I have been looking forward to this for a long, long time.
On October 2, my father and I went to visit Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. To talk about three lanes and seven lanes, it refers to three lanes and seven lanes. What is an alley? That is, the passages between houses are narrower than streets. Some places are called alleys, and they are also called "alleys" in Fuzhou. What is a square? Fang is a residential area for people.
"Three Lanes and Seven Alleys" is a traditional neighborhood built with bright bricks and clear tiles, located in the center of the ancient city of Fuzhou. It borders South Street to the east, Tonghu Road to the west, Jipi Road (lane) and Guanglufang to the south, and Yangqiao Road (lane) to the north. It has always been a residential area where Fuzhou officials, gentry, wealthy people and intellectuals concentrated. The three lanes from north to south are: Yijin Lane, Wenru Lane, and Guanglu Lane. The seven lanes are Yangqiao Lane, Lang Lane, Ta Lane, Huang Lane, Anmin Lane, Gong Lane, and Jipi Lane. .
We first came to Langguan Lane. As soon as I entered the alley, I saw the door sign saying: Langguan Lane. Arrive at No. 20, Langguan Lane: Yan Fu’s former residence. After entering the door, I first went to the introduction room of Yan Fu's life and looked at the pictures with relish. Dad came and said, "Let's go see something else." So, we went to the back garden of Yan Fu's former residence. There is a small willow tree there, with birds singing on the branches, and morning glory blooming on the ground, which is full of life and very endearing. There is a well on the cement floor, a stone mill, a flower door at the entrance of the room, and the windows are also flower windows. People in it feel like they have returned to ancient times.
Later we came to Anmin Lane. There is another story in Anmin Lane. In the past, when foreign countries (China was divided into many countries in ancient times) invaded the vicinity of our country, the people were extremely afraid. Therefore, a foreign soldier posted a notice to calm the people at the entrance of this alley: People, don't be afraid, we will not hurt you. Only then did the people feel relieved. Therefore, later generations named it Anmin Lane.
Then we prepared to go to Tower Lane. To get to Tower Alley, we had to pass through a very winding road, so that I couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
At this time, there was a sudden downpour, which extinguished my dream of going to other streets and alleys.
This is really an interesting trip
