Entering the winter, the cold north has withered everywhere, but we are still in Lingnan Shunde cool and pleasant.

Located in the hinterland of the pearl river delta, Shunde has a warm climate and abundant rainfall all year round. It is densely populated with rivers, lakes and abundant resources.

The ancient water town in Shunde has strong folk customs and folk customs. When you visit here, you can feel that the buildings in the ancient village are very different from those in the water town in the south of the Yangtze river. The villagers’ life style of fishing and farming is very lingnan. Over the weekend, I took my family on a road trip to Shunde to sample some of the hidden delicacies of lingnan.

In 2014, the United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organization (UNESCO) awarded Shunde the title of “world’s capital of cuisine”, making it the most dazzling city card. The travel notes also take the food experience as the main line, leading you to explore some authentic local food.

Hidden in the bijiang water country cuisine, biyun ju

The first stop is hidden in the bijiang water village with the most traditional facade, do the most traditional Shunde food deyunju restaurant.

Bijiang water township was founded in the early years of the southern song dynasty. It is one of the four big wei towns in the ancient Shunde countryside.

Blue river so far has nearly one thousand years of development history, once the green river is very prosperous, according to “the Shunde county annals” records, a blue river out of the 106 juren, 17 “jinshi”, which also has the qing yongzheng, qianlong who was slain was cozbi such wit, who lingnan famous scholars and calligraphers also feeding Su Kui, Liang Reheng famous scholars and famous palace.

In the early years of the southern song dynasty, the immigrants from the south worked with the local aborigines to mine fields and develop agriculture, changing the appearance of “wild land, vast land and sparsely populated”. In the middle of the qing dynasty, bijiang developed into a large scale handicraft papermaking base, forming three xu and six cities. By the end of the qing dynasty, steam engines were introduced to process grain in the wake of the westernization movement, and it became an important “valley port” in the pearl river delta — the center of grain processing, storage and transportation. The sprouting and prosperity of commercial economy made bijiang rich.

Small Bridges running water, surrounded by green plants, towering ancient trees hung with festive red lanterns, stone statues these are very artistic characteristics.

Walk to the river side, still can see in this life of the aborigines, their life leisurely and complacent, quiet and simple, “look out the window to see the fish jump, frogs sing into a dream to come” and the old man in the countryside together to play a game of chess or mahjong, or together to “tea as wine”; From their plain life of fun to experience a satisfied people’s mood, reflect on their busy life is really happy.

The boxes in the dining hall of deyunju are very special, which are reconstructed from old dwellings. The buildings in the courtyard are kept as they were, which are in perfect harmony with the flowers, plants and trees arranged in the back, which are full of the flavor of lingnan architecture.

After visiting the ancient village, you can sit down and enjoy the delicious food of the water town. All kinds of lingnan snacks, snacks and porridge are mostly popular among the people.

The characteristic staple food of shuixiang of Fried intestine powder, rice is fragrant and mellow, which is made by grinding rice milk with traditional hand-made stone mill.

Double skin milk is the most famous dessert in Shunde. Originated in the qing dynasty, Shunde people use water milk as raw material; Its appearance is like a paste, its color is white, texture is delicate and smooth, taste sweet and fragrant light.

Shunde Fried milk was selected in the CCTV documentary “taste Shunde”. This dish requires a high skill of the chef. It USES fresh milk, stir-fries quickly at high temperature and solidification.

Since it is a water town, aquatic resources are of course very rich, the locals are good at cooking Shunde boneless fish, a fish to eat.

Bijiang roast goose bright color, sweet and crisp skin, fat but not greasy, meat and bone crisp, bite, subcutaneous fat is very sweet, side also with some Chen village powder as a side dish, sausage and roast goose juice mix is very delicious, let a person aftertaste endless.

Shunde head soy sauce chicken, in guangdong without chicken not feast, guangdong each region to eat chicken have a special way to eat. To fengcheng Shunde, is to feel here’s special soy sauce chicken.

Chicken in soy sauce is simple, but it requires a lot of food. The chicken must be free range chicken raised by local farmers, and then soaked in brine. In the process of soaking, the chicken is naturally delicious, with crisp skin and smooth meat.

I Came to Zhouzhuang Again, with a Relaxed Mood

By inTravel Logs Tag , , ,

Water is the cradle of Zhouzhuang and the lifeblood of Zhouzhuang. The ever-growing water nurtures and nourishes everything in Zhouzhuang. On the land of 0.47 square kilometers, most families live and sleep by the water. Morning dusk, the ancient town in the dawn light singing. The stone Bridges are united, the brick carvings are decorated, the residential houses are passable by the river port, the streets are criss-crossing, the ancient town is Zhouzhuang, alive and fragrant, and retains the appearance like this.

In the heart of a thousand men there are a thousand hamlets. In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Zhouzhuang. I can’t remember how many times I stepped into the water town in the south of the Yangtze river, but it was the first time I met Zhouzhuang in the rain.

For a photographer, there is no morning to be missed, not even in the drizzly winter. People say Zhouzhuang is too commercial because they haven’t walked into it in the morning. Early in the morning, it is a truly full of life in the south of the Yangtze river.

Zhou zhuang in the rain, holding an umbrella to take photos is indeed some inconvenience, but the scenery is really different from ordinary days. Long blue SLATE has been washed by the rain rub bright, street lights illuminate on both sides of the stone road, orange light like ink painting dizzy, cold SLATE and warm light in this moment of integration, this is the charm of rain.

On the way, I met very few tourists, I don’t know whether it was the rain or the cold in winter. Once in a while, I saw a curl of smoke floating on the white walls and black tiles. It was probably the old man who got up early who was lighting the stove.

The residents of Zhouzhuang get up much earlier than you think. When I set foot on the main street, someone was already walking home with the fresh food. The breakfast shops along the street are already smoke-filled, after all, they have to rely on these delicacies to earn the first bucket of gold of the day. Although the town has been well developed, it is still home to more than 600 indigenous people. Although most of them are old people who do not want to leave, they are still the most primitive and beautiful scenery in Zhouzhuang.

In a short while, we came to the most famous sign of Zhouzhuang — shuangqiao. It is the starting point of Zhouzhuang famous in the world, and it is also the place where people must take photos and punch in when they come to Zhouzhuang. A stone arch bridge, a stone beam bridge, they are like a pair of twins, located on the water, communication between the two sides of the three. The hsu brothers who built them probably never imagined that the whole town would become known to the world because of these two Bridges.

I have been to many ancient towns and seen many ancient Bridges. Why shuangqiao and Zhouzhuang? Perhaps, everything has its own destiny. The clear yinjiang river and the north and south city river meet in the northeast of the town and form a cross. The stone arch bridge crosses the north and south city river. At the east end of the bridge, there is a stone step approach bridge that extends into the streets. The bridge deck is horizontal and vertical, and the bridge tunnel is round.

Double Bridges are also known as key Bridges. Many people say that the connection between the two Bridges resembles an ancient key, but in my opinion, it is a complete combination of key and lock. The round stone arch bridge is the key, and the square stone beam bridge is the lock. At this time, the half of the key has been inserted into the lock, waiting for someone to open it.

Standing on the bridge, you can see the scenery on both sides. White walls, green and black tiles, curved Bridges, leisurely OARS, street shop fog, time seems to stop at this moment… At this point, without too many words, quietly stand, taste the air filled with simplicity and quiet is good.

A shen hall, a legend of the richest man in jiangnan

In my memory, the first to know the name of Zhouzhuang, is zhang weijian played the “cornet”. It not only tells the story of Zhouzhuang and shen wansan, but also takes place in Zhouzhuang. Shen hall, located on the east bank of fuan bridge, is not the former residence of shen wansan, but built by his descendants. But because zhou zhuang is the establishment of shen wansan, shen hall also became shen wansan legend naturally sustenance.

Seven into the five gate of shen hall, in fact, not only from the gate, the gate of the dock is also the exclusive shen. “Sedan from the door, the ship in their own”, this is a large family only have a way of life. The third into the parlor is the legendary bench. Such honored guest, tea but 3 cups please enter the VIP hall to meet with host, if not nearby take a reason of person, 3 cups of tea serve, can see off a guest. Acacia table, qianshan hundred life chart, cover table…… All of them show that the shen family’s financial resources and ideas keep pace with The Times.

Spring Festival couplets, also known as door couplets, are used to stick on both sides of doors to express good wishes for the New Year. They were always written in black ink on red paper, bright and elegant. Couplets should be symmetrical and neat. As for the content, most people choose to express good luck and good wishes for the coming year. So it’s interesting to observe some families’ spring couplets, which sometimes reflect their views on happiness. This tradition originated in the song dynasty (960-1279), but was popularized in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644).

Fu characters and New Year pictures are also indispensable Chinese New Year decorations. “Fu” means “blessing” and “good luck” in Chinese, so it often appears in the New Year. Interestingly, people always choose to stick it upside down on their doors or Windows, because the Chinese word for “da” is pronounced the same as the Chinese word for “lai”. An inverted word for “fu” means good luck. The images of the New Year paintings are colorful, including auspicious legends and some mythological gods. The god of door and the god of wealth are the most popular paintings because Chinese people believe that the god of door can protect houses and the god of wealth can help make money.

As a traditional folk handicraft, Chinese red lanterns have now become one of the symbols of Chinese culture and a necessary decoration for various festivals, especially during the Chinese New Year, Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn festival. Red lanterns will be hung on streets, shops, parks and private homes across the country as the New Year approaches. In Chinese eyes, red lanterns symbolize family reunion, prosperity, happiness and vitality. On New Year’s eve, a big red lantern is hung in front of the door. It not only lights up the night, but also lights up the hope of the coming year.

Chinese knot is a handicraft with a long history. In ancient times, knots were simply records that later evolved into ornaments and ornaments. So far, they have mostly been used for interior decoration and as gifts for friends or relatives. It is also one of the most popular Chinese New Year decorations. A Chinese knot is usually made by tying a knot with a piece of string. Knots of various shapes have different meanings, and their names are always associated with “safety” and “auspiciousness”. So people like to decorate rooms with it during Chinese New Year because of its good meaning and beautiful design.

Another traditional Chinese New Year decoration is paper-cutting, which is a folk art, using scissors or cutting knives to cut paper. Paper-cuts are usually pasted on Windows, doors or walls. They represent people’s good wishes for the future life. Most of the paper-cut designs are based on the Chinese zodiac for the New Year and some lucky characters such as “fu”, “lu”, “shou” and “xi”, which represent luck, wealth, longevity and happiness. In addition, some auspicious plants and interesting legends can also be part of the New Year paper-cut theme.

Cooking wine is used to remove or mask the smell and grease of meat, fish and seafood. Cooking wine can also add flavor to food. This is a condiment, not a drink. Cooking wines are produced all over China, but the most famous is shaoxing cooking wine, made from shaoxing rice wine.

In theory, beer, liquor and whiskey can also be used to make cooking wine. However, after a long time of practice and taste, people found that the food cooked with different cooking wine taste is very different. Food flavored with Chinese rice wine tastes best.

The cooking skills of cantonese cuisine became mature and formed some of its own characteristics. During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 AD) and qing dynasty (1644-1911 AD), cantonese cuisine became systematic, and Guangzhou was full of teahouses, hotels, restaurants and fast food restaurants.

This is the first time Buddhism has appeared in China.

To express his gratitude to the two monks and their white horse, the emperor ordered a monastery to be built the following year and named it the white horse temple.
