What are the personality characteristics of Beijingers living in hutongs written by Wang Zengqi?

The characteristics of Beijingers living in hutongs described by Wang Zengqi are exquisite, easy to satisfy, lively and contented.

First, pay attention

Pay attention and save face. It is not uncommon for people to greet each other if they have something to do. But I don't usually like to associate.

Second, it is easy to satisfy.

It is easy to meet, and the material requirements are not high. The plot of Chinese cabbage is particularly high. Some people say that the cabbage that Beijingers eat all their lives is higher than the Baita in Beihai!

Third, it's too noisy.

Very lively and nosy.

Fourth, contentment is always a pleasure.

Be content and accept it. There is a saying that is the most vivid: I can't sleep!

Brief introduction of Wang Zengqi's Hutong culture

Wang Zengqi (1920~ 1998), a native of Gaoyou, Jiangsu, is a writer. 1939 was admitted to China Literature Department of Southwest Vocational College. Since then, I have worked as a teacher and editor.

His extraordinary life experience made him have a profound and unique insight into society and life. What is particularly impressive is Mr. Wang's familiarity with ordinary houses. After his description, the distinctive life in the soil and water is like a three-dimensional oil painting, which is unforgettable for readers. Known as the "master of short stories", his representative works include the novels "Taking the Ring" and "Notes on Making a scene".

Mr. Wang's Hutong Culture is the preface, and the original text has the subtitle "Hutong Culture, Photography Art Collection." This is an ingenious essay, which fully shows the author's personality and style.

The author naturally integrates this ordinary hutong, the classification from its source to its name, and the unique hutong culture in countless hutongs, which gives us a vivid and profound understanding of Beijing Hutong culture and the cultural mentality of Beijingers who have lived here for generations, and also reveals the author's nostalgia and sadness for Hutong culture.
