Guzhen zhouzhuang
Zhouzhuang is located in the southeast of Suzhou and southwest of Kunshan, which was called Zhenfengli in ancient times. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhouzhuang was the fief of Yaozi, the king of Wu, and it was called Yaocheng. In the first year of Yuan You in the Northern Song Dynasty (1086), more than 200 mu of Langshe House of Duke Zhou was donated to the local Quanfu Temple, formerly known as Zhouzhuang. In the mid-Yuan Dynasty, Shen Wansan used the traffic advantage of Beibaimian River in Zhouzhuang Town to trade with other countries, so Zhouzhuang became a distribution center for its grain, silk, ceramics and handicrafts, and became a giant town in the south of the Yangtze River. In the early years of Qing Emperor Kangxi, it was officially named Zhouzhuang Town.
Zhouzhuang Town, a small town in Zeguo, is a quaint, clean and quiet place because of the river. It is a typical "small bridge and flowing water family" in Jiangnan. Although it has experienced more than 900 years of vicissitudes, it still completely retains the original style and pattern of the ancient water town, just like a pearl embedded in Dianshan Lake.
The most famous scenic spots in Zhouzhuang are Fuan Bridge, Shuangqiao and Shenting. Fuan Bridge is the only three-dimensional bridge building in the south of the Yangtze River. Shuangqiao is formed by connecting two bridges, with unique shape; Shenting is a quadrangle with A Qing style, with rigorous overall structure and different local styles. In addition, there are religious sites such as the Taoist Temple of Procedure and Quanfu Temple. Bridges and streets in the town are connected, houses are built by the river, boats are swaying and green shadows are dancing. Tourists who return to simplicity can't help chanting: "Wu Yi Wu, Wu Zhongzhou is good at going abroad."
The river in Guzhen District is well-shaped, houses are built by the river, and streets are built by the water. There are 14 ancient bridges built in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties on the river. Wu Guanzhong wrote that "Huangshan is the beauty of mountains and rivers in China, and Zhouzhuang is the beauty of water towns in China", and overseas newspapers called Zhouzhuang "the first water town in China".
About Zhouzhuang
There is a story about Zhouzhuang: 1984, Chen Yifei, who was studying in the United States, created an oil painting "Memories of My Hometown" with the background of Zhouzhuang Shuangqiao. Together with his other 37 works, it was exhibited in armand hammer Gallery, the chairman of American Western Oil Company, in the autumn of 10, which caused a sensation, especially those works created by oil painting and traditional ink painting techniques in China. Art News, an authoritative American magazine, published a review entitled "Dare to Challenge Western Trends", which specifically introduced Chen Yifei's artistic achievements.
That year 1 1 month, armand? When Hammer visited China, he bought Chen Yifei's Memories of Hometown at a high price and gave it to Comrade Deng Xiaoping as a gift. I don't know why Hammer chose China's "native products" as a gift for China leaders, but it was this choice that made China people really know Zhouzhuang.
The United Nations issues six sets of stamps every year, and the United Nations World Association selects six outstanding painters from all over the world every year, asking them to design and draw exquisite patterns themselves as the first day covers of each set of stamps. 1985, this painting was processed by Chen Yifei and became the first day cover of the World United Nations Association, which made more and more people appreciate the charming scenery of the ancient water town in China.
An ancient town in 900 years
Zhouzhuang, located between Shanghai and Suzhou, is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, where more than 40 films and TV series are filmed.
Zhouzhuang "the town is Zeguo, surrounded by water", and the river runs through the town in the shape of a well. "It's just a short trip, and it must be by boat." Xiaozhouzhuang has ten ancient bridges with a history of 400 to 800 years.
Zhouzhuang Town has a history of 900 years. The river in the town is in the shape of a well, and there are many bridges in the town. There are 89 ancient bridges with a history of more than 400 years. Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan in Ming Dynasty, lived here. He was so rich that Zhu Yuanzhang coveted him. He personally funded the restoration of one third of the Ming wall in Nanjing. Shen Wansan has many industries all over the country, but he has always regarded Zhouzhuang as his foundation.
Small bridges and flowing water are the characteristics of water towns, and almost every family in water towns has docks. Another scene in Zhouzhuang is that "the car enters from the front door and the boat passes through the house". "Ship passing by the door" means that there is a small river "Qi Jing" flowing in the middle of Zhang Ting's yard, and there is a 10-foot square pool in Zhang Ting's yard, where the ship can dock and unload.
Wang Xiaomei, the first person to develop water tourism.
In the early 1990s, in Zhouzhuang, the first person who thought of taking guests for sightseeing by boat was an old woman named Wang Xiaomei, whose ancestral home was Shandong. She is a fisherman. 1997 is 82 years old and she is still sailing. She said that she started traveling because life was hard. Now there are more than 60 cruise ships in Zhouzhuang, but Wang Xiaomei's boat can see at a glance that all the other boats are paddling, and only one boat is sculling. Many TV stations rent her boat for filming, and she is responsible for explaining along the way.
Quiet nights in the water town are very interesting. Because the water town is surrounded by a small river, you can only enter the town through a high arch bridge. So far, it is impossible to take a motor vehicle in the town, and the motorcycles of the residents in the town can only be pushed across the bridge into the town, so every evening, the water town is always very quiet.
Longxing inn
If you can stay in Zhouzhuang for one day, you'd better stay in a hotel in the old city. Although the hotel conditions in the town are not as good as those outside, living in the town can better experience the night view of the water town. There is a "Longxing Inn" in Zhouzhuang, next to Shuangqiao, a famous scenic spot. It's a family hotel with only seven or eight rooms, which is very suitable for students.
Rooms in Zhouzhuang Town are tight during the tourist season, so you can contact Longxing Inn in advance.
Zhouzhuangde flavor food
Zhouzhuang has many special snacks. The most distinctive features are Shen Wansan's favorite elbows and pig's trotters. They originated from Shen Wansan's family in the Ming Dynasty, and they are essential dishes for entertaining distinguished guests. The local name is ten thousand three cubits and ten thousand three hooves. The practice is to use a big casserole, and after a day and a night of simmering, the temperature is very particular, and several pieces should be simmered. Cook it properly. If it is too bad, it will be fragile and destroy its original shape. After simmering, the skin color sauce is red and the whole hoof remains intact. When eating, use thin bones in hooves instead of knives. They are sold in local restaurants, and local residents also eat 3,000 hooves during festivals.
Other specialties include Wansan cake, cucumber, shrimp, Sanweiyuan and local fresh water. There is also an aquatic plant water shield in Zhouzhuang, which is used to make soup. It's delicious. Hans Zhang, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, refers to the "water shield bass soup" made of water shield and bass.
The second of the two scams in Zhouzhuang is Bayu in Zhouzhuang. An ugly little fish, but the adult's index finger is long and weighs no more than two ounces, is actually called the king of fish. Four pieces are not enough for a side dish, so killing people is not negotiable, 38 yuan.
These two places make people feel cheated. The ticket for Zhouzhuang is 100 yuan, which makes me feel that Zhouzhuang, which is very commercialized, is seriously unworthy of its name. I don't know who sealed the first water town in Jiangnan. I think it's too exaggerated. The ancient town that can be visited in two hours is more expensive than Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. I will never go to Zhouzhuang again in my lifetime.
