Suzhou Lu Zhi, Prose of the First Town of China Water Town

I first met Linzhi, Suzhou, because of this word "Linzhi". It knows me, but I don't know it. I didn't know how to read Lu until I looked it up in the dictionary, so I finally made a trip this summer and came to Zeguo, a water town known as the first water town in China.

This ancient town of the same age as Suzhou has a history of more than 2,500 years. Surrounded by Yangcheng Lake, Wanqian Lake, Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake, it is a veritable water town and country. Here, you can not only appreciate the typical layout of the south of the Yangtze River, but also have rich cultural and historical resources.

Entering the town from the main entrance, the first must-see attraction is Baosheng Temple, which was built in Liang Dynasty. Originally named Baosheng Temple, this temple has experienced ups and downs since the Liang Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was very grand, with more than 200 buildings. It, Guangfu Temple, Dinghui Temple and Zhuang Jie Temple are also called the four major temples in the south of the Yangtze River. The gate of Baosheng Temple that we see now was rebuilt according to the original appearance of Qianlong period, while Tianwang Temple was rebuilt according to the original appearance of Ming Dynasty.

There are nine clay arhats carved by Yang Huizhi in Tang Dynasty in the Antiquities Museum of Baosheng Temple. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, they are still well preserved. Because it is a precious cultural relic, you can't take pictures, you can only feast your eyes on tourists. There is a century-old Lycium barbarum leaning on the stream stone outside the door, which attracts a large number of tourists to take pictures here as a souvenir.

The ruins of An Baili Temple are full of scars. This ancient temple, which was also built in the Liang Dynasty, has only the foundations of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and can be seen in the past. To the west of the temple is Lu Guimeng's cemetery. Today, there are still Duckfighting Pond, Qingfeng Pavilion and Hongqiao. Feeding vinegar to ducks is an original creation of the Tang Dynasty. Lu Guimeng's family background is prominent, and his poems are all unique, but he is incompetent. After living in seclusion in the countryside, he became an agronomist praised by later generations. This is also the loss of the eastern corner and the harvest of mulberry trees.

The three ancient ginkgo trees in the cemetery are said to have a history of 1500 years, which was planted by Lu Guimeng that year. At that time, only the ruins of the building remained. Only these three ancient trees are smiling calmly at the wind and cloud. No matter how history changes, they still stand.

Ye Shengtao's tomb in the southwest of Baosheng Temple is much more magnificent. Next to it is Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall, rebuilt in 2000. Mr. Ye Shengtao once taught here.

When you mention Ye Shengtao, you can think of the famous novel "Overriding Three to Five Fighting" in the textbook, and the prototype of the rice shop mentioned-Wansheng Hengmi Store is now built in Wansheng Rice Store, located in the ancient town, recreating the style of the rice market in the south of the Yangtze River during the Republic of China.

Shenzhai was built in Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty for nine years, which should be regarded as the most luxurious mansion in the ancient town. This is the former residence of Shen Bohan, a member of the League. The layout of the house was the common pattern of front store and back house at that time, with five entrances.

Another mansion in Luzhi is Xiaofu, which was built in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. There is an alley on one side of the house, which is about one hundred and fifty meters long. It is the best existing residential building in Luzhi ancient town in Qing Dynasty. This house was originally built by a Wu surnamed Yang in the town, but it was later sold to a famous family in the village, so it was called a small house. Now he is a famous movie star, Xiao Fangfang Film and Television Art Museum, exhibiting Xiao Fangfang's artistic life.

Jiangnan Cultural Park, located in the north of the ancient town, opened on 20 10, relying on the resources of Luzhi ancient town, Wu culture and the charm of Jiangnan water town. Although it is a new landscape, it is almost difficult to find the taste of the ancient town, but the scenery is still very good. The waves on the lake are flat, the antique buildings on the lake are elegant, and the cruise ship is more exquisite than that in the ancient town, which shows that it is newly built. Because the cultural park is very big and not as crowded as the ancient town, tourists can visit it leisurely. The clothing and furniture museum is here, but Zhang Provincial Museum is not included in the joint ticket, so you need to buy another ticket.

Luzhi Museum of Historical Relics is also located in the Cultural Park, where we can see the historical changes of Luzhi. Ancestors lived together about 6,000 years ago, and there are primitive village models in the museum to show the scenes of ancestors' production and life. Wells in different periods, Liangzhu culture, cultural relics of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are also worth seeing.

The last stop we visited was Wang Tao Memorial Hall. We visited it when we came back, but nobody paid attention to it when we came in. This house was built in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty. Originally the former residence of Shen Zaixian, it was later turned into a memorial hall for modern thinker Wang Tao.

Luzhi is known as the "Bridge Capital". Within a small square kilometer, more than 70 bridges were built in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the existing bridges are 4 1 bridge. Walking across the bridge, the style of the ancient town in Jiangnan is coming. Maybe we picked an auspicious day, the weather is sunny and there are many tourists, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment, but it can also explain the straightforward popularity!
