According to historical records, Loutang River was once a tributary of Loujiang River, which joined with Loujiang River (Liuhe River) and then entered the sea.

Zhang Xi, a native of Loutang Town, was stamped (1863 ~ 19 15). When I was young, I studied business with my father in Risheng Buhao, Shanghai. In the 9th year of Guangxu reign (1883), cotton mills and farms were established in Shanghai and Loutang. Later, I went to Europe and the United States for inspection, and after returning to China, I was engaged in the printing industry. In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, the Commercial Press expanded its scale and printed a huge sum of money, becoming the main shareholder of the library. In the 29th year of Guangxu, the Commercial Press and the Japanese King Kong Party jointly operated, expanded equipment and trained workers, and became the largest and most advanced printing factory in China. During this period, I worked closely with Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Yuanji to edit, translate, print and distribute various books.
In the first year of the Republic of China (19 12), after inspecting the foreign telegraph industry, the idea of establishing China telegraph coding system sprouted. Therefore, in the case of word correlation, it took tens of thousands of talents and three years to compile a telegraph code book with more than 65,438+million words, which was widely used in the domestic telecommunications industry. In 2002, Xia Ruifang, general manager of Commercial Press, was assassinated, and the board unanimously recommended Yin Mo to succeed him. After he took office, he recruited talents, compiled a large number of western books, founded the Commercial Press Press, and distributed books to the whole country. In 4 years of the Republic of China, Ci Yuan, published by the Commercial Press, was printed with this model for the publisher. That year, he broke down from overwork and went to Japan for medical treatment. He died abroad on1October116th at the age of 52.
Yin Mo, a famous publishing industrialist in modern China, was praised by business colleagues as "the general manager with courage, foresight, scheduling and management skills". The local specialties of Loutang are Jiading white garlic, Jiading white broad bean, edible fungi, grapes, strawberries, bamboo products, yellow grass weaving and so on.
Jiading white garlic
Garlic, formerly known as "Hu", is a Liliaceae herb, originally from Central Asia. Zhang Qian sent garlic to the western regions for planting. China has been cultivated for more than 2000 years, and Jiading white garlic has been cultivated for more than 700 years. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Loutang area has been planted in pieces and exported to all parts of Nanyang. Jiading white garlic is an excellent variety carefully cultivated by farmers in Loutang area in the past 100 years on sandy soil: the garlic is round, big in head, thick in petal shape, white and spicy in color, crisp and tender in meat, and resistant to storage. When mature, the fibrous roots naturally fall off, so it is also known as "removing the old whiskers". Farmers in Loutang often bundle the harvested garlic and hang it under the eaves to dry naturally. In front of and behind the houses of thousands of families, white garlic has become a spectacle.
Jiading white garlic not only has great edible value, but also has medicinal effects such as sterilization, treatment and fitness. As early as the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica: "Pumpkin garlic, with a strong smell, can pass through the five internal organs, achieve enlightenment, eliminate cold and dampness, eliminate evil spirits, relieve pain and swelling, and turn diseases into autumn meat." Therefore, it is welcomed by people at home and abroad. According to the determination, Jiading white garlic contains more than 60 kinds of beneficial substances, which have been used as raw materials for precious drugs, nourishing drinks, health food and beauty cosmetics in many countries abroad.
Jiading white garlic can be eaten raw or cooked. Raw food is spicy and delicious, appetizing and refreshing. Pickled garlic is called "immortal garlic" and soaked in vinegar is called "vinegar garlic". For example, adding a small amount of minced garlic to meat can remove fishy smell and enhance fragrance. In addition, Jiading white garlic can also be processed into quick-frozen garlic seedlings, garlic slices, garlic powder, garlic paste, dehydrated garlic and so on. In recent years, garlic ice cream, garlic wine and other beverages have been developed.
Jiading white broad bean
Jiading white broad bean, with white skin, white meat and white eyes, is called "three whites". In addition, it also has the characteristics of large petals, flat shape, thin skin and tender meat. Fresh Jiading white broad beans are crispy and delicious after being cooked, and they are rich in nutrition.
Because of the special requirements of Jiading white broad bean for soil quality, this variety is only suitable for planting in the northeast of Jiading, and Loutang is one of the main planting areas of Jiading white broad bean. Once the high-quality white broad beans are transplanted to other places, they will degenerate into ordinary broad beans with green skin.
Shanghai Chenghuang Temple has a special product, spiced beans, which are huge, delicious and sweet, chewy and memorable. Its orthodox raw material is Jiading white broad bean. Appreciation of spiced beans in Chenghuangmiao is the best evaluation of Jiading white broad beans. Anyone who has been to Loutang knows that the so-called "Loutang Street Deviation" is not a myth. None of the 19 streets built by the Loutang River are straight. This is because it is a reflection of the natural development process and results of social economy in the past. In ancient times, the houses in Loutang were built along the river, which was closely related to the economic structure dominated by waterway transportation. It can not only facilitate the circulation of goods, but also save transportation costs and provide convenience for outdoor and domestic water. When the two main rivers, Hengli River and Loutang River, pass through the town, the rivers themselves cross and bend, and the streets in the town have to adapt to the bending of the rivers, so it is inevitable that the direction is difficult to be correct. The older a street is, the more it will retain its curved shape. This shows the historical origin of the streets in Loutang ancient town.
As for the saying of "seven bends and seventeen patios", it comes from a legend: it is said that people who came to Loutang before went back and said that there were many wells in Loutang. If you count carefully, there are eighteen! In fact, they all saw the same well, located in Qujiaxiang at the intersection of West Street and North Street, commonly known as "Dajingtang". However, because every street in Loutang is winding, the street pattern is like a chessboard, and the streets are connected. Therefore, people who are new to Loutang don't know the way, and they will go back to the surrounding places. No wonder they regard one well as eighteen wells.
Legend belongs to legend, and the "patio hall" in this sentence actually refers to the patio in the house. Although the twists and turns of Loutang Street are caused by the river relationship, the streets and lanes of Loutang are not built by the river like many market towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Many people are at a certain distance from the river, so it is inconvenient to use water at the riverside pier. So drilling wells for water has become an integral part of building houses, which also constitutes a well system widely distributed in various houses in the town. Generally, these wells will be drilled in the patio and used in the family room. Moreover, many wells in old houses have a history of hundreds of years, and "seventeen or eight patios" is used to describe many.
