Pinghu is located in the Yangtze River Delta, in the northeast of Hangjiahu Plain, bordering Hangzhou Bay in the south and Shanghai in the east. Its geographical coordinates are between 31 degrees 35 minutes-52 minutes north latitude and 121 degrees 57 minutes-121 degrees 16 minutes east longitude (excluding the sea area). The land area is 537 square kilometers, the sea area is 1186 square kilometers, and the coastline is 27 kilometers long; The cultivated land area is 471,111 mu. The total population is 511,111.
Pinghu has a long history. According to the cultural relics unearthed from the Dafentang site, ancestors lived here as early as 6,111 years ago. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the hometown of Wuyuan, the state of Yue. Haiyan County was established in the 25th year of Qin Dynasty (222 BC), and now pinghu city is a part of Haiyan County. At the end of the Qin Dynasty or the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the county fell into Zhehu Lake and moved to Wuyuan Township (now East Lake in Danghu Town, pinghu city). In the second year of Yongjian in the Eastern Han Dynasty (127), the county fell into Danghu and moved to Guyi Mountain in Qijing Township (near Zhapu today). In the seventh year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (341), the county government moved from Guyi Mountain to Ma 'ai City (now southeast of Wuyuan Town, Haiyan County). In the fifth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1431), the four townships of Dayi, Wuyuan, Qijing and Huating were separated from Haiyan County, and they were built as Pinghu County. Danghu Town, the county seat, belonged to Jiaxing Prefecture, and was transferred to Zhejiang Chengxuan Bureau of Political Affairs. Because of its place, it was trapped as Danghu, and "the earth vein grave began later, and the trapped people gradually flattened, hence the name Pinghu". In the future, the construction will remain unchanged for a long time and the territory will be basically stable.
in June, 1991, with the approval of the State Council, Pinghu county was revoked and pinghu city was established. In 2111, the division of administrative villages was adjusted, and the original 286 administrative villages were adjusted to 138. In 2114, towns were removed to build streets and some administrative divisions were adjusted, and the original and 11 towns were adjusted to 3 streets and 7 towns, namely Danghu Street, Zhongdai Street, Caoqiao Street, Zhapu Town, Xindai Town, xinchang town, Huanggu Town, Quantang Town, Guangchen Town and Lindai Town.
On the plain of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is famous for its Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens, there is a pearl of the first residence hall in Qing Dynasty-Moshi Manor in Pinghu, Zhejiang Province. As one of the six halls in the south of the Yangtze River (Moshi Manor, Wangshi Garden, Caiyitang, Luzhai, Tuisi Garden and Chunzailou), Pinghu Moshi Manor has experienced three centuries, and is a key cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province and a civilized tourist scenic spot in Jiaxing City.
Mo's Manor was built in the 23rd year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1897) by Mo Fangmei, a noble gentleman in Pinghu in the late Qing Dynasty. The whole project lasted for three years and cost 112,111 silver. It was completed in 1899. It is a large-scale closed ancient residential complex, and three generations of Mo Fangmei have lived here for more than half a century. The whole manor covers an area of seven acres, with a building area of 2,611 square meters. There are 77 large and small houses. The main structure is left, middle and right groups, and the layout is symmetrical and flexible. Exquisitely carved beam eaves components, gorgeous and changeable porch hanging down, exquisite and delicate brick carvings, murals, ridge sculptures and so on abound. The three gardens during the decoration period are even more picturesque, small and exquisite, moving heaven and shrinking earth, making people pleasing to the eye. In terms of furnishings, it integrates furniture, calligraphy and painting, and antique utensils to concentrate the essence of Jiangnan culture.
Throughout the manor, the buildings are high and low in order, patchwork and natural, showing the beauty of China's ancient architecture. Its complete architecture, rich physical objects and typical style are unique in the south of the Yangtze River, which has won universal praise and reputation from Chinese and foreign tourists and is known as the "Forbidden City in the south of the Yangtze River". At the same time, its special artistic charm has also captivated many friends in the film and television industry. Since 1981, there have been nearly 1,111 movies and TV shows such as A Dream of Red Mansions, Spring and Autumn Annals, Rain of Wutong, Yuan Ye, Half-life Destiny and Painting the Soul. In the past, the luxurious houses of the great families have become an excellent place for leisure and cultural tourism today.
East Lake, which is formed by the confluence of nine rivers, is located on the east side of Pinghu City. It was called "Kowloon Port" in ancient times, and it looks like a picture of "Dragon Play Pearl" when viewed from above. There are beautiful scenery around the lake, many places of interest and historical sites, and rich natural and human resources. The ancient poem praised: "Jiuli Lake is bright and Jiuli City, Jiuchuan Ring is full of blue smoke, and the tributaries are remote and the dragons are combined, and a threshold is opened in the great immersion."
The planned total area of East Lake New District is 8 square kilometers, and the planned area of the first phase is 4 square kilometers. The investment in infrastructure construction, demolition and resettlement is estimated to be 1.5 billion yuan. The functional orientation of the new district is a comprehensive area integrating tourism, leisure, cultural festivals and the development and construction of medium and high-grade houses, with the construction of three-ring and three-radiation roads, 32 bridges, eight scenic spots and a large number of public facilities. The East Lake Scenic Area within the First Ring Road is the core of the East Lake New District. On the basis of absorbing the essence of the ancient "Ten Scenes of East Lake" and integrating the modern garden concept, the "Eight Scenes of East Lake" have been newly built, namely, "the spring scenery of Nautilus Lake, the pearl playing in Kowloon, the book pile in Nancun, the tower shadow hanging down the rainbow, the mountain case is small and green, the pastoral singing in Beiyuan and the fish in xipu", all of which are open.
the beauty of Pinghu lies in its water. The biggest feature of Donghu New District is water, and its water area is more than 1,511 mu. The construction of East Lake New District focuses on water. Scenic spots are built near the water, buildings stand by the water, people live by the water, highlight the lake scenery and water town culture, and at the same time build a large area of green space, pay attention to the harmony of the overall environment, and form a unique urban garden that integrates the characteristics of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River with modern flavor.
Hanshan is located in the south of Liulitang in the east of the lake, northeast of Dongbaota Bridge. The East Lake is a plain with no hills. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Lu Zongdao (966-1129), the county magistrate of Haiyan, visited Danghu for the second time during his term of office. He saw the beautiful scenery of the East Lake and was very fond of it. He wanted to stop being an official in the future and came to live in Danghu. He later became an official and involved in political affairs. After his appointment, he settled in Danghu and built Sigao Garden, and Nangao Garden is just south of Liulitang. In order to create a landscape, a river was dug on the flat ground, and the excavated soil was piled into a hill. The mountain shape was like several cases, so it was named "Case Mountain". The Records of Danghu Terrestrial Records recorded: "Case Mountain is also the former site of Sunangao," Jane Su, who was in posthumous title, Lu Zongdao. The mountain is only a few feet high. Trees are planted on the mountain, and stone oranges are placed for people to sit and rest. A wooden bridge is built on the river to facilitate tourists' exchanges. Song Lu Yinglong's "Idle Windows Including Different Records" notes: "There is a land in the middle of the lake, and the tower is built to make a case of Feng Shui, and people call it a case of mountain." In the past, people thought that the city was bred by mountains and rivers, and the city with mountains and water had aura. Generally, the hill on the side of the city was called the case mountain. Lu Zongdao built the case mountain, which has its profound meaning and expectation. Sure enough, Pinghu County was established here in the fifth year of Xuande, 411 years later. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Dongyang wrote the poem Xiao Cui on an Mountain, saying, "The distant mountains are green, and the jade case is green. It's long and refreshing. Don't you see that Leyouyuan Scenic Resort is easy to dusk, although the sunset is so empty. " He compared the case mountain to several cases made of jade, and compared the case mountain area to "Leyouyuan Scenic Resort". Ming Shen Maojia said: "It's misty and sunny, and the bow shoes are wet, and it's sunny to go to the mountain peak." Looking at the Pearl Tower from the beginning, the port is all about Kowloon. " It is indicated that the mountains and grass are deep and the trees are luxuriant, and you can see the beautiful scenery of the Pearl Building in East Lake and the confluence of Jiuchuan. There used to be a large area of mulberry forest near the mountain, and "black-backed crucian carp" was produced in the river port of the mountain. Nowadays, it is still circulated among many elderly people: "Black-backed crucian carp comes out of the mountain, eating in spring and eating in autumn, and getting fat everywhere in winter." However, after thousands of years of wind and rain, the mountain was razed to the ground in the upsurge of filling the river and making land, and it has become a green field.
In order to build Xiaocui Scenic Spot in Hanshan and reshape the landscape, the original area was reduced by 48 mu by digging to expand the lake by 151 meters, so that the diameter of the east and west lakes of East Lake was more than 311 meters and the net area of the scenic spot was 116 mu. Rebuild the case mountain, 12 meters high, into a case shape, and plant big trees on the mountain to increase the mountain momentum. The scenic area is surrounded by mountains and waters, and is divided into four areas: the bamboo forest area is at the south foot of the mountain; Ginkgo Fengxiang forest area is at the northern foot of an mountain; Hongmei Lamei Garden is at the northern end of the scenic spot; The unique cherry blossom garden is located at the southern end of the scenic spot, with peach trees and willows planted widely along the lakeside, showing the unique features of Jiangnan water town.
the main scenic spots are the stage of Dong Tian Shegu, the shopping and leisure street of Liuqiao Qingshi, the large-scale laser music fountain, the golden beach with a length of 1,111 meters and a width of 31 meters near the lake, as well as the water-watching long dike, the sparse forest square, the bamboo forest water path and the wind chime square. In the ancient "Ten Scenes of East Lake", it was the "Dong Tian Society Drum" that described the farmers' harvest celebration activities, and the poem said, "When the sun rises, it is east to the east. Fill in the drums and leave the society. Cut the fat sheep and beat the strong ones. After singing in the afternoon, the social gods are happy. I hope it will be a good storm every year, and the clothes will be eroded and smashed, and the social gods will play the drums. " What he depicts is not natural scenery, but people's feelings and customs, and it is also a human landscape. Therefore, he designed a stage of "Dong Tian Shegu" in the middle of the scenic spot, with a glass stage surrounded by fountains in front and a large area of granite relief in the background, deliberately reflecting the activity landscape of "Shegu" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In ancient times, "she" was the god of the land, and the god of offering sacrifices to the earth was also called "Zuo she". "Zuo she" was a popular custom among the people in old Pinghu, especially in the east of the lake. There are "Spring Club" and "Autumn Club", with "Autumn Club" as the majority, which is the fifth day after beginning of autumn. It is one of the most important activities of the villagers in a year, and it is also superstitious to invite folk artists to beat gongs and drums to sacrifice to the land gods to ensure a bumper harvest. At the same time, there are various folk recreational activities such as listening to artists' storytelling until late at night, and then sharing the sacrificial ceremony as usual after the sacrifice. "Six Bridges and Clear City" is also one of the ancient "Ten Scenes of East Lake". In the examination of "Plum Poetry", Qing Jiyou noted: "There are nine schools in the lake, which are divided into six bridges." Therefore, it refers to the six bridges around the East Lake. The lofty Tingmei poem said: "I once remembered that there are six bridges in the West Lake, and the East Lake seems to be waist-high. There was a hurricane in Xinqing City, and I bought fresh wicker. " At present, East Lake has newly built a road around the lake with nearly 3 kilometers, and the number of bridges exceeds six. Therefore, a leisure shopping street named "Six Bridges and Clear City" has been specially set up in Xiaocui Scenic Area of Hanshan to become a scenic spot. It is close to Dongbaota Bridge, with a group of modern commercial shopping and catering service buildings, and there are also six bridges around it. The scenic spot is surrounded by the "Bamboo Forest Water Path" river, and small bridges are connected, which is both a landscape and a scenic spot.
Pinghu is a land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River, and fishermen's fish production accounts for a large proportion, so xipu Fish Village has also become one of the "Ten Scenes of East Lake" in ancient times. Fish net is a kind of square fishing net supported by bamboo, such as lifting net, pulling net and pond net, which fishermen often use. The poet uses fish net to reflect fishermen's life and work. According to the map of East Lake in Pinghu County Records, which will be published tomorrow, "xipu" is marked in the area around Jiefang Bridge. In history, fishermen took boats as their home and fished everywhere for a living. At night, they rocked their boats to places where they often met to dry their nets, and their lives were very hard. Therefore, in history, xipu was not a place for fishing, but a place for fishermen to gather, dry their nets or spend the night in huts. The poem "Fish in xipu" written by lofty Tingmei says: "The sun has set on the fish, and you will be a fisherman in the hut. Nong paddles short oars across xipu, and a clear stream is like a song. " In the poet's pen, although fishermen live in huts and lead a hard life, they still sing fish songs and paddle happily. In the 1951s, in order to change the situation that fishermen took boats as their homes and fished on the move, the people's government let fishermen settle ashore and live in new houses. The area around Jiefang Bridge "xipu" was the place where fishermen were placed. In the past few years, fishermen had a better life, and they built buildings one after another and lived a well-off life. Most people's fishing methods also changed, mainly engaged in fixed-point farming in the outer pond and built rafts for stocking. We built the xipu Fish Village Scenic Area in Xiaoyingzhou, just near the "xipu" where fishermen used to fish and dry their nets.
There are three continents in the East Lake, one is Nautilus Island, also known as Baotawei, the other is Dayingzhou, which is known as Dahudun, and the third is Xiaoying Island, commonly known as Xiaohudun. They stand on their feet, each winning its own way, which greatly adds color to the scenery of the East Lake. Xiaoyingzhou is an island isolated in the water in the north of East Lake, with an area of 5 mu. After the county was established in the Ming Dynasty, it was not developed for a long time. It was not until Emperor Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty (1732) that Fang Yigong, the magistrate of Pinghu, returned to the county seat by boat, passed by Xiaoyingzhou, and berthed ashore. It was summer, and there was a grass temple among the wild weeds. There were several female nuns living in it, and their livelihood was difficult, and their situation was bleak. Seeing the excellent location of this continent, they donated money to build three flat houses to worship Guanyin, and willows were planted on the continent. At that time, he named Xiaozhou Parrot Island, but later it was renamed Xiaoyingzhou because it had the same name as Baota Weizhou. Liu Guoheng, a magistrate of a county in the 27th year of Qing Dynasty (1762), built a three-storey Wenchang Pavilion here, but it was not completed. In the 41st year of Qianlong (1776), Liu Yantian, a magistrate of a county, rebuilt it and renamed it "Jingyitang". His intention was "to continue the friendship with those who are ambitious." At that time, Pinghu imperial examination was very prosperous, and in the past ten years, people were ranked second in the list, exploring flowers in the middle and solving yuan in the middle. In the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong, Wang Heng, the magistrate of a county, was rebuilt. In the third year of Jiaqing (1798), Lu Gongdou and Wu Pingzhai rebuilt Wenchang Pavilion. In the eighteenth year of Guangxu, Yingzhou Academy was built in Xiaoyingzhou. According to Mr. Xu Gongshi's memory in 1992, "Xiaoyingzhou in the northeast of East Lake needs to be ferried. The mirror is wide, the Wenchang Pavilion has three rooms facing the sky, flowers and trees are sparse, and the surrounding flower walls make it cool to enter. I remember drinking with my father, friends and elders here ... ". Lu Weizhao's poem "The Picture of the East Lake" says: "Endless years are flowing eastward, and I am still glad that there is an old hill in the picture. A hundred miles of mulberry trees come to an old dream, and a lake is in the same boat. Tears came to life after the silence, and I vividly remembered my childhood bamboo and horse swimming. Don't sigh that the past dust has passed away with the water, and remember that Zeng Wenhui will be in Xiaozhou. "
In xipu Fish Grove Scenic Area, the Jingyitang will be rebuilt, the fishing platform will be set up, and the traditional objects related to fishermen's production activities, such as fish nets, hemp fiber, hats, etc., will be set up. A promenade will be built outside the continent, which can be used for fishing or fishing. Ornamental flowers and shrubs are mainly planted on the continent, making it a good place for viewing and sightseeing.
The completion of Nancun Shudui Scenic Area makes up for the fact that the Nancun Shudui in the "Ten Scenery of East Lake" in ancient times only remains in its name, reproduces the charm and artistic conception described in many poems, and builds it by the lake, forming a group of classical garden buildings of Jiangnan Academy, and reappearing the fir scenery of ten cedar pavilions in Zhangyuan in Qing Dynasty, making it the most independent system, classical charm and intriguing among the gardens built around the lake in East Lake Scenic Area.
The lakeside of the scenic spot is 241 meters long and covers an area of 25 mu. At the entrance of the scenic spot, there is a stone square with the inscription "Nancun Book Stack" written by Mr. Jia Cang, a famous calligrapher, and the column couplets on both sides are extracted from the couplets in the Qing Kangxi period of the Pearl Building in East Lake. The upper part is "The resort is from many handsome people," and the lower part is "There is no such good lake and mountain in other places." In fact, the name of Nancun Book Stack, also known as Nancun Bookstore, Nancun Academy and Lake Reading Stack, has a longer history than Pinghu County. During the period from Yuan Dynasty to Zhengnian (1341-1368), there was a Pinghu native named Hong Zhang, whose nickname was Nancun. He was fond of collecting books, reaching ten thousand volumes, and he was fond of reading. He built pavilions and gardens on the mound in the south of the county as a place for reading, enjoying the scenery and giving lectures, because his reading was not a dead book, and he did not give lectures as a "village pedant". According to the Records of Pinghu County, it is recorded that in 1553, Luo Nianan and six celebrities from Meilin, Jingchuan, Huangzhou, Longxi, Wulin and other places met in Danghu, and it was a famous academic in history to discuss "learning from things" and explore the truth of things in the "reading pile on the lake". Ming Li Dongyang's "Nan Cun Shu Dui" poem said: "Nan Cun Bookstore is full of books, and Nan Cun Shu Sheng.
