Zhujiajiao is located in the transportation hub of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai provinces, and its geographical position is very superior. It is adjacent to Hongqiao International Airport in the east, Kunshan in the north, Jiaxing in the south and Wang Ping in the west. In the lower reaches of Dianshan Lake, Caogang River, a golden waterway, passes through the town. Nine long streets extending along the river, thousands of Ming and Qing buildings standing by the water, 36 ancient stone bridges and places of interest abound. Tired of playing with man-made landscapes with similar prices, people are surprised that there are still well-preserved natural landscapes in the suburbs of Shanghai, where they can find a kind of enjoyment of returning to nature and advocating wild interest. No wonder a famous professor of Tongji University was amazed after inspecting Zhujiajiao: "Zhujiajiao has such a rich cultural background, which is not only a treasure of Shanghai, but also a national treasure". Sanmao, the late famous writer in Taiwan Province Province, was fascinated by the pattern of "small bridges and flowing water" and intoxicated by the quietness, picturesque and poetic here.
"The natural scenery of small bridges and flowing water is the original streets and lanes of Ming and Qing Dynasties", and the natural location here can not help but be concerned by many film and television directors. The graceful charm of the ancient water town has been put on the screen and TV again and again, and sometimes there will be a grand occasion when several films are started at the same time. Zhujiajiao has become a hot spot in film and television shooting at home and abroad, and is known as "Hollywood in the suburbs of Shanghai".
Zhujiajiao, a famous town, has a long history. During the steelmaking period of 1958, people in the town miraculously dried up the lakes in the north of the town in order to find iron. At the bottom of the lake, people accidentally found a large number of Neolithic relics, which proved to be Majia? Culture, Songze culture, Liangzhu culture and cultural relics from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. From 65438 to 0959, a large number of stone knives, stone plows, stone spinning wheels and printed pottery pieces were salvaged in Dianshan Lake. These relics from the Neolithic Age to the Warring States Period prove that the ancestors of Zhujiajiao lived and multiplied here thousands of years ago.
1930, the town's lizhu newspaper published a paragraph "Dongxiang ning? The excavation of Wu Dong's general Gan Ning's tomb proved that Zhujiajiao had formed a rural market in the Three Kingdoms period 1700 years ago. According to historical records, Zhujiajiao had formed a market in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, named Zhujiacun. The famous temples in the town, such as Yuanjin Temple and Cimen Temple, were built between the Yuan Dynasty and Mindfulness. It is conceivable that the ancient town is densely populated and has begun to take shape. Due to the convenient transportation across the Caogang River in the town, the business is booming and there are thousands of fireworks. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the town was officially built, and the Pearl Street Pavilion was also called Zhuxi. "Zhu Li Xiao Zhi" was compiled in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, with Julie as the town name, commonly known as Li Jiao. Song Rulin once described this in the preface to A Little Story in the Pearl: "Today, the Pearl is a corner of Qingxi, with thousands of fireworks, which connects Kunshan in the north and Shui Gu in the south. Its streets are endless, businessmen are busy, and Shui Mu and Tsinghua are all literati ... People who are in it are envious of letting the wind on both sides of the farm go back to ancient times, but it's better than Levin's. We can appreciate the prosperity and human feelings of Zhujiajiao 200 years ago.
Zhujiajiao has a unique natural environment, convenient waterway transportation, many businessmen and frequent exchanges. It was once famous for the standard cloth industry in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was known as "the first in the world for clothes and quilts" and became a giant town in the south of the Yangtze River. Sometimes a poem says, "The land of fish and rice is in trouble at six o'clock, and Nanqiao people avoid making small patrols. The two towns (Zhujing and Fengjing) are not as good as Zhu Jieting, which is always unknown in the picture." In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zhujiajiao rice industry rose suddenly, which promoted the prosperity of all walks of life. At that time, there were many old shops and famous shops, various department stores in the north and south, and the countryside stretched for hundreds of miles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Therefore, there is a saying that "three scenes (Zhujing, Fengjing and Jing Ling) are not as good as one corner (Zhujiajiao)".
During the period of the Republic of China, the rice industry was at its peak, and the green and thin rice produced was the highest in Shanghai rice market, which was exported to Beijing and overseas. When rice appeared, the peak reached 20,000 to 30,000 tons (1500-2,250 tons), and 600 tons of rape were harvested every day. The "Zhujiajiao vegetable oil" produced is famous all over the world, as well as industry, handicraft industry and bank pawn. On holidays, more foreign vendors come to the market, restaurants and teahouses are open almost day and night, big vendors walk the streets and snacks stay up all night. At that time, hundreds of agricultural vessels came to harvest rice and blocked the Caogang River.
The charming natural scenery of Zhujiajiao, an ancient town, is surrounded by mountains and lakes. True mountains and waters show the characteristics of Jiangnan water town. This mountain is called Dianshan. Although it is not high, it is very famous. It is the starting point of Tianmu Mountain in western Zhejiang. For example, climbing a mountain to see the lake, you can enjoy a "peak dusk photo" scene.
Lake, natural fresh water Dianshan Lake, covers an area of 62 square kilometers. Most of the eastern part of the lake is in Zhujiajiao area. Hangzhou has 1 1 West Lake, which covers a large area. You can swim around the lake by boat, and the reeds in the lake area sway gently, which makes you feel far away from the hubbub and relaxed. Zhujiajiao, a famous town, is more attractive and has the characteristics of an ancient town. It is composed of one bridge, one street, one temple, one temple, one hall, one museum, two gardens, three bays and twenty-six lanes. If Zhouzhuang, a 900-year-old water town, is small and exquisite, it looks like a small jasper, while Zhujiajiao, a thousand-year-old town, is magnificent and elegant. First of all, the area of Zhujiajiao ancient town is 1.5 square kilometers, which is more than three times that of Zhouzhuang. Its home is very big and there are many natural places to play. Cao Gang divides Zhujiajiao into Jingting Port on the north bank and North Street on the south bank. There are winding alleys, granite streets, Ming and Qing buildings with blue bricks and tiles, and countless historical sites on both sides. The first bridge, the first stone arch bridge in Shanghai, is also the largest five-hole stone bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. On July 27th, it was the best to stand on the top of the bridge and watch the clippers swing, while the other 30 ancient stone bridges were as magnificent as Zhouzhuang. In terms of construction and technology, Zhonghe Bridge and Zhaxi Bridge in Zhujiajiao are stronger than Zhouzhuang Double Bridge, and those characteristic bridges are incomparable to Zhouzhuang. Three steps away are "High-low Bridge", "Miniature Landscape" Planting Bridge, "Ka" Qijia Bridge and "Yongfeng Memorial National Shame Bridge".
First Street, the first North Street in Shanghai in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is still so original after many vicissitudes. The unique structure of "first sight" is amazing. Known as "three miles in a long street and thousands of shops", North Street is full of old shops and hung with red lanterns, making it the most lively ancient street in Jiangnan, which is beyond the reach of other ancient towns in Jiangnan.
The first temple, Guobao Temple, is the lower house of the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai. The Sakyamuni Jade Buddha carved from white jade in Myanmar, the first white jade Guanyin presented by Singapore, and the Millennium ancient ginkgo are called the "three treasures" of the National Security Temple.
The first hall, the Town God Temple with a history of more than 200 years, with blue tiles and yellow walls, flying dragons and lucky gourds, and long lattice windows, presents a solemn and magnificent scene full of ancient meanings, and cigarettes are around. Among them, "Dougongtai", "Woodcut Beam" and "nave Painting Axis" (now abandoned) are called "Three Treasures" of the City God Temple, which are very rare.
The first hall is Xi Hall, which is a masterpiece of wealthy family buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. Especially the brick carving of the wall door is a must. Its exquisite patterns, exquisite carvings and superb skills are amazing. The first museum, Wang Chang Memorial Hall, exhibited nearly 100 physical exhibits, such as wax figures, poems, calligraphy and paintings, inscriptions, looms, old-fashioned beds and so on. In the 19th year of Qing Qianlong, he was a scholar, and Wang Chang, the right assistant minister of punishments. Rich in content, informative historical materials, crystal status is extremely high.
The second garden is Kezhi Garden and Zhuxi Park, an ancient one and a modern one; A huge, a delicate, set each other off. Kezhi Garden is a manor-style garden building, covering an area of 96 mu. This garden was built in 19 12, which means "learning while planting". There is a book city, a village in Xiang Tao, a pavilion in the garden, a bridge tree in Langfang, a hall and a living room of various buildings. Zhuxi Park was built in 1956, covering an area of more than 70 mu. It is small and exquisite with beautiful scenery. It is decorated into three gardens in spring, autumn and winter, each with its own characteristics. There are also children's parks, restaurants, teahouses and shops, which are ideal places for rest, eating, shopping and playing.
Three bays, namely: Sanyang Bay, Jiaozhou Bay and Tommy Bay. On the pedestrian street, there are houses all around. I think, at the end of the road, turning at a right angle, a street market is in front of us, which makes people feel wonderful. This strange turning landscape of the old street is rare in other ancient towns, and you can't see it unless Zhujiajiao.
In fact, the Twenty-six Alleys are not just the Twenty-six Gu Xiang in Zhujiajiao. Every street has alleys leading to streets, streets and alleys, forming a network chessboard pattern. Zhujiajiao Gu Xiang is famous for its richness, antiquity, strangeness and profundity, which is unmatched by other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Walking in an alley is like entering a maze, full of fun. Exploring the past and enjoying the hutong-style interest in the north also have the same effect. In recent years, "ancient tourism" has been favored by foreigners and foreigners more and more. It is a precious virgin land and needs further development.
Zhujiajiao, a famous town, is also famous for its "three more", that is, there are many celebrities, many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, many rivers and ports, many rocks and many teahouses.
First of all, there are many celebrities, mainly Zhujiajiao, with quiet environment and pleasant climate. It is a treasure house of research and learning. It has always been a gathering of literati and talented people. In Ming and Qing dynasties, there were 0/6 Jinshi/kloc, including more than 40 people. Among them, Wang Chang, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, Chen, a physician, Lu Tuer, a novelist, Zi Pei, a newspaper magnate, and a stone relief monk are famous.
Secondly, there are many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Historically, many wealthy families and literati built gardens and houses here. There are as many as four or five hundred ancient houses in the town, and people with wind and fire walls, Shikumen and wall doors can be seen everywhere. "Sancha Fishing Village", "Wang Chang's Former Residence", "Fulu Nianzhi" and dozens of places, such as Guild Hall, Lushi Family, Chen's Former Residence, and Zhongjia Guild Hall, as well as countless Ming and Qing buildings along the street, with cornices, white walls and Ming and Qing styles, constitute a picture of Ming and Qing ink painting.
Third, there are many rivers and ports, many rocks and many teahouses. Zhujiajiao is the hometown of water. There are many bridges, rivers and ports, and there are countless cable boats and stones beside them. Various water bridges, various cable boats and stones are all over the rivers and alleys of the town. The unique landscapes of these water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are interesting and intriguing when carefully observed. It is simply a synthesis of history, cultural relics, architecture, customs and art. There are "double-sided riverbanks" with protruding stone revetments, "single-sided riverbanks" with recessed stone revetments, and even "invisible river ports" where people enter from the front door and the river banks exit from the back of the house. The granite relief cable boat stone embedded in the stone barge in the water lane is dazzling and interesting. Some carved into horns, some carved into swords, some carved into monsters, some carved into wishful thinking, showing auspicious and simple beauty. These long-standing carving arts add more charm to the ancient town. There are more than a dozen teahouses in the ancient town, including the newly-built Fangshengqiao Teahouse, the old club Teahouse, the antique temple building, the door panel facade, several tables and benches, simple and cheap farmhouse teahouses, and the most interesting and gratifying thing is that the teahouses are open to cruise ships.
Zhujiajiao, a famous town, has beautiful water, ancient bridges, strange streets and exquisite gardens. It's hard to explain why you can't walk on the ancient stone street, explore the deep alleys, take the arched stone bridge and take a boat. How can we reflect the feeling that "the boat is on the water and people are traveling in the illustrated world"? !
Appearance:
Zhujiajiao, known as "Venice of Shanghai", is the best preserved ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze River in Shanghai. Zhujiajiao had a village market as early as 1700 years ago during the Three Kingdoms period, and it became a bustling market town with merchants and fireworks in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

Every morning, before the fog disappears, the newly opened teahouses under Fangsheng Bridge in Zhujiajiao and beside Caogang River are full of laughter and customers. People who come here for tea have fixed seats. No matter whether it is windy or rainy, the owners of the seats will always be the same, both the old farmers selling vegetables and the ordinary people in the town. A fried dough stick, a bowl of greasy toppings and a pot of boiling "black tea" are not as rich and leisurely as Guangdong morning tea. Tea drinkers talk about social news while eating, and talk about the business and development of the town while drinking, mostly discussing the changes in current policies and life, and more exchanging various information with each other. Occasionally, some "passers-by" in the city will come to the teahouse to rest, drink alone, overlook the Xiushui Castle Peak separated by a river and enjoy the deep homesickness.

Book weng Zhou Tuoxing, who is it? Old people are also "book" old people. He is 70 years old and has more than 3,400 books at home, including works by literary giants such as Lu Xun, Mo Bosang, Tolstoy, romain rolland and Goncharov. He once said a philosophical saying: "There are books at home. Don't let them sleep, but drain them of nutrients."

Yao Daren, an avid bookworm, is an associate professor. His collection of books is very distinctive, specializing in insurance books, which are everywhere in ancient and modern China and abroad. In the early days of liberation, he served as a cadre of the national insurance company, and he still prefers the insurance major. His family's insurance books are often borrowed by insurance companies. Fans come to the left, not Buddhist believers, but have a soft spot for Buddhism. There are four boxes of Buddhist scriptures at home, and the abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple often comes to his house to copy them.
There are many book collectors in Xiaozhujiajiao, and the variety of books has reached a dazzling level. Its social effect has surpassed the ancient town itself and attracted the attention of relevant people at home and abroad. Not long ago, I didn't know how the Japanese got this information. I led a group of professors from Osaka University in Japan to collect folk customs of Zhujiajiao, and offered to communicate with some book collectors. Zhujiajiao sent three bookworms from Book weng to learn from Japanese friends. The three masters lived up to expectations and communicated with the Japanese for two days with profound knowledge, rich experience and supercilious attitude. I opened my eyes, surprised the Japanese and aroused great interest. Let's meet again next year.
