Manbu qingguo lane

Shortly after I arrived in Changzhou, I couldn't wait to visit Qingguo Lane. In the rainy season, it rains in Mao Mao. I looked for it in Longcheng with an umbrella and a bike. On the way, I thought, "Qingguo Lane", how poetic the name is. Back in those days, the hutongs must be full of leafy trees and green fruits, just like Su Dongpo said, "Flowers fall and apricots are small." Swallows fly, green water people go around. "It is this picturesque land of Feng Shui that I don't know how many celebrities have been born. In ancient times, Tang Jingchuan (1507- 156 1), an anti-Japanese hero and literary master of Ming Dynasty, was called "Jiajing Sanjie" together with Gui Youguang and Wang Shenzhong. Tang Yifen (1778- 1853), a master of art in Qing Dynasty, is as famous as Xi Gang and Dai at that time, and is known as "Fang Xun Tang Dai". In modern times, the famous red capitalist "textile giant" Liu Guojun; Zhao Yuanren is called "the father of linguistics in China". These people all live in qingguo lane. Qu Qiubai, who is known as one of the "Three Masters of Changzhou", was born in Baguitang, Qingguo Lane. Zhou Youguang (1906-), a linguist and "father of Chinese Pinyin", was also born in Qingguo Lane. After reading "Qian Chengdan, a historian of Qingguo Lane" in Changzhou Daily, it turns out that Professor Qian Chengdan, who told General Secretary Hu Jintao about history at the beginning, was also from Qingguo Lane. This reminds me of Gong Zizhen's poem praising Changzhou: "Celebrities in the world have tribes, but there are no horses in the southeast. "

Looking at the map and asking all the way, I found Qingguo Lane. I stood silently on the east side of the alley and saw the alley huddled under the tall building. Three financial buildings, such as three mountains, stand at the east entrance of the alley, and the cement monument of "Changzhou Historical and Cultural Protection Zone-Qingguo Lane" has been covered with bicycles and sundries. I pushed my bike along a three-meter-wide bluestone path, watching it carefully while walking, and my thoughts suddenly pulled back to the past. The house is empty. The "Manlian Animation" store next to 17 still has an ancient taste. Wooden doors, doors and windows, Shimenlou, dust and cobwebs are all silently telling the vicissitudes of history. The slogan couplets of the Cultural Revolution period can be seen on Gate 27: "Sailing on the sea depends on the helmsman, and the revolution depends on Mao Zedong Thought". I don't know when the bottom line was shoveled off. The blue brick stacking method on the door wall can feel the architectural characteristics of the Ming Dynasty dwellings. Along the narrow alley that can only accommodate one person, I walked into the depths of the alley and talked with an old woman selling boiled water. I can't understand a word of Changzhou dialect she said, but I feel the quaint atmosphere of this ancient city. At the end of the alley, it is actually a tributary of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The muddy and heavy canal lies quietly in the drizzle. You can't see the flow of water, but this water leads to the outside world like a railway, connecting the north and south of the river. I am thinking, perhaps it is this canal that has inspired artists to create and given politicians and historians the passion to join the society. In the past, there were many boats and boats here, and the business was prosperous. It was a distribution center for fruits in the north and south. There is a saying in Changzhou Fu during the reign of Qing Qianlong: "When you enter Qianguo Lane, the colors of peaches, plums, apricots and plums are all old". "Qingguo Lane" and "Guo Qian Lane" are probably named like this.

After crossing Dongxue Lane, I saw a row of renovated houses with white walls and tiles, which may have just been renovated. It is the former residence of Liu Guojun and the birthplace of Qu Qiubai. I tapped on the heavy ochre door and tried to get in. The old woman at the door told me, "This is the proprietress's private house. You can't come in." I had to leave in anger. I heard that Zhao Yuanren's former residence is in the back. A few days ago, I also read Li Lanqing's article "Zhao Yuanren, a well-read and famous musician" in Guangming Daily, which mentioned that the famous love music "Teach me how to think about her" was composed by Zhao Yuanren. I made a detour, crossed the alley and jumped into the side door. There is a yard inside, and it is said that there are eight families living in it. I wanted to talk to them, and they all left in fear, as if I were a real estate developer. I looked up at the attic and looked around the residents. I saw patches of dark green moss on the mottled powder wall, and I heard the creaking and swaying of the attic, while the dark gray tile pine on the roof was idle compared with the wild green paulownia trees.

In the alley, I saw a small bookstore. Go in and have a look. I never thought that we read many comic books and bundles of comic books when we were young. When we opened them, it felt like we were back in childhood. What is particularly surprising is that the owner of this bookstore is a 92-year-old man. He sat by the door, holding a banana fan in one hand and reading Reference News in the other. I chatted with the clerk and learned that the descendants of the elderly are either doctors or work in government agencies. No wonder Changzhou is called "the eternal land of learning and the city of modern innovation", which is true. It is this endless reading atmosphere that makes talents in ancient cities and mean alleys come forth in large numbers. Think of a sentence by Zhao Yi, a historian in Changzhou in the Qing Dynasty: "Jiangshan has produced talents, each leading the way for hundreds of years."

Out of the alley, two words are engraved on the ridge eaves of the house facing the street at the west exit, which just means "all the best". Not far from the CCB building, the famous commercial center South Street is also close at hand, and the rich modern atmosphere quickly flooded this alley. Qingguo Lane is like an elegant scholar who "faces the city in a light way". No matter how noisy and flashy the outside world is, he always sticks to his spiritual home with a leisurely attitude, letting the misty rain drift away and maintaining the noble Chiang Mai of "an old man fishing in the cold river-in the snow".

The rain is still underground. I came to the quaint Ming city wall, stood on the famous Wenheng Bridge, and watched the sand carriers in the canal from south to north, immersed in the misty rain of the past. I really hope to leave this alley through history forever, so that we can walk, watch, touch and remember. ...

I read in the newspaper that Qingguo Lane will be permanently preserved and renovated. Prepare a sunny day, and then come to Qingguo Lane. I really want to say: Qingguo Lane, "Teach me how to miss her".
