A one-day trip to Chengde can release stress, stimulate thrills, and make people feel emotional aftertaste. This kind of travel is also very interesting. It can take care of the elderly without affecting the daughter's study. So with Tianjin as the center and 350 kilometers as the diameter, the mountains and rivers in the circle will become the other side of my day trip.
How can I live up to the peach blossoms in full bloom and the spring breeze blowing on my face! Keep your old eyes open and stare at Wu Qiao, that big world of magic is worth seeing.
Set off
Today is April 21, 2019. Everything is proficient and step-by-step, so there is no burden for 210 kilometers one way! The bright green of the North China Plain is turning mature. The dense isolation belt makes it impossible for you to see far away, and the faint villages reveal messy houses and dilapidated billboards. With a dense population and a dry climate, agriculture is no longer a reliance on local people's lives.
The groove-like plains are high-speed, monotonous and depressing. How can you feel the excitement when you go to Chengde to cross the mountains and mountains! Fortunately, accompanied by music.
Entering Wuqiao, the tourist sign of horse stepping on flying swallow is nostalgic. The first time I saw it was in Wuwei. Now it has become the totem of the tourist city and the warmth in the hearts of travelers!
The big world of antique architecture is full of roughness in its shape and spirit. Walking into Jianghu Cultural City, there are two rows of bronze statues, lifelike, reminiscent of the Jianghu entertainers who juggled when they were young, bringing joy, imitation, and bitterness to children! The adults said: If you are not obedient, you will be sent to the acrobatic troupe to suffer!
Performance
Several stages were performing in turn, sitting quietly and waiting, and the gongs and drums sounded, and the audience poured in. A boy in his 20s, with a strong accent, talking and performing, haha! It is really a reappearance of the scene of selling "Dali Pills" in traditional cross talk. When all eyes were focused, the young man was lucky to split the bricks with one palm, and the broken bricks flew like chopping melons and vegetables. Not enough fun, put your left hand between the two bricks, swing the brick with your right hand and smash it down, the brick is broken, but your hand is safe, "Okay!" The atmosphere exploded.
The young man became more energetic, and performed iron ball swallowing again. He wet the egg-sized iron ball with water, put the iron ball in his mouth and swallowed it like in slow motion, and then opened his mouth for the audience to see. Under the surprised eyes, he put on his horse stance, luckily in his dantian, just like described in martial arts novels, the iron ball spewed out of his mouth to a height of one foot, and was firmly caught.
There are good sounds all around, whether it is real kung fu or tricks, the sensory stimulation brought to people is worthy of praise.
The warm atmosphere made the onlookers gather more and more. A few unkind people stuck close to me. I zipped my pockets vigilantly and put my backpack on my chest. In Wuqiao, where the dragon is hidden and the tiger is crouching, be careful when sailing for thousands of years!
Like a good article, one ring is one ring after another, and the highlights are behind. After swallowing the iron ball and swallowing the sword, I could see clearly this time, the sword was inserted and the hilt was exposed. This is not easy, the sword has been checked by the audience before swallowing. The wife covered her eyes with her hands, wanted to see but didn't dare to look, didn't dare to look but then secretly watched. Muttering in his mouth: Won't the esophagus be leaked? Amidst the exclamation of the audience, the young man made a perfect curtain call.
An old man with a vicissitudes of life appeared on the stage. If the young man's performance is well-known and not unique, this old man's performance is a bit unusual. Two one-and-a-half-inch-long steel needles are inserted from both sides of the nostrils and inserted into the eyes. exposed. The old man had the silver needles in his eyes, and he went around the field for people to watch. If you say it's creepy or not, your wife has already turned her head away.
The last show goes up the mountain of knives, with the blades of guillotines facing upwards and fixed by ropes to form ladders. Another young man in his seventeenth or eighteenth year climbed up barefoot on the blade of a knife, and he had to perform thrilling performances in the process. When the belly was exposed and lying on the guillotine, all the audience held their breath and did not dare to make a sound. The wife suddenly lowered her head, clutched her chest and said, her heart is not feeling well! Nagging in his mouth, isn't this wicked! If anyone sends their child here, they will die if they say they are dead! I asked in a low voice: Those who swallow iron balls, aren't you worried that you won't be able to spit it out? The wife said confidently: It's okay, at most, I will go to the hospital for surgery!
monkey
Before the end here, the crowd flocked to the other side, and the monkey show was about to start.
The chubby bald entertainer interacts with the audience and monkeys with humorous language. Four monkeys come on stage in turn, playing with sticks, riding bicycles, and stepping on tightrope. The tacit understanding between humans and animals, the highlights of the pre-designed baggage are expressed to the fullest, and the happiness is passed on to everyone. It is especially popular with children. Parents let their children ride on their shoulders and look inside on tiptoe. Why! Very familiar lens.
The big monkey approaching us, although tied to the railing, bared its teeth, scratched its ears and scratched its cheeks, and its clever and vivid expression attracted a lot of attention, and it didn't even watch the performance on the field. A bit like Chen Peisi's skit "Protagonist and Supporting Role", "Hey! I am an old monkey chained here, and I am still the protagonist!"
The wife throws the sandwich bread in, which attracts all the monkeys to scramble for it. The big monkey who wins quickly hides aside, leans his back against the audience, and protects his chest. He glances around mischievously, then tears open the package, bows his head and enjoys it leisurely. Look at the other two monkeys jumping up and down, screaming, but the chain is clanging, and they can only drool, helplessly becoming poor spectators. After eating the bread, the big monkey jumped onto the iron frame and gave a deep bow to the crowd with its paws. "That's cool, sketch actor!"
it is good! It also drew praises, this monkey is smart and funny, low-key and unassuming, kind and thankful, so attractive! But in the vast sea of people, some people have evolved to get carried away, ungrateful, good and evil are their nature? Or is it because oranges are born in the north and south? Ha ha! Compared with this monkey, it's lamentable, ridiculous, and pathetic!
After watching the monkeys, I flocked to the small courtyard with the flow of people. I heard that there is a magic show inside. There are such courtyards all over the Grand View Garden. There are performances in the courtyard during the peak season, but today it is deserted. We walked from this house to that house, feeling the strong local customs, and at the same time sighed that the low-level performers in the back then could have such a large stage. Artists no longer need to harm themselves in order to attract the audience; no longer need to worry about the hard-working performance, the crowd will disperse;
Lunch
The park is closed at 12 noon, and the tickets in the morning can still come back in the afternoon. Tourists go to the commercial street in Qianmen to eat, and there are quite a variety of fast food and stir-fries. We will drive around the city and taste the local characteristics of Wuqiao.
The wide road was shrouded in flying dust brought up by large trucks. It took ten minutes to arrive at a restaurant recommended on the Internet. Like all small restaurants, there are beautiful wall charts on the wall and various ingredients on the shelves below. The decoration, sanitation, and waiters are all rural characteristics.
Look around, order a few dishes casually. A local roast chicken, a pot of boiled pork slices, a plate of roasted eggplant, and a plate of crunchy. The amount of dishes is large, and the taste is average, which is equivalent to a farmhouse. After eating greasy and greasy, I regret coming so far, it is better to eat a bowl of noodles refreshingly. The checkout is only 130 yuan, which means that the local consumption is very low, maybe there is no fancy restaurant!
circus
Hurry back, there will be magic hands and equestrian performances in the afternoon. Walking into the racetrack, there are already half of the people in the stands. Sit down and watch, there are more than a dozen horses in the arena, tall and short, and the uniforms of the riders are bright and colorful, and there is even a female rider who is heroic and shining brightly.
Tickets are sold at the gate of the fence, 20 yuan for a circle. It has provoked many people to experience it, including men and women, adults and children. There was a delicate and slender girl, wearing a half-size windbreaker and a western cowboy hat, she moved the saddle and stepped on the horse in full view of the public. Amount of mother ah! What is chic? What is Xiaoao? The woman sat on horseback with an elegant posture, she was simply a heroine in Jin Yong's works. Tsk tut praise, turned his head to his wife and said, "This girl is amazing!"
My wife said maliciously, "You also ride a lap!" I used to ride a horse, which made my wife laugh for many years. At that time, I held my son and took a photo while riding a horse. Both of them looked stiff and sweating profusely, just like in the notes of tomb robbers. Said, bumping into meat dumplings in the dark tomb. It has been a joke of my wife for many years. I mustered up the courage, "Ride and ride!" I walked down the stands with my old legs.
When a horse came over, I flatly refused, "Look at me, a handsome five-foot man, how can I ride such a small horse, wouldn't it make people laugh?" The Mongolian brawny man with the shawl, that's it! This flying on the horse is easy to say, but not easy to do. I stepped on the stirrup with one leg, pulled the saddle with both hands, and shouted with all my strength, but the other old leg couldn't leave the ground.
Thanks to the Mongolian brother, he put his shoulders on my butt and helped me climb on the horse. Sit firmly, already out of breath, my wife on the sidelines is probably already laughing and laughing, seeing her holding up her mobile phone to take pictures, she hastened to sit up straight, so she can't be laughed at anymore.
The Mongolian man led the reins and walked forward. I followed what the storytelling said, with my legs clamped tightly, my heels hitting the horse's belly, and my knees hitting the iron pipe beam. Ok! Why didn't the horse respond? It's not as good as a mule pulling a cart in the production team. Where is the energy? Carrying the Mongolian man on his back, he kicked twice again. The horse just flicked its tail, and said, "It's over, it's over, I met a stupid horse! It's so boring." Seeing other horses running past, envy! This lap was quite long, and I was drowsy from the sun.
Return to the starting point, slide off the horseback, and walk to the outside. My wife asked, "Is it fun?" The answer: "Unfortunately, I met a stupid horse!" As I spoke, I heard: "Oh, I'm so smoked!" Mao, and the sweat from the horse, it's disgusting! Rinse hands with two bottles of purified water, the smell is still lingering. Who would have thought that the Prince Charming of a young girl's dream would have such a "saoren" taste in her body!
After a while, the stands were crowded and the seats were gone. In a hurry, I grabbed a favorable position on the fence and took out my mobile phone to take pictures. When the riders got on the horses, the group of animals changed. They really borrowed their horsepower, and the horses borrowed their prestige, and they were all alive and well. First, the fast horses pass through the stands, followed by a group of horses performing in formation, and finally, the riders perform difficult moves on galloping horseback, such as riding backwards, hiding in stirrups, iron bridges, standing on saddles, flying swallows, and riding people on saddles The ladder station is really thrilling!
Look at the smelly, dirty, stupid horse I rode. Sitting on the Mongolian rider, it looked like a dragon flying out of the sea, and Yan Ran was the head of the horse. I can't help but feel that "thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole doesn't!" I also congratulate this horse on meeting the Lord of the Ming Dynasty before it can show its full demeanor.
ghost hand
The magic master Wang Baohe is called "Ghost Hand" by people in the Jianghu. In the Ghost Hand Theater, I saw this strange man with a ponytail behind his head. He is not tall and has a straight and thin body. His complexion is black and rosy, he is hale and hearty, and his voice is loud and hoarse. The style of a martial arts practitioner, his hands are like chicken feet, and his whole body has only muscles and bones left, he is really a martial artist!
He was terrified, he once performed bone shrinking skills on CCTV, and he put on a child's clothes twisted and twisted on his body, which was jaw-dropping. He is an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage and enjoys State Council subsidies. You have to meet an expert here, and rush to the front.
The ghost hand is performing three cotton balls and three bowls. Guess what's inside? This kind of performance is different from the stage. It uses the interaction with the audience, making the scene lively and making everyone feel involved. "Believe it or not, come up if you don't believe it, and guess if you don't believe it." The result must be that no one can guess right.
So many people couldn't figure it out, why did the cotton balls in the bowl disappear? Could it be that he can turn matter into molecular form?
In the relaxed and pleasant interaction, the audience enjoyed the relaxation, satisfied their curiosity, and also had a sense of acquisition face to face with an expert. In the end, the secret was solved by the ghost hand, "It is the moment the audience opens the bowl, the bowl does not move, and the inside will not change!" This is the unique skill of the ghost hand. According to the introduction, a laboratory used a high-power camera to track and shoot, but no flaws were found.
After the performance at the Ghost Hand Theater, people competed to take pictures with the Ghost Hand, and more people flocked out. I walked around the theater hall leisurely admiring the promotional posters. Get interviewed by big leaders and get intangible cultural heritage.
While strolling around, Ghost Shou was dressed in an awkward white shirt and white trousers, black shoes, and a white ponytail swaying. He was hale and hearty, and flashed in from the theater with a fairy-like demeanor. Skillfully pulled out a cigarette, lit it quickly, and a puff of smoke floated leisurely from his mouth and nose. "Haha! It turns out that gods and men are also people!" The ghost hand was still consoling the idlers in the hall: "Let's go! Let's go! There is no banquet that lasts forever."
Coming out of the theater, the huge magic world was empty, and the audience all rushed to the theater in the city, where the performance should be more exciting.
surging
We are going back. Although the sunshine in the afternoon is not as gorgeous as in the morning, it is more mature and stable. The warmth it brings to you has passed through the skin to the five internal organs and bone marrow, making people excited and excited!
Goodbye Wuqiao!
Flipping through your unpretentiousness;
Tasted the dishes you deliberately imitated but genetically difficult to change;
Watching the skills you have amazed the people of the country and passed down from generation to generation;
Looking back, the acrobats walk around in the wind and snow;
Listen up, blah blah! The sound of the gong with tears in the laughter.
I also feel sorry for your innovative ideas, the antique flavor of the construction of a magic world, it is a dynamic historical exhibition, let traditional skills have a home, let the people here no longer experience wind and rain, and let the backcountry where the family is living is moving towards prosperity!
I am also worried about whether these national treasures can continue to be passed on?
The high speed is extending, the bright sun has finished blooming for a day, and is quietly moving to the west, is the red face saying goodbye or reluctance? Today is about to pass, and tomorrow will come again.

Author's introduction: A family walks the world alone. The non-mainstream post-65s like to travel, poetry and books, and gourmet food. Looking at it from a standpoint, it seems that the colorful leaves are red in late autumn, and I feel that: after the frost and snow, everything is empty! I only wish: when you are not old, you will walk all over the green hills; if you have more than enough heart, you will laugh at the years and be ruthless!
