Woody Allen in the movie "Golden Age" has a classic line: "if you want to stay here, here is your present, and soon, you will start to imagine another era is your" golden age."”
Well, for Yangzhou, the Tang Dynasty, absolutely belongs to its golden age. In the Tang Dynasty, the most prosperous city, recognized as the first in Yangzhou, Chengdu second, so there is“Yang Yi Yi two”proverb."Yang Yi Yi two" was first seen in Sima Guang's "zizhitong ji": "Yangzhou Rich a world, when called "Yang Yi Yi two".”
Through a long stone bridge, set foot on a layer of stone steps, I came to Yangzhou datang City Ruins.
Of course, datang city here, far from datang city, here is just ruins.It is a commemoration of Yangzhou people for the Datang dynasty.It is said that the Tang Dynasty Yangzhou has two cities: Shu gang above the sub-city or tooth city, Shu gang below Luocheng or city.
The poet Du Mu“Yangzhou "Chant:" Street hanging thousands of Willow, Xia Ying two city."Tianbitai Pavilion, cool blowing clear.It is the portrayal of the two cities of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty.The city and the trees depend on each other, streets and clouds, you can imagine the beautiful environment and ecological balance of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty.Another literati in the "Yangzhou Dream" wrote: "Yangzhou, the resort also, every city to the evening, on the street, Zhu Cui fill pharyngod, if fairyland.It is also the impression of the two cities of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty.Where the lights, pearls, is simply heaven on Earth.
When I walked into datang city, it was on the right side of the blue sea flowers attracted by the trees.It is different from the sea of apricot flowers in the Han Guang Ling Wang Museum.The flowers here are bigger, more colorful, and more prosperous.It is the flower of Datang city.Datang City flowers, and the thin side of the West Lake flower taste is not the same, thin West Lake flower is a natural landscape, and Datang City flowers, in the Green Brick in the brown wooden house set off, let a person have a dream back to datang feeling.
Yes, standing in the sea of flowers under the trees, full of colorful garden.Here, there is no Dai yu buried flowers melancholy, but "Red is not ruthless, into spring mud more care flowers" chic.
At that moment, not only through the back of the Tang Dynasty, more through to the Jin Dynasty "Peach Garden" feeling. Datang City flowers are open, red, pink, white, and dry Vine, trees, gray tiles, side by side.I have wandered here, not willing to move.If the flower also has a soul, it will be happy.Because it was loved.
Gradually, as the sun went down, I climbed the tower view vision.At that moment, the sunset as a halo, everyone covered a circle, but also the Datang city also covered a circle.There is a feeling of people in Wonderland.

The wind blows and the flags of tangcheng on the city wall fly in the air.Leaning on the gray walls, enjoy the sunsets sprinkled on the face, gentle, warm.Aftertaste of the prosperous Tang dynasty in Yangzhou.Back then, Yangzhou was a city of poetry, a city of music, a city that never sleeps.
Mr. Yu Guangzhong, a Taiwanese poet, said that he had an unfinished wish, that is, to be able to the full moon on the night, next to the 24 Bridge, listening to the sound of Xiao Xiao, proof of the poetry of Du Mu.The history of Yangzhou Xiao, began in Du Mu "sent Yangzhou Han Chuo magistrate" a poem: "twenty-four Bridge Moon Night, where the Jade teach flute."What in the package" with all the public search Li Fang value does not meet, "also said:" the smell of Yangzhou, the old flute tour.""It is said that the twenty-four Bridge of Yangzhou, because there are twenty-four beauty blow here, it got its name.Since Du Mu, in Yangzhou flute or flute, it has become the visitors longing for the mood.Su Dongpo "Jinshan dream" has a poem: "The Night Tide to the wind and strong, lying flute tube to Yangzhou.”
Unfortunately, I have not heard, I passed from Yangzhou, and then have to go to Hangzhou.I missed the "Spring River Moonlight", but fell in thin West Lake Side heard a woman singing the song on the boat.Reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty songma chanting situation.

Go down the Datang city wall, with a level of stone staircase down.Datang city gradually away.
For Yangzhou, although the dream of the Tang dynasty is just a dream.The best golden age is gone, but fortunately, Yangzhou is still guarding his own taste and wind bone, it is thousands of years Yangzhou soil guarding the blood, attracted countless nostalgic people to this pursuit, pursue their own golden age.
For two people who are in love, there are people who are in love,and that is the Golden Age.
