Suddenly, I had the opportunity to travel, and the city I was going to was the place of my dreams: Suzhou.

For a long time, I have always had a good feeling for Suzhou, not to mention the reputation of heaven, the chicness of the garden, and the uninhibited Tang Bohu alone has fascinated me for a long time. There are also Wu Nong soft language, small bridge flowing water, talented beauty...

For some reason, I have always had an inexplicable yearning for Suzhou girls, although there is no sensory impression, but many things are so unclear, unconsciously there is already a sense of belonging. Although for a long time it has not been known that Suzhou is xishi's hometown.

Maybe this learning opportunity does not have much free time, so I have no time to go to Peach Blossom Dock to get close to Tang Xieyuan, but I can still experience the legend of Qiu Xiang in Suzhou City.
Maybe I will come and go in a hurry, without time to see the relics left by the Xishi girl, and even less able to appreciate the profound meaning contained in the story of the lying wage. If you have regrets, make them the goal of your next trip!

In addition to studying, walking in the rain of Suzhou, the rain seems to be very quiet under the background of the night, walking in the streets and alleys for a long time, and gradually feel that they have integrated into the city.

The real Suzhou is in these narrow streets and alleys. Uwa white walls, vines and bamboo trees, small bridges flowing water, Wu Nong soft language...

In addition to studying, there are several major wishes on this trip: to see Suzhou houses, to admire the flowing water of small bridges, to go to a garden, and to explore the ruins related to Tang Bohu.

Tang Yin, the character Bohu, the number six is like a layman. How could Tang Xieyuan, who had been "joked" by recent film and television works, think that after hundreds of years, he would become the protagonist of the "nonsense" funny?

Unlike the atmosphere of Beijing's hutongs, Suzhou alleys are more in line with my taste. Narrow alleys, many twists and turns, from time to time you can see some of the former residences of celebrities with very Jiangnan characteristics. Many of these celebrities are something we have never heard of, but it is these subtle influences that have added a lot of bookish atmosphere to the ancient city of Suzhou.

Walking casually in the rainy night, I slowly fell in love with this feeling of freedom.

The name of a bus stop is "Pick-up Bridge", which may be related to the Qianlong Liuxia Jiangnan, and there are many "mechanical and electrical" shops around, which seems to be somewhat incompatible with the book atmosphere in Suzhou. Passing through the street, a small stone bridge crosses the bending flowing water (do not have to investigate whether it is the so-called driving bridge), and the deep and quaint alleys appear in front of you, and the houses are very Jiangnan characteristics.

Stop and go, walk through a lot of streets and alleys, and back to the main road, at the end of the road is a bridge, walk to the front, the eyes suddenly brightened: "Taowu Bridge" a few words on it, it seems that this area is "Peach Blossom Dock". The night is so deep that it is impossible to savor it, so leave everything for the coming day...

The sky was bright, the window became sunny, the haze of the past was gone, and even the sky seemed to be washed away by the rain.
After eating the Suzhou-style "pancake fruit", I began the day's journey.

The garden is indeed very chic, and the literati freehand landscape is indeed very exquisite, but the time is tight, there is no time to savor, and at the same time, some nostalgia for our "ancient lotus pond".
Walking forward, the alley is still quaint, and there are many long signs hanging in an open place, and if you look closely, they are all related to peach blossom docks. Ha, could there be a fascinating stroke of luck today?

Then we arrived at the Taowu Bridge, turned from Taohuawu Street to the alley, and walked blindly, only knowing that there must be relics related to Tang Bohu in this deep alley. Continue walking, small streets, alleys, paying attention to the details of the houses and all the signs that can display the place name.
Old House - The author's little donkey brother
The fun may be in this persistent search, and finding it too quickly is less interesting. This one has "Tang Yin Ancestral Hall", "Tang Yin Tomb", "Tang Yin Former Residence", stopping from time to time to look, hoping to find a direction from the style of the residence.

In the ancient city of Jiangnan, the bustling streets are stirred up by tourism and commerce, the houses in this area are very old, the demeanor of the residents in the alleys is integrated with the quaint houses, Wu Nong's soft language is very comfortable to hear, and it seems to hide a little tranquility in the bustling city. This is the real Suzhou.

Baoding and Suzhou are both cultural ancient cities, although there are many differences in region, history, etc., but the two ancient cities of similar size still have a lot of similarities...

I was a little thirsty, so I went to a store and bought a bottle of water, and the well-known brand brought my feelings back to the modern era. Continue to search under the guidance of the old man. The alleys are like a labyrinth, and the unfamiliar place names make people more and more dazed, and unconsciously walk to the bustling section of the road, and suddenly a tall pagoda and a temple with high walls appear in front of you.

Hoonji Pagoda - The author's little donkey brother
When I got closer, I learned that this was the "Bao'en Temple" built by Sun Quan for his mother during the Three Kingdoms period. The best reward for a mother is to keep her warm while she's still alive, because a great mother doesn't care how much you give her. And what is the use of creating these many tall buildings so that ancient and modern figures for more than a thousand years feel that he repays his mother's kindness?

I don't like these emperors, but I still prefer The citizen of Suzhou - Tang Bohu. So I turned back to Peach Blossom Dock.
It was nearly noon, and some of them were hungry and began to look for a place to eat. Back to the fan-making shop where I first came, the owner looked more like a literati, and when he saw me back, he smiled and asked me if he had been to Tang Bohu's former residence and pointed me out the directions.

I thought that with this guidance, I would find it relatively quickly, but this was not the case, and I was walking around in the narrow alley, feeling more and more dazed.
Uva White Wall - The author's little donkey brother
Getting more and more irritable, I decided to have lunch first. There was a fast food restaurant in front of a large company that resembled a staff canteen, and after seeing that the food was boring, he turned around and went out. As I continued to walk, a relatively open place appeared in front of me, so I turned around. There is a tourist bus parked in front of you, next to a building with a very Jiangnan characteristic, if you look closely, it is a public toilet?! Further on, one side of the pond, known as "Double Lotus Pond", stands on the opposite side of a sign - "Tang Yin's Former Residence"!

It seems that this is the joy of discovery, and if it is too easy to find, it is a lot less fun.
After lunch near Tang Bohu's former residence, my heart became much more steadfast, and I began to slowly taste this legendary "peach blossom dock".

"The drunk only sits in front of the flowers, and the drunk comes to sleep under the flowers."
Half drunk and half awake day after day, flowers fall and blossom year after year.

Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it.
There is no tomb of Wuling Haojie, no flowers and no wine hoes for the field.

There were no peach trees, no nunneries, a pool of dirty water, a few withered lotus flowers.
A number of ordinary houses are not what they used to look like.

It is said that the real Peach Blossom Temple has long since collapsed, and the size of the pond is much smaller than it was at the beginning.

In fact, such a situation was known before coming, but there are still some regrets after really coming. In front of the pond, I silently recited the "Peach Blossom An poem", although I did not drink alcohol, but I still had a long-cherished wish. So I meditated for a moment, and I packed my bags...
