The connotation of Wang Zengqi's "Hutong Culture":

Wang Zengqi once summarized it as follows in "Hutong Culture": "Hutong culture is a "It's a closed culture" "Beijing people are easy to satisfy, they don't have high material requirements for life" "Beijing people like to watch the excitement, but don't like to meddle in other people's business" "The essence of Beijing Hutong culture is 'tolerance', keeping one's integrity, and accepting things as they come", etc. wait. It can be said that Hutong culture is also mixed with good and bad, and it should be promoted and discarded.

Hutong culture is not limited to people living in courtyards in hutongs. Beijing has developed rapidly in recent years. Many hutongs and courtyard houses have disappeared. Many people have moved into high-rise buildings, lived in spacious apartments, and even owned private villas. However, the inheritance of hutongs culture is still reflected in them. The affluent modern life has not isolated them from their inextricable spiritual connection with hutong culture.

Hutong culture is the popular culture of Beijing. Wangpi's Hutong, Dog Tail Hutong, the name of the Hutong cannot be considered elegant; playing chess, gathering for wine, and meeting birds, the things in the Hutong are not earth-shattering; the people in the Hutong are so easy to satisfy with wotou, radish, and boiled cabbage. These seemingly vulgar materials can highlight the essence of Beijing's culture through the writer's skillful touch.
