In the afternoon, when I approached the corner of the old street, I saw the newly-built arched street gate. I was a little disappointed when I looked into the street from the door. I'm afraid this old street is the "new street" on the old site.
Wait a minute, let's learn about its culture and history before entering the ancient street:
Xijindu Ancient Street is about 1000 meters long. It was founded in the Six Dynasties. After the construction of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it left its present scale. So from the Six Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, the whole street can be seen everywhere. It is the "context" of Zhenjiang's historical and cultural city.
Xijin Ferry was called "Suanshan Ferry" in the Three Kingdoms, "Jinling Ferry" in the Tang Dynasty and "Xijin Ferry" after the Song Dynasty. It used to be close to the Yangtze River, and the rolling river flowed under its feet. After the Qing dynasty, due to the siltation of the river beach, the river bank gradually moved northward, and the ferry then moved down to Chao' an Temple at the foot of Yushan Mountain. At that time, Xijin Gudu is now more than 300 meters away from the bank of the Yangtze River.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan's Dongwu Navy was stationed here. After the Tang Dynasty, soldiers were specially sent to guard and patrol here. In the spring of the first year of Song Xining (1608), Wang Anshi was called to Beijing and flew from the Western Jin Dynasty to Guazhou. When he sailed to Guazhou, he expressed his feelings on the spot and wrote the famous poem "Boating Guazhou": Guazhou in Jingkou is a piece of water, and Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains.
Jiang Nanan spring breeze is green, when will the bright moon shine on me?
