Taoism has always been a fairy tale in people's minds. Lu Xiujing, the founder of the "Shangqing School" of Taoism and the "founder" of Nantian Shidao, founded the Shangqing School, which laid the foundation for later Taoism. Lu Xiujing and his disciples lived in seclusion when they saw a place with auspicious weather and endless water veins. In order to commemorate this "Great Immortal", the local people called their home "Xiantan", which is now a new ancient town.

this ancient town was influenced by the "Great Immortal". It was ethereal and uncontested, and it should have been unknown. Unexpectedly, a delicious sauce mutton made it "fire out of the circle", and some netizens even complained that it was "not immortal". Is this reasonable?

Located in Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Xinshi Ancient Town has a history of more than 1,2 years, and has another name of "Xiantan". It was once one of the origins of the ancient Silk Road and an important commercial center in the south of the Yangtze River. This is the secluded place of "Lu Xianren", the hometown of Shen Quan, a famous painter of flowers and birds in the Qing Dynasty, and the hometown of wuqian, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the ancient town, the rivers are like a net, and the water street is interdependent, which retains the original ecological atmosphere. The houses are built along the river, and there are many bridges on the river, such as Jiaxian Bridge, Huixian Bridge Bridge and Wangxian Bridge. The style of the ancient buildings preserved in the ancient town combines a lot of Taoist assembly, and the geomantic implication of the whole town's topography also has obvious Taoist theory color.

there is a unique folk custom in the ancient town. Every Qingming Festival, silkworm farmers will pray for the silkworm god to clear away diseases and disasters for the silkworm baby and give it a high-yield year, and hold a silkworm flower temple fair. The temple fair is crowded with people, and women are pregnant with silkworm eggs and all kinds of silkworm flowers. After the temple fair, people began to cultivate silkworms in spring.

this ancient town is a good place to eat. There are many delicious foods in the ancient town, including tea cakes, crispy duck noodles, mutton in soy sauce, and various cakes. The most special is the mutton with sauce, which is different from the mutton that can be eaten all over the street in peacetime.

The mutton eaten outside is basically skinless, but this mutton is skinless, with unique flavor, bright color and thick soup. It is soft and mushy when chewed in your mouth, and it is delicious. The most important thing is that the bones are very loose and melt in the mouth. Just a few simple chews are enough for the meat to slowly melt in the mouth. Visitors who have tasted it are unforgettable.

Although today's new towns have lost their splendor as the seven ancient towns, they are a little more modern and exquisite. There is no harsh commercial sales, no noisy fast-paced life, and a rare peace and tranquility. This real "small bridge, flowing water, people" scenery is the ideal living condition of many people.
