The ancient town of Beaulong has a century-old mystery.
On the side of the Panlong Xianghua Bridge, the lower link of the bridge body "Tenghui Baodi Caiyun High" is clearly visible, but the upper link is obliterated in the building.
Caught up with the good times, Beaulieu's old appearance was renewed. A native old man did "two things" and turned the joy in his heart into a "strategy map" of Beaulong and the uplink of "Spring Return Panlong Dragon Leap": "The prosperous era is around, and yearning for a better life is the vision of each of us." Sun Yongming, who is full of happiness, said.
"Xianghua Bridge has been built for 683 years, my home is by the Xianghua Bridge, the old bottom is a small bridge flowing water people..." In the crisp autumn season, 69-year-old Sun Yongming dressed as a "tour guide" and led a team of 50 people, this is his comrade-in-arms who went to Inner Mongolia together in his youth, and at this time everyone visited the ancient town of Panlong who gave birth to him and raised him.
In the meandering Jiangnan water system, the "Nine Dragons and One Phoenix" bridge is reflected into poetry, and the former "Ten Views of the Panlong Dragon" has been reproduced. This is a thousand-year-old town adjacent to the "four-leaf clover", a "new landmark" of the magic capital with poetic and elegant interest, and a "Jiangnan Meeting Room" embedded in the Hongqiao International Open Hub. The rejuvenated Panlong World not only improves the living environment of local residents, but also gives everyone a new way of life. Here, script reading, starry sky movies, and music salons let young people call "treasure"; The slow life under the eaves of green tiles, by the ancient stone bridge, and in the lights is beautiful; Immersive cultural experiences such as Hanfu parades, folk experiences, art exhibitions and other immersive cultural experiences are pleasing to the eye... Here, the sustainable lifestyle of modern people close to nature has the most vivid interpretation.
"A History of Xu Jingzhi and Half of Beaulong". As Shanghai's first urban village transformation of the ancient town type, Panlong Ancient Town has a history of more than 1,400 years and is itself a history book of Jiangnan water town. Before the renovation, the buildings here were dilapidated, the river was silted, and the environment was dirty, and the ancient town had long lost its former appearance. For the "aborigines" of Beaulong, what is the transformed ancient town?
"The changes are too great, the pink walls are tiled, the cornices are upturned, some of the buildings are as old as old, and some are more fashionable and modern, which can be said to be the combination of ancient charm and new fashion." "Water is the soul of Beaulong, and the river under the bridge is rippling, retaining the water charm of Jiangnan." "The old people often say that in the past, there were hundreds of shops on the long street of Panlong, and now Panlong, such prosperity has returned..." The transformed Panlong Tiandi has become a "new world in the park" that integrates water village heritage, art and humanities, leisure and entertainment, and tourists from different places come to check in every day, and the passenger flow during the "May Day" holiday alone has exceeded one million, becoming the new "top stream" in Shanghai.
"The rebirth of Beaulong Nirvana is really a new world, very excited, very emotional and happy." As a native of Beaulong, Sun Yongming has been invited to talk to the media many times to tell the historical changes of Beaulong, and then he spontaneously took up the role of "commentator" of Beaulong, speaking for young people on May Fourth Youth Day, for villagers when he went to the countryside, for literary friends at the Yangtze River Delta Reading Club, and for everyone in the family and friends group... Reading you a thousand times is not tired, with a different kind of "blood family affection", or inseparable nostalgia, Sun Yongming tells about his love for this land over and over again, spreads the humanistic history of this place with a rigorous attitude, and hopes that more people will know it and love it.
In ancient times, the poet Shen Maogong once wrote in "Xiqiao Fishing Poofing", one of the ten scenes of Panlong: Ququ Longjiang is a misty stream, and the flat boat obliquely draws the west of the bridge. The smoke is close to the ancient shore, and sometimes the wind and rain stay on the causeway. At night, faint singing sounded, resounding in the low shadow of the moon in the forest pond. Time has passed, and the poet's ten scenes of Beaulong have now been reproduced. Here you can appreciate the charm of Jiangnan, get close to the natural ecology, experience the aesthetics of life, and easily interact with society. But for first-time visitors, there is a sense of "maze". Through the "tour guide" experience again and again, Sun Yongming has produced a unique "map guide", so that everyone can not take the wrong road and enjoy the "new ten scenes" of Beaulong.
"Starting from Panlong Tiandi Gate, the first thing that catches your eye is the 'Ancient Temple Bell' (Panlong Temple), one route from south to north can enjoy 'Xianghua Bridge Shadow' and 'Cross Street', to the east is 'Longjiang Gudu', 'Qushui Lingju', 'Yihai Listening Bamboo', from East Street to West Street, you can enjoy 'Xiqiao Yupo', 'Smoke and Rain Covered Bridge', 'Panlong Bay', 'Chengci Hometown' and other attractions." Dozens of "slash" tour guide experiences not only made Sun Yongming a living map, but also treasured the stories of the ten scenery of Panlong, the nine dragons and one phoenix (bridge), and one temple and one temple.
Happiness is to live with the heart, to share happiness, and to satisfy people's yearning for a better life. There are many Beaulong "aborigines" like Sun Yongming, who share the stories of the old Beaulong in their memories, record the flowers of this new world, and in the near future, with the delivery of relocation housing, they will also stretch a new picture of happiness in this most familiar place.
