The old school pre-school went east to the middle of Lindun Road and west to Pishi Street, which was connected to Cause and Effect Lane. The road is 415 long and 9 meters wide.
The old song dynasty was named String Song Li, which was the place of the music official office - the teaching workshop at that time. Later, because Changzhou (a county in the Suzhou area at that time) was located on the north side of the street, commonly known as preschool, Ming Jiajing twenty years (1541) county school moved east to the current Ganjiang Road Suzhou Pingjiang Experimental School, so it was called the old preschool.

Different street scenes in the years are bound to be different, only the size of the change, there is no stay in the scenery.
The street surface of the old school a hundred years ago is not much wider than the suspension bridge alley, and there are many shops, in addition to tea houses, bookstores, and casinos, the most is the Yizhuang store. "Wear (wear) the old school", translated into the current words, is the most noisy clothing street in Suzhou.

Fifty years ago, the old school road was widened, but it was still much narrower than today, and it was still a pedestrian passage. The street is not noisy nor deserted, coming out of the Oxhorpot, the academy is diagonally opposite, a tobacco miscellaneous shop and a dim sum shop are quite large. At that time, there were very few foreigners in Suzhou, early in the morning, the tobacco and miscellaneous shop had not yet opened, the dim sum shop business was busy, and all the suzhou gossip that bounced up on the ground was Suzhou gossip, and the crisp could spread far. "A large piece of bread and two fritters, two crab shells yellow a bowl of soy milk, salty pulp, raw fried steamed buns to a guest ..."
In the old school days, the width of the road is still not enough to raise eyebrows, but it has been widened again, and the organic road has been opened. However, it seems that the width has reached its limit. Usually, the buses and private cars are still quite smooth, and there is only one word left on holidays, "blocking".
A year before the old school, there must be a subway station (already under construction) at the Lynton junction. What it will look like in another fifty years is hard to say.
The future is unpredictable, and we must not forget the important and big things that happened in the past on Linton Road, which is not only the history of Linton Road but also the inheritance of Wu culture.
The old pre-school Bunksang Temple.
Shangshu Wen Tianxiang, the southern Song Dynasty soldiers, once organized the army and civilians to fight against the Yuan soldiers in Suzhou. Wen Tianxiang was respected by the people of Suzhou. In the 10th year of Ming Zhengde (1515), suzhou people built a martyrs' shrine at No. 30, Wencheng Xiang Lane, Xiatang, Zhangmen, also known as Wenshan Ancestral Hall or Wen Cheng Xiang Ancestral Hall, in commemoration of Wen Tianxiang. In the 20th year of Jiajing (1541), the ancestral hall of Wenxiang Temple was moved to the old school, and the ancestral hall of The original Xiang Temple was changed to Wenshan Temple, which is still full of incense and is still a bhikshuni jungle.
Wenshan Temple
The original site of the former Wen Cheng Xiang Ancestral Hall is near today's Huaxia Bank. The regulations are quite large. In addition to sacrificing and commemorating Wen Tianxiang, Wenshan Ancestral Hall has also played a role in leading the times. In 1897, Suzhou celebrities Zhang Yilin and Zhang Yu, in response to the Penghu Reform Law, modeled on the Qiangxue Society to run a "Su Society", and the address was selected at the Wencheng Ancestral Hall to teach students Western studies.
The Wen Cheng Xiang Ancestral Hall and the stone statue enshrined in the temple are still in the 1950s. I heard that during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wen Chengxiang was also angry and appeared. Once, when the Japanese planes bombed Suzhou and flew over the old school, Wen Cheng was so angry that his eyes were cracked, and the little Japanese also dared to deceive China, waving their hands to block the shells that were about to land in Suzhou, and the shells fell impartially in the well...
There is also a Wenshan School (primary school) in the Wencheng Ancestral Hall, which is attended by school-age schoolchildren from residents near Linton Road. Later, The Wenshan Academy (Primary School) was merged into the Ziyi Primary School in Niujiaobang, and the Wencheng Ancestral Hall was demolished.

In the history of Suzhou City, there are three temples of literature, the first of which, the Suzhou Temple of Literature in Sanyuanfang, is a Suzhou Fuxue established by Fan Zhongyan, and is also a temple of literature dedicated to Confucius, the master of the Wanshi. The second seat, Wu County School, the third Changzhou County School. Wuxian County School has long disappeared like the place name of Wu County; Changzhou County School can still see the style of that year from the Dacheng Hall and several ancient ginkgo trees on the campus of Pingjiang Experimental School.
Changzhou County School was founded in the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1265), and the starting address was in the old school. The address is today's Dacheng Fang North Exit. The original site of the prefectural school was originally the Buddhist temple Chongwu Zen Temple. Chongwu Zen Temple (Guanghua Temple) name. There used to be a Hirowaji Bridge on the river hama of the old school. Chongwu Zen Temple, built in the third year of Liang Qianyuanhua (913), was built by the Wu Yue general Zhuge Shi's residence, and in the first year of Song Xiangfu (1008), it was changed to Guanghua Temple. After being burned by the army, the monk Zheng Qingli's medicine saved one party, and built a large hall, a hall of worship, and a hall of ten Buddhas with the proceeds. In the second year of Chunxi (1175), the Tibetan Scripture Cabinet was built. In Xianchun (1265-1274), it was rebuilt as Cheung Chau County School. After the twentieth year of Ming Jiajing (1541), Changzhou County moved east.

Changzhou County School has a history of nearly three hundred years before the old school, from the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1265) to the twentieth year of Ming Jiajing (1541). Three hundred years is not qualified for Suzhou, which has a history of 2,500 years; however, for life, this "height" of three hundred years, even if there is the greatest heart and the most ambitious copper tungsten, it is not up to it.
Think about three hundred years and it's remarkable. In the past three hundred years, among the talents who have read books in Changzhou County, how many scholars have entered the school, how many champions have won, and how many students have become eunuchs and poets... It may be difficult to verify. However, the influence of these talents on Suzhou at that time and even on China has become a glorious page in the history of China and Suzhou.
