"Aluo, it's so boring to stay at home. Let's go out to play. You haven't taken me on a tour." An Chuyu talked and laughed with Yan Chenyu but felt very uncomfortable. He held Yan Chenyu's hand and came out together, and blocked Yun Luo in a pretty way.

"There is not enough time. I will participate in the school's Little Golden Man donation event tomorrow Saturday afternoon, so wait for the future." Yun Luo will show up with the leaders of Jiangnan University tomorrow, and donate the Little Golden Man, the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, to his alma mater. This makes both sides happy and can also bring positive reports to the star Siren.

"Just go to Wuzhen, it's very close. You haven't taken me to it before. You happened to go with Xiaoyu and Chunzi. Humph, Qingju didn't know that she has me, a sister recently, so she knew she was having fun at school, so she won't take her to play this time." An Chuyu obviously had planned it for a long time, and just took this opportunity to say it out.

Yun Luo thought about it, looked at Yan Chenyu's pure and elegant eyes, looked at An Chuyu's bright eyes that were very much anticipated, and nodded. Xiang Chu Junzi stood obediently behind Yun Luo, like the most exquisite little maid.

Lord Husky didn't know what was going to happen, so he pulled Yan Chenyu a solid silver dog chain and led him downstairs. Yan Chenyu felt that An Chuyu proposed to go to Wuzhen at this time, which was a demonstration and also declared sovereignty to her.

Wuzhen is one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. A flowing water runs through the entire town. It uses water as the street and the shore as the city. The houses and buildings on both sides are fully facing the river, forming a charming scenery of the water town. From time to time, there are black-sailed boats back and forth in the water; there are many shops on the shore and shouts of hawking.

The whole town is made of rivers, connected by bridges and streets, built houses along the river, deep houses, heavy ridges and high eaves, and river ports. The arcades cross the street, through bamboo and stone railings, and the river water pavilions are quaint and tranquil, showing a simplicity and tranquility. It is a typical small bridge, flowing water and houses in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yunluo and Xiangchu Junko walked together, holding Lord Husky, Yan Chenyu and An Chuyu walked in front in close contact with each other. Xiangchu Junko followed Yunluo, and Yunluo followed the pair of good friends in front of him, occasionally chatting with Xiangchu Junko and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Wuzhen. Lord Husky is a cute creature and has been photographed by many tourists.

Stone roads, ancient wooden houses, and the atmosphere of clear lakes seem to remind you of a kind of sentiment and atmosphere. This small river is called Dongshi River, which connects the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. The ancient houses on the other side of the river still live in the current people, so Wuzhen is a truly living ancient water town.

In Hongyuan Tai Dyeing Floor, Xiangchu Junzi walked by Yunluo in a beautiful way, but she didn't hold Yunluo's hand. The group walked into this ancient wooden door. Time seemed to have flowed back a hundred years, and it followed the tradition of front shop and back spinning. This is a courtyard and a place to dry cloth. The courtyard is tall and the bamboo poles are hanging like dozens of blue printed cloth prayer flags, which is spectacular.

Blue printed cloth is commonly known as lime combing cloth. Combing blue cloth is a traditional folk craft. It has a history of printing and dyeing for thousands of years. It is cheap and good. It has always been popular among the people. Its raw material, local cloth and dye are all from the countryside, and the crafts are from the folk. The patterns are full of rich local flavor. The themes are nothing more than flowers and plants. They are common next to farmhouses and ridges.

Intimate, natural, and fresh. In addition, the elegant and elegant blue and white colors have distinct folk and ethnic characteristics, and are unique in folk arts and crafts. In the past, every household in the rural areas of Jiangnan used blue printed cloth, curtains, headscarves, aprons, bags, quilts, tablecloths, etc., and many blue printed cloth products were exhibited in the blue printed cloth collection hall on the west side of the dyeing workshop.

The entire process is also manually operated, and the production process is very simple, but simple things can often better show the creator's aura and insight. In this workshop, you can personally observe and experience the hardships and fun of making blue printed cloth.

This is the exhibition hall. On the left is the earliest prototype of the blue printed cloth, the box, modern carving tools, modern printing tools, carving patterns, paintings, wooden barrels for mixing raw materials, and finally a knife for scraping.

Yan Chenyu and An Chuyu walked into the exhibition hall and watched and chatted everywhere. Yun Luo was very interested in the place where the two best friends could not see it. He gently pinched Xiang Chuchunzi's warm and soft little hands. In the middle windows, many clothes, fabrics, mosquito nets, headscarves and other items from the Ming and Qing dynasties were decorated.

The Qingming River During the River and Century Shanghai in the window are made of modern technology screen printing. They have won national competition awards and certificates. Compared with traditional handicrafts, the lines are more delicate.

To this day, the printing and dyeing of blue printed cloths still follows the craft left by their ancestors. From pattern design, flower-painting, flower-painting, flower-copying, dyeing, drying, etc., it has been loved by more and more people for its purely natural and pollution-free characteristics. At Hongyuan Tai Dyeing Factory, you can see the full process demonstration of these processes, and you can also bring some finished products of blue printed cloths to your store in the front home.

There is also a blue printed cloth raw material workshop opposite the door. Several old mothers are ginning cotton seeds, spinning yarns, and weaving cotton cloth. After watching the whole way, you will know how blue printed cloth is weaved and how fresh and cute patterns are printed. Here you can also see more tools for making blue printed cloth in the Ming and Qing dynasties and earlier.

For example, the valer plate mentioned in the ancient book "Eryi Records" is the oldest printing and dyeing tool. The first step in manufacturing blue printed cloth is weaving, the second step is copying, the third step is dyeing, and the fourth step is drying. After the four steps are all done, the fifth step is scraping, and a blue printed cloth is produced.

Yun Luo saw the exhibition hall and took Lord Husky to the husky next to the husky to visit the sizing and flowering process. This process is a very important step in making blue printed cloth. It is to use the pre-carved flower plate, place it flat on the white cloth with a slurry, and evenly brush up the up-adjusted lime powder and soybean powder.

Why do you need to apply these two kinds of powder? Because lime powder can prevent dyeing, which means that the place where the lime powder is copied cannot be dyed. Soybean powder has strong stickiness and can firmly fix the lime powder to the cloth.

As soon as I entered the dyeing workshop, a burnt smell came to my face. Under this large dyeing kiln, the rice husks were burned with dark fire to keep the dyeing kiln at a certain temperature. The leaves of isatis roots can be used to cure colds.

After the color is dyed, put it in the sun and dry it, then use a scraper to scrape off the soybean powder. The areas where there is pulp are white, while the other places are blue. This is how the blue printed cloth is made.

This blue printed cloth is pollution-free and very environmentally friendly. Its raw materials are native cloth raw materials. The dyed grass comes from the countryside and the craft comes from the folk. In addition, the color is simple. The blue background is pure, the white background is simple, delicate but not blind, and has distinct folk and ethnic characteristics.

The pieces are often exuding nature and intimacy. This is because of the simplicity and purity of the blue printed cloth, which makes it always unique in folk craftsmanship. In the middle of this dyeing kiln, there is a bamboo that is hollow, which is a chimney. In this dyeing workshop, there is a piece of red paper pasted on the pillars and chimneys. This is auspicious paper, with a portrait of the two immortals of plum and gourd.

...

Yan Chenyu and An Chuyu were chatting with blue printed cloth softly and beautifully. The atmosphere seemed to be good, but Yunluo and Xiangchu Junko became savory. The little maid gently touched Yunluo with her shoulders, charming and soft: "Master, they are fighting."

Yunluo knew that Gui knew, but how could he dare to interfere in the confrontation between his two girlfriends? Anyway, there was no showdown, so he was not afraid that they would quarrel. Three women, one man and one dog walked out of Hongyuan Tai Dyeing House. As the crowded tourists on the East Street slowly moved forward, the red mouse Tangtang was lazy and unwilling to come out, and when the Youyuan Tea Bar was about to be sent, Tangtang ran away.

Many of the windows of Wuzhen houses are unique to the Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, the windows are sealed with oyster shells. This translucent oyster shell window has excellent properties such as fire and windproof. Some wealthy families' doors are even glued with brick powder and glutinous rice juice. They are not only firm but also fireproof, and are still intact for hundreds of years...

There is a Wuqing Water Dragon Club next to Jixianfang, which is actually the Dongzha Fire Department. Since most of the towns are wooden buildings, a fire often affects the entire street and villages. Therefore, Wuzhen has focused on fire prevention since its construction.

On the upper part of the ancient building, you can see the abrupt brick walls rising above the roof and increasing along the slope of the house. There are no doors and windows. It is called Guanyin Pull locally. It not only effectively blocks the spread of fire, but also blocks the wind. It looks like the five mountains facing the sky, symmetrical left and right, steep and dangerous. Its beautiful curve adds charm to the ancient town, perfectly integrating function and art.

In addition to many measures, what is even more rare is that residents have a forward-looking awareness of combining prevention and fire. Each of the two towns of Wuqing towns collects funds and volunteers to participate, and establishes an organization with clear division of labor. This is the Wuqing Water Dragon Association. The Water Dragon Association is where water dragons are placed, and the division of labor includes a dragon head, gongs, carrying dragons, carrying water, etc. They usually work on their own, and they run to the dragon's place when encountering disasters, and each performs their own duties and dispatches to fight.

The Dragon Institute has various water dragons and fire extinguishing equipment built-in. Today, the gate of the Wuqing Water Dragon Association is closed, so tourists can only see the ancient fire extinguishing tools inside outside the fence.

...

The houses in the ancient towns in Jiangnan are all built along the river and along the stream. On the side near the water, some wooden or stone pillars are often used to hit the riverbed. The beams are mounted and wooden boards are placed. They are called the Water Pavilion, which is what people call the river.

Wuzhen has preserved small bridges, flowing water, and poetic patterns. The town’s houses are basically built by the Banghe River and pavilions are built next to the river. Part of the house extends to the surface of the river. Wooden stakes or stone pillars below the building go deep into the depths of the riverbed, playing a supporting role, while the other half is built on the street, so people call it the water pavilion.

Yan Chenyu gently pushed out a window frame to appreciate the green lake water, thinking that this family opened their doors in the past and could do business and treat customers. This is indeed a unique wonder of Wuzhen. The residents of Wuzhen have lived by the water for generations and played by the water. It is truly a painting of the river. It is a beautiful painting of the Jiangnan water town!

An Chuyu touched the dog head of Lord Husky, held Yun Luo's hand, and stood beside Yan Chenyu intentionally or unintentionally. However, Junko Kasumi was obedient and did not speak, but her bright eyes were blinking interestingly.

The house next to the water stretched out a few legs and stood in the flowing water. Looking at the small windows, my thoughts seemed to have returned to the past. Standing on the stone bridge, watching the flowing water, a few cruise ships roamed slowly in the river. With a sound of Enae, I drilled through the bridge hole and slowly left with the flow. A boatwoman held the oar and rowed, roamed and sang a glutinous boat song, which was a bit poetic and picturesque, and was pleasing to the eye.
