"Drinking tea and eating melon seeds"
It is really not easy to survive the Peking Opera of the Republic of China
Three whips sound, entering and exiting, singing, reading, doing and beating , the gong and drum guy banged for a century as soon as he got busy.
During the great upheavals of the Republic of China, instead of being on the verge of extinction, Peking Opera blazed a trail and vigorously created the most glorious page in the history of Peking Opera, known as "Oriental Opera."
▲ The teahouse is at one end of the Republic of China Pavilion. It is common for families to walk in to rest and drink tea.
In the Republic of China Pavilion of Nanjing Museum, from 2 to 4 pm, there is a special performance of folk arts at old teahouse .
The old teahouse is divided into pool seats on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor, with red beams and traditional Eight Immortals tables, all of which are full of style.
▲ Sitting in the old teahouse, I often feel like I am dreaming back to the Republic of China.
The prices of tea and snacks here are also very affordable. The jasmine tea is only 10 yuan per person, and the tea has a refreshing fragrance.
There is a unique performance on the stage, and below the stage there are "tea waiters" wearing long gowns walking between the tea tables.
As I wandered away while drinking tea and chatting, I might think of Tan Xinpei 's tragedy, Mei Lanfang 's pride, Cheng Yanqiu 's softness, and Gou Huisheng's brightness.
reminds me of that turbulent era: the four major factions were born, the four major beards were powerful, and the four famous and were popular at home and abroad.

Arrive here through the noisy Shanxi Road, and travel back to the time of the Republic of China in one second.
The vehicles driving on the asphalt road in Guangping are flying, light and fast. The wheels are pushing rapidly on the asphalt surface, making a "buzzing" sound, which is really a bit airy.
In the past, Nanjing had many horse-drawn carriages, which almost became a feature of the city. If you were a passenger on a carriage in the old days, the horse's hooves would hit the gravel surface, making a sound of hoofbeats, as if playing the beat of a march, very leisurely and interesting.
On the recreational path between the fast lane and the slow lane, there are some acacias or plane trees planted, with clusters of shadows cast under the dark green leaves.
▲ Coming out of Yihe Road District 12 on Jiangsu Road, you can see the towering Zifeng Building in the alley next door.
The sycamores, maples and other green trees planted on both sides of the road have now blocked out the sky and the sun. Walking under these green corridors, there are few people and cars, and you can hear the crisp chirping of birds. The whole area is cool and quiet.
