I have been longing for Jiangnan. I want to see the small bridge flowing water, the house with white walls and Daiwa, the rain lane on the bluestone road, and maybe meet the lilac girl with an oil-paper umbrella. With all kinds of longings, when the world is full of beauty in April, we come to find the story of spring and come to Wuzhen, which has the reputation of "pillow water family".
Basic information guide of Wuzhen Scenic Area:
Famous scenic spots in Wuzhen: Zhaxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Jiangnan Folk Museum, Mao Dun's former residence, ancient stage, Jiangnan Hundred Bed Museum, etc.
Wuzhen specialty food: blue printed cloth, sister-in-law's cake, stinky dried tofu and silkworm cocoon.
On the drive, the tour guide introduced Wuzhen with great interest: Wuzhen was once called Wu Dun and Qingdun, with a long history of more than 6,000 years. It is one of the six ancient towns in Jiangnan. Wuzhen is a typical Jiangnan water town in China. Known as "Land of Fish and Rice, House of Silk" and "The Last Sleeping Family in China". The filming location of "Time flies like water" started from October 20141KLOC-0/9, and was designated as the permanent meeting place of world internet conference.
First, we visited Tashi and strolled on the trestle. A strange building comes into view-Wuzhen Grand Theatre, which looks like an "ice flute lotus", as if rising from the water and appearing in this quaint Jiangnan town surrounded by rivers.
The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is graceful.

Stepping into the wedding exhibition hall, all kinds of auditoriums, bridal chambers, new clothes and orderly furnishings are interpreting the ancient Jiangnan wedding customs.
When I visited the three-inch golden lotus pavilion, I felt heavy and couldn't bear to look closely. Three-inch golden lotus originated in the Southern Song Dynasty. Thousands of years later, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom banned foot binding until the Qing Dynasty. Su Shi once wrote the word "Bodhisattva covered in body" and lamented foot binding.
"Don't cherish step by step lotus, worry about wearing socks to Ling Bo; I saw the dance return, and there was no trace to be found. " It can be seen that in ancient times, the feet were beautiful, and the three-inch golden lotus was "enchanting" in the eyes of men, but it was essentially the destruction of women.
Every pointed embroidered shoe (famous bow shoe) on display here seems to tell the history of blood and tears of women being bullied and played in feudal society. From every pair of shoes, it seems that you can hear the tears of girls when they are tied up.
It was a sick society, where men were abnormal and women were deprived of their freedom. Fortunately, this abnormal system has been abolished, otherwise the women who hold up half the sky will be miserable.
The scenery here is really picturesque.
After I escaped, I strolled to Yuelao Temple, a sacred place where men believe in women. Here, single men and women pray for marriage, and lovers pray for eternity. I didn't believe this at first, but I happened to find that the trees around the temple were all double-branched. Maybe this is why so many people pray for blessings, or maybe it is because they believe in gods.
When we came to Zhaoming Academy, we stopped for a long time, and our thoughts drifted back to Nanliang:
Xiao Tong, a nearly perfect figure, is smart, kind, fair and virtuous. He is tall and handsome; He was eager to learn and make progress, insisted on writing, and achieved the highest literary achievement in Nanliang at that time. Selected Works of Zhaoming presided over by him is the earliest extant collection of poems and essays in China.
He was filial by nature and his biological mother died. He was heartbroken and took away most of his life. His love for Hui Niang, a tea girl, is really pure. A song "Sauvignon Blanc" says, "Acacia has no end, and the night sighs. Seeing a beautiful appearance, I would rather be intimate and have memories.
The heart has no reason, and it is willing to fly.
In a trance, the inscription "Legacy of the Six Dynasties" on the stone tablet at the entrance of the main entrance was impressive, which aroused my meditation. Walking with peers, I saw the Qingfeng Pavilion on the west side of the Academy, with a quiet environment and towering ancient trees, which is most suitable for reading, drinking tea and chatting. If it is a moonlit night, I will sit on the open-air hydrophilic platform, holding a scroll of poems, a cup of fragrant tea and a melody, and revel in it.

In the afternoon, I came to Dongzha, where antique houses were scattered along the river bank, with antique blue tiles and white walls, and lively shops and inns were set up along the street.
It presents the original water town style and profound cultural heritage. The historical sites here range from Shadow Play Theater to Sanjiu Brewery, from Wenchang Pavilion to Xiuzhen Temple, as well as the famous former residence of Mao Dun and Hongyuantai Dyeing House, each of which bears the long history and culture of Wuzhen.

Wuzhen, as warm as jade, as tender as water, is densely covered with scenic spots, which makes people dizzying and lingering. I am not a sentimental person, but I am inspired by this strange water town. I am also "we are all sublime to distant thoughts".
It contains too thick culture and records too long history.
Full of simple folk customs
And all this is carried by Wuzhen, as beautiful and exquisite as the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. How can it be?
How can you afford it? If you come to Wuzhen, how can you imagine that this exquisite ancient town has such a profound cultural connotation?
The imaginary Wuzhen should be like Venice on the water, with criss-crossing rivers, arch bridges, bamboo bridges, wooden bridges and stone pier bridges connecting the other side, with water traffic extending in all directions and Huizhou architecture suspended in the water.
Wu Peng's boat shuttled back and forth, the lotus picking girl washed clothes by the river, and the water stage was noisy and looked ugly.
In my imagination, Wuzhen should be Dai Wangshu's rainy lane. It's misty and rainy, and it's dusk on Qingshiban Street. The girl with an oil-paper umbrella is walking in a long and lonely rain lane.
After reading it, I know that all descriptions are hard to exhaust the beauty of Wuzhen, and all languages are pale and powerless. Spend a lifetime reading and pondering the beauty that nature has given Wuzhen.
At dusk, we sat on the Wupeng boat and drifted along the river, admiring the street fairs, beautiful shops, semi-suspended small buildings with red flowers and green vines hanging on the doors and windows, listening to the shallow singing of the boatswain, but also having the wonderful scene of Zhu Ziqing Qinhuai River in the paddle and lights. I couldn't help writing a poem:
The famous town in the south of the Yangtze River is well-deserved, and Wu Peng enjoys the wonders on the boat.
Small bridges draw beams and houses, misty rain teahouses are not envious of immortals.
Wuzhen, I have always imagined that your face should be an elegant ink painting, a girl with elegant manners in the south of the Yangtze River, a plaintive pipa, beautiful, smart, graceful, elegant and profound, and displayed to the world with natural scenery.
I didn't know you were beautiful and considerate until I saw your face this time. Classical beauty is full of modern style, gentle and unrestrained, graceful, smart but not impetuous. Wuzhen, the first of the four famous towns in ancient China, really deserves its reputation! Love you Wuzhen! If possible, I would like to be an aquatic plant in the gentle waves of the river!
