【阿丙】乐山，那些热爱生活的人｜老城区散步 赏江 四川乐山 Leshan: A City of Life-Lovers. Strolling by the River. Sichuan, China

乐山，古称嘉州，取“郡土嘉美”之意，是一座凝三江灵气（青衣江、大渡河、岷江）、载三千年文脉的蜀中名城。 提及乐山，最有名的是乐山大佛和美食。但此行，给我最大感触的不是它们，而是乐山人身上的精气神，那股带着闲适却又认真生活的劲。 在老城区散步，被乐山自带松弛感的烟火气冲击。哪怕下着雨，露天菜市也依旧热闹。小雨滴在刚从地里采摘不久的蔬果上，愈发新鲜可爱。海棠公园随时都热闹非凡，挤满了享受生活的人。而叮咚井、文庙，这样具有历史厚重感的地方，也因闲坐和打球的人们，变得轻盈。穿过各种小巷和街道，到了滨江路沿途，遇见了许多热爱音乐和跳舞的人。吹着江风，一路走到冬泳广场，远眺江对岸的大佛，还有那些大渡河、岷江穿梭的游泳爱好者们，很钦佩他们在水里沉浮的勇气。爬完乌尤寺后，在乌尤寺码头，趁着傍晚的风，遇见了同样在岷江边等待日落的人们。虽然没有等到完美的日落，但等待本身就足够美了。 这一些些，细碎且日常的美好，不具有什么冲击力，但淡淡的本身也是一种美。或许，这就是乐山人如此热爱生活的缘由吧。 Leshan, historically known as Jiazhou—a name meaning “land of excellence and beauty”—is a celebrated city in Sichuan where three rivers (the Qingyi, Dadu, and Min) converge, imbuing it with natural charm and a cultural history spanning over 3,000 years. While Leshan is best known for the Giant Buddha and its delicious food, what struck me most during this visit wasn't either of these—but the spirit of the local people. They carry a unique blend of ease and earnestness in the way they live. Walking through the old town, I was embraced by Leshan’s laid-back, everyday energy. Even in the rain, the open-air market remained lively, with droplets glistening on freshly picked fruits and vegetables, making them look even more vibrant. Haitang Park was bustling with people enjoying life at all hours. Meanwhile, historical sites like Dingdong Well and the Confucian Temple felt light and lively, animated by locals playing sports or sitting around chatting. Wandering through lanes and streets, I reached the Riverside Road, where I encountered many people dancing or making music. With the river breeze brushing past, I walked on to Winter Swimming Square, gazing across at the Giant Buddha and watching swimmers braving the currents of the Dadu and Min Rivers—their courage left me in awe. After visiting Wuyou Temple, I stopped by its pier in the evening and joined others waiting by the river for the sunset. We didn’t get a perfect one—but the act of waiting was beautiful in itself. These small, ordinary moments of beauty may not be dramatic, but there’s a gentle charm in their simplicity. Perhaps that’s exactly why the people of Leshan love life so deeply.
