In northern Sichuan, there is such a city.
Li Shangyin likes its poetic river water:
"Thousands of miles of Jialing River water, with smoke and the moon is blue. ”Lu You is nostalgic for the fragrance of its city:
"When I first entered Shu, I watched begonias in Nanchong Fan Pavilion. ”Its silk industry has been famous since ancient times
"The lights of thousands of homes are full of spring breeze, and the moon is bright for ten miles. ”Spring goes to autumn, and the city of fruits changes in the cycle of the four seasons:
"The fruit of the fairy mountain is beautiful and fragrant, and the golden trees are yellow everywhere. ”It is Nanchong. When you first arrive in Nanchong, you will be attracted by its delicious food everywhere and forget to return;
Come to Nanchong again, savor the mountains and rivers, flowers, seas and fruits in the city, and have more of the deep meaning of the wanderer's homecoming.
It is no wonder that Shao Bowen, a literati in the Song Dynasty, never forgot Nanchong in "The Slogan of Chongcheng":
"The resort is a true country, and Sichuan is only said to be a good city. ”The Jialing River left the most feminine figure in Nanchong, and the blue water of the river is picturesque;
Heming Mountain, looking at the river, does not say a word, through the thousands of years of rain, snow, wind and frost quietly mottled the time.
Once, the heart that longed for the prosperity of the outside world also settled after coming to Nanchong.
As a result, many people suddenly realized:
"It turns out that the poems and distant places I passed by in my dreams are such a carnival of reunion after a long absence. ”
One side of the city, four sides of fireworks
When it comes to Nanchong, the topic that can't be avoided is food.
Nanchong cuisine, the first to bear the brunt is the unique northern Sichuan jelly.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a farmer named Xie Tianlu made his own jelly and sold it in a shed at Nanchong Ferry.
Because the jelly powder made is delicate and refreshing, and the condiments are spicy and flavorful, it has gradually become famous.
Later, Xie Tianlu officially founded the North Sichuan Liangfen Shop, and his exclusive secret method of making Liangfen has also been passed down to future generations.
In the local area, there is a saying that "the northern Sichuan jelly is tender and fragrant, and it does not hurt to eat it three times a day", which shows people's love for the jelly.
The authentic northern Sichuan jelly, the raw materials and methods are very exquisite.
It should be made by hand by making Tuo powder, stirring powder, refining red oil, seasoning and 24 processes.
The good cold powder, simply add Boryeong vinegar, minced garlic, light soy sauce, salt, etc., it will melt in the mouth, Q elastic and smooth, which can be called a must in Nanchong cuisine.
Especially in summer, people who don't have much appetite can come to a bowl of North Sichuan Liangfen, absolutely.
The old taste of northern Sichuan is also between the lips and teeth, circulating for thousands of years, becoming the unique nostalgia and memory of Nanchong people.
And when it comes to cold powder, we have to talk about its "soul mate" pot helmet.
In Nanchong, the pot helmet and jelly is a business card of the city, and its reputation is far and wide.
If you don't come here and don't taste the pot helmet and cold powder once, you won't be considered to have been to Nanchong.
The reason why it is in the local area is that the craftsmanship of making pot helmets is unique.
Mix the flour and ghee, knead it repeatedly to form a flexible dough, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and place in the oven.
The pot helmet is baked just right, showing an attractive golden color and layers of crispiness.
With the pot helmet, pour the cold powder.
The brushed cold powder mixed with garlic water and red oil chili pepper is poured into the pot helmet that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the two-in-one delicacy is like nature.
Take a bite while it's hot, and the cold and smooth spicy experience will give the taste buds a powerful satisfaction.
Not to mention, the pot helmet soaked in red oil at the end of the meal is only known to those who have actually eaten it.
The Nanchong cuisine is far more than just cold noodles, pot helmets, and mutton rice noodles with good flavor.
Different from mutton rice noodles in other places, mutton rice noodles in Shunqing District, Nanchong, have unique methods and exquisite seasonings.
After rinsing the rice noodles with water, grab the bamboo wire drain, put it in the boiling soup pot, and repeatedly lift it 4-6 times before pouring it into the bowl;
After that, add mutton filling and exclusive boiled broth, plus Sichuan salt, monosodium glutamate, coriander grains, etc.
It can be served with fried dry oil or drizzled with a scoop of red oil.
The rice noodles are smooth and soft, the broth is fragrant and fishy, the soup is milky and white, and the umami is full.
Count nine in the cold winter, eat a bowl of mutton powder, fever and sweat, and dispel cold and dampness.
In addition, Zhang Fei beef, Yingshan cold noodles, southern fat intestine ......
The familiar Nanchong delicacies, the taste of tossing and turning on the tip of the tongue, are painted into the fireworks of the four sides of the city, comforting the people who come and go on stormy nights.
The wine is long, full of poems;
Delicious inheritance, engraved with the romance of history.
If you happen to be passing by Nanchong, don't rush to the colorful shops in the streets and alleys, taste delicious food, and desert.
Worry, you will inadvertently drift into the distance.
By the Jialing River, a thousand years of love
Among the poems describing Nanchong, the Jialing River is the most depicted.
There is Du Fu's "What is the color of the Jialing River, and the stone and jasper depend on each other." ”
After the Yuanzhi "Xinzheng County is in front of the moonlit night, and the stars are seen at the bottom of the Jialing River." ”
There is also a painting of the saint Wu Daozi painted in one day "Jialing River Three Hundred Miles of Scenery Map", which was praised by Tang Xuanzong, and hung high on the Datong Hall to enjoy every day.
It seems that the literati and writers have left the highest praise and the deepest thoughts to this clear and pure river.
Nowadays, walking along the riverside, the warm sun is warm, and the wind is smooth.
Take a walk along the park trail to see the beautiful gardens and hear the singing of waterfowl.
In a trance, there is a sense of birth that is not real.
The vicissitudes of the sea, now on the Jialing River, spanning 6 bridges, respectively connect Nanchong's administration, commerce, transportation, cultural tourism, etc., becoming a beautiful scenery in Nanchong.
The Jialing River, which is in it, is quiet and gentle, silent.
It has spanned thousands of years even through the ages, but it still does not forget the purest appearance at the beginning of the years.
According to historical records, the history and culture of Nanchong have a long history, with a history of more than 2,200 years.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Nanchong belonged to Shu and was one of the central areas of Bashu culture.
After Qin unified China, Nanchong became the jurisdiction of Changshan County, and began a long period of military fortresses.
As a convergence area of ribbon culture, Nanchong's unique geographical advantages have also left countless ancient ruins and cultural landscapes to future generations.
Following the footsteps of Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", along the West Mountain, you can see the Ten Thousand Scroll Building.
Looking at the top of the mountain, the carved beams and painted buildings, the light and melodious ancient rhyme, quiet and beautiful.
Zhouzi Ancient Town, named after Zhou Dunyi, the author of "Ai Lian Said", has a murmuring river, vast clouds and smoke, and birds flying high and low in the meantime.
Fuxi silkworm, the first silkworm of Xiling. ”
Walking into the silk town, old dormitory buildings, nostalgic trains, old-fashioned barber shops ......Every corner is full of traces of time
On the side of the mountain, on the side of the water, the colorful color that has been impregnated by history has achieved the unique urban charm of Nanchong;
And gave birth to the unique Spring Festival culture, the culture of the Three Kingdoms, the silk culture, and the Jialingjiang culture.
Today, the people who live here enjoy the benefits of urban development even more freely.
On weekends, taking the family to the viewing platform to look at the city's mountains and seas is a leisurely escape from the city.
Parent-child time, take children to White Horse Lake Park to watch swans snuggle, elegant and noble.
When you are tired and tired, go to Beihu Park to watch tourists check in and take pictures of the reflection of the small bridge.
So, I like this sentence I saw on the Internet:
"There are places where you can never find the scenic spots, and the beautiful scenery is hidden in life. ”When you walk through the impermanence of the world and walk through thousands of mountains and rivers, you might as well stop and stop in the quiet Nanchong.
Brush away the tiredness, wave away the tiredness, and let the body and mind feel comfortable and calm in the swaying of slow time.
The true nature of life is not to go through this hurried life at your own pace?
The sun sets, and the clouds return to the mountains and seas
Nanchong, which has a deep historical and cultural accumulation, gave birth to historical celebrities who are as bright as stars.
In a trance, Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu" and "Beauty Fu" appeared in his mind, and the rhythm of the subdued and frustrated music could not help but make people feel the literary and artistic style of Chinese culture.
In 2017, Sichuan Province launched the Sichuan Historical Celebrity Cultural Inheritance and Innovation Project, and launched the first batch of 10 Sichuan historical celebrities, and Nanchong Luoxiahong was selected.
In 2020, the second batch of Sichuan historical celebrities was announced, and Sima Xiangru and Chen Shou were selected in Nanchong.
Nanchong, through a thousand years, brilliant for a thousand years.
Today's Nanchong is still full of talents.
They come from all walks of life, but they all shine in their respective fields.
Hu Jinzhen, a professor at the Institute of Rare Animals and Plants of China West Normal University and a world-renowned expert on giant pandas, is known as the "Panda Professor" and selected as one of the "Top 100 Scientists of the Century in Sichuan" for summing up the "Hu method" for studying wild giant pandas through giant panda feces.
Sichuan Sister" Zhang Shan, won the women's skeet team competition at the World Championships in 2007, and the total score of 214 broke the world record;
In 2012, she won the gold medal in the women's skeet two-way team at the 12th Asian Shooting Championships.
There are talented people from generation to generation, and they have led ** for hundreds of years.
The natural environment of Nanchong has given birth to countless outstanding pillars.
The humanistic roots engraved in the long river of time, the cultural vitality of the old and the new, have also cultivated the unique urban foundation of Nanchong.
Romance is the "gene" in Nanchong's bones.
It's just that the romance defined by Nanchong is the daily life of the whole city when the sun sets, and the reflection like a mirror and the intoxication of the lights at the beginning of the day.
After seeing the neon lights of the big city, in the streets and alleys of Nanchong, stopping and stopping, slowing down the time always inadvertently makes people lose their way.
Walk through Medical Street, walk through the 1227 Night Market, sit down at random in the Wetland Park, in front of you:
Children practice frisbee in pairs, happily play with rings, or learn puzzles with their parents, and happily take over the kite ...... their parents
The cozy atmosphere is intertwined with the laughter and laughter of childhood, and my thoughts are suddenly pulled back to my childhood.
The sunset returns to the mountains and seas, and the mountains and seas hide deep meanings.
Many people go out of half their lives to find poetry and distance in their hearts;
Looking back, I realized that we had the best time for a long time.
Because we are never far away, but home.
In the new year, if you feel that life is difficult outside, or you are stuck in a trough and can't extricate yourself, you might as well return to your hometown and return to Nanchong.
Rest, tidy up, and set off again.
Nanchong, with this kind of magic, gives you a carnival of reunion after a long absence.
