绿水青山,感知韵味乡村
[越南] 范青娴 浙江科技学院
我是一名来自越南的小姑娘,有朝气、有活力、敢闯敢拼,这是朋友乐于赠予我的代名词。我喜欢探索,更爱发掘身边潜藏的美好。不知从哪一年起,中华文化仿佛隔夜春雨,悄然溜进了我的世界,或许是始于第一次阅读汉语书籍,或许是某个午后爱上的一部中国武打电影。自此,我便向往来到中国,好奇与憧憬浓墨了我来华留学的梦想。
2019年夏天,乘着机翼,凌于蓝天,跨越地域的界线,怀着对中华文化以及汉语的热忱,我来到了中国,荣幸地成为浙江科技学院的一名学生。原以为大学四年都会生活在杭城,但得知第一年在安吉校区后,我的心中不免忐忑。这是一个我不曾了解过的城市,没有高楼耸立,没有车水马龙,是一个安逸宁静的城镇。在安吉学习的半年,我渐渐地发现了它潜藏的美,也不由感叹,安吉果真是一个“绿水青山就是金山银山”的模范实践地。
金秋时节,饭后沿着小镇街道漫步,映入眼帘的是整齐排列的房屋和绿植,整洁宁静的村庄在山水的环抱下显得格外娇小可爱。路面开阔有规划,独具特色的绿色公交与自然山水融合,更有秀美的田园风光配上鸟鸣和溪流共奏的潺潺乐曲,令人不禁抛却当下的繁杂和压力。这是这座城市给我的第一印象。这里不仅风光秀丽,房屋设计也别出心裁,利用白墙与彩绘,枯燥单一的墙面画上了色彩饱满的艺术画作,突出了当地的地域特色和乡土气息,其装修风格、外观、色彩皆是现代与传统的碰撞,为活力乡村增添了无穷魅力。在蓝天白云之下,没有繁华城市的喧闹,有的是悠闲自在的慢节奏生活:在老年活动中心,老人们或以棋会友、或品茶听曲,婆婶们也时而围坐搓几局麻将,而顽皮的孩子们在社区的小公园里追逐嬉闹……乡村的安逸和纯净从未被现代化所冲击,迅猛的城市发展也并未抹去它的初心和人情味。

从前的安吉是一个经济落后的小县城,没有涌入现代化发展的大浪潮,经济结构主要靠农业和一些传统的加工业支撑。2005年8月,时任浙江省委书记的习近平在安吉余村调研时,首次提出“绿水青山就是金山银山”的论断。在“中国美丽乡村”的目标下,安吉领头建设,不负期望成为中国新农村建设的鲜活样本。因为善治,坚持绿色生态,安吉成为中国首个荣获联合国最佳人居奖的县级城市。

在这青瓦白墙、绿树掩映下的生态文明新农村,人们安居乐业,享受平淡之美。之后的台州、嘉兴之行,穿梭在山水小镇,体验乡土人文,同样使我深入地品味了浙江乡村的独特之美。浙江的乡村,不仅有山水如画的生态美景,还有难得一品的特色美食。在因地制宜打造众多旅游景区的同时,也带动不少如民宿等相关产业的发展。公共设施的普及和服务智能化的提升增添了不少乡村文化的特色。在越南我也踏足过许多特色乡村,村庄保持着特有的风韵,让人流连忘返。而来到浙江之后,我才真正体验到强大的乡村振兴和建设的力量。中国乡村建设,尤其是浙江乡村振兴和美丽乡村建设,将现代的发展和传统的风情融合为一,使农村又重回聚光灯之下。
Savor Clear Waters and Green Mountains in China’s Countryside
[Vietnam] Phạm Thị Thanh Nhàn, Zhejiang University of Science and Technology
Energetic, vigorous and daring to fight – these are the phrases that my friends depict me. As a girl from Vietnam, I like exploring new things and prefer discovering the beautiful things around me. I cannot remember since when Chinese culture “sneaked” into my life like the spring drizzle sneaks into the night. Perhaps it started when I first read a Chinese book, or maybe it was a Chinese martial arts movie I watched one afternoon. Since then, I have been longing to come to China and my curiosity and the longing have made my aspiration of studying in China stronger and stronger.
In the summer of 2019, I arrived in China as a freshman in Zhejiang University of Science & Technology with my passion on Chinese culture and language. In the beginning I thought that I would spend my four-year college life in Hangzhou, so I felt uneasy when I learned that I would spend my freshman year in the campus in Anji as this place is totally new to me. Without tall buildings nor busy traffic Anji is a peaceful and serene city. After living here for six months, I gradually found its charm, and I can say that Anji is really a role model in practicing the slogan of “Clear waters and green mountains are equal to mountains of silver and gold.”
Strolling along the streets in Anji in Autumn, you will see the neatly lined houses and green plants, and the serene and clean town is especially delicate and lovely surrounded by mountains and rivers. Wide and well-planned road, combination of unique green bus and natural scenery, and the beautiful pastoral landscape accompanied by the gurgling music of birds and streams, all these beautiful scenes will unload the burdens in your mind. This is also my first impression on this city. Not only is the scenery here beautiful, but the houses are also designed ingeniously. The plain white walls are decorated with colorful artistic paintings, highlighting Anji’s local features and the rural atmosphere. The decoration styles, appearances and colors include both Western modernism and traditional Chinese elements, adding infinite charm to the vibrant town. Under the blue sky and white clouds of Anji, there is no hustle and bustle of big cities, but people here are enjoying their leisure and slow-paced lifestyle, where aged people playing chess, sipping a cup of tea, listening to operas or playing mahjong and naughty children playing in the small parks in the community. The leisure and purity of country life has never been impacted by modern life, and the rapidly developed city didn’t erase people’s original aspiration and human touch in Anji.
Anji used to be a small county with backward economy supported by agriculture and traditional manufacturing, without participating in the trend of modernization. In August 2005, when the then Party Secretary of CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee Xi Jinping visited Yucun village of Anji, he proposed the slogan of “Clear waters and green mountains are equal to mountains of silver and gold.” With the aim to build a “China’s beautiful countryside,” Anji has taken the lead to achieve the goal, and has become a role model of China’s countryside construction. Because of its good governance and adherence to green ecology, Anji has become China’s first county that won the UN-Habitat Scroll of Honor Award.
Surrounded by lush trees, people live and work in peace and contentment in such a new countryside with blue tiles and white walls while enjoying the tranquil beauty. My trips to Taizhou and Jiaxing allowed me cruise through the towns surrourded by mountains and rivers, experience local cultures and enjoy the unique beautiful scenery in the countryside of Zhejiang. Villages in Zhejiang not only have picturesque natural landscape, but also have delicacies that rare to taste. When many tourist attractions are built based on local conditions, downstream business such as homestays are also boosting. The popularization of public facilities and the upgrade of smart services are adding more color to the countryside culture. I also travelled to many special villages in Vietnam, and they are well preserved, making people linger. Only after coming to Zhejiang, I really experienced the power of rural revitalization and construction. China’s countryside construction, especially the revitalization and construction of rural villages in Zhejiang, has combined modern development and traditional customs, bringing the countryside back to the spotlight.
