Tianjinwei Tianjinwei is a city with four flavors. Tianjinwei

In today's cities, the modern shell can be completely copied; The core hidden inside, which embodies unique culture, spirit and taste, is not something you can touch clearly in a couple of days. The ancient city of Jinmen, lying in the arms of Haihe River, is such a city that can withstand all kinds of tastes and touches. Let me put its core in the "taste"-make a logo, so that people who are preparing to come to Tianjin and are on their way in the Olympic year can quickly enter the state.

Let's talk about Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium. It is located in the southwest of Tianjin, bordering Weijin South Road in the east, Shangshui West Road in the west, Lingshui Waterway in the south and Binshui West Road in the north. The whole area is divided into three areas: competitive area, comprehensive area and residential area. The competition area includes a large stadium, a water sports center, an international sports exchange center and the completed Tianjin Gymnasium. Now, you can take the CRH 3 "Harmony" EMU with a speed of 394.3 kilometers per hour and drive on the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway at a speed of 25 minutes and 1 seconds, and you can go from Beijing to Tianjin to watch the football preliminaries.

Next, let's talk about the four flavors of Tianjin in my eyes: Wei flavor, umami flavor, golden flavor and foreign flavor.

smack

Tianjin people's mantra is "Really smack ……", and what Tianjin Wei can most smack is the "smack" of cross talk. Crosstalk first came to Tianjin in the early years of Guangxu. A Manchu named Yu Erfu went to Tianjin Beikai Market to sell art, thus bringing crosstalk into Tianjin. When it comes to cross talk, people think of Ma Sanli's "teasing you" and Degang Guo, a Tianjin child who is quite popular now. It is said that once Degang Guo returned to his hometown of Tianjin to hold a special cross talk performance, some cross talk fanatics rode bicycles from Beijing to Tianjin.

People in Tianjin usually talk like crosstalk, and both men, women and children like to listen to crosstalk. Some crosstalk fans can even memorize the whole crosstalk jokes. Soaking in a celebrity teahouse, the props for watching Tianjin people listen to cross talk are a cup of tea, a pot of water and a packet of fried melon seeds. The taste of tea, smoke and orange peel here is a mixture of the folk taste that Lao Tianjin Wei has preserved to this day, and the local culture of Tianjin can be captured here. Listening to the sound of eating melon seeds, shouting, drinking tea, and laughing, you will feel very close to the life of Tianjin people.

As soon as you get off the train and get into a taxi, the master in Tianjin will say to you: Tianjin, there is nothing to eat, nothing to play, and only two mouths are left! Tianjin's "taste" began with two mouths on these four wheels.

umami

There is a saying from the old Tianjin people: if you eat seafood, you can't pass it. Not to mention "seafood" but "sea goods", the momentum of swallowing the river and spitting the sea is obvious. "Dangdang" means that there is no money. I took everything at home that is worth three melons and two dates to the pawn shop and exchanged it for some money. In this situation, we should not buy some stick noodles quickly, steam a few steamed buns and pad a family-sized belly. But Tianjin people don't dare to buy sea goods with the money from Dangdang.

The restaurants selling seafood in the streets and alleys of Tianjin have a "post" in three steps and a "whistle" in five steps. They go up to five-star hotels and down to the "dog food" restaurant, where they all steam crabs and roast prawns. "Five" is a good time to eat Portunus trituberculatus, and all the crabs are covered with yellow heads. It's expensive, too. It costs more than 1 yuan a catty. Kind-hearted bosses will hold up the sign "Crabs are expensive, please be careful", and this will not stop gluttonous diners. Crabs are carefully selected, each bigger than the palm of a burly man's hand, steamed bright red, piled high in large plates, and the speed is like the assembly line of the workshop, so it can't be supplied; Jiang Mo's crab meat dipped in "Duliu Old Vinegar" has just arrived at the mouth, and the delicious taste suddenly penetrated the five internal organs-that's it, where can it be stopped?

Tianjin people love to eat, know how to eat, and are willing to eat. From eating goods in the season to matching food with ingredients, Tianjin people have a thorough understanding. Goubuli, 18th Street Twist, Fried Cake with Ears, Cats Don't Smell jiaozi, in addition, there are traditional Tianjin dishes represented by Eight Bowls and Four Grilled Bars, as well as pancake eggs, pancake fruit, boiled fish with cakes, crispy rice dishes and so on. Goubuli steamed buns fresh out of the drawer are like autumn chrysanthemums in bud in the mist. When you take a bite, they are oily, fragrant and not greasy, and each steamed bun has no less than 15 pleats.

Jinwei

Tianjin, also known as "Golden Jinmen", has been closely associated with the city since it became a terminal distribution center: Tianjin Mint General Factory, once famous, was the largest and most advanced mint center in the late Qing Dynasty and became a well-deserved benchmark and model in the same industry at that time; As early as 1 years ago, the "Tianjin Official Bank", located in the northeast corner of the old city, was well known. There are many banks and money houses all over the streets, which make the neighboring friendship cities look forward to each other.

There is a "golden" street in Tianjin, which runs west along the coast through jiefang bridge, and it is the "Wall Street" in Tianjin-Heping Road. After HSBC opened in this street in 1882, eight foreign commercial banks from America, Japan and France swarmed in. Before the 2th century, Tianjin's financial exchanges depended on banks, even foreign banks had to rely on them, and the combination of local and foreign countries made silver, precious banknotes, copper coins, bank notes and foreign money circulate simultaneously. It has evolved for hundreds of years, and the "golden taste" of Heping Road has not diminished. After the transformation, Heping Road, such as Wangfujing in Beijing, and Binjiang Road, such as Huaihai Road in Shanghai, crossed all the way and drew a "golden cross". This most prosperous business district is the boundary where Tianjin people "go to the market", foreigners visit shops and foreigners visit the old places. On the "Golden Street", bustling people and dazzling things are seamlessly spliced together.

Business has created Tianjin, and it has also created the personality of Tianjin people. Because of grain transportation and trading, because of cooperation and credibility, Tianjin people pay attention to openness, openness and tolerance.

foreign flavor

"Beijing quadrangle, Tianjin Xiaoyanglou". Tianjin has not only folk culture and grass-roots culture, but also its fashion is no less than that of Beijing.

Tianjin people are compatible with Chinese and western cultures. Located on Fifth Avenue, more than 23 small foreign buildings from Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and other countries gather here. From Gothic to Baroque, from romanesque architecture to Byzantine, the medieval southern European style and the 19th century eclectic style ... Overall, the "World Architecture Expo" is well-deserved. Racecourse Road is the earliest, widest and longest road built in the Fifth Avenue area. The Xiaoyanglou at No.121 Racecourse Road is called "Da Wen Tu Lou", which was originally inhabited by British scholar Da Wen Shi. The typical Spanish garden villa is the earliest building on Fifth Avenue. The "Knot Building" at the junction of Racecourse Road and Hebei Road is the former residence of Ma Lianliang, a famous Peking Opera star. In addition, there is Zhang Yuan, where Puyi lived, and the residence of Xiao Dezhang, a eunuch in the Qing Dynasty ... The residents here, whether military and political dignitaries or successful industrialists, all wanted to be comfortable and quiet under the social background of hard luck at that time. The overall tendency of the house is low, and the architectural design is ingenious, which is suitable for living in a secret meeting. Nowadays, the excitement of Tianjin seems to be silent with the end of the Beiyang government era. The unassuming personality just proves the history of this group of European-style small foreign buildings, and many foreign guests like to stop here.

When foreign things arrive in Tianjin, Tianjin people can always make them suitable for their own tastes. At that time, the success of the Western-style food in Chihlin was that it was not the original Western-style food, but added to the taste of China people. Its special dish, braised beef in pot, is no different from braised beef in China, except that the green onions are replaced by onions, and Chinese food is eaten in the west.

the history of Tianjin is a hundred years' struggle history of modern China. Xiaoyanglou is to Tianjin, just like the Eiffel Tower is to Paris. It is not only touched by the realistic sunshine, but also covered by the branches and leaves of history. The character, temperament, joy and sadness of the city are branded on its skin.
