? Walking into a city, I like to go around the old city, where there are fireworks and the warmth of the country. Whether in Nanjing or Taizhou, it is the same. Let's start with Nanjing. In the long history of thousands of years, Nanjing has left many cultural heritages with the imprint of the times. Old south of the city is the birthplace of Nanjing culture, and it is also a living fossil that can represent Nanjing local culture.

? The troops are stationed in Wengjiaying, Nanjing, not far from the old south of Confucius Temple. Therefore, going out to visit the old south of the city on weekends has become a daily routine. As the saying goes, "Beijing Hutong, Nanjing Hutong" is closely connected from Gaoligang, Xiaoshunli, Ma Yin Lane and Yin Gao Lane to Lotus Pond, Five Blessingg Lane and Xiegong Temple, quietly telling the Millennium Spring and Autumn of old Nanjing.

? The old Nancheng in Nanjing is a place with a special smell of fireworks. The old south of Nanjing represents the past of the old city, the past of the Six Dynasties and the amorous feelings of the Republic of China. There are old things in the south of the city here. Many times, I always take my children to visit the old door east full of wisteria flowers on weekends. The tourists all stopped to take photos with them. Friend, there are still long queues waiting to eat plum blossom cakes and Zheng Xiao crisp sesame cakes under Lingxiao Flower, right? The streets and lanes of Laomendong are closely connected with the city wall, shuttling between Confucius Temple and Zhonghua Gate. In the sense of traditional Nanjing city, this is the epitome of Nanjing's old times. Recently, a TV series "Human Life" became a hit. You can probably see the shadow of that year here in the south of the city, looking for the holy place of punching cards in the old days of the Cultural Revolution.

? The wheel of history has run over, and Nanjing Old South City has experienced the baptism of war and fire. Every brick and tile here has experienced vicissitudes, and every street has experienced impermanence and great changes.

? "Small tile horse-headed wall with blue bricks and hanging lattice windows in cloisters." In the early spring, you can feel the self-evident ancient charm of the wind by strolling through the streets and alleys in the south of the old city. In the hustle and bustle of the city, it is rare to have such a spiritual experience. This is the charm of history and the tension of culture, which can't help but impress people. The legend of Taoyedu in the south of the city is that Wang Xianzhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, had a concubine named "Ye Tao". When she traveled between the banks of Qinhuai River, Wang Xianzhi was not at ease. She often greeted her at the ferry in person and wrote "Peach Leaf Song" for her: "Peach leaves are peach leaves, so you don't have to cross the river; But there is nothing to cross, I will meet you myself. " From then on, the ferry became famous, and over time, Nanpudu was also called Taoyedu.

? Like Anpin Street, Sanshan Street, Xiafuqiao, Cangxiang ... There are countless place names scattered in novels, operas and notes in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wu, a writer in Qing Dynasty, spent the rest of his life in the south of the old city. His masterpiece "The Scholars" mentioned dozens of streets and lanes in the south of the city, all of which can be traced. Liu Yuxi wrote in his poem: "There are weeds and flowers beside the Suzaku Bridge, and the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Lane is oblique. In the old society, Xie Wang Tang flew into the homes of ordinary people. "

? Speaking of the old city of Nanjing, it is Laopukou, where there is Pukou Wharf. The ferry crosses the Yangtze River Pukou Wharf and Zhongshan Wharf, connecting Nanjing pukou railway station in the Republic of China. Pukou railway station is a shooting place with deep feelings. In rainy weather, Zhu Ziqing's father bought oranges. Now many young people will punch in here with SLR on weekends, and I often ride my bike here. There is the largest railway station in the Republic of China, and the villas in the Republic of China. The main road, it seems to be a very small road now. It is called the main road because you can imagine the width and prosperity of that year.

? Pukou, the old east gate, is also a place with a strong local flavor. Shopping on weekends is a place I often go. There is a section of Pukou Ming City Wall built by Zhu Yuanzhang. Now when the bus passes by, there is also a platform for the ruins of the Ming city wall, but only a little remains are left. Due to the rapid development of urban construction, almost all the old houses in the old East Gate have been demolished. Now, whenever I go to Nanjing and walk in the ruins, I can't help feeling a lot: it seems that there is an old and tall Toona sinensis tree that has just sprouted, and there are Toona sinensis buds that old Nanjing people often taste, which belongs to this season. The smell of Fujian qianlixiang wonton is also coming to the nose ... the scene of several kittens lying lazily in front of the old east gate is still vivid. Sigh, sigh the vicissitudes of the world brought by the passage of time.

? It has been several years since we entered the old city of Taizhou. Since Taizhou left Yangzhou, we have had a chance to know Taizhou, because we have hardly been to Taizhou before.

? The morning market of Shengxianqiao is full of beautiful things, including chickens, ducks, fish and shrimp, pork shops, fried dough sticks, pancakes and dried tofu, and fireworks in old Taizhou. For the old Hailing people, narrow alleys should be their children's memories, engraved with stories of mottled years. This is why it is difficult for me to understand why the "Old Hailing" among my friends and colleagues wants to buy a house in the north of the city. Because hidden in the depths of the bustling city, those old streets and lanes with mottled walls have always been a feeling of reluctance.

? Time flies, walking in these ancient alleys, looking for memories that belong here, is what I capture the happiness in the world.

? Chonglou Lane is located in Taizhou City, starting from Hailing North Road in the west, crossing Guandi Temple Lane and reaching Funan Street in the east. It is named after an ancient bell tower in the lane. The ancient bronze bell on the bell tower in Zhonglou Lane was seriously damaged by the war. Among them, the nose and lips of a dragon on the hanging beam were blown off, leaving many machine gun bullet marks on the bell. Taizhou ancient bronze bell is listed as the four largest bronze bells in Jiangsu because of its large size and ancient shape, and it ranks with Zhonghe Bell in Danyang Tang Dynasty, Jin Bell in Huai 'an and Ming Hongwu Bell in Nanjing Drum Tower.

? Han Dong Street and Han Xi Street, located in the north of Taizhou, are well-preserved old streets in Taizhou. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, this was the local commercial center of Taizhou, which was dominated by salt industry. During the Republic of China, it gradually evolved into a distribution center for north-south logistics transactions, with many large households. This block integrates the architecture of Ming, Qing and Republic of China, and has the traditional water town pattern of two streets and one river. The traditional deep house compound is simple, sturdy, elegant and low-key, and preserves the unique architectural style of "Dahe grey wall and blue brick ground", "Taiping Peak" and "both sides meet the source".

? When you walk into Han Dong Street, you must go to Beiwachang Lane, also known as Pu 'er Lane. Buildings in the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China can be seen everywhere in the seemingly unremarkable alleys. Although they have been eroded by wind and rain for hundreds of years, they can still see the majestic posture of that year. There are Wang Zhai, Guzhai, Gaozhai and other ancient buildings in the Qing Dynasty in the alley, with mottled blue brick walls, gray roofs covered with moss, elegant brick lintels and exquisite wood carving screens. Approached, people really feel its historical charm and ancient charm.

? Besides Beiwachang Lane, there are many well-preserved ancient streets and lanes in Han Dong Street, such as Lingjiayuan, Shitou Lane, Wanzihui, Xujiaqiao and Gujiaxiang. When you walk into Gu Xiang, you are pursuing and repeating the footprints of the ancients thousands of years ago, and you are feeling the ancient charm of the past years.

? There is a Yue Temple in Taishan Park in the old city, which was built in the ninth year of Ming Dynasty (1444). In Wang Simin, Tongzhi County, Taizhou, an ancestral temple was built and named Taishan Temple. Taishan Temple didn't exist for a long time. In the tenth year of Wanli (1582), Taizhou soldier Shu built a temple on the top of the mountain to commemorate Yue Fei, and hung a plaque of "Yue Yue Qi Guan". In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, another Taizhou soldier was going to Zhangming Ezhou. On the top of Mount Tai, Yue Zhongwu built three more temples, and the portraits dedicated to them and the statue of his wife Wang knelt in front of them.

? In the 11th year of Qing Yongzheng (1733), the doctor Li Lai Taizhou was the magistrate. When he reached the top of Mount Tai, he saw the temple built by Shu to commemorate it. "It's not that the people miss the king, but it was specially renovated with the people in the state." It took less than a year to rebuild the Yue Wumu Temple, and the inscription "Rebuild the Inscription of Mount Tai Yuezhong My King Temple" was written by myself. As can be seen from the existing inscriptions, this renovation has upgraded the architectural level, from three small ancestral halls with bungalows to large ancestral halls with upturned corners, and added cloisters and climbing stone steps, forming the highest standardized temple in Taizhou, with a single roof and cloisters behind the mountains.

? According to Yue Fei's "Shen Fu Temple Ma Qibing Liang Qianxiang" and other documents, the Southern Song Dynasty made suggestions for four years, and the court appointed Yue Fei as the governor and magistrate of Tongtai Town. On August 18 of that year, Yue Fei, who was only 28 years old, was appointed from Yixing to work day and night and arrived outside Taizhou on the night of 26th. In order to help Chuzhou, Yue Fei led the army to fight three battles with herdsmen in Gaoyou Sanduo, winning three. After returning to Taizhou from Sanduo Banshi, Yue Fei saw that Taizhou City was very small at that time, with weak defense function, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and no danger to lean on. Earlier, the emperor had made it clear that Taizhou could abide by the rules, and if not, it would withdraw from Taizhou south. So in June 5438 +065438+10, Yue Fei took 200 elite soldiers to cover Taizhou people retreating to the sand dunes in the river (now near Jingjiang Shengci).

? In the war-torn era, for the people of Taizhou, Yue Fei's appointment as the Zhizhou is the guarantee of their safety. In February the year before Yue Fei came to Taizhou, Jin Bing came to Taizhou and the whole city was looted. Therefore, when he decided to retreat to the south, Yue Fei let the people go ahead, protected them with his elite troops, and retreated to a safe place with the army. Yue Fei is kind to Taizhou people, and Taizhou people thank them for their kindness. When Yuefei Ancestral Temple was built on Mount Tai, the incense kept burning all the year round. The story and legend of Yue Fei's resistance to gold in Taizhou, as well as the story of Taizhou people and Yue Fei's dependence on life and death, are deeply rooted in people's hearts, well-known and passed down from generation to generation.

? Nanjing was called Jinling in ancient times, and Taizhou was called Hailing in ancient times, which is probably just fate. But who would have thought that this life would work hand in hand with these two cities with ling characters. One is my hometown and the other is my dream.
