Best strategy for one-day tour in Jianshui

Jianshui is a charming and beautiful place, attracting a large number of tourists every day. There are a group of simple residents living here, retaining traditional virtues, and it is an ideal place to play and relax.

When we walked east along the road, the biggest building we saw at first was this "Lin 'an Hotel", which is also the best hotel in Jianshui. Jianshui in ancient times was called "Lin 'an", and another city called "Lin 'an" is now Hangzhou. As a result, Lin 'an in Yunnan was changed to Jianshui today.

Go further and see an ancient city building "Yongzhen Gate", which should be the north gate.

The first thing to go today is the vegetable market, which is located in the urban area. There is a street morning market here, which the locals call "Han Jia Vegetable Market".

This is my favorite vegetable market, hidden in a winding old street lane. In the morning, people released vegetables and agricultural by-products, crowded with people who traded, and many farmers even came from far away.

Yunnan, also known as the south of colorful clouds, means far away. For a long time, it was covered with a mysterious veil. Now, due to the convenient transportation, more and more people come here to travel, do business or explore. So what is the most Yunnan?

Some people think that Yunnan has the most beautiful scenery, some people think that it is a unique lifestyle of ethnic minorities, and some people think that it has a climate like spring all year round.

And I think the most Yunnan is its rich products, the most selfless giving and generosity from heaven, and too much to eat. These are the most authentic manifestations in the farmer's market, so when I go to Yunnan, my favorite place to go is the vegetable market, and every time I make new discoveries.

Jianshui, a temporary vegetable market, is crowded in a street, with a total length of100-200m. It was crowded early in the morning, and all the sellers arrived early. Although there are some fixed booths, most of them are randomly placed, and whoever comes first takes up the place. Later people had to be wronged in the corner.

The biggest feature here is that most of the surrounding farmers come to set up stalls, and all the vegetables they sell are planted by themselves or collected from the mountains.

Although farmers sell vegetables, the dishes here are clean, and they pay special attention to placement. It seems that the placement and color matching are intentional. I have never seen a more exquisite "aesthetics of vegetable market collocation" (big brother language in China) anywhere else.

The most important thing is that you can see a lot of things you don't know, have never seen or eaten here, which can be said to be an eye-opener.

I shot a lot of peppers this time. I didn't expect the variety of Jianshui pepper to be so rich. I saw one or twenty different varieties in a market.

A little girl sells wild vegetables, and 2 yuan has a handful of money. She said she picked it from the mountain. I want to buy two, but she doesn't have WeChat, so she can only use RMB. But I rummaged through the few one-dollar coins in her pocket, but I didn't expect the girl to shake her head and refuse.

This is beyond my expectation. How can there be a place where coins are not needed? Big brother in the country said that people here only recognize paper money, not coins, and finally he had to find someone to break it.

Seeing a local market is the easiest place to get close to the local people and understand their living habits and eating habits, and it is also the most direct and easy place to understand the folk customs and all beings.

Not far from the vegetable market, there is an ancient building called "curry house".

This is an Amin dynasty building. It is said that the East Gate Building (Chaoyang Building) in Jianshui was built only a few years later. Dongmen Building was built in the 22nd year of Ming Hongwu (1389), 63 1 year ago. It is very similar to Tiananmen Square in Beijing, and it is also a contemporary building.

The "Currie House" has been renovated, but I was not like this before, and it was very shabby (as shown below). I also wrote an article calling for protection.

It's finally fixed. Although it is not satisfactory, it can't collapse, and there is no danger for people around to move here.

To the east is an old street and lane, which is a bit shabby now, but the buildings on both sides are very old, and you can see the long past.

Big brother in the country saw an acquaintance here. He said Jianshui City was the last one to pull water. It turns out that there are many ancient wells in Jianshui City, Gu Quan, but there are great differences from place to place. Simon's water is the best, which leads to a "water seller". He pulls water with a carriage and sells it along the street, mainly for people who make tea. This is the last "water seller" to pull a cart.

The water seller said that he quit last year and sold his horse. Now he is worried about moving here, but he has no other choice, so he has no intention of doing anything.

Walking through a long and winding narrow street, an "almond" went out of the wall. Imagine this is a good place to take portraits.

Out of the alley, it is a very conspicuous big yard, called "Zeng Family Courtyard".

Seeing that the gate was open, we went in. As soon as we entered the gate, there were two courtyards with front and back gates respectively. This seems to be a very big house. Let's go to the front yard first.

The whole family is in this yard, and they are very enthusiastic about our visit. According to the owner, this ancestral home was built in 19 12, covering an area of six acres with a building area of 2,300 square meters. The whole house is in the plane layout of "six two outside five halls and five flower halls below", which is divided into three floors: front, middle and back.

The Zeng family is a descendant of Zeng Shen, that is, Ceng Zi. He was a thinker in the late Spring and Autumn Period, a master of Confucianism and one of Confucius' disciples in his later years. The builder of the house, Zeng Ruxing, is the 69th grandson of Zeng Shen, a famous Jianshui family.

The ancestors of the Zeng family were mainly engaged in business and official positions. Because the Tsengs are all scholars, they are the most respected. This family is also full of cultural atmosphere, which embodies a strong cultural atmosphere in the whole building of the house.

There is a kind old woman in her nineties in the room. Before she retired, she was the principal of a local primary school. Now she still reads books and newspapers with a magnifying glass and cares about state affairs. The old man is in good health and very kind. She told us the ins and outs of this ancestral home. She said that the front yard is still inhabited by the descendants of the Zeng family. Because of the care and maintenance of the descendants of the Zeng family, although it has been 100 years, the house is still very good and there is no major damage.

Out of the front yard, we went to the backyard to have a look. There seem to be several here. I feel very chaotic, and there is no trace of scholarly family.

Out of the Zeng compound, we walked "sweeping the street" at will. There are many old houses here. If you see anything you are interested in, go in and have a look.

Big brother in the country knows this place very well. He said there were several families living in the bigger yard. If the door is open, you can go in. The host will be very polite, but if the door is closed, don't go in.

Walking, I saw the ancient well. There are many ancient wells in Jianshui, including one eye, two eyes, three eyes and four eyes. It has a history of hundreds or hundreds of years.

Look at this trace made by the rope on the wall of the shaft, and you will know how long it has been used until today.

Not far away, I saw another well with two eyes. Isn't it interesting?

Tired from walking and hungry, I have arrived in Randeng Temple.

Randeng Temple, founded in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, is one of Jianshui Buddhist scenic spots. The present building was rebuilt in the fourth year of Guangxu (1878), and it is a monastery.

Randeng Temple is located in Jianshui City, with a small scale, but strong incense and well-built temples. I always come to Jianshui, and I am a vegetarian here. Today is no exception.

Vegetarianism in Randeng Temple is foreign, and its main target is the surrounding people and migrant workers. Only five yuan per person, and four or five dishes. The ingredients are very good. I like them very much.

I don't know how long Randeng Temple fasted, but my eldest brother in the country said that he often came to eat in the early years, when he just came to Jianshui for development. He basically eats two meals a day in the temple, not only for lunch, but also for breakfast (rice noodles). The price has not changed in recent years.

After Randeng Temple became a vegetarian, we went to a nearby teahouse. Besides selling tea, we also sell boiled water to people around us. Everyone around "Ximen Boiling Water" knows that the water is delicious, which laid the foundation for the teahouse.

Sit down and spend 1.5 yuan, buy a cup of tea and enjoy yourself. Some old people will bring their own tea, just pay a little boiled water, except that the price is low here. They want an atmosphere, meet old friends, play cards and chess, and have a shelter from the wind and rain, so that life will be more interesting.

After sitting for a long time, we went to see the oldest building in Jianshui, which is located in Jianshui Mosque and part of the ancient mosque.

When asked whether this ancient building was built in the Yuan Dynasty, people in the mosque told me that this house existed when the mosque was built, with a history of 707 years.

In China, many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties have been protected, but there are not many ancient buildings in Yuan Dynasty, which should be very precious. However, this house lacks the necessary protection, and some of them are in danger and need urgent maintenance.

In the afternoon, we went back to the inn to rest. Big Brother in the country took me to taste "Ximen Barbecue", which is a special barbecue shop and an online celebrity shop. We have been to CCTV and made feature films, which is the image representative shop of Jianshui barbecue. (Note: The store has been closed due to relocation)

The shopkeeper Lao Li is hospitable and his daughter Xiao Li is beautiful.

And how to build water without tasting Jianshui tofu? Tofu is a major brand of Jianshui, and baked tofu is the favorite food of Jianshui people. There are small pieces of tofu selling bags everywhere in the market, and there must be stalls baking tofu in the restaurant.

Boiled tofu has become the brand and representative of Jianshui food culture. People who have been to Jianshui will still remember the delicious baked tofu even if they forget everything.

Lao Li said that her daughter's tofu is well baked and beautifully placed, which is related to her delicate personality. She worked hard, and the baked tofu was tender and tempting. Dipped in the secret water, she couldn't forget the charm and taste of Jianshui, which was firmly locked in her memory from her mouth.

Walking back in the evening, we passed the workshop of Jianshui ceramist "Crazy Yan Gang" and called us in for tea.

Crazy Yan Gang is one of thousands of ceramists in Jianshui. He doesn't pursue fame, but he has to support his family. So he has to work long hours every day and has no other hobbies except drinking. His works are mainly practical, not only beautiful, but also easy to use. Crazy people are rigorous and serious.

But the madman is a very mature ceramist. Not only do I like him, but also many people customize and buy with him. This also makes him very satisfied. There is wine, tea and friends in life, and it is enough to recognize his pottery.
