Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, where do jade people teach. If it is in the south of the Yangtze River in late spring and March, the smoke and rain grass grow, and the warblers fly wildly, which is the most ecstatic time of the year.

It's a pity that it is early winter, and under the cold wind, the willow trees are withering and the flowers are broken, but there is another bleak scene. The slightly green water of the lake, ripples in the cold wind, across the withered and shriveled lotus branches, seems to tell the grievances of this ancient city.

Yangzhou, known as Guangling and Jiangdu in ancient times, has been a place that many literati yearn for since ancient times. The "Guangling Song" lamented by Jin Shengsi, who was once beheaded by the waist and shouted seven tragic words in a row, is here.

Of course, what is more well-known is Emperor Yang of Sui and his canal that has been exploited through the ages, and the Yangzhou that Wu Chen and Daya know is seen through Lord Wei Xiaobao Wei in childhood.

"This is Yangzhou? Why is it a little different? "Big tooth stuffed a three-ding bun in his mouth, his eyes only swirled, on both sides of this slender West Lake, there are some antique buildings, and the scenery looks good, but it doesn't seem to be as bright as the legendary lights.

"There's no need to look for it, Sister Chunhua has already been good by now!" Wu Chen smiled, Lichun Courtyard did not appear in their dreams when they were children, for the two ignorant teenagers, it was simply a utopia in their dreams.

"What Sister Chunhua?" When Xu Jing saw them, she knew that she didn't say anything good, and after she understood, she glared at her big teeth, and her heart was full of contempt, just like you, you can't even cope with yourself, and you dare to come to the land of fireworks?

"Eat, eat!" The big teeth made her look weak, and she was a little embarrassed.

They set out early in the morning, drove for a few hours to eat, and were already hungry, and after entering the city, they went straight to Slender West Lake, found a hotel that looked good, and after a short pause, they came out to find food.

People are iron, rice is steel, and the body is the capital of the revolution, not to mention that Wu Chen was originally a foodie, and before he arrived, he first searched for local specialties.

Yangzhou's famous snacks are still very famous. In addition to sanding buns, mille-feuille oil cakes, salty pot cakes, and all kinds of siu mai, even the crab roe steamed dumplings that are not in season are not let go, and a large table is called full, but there is no main dish.

"Hurry up and eat, I have to go to the market in the afternoon and buy something." Wu Chen also got off the chopsticks quickly, and even a little bit not hot, so he just took it in his hands, and his mouth was full of oil, and he didn't have any image at all, with these guys, you can't be polite! Fortunately, Xu Jing has long been accustomed to the bandit habits of their gang.

They came in a hurry this time, and listened to Liu Lao say that the old man likes to drink tea, and he has never used a teacup, but he sucks directly at the purple sand spout, so he prepared a hexagonal snow pot from Chen Shaoting, which was bought by Kong Si, and it is also one of the few rare real things in Gegu Zhai.

This Chen Shaoting is also a purple sand family in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, good at doing fine work, although this old pot has not been used, but it has also been carefully maintained, and the quality and pulp are good, which is also a good gift.

It's just that Wu Chen and the others are afraid that they will give this thing to the ancient, it is inevitably a little thin, and there is nothing to do today, so they will visit the local antique shop and see if they can find anything more.

There are many historic sites in the south of the Yangtze River, and almost every city has its famous places. When you arrive in Yangzhou, you can not go to Wenchang Pavilion, but Slender West Lake cannot be let go.

Although they still have to pick gifts for the ancients, they heard the news that there is now the largest antique market in Yangzhou on the side of this Slender West Lake, so they simply get together and visit the garden first.

The time is relatively tight, and they can't be allowed to go one by one, and they parted ways, and the big teeth are matched with Xu Jing's men and women, and if they are not tired of work, they will go to the lake, ask the place clearly, go straight to the 24th Bridge, and get on the painting boat from the royal pier.

The imperial wharf is the place where the emperor of the Qing Dynasty boarded the boat during his southern tour, when he walked from the layers of stone steps to the river, he walked on the royal road dedicated to the king of ten thousand times, the big tooth felt good, and he was addicted, Xu Jing was also very cooperative with the emperor and shouted, the two of them were crooked.

Wu Chen and Kong Si looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance, and they were a little envious, jealous and hateful! This is called a garden, okay, and then look around you, two big men all day long, a bird park!

What's more, the two of them still have a task in their bodies, and they don't dare to go far, just walk slowly along the causeway, the promenade on both sides of the lake stretches along the cloud wall, the land route and the waterway are parallel, presenting a zigzag screen column, the structure is open and open, the suppression is staggered, and the turning scene on all sides is a landscape painting, which is "the two embankments and willows are all according to the water, all the way to the mountain".

What's even better is that at this time, it is the early winter off-season, the flow of people is scarce, and the mountains and rivers of the lake show their true charm in this quiet, and soon, the two of them are immersed in the charm of the lakes and mountains and green waters, but they gradually forget the faint regret in their hearts.

At the end of the causeway, is the famous "Xu Garden", is the ancestral hall of the warlord Xu Baoshan during the Xinhai Revolution, this Xu Dashuai is not a vulgar person, there is a hall, a pavilion, a pavilion in the garden, there is a curved water outside, there is a pond inside, flowers, trees, bamboo and stones, just right, fully embodies the exquisite elegance of the garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Two yellow orioles are singing green willows, and a line of egrets is in the sky." Walking to the Tingli Pavilion, Wu Chen looked up and saw a wooden couplet on the wall, he smiled, and I don't know why he remembered Guo Degang's universal poem "A branch of red apricot comes out of the wall".

The charm of Chinese writing lies in its unique interpretation, such as the sentence "a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall", which can be applied to any context, and can be called the universal sentence king of ancient poems in seven words.

"Two yellow orioles are singing green willows, and a red apricot is coming out of the wall."

"The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and a branch of red apricot came out of the wall."

"The cold rain and the river enter Wu at night, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall."

"The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall."

"Stop and sit in love with the maple forest at night, and a red apricot comes out of the wall."

……

All of these have a unique charm, and I really admire the wisdom of the ancients and the carving of words!

Of course, there are many fine products such as Nanmu cover partition in the museum, which is also an eye-opener, and what surprises them even more is that the two large iron woks at the door are said to be the water control artifact more than 1,500 years ago, which has been handed down from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the present, and is also commendable.

"It's an old thing, but it's a pity that it can't be sold!" Kong Si habitually walked over, patted it gently, nodded and praised, thick enough!

Wu Chen was taken aback by him, this pair of old things, no matter how worthless they are, are cultural relics, and I don't know how long they have been shelved, the wind and rain are blowing, maybe the inside has long been weathered and decayed, in case this guy is scattered with one palm, it will be another case of right and wrong!

He looked left and right with a weak heart, but fortunately there was no one, so he hurriedly pulled Kong Si out, went outside, and complained.
