In the ancient city of Jianshui, Honghe, I lived in simple living with rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, just to wait and meet.

The journey is all the way forward, through those encounters along the way, whether it is wind and rain or scenery, whether it is ordinary or extraordinary, one by one, one by one, summed up as experiences and visions. This is the happiest thing, and so is Jianshui.

There is no noise, no disturbance, no noise, only quiet, simple, simple, ancient doors and windows, accompanied by faded wood paint, shaking off stories; Quiet old man, sitting in the alley, waiting for endless waiting.

Passers-by, stroking blue bricks and tiles, recalling the old appearance; Thousands of years of history, full of bits and pieces of this ancient street; In the long years, Tao is ruthless, but affectionate, letting time stay here and guarding the expectation of this Millennium.

Quiet stone roads, some faded old houses, all kinds of wooden barrels next to ancient wells, charcoal fires placed at the door of the house, hawkers, floating in long alleys with the long ancient rhyme of the town and waves of Jianshui dialect, this is a quiet town.

Old, tattered bricks and tiles are full of old-fashioned rice, oil and salt. When the smoke rises and walks into them, it's like walking into a painting, full of carefree eyes …

The old wall of the tower tells its story. The green plants on the wall have brought new life to this ancient city. Stepping on that piece of bluestone with traces of time, I can't help looking forward to crossing the fog of time and feeling the once prosperous ancient Lin 'an.

Distant mountains, dusk, ancient cities, and thousands of lights ... That feeling is that when you walk, you will encounter a prayer flag, an ancient pagoda, a temple, an ancient house, and a story that happened in a long time and space.

Shuttling through the ancient streets of Gu Xiang, the ancient rhyme is full of unspeakable warmth. Time seems to have taken a nap here, a beautiful story, growing old and reborn.

Yes! The slow time flows quietly here, and the charming scenery stops here in four seasons. Once we meet, we will never forget the beautiful face of Jianshui. Maybe you can pick up the time of walking in the ancient city slowly according to the optical axis of time. ......

Time Ran Ran, the years flowing, countless ancient incense and water, reading countless sentient beings. For thousands of years, tourists have been in an endless stream and in a hurry. Even if everyone here has read the dust, it will not shake the thick soil of Lin' an for thousands of years. The courtyards here are still deep and the walls are still there.

I hope that every place I go in the future will be like Jianshui, with both the refreshing wind in the mountains and the warm light of the ancient city. From morning till night, from the mountains to the study, there will be everywhere. I am not afraid of the waste of time and the long journey, as long as I can be like Lin 'an in the end.
