Before I came, I had heard that the people of Guangcheng have an almost demonic obsession with making soup, and today I have really seen it, but isn't making soup all the things that women do?
I raised this question, and the driver and Su Mengxin laughed at the same time.
A string of Cantonese came out of the front row, and I didn't understand a few words.
Su Mengxin smiled and translated for me, "The master is saying that in general, of course, women make soup for men, but if you are as beautiful as me, you should serve me." ”
Oh, my God! There is no reason, the master who drove the car looks more than forty years old, how can he still make such a joke.
However, Su Mengxin immediately opened her mouth to explain, she took a fancy to me first, so she should cook the soup, and which vixen took the lead.
Although it did make me feel better, I always felt that something was wrong, but I didn't care too much about it when I thought it was acting.
Soon, Su Mengxin and the driver master became familiar with each other because of their unified position, and I was left out of various Cantonese chats along the way.
This is also very good, I have been in Guangcheng for a few days, and I have been busy dealing with the dealer, and I have not really felt the charm of this southern city.
The feeling of being watched was gone after driving out of that street, and I was finally able to relax.
After about half an hour's drive, we stood in front of a row of old Qing-style buildings, which should be the so-called Chen Clan Ancestral Hall.
Su Mengxin went to the ticket window in front of her to buy two tickets, and pulled me into the gate of the scenic spot.
"Why did you think you'd come here to play, I thought you'd choose an amusement park or something." I pulled a piece of gum out of my pocket and threw it in my mouth, handing it over at the same time.
Su Mengxin smiled sweetly and shook her head, "Every time I come to Guangcheng, my sister will accompany me here to take a walk around and feel the luxurious atmosphere of the previous dynasty." ”
"My sister is too busy this time, so this glorious mission is up to you to complete." With that, she pulled me along a path and headed inside.
Through Su Mengxin's explanation, I learned that the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, formerly known as the Chen Academy, is the largest, most complete and most beautifully decorated Qing Dynasty ancestral hall building in Quang Nam Province.
The main building is five three-entrance, nine halls and six courtyards, with the gate, Juxian Hall and the back seat as the central axis.
Through Qingyun Lane, corridor, warehouse and courtyard, it is composed of 19 buildings of all sizes, and each single building is independent and interconnected.
It is a very exquisite Qing Dynasty building complex in Guangcheng, not to mention, walking in it is really a little shocked.
The craftsmanship is exquisite, and each wall seems to tell a story.
The walls are carved with extremely fine figurines, of a very high standard of detail, and the most remarkable thing is that they are also painted.
This kind of colorful statue is much more beautiful than the colorless carving on ordinary Chinese architecture, and I think it is comparable to some top buildings in Europe and the United States.
It can be seen that the craftsmen of our country in ancient times are no worse than those foreigners, and my mood slowly rises as I continue to visit.
Su Mengxin whispered allusions everywhere beside her, much more professional than those so-called tour guides.
Soon the two of them found themselves in a large museum-like room with a variety of carvings.
I crouched on a high platform made of black marble and looked at the crescent-shaped tusks that lay above.
The surface of the ivory is carved into a hollow pattern, as if there is a palace in the middle of the moon, and the technique is quite natural, as if it was born like that.
I stuck out my tongue and said, "Mengxin, the hands of these Qing Dynasty craftsmen are too skillful, and a single ivory can be carved so finely, it's really incredible." ”
Su Mengxin flicked the sea in front of her forehead, looked into the distance and said, "That's nature, the 5,000-year-old inheritance of the Chinese nation, and the essence left by the ancestors is a lot." ”
"We descendants can't disgrace them, we must have a long-term vision and a respectful attitude, which is why my sister and I like to come here."
Although her words are very abstract, I almost understand the meaning, the culture here is very strong, and I can really feel the wisdom of the ancestors.
For Su Mengxin, it can be regarded as a kind of spiritual encouragement, which can make her more pure in the practice of Taoism, and to put it bluntly, it is a kind of cultivation of the state of mind.
I didn't have the state of mind she was talking about, but when I turned my head, a row of four comic strips hanging on the wall caught my attention.
The four carvings are actually a picture, that is, on a mountain rock, a beautiful flower surrounds a golden branch, and above the branch are five sacred birds of different shapes fluttering.
From left to right, there are four stages of pattern creation, the first one is just a baseplate, and the second one is carved with a three-dimensional scene, including stones and flowers.
The third one is carved with two more birds, and they are painted in a few simple colors.
The fourth is the finished product, with blue stones, red and yellow flowers, and the colors of several sacred birds have also been painted.
Su Mengxin stepped forward and pointed with her finger and said, "This is the craftsman showing how to make a template carved in the stone, you look so seriously, do you want to learn it?" ”
I shook my head, indicating that it was nothing, but my heart was quite shocked, not because of how exquisite its craftsmanship was, but because the bird in the middle looked exactly like the little phoenix!
looked at the introduction of the stone carving painting, the five sons are the phoenix, what does this mean, could it be that these five sacred birds of different shapes are the descendants of the phoenix?
Su Mengxin looked at my distracted appearance, and then said, "This picture describes the five descendants of the sacred bird Phoenix, they are Qingluan, Vermilion Bird, Bird, Honghu, and Cormorant. ”
I pointed to the bird in the middle and asked, "What's the name of this one?" ”
Su Mengxin observed for a moment, revealing a puzzled expression, "This is a little strange, the blue one on the right should be Qingluan, and the fiery red one on the left is the Vermilion Bird." ”
"The remaining two are also very recognizable, they are the bird and the cormorant, but the bird in the middle is too ordinary, and it is not like the chick that is most like a phoenix and has the purest blood."
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally came to the conclusion that it should be a mistake made by the master when making the painting, and did not carve the feathers on the tail and wings, which is really a pity for this painting.
There was an uproar in my heart, it turned out that the little phoenix was really a descendant of the phoenix, and its current appearance was exactly the same as the so-called mutilated chicks!
