Beijing, an ancient capital with over three thousand years of history and eight hundred years as the seat of government, its soul lies deep within its intricate network of hutongs. They form a vast web, tightly connecting the grandeur of the imperial city with the lively atmosphere of daily life, stringing together the most vivid and dynamic threads of this metropolis. Beijing Hutong; Imperial City under the daily is not merely a simple book of illustrations; it is more akin to a dialogue across time, a deep exploration of Beijing's unique aesthetic of living. In this book, each carefully selected postcard is not just a static image, but a frozen moment in time, carrying a story, narrating an ordinary yet extraordinary tale of "under the imperial city." Delving into the Texture: Touching the Vitality of the Hutongs This book aims to break the stereotype of hutongs as merely "old and dilapidated," delving into their very fabric and revealing their unceasing vitality. From the grey walls and tiled roofs of siheyuan courtyards to the winding alleys paved with flagstones, from the mottled stone lions guarding doorways to the clothes drying on window sills, and the figures of children chasing each other at the alley entrances, every detail is imbued with the essence of life, speaking of historical depth. In this book, you will witness the hutongs in the morning. Before the sky is fully lit, the calls of trishaw drivers are already echoing, the steam from breakfast stalls wafts out, carrying the aroma of freshly steamed buns and fried dough sticks to the nostrils of every early riser. Old people sit outside their homes, fanning themselves and chatting about daily life, their gazes revealing a calm acceptance of the passage of time. Children, with their schoolbags on their backs, head to school with spirit, their laughter reverberating through the quiet hutongs, forming the most melodious music of this city. In the afternoon, sunlight filters through the leaves of tall locust trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. In the streets and alleys, old craftsmen meticulously polish the objects in their hands, their skills passed down through generations, representing the most precious treasures of the hutongs. In the small teahouses by the roadside, groups of friends gather around a table, a cup of clear tea and a few plates of peanuts are enough to while away a leisurely afternoon. The air is filled with the faint scent of jasmine, a distinctive fragrance of Beijing. In the evening, the lights of every household begin to glow, casting a warm yellow aura onto the alleyways. Wisps of cooking smoke curl upwards, and the aroma of food mingles with the laughter of family members, creating a warm and harmonious scene. As night deepens, moonlight like water spills across the tranquil hutongs. Occasional dog barks or the hurried footsteps of a night walker further accentuate the quiet and peace of the night. Carriers of Culture: The Evolution of Eras and the Spirit of Humanity in the Hutongs Hutongs are not just collections of buildings; they are carriers of culture. They bear the historical memories, lifestyles, and unique humanistic spirit of Beijing. Through observations of hutongs in different regions and of various types, the book showcases the roles hutongs have played in different historical periods and how they, along with the imperial city, have jointly witnessed the changes of the times. You might see in the book those once glorious prince's mansions, now hidden amidst the bustling city. Though they no longer possess their former glory, their exquisite carved beams and painted eaves still speak of past splendor. You will also see the ordinary lanes where common people reside, simple and unadorned, yet full of the warmth of life and human touch. Here, neighbors watch out for each other, sharing joys and sorrows, forming vivid life paintings. The book delves into the traditional crafts and folk cultures hidden within the hutongs. From the painting of Peking Opera masks to the molding of dough figurines and sugar figures, from the delicate art of paper cutting to the recounting of Beijing dialect and opera, these intangible cultural heritages have found their best inheritance and development in the hutongs. They are unique cultural symbols of Beijing and the most radiant stars in the hutongs. At the same time, this book also focuses on the challenges and opportunities faced by hutongs in the process of modernization. The protection and renovation of old buildings, the collision and integration of new and old, are all quietly happening. By recording these changes, the book aims to provoke reflection on urban development and cultural inheritance. The Power of Postcards: Freezing Moments, Conveying Emotions Beijing Hutong; Imperial City under the daily is presented in the form of postcards, imbuing each image with unique significance. Postcards themselves carry a nostalgic sentiment, the warmth of correspondence. Each postcard has been carefully selected and composed, striving to capture the most authentic moments and the most touching emotions of the hutongs. These postcards are like time capsules, preserving the cycle of seasons, the ebb and flow of human relationships, the joys and sorrows of Beijing's hutongs, one by one. They can be greetings to distant friends, mementos for oneself, or even love letters to the city. In this book, we not only showcase the scenes of the hutongs but also attempt to convey a certain attitude towards life through the images. That unhurried, calm, and composed attitude towards life; that attitude that values human connection and quality of living. Whether you are in the bustling metropolis or in a faraway land, opening this book of postcards will instantly transport you back to those Beijing hutongs, full of the essence of life and human warmth, allowing you to feel the peace and comfort found under the imperial city. Understanding Beijing Starts with the Hutongs Beijing, this ancient yet modern city, its charm extends far beyond magnificent structures like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. The real Beijing lies hidden within these crisscrossing hutongs, hidden in every ordinary day under the imperial city. Beijing Hutong; Imperial City under the daily invites you to slow down and walk into these hutongs filled with stories.
