Xitang ancient style, dream back to Han and Tang dynasties

Jiangnan scenery, small bridges and flowing water, bright willows, rowing boats in pairs, a cup of tea by the water, small houses with blue tiles and white walls casting sparkling reflections in the river waves, pretty Jiangnan girls riding leisurely by the river, and Wu Nong is soft and graceful. Water towns, whether Wuzhen, Nanxun or Xitang, originally had similar elegance and affection. But for a real visit, every place has its own charm and characteristics, which makes people walk through station after station and can't stop.

I came to Xitang, just in time for the annual Hanfu Festival. The streets are full of handsome men and beautiful women dressed in all kinds of ancient costumes, with long robes and wide sleeves, elegant skirts and jingling rings, which makes people seem to have returned to ancient times at once. It's that we now dressed tourists have become invisible passers-by and spectators, as if we were transparent by time. Transparency is not bad at all. You can rest assured to find a quiet tea shop by the river, order a cup of green tea and a plate of red beans. Lazy, just looking at Hanfu men and women shuttling by the river, you can spend a leisurely and long afternoon, which is actually an elegant and interesting experience.

When the Jiangnan water town meets Hanfu, it conjures up a graceful agility, which makes people smile and move from time to time. Clothes don't have to stick to the dynasty, there are elegance of Han, grace of Tang and beauty of Song; Styles include royal splendor, elegant literati, smart and beautiful little jasper, and short-breasted clothes of samurai knights. But together, it is the lively splash of water on the Qingming Riverside Map in Xitang. I love my family wearing Hanfu, passing by, with similar colors and patterns and different styles. The old man wore a gown and walked with measured steps. The child is wearing a small ball head, brocade trousers and skipping rope; There is also a gentle and graceful beautiful mother, a carefree and elegant father, who is happy and makes people happy. There are also beautiful couples' clothes, boudoir clothes, pair by pair, and the beauty of harmony is that the people in the painting walk in the water gallery.

Nowadays, Hanfu clothing is very particular, except clothing and headdress, including props and makeup. The fan in the boy's hand and the sachet around his waist; The sword under the chivalrous man's rib, the heroic spirit between the eyebrows; A girl or a group fan shakes it gently, or a fragrant handkerchief covers her lips. A few girls dressed as Tang Dynasty even held cute cats in their arms, much like the style of a rich girl in Tang Dynasty, plus a cloak and gauze dress, which really made people tempted. It suddenly began to rain in the sky, and all kinds of oil-paper umbrellas were erected in the water town, but there was no lack of leisure charm. I love this scene. In the clear and casual spring of the water town, there are ancient and smart scenery everywhere, overflowing the whole river and the whole Xitang.

Suddenly, the music on the river sounded, and a flower boat floated by. There were several pipa girls at the bow, and the melody of the guzheng in the cabin was clear. The handsome men and beautiful women on the shore suddenly formed a ceremonial dress, and a large group of people walked west along the stormy corridor by the river to the distant Moon Bridge. Everyone is talking and laughing, like a big cloud floating by, and the situation is even more trance-like, as if they really returned to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and they have been lost in the time and space here, both in dreams and in plays.

The ancient town of Tang Xi, from wuyue in the Spring and Autumn Period to today, has been known as the Millennium ancient town, inhabited. Nowadays, with these antique tastes of "painting flowers, painting indigo, attacking skirts and dancing lightly", we have achieved a great cause by "walking through the water of Qin and Han Dynasties, crossing the bridge of Tang and Song Dynasties, shuttling through the buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties and stepping on the bluestone pavement step by step". The warm wind intoxicated the tourists and took a sip of faint fragrant tea-Xitang, and you will never leave your gentle hometown of Han and Tang Dynasties.
