Beijing is like a big tofu, four square. There are streets and hutongs in the city. Streets, hutongs are due south due north, due east due west. Beijing people have a strong n of location. The rickshaws ud to shout "East!" at every turning. "To the west! To avoid bumping into pedestrians. The old couple sleep, the old woman suspected the old man crowded her, said, "you go to the south a little." This is rare in the field. If the street is inclined, it is specially marked as a inclined street, such as Yantou Inclined Street, Yangmei bamboo inclined Street. Streets, hutongs, cut Beijing into one square after another. This kind of fangzheng not only affects beijingers' life, but also their thoughts.

Some ud to be places where the royal family stored things, such as Piku Hutong and Xifengsi Hutong, where firewood and charcoal were stored. Some ud to be places where a famous person lived, such as Wuliang Master Hutong and Shilaunang H

Probably becau the two hutongs look a bit like sheep's tail or dog's tail. Some hutong do not know how to take the meaning, such as big green gauze hat hutong.
Some hutongs are very wide, such as East Total Cloth hutongs, Tieshizi Hutongs. Both sides of the hutongs are mostly "homesteads", and up to now the hous are quite tidy. Some hutong are small, such as Erduoyan Hutong. How many hutongs are there in Beijing? People in Beijing say: there are 3,600 famous hutong, and countless unknown hutong. Usually when referring to "hutong", most of them refer to small hutong.
Hutongs are networks that run through main streets. It is very clo to the downtown market. It is very convenient to get soy sauce or about two pounds of eggs, but it ems very far away. There's no traffic here. It's always quiet. Occasionally there is a razor pick "call head" like a large tweezers, with iron rod from the middle of the brush, then issued a miso sound, sharpening scissors sharpening knife "startled girl" more than a dozen iron pieces wear a string, shaking silence, fortune-telling blind now had no sound of blowing piccolo. Instead of being noisy, the noi made the alley even quieter.
Hutong and siheyuan are one body. On both sides of the hutong are a number of siheyuan connected. Hutong and siheyuan are not only the living style but also the cultural form of Beijing citizens. We usually say that the citizen culture of Beijing refers to the hutong culture. Hutong culture is an important part of Beijing's culture, if not the main one.
Hutong culture is a clod culture. Most of the residents living in hutongs are safe and are reluctant to move. Some have lived in the same hutong for decades, or even veral l
ifetimes. Most of the hous in the hutongs are old and the "ribs" hous are not good, such as old hous purlin and broken brick walls. Rainy days are often big outside, small inside. When it rains heavily, you can always hear the sound of hous falling down. They are hous in hutongs. But they do not want to "move nest son", -- "broken home value wan Guan".
Siheyuan is a box. The ideal home for Beijingers is "a single hou and courtyard". Beijingers are also very particular about "staying in the neighborhood". As a Chine saying goes, "it is better to have a clo neighbor than a distant relative." For tho who live in the neighborhood, they have to "follow" some "members" at weddings and funerals to express their happiness or annoyance. Otherwi, it is not "polite". But ordinary days, the past is not much, in addition to some neighbors are chess friends, "kill" a plate; There are some wine friends. When you go to the wine shops opened by Shanxi people in the past, there are no tables. Instead of drinking at the table, you put a thick plate shaped like a circle on the glass, which is called "one". Birds hang their cages together so that the birds can learn to sing and compete with each other. In addition, "eac
h one can sweep the snow at his own door, leaving the frost on the tiles of others".
Beijing people are easy to satisfy, they do not have high material requirements for life. If you have a wimp, you'll be satisfied. Pickled radish, that's good. Radish, what el is there to say. Stinky tofu drops a few drops of same oil, you can treat aunt. Shrimp skin with cabbage, hey! I know an old man who rved lu Runku and Wang Tuxu in the imperial College. He said, "There's nothing like Beijing. The boiled cabbage in Beijing is also better than elwhere -- the god of five tastes is in Beijing. What is the god of five flavors? I can't find out yet. But beijingers' cabbage culture is understandable. The amount of cabbage each beijinger eats in a lifetime is about as high as the White Pagoda of Beihai.
Beijingers love excitement, but don't mind their own business. They are always on the outside looking in. Beijing is the source of the democratic movement, since the "Republic of China", there have been student movements. Beijingers call the student movement "making trouble for students". Student demonstrations are called "cross students". It has nothing to do with them.
