The story of Pingjiang Road

? When it comes to Jiangnan, small bridges flow. Wuzhen, Zhouzhuang and Tongli are all familiar to us, but Pingjiang Road is the spiritual resting place of the old Suzhou people, like a reserved girl, staying there quietly.

Pingjiang Road, an old historical and cultural street in Suzhou, is a path along the river. Suzhou was also called Pingjiang in Song and Yuan Dynasties, so it was named Pingjiang Road, which is a microcosm of the ancient city.

When I first arrived at Pingjiang Road, it was still very hot in June, and I felt a little tired and lazy. I glanced at it and didn't pay attention to stopping at those high-end shops. The first time I was in such a hurry, I met a cat at the corner and ate a lovely brown Garfield. I ate Suzhou's special snacks-sweet-scented osmanthus red bean glutinous dumplings porridge and sweet-scented osmanthus chicken head rice. I have to admit that Suzhou snacks are very poetic and classical. I only love the fragrance and elegance of osmanthus, which pervades this long and narrow street. ...

I know, the story is not over. ...

The second time I went to Pingjiang Road, it was already the rainy season in Suzhou. The weather is wet and rainy, very refreshing. I strolled leisurely on Pingjiang Road, and the rain beat on the bluestone road. I can't help but think of Dai Wangshu's Rain Lane, "Walking alone in the rain lane with an oil-paper umbrella, the girl who is as sad as cloves …" There is an oil-paper umbrella shop on Pingjiang Road, with different sizes. I remember that when I was a senior in Xianyang last year, I bought an oil-paper umbrella in the style of blue-and-white porcelain from the Internet because of my love for oil-paper umbrellas, and made various poses on the wall of Xi 'an, looming out. ...

On Pingjiang Road, there are many Su-style cheongsam shops, some of which are embroidered with Su embroidery. I feel that all kinds of cheongsam will make people fascinated and dazzled. I imagine myself as a female student of the Republic of China, wearing an elegant cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella, waiting for the tram ... Because of this yearning, I took a group of photos with the theme of oil-paper umbrella on Pingjiang Road, which was a light yellow coat and a long brown dress decorated with dandelion patterns. I am very satisfied with the photographer's photos. Perhaps, I will stay in this corner of Suzhou all my life, watch the four seasons in Suzhou, wear different styles of cheongsam to record the light and shadow of the years, and give myself an elegant memory. ...

? When I came to Suzhou last year, I went to the "Cat's Sky City" in Shantang Street, which was as quiet and warm as a cat's nest. Now that the empty cat shop in Shantang Street has been demolished, memories come to mind unconsciously. There is also a "Cat Sky City" on Pingjiang Road, which also has the local characteristics of Suzhou. In front of classical houses and courtyards, there is always a cat-empty theme scene: a red mailbox, a blue lounge chair and a street sign painted with the words "Suzhou Cat-empty Lilac Shop". ...

Walking in the alleys where Pingjiang Road crosses, such as Niujia Lane and Lilac Lane, you will always see hand-painted ink-and-wash Jiangnan paintings on the lane walls, which is very enjoyable. ...

The story of Pingjiang Road is getting more and more complete. I kept digging and stopping, as if I would have a different understanding and discovery every time I went. ....

The night on Pingjiang Road exudes elegant feelings.

Kunqu Opera and Pingtan are the characteristics of Suzhou, and Wu Nong's soft words are lingering. Perhaps the most frequently heard tune of Pingtan on Pingjiang Road is the song "I have a feeling to sing to the public ...", which is an episode of the movie flowers of war. The most classic Kunqu Opera is the Peony Pavilion by Tang Xianzu, which describes the love story between Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei. The inscription reads: "I don't know what happened, but if we go deeper, the living can die and the dead can live." It has become a classic that people who are born but can't die and who die but can't be resurrected have no feelings.

Zhang Yunhe, the last beautiful woman, appropriately compared Kunqu Opera to the maple leaf in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a Kunqu Opera Museum on Pingjiang Road, and there are several Kunqu Opera Pingtan theaters at different times every day. Because I didn't understand Kunqu opera, I wanted to see it, so I waited for an hour one day and bought it at 7: 30 in the evening. Fortunately, the play is Peony Pavilion, and I can personally see the Kunqu teacher painting opera makeup on the stage. The skill of makeup is amazing, and I can see the elegance of opera makeup. That night, the words "spring and autumn in black powder" kept popping up in my mind, and I also understood the meaning of "spring and autumn in black powder".

I boast that I am a person with strong feelings of the Republic of China. In the eastern suburb of Xi, there is a Bailuyuan Film and Television City with a renmin street built in it. Renmin street's appearance is the most classic scene in the drama of the Republic of China: there is "Night Shanghai" on the tram, and a rickshaw is standing next to the octagonal foreign firm.

On Pingjiang Road, there is also a rouge shop in the Republic of China called "Modern Red Man", which was a rouge brand in old Shanghai during the Republic of China. This store not only has an old-fashioned phonograph, but also slowly plays Zhou Xuan's songs in it, and each box of rouge is painted with a month card of the Republic of China. Maybe what this shop does is a feeling.

Pingjiang Road is full of poetry. When you come, you must take a rickshaw, taste the traditional cakes in Suzhou, taste the cheese bags in the Garden Cake House, paddle and rock the boat on the river, and the boatswain will paddle for you ... After a leisure evening, watch chess and taste the peach blossoms. ...

White walls and tiles, small bridges and flowing water, I would like to walk through Pingjiang Road in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Pingjiang Road is a poem that can never be read. ...
