In the past, I don’t know when, when passing my house, the Chay River was split in two. The other half is straight, meek and smooth, creating an alluvial side, this side is curved, curvaceous, hooked to the mainland, forming a landslide. In the middle of the murky stream is Bai Giua, serenely rocky, serenely sandy, at that time, it was paradise, the residence of many storks, dadas, and shrimps. The beginning of the beach is rapids. The rock outstretched its chest to protect the gentle waist, carrying on its back trees, sands, crabs and mussels. From time to time, every time the hydroelectric power plant closes all three machines for repair, the river will dry up, only close to the protrusions, slippery mosses and boulders covered with shells and shells. mussels. At that time, we, the buffalo children, the butterfly children, the mothers, the sisters, the young teachers, the boarding students of the high school, often used to rush to call each other when the water was dry. pounce on. Daughters are baskets, pot people, eager to trick shrimp, catch crabs, scratch mussels. The son ignores the squealing, clattering, flapping wings of his parents, searching for eggs. Nature is so clever for the animals to camouflage and protect themselves. Bird eggs are the color of reed, while shrimp and crabs live in the waterholes, each child wears the same color of the rock. But it’s nothing! Just by looking deeply into the hollows of trees, bushes, crouching, looking closely at the clear water, you can see through the nests of eggs, the vibrating beards, the mechanical claws. Eggs are in the pocket. Shrimp then put the mouth of the basket into the flooded rock cavity, spread their hands in the shape of a bow, and slowly closed. The fan-shaped tails appeared, receded, receded, and then “Smashed” the whole shrimp body to snap into the mouth of the basket. One lift! In the basket, there are some three or four squishy shrimp! Catching crabs is not difficult, just gently put the small stones lying on top of each other in the heart of the pool to the side, waiting for the sand to settle down to see the bulging eyes. Trick your fingers into the two shells, grab them, and then raise all eight legs and two claws out of the water. Those shrimp and crabs put them in pots, break a few branches and leaves to cover them so that they don’t jump out, at night they will be red on the frugal tray of rice in each house, floating on the bowl of sweet jute vegetable soup, or soon after, it will be yellow, bare, and fall off on the coals of fire, in the bamboo tongs, blackening our young lips. Those eggs, put in a fresh bamboo tube with one end, add a little river water, set up next to the fire. Xo Xo… that’s it! The food of young buffaloes is often delicious and makes people remember for a long time! The sand spreads, hugs the body of the beach, stretches to the back and sinks under the pool. That place, I don’t know if it’s a bomb crater, but even though it has been deposited for a long time, even though the river has dried up, it is still deep and green. My children, being reminded by their mothers, watch out for anyone who dares to come close! Under those sand dunes, we caught mussels. The mussel catcher is a basket and a pot. Children carry small pots, big ones carry big pots. I, although tiny, always carry a large Soviet pot with me (once, when the factory flushed, because I was trying to keep the pot from drifting, I was almost swept into the hole) . Lazy mussels refuse to enter the cave to live, they live right under the sand. Well, old mussels, cavalier mussels, grandmother mussels, grandson mussels, and mussels are all equally lazy, so, just after a swipe of a hand in the sand, a series of belly-swallows will be exposed. If you like, pick up the water and pick it up, so you will get many big mussels! If you don’t like it, treat it, treat it, both big and small! Treating mussels is also simple: grab a basket of sand, bring it to a deep water, swirl it, shake it a few times, the sand will pass through the basket, leaving only the mussels, and put them in the pot. Done! Because it’s so easy to catch, all of us are greedy and like it. But if you like it, you’ll love it, if you like it, you’ll catch it, too much, too heavy, who can bring it back! But if you bring it back, then get someone to sell it, and when you sell it, no one will buy it! Therefore, there are times when we catch and release, release and catch again tomorrow, as a hobby of poor children. Saying not many people buy it is because every house can have a kid to catch! But if you have to buy it (although it’s very cheap, now it’s only from 8 to 10 thousand VND per kilogram, but the price in the past I don’t remember), then buying mussels back must be treated, cooked, smart, but not smart. It’s time to pick up and pick up, hunchback to get a bowl of soup, a bowl of porridge, then eat another dish quickly, to have time to rest, and still work tomorrow! Talking about making mussels, cooking mussels! The house is right next to the beach, and the big sisters often follow me, so whenever the water dries up, I go to catch mussels. Parents are busy, they can do it themselves! Under the guidance of my mother, after a few times of bewildered, while treating and pouring a few pots of mussels, my sisters and I became masters of mussel processing, indeed! Hey, baby mussels are thin-mouthed, easy to break, and easily scratched, so every time you go to catch them, you need to bring a big basket to treat big mussels. Once you’re done, you should wash the mussels right in the river so you don’t have to go home to draw water. Rub it hard, like washing peanuts. Thoroughly rub many times to make the mussel shells clean and shiny, then the pot of boiling water will be clear and fresh! Wash mussels, put in a large pot, pour water like cooking rice (as high as a knuckle), bring to a boil. When the pot of mussels starts to foam, put in a pinch of granulated salt, use chopsticks to stir vigorously and quickly with high heat. When mussels are hot, open their mouth, meet salt, add high heat, stir vigorously, meat will shrink, leave the shell and fall to the bottom of the pot. If you forget to slow down at this moment, you will have to sit down and pick up each mussel, your back will be tired! The splintering only takes a few minutes. Lower the pot, put a small strainer on the mouth of another pot, pour in the mussels. Water will trickle down. Decant this water to get really clear water, if you cook porridge, put it in a pressure cooker, drop the cleaned rice (remember to add a pinch of sticky rice to make it fragrant), boil until smoldering and then let it smolder for fifteen minutes, then turn off the heat. If cooking soup, just boil some tomatoes, pour in mussels, wait for it to boil, add the prepared mussels (only for the mussels at this moment, if you add them from the beginning, the soup will be elegant), add onions smell, eat hot is done. The mussels are rubbed, squeezed hard to remove all the meat from the shell, and then don’t like a gravel. The mussel meat is lighter than the shell, floats, collects in a corner, picks it up, and puts it in a small bowl. Rub the mussel meat to break the intestines with a sieve, wash, squeeze out the water, fry the onions, add the mussel intestines, season with a little fish sauce, pepper, and a little herbs, flip the edges, that’s the mussel filling. Wait for the pressure in the pot to run out, drop in the mussels and herbs (fresh onions, Chinese herbs, finely chopped coriander) in, season with some spices, scoop into the bowl, add a few slices of bamboo shoots and chili, sprinkle hot pepper on top. .. I once told someone I love about mussel porridge. I once taught him to cook mussel porridge. There was also a time when I sent a picture of a bowl of cooked mussel porridge to my very dear uncle. Every time, the aftertaste of mussel porridge remains on the lips and in the eyes. Away from my hometown, I no longer go catching mussels like the old days. Every time I come back, I can’t help but look at Bai Giua, seeing that Bai Giua is only a small area after the flood discharge, the trees are blooming, I see that the old sand has been exploited almost by people, and I look at the river trying to make up for it. Can’t hold back the tears…

Legend has it that the profession of making rice paper in Luong, Do Luong, Nghe An provinces has been passed down through generations in the village. Up to now, the age of the craft village is more than 300 years. Previously, Vinh Duc craft village was located in Lien Son commune, until 1989, Lien Son commune merged with Do Luong town. In 2005, the People’s Committee of Nghe An province recognized this place as Vinh Duc rice paper production village. The oldest person making rice paper here also does not know when the origin of this craft village was. They only remember that they were handed down by their grandparents and parents how to make the best rice paper. To make a delicious rice cake must go through many stages. The feat from selecting raw materials to processing and manufacturing. Raw materials usually use rice with little plasticity, commonly used rice is Khang Dan 18, plain rice to coat cakes. After soaking the rice for one night, the rice is cleaned and the grit is then ground into a powder, mixed with black sesame. To increase the delicious taste, people add pepper, crushed garlic, mixed with rice flour. This is also the secret to making the unique taste of Do Luong rice paper. The flour mixture, after being mixed well, will be coated with a thin layer on a griddle made of cloth, on a pot of boiling water. When the rice paper is cooked, it is gently spread on the cork grid to cool before drying. When drying the cake, about every 2 hours, the cake will be turned over once to dry evenly.

Illustration. I don’t know since when did the Phu Tho people think of a way to pickle the tops of cassava vegetables to process into dishes. Perhaps stemming from years of hunger and deprivation in wartime, the Phu Tho people had to use cassava tops to supplement their meals. And today, cassava vegetables have become familiar dishes in daily life, becoming famous specialties of the people of Phu Tho. Vegetable cassava is not a delicious food, even more not colorful, respecting the form, but it requires the processor to be very picky. From the stage of choosing cassava vegetables was not simple, not all cassava can be picked edible leaves, cassava vegetables used for salting as well as for eating must be glutinous cassava vegetables (also known as tapioca), have green leaves, tubers are used to boil food. As for the dwarf Chinese cassava, also known as bamboo-leaf cassava – because its leaves are small and long like bamboo leaves, purple in color should be limited, because this type has a lot of plastic, if not processed well, it is easy to get drunk. A special point is that cassava vegetables for eating are only picked at the fence, or in the bushes of cassava in the garden to wait for the planting season, because the tops of cassava here are picked more often, so they are younger and softer. People never pick cassava vegetables from crops grown on the field, in the fields to get tubers – because then the cassava plant will have less tubers and the tubers will give less starch. Sour cassava vegetable soup For standard taste, you must choose young, big and stout cassava buds that still have the fine powder at the top of the buds. After picking, it must be preliminarily processed through cassava vegetables, keeping about 2 or 3 petioles from the top down. After picking vegetables, wash them and rub them thoroughly to remove all the plastic. Crunching cassava leaves is an important step to bring out the flavor of the dish, the person must skillfully make the cassava leaves soft, the waves are whole, not broken into pieces. After rinsing, wash the vegetables several times with water until the water is no longer cloudy, that is, the vegetable has no plastic. After grinding, the cassava leaves are mixed with a little salt to make the taste more intense. Doing so also helps to make cassava vegetables sour faster and can be left for a long time without being damaged or scum. Therefore, when adding salt, you also have to choose so that the vegetables are not too salty, nor too light to easily spoil the vegetables. After being mixed with salt, the cassava vegetables are put in a jar or jar and left for 4 to 5 days to silage. It takes about 5 to 7 days to bring cassava vegetables to cook soup. Tapioca can be eaten without rice or processed with other ingredients such as fish, pork leg, meat, or peanuts. Just take out the cassava vegetables, squeeze out the water, and then put it in the pot with the fish, season with a little seasoning, put the water and then simmer it. Cassava vegetable soup stewed as delicious as possible. Because then the fatty, delicious, and sweet taste of pork leg and fish will be absorbed into the cassava vegetables; while the sour taste from cassava vegetables penetrates deeply into the fish, eliminating the fishy smell of the fish, making the piece of fish smell of melon and delicious. The little secret when cooking cassava vegetable soup is not to season it from the beginning, because it is easy to get salty, because the cassava vegetables have been salted relatively recently, so when cooked and then seasoned, it will be more standard. Cook melon with peanuts or pork leg, or stir-fry with garlic, with meat… any processing method creates special delicious dishes. The cassava melon is still delicious, a bit stale, intense and full of sour taste, combined with the same ingredients, making the dish attractive and unforgettable. Although cassava vegetables do not look beautiful on the outside, but they are very delicious, everyone who has tried them is passionate and hard to forget this typical dish. Cassava vegetables are also a catalyst for the nostalgia of the children of Phu Tho away from home, the most simple and loving things of this land. Those who have been attached, it can be a reminiscent and evocative scent, it is a beautiful old memory, highlighting the culinary culture of the people of Phu Tho homeland. For each Phu Tho resident, cassava vegetables are not only a dish, a specialty but also a symbol of their homeland. For generations, cassava vegetables have become a familiar dish on the rice tray of people in the midland area of ​​Phu Tho. No matter where they go, how far away from their homeland, the children of the Ancestral land will always remember the simple bowl of sour soup with vegetables and cassava. Many people have the opportunity to enjoy, have enjoyed and praised the vegetable soup as the number 1 specialty of Phu Tho. If you have the opportunity to visit the land of Hung Kings, do not forget to enjoy this interesting Phu Tho cuisine and buy it as a gift for relatives and friends to enjoy. The land of Phu Tho is loving, the people of Phu Tho are hospitable, “specialty of sour cassava vegetables” is an idyllic gift with the rustic soul of the Ancestral people for tourists from all over the world every visit.

Women of any age should build themselves a beautiful dress style. For ladies in their 40s, here are the dressing mistakes that you should avoid: Wearing a monotonous dark set Many U40 girls often like to wear dark clothes because they think they are age-appropriate and help their body look more elegant. But that does not mean that women always wear a dark set of clothes without any accents. This mistake is very common among ladies. This choice is completely unreasonable. Women’s fashion style will be somewhat monotonous and boring, lacking in vitality. Instead, girls, please mix items with neutral colors with bright outfits that will be extremely harmonious. A set of dark clothes easily makes the girls look old and lifeless. Wear loose clothes but don’t emphasize the waist Having made this mistake, women who wear all the trending clothes and dresses can’t be beautiful. Their bodies will look straight and unattractive in the eyes of those around them. The ladies just need to change a little and the appearance is so much different. You can choose skirts, skirts and skirts to make your body proportions more balanced and slim. Not creating accents at the waist is a dress error that U40 women should stay away from. Dressing too colorfully No one is forcing U40 girls not to wear bright colors. But wearing too colorful clothes is sometimes counterproductive, making women’s appearance easy to be judged as “saw horns”. Besides, not everyone is good at mixing colorful clothes. So, to avoid becoming a fashion “catastrophe”, ladies should not wear too colorful items. Wearing inappropriate colorful clothes will lose the elegant image of the ladies. Choose costumes that are too sophisticated and flamboyant At the age of 40, costumes that are too sophisticated and flamboyant are no longer suitable for women’s temperament. When wearing them, the girls can also be “denounced” the disadvantages of their physique. No matter how trendy, ladies should still prioritize simple dresses with gentle accents, which is more reasonable. Just remembering this secret, you will maintain a beautiful style in any situation. Dresses that are too picky and fancy are not a reasonable choice for girls. Abuse of accessories Accessories are always an indispensable thing to help U40 ladies raise their fashion style. But if you want to always have an elegant and elegant style, you need to know how to be restrained in the use of accessories. It is not necessary to wear all kinds of rings, rings, necklaces, earrings on the same set of clothes to be eye-catching. It is even possible that they are criticized for being cheesy and petty! It’s not just using a lot of accessories that your style will be enhanced.

“Oh, really delicious”, Mr. T said, “this one of it is this. Selling price?”. “Very cheap. Not tens of thousands of a bag. This boy also came up from rice paper. Now it has been sold to several provinces. I take you to visit the factory later. See if there is any way for him to export or not.” Mr. D goes straight to the point. This trip was organized by him. The only purpose is just to ask Mr. T to find directions for some local businessmen. I still look out of the car window. And remember my maternal hometown, also a locality in the Central region. Memories of my childhood are rushing back because of the green steps on the road passing through the small window. That day, every summer afternoon, at 3-4pm, an old lady comes in (alley, alley – as called in the Central region) her grandmother sells rice paper. Children dirty from playing soccer and shooting marbles gathered around her selling rice paper. Someone who has money then cheats on his pants and takes out an odd note that is wrapped very carefully. Those who do not have money stand waiting, waiting for him to break a piece of it. And my most impressive point of the foreign country rice paper is the bright red area located in the center of the cake. It is chili sauce. Each piece of cake sold, before handing over, was scooped up a little chili sauce by the old lady with a beautiful little spoon and sprinkled it in the middle. Sun cake, I used to think. It was like a crimson sun, with an open halo of gold. And the kids kept breaking each “piece of sun” and dot the little sun. They are so talented. After three years of age, he can already eat chili. I absolutely do not dare to touch that sun, although my grandmother’s rice and soup is always spicy, as if I train me to get used to it. The way of eating banh mi in the countryside is indeed unique. It is different from the way to eat banh mi in Hanoi, where I grew up. A small street corner, group a beautiful red charcoal oven, and then whoever comes to buy them, they fan the charcoal to bake. Childhood rice cake in Hanoi is purely vegetarian, is it not dipped with spices (or because I did not eat spices that day so I can’t remember)? And the piece of cake baked on charcoal it often has “bubbles” scattered on the cake. In that “explosive bubble” is the air. The little ones often like to play with that explosive foam before eating it. True discovery is an extremely curiosity. It’s just a bubble that explodes, just squeezed it yesterday, and knowing there’s nothing inside, still stimulates the next day to continue exploring in the hope that it will be different. Oh, if only I grew up, people loved each other that way, just discovering each other every day without being bored, the world would never have separated and depressed love songs. Later, growing up and traveling a lot, I began to understand that normal rice cake was just like that, but it turned out to be in many “magnificent” delicacies of Vietnamese cuisine. What are the mussel rice cakes, the sautéed sautéed with chili peppers, the broken rice bread in a bowl of Quang noodles, the rice cake with the classic sautéed shrimp in the West … If you have to vote for a snack best in the world, I do not hesitate to nominate Vietnamese banh mi. Hey, what if we go to a pub in the West and instead of eating their “snacks”, how about we use tabasco dumplings? “Hey, Mr. D, does he make some kind of uncooked rice paper for customers to microwave themselves. I tell the truth, this cake is delicious. I can recommend to Europe, I have some clues over there. But if you pay the cake (container), it will occupy the first area and easily break the cake, lose the aesthetics is Monday “, Mr. T said. Mr. D affirmed “It is not. Because baking in the microwave it will not be as beautiful as this industrial cake, and the cake will not be as flat as this. But I will say it try.” Saying to do, he picked up the phone and called the owner of the production facility, his voice loud and loud. The wheelchair moved onto a newly renovated inter-village asphalt road, then turned into a spacious, spacious house, crowded with people in and out. “Here, its workshop. The owner is on his way from his house”, Mr. D introduced. Soon, a new seven-seat Peugeot slowly entered the courtyard. From the car, the owner of the workshop, a big, strong, black body must be cheerfully down. His hand carried a … microwave oven. “Uncle D just arrived. Just stay at the factory. Because you said the microwave oven, I ran too blood to try it. It’s delicious. You can do it all,” said the owner of the workshop. Then turned to us cheerfully: “Hello, you two. Please come in and play, I can try it immediately”. Say and do. The owner of the workshop led us into the living room, looking for an electrical outlet to place the microwave in the middle of the table while the staff was making tea. Then his hand quickly opened the bag, took the cake, turned on the oven, baked. It is really beautiful. The cake is still flat, the yellow color is still, only different from the industrial baked goods in one point is that the rim is slightly burnt brown. But I like that burnt brown color. It gives the feeling of a slice of cake that is baked with charcoal. Then the story revolves around production capacity, around the current distribution market, around the factory owner tinkering with how to make a rice cake dryer to avoid depending on the sun, rain and weather of drying methods. traditional cake. The talk lasted until they all got in the car, looking for a small riverside restaurant nearby for lunch. Also at the same lunch table, the story reached the “finale” of the intention to export the cake. “Now you can work directly with Mr. T. He promised to do it. He will help you export this cake to Europe”, Mr. D said, “if I have anything else to add, please report this S guy, It is the number one assistant, I do many things for me “. The factory owner’s eyes were filled with hope when he heard Mr. D say that sentence. And Mr. T was also open-minded, when he said that the factory owner should send samples directly to the city to quote prices. HCM for your office. The factory owner was happy to face. His face shone with pride mixed with a belief in something that could change his career. “Geez, that’s fine. If you help me, you can help the people in my commune too. They work for me if I can sell, they also add income. It’s also very tiring, bro. Please give me your address and office phone number “. Mr. T immediately read the address but after half a sentence, I saw him leaning under the table, as if he had dropped something to search. Coming back, he read the address again. But also with three words, he bent under the table again. For the third time, I found he seemed annoyed. Then he said quickly to the owner of the workshop, “Give me your phone number. I’ll text you later. Now have a drink.” On the taxi ride home from Tan Son Nhat, I kept silent, not daring to say anything. But the more silent I became uncomfortable. Remembering the boss’s overly enthusiastic, humble figure, I feel bad. And unable to bear that torment, I quietly asked “Will you help them?”. Being told as if opening his heart, Mr. T opened the phone and showed me the message. Then he said, the other three footsteps belonged to S. It was S himself who told Mr. T after that, when the group got back to the hotel, the idea was “let me worry, she wants you to help export, I have to ask for it. Color for you. There is no “how to”. “You are so mad Minh. You said that I helped people out of work and asked for money. Besides, I am not rich yet, but I want to do big things to do something about this three hundred million. Look at people being hot.” In this situation, I believe you can help people, they do not pay money for me Besides, even if you help me for free, I also help them. They are farmers like my parents. “Mr. T said. No wonder, I texted the owner of the factory the great news “Here is the address. You can contact me directly. I will help you with no penny. You rest assured. But S it says whatever you do, please don’t mind.” “. Turns out, Mr. T is much more awake than I thought. No wonder, on the way back, he definitely didn’t touch a piece of rice cake. Despite S bravely carried two barrels alone from the Central into the city. “If Mr. S brings the sample, I will say it was sent in outside the workshop. Let him understand”, said Mr. T while smiling, “It’s strange, you only like to eat people”. Rich – poor it has numbers. I can help anyone, just help me, right? What is shared with each other is extremely important. Like a piece of cake still shared childhood, there is no regret. People are better than each other in that “generous”, but where are “cunning” than each other in the “cunning” thing …

The market for people is not good because there are few buyers. At 10 am May 1, customers parked in front of the stalls selling beef of Ms. Dung (small trader at Dai Tu market, Hoang Mai, Hanoi) was surprised that there is still a lot of meat not sold out today, while every day only 8 In the morning, my betrayed meat had nothing to buy. Ms. Dung said that although she actively imported less meat than usual, she did not expect that the market was so empty today, so it was not sold out. “Yesterday, there were many customers, but today is boring, the amount of meat sold today is not equal to weekends, Saturdays and Sundays. Everyone’s home, people come back to the hometown, all have been traveling ”, said Ms. Dung. Not only beef stalls, many stalls selling pork and chicken are also in the same scene, the meat table is still full of goods, but very few people ask to buy. According to the survey, the prices of goods at the local market are still sold by small traders at the same price as usual, even because of stock prices, many people reduce prices quickly. For example, bacon only costs 150,000-170,000 / kg, depending on type; ribs from 140,000 to 180,000 VND / kg; Beef tenderloin costs 250,000 VND / kg, beef corn 270,000 – 300,000 VND / kg … The lack of customers is not only at popular markets, but also in regular supermarkets that are crowded today. Supermarket with less customers than normal day For example, at the T-Mart Dai Tu supermarket (Hoang Mai), there were staggering customers to buy. According to the salesman, yesterday the supermarket was crowded because they came to buy fruit and food to return home for the holidays. However, from this morning until noon, the supermarket is quite thin, even quieter than usual. At Vinmart Linh Dam supermarket, right at the entrance there is always a sign that requires customers to wear a mask when entering the supermarket to prevent epidemics. If anyone forgets to wear a mask, they will be reminded and asked to buy a mask immediately before they can purchase. Here, the goods are quite plentiful, many discounted fruits such as Australian green grapes and black grapes are priced at just under 100,000 VND / kg; Imported apples are only priced from 49,900 VND to 87,900 VND / kg … However, customers coming to buy goods are also absent, the shelves of vegetables, meat, and fruits … even though it is noon, are still full of goods. Below are some pictures at supermarkets and local markets this morning of May 1 recorded by PV Infonet: Although it was late afternoon, the stalls of beef, pork, and chicken were still full. Small traders in the area selling shrimp and fish at Dai Tu market do not wear a mask when selling. At T-Mart Dai Tu supermarket, customers come to buy goods sparsely. At the entrance to the supermarket Vinmart Linh Dam (Hoang Mai – Hanoi), there is always a sign that requires a mask to be worn in order to enter the supermarket to buy goods to prevent epidemics. All visitors to the supermarket wear masks. Meat stalls at supermarkets are also in the scene “meat waiting for customers to buy”. Until noon, the shelves of vegetables and fruits … are still full even though the supermarket has many discount programs. The cashier is leisurely because few customers pay.

Photo: Internet Sometimes in my life, I want to forget the tiredness so that the towels can be returned to the peaceful little hamlets, I want to forget about the wide streets to settle myself with the peace of the old season. We went back to the small riverside hamlet, the monkey bridge lying on the river was gone, the water wharf, the boat had left with fragments of time. Sitting and watching the water dissipate, we seem to vanish with a rustling monsoon. The rows of old eucalypts have been waiting for many times to change leaves, how many times to change the land, to move the rain and sun, and the little village keeps it for us with so many overlapping mess. The day we left the hometown, passed the small bamboo bridge in front of the house, waking up with open horizons, sending our hearts back by the waterfront along the river, sending my first love back in a bitter look. I flow into the city with short, evenly long days. To one day find ourselves in abundance in the street, we dream about the simple lifestyle of our homeland. Wake me up every morning with the sound of chickens crowing, with a bright ray of sunlight that pierces the canopy of leaves, and sweet sales of goods in the morning. We walked out into the garden, took a deep breath of the fresh village air, and heard the flowers and leaves whisper blooming. Feel every beat of time, ignoring the old old dogma. Hold your hand to catch the clear morning sun – a peaceful flower blooms under your hand … I wander the familiar village path, where a coconut shadow always appears to lean on. Sitting under the shade of the hometown coconuts, from someone’s home warm, passionate lullabies, these songs follow me throughout my life. The figure of a woman who is industrious, enduring pain and suffering in the countryside is never mixed in up and down road dust. The proud voice of the country pours into the day of diligence so that we love the voice of the motherland forever. We went back and weeped in the night with doubts going through each other. The sound of frogs looking for each other, the clattering of insects, the sound of parents sitting back and forth in the cramped, quiet dinner pot. I used to be excited about the street, tired of the poor days in the countryside. Walk long distances on the feet of youth, across high hills. Let one day see sadness plunge, hesitate to pass each other as a part of life. The countryside brightly lit, we illuminate ourselves in the pond water. Each trace of time chasing after days, the nostalgia of flapping its wings in the iron, remember looking forward to. If you go far, you can be homesick, and you can see simple but heartbreaking images. Now back to look at the homeland, there are things that have forever remained in memory that cannot be changed. Small bamboo bridges, thatched roofs, rows of rows, the noises of noon gradually retreated into the past. I forever embrace the troubled youth, the alum is still sticking to the heels every day, so that every step we take is heavy carrying a domain … In the afternoon, sit back with the innocent river, the old images are blurred into our hearts with long, smoking streaks. On the country river wharf, a boat just let go of the anchor … /.

Season Passing Alley Photo: provided by artist Nguyen Van Tung Memories, dreams back home, are the most beautiful time left in people’s hearts when they have to go away. And vice versa, it is very happy for those who miss their native homeland, miss the fields, the houses behind the village … Those are the anxieties, the anxious to remember, the beautiful memories of childhood pouring back into the hearts of people far away from the countryside. When viewing painter Nguyen Van Tung’s paintings, these feelings are fulfilled, evoking the blues far away from home in the blue of his paintings. Arousing very pleasant sad sorrows in the hearts of those who are far away from the countryside, comforted by memories of the past. Each of Tung’s landscape works, whether in one way or another, the artist sent his thoughts and feelings about memories, fond memories, of a life or a place. place that used to live or passed through. The works such as Early Winter, Night of the Moon, Early Dew, Moonlight … have made it clear for me. Artists are skillful when they often lay out one or two very small and isolated houses on the canvas, not to mention that in a few pictures we feel very lonely, cold desolate houses, in the fields. In the winter, far away, beside the spindly trees in the deciduous season, or by the cold dark river. Make viewers feel deeply sorry for the figures of the homeland, where the fields and fields of sweet potatoes have passed the harvest, the bare land is sad in the midst of the immense windy season. Seeing pictures sometimes we can feel the cold wetness under our feet every time we walk in the straw fields when it is still morning mist. Somewhere there are lonely trees around the house as comforting, like relying on each other to live, to go through with time, so that we see somewhere far away are old mothers by the fire. , with the image of a pillar of blue smoke in the scent of burnt dry straw is very characteristic for those who have grown up from the countryside. In some pictures we feel the moment of changing season of the second, when spring sky is a little warm yellow appearing in the painting, a few red buds are emphasized, making that winter sadness. as if cleared away, for the hopes, the warmth that was given the opportunity to appear in that cold blue color. Moonlight In another area, the 8x painter described Hanoi’s street corners from a different perspective. Speaking of streets in Hanoi, many artists drew, but Hanoi Street in Nguyen Van Tung’s paintings looked in a different way. A Hanoi that is elegant and very gentle, more serene, like remembering a distant Trang An period. The yellow walls in the afternoon sun were in the shadow of the remaining shadow, by the side of the road, the old stools of the water restaurant, far away were pigeons leisurely on the gable, or wandering somewhere there in the windows. In the other corner are spindly almond trees and a few red buds of young leaves in the sky, far above are closed windows with typical blue paints of a time. Streets in this artist’s paintings are easy to make a stir for those who have lived more or less with Hanoi, remember the toad shops, remember the silhouette of typical old electric poles for a while. Makes Hanoi in Nguyen Van Tung’s paintings more reminiscent of the memories of traveling through the streets and alleys, miss the shop, miss the advert, miss the flower stalls in the street … Light Sun Perhaps the two colors most used by the artist are earth yellow and gray green in paintings, especially pictures with cold colors that are easy to impress and remember a lot, because expatriates always have in them. I have a nostalgia for my home and my homeland whenever I have a chance. When I see Tung’s paintings, I feel comforted and warm to satisfy a little nostalgia for my homeland. River House, is probably the topic that this artist born in 1984 is the most exploited and most impressive so far. Because when writing a pen, he opened his heart to drift through time, space and the best and most impressive memories to put it on the painting, so that the viewer had something to recuperate. miss the straw, or imprint a street corner in the heart of expatriates.

But with those who have been in contact, they praise me for having a beautiful soul, I live naturally, without any frills. The way I choose music is the same, neither with shortcuts nor the illusion of my strength. I know where I am, where I am. I also do not have the strength as you do market music to follow it because it is not suitable for me. 1991 beauty expressed.

When asked about the title of Miss and Singer, Tuyet Nga did not hesitate to assert herself that coming to the beauty contest was an experience, a walk of youth: “It’s also difficult to be a beauty queen, to be a singer. Miss is a beauty walk, I never thought of becoming a beauty queen before. When I got the title, I was surprised and lived responsibly with the title. Want to use a title to do volunteer work, spread love between people and people. With great love for music and well-trained vocal training, I chose music as a long-term path ”.

Teacher Anh Tho and student Tuyet Nga

Besides, the female singer also thanked her seniors and teachers, singer Anh Tho. In the song “Pride of Thanh”, Anh Tho sang a duet with a female artist for the first time, according to Tuyet Nga, a special favor for her.

“She said that something easy to come is easy to pass, the hard way to go, dare to conquer it will be a sustainable way. At first, I just thought that it would be easy for me to sing, but the more I go to study, the more difficult it becomes, I graduate and still feel ignorant. The more I study, the more I can think about my shortcomings In this MV, both girls had to record 3 or 4 times. The first time Miss Anh Tho sang a duet with a female voice, it was affection at the level of intimacy. Your voice is strong, you have to restrain to push my voice up. ”, Tuyet Nga shared about her teacher.

Singer Anh Tho shared at the press conference

Anh Tho at the press conference could not hide his joy, mixed pride in his student: “Russia is very beautiful and intelligent, in the early days Russian voice was weak, but she always tried everything. Nga is very busy but has the will to strive, whenever there is time, come to the house of two girls to practice. “

Besides, Hoang Hong Ngoc (Champion of Sao Mai), the author of the song “Pride of Thanh”, adds that because she has a predestined relationship with the Thanh land and is a classmate of the music school with Tuyet Nga, she wrote pen. special lyrics from Thanh to you. Both often talk about Buddhism and life, so they are older than their age. Champion Sao Mai hopes she will be able to compose songs for all the love in all parts of the country.

The impressive point of the MV for homeland gratitude is the recklessness of combining rap lyrics on folk music material in the melody part of the song.

“Actually the song was written for over a year, when Ngoc and I added the Rap part to the song was just a coincidence. Include the rap in the song to make the song more accessible to the younger generation. Using rap in a folk material song is also creative for a song to escape the “local song” label. In addition, rapping helps the song to be fresh, youthful, a renewed view of the home country of youth. ”, Tuyet Nga explained.

The MV “Pride of Thanh” has a folk tone, a bold image of Thanh as a charm in the smile of the old lady selling pipe tobacco, singing Ma song, and fishing in the sea. With the sweet voice of Tuyet Nga mixed with the loving and delicate Anh Tho, a musical product surpasses the “local song”.

During the press conference to launch the MV Proud of Thanh (one of three MVs Jade light from Thanh – Reporter) Tuyet Nga said emotionally: “I make this product to pay tribute to my homeland, every step I take is associated with my origin, my homeland, my family. Because if there was no homeland, there would be no Russian Snow today. Making something or a music product. I want to do it with the spirit of civilization and come from my music-loving heart. ”

Despite possessing a beautiful appearance, Tuyet Nga did not choose to follow the market music to quickly become famous. “Many people who have not come into contact with me when looking at my lifestyle, dynamism and appearance often think that I am very European, very difficult to get along with. But for those who have contacted me, I give praise because I live naturally. , no colorful style. The way I choose music is the same, not taking shortcuts nor delusions about my strength. I know where I am, what position “, the beautiful 1991 expressed.

Besides, the female singer also thanked her teacher – singer Anh Tho. In the song Proud of Thanh, Anh Tho and his students performed works praising his homeland Thanh. According to Tuyet Nga shared, Anh Tho rarely does a duet with the same female artist, having such a combination is a special favor that Anh Tho gives her.

“She said that something easy to come is easy to pass, the hard road, dare to conquer it will be a sustainable path. The more I learn, the more I realize my shortcomings. This MV, both girls and students had to record 3-4 times. The first time Ms. Anh Tho sang a duet with a female voice, it was a affection at the level of intimacy. Her grandmother’s voice had to moderate to push my voice up. ” Nga shares about her teacher

Singer Anh Tho expressed pride in her student.

Anh Tho at the press conference could not hide his joy, mixed pride in his student: “Nga is very beautiful and intelligent. In the early days, Russian voice was weak, but she always tried everything. Nga Nga.” very busy but has the will to strive, whenever there is time, come back to the house of two girls to practice “.

The impressive point of the MV for homeland gratitude is the recklessness of combining rap lyrics on folk music material in the melody part of the song. “Actually, the song was written for over a year, when Ngoc and I added the rap part to the song was just a coincidence. Putting the rap into the song to make the song more accessible to the younger generation. Using rap in a folk-material song is also the creation for a song to get rid of the “local song” label. Moreover, rap helps the song to be fresh, youthful, a renewed view of the homeland of youth “, Tuyet Nga explained.

An impressive height of 1.70 m and a beautiful face, charming body helped Tuyet Nga crown Miss Vietnam Ao Dai in 2019. Before that, the beauty born in 1991 had impressed at the playground “Star Mai 2017 ”when entering the Top 10 folk music lines. She used to major in Auditorium at the Vietnam National Academy of Music.

The flowers bloom in March and fall in April with drizzle. The spring in the south of the Yangtze River is fleeting, and disappears in a flash. Without the pink and white whitewashing, the spring in the water village is less charming. For Jiangnan people, it is not enough to regret. Just because “Yangzhou will go down in March in Yangchun, and Qintong will arrive in April in the world.” In April, Fangfei disappeared, and when the world was in mid-spring, the people of Taizhou Water Town had a heavy “feast on the water” interpretation at that time. Pursuing the traces of the elk in Jiangyan, dreaming of Qinhu, exploring the ancient folk boating activities, encountering the ancient town of Qintong for a thousand years, and embarking on a fascinating spring journey.

Throughout the ages, thousands of volumes of poems and songs have praised Jiangnan. When it comes to the beauty of Jiangnan, people say that the beauty lies in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but they often forget the diverse scenery of Yangtai. If the food of Yangzhou holds your stomach, then the beauty of Taizhou can grab your heart. Auspicious Taizhou, the most beautiful Jiangyan.

Jiangyan is a “water city” born from water, thriving because of water, and beautiful because of water. In the Jiangnan region, the poetic and picturesque water towns and ancient towns are the same, and within the ever-changing scenery of Jiangyan, there is the Qinhu wetland with the same color of the water and the sky, and the large-scale marching night tour culture “A dream to Qinhu”, which has a national reputation. Qintong Boat Festival, there is also an ancient town of Qintong with more than 20,000 square meters of Ming and Qing ancient buildings… the colorful Jiangyan, there is always a place that is fascinating, and stay for it.

The hometown of elk, Shuiyang Qin Lake

Shiliqin Lake, Kowloon Chaoque. The scull swayed, and the grass grew long and the warblers flew. The scenic Qinhu Wetland is located in the Lixiahe area, one of the three famous depressions in the country, covering an area of ​​806.9 hectares. It is a national wetland park with the theme of “water, wetland and ecology”. The lakes and rivers in the park are criss-crossed, and the fields are dotted with hundreds of species of animals and plants. It is also the habitat of red-crowned cranes and the hometown of elk.

Hearing that “Qin Lake Wetland is a Bibi in the Sky”, I know that this is true when I am in a wet place. Visit the Qinhu National Wetland Park, pass through the scenic gate of an overhead boat, go straight ahead, pass the quiet landscape on both sides, and reach the cruise ship dock. The moment we stepped on the locks of the cruise ship, we turned over the most exciting page of Qinhu Lake, misty and ink-washed. Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the oars moving on the water surface, the vast lake water promotes the velvet aquatic plants to dance lightly. Sometimes waterfowls sing on the reeds, and wild mallards soar on the side of the cruise ship. The original noisy heart suddenly feels comfortable. As the boat travels to the depths of the lake, the promenade in the center of the lake is greeted by the mottled water shadow, which is like a broad road leading to the pure land of bliss. It is refreshing and full of joy.

After disembarking, walk along the tree-lined plank road full of spring. There is a science museum that talks about the Qinhu Wetland. The original use of pictures, text, video, and real-life water circulation system in the museum, for us to popularize the coexistence of people and birds in the Qinhu Wetland. Microcosm of the wonderful world. If you have plenty of time, you might as well follow the tour guide to slowly savor the mystery of the Qin Lake Wetland.

Facing the breeze, Yangliu Yiyi, insects and birds whispered. Stroll in the lake center park, one step at a time, and appreciate the tender beauty of the water village of “cedar forest water corridor, water stream and flower bank”. Many people come to Qin Lake Wetland for the cute elk. According to data records, Qin Lake is the habitat of elk, and a large number of elk fossils have been unearthed here. Today, there are still more than 50 elk living on this wetland, which shows that the natural ecological environment of Qin Lake wetland is extremely superior.

To find the trail of the elk and meet the elk at close range, you need to walk about 7.8 kilometers. Although the distance is long, the air in the park is fresh and the scenery is picturesque. If you walk with friends and revel in the beautiful scenery, you can forget the fatigue of hiking. If you are travelling with an elderly person, you can also choose to take a sightseeing bus. Due to time constraints, we finally had no chance to see the elk on the Yinyin Wetland with its head down drinking water and grazing. If you want to experience the tranquility and safety of the Qinhu wetland in depth, you might as well take a boat ride at the boat dock to experience the wonderful artistic conception of “people swimming in the painting”.

The lush Qinhu Lake is like a book, and the grass and tourists are words written by the breeze. The misty and vast Qinhu Lake is like a painting, shallow traces of water waves and migratory birds under the drizzle. The Qin Lake in the daytime is fresh and refined, gentle and moving, it is fascinating. So, what is the scene of Qin Lake at night?

A feast of light and shadow in the city of water city, a dream of Qin Lake

The beauty of Qinhu Lake will not fade due to the change of time sequence, nor will it be dimmed by the advent of night. The night is drooping, the past silent cruise ship dock, thousands of lights are dim, a dreamlike water city urban light and shadow feast is about to be staged.

When the mountain is silent, the water is quiet, the lights are on, and the cruise ship docks are singing and dancing. The long-awaited “Night Tour to Qin Lake” by thousands of people in Jiangyan finally came out. A light show with the theme of “One Dream of Qin Lake” made up for the “empty” night of Qin Lake, giving travelers a new and novel travel experience and adding a beautiful scenery to Jiangyan.

With the development of the times and the rapid development of technology, night tours have become a must-have for travel life. Back in the past, Jiangyan’s single nightlife, today’s Shuicheng night is dazzling with the night cruise of “Qin Lake in a dream”.

There are some beautiful things in the world, but they can’t be met. It coincided with the advent of “One Dream of Qin Lake”, we were fortunate to watch the night tour of Qin Lake that can be compared to the “Venice of the Water City”. “A Dream of Qin Lake” starts from the Qin Lake Pier, and travels along the route through “Nine Dragons Chaoque”, “Pagoda of Medicine Master”, “Liu Li Zen”, “Dian Jiang Tai”, “South Tower Reading”, “Guzhen Xinxin” Scenic spots such as “Rhyme” reproduce the poignant mythical story of Qinhu Lake through the expression of water curtain projection, water light show, water dance, and drone phalanx. Under the colorful lights, the glazed Zen rhyme of the slender Buddha statue on the lake surface is clearly visible. When the cruise ship circumnavigated the pagoda half a circle, many travellers clasped their hands to worship, hoping for good luck and prosperity.

This exquisite “visual feast” realizes the diversified travel experience of travelers enjoying the day and night scenery of Qin Lake quietly with “one scene during the day and one dream at night”. The ineffective Qin Lake tour is rejected, which is amazing. !

The largest floating temple fair in the world: Qintong Boat

After the Qingming Festival, the people of Jiangyan ushered in the most grand festival of the year: the Qintong Boat Festival. One side of water and soil nurtures one side of people. Qintong Water Town is agile due to water. In the same Dragon Boat Festival, there are dragon boat races in many places with similar traditions. In the Qintong area of ​​Jiangyan, Jiangsu Province, since the Song Dynasty, there has been an ancient folk boating activity. In 2007, the Qintong Boat Festival was listed as one of the first batch of intangible cultural heritage in the country and became one of China’s top ten folklore festivals, so it became famous.

Although I missed the blooming season of spring flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, I happened to encounter the world’s largest water temple fair: the Qintong meeting boat. There are losses and gains. How do you know or be blessed? Let it be wherever you go, lucky to see it!

It is reported that Qintong Boat Festival was originally because the locals protected the paradise of Qintong in order to thank the Yue Family Army for their heroic resistance to gold. Therefore, during the Ching Ming Festival, the spontaneous punting came here to pay tribute to the anti-gold heroes Yue Fei and the Yue Family Army. Of the undead. Gradually, the phenomenon of scrambling to sweep the tomb and commemorate the heroic soul on the Qingming Festival. Over time, this gradually evolved into the annual Qintong Boat Festival. For thousands of years, it has been passed on from generation to generation without interruption.

On a sunny morning, at the Qin Lake Meeting Boat Wharf, a grand folk meeting boat kicked off. Thousands of boats competed, hundreds of boats competed, thousands of people watched the ceremony, and the event was unprecedented. The charm of the water village is as beautiful as a picture. Folklore nostalgia, both refined and popular.

This grand floating temple fair was held as scheduled, not because of one person, but by thousands of ordinary Jiangyan people. I heard from the locals that ten days before the Qintong meeting boat, the local villages participating in the meeting boat will start to select the meeting boats, poles and rowers for the competition to test the water, and train the “Qi” directly to participate in the competition. .

On the day of the Qintong Boat Festival, thousands of people poured into the viewing platform. When the wonderful folk performances on the stage are over, with a loud salute blasting into the sky, the colorful smoke diffuses, and the Qintong boat competition officially begins. First of all, the sacrificial ship sailed into the lake area in the center of the stage of the meeting ship, followed by several tribute ships representing local culture, economy, and life. Secondly, there is a dragon boat immediately after another. Finally, there is the local Zhuzi boats in Qintong, with colorful flags fluttering, dry bamboo dancing, drums clamoring, and everyone responds.

The Qintong meeting boat is a grand ceremony of water, a gathering of boats, and people’s hard work. Compared with the ordinary landscape and scenery, this annual folk custom activity is more worth watching and intriguing.

Qintong Ancient Town, a “Living Thousand Year Old Town”

Walking into Jiangnan, there are countless ancient water towns. For an ancient town to stand out from the same Jiangnan ancient town, it must have a shining spot that “others” cannot imitate. The ancient town of Qintong in Jiangyan is just such an “unconventional” ancient water town. Except for the ubiquitous small bridges and flowing water, secluded residences in deep alleys, and stone-paved streets, this ancient town has more than 20,000 square meters of well-preserved Ming and Qing ancient buildings, and there are locals living in the streets and lanes. It is a “living”. Thousand-year old town.

Strolling in this ancient town, there are people rushing to work, people walking around, and people busy selling snacks… A scene and a thing are not deliberately arranged, but the original appearance of the ancient town. There is no transitional pursuit of “returning to ancient times”, but while preserving ancient buildings, it conforms to the modern life style. No wonder some people say that “Qintong Ancient Town has lived for a thousand years.”

You must see the old and new “Eight Sceneries” when you visit the ancient town of Qintong. The windows and tiles in the streets tell the past of the ancient town. Blue bricks and black tiles, flowers and shadows are clear. Secluded alleys, telling the past and present. One wall and one corner, the ancient charm is melodious. A tree blooms, and the garden is full of flowers.

The ancient town is surrounded by water and is known as the “land of fish and rice”. Therefore, when walking on the streets of the ancient town, you can often see fish balls, fish cakes, crabs and other flavors. Among the many delicacies in Qintong Ancient Town, the most famous is the Qinhu Eight Fresh Banquet, which is worth a try.

UFO will paint Jiangyan on the boat to keep the health and well-being of Yangqin Lake. Walking in Jiangsu, you will encounter an unforgettable “Oriental Water City Venice” tour, enjoy intangible cultural and folk activities, get close to the natural ecology, and enjoy it.

On the shore of South Lake, the white walls and gray tiles and blue sky are reflected on the lake water. The first sight of Hongcun is so amazing. Except for the blue water and blue sky, there are no brilliant and colorful colors, but the simple and elegant tones are rich in layers, just like the representative ink paintings of Chinese painting, emblem ink, rice paper, xuan pen, and She inkstone. The simple black and white ash freehand expresses an infinite rich artistic conception. Perhaps this is the aesthetic rooted in our bones, and seeing such a picture makes me feel particularly comfortable.

Although growing in the north, the Hui-style architectural villages in front of them are not alienated. The houses and courtyards are full of the warmth of home and a touch of intimacy. With a bit of yearning and expectation, after passing the small bridge, he walked into this dream home in the south of the Yangtze River.

Home is the inheritance of ethos

The first stop when we walked into Hongcun, we came to Nanhu Academy. “Jia and good Confucianism” is a major feature of Huizhou merchants’ culture. Huizhou people integrate reading with being an official and doing business, forming a “ten-household village, do not abandon reading” folk style of respecting culture and education. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were six private schools by the South Lake of Hongcun Village, which were called “Yihu Sixth Court”. During the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Yiwen, a native of Hongcun Village, took the lead in contributing capital on the advice of a friend and merged the six private schools. The villagers responded and donated money. The Academy was built in 1814, named “Yiwenjia School”, also known as “Nanhu Academy”. The academy consists of six parts: Zhidaotang, Wenchang Pavilion, Huiwen Pavilion, Enlightenment Pavilion, Wanghu Tower and Gion. The ancient academy in traditional Huizhou style covers an area of ​​about 6000 square meters.

Zhidaotang is a place for lectures. The wall is neatly written with “Zhuzi Zhijia Motto”; Wenchang Pavilion enshrines the Confucius tablet, where students pay homage to the most holy master; Huiwen Pavilion reads four books and five classics for students, and the literati reads the text A place for meeting friends; Enlightenment Pavilion is a place for enlightenment and reading; Wanghu Tower is a place for viewing and resting during leisure time, reflecting the cultural and martial arts of relaxation; and Gion is an inner garden. The academy is a place to educate children and pass on culture. Huizhou has a strong cultural atmosphere, and Hongcun’s family tradition of respecting teachers and education has been passed on from generation to generation, so talented people come forth in large numbers. Scholars such as Wang Kangnian, a book in the cabinet of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Daxie, Prime Minister and Finance Minister of the Republic of China, and Li Xiaojuan, an Australian star expert, have all enlightened here. One by one, students, generations of red-top businessmen, read poetry and books from here, unlocked their wisdom, and embarked on a wonderful life track.

Home is built by heart

Home is the place to live and the home of the heart. To build a home with heart is to create a better life. The attitude of Hongcun people towards home can be seen from the exquisite buildings. Entering Chengzhitang, this residence of Wang Dinggui, a great salt merchant in Hongcun in the late Qing Dynasty, can be said to be a veritable mansion. There are 9 patios, 7 pavilions, two entrances in front and back, with a construction area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters. The brick-wood structure has 136 columns, 60 doors, and 60 windows, which symbolizes the smoothness of six or six. It is said that 100 taels of gold and 600,000 taels of silver are used for building houses, and 5 jin of gold powder is used for the gold powder couplets in the main room alone. The best thing to look at is the exquisite wood carvings, which have been carved by 20 craftsmen for 4 years. Each wood carving is a classic story. The pictures are finely portrayed and the characters are vivid and vivid. While appreciating the art, you can also experience the profound meaning. And connotation.

Hongcun is a “cow”-shaped village. The artificial water system designed and built by Hongcun is known as “a great wonder in the history of architecture” today. The water system is built first and then the village is built. Hongcun has been carefully designed and laid out at the beginning of its construction. Make use of natural stream water, build dams on the river, build water outlets, take advantage of the terrain drop, use stone artificial canals to introduce the stream water into the village, go around the residential buildings, use the natural terrain drop to flow naturally, and merge into the “moon marsh”, and then Flow into the South Lake through the streets.

The water cannon in Hongcun is like a nine-turn “cow intestine”, coiled in the body of the cow in Hongcun. The tight and complete water system composed of the canyon, moon marsh, and South Lake is “tap water” designed by the ancients. The distance of each household in the village is no more than 100 meters. This solves the problem of villagers’ production and domestic water, and can also adjust the temperature and humidity. Huanji is far away from Fangxi, and there is a “clear spring” living environment in front of my house.

In the planning and design of Hongcun Village, according to the traditional saying of “flowers bloom, and the moon is full,” a half-moon-shaped pond was excavated in the village, taking the realm of “flowers not blooming, moon not full”, called ” Moon Marsh”. Now it has become a landmark attraction in Hongcun, as well as a shooting location for many scenic works and blockbuster films. Through scientific and sophisticated design, the people of Hongcun have achieved the “Water” article to a height that we still admire six hundred years later. Build a home with heart and create a harmonious and beautiful life. “Pilot water into the house and dig a well to prevent Zhu Rong’s ravages, take the convenience of washing, seek for the wealth of money, the filth in the house, and the fertile land outside the village.” This is the vivid summary of the function of the water system by the people of Hongcun.

The beautiful homeland also needs care. In order to protect the clean water source, the people of Hongcun have established rules from their ancestors. The water in the “cow intestines” is drinking water before 8 o’clock in the morning. After 8 o’clock, the villagers can wash here. . The water in the canal does not soar due to rains and floods, the water level is always kept below the stone slab, and the flow has never stopped in the years of severe drought. The subtleties reflect the ancients’ superb wisdom and deep understanding of the harmonious relationship between man and nature.

Home is the taste of comfort

Anhui cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines. It is based on cooking, stewing, braising, steaming, smoked and other techniques. It is salty and fresh, respects the original taste, pays attention to firework, pays attention to food supplements, and has a unique style. As the business of Huizhou merchants grows bigger and bigger, as a hometown dish for entertaining guests, Hui cuisine is spread all over the place and has a profound influence. In Hongcun, it is of course indispensable to taste the local flavor. By the side of the moon marsh, the ingredients being dried have attracted great interest from passing tourists, and they have already begun to figure out the lunch and evening dishes.

When “Bite of China” was broadcast, it showed the historical origin, cultural connotation and charm of Anhui cuisine incisively and vividly. Hairy tofu and stinky mandarin fish became a must-see online celebrity delicacy in Huangshan. I am from the north, it is easy to adapt to the salty and fresh taste of Anhui cuisine, and I like it more and more after eating it.

It is said that good mountains and rivers produce good tea. Huizhou has always been a famous tea producing area. Apart from restaurants and supermarkets, a large part of the stores along the streets of Hongcun are selling specialty products, especially tea. The newly picked Mingqian tea is on site. Stir-fried, fragrant all over the street, savor a cup of fragrant tea, fragrant refreshing.

Although it was the first time I came to Hongcun, I was no stranger to it. I even had a sense of deja vu, as if I had returned to the homeland where I grew up. What I saw and heard in the village seemed to awaken the imprints in my memory. Perhaps this is the recognition of beauty rooted in the heart that will evoke the memory of home. Some people say that Hongcun is a painting, and there is a natural ink Jiangnan constructed between the blue tiles and white walls. Some people say that Hongcun is a poem. A dream, vaguely dreamland, as if walking into the dream home in the depths of the soul.
