Old time in old photos of Wenzhou

? Wenzhou in the old photos used to be a water town in the south of the Yangtze River in my memory, with small bridges and flowing water all over the city. Ancient city walls, deep alleys, old houses with a combination of Chinese and western styles. Nowadays, only through photos can we visit those imprinted traces in time.

On September 6th, a quiet autumn day, I was talking and laughing at a station. It is Miss Xiao Ke who is talking about the old photos of Wenzhou. It is meaningful to recite Zhi Zhu's words.

? Wenzhou, from the opening of the port in the late Qing Dynasty, had the earliest image of Wenzhou. The earliest old photos of Wenzhou discovered so far were taken by British diplomat Achali in 1877. In Wenzhou's old photos, there are two beautiful towers in Jiang Xinyu, a canoe on the river, a bustling pier, the stalwart of western-style cathedrals and the elegance of small bridges and flowing water. With the passage of time, some old places in Wenzhou have been slowly submerged in the dust of time, but these old photos make memories last forever and restore the people and scenery at that time.

? When reviewing the yellowed pictures of old photos in Wenzhou, Xiao Ke introduced the sharing and analysis of Zhi Zhu's ci in Wenzhou from beginning to end. Zhi Zhu's Ci was originally a folk song created by ancient working people. According to scholars' research, Zhi Zhu's ci creation in Wenzhou began in Song Dynasty and flourished in Qing Dynasty. Generally speaking, the content is mainly singing and writing, mostly seven-character quatrains, such as:

Bailifang

A hundred miles of wind and thyme, lotus flowers are as long as an inch.

Send lang straight to Pingyang, ashamed to remove evening makeup.

Ranjef

Blessing in spring will block the streets and wine cellars will be everywhere;

After the new rain tonight, the green mud defiled Feng Touxie.

? Compared with the old photos, listening to the chanting of Zhi Zhu's Ci and thinking about the warm and warm past, the old photos of Wenzhou are no longer ordinary photos, but have precipitated the memory of a generation, recorded the changes of Wenzhou and carried the local conditions and customs belonging to Wenzhou.

? Close your eyes and listen, fantasizing about the blue waves of the ancient city of Wenzhou at that time, the shadow of the bridge opening the door and facing the window, and those old friends who are memorable but have been fixed in the photos. Read it, read it as soon as possible, and read it again and again. ...
