Today, I will share with you this excerpt from"City Monsoon" "Special Issue" - in Minhang, Meet Shanghai".In the book "New Haoshang", let's take a look at the evolution of Haoshang Village into Minhang Cultural Park, and feel the change of the city together.
New number
Zihuan. It is difficult to look at Minhang Cultural Park with the concept of a classical Chinese garden. People who have visited traditional gardens generally have this experience: people will unconsciously follow the guidance of winding paths and pavilions, along the way can watch fish in the pond, can enjoy the flowers and branches as windows, can wait in the pavilion for the moon and the wind, somehow, in the garden will be willing to obey nature. Because of its huge area, Minhang Cultural Park is difficult to be small and compact, because of the lack of pavilions and pavilions, the sense of hierarchy is also not good, but as a park in the modern sense, it still has its unique "live" scenery and profound history and culture.
As the characteristic flower species of the park, the entrance of the large piece of white magnolia is fascinating, the skin is snow under the sun, exquisitely clear, the red magnolia flower has not yet opened, just like Bai Juyi's pen "purple chalk with pointed flame, red rouge dyed small lotus", visitors gradually enter the better situation. Then the trees are far and near, the colors are dark, the terrain is high and low, and the scenery is dense, which makes people fragrant and dizzy. The park introduces water from the Puhuitang River according to local conditionsThe scenery in the garden is alive because of the water, the willow branches and green shadows are like weaving, the river water is transparent, the boat is getting farther and farther, I know that there is a border in the distance, but there is a boundless meaning, as if the boat was really going to travel far, the meaning of the willow branches by the river was a little better, and the birdsong on the trees was a little sadder. In fact, the size, the finite and the infinite are relative, and the reasonable structure makes the sense of space and sound beyond reality. On the other hand, if the park scenery is too bland and empty, then no matter how big it is, it will be small.
There are in traditional Chinese aesthetics"Containment".The word means:"More than subtle, deep accumulation".Therefore, another important reason why Minhang Cultural Park can always attract tourists is its rich cultural content.
Although it has been demolished for almost ten years, it is still marked on the mobile phone map, and it can be roughly inferred that it is close to the No. 2 gate area of the park close to Wuzhong Road. Some scholars have proposed that the original writing of "No. " is an ancient wine container, and it has been confirmed that there were many workshops that made "", so that the life of the ancient villagers can be glimpsed, and the wine-making customs of the people here have also been **. This is an archaeological story about the emotional connection between Haoshang Village and Minhang Cultural ParkFor me, the evolution of Haoshang Village into today's Minhang Cultural Park represents the decline of ancient villages and the general law of urban development
When I was looking for information about Minhang Cultural Park, I accidentally came across a short article about the memories of Haoshang Village. As a child in a foreign land, the author followed her parents who worked here, and spent winter and summer vacations in the streets and alleys of the village one after another, and more than ten years later, she still can't forget the people and things at that time. I also spent my childhood in the old neighborhoods of Minhang, which have now been almost completely demolished and replaced by parks and green spaces. Because I had the same experience, I can feel the loss, butIn the metabolism of the city, it always has a new look to serve the new generation and new needs, and those things that seem to be old sesame seeds and rotten grains have always been recorded and missed, gradually laying a clear and visible development trajectory for this land
The change of the city is inevitable, but the relationship between people, land and culture has never been interrupted, when we are surrounded by the complicated entertainment life, and gradually feel the lack of spirit, it is better to go to the park, in the flowers and birds to find the artistic conception of beauty, in the ruins of the old place to seek spiritual understanding.
Since its inception in 2013, City Monsoon has gone through ten years. Integrating culture, life, fashion and information, it interprets the urban culture with rich heritage from a high-grade, all-round and multi-perspective perspective, and tells the story of the city in the development process. "Urban Monsoon" is a story about water and salt, "with which comes the spoonful of salt that dissolves in the water and disperses in the air, or the old and the present, or the breath of the past and the present." If this evokes a faint memory of that little spoonful of salt for you and me, it is already the deepest part of this monsoon that the monsoon has managed to reach.
Ten years have passed, and now I am starting again, walking in the streets and alleys of Minhang, walking through the gaps of time, and compiling the original book with a new perspective and mentality"City Monsoon" "Special Issue" - in Minhang, Meet Shanghai".A book, and finally hand over this key to open Minhang to your hands. It is hoped that through these words, readers will have a new understanding of Minhang, understand the civilization and cultural genes of Minhang and Shanghai, revisit the genetic inheritance and urban spirit of Shanghai, and look forward to more readers falling in love with this city by walking into Minhang.
*: Minhang today.
