Wind yesterday

Fifty years ago, Xi'an, the city is the city, is the walls of the city. Chu Liaocheng door is the countryside, rural. Sight of the edge of the cropland, villages, the smoke floating over the village, approached some firewood can smell gas, livestock manure and various rural-specific gas atmosphere. Is living in the walls of the city's "city people" outside the walls is countryman. Urban bias when in fact there is (or: never have), the city people to people outside the city called "township and stick", called "Jia-Wa." "Jia-baby" who put the city were called "hybrid." One would think, really carefully, how can the walls in a few authentic old Xi'an! To the railway station as the center, north along the railway line, south Jiefang Road, mostly came to be known as the "Dan peoples" of the Henan Province. The area west of the city, is home to some "not my breed" of Hui have. Complex, it seems true. Can be outside on the net yet? Since the beginning of the Chang Tang mix of all-inclusive, and who would say that his body is pure Qin flow of blood!
Rarely see water over the city when the city's well water is the addition of bitter salt water, there is the well water from the sweet to sell the livelihoods of the sale will have a water truck every morning. My childhood is listening to the sound of water tankers grew up selling. Was gradually installed in all lanes and public tap, often able to see that, under the water line of water residents take. A few people own water, its advantages of a home comparable to today's Cadillac, and is the envy and awe of! By the way, there is a car horn sound of carriage. And most of dung into the city to pull the carriage. At that time the city more toilets, and farmers mainly used for the manure, human waste is very popular. Farmers often sent for suburban streets toilet hygiene in return is a monopoly on public toilet stool. Farmers have no such privileges away from time to time in unawares pull shit, sometimes caught would argue, or even began. The city's urchins are often around to stir up trouble: "Jia baby feces a fight!"

Not many people in town. Beilin is the more original a few blocks around the gathering place for scholars, Bai Shulin, Three Studies Street, homes Lane, courtyards are mostly fine, a lot of small brick homes, and no shortage of small second floor. I remember the most is everyone has a considerable area of the yard, the yard also has a tree. Most of the two into the courtyard, and before and after the moon between the hospital door. Children often come to a closed courtyard is a day to play. At that time the parents seemed assured only know their own children with whom or in Which hospital on the line. Of wild boys, slightly larger point of the gang go out, and the place is nothing but the walls or under the Two River, are more dangerous activity. When dusk after work often shows the great people along the Chenggen shouting children, or tugging at the ear of a Chou Xiaozi pull toward home. One side is the big one face of anger, frustration and while a child crying. The result would be victory for the children. Continue to crazy, then Amoy, until a small leather monkey find themselves tired of new tricks.

4 Avenue was very narrow, especially in West Street and South Avenue. I remember most clearly is the summer season of South Jie Liangbian when the trees grew up almost arch together. A street on a green corridor. The argument is that by now: two lanes. One year I had to ride a bike from South Avenue, street cars parked car shelf, behind the thought of a car horn, no place to hide, the car went straight and crashed into the shelf as a result, passing from behind the vehicles will be one of my arm on the "clean" fracture of the!

We are all around Beilin door, Beilin also called "Confucius" is a scholar into worship Confucius place, near the "next Maling", "Yin Ma Chi" and is also the source of the names reportedly named. Maling said the next piece of the original monument, a letter: "with all the policy this dismounting" and then walk Ye Holy. Horses, on to the followers to drink, the drinking fountain became a pond to water the horses. This said, do not, I did not research too. But ours is the core of Beilin, but no doubt the Confucius Temple.

Old people say, Beilin has been a fire from a large, stone hall to the old wooden building completely burned, and rebuilt into the present brick structure. Moreover, many elderly people have said that when the saw the fire sprang from the fire, to a red fox!

- Is the fox to blame. At that time the city actually had a fox!
