The famous writer Xu Chi, in his work "Jiangnan Town", used 66 "crystal crystals" to describe his hometown of Nanxun, which shows how attached he is to his hometown.
When he was young, Xu Chi worked as a teacher in Nanxun for several years. In his later years, others were not in Nanxun, but their hearts were in Nanxun, and his last works, "Jiangnan Town" and "News from Hometown", were all writing about his hometown nanxun.
Seeing this, some people may ask: Where is Nanxun?
Nanxun, located in the south of Taihu Lake, bordering Suzhou to the east and Huzhou city to the west, is the eastern gate of Huzhou connecting with Shanghai Pudong.
Nanxun Town, built in the Southern Song Dynasty, has a history of nearly 800 years. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, it has been full of merchants and prosperous economy. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanxun produced many celebrities. In modern times, Nanxun is still full of talents, such as Zhang Jingjiang, who was called the first strange person in China by Sun Yat-sen, that is, Nanxun people, Nanxun also produced the famous writer Xu Chi, 8 academicians, more than 250 professors and experts, a small town, can produce so many talents, which is rare in China. Therefore, Nanxun has the reputation of "the state of poetry and books". With its unique historical status and cultural landscape, Nanxun has also won the title of "China's Top Ten Charming Towns".
Nanxun is a typical Jiangnan water town, small bridge flowing water, bluestone slab road, Wu Nong soft language. The ancient town has a profound cultural heritage, and the scenic spots and historical sites and water town scenery are harmonious and unified, full of poetic charm.
Nanxun Ancient Town is one of the six ancient towns in Jiangnan, and it is also the only ancient town in Jiangnan that combines Chinese and Western styles.
Nanxun has had many cultural landscapes since ancient times. According to the "Garden Chronicle of Jiangnan", "(Nanxun) has five gardens in the land of one town, and all of them are huge structures, which are only seen in Jiangnan".
Nanxun's cultural landscape is represented by the Jiangnan Garden Xiaolianzhuang, the private library Building Jiaye Hall, and the Ming and Qing Dynasty Water Town Building Hundred Buildings. Today, these buildings are the best spots for sightseeing.
Xiaolianzhuang is the private garden of Liu Yong, the richest man in Nanxun in the Qing Dynasty. It was founded in the eleventh year of Guangxu and has a history of more than 130 years, and is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The layout of Xiaolianzhuang is unique, divided into two gardens, inside and outside. The inner garden is the garden within the garden, and the outer garden is the lotus pond. The garden design is unique, and it is beautiful to walk through it, step by step.
Adjacent to Xiaolianzhuang, the Jiayetang Library was founded by Liu Chenggan, the grandson of Liu Yong. He built the library from 1920 to 1924. Later, in the next twenty years, he spent 300,000 taels of silver to collect various books, and obtained 600,000 volumes, a total of 160,000 volumes. This library building, named after the "Drink JiaYe" Kowloon gold plaque donated by Puyi, is generally designed as a garden-style layout of Chinese and Western styles, with a total of 52 libraries and a large patio in the middle.
Hundred rooms building, is a very Jiangnan style of ancient architecture. It is located in the ancient town of Dongbaijian Lou river on both sides, its owner is the Ming Wanli calendar year Rebbe Shangshu Dongfen, this building has a history of more than 400 years, a total of 100 rooms, hence the name, showing the economic strength of its owner. Hundreds of buildings meander along the river, and make full use of space to build arcades, which can be shaded in summer and sheltered from rain on rainy days, which is a good place for leisure and vacation.
Nanxun people are brilliant, and the specialties are quite abundant, the most famous of which is the lake silk.
The Husi of Nanxun was named Jili Lake Silk because it was produced in Jili Village. It is the best of silk and is recognized as the best silk in the world.
As early as the Ming Dynasty, Jili Lake Silk was famous. At that time, the emperor's yellow robe clearly stipulated that it must be made of Jili Lake silk, which showed its gold and preciousness. In modern times, hundreds of families in Nanxun have become rich families because of the production of Jili Lake silk, so Nanxun has the saying of "four elephants, eight cattle and seventy golden dogs".
In 1851, Xu Rongcun, a Shanghainese, took Jili Lake Silk to London, England, to participate in the first World Exposition. Unexpectedly, Jili Husi won the gold medal in one fell swoop and became famous in the world.
In addition to Husi, Nanxun is also rich in lake pens, and it is also known as the "capital of China's lake pens". Nanxun's lake pen, exquisite selection of materials, fine craftsmanship, has the characteristics of "sharp, qi, round, healthy, rigid and soft".
The tip of the lake pen has a neat and transparent edge, which is refined by nearly 100 processes such as dipping, plucking and other high-quality goats. In 1961, Guo Moruo once mentioned the lake pen in his poem: "The lake pen competes for wang Yipin, the book comes to the ink to help the hall, the calyx beach blue waves new rhyme, the empty valley Youlan sends distant incense." Guo Moruo compared the lake pen with the empty valley Youlan, and highly praised the exquisite lake pen, so that more Chinese and foreign cultural circles knew the lake pen.
In addition to HuSi and Lake Pen, Nanxun's Zhou Sheng Ji wontons are also a major specialty.
The founder of Zhou Sheng Ji Wonton is called Zhou Jixiang. In 1930, Zhou Jixiang opened a wonton shop and named it "Zhou Sheng Ji Wonton Shop". He pays great attention to the quality of wontons, its raw materials are pork front leg meat as the main ingredient, bamboo shoots, sesame seeds as accessories, adding sesame oil, wine, sugar, salt and other spices mixed into filling, and processing with thin, tough, smooth and other characteristics of the skin, so that the wontons are not broken after cooking. After the wontons are cooked, the color is bright and crystalline, and the fragrance is overflowing, which is called "crystal yuanbao" by customers. Sprinkle some shallots, egg skin shreds, and homemade soy sauce when eating, the taste is fresh and tender, so that customers can not get tired of eating.
Nanxun Ancient Town also has a highlight, that is, the night view here.
As an ancient town in Jiangnan with a history of nearly 800 years, the traditional custom of Nanxun - "water wedding" has also been inherited. In ancient times, Nanxun was mainly based on waterway transportation, and boats were used for marriage. Today, the "water wedding" is still staged here, and the festive scenes make people linger.
At night, Nanxun no longer has the noise of the day, everything is calm, sitting on the shore, looking at the stone bridge flowing water, like a Jiangnan landscape painting.
Nanxun Ancient Town integrates Jiangnan's water town, culture, diet and economy into one, forming a unique regional style. Nanxun Ancient Town is beautiful in mountains and water, and people are more beautiful.
At that time, the writer Xu Chi used 66 "crystal crystals" to praise Nanxun, and thus, "crystal crystals" also became the city brand of Nanxun.
At the end of 2020, a new girl group competition variety show was born with this inspiration, which is the first domestic youth idol inspirational competition variety show "Crystal Crystal Nanxun Crystal Girl". Since the show was broadcast on the online platform last year, it has received rave reviews and attracted attention from all walks of life.
When the national launch ceremony of "Crystal Crystal Nanxun Crystal Girl" was held in Nanxun Ancient Town, Zhang Shaogang, Li Bo, Jiang Yingrong and other celebrities gathered in Nanxun to help the selection and recruitment of "Crystal Crystal Girl". Subsequently, the program group carried out offline audition recruitment in 24 cities across the country, including Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Shenyang, Nanjing, Wuhan, Shenzhen, etc., attracting nearly 5,000 people to participate in the registration in just half a month.
On the stage of "Crystal Crystal Nanxun Crystal Girl", the girls in the flower season sang and danced, and everyone could show their talents on this stage. It's as the show's theme song sings —
Small bridge flowing water to fly swallows
Pink Peach Green Willow Poetry Scroll
Carved beam painting building
Arch Bridge Lane
Tibet for a hundred years of time and space
Fishing boats tie ropes against the shore
Wu Nong smiled softly
Wait for who writes
Different seasons
A colorful page
Bluestone shore head
Flower umbrella shadow lightly stepped
The light is red lined with pink daisy
Neon skirt hem
Fanghua is graceful
Cover the face and fan open
Crystal Girl
Confidence sparkles on every side
Anyone can shine
Vitality flashes in the discharge
Life is crystal clear
Dreams refract the whole world
Such a Nanxun, ancient and youthful, is suitable for both movement and stillness. It belongs to Xu Chi, and it also belongs to every crystal crystal girl.
