Shanghai
I heard that I was collecting materials, Teacher Zhang recommended me to the old city of Songjiang, and my heart was not as good as action, so I went to step on it.
Songjiang Old Town
Day1 (2022.1.19): Huaning Road → Humanities Songjiang Activity Center→ Songjiang Cangcheng → Yunjian Granary → Huaning Road
Matsue Station
On the way to the old town of Songjiang, the yin and yang were wrong, the old driver went around the opposite direction, and even drove to the end of Zhongshan South Road, I thought, this mistake, but found the new world, this place actually has 5 places to punch the card line.
1. Matsue Station. Songjiang Station, is a small railway station on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Line, 56 kilometers away from Shanghai Railway Station, 26 kilometers away from Shanghai South Railway Station, 145 kilometers away from Hangzhou Railway Station, this railway station was built in 1908, is a railway station with a century-old history, because of the sense of age, this station has become a filming place for many crews and Wenqing, Jia Zhangke's "Platform" and Zhou Tuoru's "To Youth 2" have been filmed at the railway station. In order to feel the sense of age of this railway station, returning from Hangzhou in 2019, I deliberately got off at Songjiang Station in advance, punched the clock on the platform, stayed for a long time, and was almost misunderstood by the staff as a ticket evader.
2. Drunken Baichi Station. Zuibaichi Station is a station of Shanghai Metro Line 9, built in 2012, is a subway station full of cultural colors, the auxiliary buildings of the station include a book museum, a multi-functional exhibition hall, a calligraphy and painting celebrity studio, a 24-hour urban study, etc. The subway station combines local documents, calligraphy and painting art, information interaction, and shows the cultural connotation of "the domain of books and the city of calligraphy and painting" in many ways.
3. Drunken white pool. Drunken White Pond, is one of the five classical gardens of the magic capital, built in the Song Dynasty, rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, this garden, in addition to enjoying the natural scenery of Jiangnan poetry, you can also see the calligraphy stone carvings of the Yuan Dynasty and the pavilions of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, feel the poetry culture and architectural art of the ancients, and there are more stone inscriptions in the garden, which is one of the characteristics of this garden.
4. Humanistic Songjiang Activity Center. Humanistic Songjiang Activity Center, just next to the Zuibaichi subway station, is a new landmark of Songjiang culture, in this one-stop public space, you can visit art exhibitions, watch literary and artistic performances, participate in group cultural activities, etc., the activity center has been completed, but the exhibition hall has not yet opened, according to the staff, January 25 will be open, you need to make an appointment to watch the exhibition.
5. On both sides of the small river opposite the railway station. There is a clear river opposite Songjiang Station, there are many willow trees planted on both sides, although it is winter, but the posture of the psychic is still very moving, presumably winter to spring, the revival of all things, "fluttering shimmering green poetry, tree waist half exposed shadow jagged, light light cage misty color, I don't know where to call the yellow oriole" Scenery, will definitely be presented.
Humanistic Matsue Activity Center
Humanistic Songjiang Activity Center is located on the east side of Zhongshan South Road in the old city of Songjiang District, Shanghai, and is closely related to The Zuibaichi Station of Metro Line 9.
The activity center is mainly composed of Yunjian Literary and Art Hall, Yunjian Theater, Songjiang Cultural Center New Hall and Songjiang Library Branch, which will become the iconic cultural function center of Songjiang in the new era.
The design of the activity center associates the adjacent Zuibaichi Park as a whole, organically unifying the renewal and upgrading of the old city with the inheritance of the historical context, forming a special style of connecting ancient and modern bridges and building scenery.
From the perspective of the shape of the overall building, the roof form of the traditional building is adopted, so that the space is closely connected, forming a rolling and undulating architectural form, and the shape of the wave-shaped roof and the undulating streamline is very visually impactful, whether it is viewed from a distance or up close.
From the perspective of the façade of the overall building, the combination of white walls + green bricks + wood and other elements of traditional buildings is adopted, and the form of glass curtain wall and solid wall is combined, which is both novel and unique, and reduces energy consumption.
This façade is like a bamboo book spread out, but also like a string of the harp, the little friends suddenly have a wonderful idea, in the square, began to write and direct themselves, a young sister took the façade of the activity center as a string, played a good one, sent to a certain tone, it seems that it must be a fire, will be hot?! We just entertain ourselves and have fun, but we laugh others to the point of bellyache, and we also know wood, hahahahaha!
When we went, the interior was not yet open, unfortunately, can only go around outside, around, look at, and so on, take a time to soak for a day, is not a very good idea Ha!
The square of the Humanistic Songjiang Activity Center is quite large, and the ground-type square and the sunken square are set up with many landscape sketches, such as strange stones, rockeries, pine trees, and paths, the construction of these elements makes the whole square full of a Chinese garden atmosphere, as well as the lotus plaque on the gate tower, the zigzag pattern on the wooden beam, all full of Highlighting the Charm of Chinese Culture.
On the west side of the square, there is another group of sculptures with sculptures of 5 representative Songjiang people, all of whom are celebrities in the cultural and artistic circles, namely: Yu Zhenfei, an artist of Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera, Cheng Shifa, a famous master of calligraphy and painting of the Shanghai School, Wen Mu, a Shanghai opera actor and playwright, Sang Tong, a music educator, composer and music theorist, and Wu Yumei, a national first-class artist and researcher of calligraphy and painting at the Calligraphy and Painting Institute of the Central Research Museum of Literature and History.
Walking on the square, feeling the humanities, I can't help but think of a sentence said by a famous artist: "Ten years of Shanghai to see Lujiazui, a hundred years of Shanghai to see the Bund, a thousand years of Shanghai do not miss Songjiang." "If you have time, go to Matsue more."
Matsue Cangcheng
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, alone
It seems to be long, long
And lonely rain alley,
I hope to meet
One lilac like
A girl with a grudge.
……
This is a fragment of the modern poet Dai Wangshu's "Rain Lane" that many people know, but this rain lane is in the place of Cangcheng, perhaps no one may know, even if they are natives of Shanghai, they may not know where Cangcheng is, in fact, Cangcheng is in the old city of Songjiang District.

Matsue Cloth Exhibition Hall
Songjiang Cloth Exhibition Hall is located at No. 203 Zhongshan West Road, Songjiang Cangcheng, Shanghai.
This is a three-in-two-story ancient building of the Qing Dynasty, which is the original Kai's old house, and in such a century-old house, the display of ancient Songjiang cloth can no longer be appropriate.
Speaking of MatsueBu, it has to be associated with a historical figure - Zodiac Po.
Huang Daobo is Songjiang Wunijing people, the Yuan Dynasty brought back advanced cotton textile technology from Yazhou, after the improvement and innovation of textile tools, so that songjiang at that time almost every home spinning, household weaving, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, Songjiang has become the manufacturing center of China's cotton textile industry, the Ming Dynasty Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu" said: "All cotton cloth has every inch of soil, and weaving Shang Songjiang." Qing Kangxi's "Songjiang Fu Zhi" also mentions: "Everything produced in my hometown is practical, such as Aya and cloth, and the clothes are under the world, although Su and Hangzhou are not as good as it is." At that time, there was also a folk song that "I can't buy The Songjiang cloth and the Weitang yarn can't be collected" was also circulating.
According to relevant historical records: during the Qing Xianfeng period, the country sold 45 million pieces of cloth, of which 30 million horses were produced in Songjiang Province, accounting for about 2/3 of the country, and at the same time, through the Maritime Silk Road, Songjiang cloth was exported to Western countries, in the early years of the Qianlong Qing Dynasty, Songjiang cloth was exported to Britain, when it was popular in Britain, a kind of songjiang cloth called purple flower cloth, which was popular in France at that time, and there were specific descriptions in the French writer Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables".
The exhibition hall is mainly divided into three areas: First, the Songjiang cloth physical objects and historical materials display area. This area displays claspcloths, standard cloth, three-sided cloth, twill cloth, purple flower cloth, medicinal patch cloth and other varieties of Songjiang cloth with different patterns, most of these exhibits are derived from the local folk, as well as various advertisements of Songjiang Cloth Zhuang in the Republic of China period, the treasures in the exhibits are Qing Dynasty purple flower cloth, thread blankets from the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, liberation cloth from the New China period, etc. The treasure of the town hall in the museum is the exquisite gift certificate collected in Kaifeng, Henan Province, which is the dowry at the bottom of the pressure box for Songjiang girls to marry to Henan at that time.
The second is the Songjiang cloth experience interactive area. This area displays a variety of weaving tools, such as: shuttles, spindles, winding boards, spinning machines, looms, etc., in this area can also experience interaction, such as weaving experience, dyeing experience, female red experience, woodblock prints, etc., the museum also opened a manual learning course, can be personalized according to individual or team needs, or weaving or dyeing, or screen prints or wood pottery, can be interested in learning and production.
The third is the Songjiang cloth cultural and creative products area. The ancient Songjiang cloth is now advancing with the times, and the clever use of Songjiang cloth has created many derivative products, such as: cheongsam, clothing, hats, lampshades, hanging paintings, backpacks, handbags, book covers, cloth dolls, etc. Songjiang cloth, which was once fashionable in the world, is now re-emerging and rejuvenated.
The exhibition hall is open from 9:00 to 16:00, closed every Monday and open for free.
Du's carved building
Du's Carved Flower Building is located at No. 266 Zhongshan West Road, Songjiang Cangcheng, Shanghai.
Speaking of this carved building, we have to mention the Du family of Songjiang at that time, this big family, one is the descendants of the Ming Dynasty Shangshu Du Shiquan, the other is the descendants of the Qing Dynasty Tongzhi Jinshi Du Xixiong, as early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was concentrated in the Songjiang Cangcheng area to settle down, passed down from generation to generation, between Xiuye Bridge and Dacang Bridge, there are many building ancestral halls of the Du family, more than ten have been included in the Shanghai Songjiang District level and registered immovable cultural relics, such as Du's Carved Flower Building, Du Clan Ancestral Hall, Du's Buddha Hall, etc. Among them, the Du's carved flower building is the most precious, and it was the residence of the local gentleman Du Lingmei.
This building is the Qing Dynasty Jiaqing period, built on the ming dynasty old mansion, the mansion sits north to south, the existing four into, the first and second into the Qing Dynasty old building, the third into the Republic of China period reconstruction, the fourth into the courtyard is the essence of the whole carved building, is Du Lingmei for the daughter Du Yiqing to rebuild the wedding house, and as a new wedding gift to the daughter, is it a bit like the Chinese version of the "Mahler Villa"?
At present, Du's carved flower building has been set up as a base for intangible cultural heritage transmission in Songjiang District, and the intangible cultural heritage of Gu embroidery, boat fist, dancing grass dragon, shadow puppet play, Jiangnan silk bamboo, ten brocade gongs and drums and Yu Tianchengtang traditional Chinese medicine culture in Songjiang District is also displayed in a lively manner.
The carving building is open from 9:00 to 16:00, closed on Mondays and open for free.
The main attraction of Du's carved building: one look at the carving process, the other look at the architectural structure.
1. Engraving process. The ancients once said: "There is no carving, no house, and there is a carving." This kind of folk craftsmanship displayed by Du's carved building is elegant in classical style and unique in artistic charm.
The whole building is luxurious and exquisite, exposed wooden components, such as beams, columns, doors and windows, partitions and other large components, as well as railings, hanging, finches, bucket arches and other small components, are carved with exquisite Chinese and Western pattern patterns, what character landscape, what grass huts, what cloud pattern flowers, what rare birds and strange beasts, are some auspicious meaning of carving, especially the carving of windows and lattice fans is very chic, using British imported flower glass and Chinese clam inlay, the combination of Chinese and Western, ingenious, The most vivid should be the two dragon play bead wood carvings on the waist eaves.
2. Building structure. Du's carved flower building is a typical Qing Dynasty Jiangnan residential structure, green bricks, pink walls, Dewa, has a simple, fresh, elegant characteristics, roof, eaves, empty bucket wall, Guanyin Pocket Ridge and hard mountain style horse head gable, showing a high and low staggered shape rhythm, forming a pink wall Dewa, the courtyard of the deep architectural group style.
Outdoors, we can see the roof, cornice decorations, indoors, we can see the carved beam painting building, from the outside as a whole, the tall gable inside the building is not very conspicuous, but once you enter the house door, it is another village, the internal layout has the same thing as the northern courtyard, but it is not as atmospheric as the northern courtyard, but it seems exquisite and flexible, this winding Jiangnan residential style, very Chinese, very Jiangnan, very artistic, from the inside to the outside, It feels like it's an ancient building to read.
Du's carved building, in addition to the two major points of view of carving technology and architectural architecture, there are three different themes to enjoy.
The first is the display of ming and qing dynasty classical furniture. Carved building into the front building, two into the horse building, three into the carved building, the original house pattern has been completely preserved, different living rooms, study, box room, patio, courtyard, furnished with about 200 pieces of Ming and Qing antique furniture, these old antiques for this old mansion to add a historical atmosphere, Westerners have raised The Chinese Ming and Qing dynasty furniture to the same status as other cultural relics in China, which shows the artistic value of Ming and Qing furniture, appreciation, but also an opportunity to increase knowledge.
The second is the display of various intangible cultural heritage items. Using some of the spaces of the carved building, there are also some intangible cultural heritage projects displayed, such as transforming Hongxu Hall into a shadow puppet venue, transforming the living room into a Yucheng Paradise Chinese Medicine Shop Exhibition Hall, designing the box room as Gu Xiu's experience room, etc. Many intangible cultural heritage projects representing Songjiang are not known, and only when you look at them can you understand.
The third is the display of folk farming items. This display is concentrated in the fourth entrance of the courtyard, the interior decoration and furnishings of the courtyard have been rearranged, mainly showing some old objects from the Republic of China period, such as: rocking chairs, paper fans, bamboo baskets, children's buckets, steamed cake molds, etc., restoring the original appearance of the kitchen of that era, and also introducing the farming culture, local folklore, and some folk crafts.
There are cafes
Strolling along Zhongshan West Road in Songjiang Cangcheng, I suddenly found an old house, and the sign next to the door read "Cultural Relics Protection Point, Zhongshan West Road Zhang's Residence (Qing Dynasty)", which suddenly attracted my attention, and the logo above the gate "Ennook coffee" and the rich fragrance wafting out of the house indicate that this is a café.
Go in and sit down!
After sitting, asking, walking, and looking, I learned that this Qing Dynasty Sanjin old mansion, after renovation and overall design, has been transformed into an "existential art space" with various functions such as exhibition halls, reading rooms, cafes, etc. A series of exhibitions have been held here, such as "Impression Ink Painting" and "Please Answer 1912 - Medieval Objects and Design Time Exhibition".
The owners and team of this old house new store are young people after 95, so
The atmosphere here is both modern and classical, both fashionable and traditional, both full of youthful vitality, but also pay attention to the cultural connotation, whether it is the reading area of the atrium, or the rest area of the patio, or the display area of the front yard, there are different styles, I feel a kind of "small hidden in the wild, large hidden in the city" mood, in such an environment, while enjoying coffee, while quietly reading, or while looking at the scenery outside the window, while in a daze, and occasionally a few pleasant wind chimes, feel the quiet of the years, really comfortable.
There are beans from different production areas, different varieties, different degrees of roasting, such as China's Yunnan, Ethiopia, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama and other places, are self-baked, professional baristas will be recommended according to the preferences of guests, whether it is "coffee white", or senior "coffee friends", can find their own "favorite" here, in addition to coffee, there are also beverage teas, etc., there are all kinds of desserts, tiramisu do really good.
Songjiang Zhongshan West Road
Zhongshan Road in Songjiang Cangcheng, east from the Ring Road, west to the River Pavilion, a total length of more than 5,000 meters, ancient times there is a "ten mile long street", in the Ming Dynasty the road surface is made of stone slabs, strips of stone paving, the width of the street is only two or three meters, folk called Bian Dan Street, to the end of the Qing Dynasty, this street became the main road between the east and west of Songjiang Province, in the 30s of the last century, named Zhongshan Road.
The current Zhongshan Road is divided into three sections: Zhongshan East Road, Zhongshan Middle Road, Zhongshan West Road, of which the West Zhongshan Section starts from Xiuye Bridge in the east and Yushu Road in the west, with a total length of 1230 meters, located on the north bank of the Shihe River, and Xiunan Street on the south bank of the Shihe River, all belong to the old street of Cangcheng, this area has become the storage place and the starting place of Caoyun in Songjiang Province since the Ming Dynasty, so this area is built along the Shihe River, bridges, houses, shops are lined up one after another, famous gardens, famous houses, famous residences, famous residences are touching, and the historical and cultural heritage is very deep.
At present, Zhongshan West Road is being transformed, the original bustling and the most prosperous road, has faded the bustle, quiet, the Eaves of the Qing Dynasty compound, the horse head wall of the Huipai old house, the pane of the Republic of China Western-style Building, and the tiger window of the modern Haipai, all kinds of buildings along the road are quietly waiting for the old appearance to change its new look.
As the main road in the historical and cultural landscape area of Cangcheng, today, those dilapidated walls on Zhongshan West Road are wearing "new clothes", these wall paintings have turned this ancient road into a colorful road, white snake, Nezha, Sun Wukong, kung fu panda, gourd brothers, as well as Doraemon, big fish begonia, minion big eyes, super Mario brothers, these familiar anime images, give this old street vigorous vitality, a casual shot, is childhood!
Granary between clouds
Yunjian Granary, located in the old town of Songjiang District, Shanghai, has two entrance and exit gates, the east gate is on Songhui East Road, and the north gate is on Songjin Highway.
The predecessor of the Cloud Granary was a granary in the 1950s, which has been transformed into a cultural and creative park in this world, and there are many cultural and creative parks in Shanghai, which I think is the most attractive to me, because it is rich in formats, all-encompassing, and there are many things to see and play.
This time is my second brush, have experience, share the play route, play between the cloud granary.
1. East Gate → Renmin River Landscape Belt → the historical tracing route of East Gate, along the way there are: graffiti breaking the dimensional wall, beer culture museum, Renmin River landscape belt, the former site of the oil chemical factory, the historical axis of the cultural square, silos, rain lanes, academician buildings and other points of interest and play;

Kokura Restaurant & Creative Cuisine
Gucang Restaurant, located in the "Cloud Granary" Inner East No. 29, is a new Internet celebrity punch card, here was originally a warehouse, the two-story building façade is gray, not dazzling at all, only a floor-to-ceiling arch window from the light, vaguely to the building to bring a mysterious color, the gate does not have that kind of palatial decoration, is a simple arched door opening, into the gate, fully open depth space let people suddenly enlightened, after entering the experience, found that there are two major surprises.
Surprise one: The environment of the restaurant seems to be a place of travel.
The exterior and interior of the whole restaurant, simple, simple, comfortable, high cold, this frigid decoration style, brings a sense of cultivation and high level, very fresh, the first floor and the second floor create a different environmental atmosphere, let people feel that they are traveling.
Come to the first floor, as if to a tropical jungle, a cluster, a cluster of green plants + gray, white main colors and bright orange sofas, the color contrast is obvious, the contrast is strong, there is a warm and unrestrained background, suddenly enhance the appetite; to the second floor, it is like going to a seaside beach, a row of white headlightshades + two winding small stone paths, the sound of the waves coming from the ears, there is a romantic mood, people can't wait to eat; the second floor also has a very clever design, in addition to three rows of card seats, There are several fully transparent soundproof small rooms like space capsules, which are very new and chic; one of the hottest places in the restaurant is the spiral staircase connecting the first floor and the second floor, which is a posing pose, a large sacred place, no wonder some people will say: the building is a frozen travel.
Surprise two: The restaurant's dishes seem to be crafts.
The restaurant focuses on the fusion of Chinese and Western creative dishes, many dishes are very good, natural casual mix-and-match, can't help but make people's eyes light up, disturb the heart, touch the tip of the tongue, some dishes are very interesting, like "plucked durian ice cream" this dish, the outside is wrapped with silver-white maltose shreds, like a coiled silk hole, inside the pipa half covered, it seems that you can only pull out the clouds to see the sun, I go! Satisfy your appetite! When you see the cave: white ice cream + yellow durian + powdered egg roll fragments + ... Already salivating ha.
Some dishes are very ritualistic, like the "peach love" dish, when a vivid peach is served, people can't bear to eat it, when lifting the golden hammer, "Tuk Tuk Tuk" knocks open the peach, only to see the colorful East and West inside, completely blooming, like a flower blooming to see the Buddha, instantly beautiful.
There are also mustard foie gras bread tower, smoked lamb chops with black garlic potato minced, rosemary smoked pork neck, dried stewed lotus leaf chicken and other dishes are very creative, as for the taste, see the wisdom, I like it, especially a green onion fried red taro, subverted my impression of taro, I am a person who does not like to eat taro, but this dish suddenly made me fall in love with this taro, anyway, I think the tip of my tongue is very sour, like like is like!
However, I still have something to say about this restaurant, which is to make two personal points: First, the sofa seat is too low. The seats are low, and it is good to drink coffee and chat about leisure sitting, but sitting and eating is absolutely uncomfortable, especially like people with long legs, bending their legs to eat with their bodies, so tired! It is strongly recommended to prepare some taller chairs so that the big legs can sit comfortably; second, the air wither heat is too strong. The waiters in the restaurant are wearing shirts, the foodies have not yet eaten to take off, not to mention the drinkers, a glass of wine has not yet belly, on the top of the head smoke, sweating on the back, as if in the winter northeast pit to eat, outside 0 ° below, inside the same feeling of 30 ° Celsius, it is strongly recommended that the temperature difference is not so large!
Finally, with the foodies to wake up Ha, the restaurant speed is a little slow, to understand, the reason! Each dish is a craft, to be carefully crafted.
One day to step on the point, found that the old city of Songjiang really has a lot of materials, new houses, old houses, big roads, small narrow alleys, there are a lot of flexible stories, the material is very full, the harvest is very full, the stepping point is very complete.
