There is such a city in Jiangsu, she is at the end of the river, the throat of the Yangtze River, because it is located in the "yin of the great river"; it has a long history and a collection of humanities, known as "Yanling Guyi", "The State of Loyalty and Righteousness", "Furong City". In ancient times, she pillowed the mountains and waters, and carried the three Wu, which was a place where soldiers and families had to fight; today, she is located in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, an important transportation hub between the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the shipping of the river and sea is convenient. She is Jiangyin City.
Mention the loud and bright name of "Jiangyin", I believe that everyone will be impressed by the economy here, the top 100 counties (cities) in the country are among the best, and they are national civilized cities, national sanitary cities, happy, harmonious and hygienic living environment, and are the beautiful city business cards of Jiangyin.
Not only that, in this beautiful small city in Jiangnan, there is also a legendary history and picturesque scenery, and I came to Jiangyin with curiosity.
As a 7,000-year history of human life, 5,000 years of civilization, 2,500 years of written records and more than 1,700 years of county history, Jiangyin has a very rich historical heritage, and looking back at the happy, harmonious and prosperous Jiangyin, ancient and modern, so that this small city in Jiangnan exudes unique charm.
Since ancient times, Jiangsu attaches great importance to cultural education, Nanjing is more enjoying the reputation of "the hub of the heavens", half of the "Champions" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are from the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and there is such an ancient site in Jiangyin, which is the site of the Jiangsu Xuezheng Office, which is the office of the entire Jiangsu Eight Provinces and Three Prefectures that presided over the examination "Xiucai", in charge of the education affairs of the entire Jiangsu Province.
Jiangsu Xuezheng Ya Bureau was founded in the Ming Dynasty (1614), in 1904 with the abolition of the imperial examination system and gradually declined, during these 290 years, Jiangsu Xuezheng Ya Bureau has successively served 124 xuezheng, the scale is very large, known as "Jiangnan First Ya Bureau".
At the beginning, the School Administration had Yimen, Dragon Gate, Lobby, Left Examination Shed Examination Hall, Dormitory, Canteen, Back Garden and other buildings, and the overall thirteen-entry pattern was also due to disrepair and war, only Yimen remained, in order to let everyone understand that period of history, the local government has renovated and expanded here, that is, today's Jiangyin Zhongshan Park, which has become an open and free urban garden.
There is also a back garden hidden in the School Office, the history of which dates back to the Wanchun Garden in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was originally a private garden garden, pavilions, galleries, rockeries, and bichi dotted in it, the small family jasper-style garden is very exquisite, the environment is quiet, although there is no carved beam painting building, the richness of the Flying Pavilion Liudan, but it is also very wild.
Xingguo Garden is located in Jiangyin City South Street, originally there is no garden here, originally the site of Xingguo Temple, so far preserved a northern Song Dynasty ancient pagoda that has been more than a thousand years old, in order to protect this thousand-year-old pagoda and built a classical garden, but also reproduced many ancient bridges and ancient buildings disappeared in the history of Jiangyin.
Walking into the Xingguo Garden, it is not difficult to find that this is a beautiful Jiangnan garden, the pavilions in the garden, the winding path corridor, the rockery with the water, the vegetation is luxuriant, with a poetic charm, and now it is also a good place for citizens to take a leisure walk, and the harmonious life between people and the city is unobstructed here.
For tourists, it is also worth visiting, after all, there is also a thousand-year-old pagoda Xingguo Pagoda.
Xingguo Pagoda was built in the Northern Song Dynasty during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, since its completion has been linked to the war, the original pavilion-style brick and wood structure of the seven-level floating tu (stupa), in the Yuan to the first year of the war was destroyed, the Ming Orthodox years after the restoration increased to nine levels, qing Jiaqing period wooden structure destroyed by fire, the Republic of China fourteen years by artillery fire hit the spire, the current Xingguo Pagoda although mutilated, but also has its own unique shape.
Since ancient times, Jiangyin celebrities have emerged, such as the Southern Song Dynasty minister Ge Shao, the famous Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake, the late Qing Dynasty poet Jiang Chunlin, and the three modern cultural celebrities Liu Brothers (Liu Bannong, Liu Tianhua, Liu Beimao) are all famous figures in Jiangyin.
In Jiangyin's bustling Renmin Road, there is a celebrity former residence, a few ordinary Jiangnan houses seem to be incompatible with the surroundings, but the birth of famous linguists, ethnic musicians, here is the former residence of the Liu brothers, has been more than 150 years of history.
The interior decoration of the white-walled Dewa house is particularly antique, which is roughly composed of three bays, two entrances, box rooms, three courtyards and three patios, and even if it has been repaired, it has preserved the original life scene and remains to the greatest extent.
In the eyes of the locals, the three brothers of the Liu clan are Liu Sanjie, Liu Bannong is a famous writer and linguist, when teaching at Peking University, the first to propose the use of the word "she" to refer to the third person woman; Liu Tianhua is the second brother of Liu Bannong, the expression of erhu and pipa to an unprecedented realm; Liu Beimao created more than 100 erhu performance songs in his lifetime, and is a famous national music master.
I have to say that Jiangyin is not only economically prosperous, the environment is good, is a very livable city, especially when stepping on the Jiangyin Urban Greenway, there is an instant feeling that the residents living here are really happy, the Jiangyin Greenway has distinct characteristics, greens the environment, and beautifies the lives of residents.
Different from the greenway we have seen in the past, Jiangyin Greenway is an urban greenway that integrates ecological corridors, cultural scenery, tourism, slow travel space, rest and entertainment areas and modern aesthetics, and connects the rivers, rivers, lakes, gardens, forests, etc. of Jiangyin, and won the "Most Beautiful Running Route in Jiangsu" last year.
Strictly speaking, this place is not a tourist attraction, but it connects the popular attractions in Jiangyin, and it is also a must-punch place for Internet celebrities.
Jiangyin is located at the head of the Jiangwei Sea, "Jiangyin Three Fresh" must be a must-taste gourmet cuisine, namely fat but not greasy anchovies, meaty and tender knife fish and "the most dangerous delicacy" pufferfish, in Jiangyin The cooking technology of these three dishes is a must in China. Of course, there are crabs, river mussels, warpfish, stinky salmon, catfish, river eels and other river fresh.
I believe that people who have come to Jiangyin have eaten knife fish wontons, is a famous snack in Jiangyin, its taste is very delicious, eating a dense taste with the aroma of leeks in the tip of the tongue, let people feast, endless aftertaste.
If you have the opportunity, you should come to Jiangyin to see the historical heritage, cultural scenery and fireworks atmosphere hidden in this economically prosperous city, which is a city with temperature, warming the residents living here, and also warming the hearts of people who have come to the past.
