Nowadays, the pace of life in the city is fast. If you want to slow down, it seems to be a luxury to live. The fast pace of commuting every day feels overwhelming, but there is always a quiet time in life, and after a while, you can slow down. Days, in the ancient town with the last charm, are suitable for daze and contemplation; suitable for quietness with your lover...
Taking advantage of my holidays, I went out to get some fresh air while the iron was hot. In principle, I came to Xiasi Ancient Town in Kaili to relax and feel the slow pace here.
Because it is already winter, the wind is blowing along the water on the Guzhen River, and it hurts the face. It may be because it is too early. The ancient town is shrouded in a large fog, and there is always a smell of smoke and willows in the south of the Yangtze River. Look at the opposite side The house has a fairyland feeling. Really, it’s not an exaggeration at all. All the photos I took were taken with my mobile phone’s own camera. I heard from the tour guide that this ancient town has a history of more than 600 years. I can’t believe that I stepped into it now. This land was once walked by ancient people.
When I came to Xiasi Ancient Town, I avoided the peak of weekends and weekends, and I didn’t follow the tour group non-stop, coming and going in a hurry, but just went to savor the leisurely experience of the ancient town by myself. Walking in this multi-ethnic ancient town, you can hold a somewhat loose attitude. Instead of getting out of the car and going straight to your destination, you can take a slow walk along the river. At the next corner, in the next alley, maybe you will encounter a nice scenery.
I have heard that Xiasi Ancient Town is the hometown of Xiasi dogs, but I have never seen what Xiasi dogs look like with my own eyes. You can see the whereabouts of Xiasi dogs in the streets and alleys of this ancient and simple ancient town. When basking in the sun, there are always one or two dogs that you can’t wake up and pretend to be asleep. Most of the dogs I see are adult dogs. They are relatively introverted. They are always afraid of strangers and dare not approach them. Don't want to talk to me at all. The nose of the Xiasi dog is different from other breeds of dogs. It is girly pink, and, like a pig nose, looks ugly and cute. Compared with adult dogs, I prefer a small Xiasi dog who has not grown up. Just looking at it makes my heart melt, why are you so cute......
In this era when washing machines are flooding, there are still people washing clothes by the river in this quaint ancient town, and the mallet beats the memory of childhood. At that time, I didn’t know what a washing machine was. Every family washed clothes by the river, especially when the sun was very good. At that time, the women of various families walked towards the river with basins and boards, talking and laughing. The locals gather the fruits to dry under the eaves, and beat the dust of the quilts on the bamboo poles, revealing the taste of life.
