Features: Shaoxing is a city of black and white. Black is the soaring eaves of old-style tianmen, with rugged lines, never fading in solemnity and dignity under the erosion of time; white is the silent, standing courtyard walls, weathered externally, facing shadows in the changing sunlight, all past hardships turning into faint murmurs. Black is the pattern woven with longing, deeply etched into the martyrs' tombstones, illuminated by lightning that pierces the sky, kissed by the wind and rain that fill the heavens; white is the flowers of this season, embracing the crystal-clear dew and lush new grass, offering pure beauty. Black is the sunless corners in the winding river, deep and silent, as if burying the splendid wishes of a thousand years ago; white is the overlapping footprints on the stone arch bridge, scattered by the wind, leaving only the scent of earth that clings, gone, then returning.
