Chapter 22 Newly Moved Rental House - Wedge

In the twentieth spring of traveling in Kyoto, there is nowhere to live in poverty.

Since ancient times, wanderers who have been wandering and working hard in other places, in terms of dealing with penniness and high property prices, the best choice is to rent a house.The prosperous period of this history can be traced back to the Song Dynasty.

"In the heavy city, under the double towers, every inch of land is the same price as gold."Under such circumstances, in the Song Dynasty, from civil servants and generals to ordinary people, they all had to find and rent houses by themselves.Even great writers such as Su Dongpo and Ouyang Xiu can only live by renting houses.

There were two forms of rental housing in the Song Dynasty. One was the private rental housing organization called "Zhuang Zhai Xing", and the other was a unit that specialized in managing public rental housing, called "Lou Dian Wu", later also known as "Shop Zhai Wu".These two organizations are equivalent to today's housing agencies and housing management bureaus.

For a long time, because of the high rent of houses, there are not a few people who have to choose remote or mixed living environments in order to save money.What's more, those who are brave will find a "haunted house" with lower rent to live in.In Song Hongmai's "Yijian Ding Zhi", "Dailoumen House" notes, a Beijing drifter named Lin Shao, who took the exam, once "entered the capital and lived inside the Daimenlou Gate, where the place was extremely remote and crowded. It is said that the house is fierce and strange."

When it comes to renting a house, I also have the right to speak, after all, I am also a renter.Although, economically, I don't have to choose a house that is too cheap, but I don't have the chance to choose one that is too luxurious.

After I moved into the current house, every summer, I occasionally like to stand on the balcony of my house, drinking tea and looking at the night view of the city.

Apart from the heavy traffic in the distance, there are also dots of orange light in the residential areas, which not only illuminate the way home, but also warm the city.It is such houses one after another that bring hopes and dreams to every city.But it's as simple as going out in the morning and coming home at night, where someone starts everything and someone ends it here.In addition to hopes and dreams, of course there are also disappointments and cruel realities here.

In short, the squares of these cities are the places of joys and sorrows in this world.You never know what kind of stories the space you live in used to have, and how many past events will be condensed here.
