Wuzhen
Yu Shangxi, an expert in local literature and history in Tongxiang, who has edited monographs such as "Chongfu Town Chronicle" and "Wuzhen Zhi", recommended three candidate lists for the "Eight Views of Jiahe in the New Era": Pillow Water People's Home (Wuzhen), Hengjie Ancient Rhyme, and Canal Shengjiao.
Yu Shangxi said that pillow water people now seem to have become a pronoun for Wuzhen, "Since the development of Wuzhen Scenic Area, its advertising words have also been promoted in this way." The architecture of this place is all unfolding along the river, and its gallery and water pavilion are very distinctive. But he also believes that this scene should have a more appropriate and appropriate name.
Wuzhen has a long history, since ancient times is the land of fish and rice, although after more than 2,000 years of vicissitudes, it still completely preserves the original style and pattern of the original water town and ancient town, and enjoys the reputation of "China's last pillow water people".
Xizha, Dongzha, Wucun, Mao Dun's Former Residence, Muxin Art Museum and other famous attractions attract visitors from all over the world with their original water town style and profound cultural heritage. The annual Wuzhen Drama Festival and the World Internet Conference give new vitality and vitality to the ancient town, so that the ink Wuzhen and modern civilization intersect, showing the humanistic feelings of inheriting the ancient and modern and integrating the world.
Chongfu Hengjie
Yu Shangxi introduced that Chongfu Hengjie became a prototype in the Yuan Dynasty, and after Jiajing gradually became the main commercial and residential block of Chongde County, its original public space texture is still well preserved, and the style of Jiangnan Water Town with small bridges and flowing water is still faintly recognizable. "Most of the houses are born of water, built by the water, along the water into the street, and thrive on the water."
In the western section of Hengjie Street, the former residence of many people. There are mainly Lao Yongjiabu political envoys who served as envoys to Shandong during the Ming Dynasty, Shouyutang in the former residence of the poet Wu Zhizhen in the early Qing Dynasty, Lucaotang in the former residence of wu Tao, a famous painter of the Hai school, Yizhitang in the former residence of Xu Zihua, the former residence of Qiu Jin's close friend Xu Zihua, Qingxu Hall in the former residence of Ma Zhaoyi, the first civil affairs minister of the early Ming Dynasty, Dunhou Hall, the former residence of the famous football general Dai Linjing, and the former residence of Cheng Qingguo, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Hengjie is now a provincial-level cultural security unit.
Yu Shangxi also recommended the canal scenery of Tongxiang, and he gave the name Canal Shengjiao.
The Jiangnan Ancient Canal is 41.7 kilometers long in Tongxiang, accounting for one-tenth of the Jiangnan Canal and one-third of the Zhejiang Section of the Canal.
Puyuan, Wutong, Wuzhen, Shimen, Fengming, Chongfu, Cannabis and other towns (streets) are scattered on the banks of the canal, all of which are prosperous because of the water. In the old days, on the canal in Tongxiang, it is expected that there will be fourteen single-hole stone arch bridges across the pond, such as the Xiangao Bridge, the Sima Gao Bridge, and the Soap Forest Sisters Double Bridge, which have magnificent historical and cultural elements.
In Chongfu Town District, the only ancient canal, Ming Dynasty canal, and newly opened canal waterway in Jiangnan has been formed, and the three rivers flow together.
Phoenix Lake
Chu Wangen, vice chairman of the Tongxiang Federation of Literature and Literature, recommended four scenes for the "Eight Views of Jiahe in the New Era" - Phoenix Wetland, Baidang Fishing Song, Li Simei, and Sanji Ruxiu.
Phoenix Lake Wetland is located in the northeast of Tongxiang City, Zhendong New Area core location, is a major people's livelihood project invested by Tongxiang Municipal Government, ecological project, supporting landscape projects, there are Denghong Tingxi, Hefeng and Yue, Hanmo Jingfang and other scenic spots and Bohong City Study Room, is also a fully open citizen public welfare scenic spot.
With a far-reaching view, eight major scenic spots, sixteen small scenic spots, and seven cross-lake viewing bridges are dotted among them. In 2017, Fenghuanghu Wetland was rated as "Top Ten Characteristic Wetlands in Zhejiang Province".
Located between Zhouquan Town and Cannabis Town, Baidangyang is the largest wetland in Tongxiang and the last wetland in Tongxiang, and is one of the components of the wetland group in northern Zhejiang.
The wetland stretches white, and the floating pier is clear and the water is muddy. Ancient camphor shades the reeds flying snow, young herons frolicking in the forest fish jumping pond...
White rippling
When we come to Baidangyang, we will be touched by the quiet and peaceful environment, and we will be amazed by the countless free fish of Baidangyang, which has long become a natural big fish pond.
The scene of "Maple Li Simei" is in Taoyuan Village, where Wutong Street is located, Taoyuan Village is the only origin of Tongxiang Maple Plum, and the village is located at the ruins of Licheng 2500 years ago.
Yu Li Simei
According to the Qing Dynasty's "Plum and Plum Genealogy", in the Spring and Autumn Period, when Wu and Yue exchanged wars, the taoyuan that was rich in plum at that time also built a city to resist Wu, and later became known as "Maple Li City".
Taoyuan Village is located in the central production area of Maple Lee. The village is named for its abundant production of peaches and plums, once called Taoyuan Village, and now the main fruit trees are plums, peaches, pears, grapes, etc., with plums as the most, and there are still Panyuan plums, mrs. Li, beauty plums, Huanggu plums, chicken blood plums, lime plums and other varieties.
Sanji Fish Pond is located in Yujiawan Group, Wujing Village, Heshan Town, and is a cultural relics protection unit in Zhejiang Province. There is no way to verify the exact excavation time of the Sankey fish pond, and the local villagers only know that this place has been known as "Nine Ponds and Thirteen Ponds" since ancient times.
Sankey Fish Pond
At present, there are still 10 fish ponds of different sizes in the village, which is a historical heritage of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Basin. The villagers here use this Sanji fish pond to realize a green ecological cycle breeding mode of mulberry leaf silkworm farming, silkworm manure feeding fish, and pond mud and fertilizer mulberry.
Tongxiang literary and historical scholar Yu Zhenhong also recommended Hengjie and Baidangyang.
"The places I am familiar with, in addition to the two ancient towns of Puyuan in Wuzhen, there are also LuosiTan in Cannabis Town, Yeling Beach and Sandong Ring Bridge in Zhouquan Town, Hengjie Street in Chongfu Town, Yanjiao Temple in Gaoqiao Street in the Ming Dynasty Ancient Hall, and Jiejing Bridge in Shimen Town, all of which are good, and the key recommendations are Hengjie and Baidangyang."
Yu Zhenhong said that these two scenic spots, Tongxiang people basically know, have a reputation, one is a humanistic ancient town, the other is a natural style. "White ripples, in a word: red indigo white ping, crab fishing singing, the so-called Yi people, on the water side."
Zhu Hongzhong, a local cultural relics worker in Tongxiang, recommended the Changhe Split Wave (Shimen Grand Canal).
Zhu Hongzhong said that when the Grand Canal arrives at The Shimen Canal Bay, on the one hand, you can see the stone stele of Wuyue Border, giving people a kind of time and space imagination; on the other hand, you can see the boats in the Grand Canal coming and going, and there is a prosperous atmosphere. "The cultural function and transportation function of the Grand Canal can be intuitively felt."
With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the town from the south to the east, forming a 120-degree turn, known as the "First Bay of the Ancient Canal of Thousand Miles", so it is called "Shimen Bay", also known as "Shiwan".
Shek Mun Bay
Standing at the stone stele of "Ancient Wu Crossing the Border", thinking about the swing of history, it seems that you can still hear the sound of iron hooves and fighting when Wu and Yue were at war.
Lu Minggang, who grew up in Chongfu and returned to Chongfu to engage in people's livelihood work after graduation, recommended his hometown Chongfu Ancient Town.
He introduced that Chongfu is the only thousand-year-old county town in Tongxiang, with a history of more than 6,000 years of civilization. The three major architectural features in the town have their own characteristics, one is the characteristics of the ancient county town with the canal as the axis and the city river as the ring, the second is the characteristics of the fishbone courtyard and the water town street market where the water gathers merchants, and the third is the jiangnan architectural characteristics of the lake emblem and the outside and the inner show.
Chongfu Ancient Town
The Chongfu Canal has a profound heritage, and the three sections of the sui, Tang, Ming dynasty and modern times are unique to the Jiangnan region, and are the historical and cultural pearls of the canal that integrate and communicate the Civilization of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. "In the east of the canal, there is the only Confucius Temple in northern Zhejiang, Zhongshan Park, steamship dock, stone fortress salt warehouse, Republic of China bungalow, No. 10 late Qing Dynasty residence, etc.; in the west of the canal, there is the West Temple Jingang Hall, the former residence group of celebrities on Hengjie Street, and the ruins of Xinqiao."
Citizens who work in shopping malls also recommend Phoenix Lake. "There are green areas, there is a lake, walking, running are suitable, for us it is more leisurely." Walking on the boardwalk, you can enjoy the beauty of Phoenix Lake from a different angle. ”
Xu Minxiang, who does the homestay, recommends Wuzhen even more, "The former residence of Mao Dun in Wuzhen, the Muxin Art Museum, and the main venue of the Internet Conference can all be said." In Nanzha Old Street, there are indigenous people living and imaginary water town life. In terms of naming, he recommended that Wuzhen can use the element of "return". "Fight outside, struggle forward, and eventually return to your hometown."
