文化意识 文化鉴赏 People say the real culture of Beijing lies in the culture of hutong and siheyuan. How true it is! They give an understanding of the old lifestyle of ordinary Beijingers. If you want to
truly
(true) know the real life of Beijingers, a half-day hutong tour
is
(be) a good choice.
Starting during the Yuan Dynasty (1271—1
368), hutongs are narrow (狭窄的) streets. They are formed by lines of siheyuan,
and
at the centre of old neighbourhood life in Beijing.
The word “hutong” comes from Mongolian and means “water well”. People in ancient times dug a well and lived around it, so “water well” became the name of the
living
(live) area and then the name of the narrow streets. From the name of a hutong, you can guess its origin (起源). However, the meaning of hutong has
cultural
(culture) parts.
If the Forbidden City is
a
symbol of the Chinese royal (皇家的) family, then hutongs are the epitome (缩影) of the life of
millions
(million) of Beijing people. They are like museums of folk arts, showing the culture of Beijingers. Every hutong has its story
to tell
(tell). Neighbours in Beijing hutongs sit down and chat
over
a cup of tea, catching up with each other’s play, shopping, and conversation.
Many famous operas and dramas are based on the theme of “hutong life”. A visit to hutongs by day with a drama by the Beijing People’s Art Theatre in the evening will help you
better
(well) understand this basic part of life in Beijing. So don’t miss it.
