As soon as you enter the wax moon, the New Year's flavor of Bozhou Beiguan Historic District (Beiguan Old Street) will come to your face.
On the old street of Huaxilou, in all kinds of shops, the fat is fragrant, and the smell of fried small dumplings, burnt hemp leaves, and burnt balls fills the entire street and alley. Cooking oil over a blazing fire, putting delicious food into the pot, frying unique flowers in boiling oil, and then, fragrant all over the street, this is the taste of Layue. The New Year, in the end, is still time. In the lights of thousands of homes, the family sits together, sharing the delicious fried characteristics, between the lips and teeth, the crispy steamed dumplings and hemp leaves are like the broken years of the old year, the old year and the new year, everything is instantly intoxicating.
There are customs in my hometown, after eating Laba porridge, the flower opera building temple fair square is like weaving. In addition to the intangible cultural heritage performances and special food in the square, the Menshen Street behind the square is also red. In the old days, Menshen Street was mainly used for printing and operating Menshen. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the entire Beiguan Old Street has a street and a product, a thing and a city, and the door god on the door god street is to be pasted by every household in the New Year. On the red rice paper, there are printmaking door gods, woodblock New Year paintings sold in Suzhou Taohuawu, and calligraphers splash ink on the spot, write a pair of old-style Spring Festival couplets, and have a new-style Spring Festival, which contrasts ancient and modern, complementing each other.
The New Year is approaching, and Beiguan Old Street is a classroom. There are old people walking on the street with their grandchildren, telling them about the origin of the door god and the Spring Festival couplets. Peach Fu, Shen Di, Yu Lei, Qin Qiong, Yu Chi Gong ......The children listened attentively. Traditional culture is like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting in the heart of a young boy.
Menshen Street goes south, that is, Shenlong Lane. This year is the Year of the Dragon, and a walk around Shenlong Lane has become the new fashion of the old street. The older generation often says, "Take a walk in Shenlong Alley, and the spirit of the dragon and tiger is good"; Some people also said, "Probe the probe in Shenlong Lane, and you won't have to worry about anything in the New Year......".And so on and so forth. The old year swings its tail at the intersection of the seasons, and the new year quietly raises its head at another starting point, everything is the appearance of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
An appointment with the dragon has become a beautiful scenery of Beiguan Old Street. In the whole neighborhood, in addition to Shenlong Lane, other dragon-related place names and cultural elements are also popular. It is believed that looking up in front of the gate of Huaxilou Mountain, and taking a photo in front of the auspicious wood carving of the dragon and phoenix, it will be able to make a good year of the dragon; Buy a copper hot pot in the Qinglong copper shop, and you can start a year of "prosperity". Xinglong Lane is crowded, although this "Long" is not the other "dragon", it is not bad to ask for a good fortune: everything is prosperous in business, and everything is prosperous at home. Mingwangtai is the former site where Han Lin'er, the "little Ming King" at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, established the "dragon and phoenix regime", and many couples pray here for the dragon and phoenix to be harmonious and ...... for a hundred yearsEverything is as it should be. On the way to the New Year of the Dragon, every street and alley of Beiguan Old Street is full of red lanterns, blue bricks and gray tiles, old and new, and it looks like they are shrouded in auspicious light, and there is more than auspiciousness.
The B&Bs in Beiguan Old Street are also quite distinctive, and many foreign tourists will choose to spend the New Year in the three residential halls in the block in pursuit of ancient customs and freshness. In the courtyard, the Spring Festival came to the door, the red carpet was paved, the lights were colorful, the family sat together, eating the hot Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, toasting, keeping the New Year and welcoming the new year, how fast, how happy!
