There is a maid coffee shop on Suzhou Cultural Monument Street.

Suzhou maid coffee shop

Suzhou, a more than 4000-year-old ancient city where women wander gracefully in the streets in cheongsam and listen to Kunqu Opera as a street-sweeping drool song, may sometimes be because they are not willing to settle in history for too long. Can also make some "inadvertent willow Chengyin" cute action. For example, a city propaganda film with "loser" is written openly, two curses sound like the Suzhou dialect that tickles people, and a maid shop that makes Feng Menglong, who advocates personality liberation, wants to come back. All right, cute Suzhou, are you going to be cuter than chinchilla?

The city promotional film "Tiger Hill" is regarded as a "loser".

Acting cute is sometimes a "high-risk" job. If a city with too much culture wants to join the ranks of acting cute with the wrong scale, it may turn into a tragedy if you are not careful. This is not a cultural promotional film called "Millennium Tiger Hill." it turned the good Suzhou paradise into a "loser" in a second. Located in the northwest suburb of Suzhou City, it is said that Wu Wang Fu buried his father here during the Spring and Autumn period. Three days after the burial, there was a white tiger on it, hence the name Huqiu. Su Dongpo, a writer of the Song Dynasty, once said, "it is a pity to go to Suzhou without visiting Tiger Hill." in 2007, in order to better promote Huqiu, Suzhou filmed a promotional film called "Millennium Tiger Hill". In order to reflect the cultural taste of the thousand-year-old ancient city, Suzhou shot a promotional film called "Millennium Tiger Hill". The word "Huqiu" at the beginning of the film deliberately adopts the ancient font.

Unexpectedly, five years later, when the word "loser" quickly became popular in China, the promotional film really became a hit. Because, the word "Huqiu" in the ancient style at the beginning of the film is very similar to the new word "loser" on the Internet.

Suzhou women talk too softly, and men rush to be scolded.

Suzhou dialect has always been known as "Wu Nong soft language", and its greatest feature is "soft", especially for women. Among the other dialects of the Wu dialect family, Wuxi dialect, Jiaxing dialect and Ningbo dialect are not as soft as Suzhou dialect. In Suzhou people's three favorite leisure hobbies: Kunqu Opera, Pingtan, and drinking tea, Pingtan is an ancient and beautiful art of Suzhou dialect. It is said that in Suzhou, the image of women can not only stay in the countless graceful cheongsam figures in the streets and alleys. When you have to go to the teahouse to listen to Kunqu Opera, nine times out of ten you will hear such a joke: Suzhou women talk too beautifully. The habit of adding a "ah" to everything you say is even more deadly. When two Shanghai men come to Suzhou, they can't help deliberately flirting with Suzhou girls. In order to hear them scold: you 13:00, die far away!

What's the point of opening a maid shop in a monument?

To paraphrase Wang Xiaobi: in this era when animation fans are embarrassed to say hello, the occasional appearance of a maid shop is nothing new. But it would be a little too cute if you drive it on an ancient street comparable to "intangible cultural heritage". Shiquan Street, which still retains the feeling of "parallel water and land and adjacent river streets", is a leading cultural street in Suzhou: there are 14 antique bridges, such as Wuque Bridge, Daicheng Bridge, Dishi Bridge and so on. Canglang Pavilion, Nanyuan, Netizen Garden and other landscape houses have been netted, and ancient and modern masters such as Feng Menglong, Ye Shengtao and Zhang Daqian have been inhabited. It can be said that even the ants on the roadside can exude the smell of history. But all of this was defeated in November 2010 by a maid-themed cafe called "adorable House Shop": a coffee board game bar based on the characters of the maid in cartoon A CG, which has become a popular destination for otaku since it is ready to enjoy the benefit of the goddess who comes out of the animation to pour tea and water. I don't know if Feng Menglong, who advocates "borrowing the true love between men and women to teach fake medicine" in the "narrative Folk Song," will also come here at night and sigh that "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front of them."
