About the guide words of Wuzhen 1 Dear friends, we are going to visit half of Wuzhen together this day, which is the first-class scenic spot of Wuzhen and its essence, called Dongzha.
Who knows why it is called Wuzhen? Everyone's guesses are very reasonable, because there are many historical legends there. Just now, some tourists said that there were many crows in ancient times, and some tourists said that people there liked to eat Wuji Baifeng Pills. Actually, if you think about it carefully, "black" obviously means black. Because the land there in the Tang Dynasty was very fertile and the land was black, as you can see, the tiles on the top of the surrounding houses were black, so this place was named "Wuzhen".
Wuzhen, a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, is suitable for TV series, such as "Time flies" and "Granary in the World". The river in front of us is called "Dongshi River", which is four meters deep. It is not only connected with the East Gate and West Gate of Wuzhen, but also directly connected with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the world's first canal.
Let's take a look at the opposite side of the river. The house opposite is called Shuige, which is the attic on the water. This is a unique residential building in Wuzhen, the six major water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Take a closer look. What's the difference between the stone pillar below that water pavilion and what we usually see? Yes, it's square, not round. Why? Because there will be snakes in the water, and the square pillar snakes can't climb up. How about that? Isn't the design unique?
Look at the bridge in front, which is adjacent to the left and right. It is called Fengyuan Shuangqiao, also known as the covered bridge. Because the bridge itself is a corridor, there is a drainage fence under the bridge, which was equivalent to a water gate at that time. At the same time, this bridge has another function: every festival in the south of the Yangtze River is very lively, and the personality is that on the Lantern Festival, men and women, ladies and gentlemen, and small jasper people all come out to see the lanterns.
In ancient times, it was thought that men and women were not close to each other, so this bridge played the role of "men left and women right" to separate the crowd.
Across the bridge, there is an old drugstore called Xiangshan Hall. After a while, Xiao Xiao will take you to see the Jiangnan Hundred Beds Museum, Jiangnan Folk Museum, the Old Customs Hall, the Festival Customs Hall, and the Shou Customs Hall, and invite you to taste the Sanbai Liquor, a specialty of Wuzhen. Please feel free to visit at the moment and meet here in half an hour.
Guide words about Wuzhen 2 In the Tang Dynasty, Wuzhen was attached to Gusu House. In the 13th year of Tang Xiantong (872), Suo Jing Mingwang Temple Monument first presented the theory of Wuzhen. Wuzhen said that the history of the town may begin here. Wuzhen has a history of 1200 years, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal passes through the town. Historically, it was divided into two towns, Wu and Qing, with the river as the boundary. Wuzhen in Hexi belongs to Wucheng County, Huzhou Prefecture, and Qingqing Town in Hedong belongs to Tongxiang County, Jiaxing Prefecture. It was not until Zhizhi 1950 that Tieqing Town officially merged, collectively known as Wuzhen, which belongs to Tongxiang County and transferred to Jiaxing. Today.
Wuzhen Scenic Area was officially opened on 200 1 year 1 month 1 day. Although it was developed late, it started at a high level and was extremely completely preserved. The whole development process maintained the principle of repairing the old with the old and rectifying the old as before. Now there are still ordinary people living in the scenic spot, and they are not all moved away because of tourism development. How they used to live is still how they live now, and Wuzhen is therefore self-satisfied and original, and it is an ancient town living!
The river we see now is called Dongshi River, with a depth of 3 meters. It is living water and connects the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. There are still people living in the ancient houses across the river, so Wuzhen is a real living ancient water town.
Not far from here, you can see a very distinctive slate bridge, Fengyuan Shuangqiao. Associated with a word, it means besieged on all sides. It can also be seen that there is a veranda above the bridge, so it is also called a covered bridge. There is also a drainage fence under the bridge. At that time, this drainage fence was commensurate with the role of a water gate.
At present, the first place to cross the bridge is Caishen Bay. Originally, it was not called Caishen Bay, but called Zhuanyuan Bay. Wuzhen's water system is special and cross-shaped. The narrower the river reaches the gate head, the less likely it is for ships to turn around, so the locals dug a pond here to create a place where they can transfer boats. At the same time, in order to distinguish it from other places, they borrowed the Caishen Hall in front and named it Caishen Bay.
After returning to the fire, you can see an old drugstore called Xiangshan Hall, which is smaller than Huqingyutang in Hangzhou, but it has a history of 120 years. It was founded by Lu Qingyu, a drug dealer in Ningbo, and his grandson Lu Quqing moved the pharmacy here. There are about 300 medicine cabinets around the counter.
After seeing the drugstore, we walked on, and then we saw the God of Wealth Hall mentioned just now. In Wuzhen, there was always the custom of taking five roads. The so-called taking five roads is the God of Wealth, with one in the southeast and northwest, and this God of Wealth is Bigan, the God of Wealth on the East Road. Bigan was a prime minister of the Shang Dynasty. He was honest and loyal to the king, until he gave his heart to Shang Zhouwang. At that time, the common people admired Bigan very much for this, which was special.
At the beginning, the street we walked was called Dongdaxiang, with a total length of 1300 meters. It was all old stone roads with ancient houses on both sides. There were more than 350 families living in the whole street with a population of nearly 1000. In the past, it was extremely neat and clean. Because all the three lines and two pipes were put into the ground during the development, people on both sides now have water and electricity in their homes, and every household has installed toilets for them, and the sewage is not discharged into the river next to them. Therefore, the development of sightseeing has also improved a certain living environment.
Jiangnan baichuangguan
In order to guide you, the next thing we visit is the Jiangnan Hundred Beds Museum, which, as the name implies, is a collection of various ancient beds from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. This old house is a large family with the local surname Zhao, and it is an old house in the depth of seven miles. First of all, the first bed we saw was the oldest bed in our exhibition hall: the Ming and horseshoe-foot tubular frame bed, which has a history of at least 400 years. The Ming furniture is concise and generous, and the materials are particular. The whole bed is made of beech wood. Then we moved in, and there was a treasure of the town hall in the 100-bed hall, which was a thousand-bed bed.
What we see here is a clear and step-by-step thousand-work bed. Why is it called a thousand-work bed? It means one job a day, and a thousand jobs means a carpenter needs a thousand days, which means three years. The exquisiteness of carving is also called uncanny workmanship. This bed * * * is carved with the character 106. In ancient times, 108 was the auspicious number. Moreover, this bed is a newly-married bed, and a newly-married couple happened to fill in 108, which is also a symbol of good luck. This bed covers an area of more than six square meters, and * * * has four depths. The first one is. The last entry is used by the owner when he sleeps and rests. The equipment is complete and commensurate with the current suite.
The most distinctive place on this bed is the wooden sign hanging in the air, which was given to the owner of the bed by the carpenter who used to make the bed, which is equivalent to a greeting card now, and there is also a kind of conversation. This sign is like the Do Not Disturb sign hung on the door of our hotel now.
After seeing the thousand-work bed, you can see three beds with the same style, which belong to the combination of Chinese and western styles. On both sides of the bed, there are two Roman columns that are western-style. There are peony flowers hanging on the bed. Peony flowers represent wealth in ancient China, and grapes are double happiness. Grapes are many children and grandchildren, and many children are blessed; Double happiness is a symbol of happiness when people get married in China. That is to say, this bed is also a wedding bed, and this bed was left in the early Republic of China, and the information is made of mahogany.
Then most of the beds we saw just now were double beds, so we can take a look at two ladies' beds in the next communication. First of all, let's take a look at the modern carved herringbone plaque frame bed, which was used by girls aged thirteen or fourteen. Although it is a young lady's bed, most of the patterns carved on this bed are military commanders. It can be said that this little girl doesn't like red makeup and martial arts makeup, and she belongs to Mulan's type, and her ambition is also very high. Looking up, you can see that there are two lines, that is, she wants to catch the horizon and the moon with both hands, and break the bottom of her heart with one stone. On this bed, the pattern of bats is also carved, which represents many blessings, and the lion of Yingwu also plays a role in avoiding evil spirits. Next to the Miss Bed in Qing Dynasty, the color of this Miss Bed is bright and red, which is a kind of precious silver paint. The figures on the bed are all gilded.
Welcome to Wuzhen, an ancient water town. Today, allow me to take you to visit our beautiful Wuzhen as a native of Wuzhen.
When you walk into Wuzhen, you will be surprised to find that the style and pattern of the ancient water town in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are completely preserved here. What is unusual is that some of the houses along the river extend to the river, and the bottom is hit in the river bed with wooden stakes or columns, and the beams are put on the shelves, which is called Shuige. This is the unique style of Wuzhen, and I think Venice, a water city, is not as good as this.
Walking on the narrow street paved with bluestone slabs, you will see all kinds of houses on both sides and the villagers still living in them, which are extremely cordial. If you come to Wuzhen, it is the rainy spring, and the clear and dripping rain drops from the dark blue corrugations in strings, making a tinkling sound on the stone road, and the scenery is also picturesque, making you feel like a lifetime ago.
Speaking of the scenic spots in Wuzhen, apart from Xiuzhen Temple, Prince Zhaoming's Reading Room, Shuangqiao, etc., I have to give you a grand introduction to Mao Dun's former residence. Mao Dun, formerly known as Shen Dehong, is a literary giant in China. The house here is a residence built by himself after he became famous. Mao Dun's former residence is the only national key cultural relics protection unit in China so far. It is located in Guanqian Street on the east side of the river in Wuzhen City, with four bays and two floors of wooden buildings, facing south, with a total area of 450 square meters. The former residence is divided into two units, the east and the west. The room facing the street in the old house is Mao Dun's home school. The interior layout of the former residence is simple, but it exudes the unique Jing Ya atmosphere of the Shenyang family.
By the way, after showing you around for such a long time, you should be hungry. Don't worry, let me introduce you to the delicious food in Wuzhen. In Wuzhen, you can see the specialties of Wuzhen everywhere, such as: Sister-in-law cake, Wuzhen mutton, smoked bean tea, Sanjiu liquor, etc., among which Sister-in-law cake is the most famous. There is a beautiful story about the origin of the name "Sister-in-law's Cake".
It is said that more than 100 years ago, Fang Tianshun, a husband and wife tea shop in Wuzhen, learned the good craft of making crisp candy by his ancestors. It's a pity that this craft is only passed on from daughter-in-law to daughter-in-law. After a long time, my girl will inevitably feel jealous, so she shakes a bag of salt into the flour jar for making cakes, hoping to see her sister-in-law embarrassed the next day. Who knows the next day, this cake tastes salty and sweet, and it is even more popular with customers. Therefore, it is named Sister-in-law Cake, which has been passed down to this day and is a must-eat Wuzhen delicacy for tourists.
Friends, let's go sightseeing together next!
Hello, tourists and friends, the destination we are going to visit this day is Wuzhen, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Wuzhen is one of the six water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the most beautiful water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Many film and television dramas, such as Rene Liu's endorsement, are filmed there. However, if there are friends here who like the modern metropolis life with fast pace, high-rise buildings and reinforced concrete, then you will be disappointed. Why? Because the pace of life in Wuzhen is very slow, very comfortable and comfortable, and there are no high-rise buildings, but only one or two floors of wooden buildings with white walls and black tiles built near the water. There is not even an elevator there, and there are no more than three floors of buildings in the scenic spot. All Wuzhen has is a misty and rainy, chic and leisurely feeling. However, if some friends think that the life in the metropolis is too tired and noisy, Wuzhen is a wonderful place to rest. You can relax your mind and feel comfortable in Wuzhen, so many friends near Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai will drive to Wuzhen on weekends, have a look around, eat cakes, taste good wine and tea, stay for one or two nights, have nothing to do, sit on a rocking boat in Wuzhen, feel the life of ancient people, and live at sunset at sunrise, without nightlife, far from downtown, which is really very pleasant.
Wuzhen is divided into Dongzha and Xizha. We visited Dongzha this time. Why not go to Xizha? Because Wuzhen's history, humanity and feelings are all in Dongzha, and Xizha is only a scenic spot developed in recent years. The main focus is accommodation and night tour, but interested friends can also stay in Xizha for one or two nights to see the beautiful night view of the river.
Back to Dongzha, Dongzha scenic spot is actually not big, and it consists of two streets, East Street and West Street, separated by an Dongshi River in the middle. There are some small shops along the West Street, such as cakes and handicrafts. Interested friends can take a look when they are free to move later. The main scenic spots we will visit this time are all on East Street, which is1300m long. The main scenic spots are Baichuang Pavilion, Woodcarving Pavilion, Mao Dun's former residence, Coin Pavilion, Wine Workshop, Dyeing Workshop, etc. I won't introduce them to you, but I will explain them in detail when I get to the scenic spot.
So it's very important to go out to play, eat and drink. Speaking of this, we have to mention Wuzhen's aunt's cake, which is a traditional name in Wuzhen. It is oily but not greasy, crisp but not scattered, fragrant and waxy, and salty in sweetness. When you hear this name, you will think that this cake must be made by two aunts together. In fact, it is not. On the contrary, it is the result of their quarrelling. There is also an allusion. Don't worry, I am here. It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, there was a family named Zhang in Wuzhen. The aunt's cake was famous for its delicious personality, but there was an unwritten rule at home, that is, the ancestral secret recipe of making aunt's cake was only passed on to the daughter-in-law, not to her daughter.
In ancient times, there was a saying that the married daughter spilled water, thinking that the married daughter was someone else's. The sister-in-law of this family has been married to the Zhang family for more than a year. Every time the sister-in-law sees her mother teaching her sister-in-law to make aunt's cakes, she is jealous and feels that she has lived in this family for more than ten years, and her sister-in-law has only stayed in this family for more than a year. It is unfair that her mother teaches her sister-in-law instead of herself. So one day, when my sister-in-law was making an aunt's cake, it happened to rain. My sister-in-law told her that it was raining. Go and collect clothes, and my sister-in-law went to collect clothes. At this time, my sister-in-law grabbed a handful of salt and threw it into the pot for making cakes.
On this day, when the guests visited, they ate the cake made by my sister-in-law, praising it delicious, saying that it tasted different from before. My sister-in-law felt strange that I was made according to the secret recipe of my family, so how could it be different? So she took a bite and found that the taste was really different from before, so she was puzzled.
Tell this doubt to my sister-in-law, and she said, as long as you tell me the secret recipe for making cakes, I will tell you the secret why the cakes on this day are so delicious. But my sister-in-law told her the secret recipe in detail, and the second sister-in-law also told her honestly how she was bad and how she was every cloud has a silver lining. Since then, because the sister-in-law cake was made by the two sisters-in-law, it was named the sister-in-law cake. Many small shops in the scenic spot sell it, and friends who like it can try it. It is also a good gift to buy it and take it back to relatives and friends. In addition, there are many other delicious snacks in Wuzhen, such as Euryale ferox cake, Dingsheng cake, mung bean cake, asparagus sugar and so on. It is worth mentioning that these are all made by hand. Oh, don't miss them.
After talking about eating, let's talk about drinking. The special liquor in Wuzhen is called Sanjiao Liquor, Sanjiao Liquor, which, as the name implies, is made of white rice, white flour and white water. The rice flour and water are all authentic materials in Wuzhen. There is also an alias in Wuzhen, which is called "Du Da Jiu". There is a folk song that "The guests refuse to leave after eating". There is a scenic spot on our East Street called Gaogongsheng Bad Shop, which specializes in making Sanjiu Liquor. Tell everyone that the Sanjiu Liquor can be tasted for free, but don't drink too much. Don't sit on the stool. It's too pleasant to order small wine and fennel, so you forget the visit time. If you sit for an afternoon, a group of us will find you one. If you want me to say, if you like it, you might as well buy some. When you go home, you can drink whatever you want with your family and friends. Everyone is happy. Three liquors are not expensive, but a bottle is only twenty or thirty yuan, which is very economical.
After eating and drinking, you have to use it. Wuzhen also has its own specialty blue printed cloth, also known as lime printed cloth and printed blue cloth, which is also a traditional folk handicraft in China. Wuzhen is one of the origins of printed blue cloth, and it is printed with cotton thread, soybean powder scraping and blue grass juice, which is purely manual and environmentally friendly. Walking on Wuzhen Street, you can also see that some people in some houses are making this. The Hongyuantai Dyeing Workshop that we visited is an exhibition place for printing blue cloth, and there are also special workers' masters to show the process of making printed blue cloth on the spot. There are also many small shops opened by local people in the scenic spot to buy all kinds of printed blue cloth made by themselves, including headscarves, scarves, shawls, clothes, cheongsam, etc., which are very beautiful and chic.
Well, at the moment, our car is approaching Wuzhen. I still have to tell you something. There are still aborigines living in Wuzhen, and there are many alleys. Some places are used by local residents. A piece of white paper "Visitors Stop" will be posted on the wall. Then our friends should not be too curious. You should stop me. I have to find out. This is not necessary. I will explain it to you for a while, and the rest of the time is. There are many bridges and many waters in Wuzhen, and the roads are also stone roads. Here, we remind everyone that when crossing the bridge, we must pay attention to safety and take good care of our valuables. Other specific precautions, I will tell you slowly during the tour. Ok, now let's get off with me and go sightseeing.
The guide words about Wuzhen 5 Hello, friends! I'm Su Hang, the tour guide, and I'll explain the Xizha in Wuzhen.
Now we come to Xizha scenic spot, which is relatively late in development compared with Dongzha. Compared with the traditional tourism mode of Dongzha, Xizha scenic spot is more inclined to leisure and vacation. Therefore, in addition to preserving the original appearance of the ancient block, Xizha has a lot of modern service homestays, which is a great feature of Xizha. Wuzhen is an ancient water town in Zhejiang Province, located in Hangjiahu Plain, Tongxiang City, northern Zhejiang Province, at the northern end of Zhejiang Province, adjacent to Jiangsu Province. It was once the junction of two provinces, three governments and seven counties.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wuzhen was a place where Wu Jiang crossed the border, and the State of Wu stationed troops to prevent it from crossing the country, which was then called Wu Xu. The name "Wuzhen" first appeared in the 13th year of Tang Xiantong. During the period of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, Qing Wu was divided into two towns, Wuzhen in Hexi and Qingzhen in Hedong. After liberation, they were collectively called Wuzhen. In view of the fact that there are a large number of classic buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties in Wuzhen, after the successful operation of the first phase of Wuzhen Ancient Town Protection Project, the second phase of Xizha has been planned in a larger and deeper level. Since 2003, the second phase of Wuzhen Ancient Town Protection Project (Xizha Scenic Area), a provincial key project, has been launched, with a huge investment of one billion yuan to protect and develop Wuzhen Xizha. The scope of the protection project is nearly 3.4 square kilometers, which is more than three times that of Dongzha Scenic Area.
Wuzhen Xizha is an ancient town rebuilt according to a modern cultural concept, which has obviously been carefully designed and constructed. It is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is obviously derived from and higher than historical life. It's like an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, but it's obviously an ideal or cultural imagination. It's more beautiful, but it's not Wuzhen, which once existed in the history of that year. Wuzhen was gone in those days, and now Wuzhen should be an "unnecessary" Wuzhen.
Now let's follow me in and have a look!
The guide words about Wuzhen 6 Wuzhen is an ancient town with beautiful bridges and flowing water.
Find a drizzly weather and take a walk in Gu Xiang.
Tourists who like the style of the ancient town, the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is always a must-go place, just like sitting on the side of the road to bask in the night sun when they arrive in Lijiang. Then, when they arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, it is a must-do thing to appreciate what misty rain is in the south of the Yangtze River.
Get up early in Wuzhen and feel the quiet morning.
For all scenic spots, if you can get up early, you will always get a surprise different from the lively scene during the day, and Wuzhen is no exception. Quiet small streets are also suitable for taking pictures: white walls with blue tiles, flowing water of stone arch bridges, tender and lush weeping willows, wandering puppies, rickshaws parked at the door, residential houses with wooden structures, women who wash clothes by the river, deep alleys, simple and clean bluestone roads, and old people who burn stoves ... Just lift the lens and focus, and all the scenes are enchanted.
Count the ancient bridges in Wuzhen slowly.
Back to some stone bridges to connect the alleys separated by waterways, almost all of them are bridges in a few steps. Therefore, if you have enough time and patience, it is also a very pleasant thing to count the stone bridges in Wuzhen. If you are tired, just find a stone bridge and sit down and watch people come and go.
At present, there are more than 30 ancient bridges in Wuzhen, the most famous of which is the double bridge in Xiduo Street.
When you go across the bank, the circular holes of the two stone arch bridges are reflected in the water, and the two bridges set each other off, which has a unique charm. Walking along the ancient bridge, it seems that time has slowed down, and there is a rare leisurely and quiet comfort.
Make a pot of green tea and stare blankly at the water.
When you go back to Wuzhen, don't just walk through the streets. In the atmosphere of returning to the water town, you must bring a pot of newly brewed green tea in the teahouse by the water, sit in a bamboo chair and stay for a while. It is definitely not a waste of time.
Remember, it must be the new tea of that year. If it is Longjing, it is the best. Watching the green buds stretch in the invasion of boiling water, the mood will be as sparse as returning to green. I have just been to Wuzhen, so let's talk about my own experience! I saw a hotel called Dahong Accommodation on Qunar.com, so I called my boss and chatted with him. He was very enthusiastic and introduced me some travel strategies in Wuzhen. Contact your own Baidu Wuzhen Dahong.
1。 Wuzhen mainly looks at the night view of Xizha, and unlike some merchants, Wuzhen has many scenic spots in Dongzha and few in Xizha. The fact is that there are many scenic spots in Xizha, and there are more than 20 scenic spots in it (I also checked when I went, and there are indeed 20 scenic spots in Xizha, so I suggest buying a joint ticket, so that Xizha can enter early, otherwise some scenic spots will not be opened at night).
2。 At the same time, Wuzhen does not have all free tickets, which is a lie of some unscrupulous merchants!
3。 There is also a tricycle in Wuzhen that can really fool people. When I got there, I was almost cheated. I said that I would take you to visit the old street for free. Don't believe it. It is the south gate of Wuzhen, and I don't want tickets! The scenery is the same as Dongzha.
4。 There is also the problem of diet, you can ask the boss to recommend several to see, the general price around the scenic spot is relatively high! You can put forward your ideas to your boss and let him recommend them to you according to your preferences!
Let's talk about the accommodation. The basic facilities are available: air conditioning, water heater, broadband, TV, and my room also has a computer specially left for me by my boss (computer fees are confiscated).
