, you laugh, you love,

It feels as comfortable as you are.

If you come to Chang 'an, you must wear Han clothes,

Take a walk along the long street of history and dream of returning to the prosperous world.

You have everything you want here. -- [Food] In Chang 'an

Eating in Chang 'an--

Chang 'an's food is unique: diverse snacks, colorful staple foods, and colorful sweets
Whether it is Tangmao Courtyard where you must check in, Chang 'an's big-name store, or the Wei Family Liangpi and Lao Mi Family Paomo on the street, Xi'an's customs are vividly reflected in a bowl of food.

Hot and exciting

I never thought peppers would appear in food so frequently.

Whether it is rice flour skin or biangbiang noodles (forgive me for not finding this word)

Or a cute looking thousand-layer oil tower,

Arriving at the hotel, there was a Wei Family Liangpi on the roadside. He put down his luggage and walked in

I thought cold rice noodles were cold rice noodles, but when I arrived in Xi'an, I discovered that one "skin" actually has so many tricks-I ordered a bowl of dough noodles and specifically said it was slightly spicy, but a layer of chili peppers came up. I was really surprised.

Take a sip, and the taste is completely different from the cold rice noodles in Northeast China:

It is all because of this thick layer of pepper that stimulates the unique taste of salty and spicy fragrance.

The uniqueness of fragrance

In restaurants in the streets and alleys of Xi'an, a dish that cannot be separated from is called gourd chicken.

Its fragrance is something that can spread out even from a long distance. Accompanied by four unique dips of sour plum, green pepper, mashed garlic and dried pepper, a bite of chicken leaves a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, which is far from what ordinary fried chicken can compare with. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. One bite makes me, a lifelong weight-loss person, can't help but pick up a few more chopsticks.

I also finally understood:

Oh, it turns out that gourd chicken is not related to gourd,

Instead, put it on half a gourd-shaped plate and even carefully attached it to you:

Taste your wings first, spread your wings and fly high;

Try your legs again and make progress;

After eating the chest, dip in the four flavors to taste each.

Obviously, with my character, I don't care about the order at all, and I do things three times and five times.

Xi'an's meat is fragrant, but Xi'an's roujiamo is even more fragrant

--This solid meat makes people feel really uncomfortable.

After taking a bite, you feel full of happiness, the skin is crispy to the point of dregs, the beef is fragrant to the point of fainting,

This taste is delicious in one bite.

sweet softness

Since the broadcast of Empress Sun Li's drama, mirror cake has become a delicacy that I have always coveted.

Whether it's a restaurant or a snack stall, mirror cakes are everywhere and have been improved and innovated.

Such as yogurt mirror cake, ice cream mirror cake,

But if you ask me, no additions are as delicious and sweet as the original mirror cake.

Layer by layer, layer by layer is different, with the sweetness of dates, the stickiness of rice, and the waxy of beans.

In addition to mirror cakes, there must be yellow rice cakes for Guanzhong Xiaowen.

Every time I hold the bowl in my arms and eat it empty.

Among Xi'an snacks, sweetness is an indispensable taste.

After all, who can not love Xi'an's calm but not boring slightly sweet and soft?

It's weird

Xi'an's dishes are strange, with novel dips, unknown flavors,

The strangest thing is that there are many dishes and snacks from Internet celebrities here.

Feizixiao, brush crisp, thirteen yao, and strange small food on the street.

Sometimes in Xi'an, what you eat is not food, but an interesting and curious meal,

A plate of oddly shaped vegetables emitting white smoke was served by a waiter dressed in Chinese clothes and shouted: Please enjoy your meal!

The next step is not to think about eating, but to think, come on, let me take a picture!

Each restaurant seems to blend ancient and modern, regional and differences.

It comes wearing beautiful clothes. When this uniqueness collides and explodes in your mouth,

As long as it tastes okay, you will say with satisfaction:

Hey, it's actually not bad!

In Xi'an, you can appreciate all flavors,

Her flavor is always new.

04

She will give you the feeling you want in a hundred ways.

--[Live] in Chang 'an

Living in Chang 'an--

I live in the north of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, facing the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant on the top floor is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and there is also a telescope next to it.

There were several moments when I worked overtime until midnight, carrying my clothes to the top-floor laundry room. When the washing machine rumbled, I sat in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows at midnight, quietly looking at the silent glowing Big Wild Goose Pagoda not far away. The surroundings were dark, the hall was quiet, and there was a slight sound of machines operating in the laundry room not far away. That moment was a rare leisure time after a busy day of class. Watching the glow of the Wild Goose Pagoda quietly was like reading the deep and long history of her.

If I had to say where I lived in Xi'an, I think it must be near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Because here, you can see her.

The tranquility of the day, the warmth of the evening, the carnival at night and the tranquility at midnight,

Just like the Xi'an in my impression.

The second night. Midnight day

A city has its own style

Walking into a city, embracing her style,

From day to midnight, never sleep;

Have a wanton encounter and never return until you get drunk.

The people of a city are the soul of this city.

--The simplicity of day

The simplicity of day

I am used to getting up early, and I don't have much chance to go around during the day when I'm on business trips.

Even late at night is only one of the few nights, but the simple Xi'an still left a warm impression on me. There are enthusiastic drivers, travel suggestions from convenience store owners, and lovely moments when I meet in the restaurant. Warm waiters, even the hotel's younger brothers ask about their well-being-Chang' an simply shows everyone its beauty during the day.

The day in the northwest is warm and simple.

The legacy of the Tang Dynasty touches your shoulders through history. --The enchanting evening

The enchanting evening

At the beginning of the lights, a city is reflected in a different style. A city is surrounded by red and is warm and enchanting. Enthusiastic people lively the ancient city and high-rise buildings, and there are beautiful scenes everywhere.

Star bridges and lanterns, the sea of talents and beautiful women, the Tang Dynasty's sleepless city was bustling with people and lively. If you want to think about the night of the Tang Dynasty, this should be the case.

Chang 'an is like a graceful woman with heavy makeup and elegant clothes. After dressing up, she hangs up the lanterns, opens her arms, and embraces everyone drunk in Chang' an. The night wind blows by, and there are children running in Xuanzhuang Square laughing, lovers hugging each other in soft words, friends taking pictures, playing and laughing,

But she only looked, said nothing, and only smiled faintly, which was extremely enchanting.

The evening in Xi'an is full of charming customs.

At midnight, night falls, and there is a city accompanying you. --The silence of midnight

The silence of midnight

No matter how beautiful the city that never sleeps, there is a moment to come to an end.

At midnight, the crowd dispersed, but the lights remained. The street without the crowd was calm and peaceful.

There will be people with stories looking at the flickering light spots of Wild Goose Pagoda in the distance at midnight in Xi'an. There will also be hard-working sanitation cleaning up the noisy street all night. The cats in the snack shop lie quietly at the door under the street lights. Sleep quietly, the owners yawned and closed the store door, and everything returned to chaos. The city was as quiet as if nothing had happened during the day.

In the entire city, only the Yanta, Bell and Drum Tower stands tall,

It is calm and quiet, with the depth of history and Chang 'an's tolerance.

Midnight in Xi'an hides deep affection.

When a city has people, it has a soul.

Whether it is a dimly lit street or a peaceful night of singing and dancing,

It's all because of the noisy and enthusiastic crowd in Chang 'an City that harmonizes into a unique style.

The third night. Smile at ancient and modern times

Each city has its own scenery

Walking into a city and enjoying its scenery,

Although we haven't left yet, we are already happy.

Of course, the Terracotta Warriors still have to go,

Next time, I will make an appointment.

Walking on the wall, walking through the mottled history. --Thick ancient city walls

Thick ancient city walls

After walking through Shuyuan Gate Wenchuang Street and buying a bunch of small bits and pieces, I saw the ancient city wall.

Climbing the tower and cycling around it is like wandering around in the cycle of history.

The moment I stepped on the ground, I thought that this city wall has a history of hundreds of years.

Having witnessed time here, everything has changed, but nothing seems to have changed.

The history of a city is the history of a nation.

In the evening light, the city wall stands tall, and the thickness is not just the city wall.

The city's customs are all in Furong. --Beautiful Furong Garden

Beautiful Furong Garden

The long-standing royal garden was built in the third year of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

Later, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty carried out a large-scale expansion, making it unprecedented and reaching the peak of garden construction. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, with the destruction of Chang 'an City, Furong Garden disappeared beyond trace.   

It is said that today's Tang Dynasty Furong Garden was built on the ruins of the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden. The pavilions, pavilions and arch bridge corridors inside are all imitations based on pictures from historical documents. The Tang-style ancient buildings in the park rank first in the country in terms of architectural scale. It is simply a complete textbook of Tang Dynasty architecture.   

The best thing is the night in the Furong Garden of the Tang Dynasty. The solemn and dignified Furong Garden during the day suddenly changed at night.

Gorgeous lights swayed on the water,

Everywhere you walk, you can see beautiful scenery, but when you look up, you are full of surprises.

Under the flowing water, it is full of colorful lights and customs.

Chang 'an stays overnight and never stops. --Warm city that never sleeps

Warm city that never sleeps

City that never sleeps, literally, Xi'an seems to have no night.

Especially the Tang Dynasty City that never sleeps, when the sky turned dark, it first transformed into Chang 'an.

Returning to the Tang Dynasty, Chang 'an was filled with lights and prosperity.

The sky is about to dusk, the lights are bright, and the night in Chang 'an is as color as day.

When you come to Xi'an, you must not miss the City that Never Sleeps. Whether you are a street vendor or a taxi driver, everyone tells you that you must go and visit. After watching the world's largest music fountain from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, feeling the fusion of history and modernity and the surging crowds, they followed the crowd all the way south through the performance of Miss Internet celebrity tumbler, passing through Xuanzhuang Square along the way and walking among the crowd. Just past is the Zhuying Star Bridge, the dazzling Sleepless City Pedestrian Street.

Lights that are clearly extinguished, beauties with exquisite makeup, travelers with smiling faces, floats and performances, a street runs through ancient and modern times.

Buy a Tang Cat mask and hang it in your hair room,

Don't hide an exquisite gourd around your waist,

Holding a scholarly folding fan and waving it in front of your chest,

You should be walking in Chang 'an, you should be at home in the world.

After a morning of love

Meet Chang 'an in love. ended

A night in Chang 'an, a morning in love

Xi'an's scenery is far more than that,

I hate that the time is too short, the trip is too hasty,

There are endless beautiful scenery and endless delicious food here.

The simple style is fragrant everywhere, and it is always like a dream.

After the hustle and bustle, on the way back to the hotel, a light fell under the midnight overpass.

A person who returned late was squatting on the overpass and lighting a cigarette. He looked at the traffic under the bridge. I didn't know what he was thinking, but the picture was just right there, as if it had been previewed, lonely but unexpectedly comforting the hurried traveler.

The spring breeze is full of galloping horses, and you can see all Chang 'an flowers in one day

Coming in a hurry, passing by,

Chang 'an and I had a romantic encounter, but we had a long time ago, and we were far apart

I've been through many nights, but really,

Only here, the strongest

The river bed where history flows over time leaves Chang 'an in dreams

I walked through the ancient city, leaving behind a morning of greed

0930--Chang 'an Yimeng

I have a wish
