Jiaxing is located in the middle of the major central cities in the Yangtze River Delta, only100km away from Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other cities. The city is small, but it has a long history. Since ancient times, it has been prosperous and well-known, and there are many tourist attractions. Nanhu, Wuzhen and Xitang have long been famous in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Jiaxing has many ethnic scenic spots, such as the ancient village of A?vagho?a, which is one of the places worth visiting.
A?vagho?a ancient village, located in the west of Zhouquan Town, Tongxiang City, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, can be regarded as a relatively remote place, which seems to keep a certain distance from the outside world. Therefore, the ancient village is very quiet, with no restless heads and no crowds of tourists. The village is 35 kilometers away from Tongxiang city, 50 kilometers away from Hangzhou and 0/80 kilometers away from Shanghai/KLOC.
A?vagho?a ancient village has a history of more than 65,438+0,000 years. There is an old street with the same long history in the ancient village. There are two ancient cultural sites in the village, namely Zhujiaba site and Tieqiao site. Their history can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Han Dynasty, which is enough to show that human beings have lived here for a long time and deserve it.
The whole village is small, but it has strong characteristics of Jiangnan water town. The winding river runs through here. The famous stone arch bridge in history connects this ancient village from one point to another. There are many rivers in the village, and some people still live on the island. There is also a "Peach Blossom Island" in the village, with an area of about 18 mu. Every spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom and the scenery is charming.
Nearly one third of the village is water, and there are as many as 14 puddles, and many of them are big rivers, such as Sandong Huanqiao Port, Lianghe Port and Jiaomaqiao Port. This environment has created many bridges in the village. According to the statistics of Zhouquan Town Records, there are 35, which is actually far more than this figure. In ancient times, there was a bridge every 0.5 km on average.
A?vagho?a ancient village has always been relatively low-key, but because of its beautiful natural environment, it has become one of the top ten most beautiful villages in Zhejiang and the only one in Jiaxing.
When I came to the ancient village of Avaghoa, I had to talk about A?vagho?a's "Taiwan Province Play". Although A?vagho?a is small, its stage is well known. This used to be the place where many troupes dreamed of losing their lives. Taiwan Province Opera originated in the Southern Song Dynasty and had a far-reaching influence from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. Last year, A?vagho?a Village was awarded the traditional drama village of Zhejiang Province for its Flower Drum Opera. Every year, the stage is built for people by the nearby villages in turn.
There is an old street in the village called A?vagho?a Old Street, which is less than 100 meter. It used to be a very prosperous market town. Now there are many barbershops, teahouses, hardware stores, hoop shops, home appliance repair shops, grocery stores and so on. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were four streets in the village, namely Qian Miao Street, Tanghou Street, North Street and South Street. Later, due to the landfill of rivers and the demolition of houses, some streets gradually disappeared into the torrent of history.
There is a big camphor tree in the village. In front of A?vagho?a Temple, the tree was surrounded by nearly 3 meters, with a shade of half an acre and six branches. Seen from a distance, it is spectacular. It witnessed the history of this small place. In fact, there used to be many such big trees in the village, but they were later destroyed. I'm sorry.
A?vagho?a Old Street runs from north to south, and its width varies from 2 to 4 meters. There are hundreds of families on both sides. Most of the houses are Ming and Qing buildings. The old street is well-preserved, which is a rare original ecological rural street in Jiangnan area.
People live quietly here and drink a cup of morning tea for one yuan. In this materialistic age, one-yuan tea is rare in places like the Yangtze River Delta.
When I came to the ancient village, I felt that there was an island in the lake, and there was a small movie machine exhibition hall, as if everything could bring people back to that innocent era. People who drink tea, eat noodles, chat and play cards feel very noisy, but it also gives people a quiet feeling. In such an impetuous era, it is really hard to have such a quiet place.
