"A stream runs through the town, with peaches and plums on the bank, morning glow and evening glow all over the river, and the stream is full of gold, which is like a brocade belt". This is the ancient town of Jinxi written by Wen Zhiming, the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and its scenery is just like its name, which is also the origin of its name.

Jinxi ancient town has a long history, rich land and rich materials, and Zhong Ling is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is not far from Zhouzhuang, which is well-known at home and abroad, there is no such noisy and full-bodied business atmosphere.

They are all water towns, and they all have an ancient history. The ancient town of Jinxi has its own poetic style, with the unique simplicity and beauty of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and the white-walled, gray-tiled awning boats stand out in the world.

The orderly and leisurely pace of slow life in the ancient town makes people feel relaxed and comfortable, clean and elegant, frustration and loneliness disappear here, and poetry and ease are endless here.

The ancient town of Jinxi is unique and has a unique charm, just like a classical lady who has been gazing into the distance for a long time, calmly showing her wisdom and elegance in front of our eyes.

Jinxi Town has a very long history, which can be traced back to the Neolithic Age in ancient times. There were traces of human activities here 1, years ago. The earliest humanistic records originated in 14 BC, leaving many touching stories and legends in Jinxi, which also preserved many humanistic landscapes, historical sites and numerous buildings with unique and clear characteristics.

There are many stories left in Jinxi. During the Spring and Autumn Period of Wu and Yue Dynasties, when He Lv, the king of Wu, ordered Wu Zixu to build Suzhou City, Jinxi, which was only over 3 kilometers away from Suzhou, showed signs of prosperity.

Ma Yuan, a famous Western Han Dynasty soldier, trained here to write a copy of Hanxi, an emotional radio station; Han Xi copy of the tomb of Zhang Zhao, the assistant general of the Three Kingdoms, on the emotional radio station in Sri Lanka; This is also the land where the imperial concubine of the Southern Song Dynasty died. According to historical records, after Song Xiaozong's favorite princess, Chen Fei, died, she was buried in the Wubao Lake in Jinxi, and the town name of Jinxi was changed to "Chen Tomb", which remained in use for more than 8 years until 1993.

Jinxi is also a place where literati and poets are attached to each other, where Gu Kaizhi, a great painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, lives in seclusion. Lu Guimeng, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, lived here for most of his later years. Wu Wenying, a poet in the Song Dynasty, Wei Jing, a scholar in the Yuan Dynasty, Ma Zhiyuan, and Tang Bohu, Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhiming and Shen Zhou, the "talented people in the south of the Yangtze River" in the Ming Dynasty, sang in this step one after another, leaving many thousands of ancient poems reciting scenery and thinking about things.

each side's landscape nurtures one side's spirituality. The spirituality of each side feeds back the amorous feelings of one side. Jinxi, an ancient town, is surrounded by the city of Zejin, with streets and lanes close to the water and ancient bridges. It is known as "36 bridges and 72 kilns". Pebble alleys, Ming and Qing halls, painted buildings and carved beams, white walls and tiles, witnessed the vicissitudes of history.

Walking in the narrow street paved with bluestone, watching the moss crawling all over the stone road, watching the carved beams and painted buildings seem to be able to hear the bustling, and then looking at the various houses on both sides and the villagers still living in the houses will make people feel kind and natural. Looking for it, the story of the past seems to reappear.

the territory of Jinxi ancient town is densely covered with lakes and rivers. There are Wubao Lake and Dianshan Lake in the south and Chenhu Lake in the northwest. The inner river of the ancient town is 6 kilometers long, forming a typical Jiangnan water town with Jinxi river and lake connected, streets and lanes adjacent to water and bridges and lanes connected. The meaning is revealed in tranquility and elegance, and the charm is displayed in quietness and simplicity. No feasting, away from the noise of cars and horses, antique is the best scenery.

most of the existing dwellings in Jinxi ancient town were built in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China. Most of the residents were built by water, and they were built near the water. Most of the houses were brick and wood structures with one or two floors, with blue tiles and white walls, windows and doors near the water or water ports. Two streets along the river form the main commercial street of the ancient town.

Shen Congwen Yu Jinxi is a "sleeping girl", while Feng Yingzi calls Jinxi "light and heavy makeup is always appropriate", and the late master Liu Haisu praised Jinxi as "the best in the south of the Yangtze River". Some people call it: Jinxi-the last real water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Water lanes, river ports, arch bridges, arcades, Langfang and markets, which have been accumulated for more than 2, years, are like a fascinating and wonderful picture.

Gulian long dike is the symbol of Jinxi. A long dike separates Lingtang Bay and Wubao Lake, and there is a covered bridge in the middle. The bridge corridor is about 2 meters long and is vermilion. The pavilion with classical cornice shape connects the long covered bridge, and the bridge is full of lotus leaves and lotus flowers. When there is no wind, the lake reflects the most beautiful reflection, which looks like an ink painting in the distance.

On the left side of Gulianqiao is the famous water tomb of Chen Fei. It is said that Song Xiaozong and Chen Fei stayed in Jinxi ancient town because of their resistance to gold. Chen Fei fell ill in Jinxi because of the fatigue of the journey, and she was attached to the picturesque landscape before her death. After Chen Fei's death, Song Xiaozong built Lianchi Temple, Gulianqiao and Chen Fei's "water tomb" on the five-guarantee lake.

the water mound lies in the lake, surrounded by reeds. Surprisingly, no matter how high the water level is, Chen Fei's water mound is always exposed on the lake, swaying green. Wen Zhiming, a talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, also wrote a poem called "Chen Feishui Tomb": "Who sees the grave at the bottom of the golden water, and closes the beautiful woman with an empty mind? The king loves to follow the flowing water and wins the surname Chen in Hanxi. "

On the right side of Gulian Bridge is Lianchi Temple, which was originally completed after 4 years of civil construction. Since then, there have been various Zen temples with halls, pavilions, pavilions and waterside pavilions. Lianchi Buddhist Temple, which lives by the water, is slim and graceful, resting on the blue waves, and between the beautiful world and the beautiful world, it is like a fairyland scenery, adding splendor to Jinxi and becoming a good place for tourists to explore the past and find seclusion.

The ancient town of Jinxi, whose town is Zeguo and surrounded by water, still maintains the simple cultural features of the Han water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with Gu Xiang and blue bricks and tiles, which are permeated with the lingering charm of history, elegant and popular. Watch the sunshine and mist in the morning, enjoy the silence and comfort at night, and measure every inch of the quiet stone road with your feet.

In the small town, you can see old people shaking their cattail leaf fans and chatting, playful children, and emotional radio station Hanxi copywriting. They are all indigenous residents, speaking softly and softly about Wu Nong. Everything in front of and behind the house is very simple. There are fishy dried fish hanging on bamboo poles, pickled grandma dishes soaked in water tanks, and cats and dogs yawning, which makes the ancient town smell of fireworks and have vitality and soul. The winding alleys are full of satisfaction and comfort, and the misty and rainy life in the south of the Yangtze River, which people dream of, is the most accustomed day here.
