慢下来,流连在古城的街巷

SLOWING DOWN AND WALKING IN THE ANCIENT CITY

淅浙沥沥的春雨过后，缠缠绵绵的雾霭笼罩着江北水乡。烟雨千年的运河流淌，造就了沿岸诸多商镇城市，也让台儿庄这个默默无名的村子成为地域商都、水陆码头。站在岁月边角，时光仿佛穿越千年，带人看尽历史沧桑。只一眼便思绪翻涌，那是来自内心的触动，沉睡的记忆被重新唤醒。这座硝烟散尽的古城，如今又重新焕发出生命活力。

The ancient canal has flowed through misty rains for thousands of years, and turned the silent village Taierzhuang into a regional merchant city and land-and-water wharf.The peaceful water labyrinth is the paradise of literati;the bustling and boisterous street shops are crowed by a large number of young people; in deep winding alleys, sit serene old men; while the bumpy earth road with mottled historic interest precipitates the heavy history and is awaiting the people searching for the past. Whenever the festival or temple fair comes, those genuine skills displayed there make you too busy to attend to all. Opposite to the old crafts and traditional performance, are the bars scattered everywhere.The freshness and fashion makes this place always popular and boisterously welcome.Absorbed in the black bricks and grey tiles, each one seems to have abandoned the anxiety and stress from the cities, and get really relaxed.Walking through them, you will finally understand that the life that we have been struggling for should be so easy simple.
