The Surviving "Real Ancient Town" Suji

Third, in order to eat, I have to go once.

There are many ancient towns in Jiazhou, and Suu Kyi is the best at math.

The ancient town can be said to be a regional representative that people love and hate. Since it entered our field of vision, it has witnessed its gradual process from prosperity to dullness.

The reason is that "homogeneity" and "commercialization" always revolve around these two points. This is also the label that most people put on the ancient town.

Now, are there any ancient towns with real ancient rhyme?

Yes, it's just too little and too low-key. Suji ancient town is one of them!

Immersed in time, with the years mottled, washed away by the process of the times, but what remains is history, memory and feelings.

Up to now, the legacy of the ancient town, the old street and the old house, and the residual temperature of the Millennium ancient town have been preserved. It is also the only remaining ancient town in Leshan.

The editorial team dedicated to excavating all the rural ancient towns around the city highly praised Amway's "immortal ancient town"-Suji.

The reason, then look down ...

In Suji, I saw the true face of the ancient town.

Someone once used this passage to describe this ancient town: it does not use the old name as a gimmick, but naturally continues the beauty of the old life and has the cuteness of fireworks.

From ancient times to the present, there is a saying that there are many ancient towns in Jiazhou, among which Suu Kyi is the most.

It is conceivable that what kind of surprise Suu Kyi brought to people in the Millennium will make such a swan song.

What kind of ancient town is Suji?

There are no resplendent resort hotels, no high-end commercial streets, and no local residents who recommend tourists without catching them. These are the most common scenes in ancient towns, big and small, in China, but there is no shadow in Suu Kyi.

The Emei River, formed in the Sui Dynasty, divides Suu Kyi into two parts, with a flooded stone bridge connecting the two ends from south to north. Low-key and steady Suu Kyi has gone through a long history of 1400 years.

It wasn't called Suu Kyi before. In ancient times, people called it "osmanthus field". With the change of dynasties, the administrative "official titles" and names have also changed: the Tang Dynasty changed to Suji garrison, the Song Dynasty set up Suji town, and the Qing Dynasty set up Sujipu and Suji township.

Until now, it has become a tourist attraction with rich cultural history-Suji ancient town, although locals are still used to calling it Suji town.

There are also several legends about the origin of Suu Kyi's name: one is related to Su Shi, a great writer, who studied here during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. Another way of saying it is that there once lived a hermit named Su Mingji. Of course, the second statement is more reliable.

Compared with the simple and low-key now, Suu Kyi thousands of years ago can be said to be "high-profile" famous!

Of course, the "high profile" here comes from its unusual geographical location. Qingyi River and Emei River pass through, so there are many bridges, which bear the surrounding commercial and traffic fortress.

Naturally, more and more merchants gather here, and when they arrive at the market, the quiet town becomes a boiling world.

Until now, Suu Kyi still retains the custom of going to the market every time she orders. This is one of the reasons why Suji can be called a "real ancient town".

Whenever there is busy farming, the surrounding villagers will pick up the specialties planted and raised at home and go to Suji.

Most of the people who come to the scene are elderly people, and every time they come to "go to the appointment", they are also local residents. On the bustling stone bridge, there are some vendors who set up stalls and operate directly on the ground. Eggs, honey, washers and lights line up along the stone bridge. Motorcycles and bicycles shuttle through the crowd, riding from one end of the bridge to the other.

Compared with ancient times, the big market that looks very lively may be less than half. After all, the ancient Suji has the reputation of "hometown of dragon lanterns" and "hometown of calligraphy and painting".

Suu Kyi not only has a long history, but also lies in the ancient customs and living habits that people have observed each other for thousands of years, as well as ancient buildings.

If you ask your first impression of Suu Kyi, I believe nine out of ten people will say "shabby".

Of course, the "shabby" here is more of a compliment. Few ancient towns can really preserve the ancient houses and bridges that have been preserved for thousands of years. There is no secondary transformation, no beautification, and the original appearance is restored.

Walking on the streets of the ancient town, wooden houses with a sense of the times can be seen everywhere. If you look closely, you will see the words "ancient wooden structure building" engraved on the wooden door.

In some century-old buildings, elderly people still open shops to buy all kinds of daily necessities, thinking, "What a waste! Such historical buildings are used to sell pots and pans." But if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable, although it seems so inappropriate.

The wooden houses on both sides of the old street are as old as the old man's face, but people only love this simple and real street.

Over the years, countless photographers, carrying long guns and short guns, have been the most diligent runners, that is, Suu Kyi.

Those high walls, old houses, courtyards, docks, streets, stone bridges and river banks all have memories, with yellowed colors and engraved with the vicissitudes of time.

The ancient town of Suji is small in scale, with only an old street and an ancient bridge over the water.

From Xinqiao Street to Qiaotou, turn left along the river to Yang Wharf, and turn right to Banbian Street. From half a block to the river, it is Shazuitian. On the other side of Xinqiao Street and the ancient bridge, the street directly behind Shangkan is Duichang Street.

The street on both sides of the corner is called Guihua Road, which deals in beef and sets up an open-air teahouse along the river. According to the original protection, the artistic conception and charm of Suji ancient town will be passed on.

In the ancient town of Suji, in addition to the famous beef restaurant, the rest of the old street are all kinds of agricultural products and home-cooked dishes picked by villagers, as well as shoe repair stalls and bamboo dustpan handicrafts that are about to disappear.

Although the ancient town is in its twilight years, although there are no extravagant tourists, it is also the "happiness in the present" of the elderly.

Eat Sichuan style in Leshan.

In addition to the quaint customs, Suji has become an "immortal ancient town" in people's mouths, and that is the food. (Next, the editor who changed the style of painting left saliva for Amway.)

There is a saying that "food is in Sichuan and taste is in Leshan", and Suji ancient town naturally occupies a place in this "taste".

Suu Kyi is conscientious and practical, and always does her best. For example, beef liver, beef tongue, beef heart and tripe can also be made into intangible cultural heritage.

The streets are full of old brands. This sentence is really not bragging!

/short beef/

Suji is the birthplace of beef on stilts, and everyone knows it! If you want to eat the most authentic beef on stilts, you really have to come to Su Ji.

It is said that in the past, dock workers were short of money and needed oil and water for heavy work, so they cooked cheaper beef offal. Because there was no stool, they sat on the dock and ate it, hence the name Tiptoe Beef.

Eating two bowls of authentic beef and drinking several cups of rice wine are the habits of generations in Suji ancient town. That natural pleasure is enough to make everyone feel comfortable.

/Tofu brain/

In many places, tofu brains are fake. I want to say this for a long time, because the real tofu brain is not a piece of tofu and add some soy sauce vinegar!

Sticky and waxy soybean milk and molded bean curd, crispy whistle, steamed meat, crispy peanuts, red pepper, kohlrabi, chopped green onion and celery are indispensable.

/Tofu pudding/

Snow-white tofu, soft and sticky, soaked in soup, with a small fire under the pot and hot air on the pot, is the warmth of winter.

/popcorn/

Su Ji is most famous for popcorn, except for beef on stilts. You can also eat all kinds of popcorn here, which is crisp and fragrant.

/Fried fish/

Suji is by the river, with little pollution. Small fish in the river are thrown into the pot and fried. The medium fire is glug, fried crisp and tender, and can be eaten directly with thorns.

In addition to the above, there are many special snacks, fried skewers and so on. You can say that in order to eat, you have to go to Suu Kyi!

Seeing Suu Kyi now, I have to sigh: a better life stems from the persistence of the older generation. Nowadays, young people may just regard beef on stilts as a delicacy, but for the old people in Suji ancient town, beef on stilts is their lifelong memory.

Nowadays, it is indispensable for people to remember this low-key ancient town.

It can be said that Suji ancient town has made stilt beef, and stilt beef has also become a must in Suji ancient town.

This is Suji, the simplest and oldest "ancient town".
