Brotherhood, never change.

? I am very happy these two days, because I haven't seen Ge Gedexian and Jiayu for many years come to Huaibei. At about 5: 30 pm the day before yesterday, I excitedly drove to Huaibei Normal University and waited for them in the parking lot (they arrived around 5: 00 and were visiting the campus). In a short time, I met Jiayu (graduate student, classmate, tutor, teacher Wei, Bengbu No.1 Middle School) for the first time, and that kind of long-lost intimacy came to me. Then I met Dexian (graduate student, Bengbu native, graduate student) who is now working in Hunan University of Technology. xu teacher (my university teacher, actually only a few years older than us) and xu teacher are kind and practical, and treat us as brothers. He is our big brother, a native of Huaibei. After graduation, he went directly to teach at Huaibei Normal University, and now he is studying for a doctorate at China University of Mining and Technology. After careful examination, he has basically not changed much, and he is a little thinner than before. Xu teacher has booked a room for them, and then went to the kitchen to get together for the four of us.

? At the dinner table, wine is essential. I used to drink with Dexian and Jiayu when I was a graduate student. Their capacity for alcohol was really good. Jiayu said he couldn't drink when he met this time. We also teased Jiayu and refused to pour him wine. He was unwilling and said, "You can't drink more, you can drink less." Recalling Jiayu's drinking history, I still remember it vividly: I never drank when I was a graduate student, so let's give him some slowly, then until two o'clock, and then ...; Dexian is a good drinker, and I have never seen him drunk. Of course, I was not afraid at that time. I haven't seen you for years, and my drinking capacity has plummeted. I got drunk after three rounds of drinking. Dexian is not abnormal. I know xu teacher can't drink well, but I had a good time tonight and was a little drunk. I haven't seen you for years, and my brothers are all fighting for their dreams. The once difficulties are being overcome slowly, and a better life is beckoning to us. Recall yesterday, talk about today, look forward to tomorrow, and talk about everything. From six o'clock to nearly eleven o'clock, (omit ten thousand words here) I feel how time flies. I really want time to stay here forever.

? The next morning, after dealing with things at home, I felt very anxious to take Dexian and Jiayu around Huaibei. It's very hot this morning, which is not suitable for outdoor activities. The original planned route: Longjishan-Nanshan-Nanhu-Ancient Canal Town of Sui and Tang Dynasties-Huaibei Museum-Shopping Mall in the city, and go to Donghu Wetland Park to watch the light show at night. Plans can't keep up with changes. They think Huaibei is developing really fast. It was not developed when I was in graduate school, and it was still desolate. Now there are many high-rise buildings around, and the Canal Park is picturesque, which is another business card of Huaibei. (See below for a brief introduction of the ancient canal town in Sui and Tang Dynasties)

At this time, it was about 10:50, and I drove to the Sui and Tang Grand Canal Museum in Huaibei City to show my brothers the history of Huaibei.

There are many historical sites in the museum in good order, including a large number of unearthed cultural relics, mostly ceramics, from stone tools to bronzes and ironware, and ... how wise the ancient Huaibei people were.

? Coincidentally, we were lucky enough to visit the ancient calligraphy and painting exhibition jointly organized by Huaibei Museum and jieshou city Museum, including Fuchun (High Imitation) by Huang Raiders, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and his calligraphy ... These ancestors' calligraphy and painting are amazing and valuable! 1 1:30 When the staff got off work, our morning meeting ended immediately and we drove to the flat noodle restaurant in No.3 Mine.

? The surface of No.3 Mine is full of memories. When studying, several of us eat at least once a week and must come to this house. I remember the hotel changed several places, and it didn't stop our enthusiasm. At this time, Mr. Xu Biao already felt it. "Boss, the four bowls are wide, with more peppers, dried beans, gluten, chicken feet, sheep blood, hot dishes, stewed meat and so on." And "OK" This familiar sound, the same taste, is really spicy and delicious. Drinking cold beer and cold water is really refreshing. Xu teacher and I are in Huaibei, and we have a chance to eat. Dexian and Jiayu haven't eaten once in years. These three mines eat memories, disappointments and feelings! Back to the hotel to rest, xu teacher went home to look after the children.

? In the afternoon, I rest until three o'clock. I wanted to take them to the countryside to go shopping and watch movies, but all the seats were full. The three of us "run fast", Jiayu is unlucky. We won fewer tickets, lost more, and then gave a red envelope (not received). Later, Yu Leige led his family to drive from Suzhou, which is also a long time no see (Raymond Yu, a graduate student one year earlier than us, from Fuyang, his lover is from Suzhou, and now two boys are working in Fuyang No.5 Middle School). Let's go to Baiweixuan of the special chisel company for dinner.

? It's the first time to come to this hotel, and the environment is not bad. Teacher Yu took Dabao (sister-in-law was watching Bao Xiao in the hotel and Bao Xiao was sleeping), and Jia Yu and Dexian and I ordered some delicious food casually, knowing that Teacher Yu could not drink, a bottle of beer made him drunk. But today, we made an exception and drank two bottles. It's really good to be with brother Yu. He is our eldest brother, a brave man, who combines the advantages of Fuyang people. During the period, I talked about dormitory, classmates, counselors and tutors, family business, etc. During my school days, I also called my eldest brother Duan Yanfeng (Duan Yanfeng, a graduate student one year higher than me, an honest elder brother, now working in the lankao county Commission for Discipline Inspection) and invited him to get together in Huaibei, but because of work reasons, I couldn't leave, so I specially invited us to organize a group to visit Kaifeng. How fast! Brother Yu has two babies. As the baby was still in the hotel, Teacher Yu and the child left a little earlier, leaving the three of us to continue. We all know that this is a farewell party, and we don't know when we will meet again next time. Watching Jiayu cry is not my taste. In order not to make the atmosphere sad, I try to talk and laugh, adjust the cheerful atmosphere and talk about some happy things. Now everyone has a stable job and a good salary. I only hope Dexian will get married as soon as possible and Jiayu will find a girlfriend as soon as possible. I hope that our life will get wider and wider and we will meet more and more times.

? On the third day, Raymond Yu and his family drove back to Fuyang in advance, while Jia Yu and Dexian left later. After they said goodbye to Mr. Xu Biao, we three brothers talked briefly, and then watched their car slowly leave. I left tears. I listened to the song bon voyage at home alone, and I cried silently. I wrote down all the stories together in just a few days as a souvenir! Thank you, my good brothers!

Attachment: Brief Introduction of Canal Ancient Town in Sui and Tang Dynasties

The core scenic spot project of Canal Ancient Town in Sui and Tang Dynasties is the beginning of a new stage after the completion of the "Five Phoenix and Three Pavilion" cultural exhibition center project. The core scenic spot project of the ancient town gives consideration to leisure, entertainment and business services, and the planning structure is "three axes and four points and eight pieces". Among them, the five core scenic spots that started construction have their own advantages and originality. Based on historical research, the project will scientifically, accurately and comprehensively reproduce the rich architectural and cultural features of the ancient canal town in Sui and Tang Dynasties. The landscape covers water transport and water conservancy, commercial handicrafts, religious folklore, leisure and entertainment, education and culture, social management and so on. It mainly includes six functional areas: romantic leisure area, visiting experience area, core performing area, folk inn area, passenger service area and fantasy entertainment exhibition hall.

Main attraction

Wufeng sange scenic spot

Wufengmen building complex takes the main building "Wufengmen" as the center, and connects the East and West Ear Hall and the East and West Stone Que with cloisters. On the fifth floor, the cornices become warped, like a phoenix dance for nine days, hence the name Wufengmen. "Wufengmen": Originally the hall of Xiangwang Hall in Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty, it used double eaves to replace the hall, and the main ridge and four ridges on the top of the hall were as empty as Wu Fengxiang, echoing the name of "Wufengmen".

Sanfo Pavilion complex

It is the remains of Xiangwang Temple in Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty. The three pavilions are dedicated to the past, present and future buddhas respectively, and are connected by a pavilion flying across the middle. The shape absorbs the image of the third brother in Amitabha's classic paintings in Dunhuang murals in the Tang Dynasty, with heavy eaves and columns, which is magnificent. You can enjoy the whole ancient town near the pavilion, and you can also see the beautiful scenery of Xiangshan, the new look of coal city and the vast lake, which will make you feel comfortable.

Water mirror stage

The building is located in the center of the open water surface at the intersection of the Sui and Tang Canal and Xianghe River. It is beautifully shaped and towering into the sky, forming a reflection in the water, taking water as a mirror and enjoying its reputation. The water mirror stage is a double-sided stage in the north and south, which is the main stage for gathering activities and folk opera performances in ancient towns. It faces the water surface and the south bank of the canal in the south, and the temple fair square in front of the original Xiangwang Temple in the north. The name of the water mirror stage is taken from Hanshu? Biography of Han Anguo: "Clear water is a mirror, you can't escape", which means that good and evil are obvious to all, and it embodies the educational function of China traditional opera in promoting good and punishing evil.

Caocang weir gate

It consists of three scenic spots: tugboat weir, Doumen lock and grass barn beside brick. It is a scenic spot that embodies the culture and technology of water conservancy and water transport in the Sui and Tang Dynasties Canal, and it is also the actual water level adjustment of the water system and the navigation facilities for cruise ships. The building generally adopts the architectural style of Tang Dynasty.

Doumen shiplock

China was the first country to build shiplocks. The steep gate on Lingqu, which was built in the thirty-third year of Qin Shihuang (2 14), is a recorded single-door lock, which is more than 500 years earlier than the earliest Dutch lock in the west. On the Grand Canal in Sui and Tang Dynasties, single-door shiplocks were widely used, and they were often used side by side with weirs.

Brick-board straw barn

Symbolic restoration and construction of a grain storage position (main warehouse). Located in the center of the sluice pond, it refers to Dunhuang murals and Japanese birds, and the architectural remains of Cang 'ao in Nara period (equivalent to Sui and Tang Dynasties in China). It adopts a high platform on the pedestal of elevated wood structure, an octagonal building of Tang style and a pointed tile roof.

Tugboat weir ancient tugboat weir crossing technology, the earliest weir dike was recorded in the eighth year of Wu Chiwu in the Three Kingdoms (245 years), which developed greatly in the Tang and Song Dynasties and was widely used on the Sui and Tang Grand Canal. The weir body is equipped with manpower windlass, cattle windlass and electric windlass. Visitors can experience it by themselves, or they can use the ox-powered winch and electric winch to pull the canal cruise ship over the weir and enter the internal water system to play.

Shifang tea ceremony

This is a large stone painting boat with the theme of showing tea ceremony culture. The architectural form is based on the boat painting in the boundary painting of the Tang Dynasty. As a large teahouse, it shows the tea ceremony culture originated in the Tang Dynasty. China Tea Ceremony originated in the Tang Dynasty, and many tea drinking methods, tea sets, ceremonies and tea plays appeared.

Zhakou no-go scenic spot

Located in the west street of Guzhen, it is not only the sluice to actually control the water level difference between the canal and the inland river, but also the production scene and technology of rice agricultural products processed by hydraulic machinery in Tang Dynasty, and it has become the cultural display and business place of restaurants and bars in West Street. The architectural design takes Wei Xian, a famous painter of the Five Dynasties, as the prototype, and completely restores the famous paintings of the Tang Dynasty for the first time in China. It has high value in the history of science and technology and agriculture, and is highly ornamental and participatory.

Canal Tiandi

On the facade of the ancient town of Li Nan Road, the commanding height is the Canal World in the northwest corner of the base. The appearance of the canal world podium echoes the flow of the canal. The combination of multi-layer retreat makes full use of the canal paradise landscape on the south side of the commercial space, creating a rich and varied facade effect, which is very dynamic. The overall shape is modern and exquisite, which is in obvious contrast with the ancient town landscape, embodies the concept of the integration of old and new, and provides unique urban space experience for citizens and tourists.
