Wuzhen is actually the Dongzha scenic spot that has been opened; Tashi was restored and opened to the public.

You have to take a ferry to get into Tashi. It is the most accurate to describe Tashi with "harmony". Tashi consists of 12 small islands connected by more than 70 small bridges. The density of rivers and the number of stone bridges rank first in China. For example, Tongji Bridge and Renji Bridge are adjacent at right angles. No matter which bridge you stand by, you can see another bridge at the mouth of the bridge, so it is called "bridge among bridges". "Li Qiao Bridge" is the most beautiful ancient bridge scenery in Wuzhen, and it can be called a unique bridge scenery.

Tashi has many "old foundations"-several kilometers of old streets, Qingshi Road, and half of the houses are on the water. There are several handmade things to look at: first, the handmade sauce workshop, where the pot-stewed vegetables in the town taste good, largely because of the soy sauce produced and sold by ourselves. The price is not cheap, a bottle of ordinary soy sauce 25 yuan; The second type is a raw iron pan, which is cast by hand. 99 yuan's iron pots are said to be the most popular; The third is silk. Yida Temple was founded in the early years of Guangxu, and visitors can operate it on the old silk reeling machine.

When night falls, drinking a little wine, watching singing on the balcony on the other side, or putting a few lotus lanterns by the water will be fascinating. Photography lovers should never forget to bring a tripod. There are still some folk activities here. At that time, after dressing, women each took a crock and decocted medicine, and walked in teams. When crossing the bridge, they threw the crock into the river, thinking that it would bless the New Year without disease or disaster. In modern times, the act of throwing medicine cans has disappeared, and carrying lanterns across the bridge has become a holiday amusement and blessing activity.

Tashi's hotels and homestays are also very special. Shells are Ming and Qing dynasties, with air conditioning, direct drinking water, natural gas, broadband network, satellite TV and so on. Tourists shuttle between ancient and modern times and enjoy another kind of "harmony". Tashi Ancient Street also "hides" the most modern places of entertainment and rest, such as the advanced business hall, SPA health center and bar.

Jiangnan baichuang hall

Jiangnan Hundred Bed Museum is the first museum in China that specializes in collecting and displaying ancient beds in Jiangnan. Located at No.210, Wuzhen East Street, also known as Zhaojiating, with an area of about 1200 square meters, including dozens of ancient beds in the south of the Yangtze River in Ming and Qing Dynasties and modern times. From wealthy businessmen to ordinary people, there are all kinds of wooden beds, from one room and one bed to multiple rooms and one bed (including dressing rooms, bathrooms, servant rooms, etc.). ) This exhibition is the epitome of China's bed culture, which has the luxury of aristocrats and the frugality of ordinary people.

In the first exhibition hall of the museum, there are: large tubular frame beds for horseshoes and so on. The wooden frame structure is adopted, the shape is simple and simple, the proportion is balanced, the line image of furniture modeling is emphasized, and the distinctive artistic style is reflected. At the same time, the color and texture characteristics of hardwood are fully utilized, and wood paint is used instead of carving, which is natural. In the second exhibition hall, there are beds such as Qingbu Qiangong Bed, which are made of excellent materials, complex technology and excellent production. Among them, Qingbu Qiangong Bed is known as "the bed of the town hall", which is made of boxwood, with a length of 2 17 cm, a depth of 366 cm and a height of 292 cm, with three folds in front and back. This bed has been used three times.

These beautifully carved ancient beds with a long history can be described as dizzying in Jiangnan Hundred Beds Museum. Some are exquisitely carved, unique in style, and some are luxuriously decorated and magnificent, all of which are excellent wooden beds in Jiangnan area. People can't help sighing the profoundness of China culture. At the same time, it also reflects the superb technological level, understanding of art and rich imagination of structural modeling of the working people in China.

Look at the Hundred Bed Pavilion, not to find out how much it can hold, but to taste the rich history and life connotation of the load on the bed. Or seek peace, or seek more children ... when the bed can be carved like this, people must be peaceful and happy. This is the mentality of ancient China people.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces

Jiangsu and Zhejiang Branch, known as Zhejiang Branch in Ming Dynasty, is a unique government agency in Wuzhen history. He is responsible for patrolling salt and catching thieves, and also manages local lawsuits, commonly known as Er Fu yamen. It lasted more than 370 years from its establishment in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty to its cancellation in the early years of the Republic of China.

Wuzhen is located at the junction of two provinces (Zhejiang and Jiangsu), three provinces (Jiaxing, Huzhou and Suzhou) and seven counties (Tongxiang, Shimen, Xiushui, Wucheng, Gui 'an, Wujiang and Zhenze), with dense population and criss-crossing rivers and ports, which makes it difficult to govern foreign officials. In the 19th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1540), Shi Ru, the former deputy envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi, advocated the separation of county and government, but failed. The Ministry suggested that a judge should be added in the town to supervise and manage, and a library department should be set up to the east of Putin Temple. Qin Long was a former official for two years (1568), and often had other committees. He was not stationed in Wuzhen, but actually in the county seat, so he was accused of being redundant and asked to be laid off. In the third year of Wanli (1575), due to the rampant salt thieves around Wuzhen, Zhu Bingru, Governor Xie and Governor Xie were allowed to participate in politics. According to the meeting, they added a member of the General Arrest and knowledgeable person. Qin gave a pass to "patrol salt thief and knowledgeable person", while Changchuan was stationed in Qiwu Town, focusing on catching thieves, taking charge of water conservancy salt law and accepting word lawsuits at will. So the original campus was expanded and called Zhejiang Branch.

At the beginning of Qing dynasty, it was built in Ming dynasty, and it is still the same as Canada. In the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647), the leather was ruled and the house was completely destroyed. In the first year of Kangxi (1662), Zhang Wulie, the prospective guard, moved the chief inspector of Huzhou Prefecture to Wuzhen and gave him a pass to "control Jiangsu and Zhejiang salt to patrol thieves". Dong Hance, a native of the town, donated the vacant room on the left side of Xizhong Bridge as a souvenir, and the famous governor detained Tongzhi Department. In 189, officials returned to the government. In the third year of Yongzheng (1725), the gentry stole peace with salt, wrote to the General Political Department, arrested Tongzhi, and stayed in Wuzhen. The following year, Governor Li Jue wrote to change Huzhou's common sense of catching thieves to Wuzhen's common sense of catching thieves, and there was no danger of returning to the county. In the sixth year (1728), he bought the old residence of Tang, a scholar in Qiaoxi, and set aside official silver to rebuild it as a tower, named Jiangsu and Zhejiang Branch. In the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), soldiers destroyed the lobby and were rebuilt in Tongzhi for four years (1864). In the Republic of China, Tongzhi was established and became an empty house. In four years (19 15), the office was demolished and gradually became a residential building.

In 2004, Jiangsu and Zhejiang branch offices were rebuilt according to the former Tongzhi site in the Qing Dynasty to preserve historical traces.

Jiangnan Folk Museum

The Jin family in Dongzha used to be a rich family here, but now their residence has made a record of life in Jiangnan. It shows the folk customs of Wuzhen from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, such as birthday celebration etiquette, marriage and childbearing customs, and Chinese New Year. Wonderful wax figures have created a series of weddings and funerals, and expectations for a better life are everywhere. The costume customs museum shows the folk costume customs in the south of the Yangtze River more than a hundred years ago by different means, such as objects, wax figures and photos, and can glimpse the epitome of history from the style of combining Chinese and western.

Through the different living customs of Wuzhen people in different solar terms in a year, such as Spring Festival greetings, walking on the bridge at Lantern Festival, Qingming Shixiang, weighing people in the long summer, eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, drying insects in the sky, Yuanshui Lantern Festival, enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, climbing the Chongyang Mountain, and worshiping ancestors from winter to the sun, the festival hall vividly displays a long scroll of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The wedding custom museum focuses on the wedding ceremony and displays lively wedding scenes through the couple, matchmaker, parents, sedan chair, dowry and other physical figures. Shousutang takes the birthday of the elderly as the theme, and displays the Chinese tradition of respecting the elderly through auspicious scenes and unique birthday items such as calligraphy and painting, birthday cake, birthday peach and birthday noodles.

Jiangnan woodcarving exhibition hall

It used to be the residence of the Xu family in Dongzha, also known as Baihua Hall, which is famous for its exquisite wood carving. It carved beams and painted buildings, especially the figures, birds and animals on the lintel windowsill. Through round carving, flat carving, through carving and hollowing out carving, its skills were superb. Today, its main room and some rooms display a wealth of ancient China woodcarving products.

The wood carvings in the Wood Carving Museum are rich in materials, including folklore such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" and "Guo Ziyi's Birthday", life scenes such as "fishing", "fighting crickets" and "beating gongs and drums", as well as traditional patterns such as "dragons and phoenixes are auspicious", "squirrels eat grapes" and "Mei Zhu Lan Ju", with simple shapes and exquisite expression techniques. Among them, the carved beam of Guo Ziyi's birthday riding door is 4 meters long and 40 centimeters wide. It is carved from a whole piece of camphor wood, carving the famous birthday scene of Tang Zhongxing. The characters are lifelike and lifelike, and some merchants have invested hundreds of thousands to buy them. Jiangnan woodcarving exhibition hall is rich in collection, strong in popularity and rich in cultural connotation. Only by careful tasting can we appreciate the profound woodcarving culture in China for thousands of years and appreciate a wonderful flower of oriental civilization.

Yuliuliang coin house

Yu Liuliang, a native of Wuzhen, is a big coin collector. He has written more than ten academic monographs such as Spending Money in China, Appreciation and Collection of China, Coin, Coin Essay, Introduction to Coin Science and Coin in World Circulation. He has painstakingly collected for 40 years and has nearly 26,000 kinds of coins from more than 230 countries and regions in the world, including metal coins, paper money and pocket money. Materials include gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, aluminum, lead, antimony, pottery, nickel, paper, bamboo, bone, glass, plastic, etc. 15. The coin museum exhibits in batches all the fine works that Mr. Yu has collected for decades. In this small blue tile house, coins are books of history. A cursory glance at these flowers will give you a glimpse of a huge coin world.

wenchangge

There is a pavilion by the river in front of Lizhi Academy, called Wenchang Pavilion. Between the academy and the pavilion, there is only a wide Guanqian Street. In the past, when literati went to Wenchang Pavilion, they usually came by boat accompanied by servants. The boat is moored by your river port, the scholar goes upstairs, and the servants sit on the benches on both sides of the aisle to wait on them. When the imperial examination was abolished in the late Qing Dynasty, Wenchang Pavilion became a place for townspeople to play, and at the same time, it was also a news dissemination center for townspeople because of its long-term central position.

As a part of Mao Dun Memorial Hall, Lizhi Academy will be restored as it is, and Wenchang Pavilion will also reproduce the charm of flying over the eaves.

Maodun former residence

Mao Dun's former residence is the only national key cultural relics protection unit in Jiaxing. Located at Guanqian Street 17 on the east side of Wuzhen River. It is a four-bay, two-story and two-story wooden building with a total area of 450 square meters. The former residence is divided into two units, East and West, which was purchased by Mao Dun's great-grandfather twice. The west room of the old house facing the street is Mao Dun's home school. The interior layout of the former residence is simple, but it exudes the unique Jing Ya flavor of the Shen family.

It is said that Mao Dun's former residence is not his ancestral home, but his ancestors lived in the countryside of Wuzhen. The house here was built by himself after he became famous. The former residence includes bedroom, study, dining room and other buildings, and the furniture and layout are still the same as when Mr. Wang first lived.

Xiatongshan former residence

Less than 100 meters away from Mr. Shen Yanbing's former residence, there is a courtyard for everyone to use, which is much larger than Shenzhai. In its hall, there is a portrait of an official. He is wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty and all kinds of flowers and feathers, just like a dynasty. After reading it, people are puzzled. When I asked, I realized that this person was Xia Tongshan, an official of the Tongguang Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. His mansion is the home of Xia Tongshan's grandfather, and there is also a story related to Yang Naiwu and Chinese cabbage.

Xia Tongshan was born in Qiantang, Zhejiang (now Hangzhou). Xia lost her mother since childhood, and her father's daughter is from Wuzhen, Tongxiang. After the marriage, the stepmother took care of Xia Tongshan as one of her own. Hangzhou was particularly hot when Xia Tongshan was a child, so he went to Wuzhen to study every summer. After a long time, Wuzhen became the second hometown of Xia Tongshan.

"Yang Naiwu and Chinese Cabbage", one of the four unsolved cases in the south of the Yangtze River, happened in Yuhang County, Hangzhou, only a hundred miles away from Wuzhen and Hangzhou. Xia Tongshan, the final judge of this case, is related to Yang Naiwu. It is said that Yang Naiwu's sister Yang Shuying was a servant of Xia Tongshan's stepmother when she was young. Under the guidance of Xia Tongshan, Yang Shuying went to the lobby of punishments to sue the court, and finally cleared the wrongs for Yang Naiwu. More importantly, the contradiction between Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Ci 'an is getting deeper and deeper. At this time, the officials in charge of Hangzhou Prefecture and Yuhang County were all confidants of Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Ci 'an, with the support of Prince Gong, took the case of Yang Naiwu and Pakchoi as a handle to investigate and deal with more than 0/00 Hangzhou officials/KLOC, which dealt a heavy blow to Cixi's influence in Jiangnan and made Yang Naiwu and Pakchoi out of jail.

After the case of "Yang Naiwu and Chinese Cabbage" was solved, Yang Naiwu spent the rest of his life saving the world. Ge Xiugu, a Chinese cabbage, came to Wuzhen, Tongxiang, and came to grandma Xia Tongshan's house. In order to repay Xia Tongshan for saving his life, she is willing to make his bed, serve him in the twilight for more than three months, and then go to a nun in Wuzhen for a haircut. Nowadays, the hall where the portrait of Xia Tongshan hangs is the place where Xia Tongshan and Chinese cabbage make friends.

Ancient stage

The stage of Xiuzhen Temple is an affiliated building of Taoist Temple. It was built in the 14th year of Qingganlong (1749). Like Xiuzhen Temple, it was repeatedly destroyed, but it has been maintained since it was rebuilt in 19 19. The stage covers an area of 204 square meters, facing Guanqian Street of Xiuzhen Temple in the north, Dongshi River in the south and Xinghua Bridge in the east. The stage is resting on the top of the mountain, with upturned cornices, solemn and elegant. Sparrows between beams and columns are exquisite wood carvings with high artistic value. The platform has two floors, the bottom is surrounded by masonry, and there are side doors and front doors. The side door leads to the river port, and there is a small ladder behind the ground floor leading to the balcony, or you can get down from the river port to the boat through the flap door. The balcony is divided into two parts, followed by the dressing room, carved with low windows, spacious and bright; The front is the stage, facing the square.

In the old days, there were couplets on the pillars on both sides of the stage, and this stage also had a pair of couplets: "A gong and a drum awaken the human dream of spring;" Gong Shang 2, there are immortals in the sky. "There is a banner hanging above the middle" Take history as a mirror ". In the past, we welcomed the meeting on the fifth day of the first month, the meeting at Dongyue Temple on March 28th, and the meeting at Marshal Wen on May 15, etc. They are all performed on the stage to entertain the gods in the concept of fixing the truth. There are usually some "penalty kicks". Punishment drama is a traditional method to solve disputes in Wuzhen. If someone damages public welfare and causes public outrage, the parties will pay the troupe to perform in front of the gods to show repentance.

1937, the Second Shanghai Salvation Army came to Wuzhen to publicize the Anti-Japanese War and performed the famous drama "Put Down Your Whip" on the stage at that time. Now, the stage has resumed its old lively scene. There is a performance every morning from 8 am to 8 pm 10, which is Tongxiang Flower Drum Opera (Tongxiang local opera).

Huiyuan pawnshop

Between Yingjia Bridge and Nanhua Bridge, the fa? ade of five bays, upstairs and downstairs, and the counter with a height of 1.8 meters are magnificent. According to the Records of Qing Wu Town, there were at most 13 pawn shops in Wuzhen, and there were 7 before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. 193 1, only Huiyuan dang 1 is still supported. Before the Japanese invasion, the standard house could not get out and soon closed down. Since Huiyuan closed, the history of Wuzhen pawnshop has ended. Today, Huiyuan is still in the old place.

The pawnshop is surrounded by high walls, and the foot of the outer wall is built with a stone with a head high, so that thieves can't climb over the wall to dig holes, and there are floors above the roof that are guarded day and night. The gate is made of thick ginkgo wood, which is not easy to catch fire and is covered with iron sheet. There are solid bolts and floor bolts in it, so it is difficult for outsiders to break in. Entering the imperial palace is based on loyalty and also has the desire to exorcise evil spirits. The headquarters is the shop lobby, which is a trading place for collecting and exchanging gifts. Except Huiyuan Dang, there are high counters and wooden fences. When the pawnbroker delivers clothes, let the pawnbroker condescend to make an offer lower than others. The back is the warehouse. In order to prevent fire, Dai and Dai's houses are not connected, and there are many seven stone jars filled with water in the yard, which are called "Taiping jars".

Huiyuan Party was founded by Xu Dong's ninth grandson, Xu Huanzao (Mingxiang) in the Daoguang period. Xu Dong has abundant funds and is good at doing good deeds. Judging from the following two things, he pawned not only to make money. First, there are no high counters and wooden fences, so both parties can negotiate the price on an equal footing when trading. Second, every year1February (from the first day to the end of the month), the standard households below 1000 do not bear interest, and the standard value is relatively wide, even stone mortars can be included in the standard, which is completely to take care of the poor. Therefore, there is no one in Xu Dong, Wuzhen.

Wuzhen business circle is centered on the central city, with four gates in the southeast and northwest, and has its own center, forming a relatively complete commercial network. For example, the center of Dongzha is Caishen Bay, the largest distribution center of aquatic products in the town, and the largest wholesale retailer in Wuzhen, and the east and west parts of Xu are also here. Next to the Lins' shop, there is Jinhezhai, which deals in goods from north to south, and its reputation is extremely prosperous, and it still exists today.

Annual precipitation 1200mm, mainly spring rain and plum rain, and typhoons hit in summer and autumn.

The best time to travel in Wuzhen The climate in Wuzhen is not much different from that in Jiaxing and Xitang. The most beautiful seasons in a year are spring and autumn. Please avoid going to Wuzhen at noon in summer. The dazzling white sunlight comes down directly, and there is no balcony to cover it, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. The most beautiful time of the day is early morning and evening. In the morning, the river will be covered with thin fog, like a dream. In the evening, the sun sets and the tourists are exhausted. A living Wuzhen appeared in front of us.
