Kunming Flower and Bird Market, located on Yongdao Street in the center of Kunming, is not a simple market, but a well-preserved old neighborhood of Kunming.
It is close to the ancient Jinjin Building, which is the central business district of Kunming in ancient times. Today, when the city of Kunming has undergone tremendous changes, it is very gratifying that it has been completely preserved and has become an antique pedestrian street in the downtown area.
I like to visit the flower and bird market, here are my good memories, the process of visiting the flower and bird market, is a process of reminiscence.
No, I had just walked to the vicinity of the flower and bird market, and I found the memory of the past.
Isn't this the house we lived in when we were kids? Everyone lived in the courtyard, often washing clothes on wells or utility pipes, and after washing, they used forks to dry their clothes on the ropes in the courtyard.
I saw the stone road and wooden shops in the flower and bird market, so kind, it is the taste of old Kunming that we are familiar with!
In this street and alley, everywhere the eyes go, you can stir up the waves in your heart, so comfortable!
First go and see the most splendid building next to the flower and bird market called Victory Hall.
Located next to the Flower and Bird Market, shengli hall was built on the site of the former Governor's Palace of Yungui, and construction began in 1944, originally named "Zhigong Hall", then changed to "Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall", and when it was completed in 1946, it was changed to "Memorial Hall of Victory in the War of Resistance".
The yellow curved building built on the walls of the cups on both sides is known as the Victory Wine Cup Building, and has now become a popular attraction in Kunming.
The moral of this attraction is to raise a glass of wine to celebrate the victory of the War of Resistance!
After seeing the Victory Hall, we went to see the former residence of Nie Er, another famous attraction of the flower and bird market.
Nie Er is a famous musician in China and a composer of china's national anthem.
Nie Er's former residence has now become a small Nie Er Memorial Hall.
With reverence, we remember Nie Er's short but great life.
At that time, Nie Er's parents were here and set up a medical center called Cheng Chun Tang to provide medicine for the local people.
On February 14, 1912, Nie Er was born. His mother was his musical initiator, teaching him to sing and read from an early age. This is a literacy card made for him by his mother.
When Nie Er was four years old, his father unfortunately died of illness, and his mother took up the burden of the family.
Nie Er was gifted and intelligent, and was a good student with excellent character and learning. From an early age, he has a great talent in music.
In 1927, he was admitted to the Yunnan Provincial First Normal School. In 1928, he joined the Communist Youth League of China. In 1930, he went to Shanghai and joined the Anti-Imperialist League. In early 1933, Nie Er was introduced by Tian Han to join the Communist Party of China.
In 1935, the "March of the Volunteer Army", composed according to the lyrics of Tian Han, was selected as the national anthem of the People's Republic of China in 1949, and was determined as the national anthem of the People's Republic of China in 1982, becoming an important symbol of the spiritual civilization of the Chinese nation.
Nie Er created several firsts in the history of Chinese music.
Nie Er was the first composer to write the national anthem of the People's Republic of China; the first musician to write songs for the Chinese nation and the toiling masses of China and to create the image of the Chinese proletariat in their songs; the first film musician to use film music to arouse the masses to build a great wall of flesh and blood against imperialist aggression; a musician who conveyed revolutionary ideals in the form of mass songs; was the first musician to shape the image of Chinese working women in the form of art songs; and was the first musician to call on New China in the form of children's songs.
On July 17, 1935, Nie Er drowned while swimming on the beach in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, at the age of 23.
Nie Er's short and glorious life has been recorded in the annals of history and will always live in the hearts of the people.
After seeing Nie Er's former residence, I continued to tour the flower and bird market.
In front of a shop, I saw a statue of a group of Flying Tigers.
The people of Kunming are very grateful to the Flying Tigers. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Kunming was bombarded by the Japanese army, and houses collapsed on the streets and corpses were strewn everywhere. After the Flying Tigers arrived in Kunming, they engaged in a fierce air battle with the Japanese army, won the victory, and beat the Japanese army into the wilderness and fled. Kunming thus gained a peaceful life for a period of time.
During the Flying Tigers' time in Kunming, they used their cameras to take many photos of Kunming. This is a picture of the flower and bird market of that year by a doctor of the Flying Tigers.
The old buildings preserved here now look beautiful and have deep cultural connotations.
Since ancient times, it has been the commercial center of Kunming, so there are many shops and many large businesses and silver cabinets in Kunming.
The century-old shop Forint Hall.
Here, the bustle of the modern city and the quaint nature of the old times are skillfully combined.
The houses and streets here are also full of the atmosphere of the times, and these familiar slogans and slogans can't help but recall the days when passion burned.
Walking down the street, I remembered the story of me and the flower and bird market.
When I was a child, I especially loved to keep small animals. At first, he was particularly fond of fish farming, and often went to the flower and bird market to buy fish tanks, fry and bait. Later, I liked to raise birds, cats, and dogs, and the breeding sources of these animals were all provided by the flower and bird market.
At that time, I also saw cockfighting and cricket fighting games at the flower and bird market.
After middle age, he especially likes to raise flowers and plant grass, and frequently runs the flower and bird market in order to buy flowers, pots, fertilizers, etc.
When I got older, I became obsessed with square dancing, where I could buy national costumes, fans, performance props and so on.
The flower and bird market brings me a lot of joy!
Now, the flower and bird market has undergone great changes, and two large shopping malls have been built. There are a wide range of goods, everything you need, rich in national characteristics.
There are also a lot of leisure and entertainment facilities added here, which has become a good place for Kunming people to shop and relax.
In particular, the food shops in the flower and bird market are all authentic Kunming taste.
There is an internet celebrity food restaurant called Liu Huan, and I went inside to have a look.
As soon as I entered, I was first attracted by the waiter's clothes, which is the classic Kunming rural women's dress.
A British-Danish blue cloth coat, all carefully made by hand, with an embroidered turban on the head, an embroidered waist around the waist, and handmade cloth shoes on the feet, this dress makes me feel familiar and kind!
First of all, I will introduce you to this signature dish called Liu Huan Fried Bait Block.
Bait is a special favorite food of Yunnan people. The bait is made from high-quality rice, which is washed, soaked, steamed, pounded and kneaded into various shapes.
The bait is cut into slices and stir-fried with meat, vegetables and sauce to make a soft and fragrant stir-fried bait.
This dish also has a name called the Big Rescue.
It is said that after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, when the fallen Yongli Emperor fled to Tengchong, he cut off cooking several times, endangering his life, and the people of Tengchong offered fried bait to break the siege. The Yongli Emperor sighed, this is really the great driver who saved Yuan. Therefore, Tengchong fried bait block is called "big rescue".
Be sure to try sweet liquor here.
Sweet liquor is mash. This sweet liquor is particularly sweet and mellow, especially delicious.
The pea flour here is also delicious. Yellow pea flour with bean flavor, with rich ingredients and peanut sesame seeds, is sweet and sour in the mouth, spicy and smooth, very delicious.
There is also a famous long-established rice noodle shop in the flower and bird market called Jianxin Garden.
Here you can eat a variety of rice noodles, such as bridge rice noodles, brine rice noodles, fried rice noodles, cold rice noodles, eel leaf rice noodles and so on.
This is eel meat leaf rice noodles, very smooth and delicious.
