After an atypical July, Xia Tian finally revealed his fierce nature. The sun pierced through the shade like a poisonous thorn, piercing his body with burning pain, sweat dripped from his cheeks to his neck, and slipped into the neckline, wet the already soaked clothes again, in this team of pick-up children, mixed with the pungent smell of sweat and perfume, but no one is willing to retreat, they are desperately crowded outside the iron gate, as if Worried that the child will be snatched away by a stranger.

Knowing the ignorant cheers, adding to the irritability in the air, I stood at the end of the circle, and the old man next to me was shaking the cattail fan with the greatest horsepower. I leaned towards him, and then stood on tiptoe He looked towards the door of the tutoring class.

This is the helplessness of Chongqing’s summer. On this hot day when I can’t even buy raw eggs, I can’t think about anything. The kids went to enjoy a weekend of cool off.

Tongzi, Nanchuan, Fairy Mountain, after thinking about the crowded traffic and people during the holiday, I blacked out these names in my mind.
While walking and Baidu, I suddenly saw the big billboard at the entrance of the parking lot, "Shuangshuang Guiyang welcomes you, the high-speed rail only takes 2 hours", behind it is a green mountain and green water...
I stopped for a moment, isn't this the place I was looking for somewhere? It seems to have smelled the fresh air of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau coming through the screen! ! !

Guiyang Huaxi, Shili River Beach, Summer Resort

The climate is the most generous gift from heaven to Guiyang. The altitude is 1100 meters, and the average temperature in summer is only 23.2°C. It is indeed the enviable summer resort in Sichuan and Chongqing. It used to take 5 hours to drive, but now it only takes 2 hours. The high-speed rail can be reached.


The big destination is determined, so I want to find a rural place with better scenery to spend a cool weekend. The environment and air should be better. It is best to have some cultural attractions around to bring some spiritual nourishment to the children. , so Huaxi in Guiyang came into my sight like this.
With such a beautiful name, the scenery is of course not bad. With the Huaxi River as the link, covering the ten-mile river beach, the Confucian School, Yelang Valley, Wetland Park, and Qingyan Ancient Town are all located in this scenic belt. Here, the city's humanities It is perfectly integrated into the surrounding nature, escapes from the hustle and bustle, and is not boring. As a weekend summer resort, it is the best choice.

PS: Not only Chongqing, the Guiyang-Guangzhou high-speed railway in Guiyang also directly connects to Guilin, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong; the Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railway directly connects to Lijiang, Dali, Kunming, Changsha, Nanchang, Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places, greatly shortening the depth of national infrastructure In addition to the distance between time and space, Guiyang is far more than a simple weekend resort, and can be used as a base to explore the great mountains and rivers of the motherland.


Dacheng Jingshe, the perfect weekend parent-child habitat

To be honest, I have a difficulty in choosing, especially choosing things for my children, but when I searched for the hotel [Dacheng Jingshe] in the Huaxi area, the Confucianism it contains immediately made me lose everything. The reason for the entanglement is hidden in the mountains but visible in the city. The destination of Huaxi has also become more exciting because of this hotel.

【Dacheng Jingshe】
What is called Jingshe originally refers to the society of Confucian lectures, and who can be called a great success. Mencius said in "Mencius Ten Thousand Chapters": "Confucius collects the way of the sages, and he is also the one who achieves his own holiness."
So my understanding of Dacheng Jingshe is that this is the place where Confucianism lectures and talks about Taoism, and the fact is the same. The hotel is close to the Confucian School, so it is naturally full of bookishness. Every year, Confucianists are invited to live and study here. It is really in the southwest region, the first of its kind to study folk Confucianism.
There are not only discussions on Taoism above the temple, but also the enlightenment of the "six arts" of Confucianism for children.

If you don't study 'poetry', you can't speak;
If you don't learn 'rituals', you can't stand up.
The child is 6 years old, it is time for him to get in touch with Confucian culture, and this Dacheng Jingshe is the beginning of a profound experience.

On Saturday morning, I took the high-speed train from Chongqing to Guiyang. The temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, and even my breathing became smoother. I called a car and drove to the back garden of Guiyang City - Huaxi Shili River Beach. Although I have seen many photos of the hotel on the Internet, when I arrived at Dacheng Jingshe, I was stunned by the sight in front of me. Surrounded by mountains, there are several independent buildings. The so-called "there is a city in the mountains". This is what it looks like now.
I booked such a unique "mountain residence" for more than 400 yuan, and I couldn't help but put a smile on my mouth. This weekend trip is worth it.

Regardless of how much this Confucian culture can be absorbed, at least the fresh air will not be inhaled. Sen takes a breath, and the fatigued mood of the journey disappears instantly, and he officially devotes himself to this busy weekend vacation.

The gate of the hotel is quaint, but it does not lose its grandeur. This is the so-called cleverness and clumsiness. It is very popular with straight engineering men. The wooden beams in the hall are like pillars supporting the universe. I have confirmed the eyes. It is the STYLE of our Han dynasty.

In addition to the atmosphere, some small scenes also reveal softness, attracting female fans on the other side.

After a short stop, the hotel staff began to warmly guide us to the front desk to check in, upgraded us to a suite for free, got the room card, and arranged for the hotel's robot to take us to the room and press the elevator automatically. Automatically avoiding obstacles, the child thinks it is very strange, making 81 difficulties along the way, I carry the box around, I am afraid that the child will damage the machine, and I am afraid that the machine will hurt people, but worrying is unnecessary, this "trash can" is smart Very, all kinds of dexterous dodges, even better than Sun Monkey.

When we arrived at the room, when we opened the door, we saw a screen, with a wooden rockery standing in the middle, which made people look forward to the scenery behind, um, good impression +5.

Behind the screen is the reception room. On the big tatami mats are tea seats and desks. The Chinese-style warm colors are also very pleasing. I have always thought that my future home can have such a decoration, but I didn’t expect to experience it here first.

When the curtains are opened, the floor-to-ceiling windows are well lit and well integrated into the scenery outside the window, which is delightful. Coupled with the meticulous enthusiasm of the front desk staff, the first impression of Dacheng Jingshe is very good, both internal and external!

Open the curtains, and the bright reception room looks even better. Thanks to the lady at the front desk for upgrading our room.

A table that looks good but I don’t know what it does. There are some Confucian classics on it.

The bedroom is also spacious enough. A 2-meter double bed is "lonely" placed in the middle, four pillows, cotton pillows, and eiderdown quilts, which feel good to the touch. The mattress is moderately soft and hard, and the support for the waist is just right, making it easy for insomnia The provided me a good night's sleep.

Behind the bedroom is a washroom, a collection of toilets and showers, and a large bathtub. For children, how can a wonderful summer be without water? At this moment, I regret that I didn’t prepare water for him. toys.

On the washstand, all kinds of toiletries are available. On the left side are hand towels, moisturizers and hand sanitizers, and on the right side is a storage tray, which contains toothbrushes, combs, shower caps, and shaver sets. Everything is very good, and the preparations are complete. No wonder Dacheng Jingshe can get the highest score among hotels in Huaxi District. It has its own reasons.

While I was taking pictures of the hotel, the children had already started to play with the novelty tea table and book table, playing the building block game they invented

Don't dare to tell him where the ink is now, otherwise, when we check out, the father will have to pay a huge sum of money for the cleaning fee. We will go downstairs to do the experience of writing calligraphy.

Put your luggage away, and reluctantly say goodbye to this beautiful room. There are more wonderful things waiting for us in the downstairs lobby experience area, and we can't wait.

Learning "crafts" at Dacheng Jingshe

When we checked in, the front desk not only upgraded the room type for us, but also gave us three "Tongbao scrolls" with the room card. With these three Tongbao scrolls, we can experience three small ancient cultural handicrafts for free.

However, for most of the guests, the first thing to do after entering the abode is to change clothes. Various styles of Hanfu have been prepared here for you to choose.

Not only clothes, but also all kinds of props are complete. It is also a pleasure for the whole family to change into a set, take a daily photo and send it to Moments

We spent the first trial volume on calligraphy, the quintessence of China. Diandian has been naughty and active since he was a child, but he is willing to calm down and try it slowly for this rather new thing.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he will find a path of interest that he can stick to right away. I only hope that he can find fun in this matter, which can be used to pass those boring times and have multiple choices between ipad and toys. , I just hurriedly recorded his first time with a camera. Fortunately, I won a victory in the Moments Posting Baby Contest, and let the teacher see that our parents did not relax their education for their children during the holidays.

After writing the words, the Wenping next to it is free for free. Go, chess, checkers, flying chess, chess, all kinds of chess are well prepared, and you can enlighten them one by one, but he didn’t expect that what he is most interested in is actually This black-and-white hand-talk, this understanding is a bit profound!
You must know that Go is very difficult and the changes are complicated. There are 361 points on the board, so the possible changes are 3 to the 361 power, far exceeding any other game.
In addition, the difference between Go and other chess games is the philosophical thought endowed by the Chinese.
Black and white symbolize yin and yang, 360 chess pieces symbolize 360 ​​degrees of the sky, and the center point is called "Tianyuan", which symbolizes the beginning of all things. All chess pieces are equal in status. Moving the whole body requires overall coordination and overall decision-making.

Although it is not easy to learn, it is easy to get started. With a little introduction to the rules, you can play chess with adults. Take pictures of all these for the first time, gather together nine pictures, and give my wife an explanation.

After playing Go, let’s try chess again. The degree of difficulty drops sharply. The queen eats the chariot, and the chariot eats the soldiers. Such an intuitive outcome seems to be more to the children’s appetite, and every step has a sense of accomplishment.

After playing chess for more than an hour, my mouth was dry, and there were all kinds of famous tea next to me to taste. There are special tea masters sitting in the town. If you need to teach tea art, you need to spend a "Tongbao" roll, but you can discuss it for free. It doesn't matter much if you drink tea.

However, the child's heart is still more interested in the tea pets next to him. These small ornaments and toys are favorites of tea lovers. They look small, but they are actually very valuable.

After drinking tea, we went back to the experience area. This time, we had to spend "Tong Bao" rolls to draw Peking Opera masks. Each roll could get a white mask and a plate of paint. There were various simple drawing methods of facial makeup on the table. , children can choose their favorite characters to compare and draw, first draw outlines with pencils, and then color them with watercolors. This is a good opportunity for children to hone their minds.

There are quite a lot of choices. I got the mask and looked around first. I wanted to do graffiti at will, but I saw that the lady next door painted really well, so I felt a lot of pressure.

In the end, I chose the most familiar Zhang Fei as the template for my own creation. In Peking Opera, in order to express the character and characteristics of the characters, there are four types of facial makeup: Sheng, Dan, Jing, and Ugly. There are different types of facial makeup, painting methods and usages. Ink varies. Zhang Fei belongs to the "Wu Sheng", and his facial makeup is simple, which can be completed with a little ink painting.

It looks like a painting with teeth and claws, but the final effect is still good, at least I can see the ferocity of Zhang Fei

Wearing it on the head, I began to dance triumphantly, quite complacent about my work.

I patiently spent 2 hours to experience several projects. The child couldn’t sit still anymore. It’s time to take him around. Next to the experience center is a library with an abstract design, all wooden The structure is warm yellow and has four floors. From every angle, there is a different scenery. If it is placed in the city center, it is a proper check-in point for Internet celebrities. Every day, beautiful girls come here with books. Punching in and taking selfies, and hiding in the Dacheng Abbey in Huaxi, it is temporarily our father and son's exclusive enjoyment, happiness.

This winding road symbolizes the difficulty of climbing Book Mountain. There are no shortcuts, no elevators, and only persistence can reach the top. I quite like this design.

The hotel is built along the mountain. From the other end of the library, there is a beautiful bamboo forest path. It can be seen that the owner of the hotel is a person with self-cultivation and pursuit. People who love bamboo have good taste and wear Hanfu is very suitable for taking pictures on this bamboo forest path, especially photogenic.

After returning from the thatched cottage, we continued to join the army of handicrafts. This time we experienced paper-cutting, which is also an important intangible cultural heritage of our country and is worthy of inheritance.

Paper-cutting is both destructive and creative, so it is quite popular among children. They use scissors instead of pens to cut out what they see and think.

Although it is also the first time to operate, according to the teacher's plan, a kite will appear on the paper in just a few minutes, and the image is vivid, which is quite surprising.

After cutting the paper, we came to the pottery museum again, and used the last "Tongbao" scroll here. Guizhou is the birthplace of Yazhou pottery. This kind of natural, simple and bright-colored pottery craft is also unique in the country. Today I am fortunate to be able to experience the making of Yazhou pottery at Dacheng Jingshe.

The pottery master first found the clay embryo for us, and then put it in the center of the turntable of the potter's wheel, and then taught the children to shape their own porcelain. Seeing that the master's operation is quite simple, it will be a plate for a while, and a plate for a while. The bowl, in fact, is not the same thing in our hands, and the artwork turns back to a mud embryo in an instant.

Well, I don't give up, I keep trying

Finally, after many failed lessons, the mud embryo was almost dried up, and the child finally made a small bowl of his own, cut it out, and the boss would bake it for us and send it back to us.

In the small room to be fired, there are many good friends of the son. I really admire the master's ingenuity.

Next to the pottery experience, there is also an ancient papermaking experience, which is not particularly interesting, and you can try it if you have a strange picture

After experiencing a few projects, the afternoon passed, and I felt hungry. It was time to find a place to eat. There are several restaurants in the hotel, but our father and son just settled down and sat down in the scattered area , casually ordered a few rural snacks, looking around, I feel that this restaurant is also quite ancient. The pillars are pasted with "The Analects of Confucius Xiangdang" "Babushi", telling the truth of eating 3000 years ago.
"Never get tired of fine food, never get tired of fine meat. When you eat meat, you don't eat it. If you eat fish, you lose your meat. You don't eat it. If you look bad, you don't eat it. If you smell bad, you don't eat it. If you lose cooking, you don't eat it. When you don't cut it right, you don't eat it. Eat. Don’t get the sauce, don’t eat. Although there is a lot of meat, it doesn’t make Sheng eat angry. But there is no limit to wine, so don’t mess up. Buy wine and sell dried meat, don’t eat. Don’t sprinkle ginger and eat, don’t eat too much.”

The chicken soup is served in clay pots, and it needs to be savored one by one like drinking tea. This ancient dining method seems to be particularly delicious.

I also ordered a snack of egg fried glutinous rice cakes, which tastes very good. The sesame powder is ground with water, and the taste is sweet and crisp.

In addition, there is a fried meat with Pleurotus eryngii mushrooms and meatballs with iced vegetables. Both the tableware and the dishes are really appetizing.

After a full stomach, I took a walk in the public area while there was still some light. The air was just right, and the dim light of the hotel looked particularly beautiful in the cool evening. There were no noisy crowds, as if this place was specially designed for my father and son. The same as the one built, giving people a special sense of satisfaction

I spend too much time playing indoors with my children during the day, and at this moment, it is the son who should accompany his father to walk around. The older I get, the more I like this Chinese classical beauty, hidden mountains and waters, exquisite Elegant yet majestic

Everywhere is a small scene, which is perfectly integrated into the big scene in front of you. Walking is watching the scenery.

After returning to the room, we encountered a very warm scene. The housekeeper on the floor had already put two glasses of milk on our bedside. He was already full of affection for this Dacheng Jingshe, and now he was even more reluctant to leave.

Guiyang Intestine Wang Noodles and Huaxi Beef Noodles


Oxygen-enriched sleep always makes people feel refreshed. After waking up, I rushed to the breakfast room hungry. The breakfast is a buffet. Not only does it have a rich Chinese and Western buffet like other hotels, but there is also an additional noodle corner for guests. We provide the two most characteristic snacks in Guiyang - Beef Noodles and Changwang Noodles.

Beef noodles originated in the Huaxi area of ​​Guiyang where we live. It is a famous snack in Guizhou that has entered the national market. You must try it. The meat slices are top-quality yellow cattle, and the soup is made from beef bones. The soup is delicious. tender. With smooth steamed rice noodles and appetizing pickled cabbage, children are full of praise after eating it.

The other dish is Changwang Noodles, which is very popular. I waited in line at the stall to watch the chef cook. He held chopsticks in one hand and a colander in the other. He went down first, stirred with chopsticks, watched the timing, and scooped it up with his right hand. On the noodles, the blood and bean sprouts in the left hand are quickly blanched out, and put into a bowl.
Another master took it tacitly, put the sausage, red oil, and chopped green onion, and handed it over enthusiastically: "Sir, your sausage noodle, here is chili, you can put it yourself, it tastes better."
So I put a big spoon full, watched it melt in the water, and finally ate it in my mouth, very satisfied.

Go to the Confucian Academy to pay homage to the old master


The rain in Guiyang came and went quickly. After breakfast, the weather cleared up again. I called the hotel’s battery car at the front desk, which took us to the Confucius School 1 km away.

This is the largest Confucian school in the country. The area is really not small. In addition to the core buildings for tourists to learn and admire Confucian classics, there are also research institutes and antique streets around it, attracting Confucian researchers from all over the country to study here. In the future, it will definitely become a small community for studying Confucianism and train teachers for Confucius Institutes all over the world.

At present, I also want to take the child to let him understand the sage of Confucius more visually, instead of just being limited to the stories of traveling around the world in books.

The battery car took us directly to the Lingxing Gate in front of the Confucian School. If you also like ancient culture, you will find this name very familiar. This is an archway-style wooden or stone building located on the central axis of each Confucian Temple. The ancient legend Lingxing It is a star in the sky, and this name means that Confucius descended to the earth for the stars in the sky, which symbolizes that the old master can be compared with the star in the sky who educates and educates talents.

Along the stone steps, there are Ritual Square, Dacheng Hall, Minglun Hall, Six Arts Academy, Xiangxian Temple, Yangming Temple, Kuiwen Pavilion, Xingtan and the 9.28-meter-high statue of Confucius.
You may be a little curious as to why Wang Yangming’s Confucianism can accommodate Wang Yangming’s Mind. In fact, Mind is also a development and branch of Confucianism, and Wang Yangming was also demoted to Longchang, Guizhou, and finally became a scholar in Longchang. The doctrine of "unity of knowledge and action".
So it makes sense for him to have a place in this Confucius Institute.

The main building complex of the Confucian School is backed by Dajiang Mountain and overlooks the Huaxi River. The 9.28-meter-high statue of Confucius is gentle and elegant, making a hand-to-hand salute with both hands.
When Confucius accepted the worship from the students, Confucius often used this etiquette to return the salute to the students. Later, this etiquette seems to have become Confucius' "patent". It has the meaning of "give way" and "give". Returning the gift to the students, the giving here is an expression of willingness to impart skills and knowledge to the students.

Unlike modern teachers, Confucius taught in a variety of ways. He did not assign homework, did not take exams, and did not punish students. Instead, he exchanged knowledge with his classmates, traveled around the world, gave lectures on the road, and learned about mountains, rivers, farmhouses, and villages along the way. , crops, his disciples followed him to understand the world, learned skills, and understood the principles of life.
In this era of knowledge explosion, people often seek skills to make a living, and forget the most fundamental "propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness".

Behind Confucius is the core building of the Confucian Academy - Dacheng Hall. In the Confucian Temple in Qufu, there is also such a building with the same name, which has the same function and is the central place for worshiping Confucius.
The difference is that the Dacheng Hall in Huaxi adopts the architectural style of the Han Dynasty, which is more solemn and solemn.

In the middle is a bronze seated statue of Confucius. In front of the statue are "four companions", namely Yan Hui, Zeng Shen, Zi Si and Mencius. On the left and right sides are the woodcut reliefs of the "Twelve Philosophers". From the east side are Minsun, Ran Geng, Ranyong, Zaiyu, Duanmuci, Ranqiu, and the west side are Zhongyou, Yanyan, Bushang, Zhuan Master Sun, You Ruo, and Zhu Xi.
Except for Zhu Xi who was the master of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, the other 11 people were all proud disciples of Confucius.
In the middle of the exhibition wall is "Li Yun Datong Chapter". There is also a famous sentence "Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself" on the side.
When encountering the god of Confucius, you must ask your children to worship. In the future, if you can save the trouble of being a father when you are studying, you will be thankful to the old master.

In the lobby, there are rituals and music from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as models of chime bells, zithers, and stone chimes.

Coming down from the Confucian Academy, in summer, there is a large lotus blooming here, and you can bring your children to see the lotus.

Qingyan ancient town, blue tiles and stone walls, simple and vicissitudes


After lunch, it’s a 20-minute drive from Dacheng Jingshe to reach Qingyan Ancient Town. This is the place where my wife and I have swam twice. Now that we bring our children, the mood is quite different. The stone slabs in the ancient town are smooth. Round, the walls of the stone houses are already covered with moss and plants. I like this ancient town, and it may be due to the word Qingyan, which is quite close and simple when I read it.
Although it is not one of the largest ancient towns in China that have been circulated in the rivers and lakes, the area of ​​Qingyan Ancient Town is not small at all. Looking down from a height, the gray and green tile-roofed houses are hidden in the green hills, and it seems to be integrated with nature. , with the hardness and firmness of stone.

There are bluestone roads in all directions and winding and narrow alleys. The greatest pleasure for children to stroll among them should be to search for the small shops selling toys, but you can't ask him too much. Gufeng is also worth the trip.

Qingyan Ancient Town was formed in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and has been in the Ming and Qing dynasties for more than 600 years. The building is close to the mountain, and the city wall is built on the cliff with huge stones. There are four gates in the east, west, south and north. We entered the city from the south gate - "Dingguangmen". Looking from a distance, there are three words "Dingguangmen" written on the gate of the city.

On the surface, the residential buildings in Qingyan Ancient Town do not appear to be significantly different from other Ming and Qing buildings, with blue tiles and stone walls, simple and vicissitudes, but upon careful observation, they have their own very distinctive personality and regional characteristics. Guizhou There has always been a saying that "the sky is never sunny for three days". Rain is a common occurrence, and it must not delay business. Therefore, after repeated practice and accumulation by shrewd businessmen, the typical dwellings in Qingyan Town came into being. Residential houses whose facades are used as shops generally look taller. The first layer of eaves alone cannot withstand the wind and rain, not to mention the windy mountain rain, but you can’t close the door and stop doing business, right? , and a double eaves are added to protect the counter well, so that no matter how heavy the rain is, it will not be afraid.

The double eaves are like human eyebrows and eyelashes, tightly protecting the eyes.

In the ancient town, exquisitely designed and exquisitely crafted Ming and Qing ancient buildings are densely intertwined, temples, pavilions, painted pillars and carved beams. One of my favorite places is the No. more important.

Zhao Yijiong is not only Guizhou, but also the first person in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to "win the world with the number one scholar". From then on, Guizhou people finally felt proud, and finally ended the history of no champion in the Ming and Qing Dynasties for five hundred years. They have four brothers, one champion, two Jinshi, and one Jingkui. This is not only rare in Qingyan, but also a miracle in Guiyang and even Guizhou province.

Zhao Yijiong, courtesy name Zhongying, was born in Qingyan in the seventh year of Xianfeng (1857). He entered Junxiang at the age of 18. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 23. He went to Beijing at the age of 30 to be a Jinshi in the imperial examination. One, and was appointed as the editor of the Imperial Academy. At the age of 32, he served as the chief examiner of the Sichuan Provincial Examination as an editor. At the age of 35, he served as the admiral of Guangxi Xuezheng. At the age of 39, he served as the examiner of Shuntian. At the age of forty-four, his mother died of illness. Zhao Yijiong returned to Qingyan on the grounds of filial piety. After three years, he returned to Beijing to work. He resigned soon and returned to his hometown to give lectures at Qingyan Academy.

Here, let the children get a taste of Zhao Zhuangyuan's talent, and it will be smoother on the way to school in the future.

In Qingyan Ancient Town, in addition to the famous Zhuangyuan Mansion, there are many famous old houses, such as: Longevity Palace, Shoufu Temple, Longquan Temple, Catholic Church, Stone Archway, Wenchang Pavilion, Ciyun Temple, Longevity Palace, Yingxiang Temple Wait, the list goes on and on.
Here, what surprises outsiders is that in addition to many temples, there are still a Christian church and a Catholic church in the town.

That is to say, there are Buddhists and Taoists in the town, as well as Catholicism and Christianity. It is impossible to know how such a phenomenon of "coexistence of four religions" has been preserved in the long river of history. But according to the people in the town, the incense in the temple will not be cut off on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and there is an endless stream of people attending church on Sundays. Four religions coexist in one town, each recites its own scriptures, and lives in peace, which is also a unique landscape.

Strolling into an alley called "Back Street", I immediately feel a strong distance between time and space. The road paved with bluestone slabs and the wall made of bluestone slabs seem to be a space-time tunnel made of slate.

The development of karst landform in Guiyang is very typical, with layers of rocks piled up, and the sudden protrusions are mountains. There are as many mountains as there are stones, and the stones are thick and thin, and they are layered one by one, which is extremely convenient to use. Therefore, many dwellings use stone tiles as tiles and stone walls. The big stone house is connected with the small stone house, and it is a piece of green, which is also a very special scenery in Qingyan.

In most cases, the stone walls on the back of the street are mostly cube-shaped stones piled up to form the wall, and then the piles on the top are not so regular. Some stone walls grow vines and sporadic stone moss, which moisten the stone wall. It also shows us the traces of the years.

When visiting Qingyan, in addition to the architecture, you can't miss the food and snacks here, which abound.
The raw materials used are actually not complicated and special, just some home-made whole grains, meat and meat.
Among them, the more famous ones are: tofu fruit, roasted trotters, bacon, sausage, chicken spicy horn and so on. There are many names and varieties, and they are nutritious and never tire of eating.

Most of the restaurants in the town sell stewed trotters, and they are also the most conspicuous. It is said that this trotter is also related to the number one scholar Zhao Yijiong. , As a result, Zhao Yijiong was named on the Gold List, the number one scholar in high school. Therefore, Qingyan people also call braised pig's feet "the number one scholar's feet".
The bright red pig's trotters are indeed quite festive, but unfortunately, my son is not as fond of greasy food as his father, so I can only give up and feast my eyes.

Bluestone roads and winding narrow alleys, ancient stone counters and wooden counters lined up on both sides, finely carved small lattices between doors and windows, upside-down stone lions on stone workshops...

Because I am walking slowly with my children, this tour is also a quick trip. However, Qingyan's quiet, peaceful, simple, and rich ancient town style is still very gratifying. The night gradually deepened, and the whole Qingyan Ancient Town became hazy.

Go out from the east gate of the ancient town, go back to the hotel to pick up the luggage, rush all the way to the train station, and take the last high-speed train back to Chongqing.


conclusion

With the prosperity of the country, the development of the economy, the enhancement of national pride, the ancient culture is slowly recovering, let the child understand the origin of Chinese civilization in the process of growing up, and get in touch with some Confucianism, which will make his personality more complete
Leaving aside the great ambition of "governing the country and bringing peace to the world", at least it is the small ideal of "self-cultivation and family harmony". Start with yourself, start with small things right now, and become an upright person. The Confucius School in Huaxi, Guiyang is one of them. It is a good opportunity to educate us, let us get to know the great thinker 3000 years ago.
