It is said that fireworks set off in Yangzhou in March. In fact, when winter comes here, the green mountains and clear waters stretch far and wide. Walking on Dongguan Street at night, freshly baked buns emit steaming hot air, adding a hint of smoke and fire to the chilly night. It has been many years since I came back to this city, and it is not much different from what I remember. It is still full of a calm and quaint beauty. Fortunately for the trip, Yangzhou was blessed with clear skies for three days every day. Everywhere in the Jiangnan city was lush and green, and it felt like spring had arrived ahead of schedule.

In the Qing Dynasty's "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record", it is written: "Hangzhou wins with its lakes and mountains, Suzhou wins with its four markets, and Yangzhou wins with its gardens and pavilions. The three stand in a balance, without distinction. Strolling through gardens in Hanfu and strolling around the Slender West Lake, experiencing the exquisite craftsmanship of Yangzhou's gardens. In the garden, the fragrance wafted through the cool air, and the wintersweet blossoms bloomed. The wax droplets of goose yellow flowers were extraordinary, as if they were still on withered branches,

In Huang Tingjian's poem, he wrote about wintersweet: Clouds smoke the navel of musk deer, and the color is dyed with rose dew. Brushing against the collar, sometimes there is a subtle fragrance.
Smelling the fragrance of wax plum is truly fortunate.

Riding on the Grand Canal by boat, with open arms, the wind blowing by my ears, as if passing through the past and present of Yangzhou. Visiting the China Grand Canal Museum is so exciting! The best museum of the year in my heart. The entire building is a ship, built on the edge of the canal, with a 360 ° holographic projection reproducing the prosperous era of that time. The naked eye 5D can see the development history of the canal, walking between light and shadow, and immersing oneself in Hanfu style time travel. It's worth spending the whole day well.

Also, Yangzhou is really delicious! Zhu Ziqing has lived in Yangzhou for 13 years since he was seven years old. He said, "Yangzhou is a good place to eat. You can be sure of that. In the morning, you can go to the old teahouse to have morning tea. In the" Sanchun "teahouse, you can have a rich and exquisite Yangzhou dinner in the evening. Yangzhou cuisine is part of Huaiyang Cuisine, which has a history of 1600 years so far.

Yangzhou, which was once prosperous, was a salt trading city that was as rich as an enemy country. It was a beautiful and prosperous place in Zhuxi. Emperor Yang of Sui dug a Grand Canal to admire the beautiful flowers. Qianlong counted Yangzhou, and the eight great families of the Tang and Song dynasties were all fascinated by Yangzhou. What are you waiting for? Come with me and embark on a three-day trip to Yangzhou!

He Yuan, the first garden of the late Qing Dynasty

Wearing Hanfu in the same color as wax plum, strolling through the wealthy merchant's mansion "The First Garden of Late Qing Dynasty" He Garden, jumping and walking, as if traveling back to ancient times.

Heyuan, also known as Wuthering Heights, is a representative garden of Yangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty. The owner of the garden, He Zhizhen, was a Yangzhou gentry who married Li Hongzhang, a prominent minister of the late Qing Dynasty, and Sun Jianai, a teacher of Emperor Guangxu. He built He Garden in the ninth year of Guangxu (1883 AD). Nearly a hundred film and television dramas, including the sequel to the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Princess of the Pearl", and "Marrying the Right Husband in the Wrong Sedan", were filmed here.

Walking through the corridor, one can take shelter from rain on rainy days and shade from the sun on sunny days. Various types of flower windows can be seen in the corridor, forming a flower window belt. Chinese gardens are good at using windows to borrow scenery, with shapes taken from plum blossoms, crabapples, lotus petals, folding fans... The whole garden is divided into four parts: East Garden, West Garden, Garden Residence Courtyard, and Pianshishan Mountain House. There is a water pavilion in the pool for the garden owner to enjoy opera, singing and dancing, and cool off and appreciate the scenery.

The young and old people in the garden live in the Jade Embroidery Building in the south, which is a building that combines Chinese and Western styles. It combines traditional Chinese brick and wood structures with French style louvered doors, windows, fireplaces, and Japanese style sliding doors.

A one week garden tour yields four seasons of harvest

Geyuan can be considered as the oldest, most well preserved, and extraordinary artistic garden in Yangzhou. It is almost a place where everyone who comes to Yangzhou will go to check in, built on Dongguan Street. Built by Huang Zhiyun, a salt merchant from the two Huai regions, in the 23rd year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty (1818 AD), it has now been included in the World Cultural Heritage List, becoming the 46th World Cultural Heritage site in China.

Because the owner of the garden loves bamboo and has planted thousands of bamboo poles in the garden, the name of the garden comes from bamboo. Entering the north gate of my garden, I was greeted by Wan Gan Xiuzhu. There are over 60 types of bamboo in the park. Turtle shell bamboo is the most peculiar bamboo in the garden, with segments resembling turtle shells and dragon scales, with a textured and rough texture, symbolizing longevity and strength.

In addition to bamboo, the garden features pavilions, rockeries, winding paths, serene green grass, deep courtyards, and winding corridors. To take a stroll around a garden and see the seasonal rockeries, craftsmen use different stones to depict the scenery of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In the spring scenery, stalagmites are inserted into bamboo forests, meaning mushrooms after rain; The summer scenery is like stacking lake stones by the lotus pond, while the autumn scenery is like sitting on a yellow stone rockery facing east and west, with undulating peaks and clear autumn air; The snow lion image of stacked snow stones in winter scenery is like white snow. Visiting the park for a week, like every other year

Pishi Street is now a popular cultural check-in spot for internet celebrities

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Pishi Street was once a bustling leather goods street. To the south, it sold soft leather goods such as leather clothes, hats, horseshoe sleeves, and leather blankets. To the north was Beipi Market, which mainly sold hard leather goods such as belts, leather boots, and whips. Nowadays, it has been renovated and become a popular cultural destination for internet celebrities in Yangzhou. Coffee restaurants and cultural and creative businesses have settled in, becoming a street for internet celebrities in Yangzhou. Beautiful young people are all around here

Thin West Lake, winter mist rising

Yu Dafu wrote about the Skinny West Lake in "Yangzhou Old Dream Message Hall"
The benefits of Slender West Lake are all reflected in the interplay of water trees and the twists and turns of the journey; under the shadow of autumn willows, there are red knotweed and green duckweed floating on the surface of the water, and when a flat boat brushes past, the sound of water grass can be heard, as if crying in secret. And after a few twists and turns, the water surface widens, and suddenly comes into view is the White Stone Flat Bridge with five neatly arranged golden pavilions. Although it is shorter than the Golden Ao Jade East, the classical charm of Eastern architecture is fully concentrated on this bridge and these five pavilions

Aerial photography of Slender West Lake is truly beautiful. This slender and long ancient river is connected to the water source of the Grand Canal, with a winding and colorful lake surface. It is both wide and narrow, with intertwined trees on both sides, pavilions, towers, flowers, mountains, and rocks. During the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, a pattern had already formed, earning the reputation of "the prosperity of gardens, unparalleled in the world".

At present, the total area is 2000 acres, with a water area of 700 acres and a tourist area of 100 hectares. It is a national AAAAA level tourist attraction. In 2014, it was included in the World Cultural Heritage List as one of the heritage sites of the Grand Canal of China.

The original name of Shouxi Lake was "Bao'an Lake". During the Qianlong period, the poet Wang Hang from Qiantang came to write a poem called "Ode to Bao'an River" in admiration of its name
The weeping poplar continues to pick up the remnants of Wu, while the Yan toothed Hongqiao resembles a picture of flowers.
It is also a pot of selling gold, so it should be called Shouxi Lake.
The name 'Skinny West Lake' also spread because of this poem.

According to the "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record", there are twenty-four scenic spots in Shouxi Lake, including "two embankments with flowers and willows all leaning against the water, all the way to the mountains" and "more than ten gardens and pavilions combined into one, with a strong momentum". Today, the scenery of Shouxi Lake is mainly divided into 14 major attractions, including the Grand Hongqiao Bridge, Changdi Chunliu, Wuting Bridge, Xiaojin Mountain, White Pagoda, Wangchun Tower, Xichun Terrace, Diaoyutai, etc.

Diaoyutai
The Diaoyu Islands extending over the lake also have a story of Qianlong and Yangzhou.
Diaoyutai, also known as "Blowing Platform", is said to have been used for fishing during the Southern Tour of Emperor Qianlong.

Wuting Bridge
The representative building of Shouxi Lake is one of the top ten famous bridges in ancient China, known as the "most beautiful bridge in China". Built in the 22nd year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, it was modeled after the Wulong Pavilion and Seventeen Arch Bridge in Beihai, Beijing, and was renovated in 1990. The total length of the bridge is 57.99 meters, with a width of 6.16 to 18.77 meters, and the span of the arch ring in the middle of the bridge body is 7.13 meters.

White Tower
During his boat tour of Shouxi Lake, Emperor Qianlong pondered and said to officials in Yangzhou, "This place is really like the spring shade of Qiong Island in the capital city of Beihai, but unfortunately it is missing a white pagoda. As soon as the words fell, the White Pagoda quickly reached the ears of the salt merchants. Jiang Chun, one of the eight major salt merchants, used ten thousand gold to build a White Pagoda overnight with salt packets. The next day, Emperor Qianlong saw it from afar and couldn't help but feel delighted, saying, "The salt merchants in Yangzhou are truly renowned for their wealth. After Qianlong left Yangzhou, Jiang Chun spent a lot of money to build a real White Pagoda. The White Pagoda on the banks of Shouxi Lake today was built by Yangzhou salt merchants for Emperor Qianlong in the past.

As night falls and the chill rises, I gather around Xiaojin Mountain to cook tea. I use an iron mesh baking tray and place a pot of tea in the middle. Chestnuts, oranges, sweet potatoes, and corn are placed around the pot... In no time, the tea will boil. In "Hello, Life", there is a line that says: "A little smoke rises alone, and three or two shepherds gather around the stove to chat under the dome. It's home." By cooking tea around the stove, the smoke and fire not only rise at the edge of the stove, but also around us.

Dongguan Street's Eternal Bright Moon Night

Hanging red lanterns gives a feeling of celebrating the Chinese New Year. The most representative historical old street in Yangzhou city. It stretches 1122 meters from Guyun River in the east to Guoqing Road in the west. The original road surface was paved with long strips of stone slabs. This street used to be not only a hub for water and land transportation in Yangzhou, but also a center for commerce, handicrafts, and religious culture.

The street is prosperous and full of merchants. Although it is similar to the pedestrian streets in many cities, it can still find a variety of special snacks of Huaiyang cuisine: Pibao Shui, Huaiyang Restaurant, Yangzhou fried rice, Yangzhou Old Goose, Old Yangzhou Stinky tofu, Jianghu Bar, Mr. soybean milk, Zhao's Died rice dumpling, Juxiangzhai... and more than 100 special snacks all over the country.

Some must visit delicacies
Juxiangzhai
Standard time-honored brand! Everyone knows Juxiangzhai bean curd jelly served with sauce. Do you know that his Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) is also unique. This kind of small Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle), also known as Huangqiao Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) by Yangzhou people, is very cheap. It costs only one or two yuan, but it has a variety of tastes, such as pork floss, beef, ham, osmanthus, bean paste stuffing, etc! A bowl of tofu pudding+Huangqiao Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) is the simplest human delicacy.
Zhao's rice dumpling
Folding rice dumpling refers to the production technique. rice dumpling is rolled back and forth in the basket, ensuring the strong taste of the skin. The signboard is a super big four xi rice dumpling. Four xi is a combination of rice dumpling stuffed with vegetables, meat, sesame and bean paste, half sweet and half salty.

Yangzhou Qilin
Yangzhou Daqilin Ge Food Store was founded in 1901 and is a century old store under Yangzhou Wuting Food Co., Ltd. For nearly a century, Daqilin pastry has been highly favored by consumers for its exquisite craftsmanship, unique formula, and elegant design. It is also one of the must try destinations for visitors from other places.

A restaurant is the most suitable place for tourists to have dinner with friends. It is a place where you can taste various famous foods in Yangzhou at once, and the taste is really super good!

Lao Yang Tonic Diet Crisp
The snack Dim sum is made and sold now, and the most famous is Tonic Diet crisp. There are also sesame cake, walnut cake, red date cake, melon seed cake, peanut cake, etc. It is said to be the ancestral Tonic Diet crisp craft, which is crisp in taste, rich in nutrition, and fragrant in lips and teeth. I was once recommended by CCTV! The freshly made pastry is hot in the hand. Wait until it gets cold before eating, the taste will be very sweet and crispy.

Lotus root starch balls
Osmanthus lotus root powder is round, resembling pigeon eggs, with a brown red color, soft and glutinous texture, and a sweet and refreshing taste. The sinking is usually sesame and peanut, and the aroma is pungent. It is a traditional specialty snack of Yangzhou. There are several restaurants on Dongguan Street that offer light meals, and I recommend them for a simple meal.

Yangba Guai Ginger Candy
Yangba Guai Ginger Candy, eight flavors of ginger candy, handmade and crispy, with a strong ginger flavor, suitable for people who love to eat ginger. There are also various flavors of ginger tea that warm the heart and stomach!

There are several distilleries on Dongguan Street, some of which are handmade and can be watched live. The taste is rich in aroma, soft in flavor, and slightly sweet. In addition, Yangmei wine from Dongguan Street is definitely unique.

Yangzhou Tunes in the Winter Rongyuan Small Theater

A big red lantern hung in front of the gate of Dongrong Garden, with the words "Dongrong Garden" shining brightly. Entering the garden, you are greeted by a plum blossom window, through which you can see the exquisite wooden carvings on the walls of the courtyard. Dongrong Garden was once a residence for salt merchants. The owner of the garden, Lu Jingxi, was originally from Anhui and later moved to Baoying, then to Yangzhou, where he worked for the salt transportation company in the two Huai regions. Little known is that Lu Jingxi's wife was the niece of Li Hongzhang, and her daughter Lu Ying was the mother-in-law of the famous literary figure Shen Congwen.

I watched an authentic performance at the Dongrongyuan Theater and heard Yangzhou Qingqu, Yangzhou Pinghua, Tanci, and Zhutou Puppet for the first time. It was extremely exciting and injected soul into the entire journey of Yangzhou. The musical and artistic origins of Yangzhou can be traced back to 2000 years ago. The Southern Dynasty writer Bao Zhao recalled the prosperity of Yangzhou in the Han Dynasty in his "Wucheng Fu": "In the heyday of the past, cars were wrapped in sheaths, people were driving on their shoulders, and the ground was covered with thorns, while songs were blowing to the sky

Yangzhou Qingqu
Traditionally, Yangzhou Qingqu is a performance without makeup, eloquence, or form, with a light, simple, and unadorned style. The most valuable among them is music, with melodies derived from local minor tunes and also including minor tunes from various regions, rich in folk and regional characteristics.
Listening to 'Seeing Jasmine Flower Again' is gentle and pleasant, which is intoxicating.

Yangzhou Tanci "Crying and Laughing Fate: Entering the General's Mansion for the First Time"
Performance: Kang Kang
Yangzhou is an ancient city, as well as an open city. Yangzhou Quyi has always paid attention to learning from the strengths of its brother genres, taking the mountains from other regions and building a highland for Yangzhou Quyi. The selected passage from the Yangzhou Tanci poem 'Laughing and Laughing' reads' Accidentally entering the commander's mansion '. This program is a transplant of Suzhou danci and incorporates the strengths of Yangzhou danci, as well as the characteristics of both the north and south.

Yangzhou Pinghua "Jiangxinzhou"
Performance: Ni Zhenyang, Zhou Leilei
The story tells of the eve of the Liberation Army's crossing of the Yangtze River in 1948. The Yangtze River was already blocked by the enemy, and the guerrilla leader Zhu Zhengqing received a notice from his superiors to escort a group of cadres from the north of the river to the south via Jiangxinzhou. To cross the river smoothly, it is necessary to obtain the enemy's river defense warrant. Zhu Zhengqing disguised himself as Jiangshan Long, a special commissioner of the enemy's secrecy bureau, and infiltrated the enemy's district office. Coincidentally, Zhenjiang Long also arrived. Zhu Zhengqing remained calm in the face of danger and engaged in a battle of wits and courage with Zhenjiang Long. In the end, he "faked it and turned it into reality", successfully executing Zhenjiang Mountain Long and obtaining the river defense warrant.

Puppetry with a Staff Head "Face Changing"
Performance: Wang Yun
The cane head puppet in Yangzhou is a national intangible cultural heritage protection project, and it is known as one of the three major puppets in China, along with the cloth bag puppet in Zhangzhou, Fujian and the string puppet in Quanzhou. The stick headed puppets in Yangzhou are praised as more lifelike than real people, and small puppets become lively under the manipulation of actors.

The bright red wall has become a business card like presence.

Tianning Temple is the first of the eight famous temples in Yangzhou during the Qing Dynasty, and was once known as the "crown of temples in the Jianghuai region". It was first built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the existing architectural layout is a relic restored during the Qing Dynasty's Tongzhi period. Emperor Kangxi made six southern tours and twice stayed in Tianning Temple. Emperor Qianlong made six southern tours and also resided in the Tianning Temple palace multiple times. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Tianning Temple was destroyed and unrecognizable. Since the summer of 1984, a total of over 1 million yuan has been spent on major repairs. After major repairs, Tianning Temple has now restored its historical pattern of "one temple, five gates, rare in the world, two corridors, and ten halls", and has been opened as the Yangzhou Buddhist Culture Museum.

Guazhou Ancient Ferry still shrouded in smoke and waves

Between the waters of Guazhou in Jingkou, Zhongshan is only separated by a few mountains
The "Guazhou" depicted by Wang Anshi is located in Yangzhou, which is an ancient ferry crossing. Due to its unique geographical location, it was once a water and land transportation hub connecting the north and south, and also a military stronghold that was highly sought after by military strategists.

Guazhou Ancient Ferry is not only a place for north-south shipping and commerce, but also a place for literati to express their emotions and showcase their talents. As a result, many popular poems have been left here, such as Bai Juyi's "Bian River, Si River, flowing to the ancient crossing of Guazhou, Wu Mountain is a little sad", and Zhang Ji's "Heroes hate, tears from ancient and modern times, water flows eastward. Only the fishing rod and the bright moon can reach Guazhou".

Guazhou Ancient Ferry Park is located on the banks of the Yangtze River and the ancient canal. It is not only an important water conservancy hub project, but also a beautiful water system park with attractions such as the Caixin Pavilion, Guanchao Pavilion, Yinling Pagoda, Jinchun Garden, Jiangfeng Mountain Moon Pavilion, Jingshui Hall, and Tongyun Pavilion. Passing the "Guazhou Ancient Ferry" monument, there is a sunken box pavilion and a statue of Du Shiniang. It is said that this is the place where Du Shiniang angrily sank a hundred treasure chests.

Zhang Ruoxu Memorial Hall Spring River Flower Moon Night

The museum is three stories high and has rich exhibition content. Zhang Ruoxu, along with He Zhizhang and others, is known as one of the "Four Scholars of Wuzhong"; Although Zhang Ruoxu only left a lasting impression with two poems, his "Spring River Flower Moon Night" is praised by later generations as a "lone piece that covers the entire Tang Dynasty".

We sit quietly on chairs and enjoy 'Spring River Flower Moon Night'. The scene with the river as the background and the moon as the center unfolds in front of us, creating an artistic conception that makes people intoxicated and infatuated.

Spring River Flower Moon Night
The tide of the Spring River connects to the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea rises together with the tide.
Yanyan follows the waves for millions of miles, where is the spring river without moonlight!
The river flows around Fangdian, and the moon shines on the flowers and forests like graupel;
Frost flows in the air without feeling it fly, and white sand on the ground cannot be seen.
The river and sky are one color without any fine dust, and the solitary moon wheel shines brightly in the sky.
Who first saw the moon by the river? When did Jiang Yue start taking photos?
Life is endless from generation to generation, and the river and moon look alike every year.
I don't know who Jiang Yue is waiting for, but I see the Yangtze River sending flowing water.
The white clouds drift away leisurely, and there is no sorrow on Qingfengpu.
Who's flat boat tonight? Where is the Love Moon Tower?
Poor Yue Pei from upstairs, should take a photo off the makeup stage.
Unable to roll out of the jade curtain, it brushed back on the pounding anvil.
At this moment, we look at each other but don't hear each other. May the flow of flowers shine upon you every month.
Wild geese fly endlessly, while fish and dragons dive into the water to write.
Last night, my dream fell in the idle pond, and unfortunately, Spring didn't return home.
The river flows away in spring, and the moon slopes westward as the river pool falls.
The slanting moon is shrouded in sea mist, and the rocks are scattered along the infinite path of Xiangxiang.
I don't know how many people will return on the moon, but the falling moon shakes the river trees with emotions.

The title of the poem is enchanting. Spring, river, flowers, moon, and night, these five things embody the most touching beauty of life, forming a wonderful artistic realm that is tempting to explore. The poem "Spring River Flower Moon Night", praised by Mr. Wen Yiduo as "the poem in poetry, the peak on the summit" ("Self redemption of Palace Style Poetry"), has captivated countless readers for over a thousand years. Zhang Ruoxu, who only left behind two poems in his life, also became known for this poem as "a solitary and unparalleled piece, yet for everyone.
