Zhujiajiao is located in the transportation hub of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai provinces, and its geographical position is very superior. It is adjacent to Hongqiao International Airport in the east, Kunshan in the north, Jiaxing in the south and Wang Ping in the west. In the lower reaches of Dianshan Lake, Caogang River, a golden waterway, passes through the town. Nine long streets extending along the river, thousands of Ming and Qing buildings standing by the water, 36 ancient stone bridges and places of interest abound. Tired of playing with man-made landscapes with similar prices, people are surprised that there are still well-preserved natural landscapes in the suburbs of Shanghai, where they can find a kind of enjoyment of returning to nature and advocating wild interest. No wonder a famous professor of Tongji University was amazed after inspecting Zhujiajiao: "Zhujiajiao has such a rich cultural background, which is not only a treasure of Shanghai, but also a national treasure". Sanmao, a famous late writer in Taiwan Province, was fascinated by the pattern of "a small bridge with flowing water" and intoxicated by the quiet and picturesque style. After visiting Zhujiajiao ancient town, Wu Bangguo, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, wrote the inscription "Zhujiajiao, a historic town in China".
"The natural scenery of small bridges and flowing water is the true face of Ming and Qing Streets". Many film and television directors can't help but take a fancy to the natural location here, putting the graceful charm of the ancient water town on the screen and TV again and again, and sometimes there will be a grand occasion for several films to start shooting at the same time. Zhujiajiao has become a hot spot in film and television shooting at home and abroad, and is known as "Hollywood in the suburbs of Shanghai".
Zhujiajiao, a famous town, has a long history. During the steelmaking period of 1958, people in the town miraculously dried up the lakes in the north of the town in order to find iron. At the bottom of the lake, people unexpectedly found a large number of Neolithic relics, which proved to be Majiabang culture, Songze culture, Liangzhu culture and cultural relics from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. From 65438 to 0959, a large number of stone knives, stone plows, stone spinning wheels and printed pottery pieces were salvaged in Dianshan Lake. These relics from the Neolithic Age to the Warring States Period prove that the ancestors of Zhujiajiao lived and multiplied here thousands of years ago.
1930, Julie Daily published a story about "The Tomb of General Wu Dong Gan Ning was excavated in Ningbang, Dongxiang", which proved that Zhujiajiao had formed a village market in the Three Kingdoms period more than 1700 years ago. According to historical records, Zhujiajiao had formed a market in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, named Zhujiacun. The famous temples in the town, such as Yuanjin Temple and Cimen Temple, were built between the Yuan Dynasty and Mindfulness. It is conceivable that the ancient town is densely populated and has begun to take shape. Due to the convenient transportation across the Caogang River in the town, the business is booming and there are thousands of fireworks. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the town was officially built, and the Pearl Street Pavilion was also called Zhuxi. "Zhu Li Xiao Zhi" was compiled in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, with Julie as the town name, commonly known as Li Jiao. Song Rulin once described this in the preface to The Pearl Story: "Today, the Pearl is a corner of Qingxi, with thousands of fireworks, which connects Kunshan in the north and Shui Gu in the south. Its endless streets, busy businessmen, and Shui Mu Tsinghua, where scholars and writers come forth in large numbers ... Those who have been inside envy the wind on the river bank, but they are better than those who have been in Levin.
On a par with it. "From this, we can appreciate the prosperity and human feelings of Zhujiajiao 200 years ago.
Zhujiajiao has a unique natural environment, convenient waterway transportation, many businessmen and frequent exchanges. It was once famous for the standard cloth industry in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was known as "the first in the world for clothes and quilts" and became a giant town in the south of the Yangtze River. Sometimes, there is a poem saying, "The land of fish and rice is in trouble at six o'clock, and Nanqiao people avoid making small patrols. The two towns (Zhujing and Fengjing) are not as good as Zhu Jieting, so it is always unknown to see the map." At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Zhujiajiao rice industry rose, which promoted the prosperity of all walks of life. At that time, there were "three miles in the long street, thousands of shops", many old shops and famous shops, north and south department stores, and all walks of life were complete. The rural foot stretches for hundreds of miles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so there is a saying that "three wells (Zhujing, Fengjing and Sijing) are not as good as one corner (Zhujiajiao)".
During the period of the Republic of China, the rice industry was at its peak, and the green and thin rice produced was the highest in Shanghai rice market, which was exported to Beijing and overseas. When rice appeared, the peak reached 20,000 to 30,000 tons (1500-2,250 tons), and 600 tons of rape were harvested every day. The "Zhujiajiao vegetable oil" produced is famous all over the world, as well as industry, handicraft industry and bank pawn. On holidays, more foreign vendors come to the market, restaurants and teahouses are open almost day and night, big vendors walk the streets and snacks stay up all night. At that time, hundreds of agricultural vessels came to harvest rice and blocked the Caogang River.
The charming natural scenery of Zhujiajiao, an ancient town, is surrounded by mountains and lakes. True mountains and waters show the characteristics of Jiangnan water town. The name of this mountain is Dianshan Mountain. Although it is not high, it is very famous. It is the remains of Tianmu Mountain in western Zhejiang. This mountain is the beginning, such as climbing to the lake, and there is a "peak night" scene to enjoy.
Lake, natural fresh water Dianshan Lake, covers an area of 62 square kilometers. Most of the eastern part of the lake is in Zhujiajiao area. Hangzhou has 1 1 West Lake, which covers a large area. You can swim around the lake by boat, and the reeds in the lake area sway gently, which makes you feel far away from the hubbub and relaxed. Zhujiajiao, a famous town, is more attractive and has the characteristics of an ancient town. It is composed of one bridge, one street, one temple, one temple, one hall, one museum, two gardens, three bays and twenty-six lanes. If Zhouzhuang, a 900-year-old water town, is small and exquisite, it looks like a small jasper, while Zhujiajiao, a thousand-year-old town, is magnificent and elegant. First of all, the area of Zhujiajiao ancient town is 1.5 square kilometers, which is more than three times that of Zhouzhuang. Its home is very big and there are many natural places to play. Cao Gang divides Zhujiajiao into Jingting Port on the north bank and North Street on the south bank. There are winding alleys, granite streets, Ming and Qing buildings with blue bricks and tiles, and countless historical sites on both sides.
The first bridge, the first stone arch bridge in Shanghai, is also the largest five-hole stone bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. On July 27th, it was the best to stand on the top of the bridge and watch the clippers swing, while the other 30 ancient stone bridges were as magnificent as Zhouzhuang. In terms of construction and technology, Zhonghe Bridge and Zhaxi Bridge in Zhujiajiao are stronger than Zhouzhuang Double Bridge, and those characteristic bridges are incomparable to Zhouzhuang. Three steps away are "High-low Bridge", "Miniature Landscape" Planting Bridge, "Ka" Qijia Bridge and "Yongfeng Memorial National Shame Bridge".
First Street, the first North Street in Shanghai in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is still so original after many vicissitudes. The unique structure of "first sight" is amazing. Known as "a long street with three miles and thousands of shops and shops", North Street has become the most prosperous ancient street in Jiangnan, which is beyond the reach of other ancient towns in Jiangnan.
The first temple, Guobao Temple, is the lower house of the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai. The Sakyamuni Jade Buddha carved from white jade in Myanmar, the first white jade Guanyin presented by Singapore and the ancient ginkgo are also called the "three treasures" of Guobao Temple.
The first hall, the Town God Temple with a history of more than 200 years, with blue tiles and yellow walls, flying dragons and lucky gourds, and long lattice windows, presents a solemn and magnificent scene full of ancient meanings, and cigarettes are around. Among them, "Dougongtai", "Woodcut Cross Beam" and "nave Painting Axis" (now abandoned) are called "Three Treasures" of the City God Temple, which are very rare.
The first hall is Xi Hall, which is a masterpiece of wealthy family buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. In particular, the "brick carving of wall and door" is a must, with exquisite patterns, exquisite carving and superb skills, which is amazing. The first museum, Wang Chang Memorial Hall, displays nearly 100 physical exhibits, such as Wang Chang wax figure, poetry, calligraphy and painting, inscriptions, looms, old-fashioned beds, etc. of Jinshi in the 19th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, right assistant minister of punishments, and known as "the seven sons of Wu Zhong". Rich in content, informative historical materials, crystal status is extremely high.
The second garden is Kezhi Garden and Zhuxi Park, an ancient one and a modern one; A huge, a delicate, set each other off. Kezhi Garden is a manor-style garden building, covering an area of 96 mu. This garden was built in Ma Yu 19 12, which means "reading while farming". There are bookshops, Xiang Tao Village, pavilions, bridges, halls and rooms in Langfang, and all kinds of buildings and living rooms are available. Zhuxi Park was built in 1956, covering an area of more than 70 mu. It is small and exquisite with beautiful scenery. It is decorated into three gardens in spring, autumn and winter, each with its own characteristics. There are also children's parks, restaurants, teahouses and shops, which are ideal places for rest, eating, shopping and playing.
Three bays, namely: Sanyang Bay, Jiaozhou Bay and Tommy Bay. On the pedestrian street, there are houses all around. I think, at the end of the road, turning at a right angle, a street market is in front of us, which makes people feel wonderful. This strange turning landscape of the old street is rare in other ancient towns, and you can't see it unless Zhujiajiao.
In fact, the Twenty-six Alleys are not just the Twenty-six Gu Xiang in Zhujiajiao. Every street has alleys leading to streets, streets and alleys, forming a network chessboard pattern. Zhujiajiao Gu Xiang is famous for its richness, antiquity, strangeness and profundity, which is unmatched by other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Walking in the alley is like entering a maze, full of fun, exploring the past and enjoying the hutong-style interest in the north, which has the same effect. In recent years, "ancient tourism" has been favored by foreigners and foreigners more and more. It is a precious virgin land and needs further development.
The charm of Zhujiajiao, a famous town, lies in the well-known "three more", that is, there are many celebrities, many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and many rivers, ports, rocks and teahouses.
First of all, there are many celebrities, mainly Zhujiajiao, with quiet environment and pleasant climate. It is a treasure house of research and learning. It has always been a gathering of literati and talented people. In Ming and Qing dynasties, there were 0/6 Jinshi/kloc, including more than 40 people. Among them, Wang Chang, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, Chen, a physician, Lu Tuer, a novelist, Zi Pei, a newspaper magnate, and a stone relief monk are famous.
Secondly, there are many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Historically, many wealthy families and literati built gardens and houses here. There are as many as four or five hundred ancient houses in the town, and people with wind and fire walls, Shikumen and wall doors can be seen everywhere. "Sancha Fishing Village", "Wang Chang's Former Residence", "Fulv's Chronicle" and dozens of places such as Guild Hall, Lushi Family, Chen's Former Residence and Zhongjia Guild Hall, as well as countless Ming and Qing buildings along the street, cornices, white tiles and white walls, and Ming and Qing styles, constitute a painting scroll of ink and wash in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Third, there are many rivers and ports, many rocks and many teahouses. Zhujiajiao is the hometown of water. There are many bridges, rivers and ports, and there are countless cable boats and stones beside them. Various water bridges, various cable boats and stones are all over the rivers and alleys of the town. The unique landscapes of these water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are interesting and intriguing when carefully observed. It is simply a synthesis of history, cultural relics, architecture, customs and art. There are "double-sided floodplain" with protruding stone revetment, "single-sided floodplain" with recessed stone revetment, and "invisible riverbank" where people enter from the front door and the floodplain comes out from the back of the house. The granite relief cable boat stone embedded in the stone barge in the water lane is dazzling and interesting. Some carved into horns, some carved into swords, some carved into monsters, some carved into wishful thinking, showing auspicious and simple beauty. These long-standing carving arts add more charm to the ancient town. There are more than a dozen teahouses in the ancient town, most of which are concentrated in the area of Fangshengqiao and North Street. There are luxurious and newly-built Fangshengqiao Teahouse, old club Teahouse, antique temple buildings, door panels, tables and chairs, simple and cheap farmhouse teahouses, and the most interesting and gratifying thing is that "the teahouse is open to cruise ships".
Zhujiajiao, a famous town, has beautiful water, ancient bridges, strange streets and exquisite gardens. It's hard to explain why you can't walk on the old stone street, explore the deep alleys, walk on the arched stone bridge and take a boat. How can we reflect the feeling that "the boat is on the water and people are traveling in the illustrated world"? !
