中國有許多古城,有的隱在深山,有的枕著江水,而平遙古城,卻像一枚從歷史里走來的印章,把明清的輝煌與滄桑一并蓋在晉中的黃土地上。
初到平遙,最先映入眼簾的便是那座保存完整的古城墻。青磚灰瓦砌成的城墻巍然矗立,將整座小城圈在時(shí)光里,斑駁的墻磚上爬滿了歲月的青苔。順著石階拾級(jí)而上,站在城墻之巔遠(yuǎn)眺,城內(nèi)是棋盤般規(guī)整的街巷和錯(cuò)落的灰色屋頂,城外則是晉中平原廣袤的黃土與遠(yuǎn)處若隱若現(xiàn)的山影。
進(jìn)得城來,仿佛走進(jìn)了一部活著的歷史劇。平遙古城沒有高樓大廈,只有連綿的青磚四合院,雕花木門半掩著,門上斑駁的銅環(huán)在午后的陽光下泛著暗光。一塊塊青石板鋪就的街巷曲折延伸,腳步聲在石板上輕輕回響,仿佛帶著人踏入百年前的晉商舊夢(mèng)。
平遙最熱鬧的,當(dāng)屬明清一條街。這條街自東城門一直延伸到古城中心,街道兩旁,票號(hào)、鏢局、錢莊、布莊鱗次櫛比。古時(shí)這里商號(hào)林立、貨通天下,如今依舊店鋪林立,賣的是雕漆、琉璃、剪紙、銅器,也賣手工制的老陳醋和黃酒,游客們?nèi)齼蓛舍溽嗥溟g,感嘆古城不老,市井猶在。
若說平遙古城最自豪的,莫過于那句“匯通天下”。在票號(hào)的興盛年代,這里是中國金融的發(fā)源地。日升昌票號(hào)如今依舊矗立在古街一隅,木質(zhì)的大門上“日升昌”三個(gè)鎏金大字沉穩(wěn)而厚重。走進(jìn)票號(hào)舊址,耳邊仿佛響起昔日賬房先生沙沙的算盤聲,身影穿梭于柜臺(tái)、賬簿、金庫之間,一紙銀票便能通達(dá)九州四海。
平遙的時(shí)光,是慢的。若不趕時(shí)間,不如隨意走進(jìn)一座老宅子,坐在雕花的窗下,看光影透過格子窗灑落在青磚地面上。屋子深處可能還住著地道的平遙人,院子里栽著月季或石榴,墻角擱著老陶缸,貓咪臥在曬暖的石階上,半瞇著眼,也懶得理會(huì)來來往往的游客。
到了傍晚,古城褪去了白日的喧囂,燈籠一盞盞亮起,橘紅的光把青磚墻面映得溫潤(rùn)可親。巷子里傳來遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)近近的吆喝聲,偶爾幾聲清脆的風(fēng)鈴叮當(dāng)作響。若是冬日,街邊的老店早早支起了銅鍋火爐,蒸騰的熱氣里,一碗刀削面、一碗熱騰騰的平遙牛肉湯,足以驅(qū)走寒意,也暖了來客的心。
平遙不僅是古城的名字,更是一種晉商精神的象征。這里曾是商賈云集、鏢師往來、銀號(hào)林立的繁華之地,如今雖不再金銀滾滾,卻把這段輝煌細(xì)細(xì)藏進(jìn)磚縫里、院落中,藏進(jìn)后輩們溫厚質(zhì)樸的性子里。走在古城,總能看見年歲已高的老人倚在門口曬太陽,或低聲絮語,或靜靜守望,把這份時(shí)光見證得更真切。
出了城門,若有余興,不妨去雙林寺或鎮(zhèn)國寺看看。雙林寺藏著數(shù)百尊彩塑佛像,造型生動(dòng),神態(tài)各異,被譽(yù)為“東方彩塑藝術(shù)寶庫”;鎮(zhèn)國寺里的萬佛殿則是中國現(xiàn)存最古老的木結(jié)構(gòu)建筑之一,斗拱飛檐之間,是千年不倒的堅(jiān)毅。
若是趕上平遙國際攝影大展,整個(gè)古城便更添一抹現(xiàn)代與古老交融的趣味。世界各地的攝影師把作品掛在青磚墻上、老院子里,一張張照片與斑駁的磚瓦、雕花的門窗對(duì)話,時(shí)光的縫隙里,過往與當(dāng)下在這里握手言和。https://txc.qq.com/products/756951/blog/1787218

有人說,平遙是中國古城的縮影,青磚灰瓦里藏著家國與商道的榮光,也藏著平凡煙火與人間冷暖。在這座千年古城里,古老與現(xiàn)代并不沖突,時(shí)光與人心,都慢下來,安靜下來。
當(dāng)你走出城門,或許耳邊依舊回蕩著那一句:“匯通天下”,那是平遙留給世界最厚重的回響。
