preface
This month, Changzhou's first substantive law, the Regulations on the Protection of Famous Historical and Cultural Cities in Changzhou (Draft), was deliberated and passed. The first substantive law focuses on the protection of historical and cultural cities, which shows the importance that Changzhou attaches to this.
As early as last year, Changzhou has been included in the national historical and cultural city. Among them, the north shore before and after plays an important role as an important part.
The north shore is in the downtown area of Changzhou
The area is about 30,000 square meters
South of Yanling West Road
To the north is Yingchun Pedestrian Street
To the east is the Square of the Palace of Culture
It is bordered by Jinling Middle Road to the west
The north shore has a history of about 1,000 years. According to the "Wujin Palm Ancestor", the north bank before and after the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty was called Gu Tangjian. To its south is the Gutang River, also known as the City River, also known as the Hou River. It faces the Baiyunxi River to the north, its west is pointed, it is the connection between the Gutang River and Baiyun Creek, and its east borders the County School Street, forming a peninsula-shaped tip surrounded by water on three sides and landing on one side. At the southwest end of the tip, there is a stone bridge called Gutang Bridge, which spans the Gutang River diagonally, and in addition to the county school street in the east, the north bank archway is the main passage for people to enter and exit the peninsula. Daoguang's "Wuyang Hezhi Fangxiang" only records the name of "North Shore", regardless of the front and back. After the Qing Dynasty, it was called the front and rear north shore.
It is also the context of Changzhou, where celebrities gather and are like stars. From the Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, there have been 7 secretaries of state, 5 champions, 3 list eyes, 3 tanhua, and it is difficult to count the number of jinshi. In the Qing Dynasty, the seven sons of Biling, who are famous in the national poetry circle, Hong Liangji, Zhao Huaiyu and other 5 people are from here, and the "Vine Flower Old Hall" in the block is the final place of Su Dongpo, a generation of great literary heroes, which can be called the "Zhuangyuan Neighborhood, Jiangnan Literary Eye" with a blazing literary style for hundreds of years.
While retaining the original appearance to fully display the history and culture, the north bank has integrated a variety of formats to meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the citizens, making it gradually become the cultural window of Tianning, the cultural highlight of Changzhou, and the cultural business card of the whole country.
A thousand years at a glance, brick by brick
It's all stories
After passing through the bustling and noisy Yanling West Road, we saw a stone arch and arrived at the well-preserved ancient street in Changzhou City - the north bank of the front and back. Its quiet and quaint atmosphere greets you, and it is particularly relaxed and leisurely to walk in.
The north bank before and after the Ming and Qing dynasties have been well preserved. The contiguous houses here are not rough and clumsy antique buildings, but old houses with slight renovation and carving, and the ancient meaning pervades the street lanes, ancient and not dilapidated, elegant but secular.
