　　What is the flavor of the year on the trip? It’s a "Happy New Year" from the intersection of different dialects, a warm-hearted move from strangers, a sea of fireworks in the streets and lanes, and an authentic annual custom experience …
　　During the Spring Festival, my family and I drove back to our hometown of Xinzhou, and after visiting relatives and friends, we started a short trip to the ancient city of Xinzhou. During the journey, we were busy in the crowd, sensing the changes in our hometown and the temperature of our hometown people, and harvesting the long-lost flavor of the year.
　　Local cars are polite to foreign cars.
　　Showing "Shanxi temperature" between advance and retreat
　　As a well-known scenic spot in Shanxi, the passenger flow of Xinzhou ancient city during the Spring Festival holiday surged, and the demand for accommodation, catering and parking lots was in short supply, which not only tested the reception capacity of the ancient city, but also tested the hospitality of local people.
　　February 13th, the fourth day of the first lunar month. At about 17 o’clock, the reporter drove to the ancient city of Xinzhou and went to the parking lot at the south gate of the ancient city. The vehicles had already queued up. "You see, girl, there are so many foreign cars. The ancient city of Zhangzhou is really famous in the country. " Father said proudly. Sure enough, nearly half of the vehicles in the queue are foreign licenses, including many vehicles from Shaanxi, Henan, Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Sichuan.
　　The short-term influx of traffic in the evening is very dense. Although the parking lot has entered the state of "one person is hard to find" several times, the parking of vehicles has always been orderly. When I turned around, a scene of local cars giving way to foreign cars was being staged.
　　"Well, there are two parking spaces there. You stop first, and then we’ll find a parking space." Seeing that there were two parking spaces vacant ahead, Mr. Peng, who was driving a Xinzhou license car, warmly greeted the owners of Su-brand and Beijing-brand vehicles next to him, and drove the car into the parking space that was hard to wait for. The owners of the two foreign license plates were very touched and thanked them again and again. Mr. Peng’s eyes narrowed and he smiled. "You’re welcome. Happy New Year! Welcome to Zhangzhou! " "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! " This response from you to me seems to be like visiting relatives in the New Year. It is kind, natural, simple and warm.
　　"It is normal to be crowded in the New Year, but it is not easy for many foreigners to visit the ancient city of Xinzhou. Some of them may still have a tight schedule. If you stop early, you can play for a while, visit the ancient city, see the night view, taste the food and feel our New Year atmosphere in Xinzhou." After stopping the car, I had a short conversation with Mr. Peng, and the hearty and honest Shanxi people flowed between their words. "Far away are guests! We locals don’t care about this short time. Let’s play less today and come back another day. "
　　Courtesy to foreign cars, far away are guests, "Shanxi temperature" is highlighted here. This scene reminds me of a sentence: the beauty of adults can make us beautiful together. Isn’t this between the advance and retreat of parking a true portrayal of Shanxi people’s minds and patterns? Isn’t it one of the "most beautiful scenery" on the way for tourists to travel to Shanxi?
　　The performance of playing while the iron is hot is bursting with popularity.
　　Brilliant Interpretation of "Chinese Romance"
　　"There are thousands of trees in the east wind night, and the stars are like rain." This is a vivid description of the scene of beating iron flowers by Xin Qiji, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. Playing while the iron is hot is the oldest fireworks in China, and it is also a Millennium legacy. During the Spring Festival, the fireworks show in Xinzhou Ancient City attracted many tourists to watch, and people felt the authentic China Year among the sparks.
　　Walking into the ancient city of Xinzhou, passing through the brightly lit and crowded streets and ascending the stairs along the winding and secluded path, you come to the "stage" where the iron is spent-the tall and magnificent Yishige in the West Garden of the ancient city. As the time approached 19: 30, more and more people gathered in your Excellency Yishi. The scene was crowded and lively, and the tourist team could not see the end at a glance. Some people pick up their children and hold them high above their heads to seize the visual "commanding heights"; Some people stand on tiptoe, craning their necks to look at them; Some people are walking around with their mobile phones, looking for the best shooting spot … Everyone is waiting for this "different fireworks" in different postures.
　　Tie Hua is a folk cultural performance skill discovered by China ancient craftsmen in the process of casting utensils. It began in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has a history of more than a thousand years. While the iron is hot, flowers are mostly spread in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and Shanxi is one of the popular areas.
　　At 19: 30, accompanied by the music, the professional florist threw the molten iron at 1600℃ into the air. As the florist struck the molten iron in the air hard, thousands of sparks were scattered instantly, and it dripped down from Yishige like a waterfall, which was shocking and beautiful. In the next 15 minutes, the spectacular scene of colorful, flaming trees and silver flowers continued. One iron flower rose into the sky, and another one followed, and the rods were connected, as dazzling as the goddess scattered flowers and Venus flashing, which was amazing. "Wow!" Whenever a wave of iron flowers blooms in the night sky, people around them scream in unison.
　　"Lights in Shanxi, thousands of years. In this Chinese-style romance full of sparks, it seems that I have seen a glorious and splendid historical river and a prosperous chapter of thousands of years of lights. " Friends from the same industry shared this shocking performance in the circle of friends. I believe that this is his taste of the year, and it is also the common taste of many people; This is his voice, and it is also the common voice of many people.
