Chapter 395: The Ancient City of Chang'an
The atmosphere of the New Year is relatively strong in the countryside, and the atmosphere of the New Year in the countryside is often much stronger than in the city.
The bigger the city, the more high-rise buildings, people are busy with work, sometimes even if the neighbors live for a few years, they may not be able to say a few words, I have to say that the current high-rise buildings steel and cement have separated the feelings between people.
In the past, people often said that the relationship between the left and right neighbors, relatives and friends, and the villagers in the countryside is often relatively good, but now in the big cities, how many real neighbors and villagers are there? In the past, there were several families living in a large courtyard, and a group of children ran around with bare buttocks, and their feelings were basically hated iron, but now?
Pingshui County is only a small county town, so the New Year is approaching, it seems very lively, especially the small villages, it seems to be joyful, on the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household began to paste couplets, go to the grave to sweep the grave to invite ancestors, make dumplings, and prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the town is even more noisy with gongs and drums, what Yangge team, gong and drum team, so lively, every year during the New Year, Lin Yuan also likes to spend at home, just like that kind of harmonious and lively atmosphere.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yuan's relatives are not many, that is, Xiao Yue'e's maiden family, and on the second day of the new year, Lin Yuan left Pingshui and returned to Jiangzhong City, and booked a ticket to western Sichuan.
Today's Lin Yuan is no longer the Lin Yuan when he was in school, people often say that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, since they have entered the society, they naturally have to deal with people, and many friends always have to move around during the Chinese New Year, and others can not visit, but Xu Qingfeng Lin Yuan is going to pay homage to the New Year no matter what.
I didn't stay much in Linyuan in western Sichuan, stayed for a day, bought a ticket to Qin Province on the fourth day of the new year, and flew directly to Chang'an, Qin Province.
Chang'an is an ancient city for several generations, Qin Province also has a long history, when the Qin State is located is now Qin Province, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the capital was Xianyang at that time, the airport near Qin Province is in Xianyang, people often say that eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, swallow mountains and rivers, Qin Province Guanzhong has always been a must for soldiers, many emperors in history are in Guanzhong and then look at the world.
Qin Province belongs to the northern provinces, and it is also colder than Jiangzhong, but it is not as cold as Yanjing, Lin Yuan got off the plane and walked out of the passage, not far away Dang Shaobo and Gan Yunfeng were waiting at the exit.
"Brother Lin, welcome to Qin Province. Dang Shaobo stepped forward with a smile to greet him, Gan Yunfeng also consciously took the salute from Lin Yuan's hand, in a sense, Gan Yunfeng can now be regarded as Lin Yuan's subordinate, and he is very valued by Lin Yuan in Xinyuan charity.
"Qin Province is the hometown of Qin, and Chang'an is the ancient capital of several generations, I have long wanted to come, and I almost applied for the university in Qin Province when I filled in the volunteers. Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"This time, Dr. Lin, you have to come for a few days, I will be your guide, Chang'an has a lot of interesting places, what Daming Palace ruins, Tang Furong Garden, Big Wild Goose Pagoda and so on. Gan Yunfeng said with a smile.
"That is, this time you shouldn't be in a hurry, it seems that the special training class will start after fifteen, right?" Dang Shaobo said with a smile.
"The sixteenth day of the first month. Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"That's a lot of time, but I can stay here for ten days. Dang Shaobo said with a smile.
"I want to have a good stroll, when I was in school before, I heard a lot of classmates in Qin Province say that the snacks in Qin Province are very famous, and this time I want to feast on it. Lin Yuan said with a smile.
As they spoke, the three of them walked out of the airport together, and there was a car waiting outside, Gan Yunfeng put Lin Yuan's salute into the trunk, and then was responsible for driving, while Lin Yuan and Dang Shaobo sat in the back seat and chatted.
The airport is still some distance from the city of Chang'an, about less than forty minutes, Lin Yuan saw the ancient city wall of Chang'an City, Dang Shaobo introduced on the side: "The ancient city wall of Chang'an City is one of the most intact cities in the country with the ancient city wall, the central area within the second ring is basically surrounded by walls, the city wall of Chang'an City belongs to the Ming City Wall, you are not the right time, if it is two months later, it is very good to walk and ride a bicycle on it." ”
"That piece is the bell tower, not far from the drum tower, near the drum tower is the Muslim Street, bringing together a lot of famous snacks, and there are also the academy gate city god temple and so on. ”
Lin Yuan sat in the car, looking out of the window all the way, I have to say that Chang'an City and Jiangzhou Province are indeed very different, Jiangzhong City has a strong modern atmosphere, but Chang'an City gives people a sense of ancient heaviness, not the ancient city wall and some preserved monuments.
Lin Yuan also went to Yanjing a few years ago, Chang'an City is completely different from Yanjing, Yanjing, as the current capital, belongs to the national economic and political center, more prosperous than Chang'an, but some places are not as good as Chang'an......
The car passed all the way through the bell tower, because the car was relatively congested, so Lin Yuan had time to take a good look at the so-called bell tower, the bell tower looked from a distance is also an attic-style building with heavy eaves and three drops of water with four corners and spires, and there is a quaint big bell on it, as for the drum tower and the bell tower The style is almost the same, but there are many drums on it.
Dang Shaobo introduced: "The so-called morning bell and dusk drum, the bell tower used to be used to tell the time, the bell tower bell rings, the whole Chang'an city can be heard, every day at 9 o'clock in the morning, 12 o'clock in the afternoon, 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Jingyun bell on the Xi'an bell tower rings 24 times respectively; at 6 o'clock in the evening, the first 24 solar terms drums on the drum tower sound in unison, and then the drum rings 24 times to announce the twilight. ”
The morning bell and dusk drum have always been a tradition of Taoism in China, Taoism is a native sect of China, and many things have something in common with traditional Chinese medicine, which Lin Yuan also knows.
When Lin Yuan arrived at the airport, it was more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was delayed for forty minutes from the airport to the city, and it was delayed for a while after passing through the traffic jam in the bell tower area, and it was already half past three in the afternoon when he arrived at Dang Shaobo's residence.
Dang Shaobo lives in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, not far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it is an old community, the house is very large, three bedrooms and one living room, and the house is very well decorated.
Dang Shaobo said with a smile while leading Lin Yuan into the door: "My daughter-in-law and children have gone back to my hometown for the Spring Festival, I am alone at home these days, and you are here to be my companion." ”
"It seems that I influenced the eldest brother of the party to go home for the New Year, my sister-in-law will not have an opinion, right?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"If you have any opinions, I basically go home every year, and if I don't go back this year, I will have opinions. Dang Shaobo smiled while personally pouring water for Lin Yuan, while Gan Yunfeng put Lin Yuan's salute in a prepared bedroom.
"It's not early today, and you've had a bumpy journey, so I'll take you to visit the teacher tomorrow morning. Dang Shaobo put the tea in front of Lin Yuan and said.
"I am a guest and a host, and I listen to the arrangement of the big brother of the party. Lin Yuan said with a smile, picked up the teacup and sniffed it as he spoke: "Well, the best Longjing, Brother Dang, your tea is not simple." ”
"I followed the teacher to get wet, although the teacher doesn't ask about the world, but the teacher will still send some good tea every year. Dang Shaobo said with a smile.
After chatting with Dang Shaobo in the room for a while, Lin Yuan followed Dang Shaobo out of the door, and ate the signature mutton steamed bun of Qin Province for dinner.
"Well, the taste is very good, I have eaten the packaged mutton bubbles brought by my classmates in Qin Province once before, and the taste is not very good, it seems that I still have to eat authentic. Lin Yuan praised while eating.
"Mutton bubble is the signature of Qin Province, but eating this is not just a random one can eat, to find food or to find that kind of century-old shop, so that you can eat the taste, now many shops are hanging sheep's head to sell dog meat, saying that it is mutton bubble, the taste is not authentic at all. Dang Shaobo said with a smile.
Lin Yuan agrees with this, once a local specialty is on fire, some people will naturally imitate it, but authentic things are not so easy to imitate, and the real old Chang'an is particular about eating steamed buns.
Eat this kind of authentic things, especially can not be eaten near the station and airport, these places earn the money of tourists, basically a hammer deal, the service attitude is not good, not to say, the taste is not very good, this is like many people selling cigarettes will not choose the station near the airport, the easiest to buy fakes, and the price is ridiculously high.
After eating, Lin Yuan and Dang Shaobo Gan Yunfeng walked for a walk to eat, and after a while, they arrived at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square, although the weather was colder at this time, there were many people in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square.
Gan Yunfeng looked at the time and said, "It's just about to start the fountain show." ”
"Fountain show?" Lin Yuan looked at Gan Yunfeng.
"There are many fountains in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square, and there is a performance time every day, exactly once at 8 o'clock in the evening, but the people who see it are all outsiders, and few locals see it. Gan Yunfeng said with a smile.
"Let's go, just take a look. Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Dang Shaobo and Gan Yunfeng accompanied, the three of them entered the square, there were indeed a lot of people in the square, the three of them just walked in, the square sounded music, the fountains spewed out in unison, the scene was very spectacular, Lin Yuan had seen a lot of fountains before, but it was the first time to see so many fountains like the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square.
After seeing the fountain, the three people did not take the car, the walkers walked back, and when they walked through the square, Lin Yuan saw a large group of people gathered not far away, a group of people were relatively young, shouting trumpets in their mouths, and they looked very excited.
"Those are supposed to be pyramid schemes. Gan Yunfeng explained softly.
Hearing Gan Yunfeng say this, Lin Yuan's brows subconsciously frowned, he had also heard people say before that the pyramid scheme first started in the United States, and then spread to China, it was to gather people to cheat by selling goods and paying franchise fees, the model is basically friends deceiving friends, relatives deceiving relatives, the more downlines of development, the higher the level, and the more dividends.
This model is the empty glove white wolf model, using the public's yearning for the psychology of getting rich, but in the end, it is often a small number of people who defraud the majority of people's money and then disappear, and finally leave most of the deceived people with no money, life is more and more pitiful, this pyramid scheme model has only begun to sprout in China in recent years, and there are more in some southern provinces, but I didn't expect it to be in Qin Province.
"Dr. Lin!"
Gan Yunfeng saw Lin Yuan suddenly walking towards a group of pyramid schemers, and hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Doctor Lin, what are you doing, these people are very fanatical, and the current crackdown on this kind of illegal pyramid scheme in China is not very strong, even if the police catch it, they will only be released after education, and they will start again in another place." ”
