Suzhou is nicknamed Gusu. Just listening to this name is enough to fascinate me.
Although I have been to several cities, I haven't really been to a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which has a strong cultural heritage of landscape architecture.
I've always wanted to go to the real Jiangnan water town and taste the misty rain in Jiangnan written by the poet. Suzhou is a city that meets all my imagination.
My impression of Suzhou only stays in Tang Yin, a master of Suzhou gardens and a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River in the movie, which I learned from junior high school Chinese textbooks. Moreover, people know little about it.
I recite a lot of Jiangnan poems, often intoxicated by its artistic conception and lamenting the infinite poetry of Jiangnan water towns, but I have never had a chance to really integrate into it.
Now, after walking through the foggy city of Jiang Nanyu, I deeply understand the reason why poets prefer Jiangnan.
It was raining in Mao Mao when the train arrived. If it rains after going out to play as usual, I may feel unlucky, but this time I feel very happy.
Because Jiangnan is most suitable for foggy and rainy weather, the hazy beauty covered by raindrops makes Suzhou, a landscape garden city, more beautiful in artistic conception.
I came to this city with all my good hopes for this city. The first thing I saw was the building of Suzhou Railway Station, whose structure fully conforms to Suzhou's simple and elegant temperament.
Each city's railway station has its own characteristics, but Suzhou Station especially makes my eyes shine. As soon as I got out of the station, I saw the antique buildings, and in a trance, I came to the real Millennium ancient city.
On a drizzly morning, I started a day's trip. The first stop was Suzhou Museum, which was praised by Amway, and its reputation was numerous.
People who have been here say that many tourists here will line up for a long time. I am lucky, because there are not many people when it rains, so I don't have to wait long to swipe my ID card to get the ticket.
Suzhou Museum, designed by I.M. Pei, a world Chinese architect, shows its outstanding artistry.
Although I don't know anything about architecture, design and aesthetics, the deepest direct feeling of Suzhou Pavilion is its architectural design, white walls and tiles, the combination of gardens, mountains and rivers, nature and modern elements. It is worthy of being the birthplace of Wu culture and the outstanding place of garden architecture.
Walking forward, I entered the corridor and saw many photographers looking for angles to take pictures. The structure inside is definitely a photographer's paradise.
From the corridor, through the hollow diamond, you can still hear the sound of raindrops beating on the bamboo forest outside. You can also see the buildings outside reflected in the water, like a landscape painting between heaven and earth, without any sense of disobedience.
In the museum, we saw many precious historical relics of Wu culture, and a grandmother-level volunteer chatted with us about the source of a cultural relic.
I listened to it with relish for a long time and watched it with envy. I admire her not only because of her rich historical knowledge, but also because of her young spirit, which few people could do at that age.
The biggest surprise in Su Bo was to see the Loyalty Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was the first time I saw a real historical palace in reality.
It is the residence of Li Xiucheng, a loyal monarch of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and a peasant uprising regime in the Qing Dynasty. It is the most complete building left by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the most complete peasant rebel station left by China in history.
During the tour, I marveled at its luxury and luxury. The main hall, the classical stage, the back garden, the quadrangle and all kinds of exquisite decorative patterns completely immerse me in this palace with historical and cultural value.
Standing in the front hall, looking at these precious cultural relics left over from historical changes, I can't help but think of the vigorous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement learned in history books.
At that time, I deeply regretted its failure, but now standing on its court, I am deeply touched.
The temporary glory has long been a thing of the past, and what future generations meet it is only the traces left by history and the crying when talking about it.
We can't judge the right or wrong of history, but the mainstream history will always bring us progress. After a half-day visit to Su Bo, the bell is very big, and I first experienced the typical royal gardens in Jiangnan water town.
I have always marveled at the creativity of the ancients, and I have to admire their superb wisdom after seeing those gardens.
Walking out of Suzhou Museum, you will arrive at Pingjiang Historic District. Probably because of the rain, there are not many people.
I have always been used to seeing the bustling historical blocks in other cities, but I can't get used to such quiet scenic spots. But I'm glad to come at this time, because I prefer quiet, and Suzhou is more suitable for quiet appreciation.
Walking alone with an umbrella in a quiet bluestone lane reminds me of Dai Wangshu's rainy lane. I have always liked the artistic conception of this poem, especially its ethereal and sad Jiangnan tone.
In this situation, we should recite a few words: "Hold an oil-paper umbrella and wander alone in a long, lonely rain lane, hoping to meet a girl with a lilac knot."
She is the same color, fragrance and sadness as lilac. She cried, cried and hesitated in the rain. She lingered in this lonely rain lane with an oil-paper umbrella. She is as silent, indifferent, sad and disappointed as I am. "However, it's a pity that I'm not the lilac girl with sadness. I'm just a passer-by here.
On both sides of Pingjiang Road Alley are various Suzhou specialty shops. The decoration style is fresh and artistic, and passers-by can't help but go in and have a look, and then reluctantly leave.
Passing by a tambourine shop, a beautiful young lady is playing the music of Anheqiao with tambourine with the accompaniment of Dong Ye. Xia Houdun's low magnetic voice charmed the quiet Jiangnan after the rain.
I stood there quietly and listened to the whole song before leaving. The moment I stopped was my happiest time, and it was the most perfect thing to hear folk songs on the way to travel.
After listening to this, I walked on without seeing every small shop clearly. Passing by a Suzhou restaurant, Suzhou Pingtan brought me into the life of Tang Yin, a talented person in the south of the Yangtze River.
I seldom listen to opera, but after passing this place, I was completely fascinated by Wunong's storytelling tone.
The strangest thing is that Dong Xiaoqing is full of thoughts all the way.
Maybe her temperament is too consistent with the gentleness of Jiangnan water town. Wu Nong's soft words are entirely her own. Her gentle and elegant voice and sweet voice almost intoxicated me in her arms.
I thought in ancient times, I was a talented woman in Jiangnan. The concept bookstore of literary cats, the city of the sky, is a must-see place for young people. I certainly can't miss such a beautiful bookstore.
I like all kinds of literary decorations in the bookstore. I really want to grind a latte in such an elegant environment and read a few pages of Tagore's poems in its aroma. What a pleasant leisure time it will be!
I also want to open a bookstore full of literary flavor in such a poetic and picturesque land in the south of the Yangtze River.
In my opinion, only bookish spirit is more worthy of Gusu's temperament, and reading can precipitate and purify people's hearts. This is the charm of Gusu.
Small bridges and flowing water make Suzhou perfect. In addition to the small shops on both sides of Qingshi Road, Jiangnan people walk inside.
Seeing an old man playing by the bridge with his children, the scene is warm and happy, which makes people admire the family who live here.
Boats moored on the shore, clear green sea water, pedestrians on the bridge, white walls and tiles everywhere, quiet and peaceful, elegant, love everything here.
I think this is the beauty of heaven. Walking here, I suddenly have a wish: I want to have a small house in my favorite city.
Anyone who travels to this city alone can stay and rest here for free. A group of like-minded people get together and talk about everything, but unlike the big ice room, there are so many rules and regulations. This cabin should be free and relaxed.
For me, such a beautiful vision may be difficult to realize, but it is ok to think about it. How lucky and wonderful it is to meet an equally interesting soul.
Every time you go to a city, you will go to a famous bookstore in that city.
Although I don't have time to sit down and read, the atmosphere of reading in the bookstore is my favorite, and I am particularly keen on the decoration design of the bookstore. Every bookstore has its own characteristics.
Eslite Bookstore, the most famous bookstore in Suzhou, is a favorite place for young artists, because its staircase corridor is decorated with sentences from various famous books, which is very literary.
Bookstores in big cities are super tall! I saw many things in it that other bookstores didn't have, such as the records of stars, the limited edition CDs of foreign singers, and all kinds of cute gadgets in it. I really want them, but the price is a little too expensive, so I can only watch them leave.
Walking out of the bookstore, I saw a plush toy exhibition hall, a vegetarian exhibition hall and exhibitions of Bing Xu and his students on other floors. Everything is fresh and curious.
In such a high-class shopping mall, I feel the unattainable upper class, and I am somewhat humble and helpless in envy. Standing outside on the rooftop overlooking the most prosperous high-rise building in Suzhou, I felt very small at that moment.
The city is too big and good for me. No matter how much I like it, I am just a passer-by.
When I left, I hung my best wishes for the future on the big heart-shaped wish wall. I hope they can come true in many years!
Suzhou, a this beautiful city that makes me want to stay! I have to say goodbye to it after all. This reminds me of a city in the south of the Yangtze River where Wu Nong speaks softly and sweetly. I don't want to give up, but I want to see you again
I will miss this city, I will miss walking alone in the long bluestone alley in the rain, and I will be surrounded by the soft and sweet Suzhou Pingtan, the lovely literary shop on Pingjiang Road, the quaint and elegant white wall tiles built near the water, and the beautiful Jiangnan Mountain Water Garden.
I will miss, miss my Gusuxing alone in the rain, dreaming and intoxicated, nostalgic and nostalgic.
