Hutong culture, Wang Zengqi, who has the full text? If there is, send it for me. Thank you very much. I need it urgently now.

hutong culture

—— Wang Zengqi

Beijing is like a big piece of tofu, square and square. There are streets and hutongs in the city. Streets and hutongs are due south and due north.

Due east and west. Beijingers have a strong sense of direction. In the past, rickshaws often shouted "East!" In every corner. "Go west!"

In case you hit a pedestrian. The old couple were sleeping, and the old lady asked the old man to squeeze her and said, "Go south." This is outside the city.

Rare. If the street is inclined, it is specially marked as inclined street, such as Dai Yan inclined street and Yangmeizhu inclined street. Street, Hutong, North

Beijing is cut into squares. This kind of founder not only influenced the lives of Beijingers, but also influenced their thoughts.

Hutong was originally Mongolian, which is said to mean well, but it is not known whether it is true or not. The names of hutongs come from various sources. Have a plenty of counting

There are, for example, three articles in Dongdan and forty or forty articles in Dongdan. Some of them used to be royal storage places, such as Piku Hutong and Xijinsi Hutong.

Place to put firewood), this alley has a plenty of famous people who used to live, such as the boundless adult alley, Shi Laoniang (old

Niang is a midwife) Hutong. Daya Bao Hutong was originally named Daya Ba Hutong, and there is probably a dumb bar in the Hutong. Wang Pi Hutong is

Because there is a cobbler named Wang. Hutong was originally named Wang Widow Hutong. Some are places where certain industries are concentrated. Handkerchief beard

Tong may be selling handkerchiefs. Mutton Hutong must have sold mutton at first, and some hutongs are just like its shape. Gao Yibo Hutongyuan

The famous Dog Tail Hutong. Mutton Yibin Hutong was originally named Yangwei Hutong. Probably because these two hutongs look a bit like sheep's tails,

Dog tail. Some hutongs don't know what it means, such as the Great Green Shamao Hutong.

Some hutongs are very wide, such as Dongzongbu Hutong and Tieshizi Hutong. Most of these hutongs are "doorways" on both sides. So far,

The house is still very tidy. Some hutongs are very small, such as Erduoyan Hutong. How many hutongs are there in Beijing? Beijingers say: famous

There are 3,600 hutongs and countless unknown hutongs. "Hutong" is usually mentioned, which refers to a small alley.

Hutong is a network that runs through the street. It's close to the city, so it's convenient to make a soy sauce and two pounds of eggs, but

It seems far away. There is no traffic here, it is always quiet. Occasionally, there is a "calling head" (like a pair of pliers)

Son, with an iron bar from the brush, and then let out a sound), grinding scissors to sharpen the knife's "Jing boudoir" (a dozen iron pieces are worn in a string,

The short flute played by the blind fortune teller (long gone) These sounds not only look quiet, but also pour

The alley seems quieter.

Hutong and quadrangle are integrated. There are many quadrangles connected on both sides of the hutong. Hutong and Siheyuan are citizens of Beijing.

Lifestyle is also the cultural form of Beijing citizens. We usually say that the civic culture in Beijing refers to the hutong culture.

Hutong culture is an important part of Beijing culture, even if it is not the main part.

Hutong culture is a closed culture. Most residents living in hutongs have moved to another place and are unwilling to move. You zai yi

A hutong has lived for decades, and some have even lived for several lifetimes. Most of the houses in the hutongs are very old and are "underground" houses.

The child is not very good, the old house is purlin and the brick wall is broken. When it rains, it is often heavy rain outdoors and light rain indoors. You can always hear it when it rains heavily.

The sound of the house collapsing, that's the house in the alley. But they don't want to "move their nest" and "the family is ruined and the family is ruined."

Siheyuan is a box. The ideal home for Beijingers is a single house. Beijingers are also very particular about "neighborhood feelings".

Distant relatives are better than close neighbors. Those who are "nearby" have to "follow" a little bit of "members" when they have family affairs, weddings and funerals,

It is impolite to say "happy" or "annoyed". But in ordinary days, there are not many things in the past, except that some neighbors are chess friends.

"kill" a plate; Some friends who drink want a "big jar" (in the past, Shanxi people opened a wine shop and put it on the jar without a table.

A round thick plate instead of a wine table) drinks two "pieces" (the two cups in a big wine jar are called "pieces"); Or bird friends,

2

In unison, everyone waved a birdcage and went to the Temple of Heaven, Chenggen and Yuyuantan to "greet the birds" (to greet the birds is to hang the birdcage in one place, which can not only make

Birds have learned to call each other and compete with each other. In addition, "everyone sweeps the snow in front of his house without worrying about frosting other people's tiles." "

Beijingers are easy to satisfy, and have low material requirements for life. If you have a steamed bread, you are satisfied. Big pickled radish is good.

Pickled radish, what else is there to say? Stinky tofu drops a few drops of sesame oil, and you can stay with your aunt. Boiled cabbage with shrimp skin, hey! I think

I know an old man who works in imperial academy. He served Lu Runku and waited for wine. He said, "There is nothing like the North.

Jing. Boiled cabbage in Beijing is also more delicious than other places, and all the five flavors are in Beijing. "What is the five flavors of god? I haven't been able to test it yet

Let's go But the Chinese cabbage culture of Beijingers is understandable. Beijing people eat Chinese cabbage all their lives, which is probably piled up.

It is as high as the White Pagoda in the North Sea.

Beijingers like to watch the fun, but they don't mind their own business. They always stay out of it and look on coldly. Beijing is a democratic movement.

Since the Republic of China, there have been many student movements. Beijingers call student movement "disturbing students". Student demonstration tour

Well, it's called a "passer-by" and it has nothing to do with them.

The essence of Beijing Hutong culture is "forbearance", contentment and resignation. Wang Lifa in Lao She's teahouse said, "I

It is the mentality of most Beijing citizens to be obedient to the people all their lives.

In my novel "The Sun in August", I wrote about the "Cultural Revolution", and there was such a dialogue:

"Have a composition? I have been a good citizen all my life and have never obeyed the law. At present, everything is out of order. I

Just like "falling on the loess" in front of you, you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. "

"You idle fucking this share. Does the grain store still sell stick noodles? "

"sell!"

"Still. Just stick noodles. ……"

A young man in our building hit the little girl who was driving the elevator on the mouth for something. We are all very angry. Why?

You can hit girls! I live in an alley with two elderly old Beijingers (they are "relocated households")

) said that everyone should uphold justice and let the young man apologize to the little girl in public. Two comrades said, "Tell him to apologize? door

No son! Bear with it! -'poor forbearance, rich forbearance, can't sleep! ""can't sleep "is so right.

Wonderful! Can't sleep, don't be agitated, don't worry, squint, Beijingers, it's good for you!

Hutongs in Beijing are in decline. Except for a few "zhaimen" still standing there, most of the houses in the folk houses have been

Very broken, some foundation columns have even sunk, and only half of them are still exposed on the ground. There are still some quadrangles outside the door.

The lost horse-tied stakes and mounted stones record the lost glory. There are boreholes that can't get out of the water, and stone chess with rounded edges and corners.

Board, for people to mourn. The west wind is still the same, the grass is falling off, and it is desolate and lifeless.

Looking at these pictures of hutongs, people can't help feeling nostalgic or even sad. But this is a helpless move.

Under the sweeping tide of commodity economy, hutong and hutong culture will disappear one day. Maybe it's like Xi 'an's frog tomb, South

Wuyi Lane in Beijing will retain one or two names, which will be disappointing.

Goodbye, Hutong.
