Walking into Higgins Road

As soon as you walk into Higgins Road, you feel like you have become a puppet and are led by it. This alley, it leads you. Jinan used to have a saying: "donggeng Road, xigeng Road, Wangfu chizi Erlang Temple", which refers to the four streets in the old city of Jinan. Among them, "donggeng road and xigeng road" refers to the two streets on the East and west sides of Zhenzhu spring.

Xigengdao street is next to the Pearl Spring courtyard, which has been the official residence for generations. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zeng Gongqi's residence was near BaiHuaZhou. At the end of Jin Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, it was the residence of Zhang Rong, marshal of Shandong Province and Bingma capital. Later, Zhu Jianhong, king of Ming Dynasty, built his mansion here, and the governor's office of Qing Dynasty was also here.

Xigengdao street is clean and tidy. Some of the stones on the road are polished. It seems that last year's age is not small. It is said that watchmen used to walk here in the old days, so they got their name. So, when you are led and walked, and you feel that you can't get to the head, as if there is no head there at all, think of a short good old man, who is carrying a red and warm lantern and proclaims in his mouth: "it's safe" or "be careful with the candle" Pull a long sound, leisurely. The appearance of the alley is very refreshing and comfortable, with white walls, bluestone pavement, houses on both sides, black gates in a stream, small broken black tile roofs, and green corrugated grass on them.

Every family pastes bright couplets. No matter how small the door is, there are also many couplets, such as the door heart, the door hairpin and couplets. Some people still stick a word "Fu" on the white walls on both sides of the couplet, which is very gratifying.

There is a beautiful screen wall in the gate, which is painted with lotus leaves, pink and green; there is also a glimpse of real potted flowers and plants, or hanging high and low under the eaves, living in harmony with birdcage clothes and shelves; the flowers are unreasonable and unfeeling, just like the girls strolling along the street, a little absent-minded and full-grown In the courtyard, there are springs, famous ones and nameless ones.

Walking in, you can see the famous people in Jinan in history. It's a section of wall on which the famous people born in Jinan are painted. They are Li Qingzhao and Xin Qiji. They are all portraits in textbooks. They should be gentle and elegant, and they should be cynical and cynical.

In this narrow street, there are some narrower alleys, which are like chicken intestines. If they are not residents here, they will not find their own homes. Wandering in these alleys makes people feel that xigengdao street is really interesting.
