At the northern foot of Jiu Feng, on the bank of Dianshan Lake, there is a 47-square-kilometer folding fan-shaped town embedded in lakes and mountains. Some people compare her to Venice in Shanghai, while others compare her to a pearl beside Dianshan Lake. Now this bright pearl radiates more dazzling brilliance under the support of the national highway 3 18 in Jinyudai. This is the famous ancient town of Zhujiajiao. 199 1 was named as one of the first four famous cultural towns by the Shanghai municipal government in.
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, after inspecting Zhujiajiao, marveled at Zhujiajiao's rich cultural background, which is not only a treasure of Shanghai, but also a national treasure. Sanmao, a famous late 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. After visiting the ancient town of Zhujiajiao, Wu Bangguo, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, wrote the words Zhujiajiao, a historic town in China.
The natural scenery of small bridges and flowing water is the original Ming and Qing Street. The natural geographical location here can't help but be concerned by many film and television directors, one after another. 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 unexpectedly found a large number of Neolithic relics, which proved to be Majiabang 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 story of the excavation of Wu Dong's general Ganning's tomb in Ningbang, Dongxiang was published in the town's Julie Newspaper, which proved that Zhujiajiao had formed a village market more than 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 The Pearl Story: Today's 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, and businessmen are constantly flowing. In Tsinghua, Shui Mu, there are a large number of literati, whose envy makes the shore wind ancient, but there are more string songs than households. Although in Levin, he was crowned.
Comparable in the room. 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 used to be famous for the standard cloth industry in Jiangnan, and it was known as the giant town in Jiangnan. Sometimes, there is a poem that says: The land of plenty is busy at six o'clock, Nanqiao people avoid small patrols, and Liang Jing (Zhujing and Fengjing) is not as good as Zhu Jieting, and it is always unknown to see all the pictures. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Zhujiajiao rice industry rose, which promoted the prosperity of all walks of life. At Sanli Long Street, there were thousands of shops, old shops and famous shops, north and south department stores, all walks of life were complete, and the countryside stretched for hundreds of miles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so there was a saying that three wells (Zhujing, Fengjing and Jing Ling) were not as good as one corner (Zhujiajiao).
During the period of the Republic of China, the rice industry was at its peak, and the rice produced was better than the dried rice market, which was exported to overseas Beijing. When rice appeared, the peak reached 20,000-30,000 tons (1.50025 million tons), and 600 tons of rape were harvested every day. The rapeseed oil produced in Zhujiajiao is famous all over the world, including industry, handicraft industry, bank pawn, financial industry and rice mill. 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. The name of this mountain is Dianshan Mountain. Although the mountain is not high, it is famous. It is a vein of Tianmu Mountain in western Zhejiang. This mountain is the beginning, just like climbing a mountain.
Lake, with peaks, can enjoy a scene at night.
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, the high-low bridge, the miniature landscape bridge, the creaking Qijia bridge and the Yongfeng bridge commemorate the national humiliation.
The First Street is the first North Street in Shanghai during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After many vicissitudes, it is still preserved in such a primitive way. The unique structure of the scene is amazing. Sanlichang Street and the North Street with thousands of shops are lined with old shops and hung with red lanterns, making it the most lively old street in Jiangnan ancient town, 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 thousand-year-old Ginkgo biloba 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 the three treasures of Chenghuang 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 carvings of walls and doors. Its exquisite patterns, exquisite carvings and superb skills are amazing. The first museum is the Wang Chang Memorial Hall, with nearly 100 physical exhibits, such as the wax figure of Jinshi in the 19th year of Qing Qianlong and Wang Chang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Punishment, poetry and calligraphy, inscriptions, looms, old-fashioned beds, etc. 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. This is a place where students can study and plant in response to the name of the garden. Langfang has book city, Daoxiang village, pavilions, bridges and trees, halls and rooms, and more than 200 buildings and living rooms. 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 the alley is like entering a maze, full of fun, exploring the past and enjoying the hutong-style interest in the north, which has the same effect. In recent years, the ancient rural tourism is increasingly favored by foreigners and foreigners, and it is a precious virgin land that needs further development.
There are also three scenic spots in Zhujiajiao, an ancient town, that is, there are many celebrities, many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, many rivers and harbors, 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. Dozens of places, such as Sancha Fishing Village, Wang Chang's former residence, Fulv Annals, Guild Hall, Lujia, Chen's former residence and Zhongjia Guild Hall, as well as countless Ming and Qing architecture, cornices, tile white walls and Ming and Qing styles along the street, constitute the ink painting picture scroll of the Qing Dynasty.
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 two floodplains protruding from the stone revetment, one recessed into the stone revetment, and even an invisible riverbank. People enter from the front door and the floodplain exits 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, most of which are concentrated in the area of Fangshengqiao and North Street. There are luxurious newly-built Fangshengqiao Teahouse, old club Teahouse and antique Miaoqu Building. There are also door panels, tables and chairs, and simple and cheap farmhouse teahouses. The most interesting and comforting thing is that the teahouse is open to the cruise teahouse, which is divided into two floors, on the top of the cabin.
Zhujiajiao, a famous town, has beautiful water, ancient bridges, strange streets and exquisite gardens. If you don't set foot on the ancient stone street, explore the deep alleys, take the arched stone bridge and take the boat, it's hard to explain why people feel that they are traveling in a world of pictorial. !
Zhujiajiao, an ancient town with many bridges, lanes and corners, reveals an infinite cultural atmosphere of water towns. Zhujiajiao is beautiful and prosperous because of water, and has created countless heroes for hundreds of years. Today, Zhujiajiao people continue to extend the source of this long-standing culture. As a result, Zhujiajiao gave birth to many "characteristic corners", whether for self-entertainment or mass culture. In short, the "characteristic angle" Xiao He only shows sharp corners. Compared with cultural skills, stressing cultural taste, engaging in cultural entertainment and absorbing cultural connotation has become the lifestyle of Zhujiajiao people, just like green leaves lined with peony, which adds a lot of color to Zeguo water town. This is a rich cultural property.

Calligraphy and painting corner
Another cultural feature of Zhujiajiao Town. Today's painting and calligraphy lovers range from 84-year-old people to teenage dolls. Because of their hobbies, they consciously formed interest groups.

Fitness corner
To be exact, there are several fitness corners in Zhujiajiao, and the one next to the street garden is the most eye-catching. Every morning, some old people come here early, clapping their hands, twisting their necks, kicking their legs, boxing and doing morning exercises, all full of energy.

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.
