何为市井？“立市必四方，若造井之制，故曰市井。”长安，盛唐时，全城一百零八坊，坊为居，另设东市与西市，市为商，“五陵年少金市东，银鞍白马度春风”，极尽繁盛，再后来，岁月凋敝，夜路狂奔，长安一去不返，魂魄尽失，唯留躯壳，只余西安。
盛时长安虽已难寻踪迹，市井生活却依然延续。街道边摆摊，家门口乘凉，家与城的关系，此消彼长，既有生活智慧，也有处世哲学，喧闹、庞杂，活得就是人间烟火气息，活得就是自然生长。
城市记忆，生动于市井之间。
What did a traditional marketplace look like? In Guan Zi, it said, “The market should be set up in a squared space, like building up a well.” In the glorious age of Tang Dynasty, there were 108 residential blocks in Chang’an city for the citizens to live. Besides, there were two markets in the eastern and the western city for the business. “Young dandy visited the West market, riding a white horse on the silver saddle happily.” The poem reveals the glory of the city at that time. With the time passing by, the Chang’an was no longer existed. And with the spirit of Chang’an disappearing, only Xi’an left.
The prosperous Chang’an was disappeared, but the traditional lifestyle went on till now. People were doing trade along the lanes and relaxing at the door of their houses. The relationship between “home” and “city” were growing since then. There in the city, you can find the wisdom of life. It is the everyday life of the most ordinary downtown, noisy but vigorous, evolving freely.
The urban memories are just in the very ordinary life.
