"There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." Suzhou Bridge is famous for its charming scenery, and the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is like a charming and fresh picture.

In a corner of Suzhou, there is a national sanitary and civilized city-Zhangjiagang, which is a young and ancient city.

From 65438 to 0963, more than 20 towns were divided from Changshu and Jiangyin to form Shazhou County. 1986, Shazhou County was withdrawn from the county to establish a city. Because there is a Zhangjiagang in China, it is called Zhangjiagang City.

In the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiagang, there are many ancient villages in the south of the Yangtze River. There is an ancient village in Miaoqiao Street, Tangqiao Town. The temples in the village are magnificent and elegant, and the old streets in Ming and Qing Dynasties are full of ancient charm.

The most eye-catching thing in the village is a small villa with white walls and tiles, which stands neatly among the vast fields in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is the history of Jincun, 1500 years. It has successively won the honorary titles of the most beautiful village in Jiangsu Province, the three-star Kangju Village in Jiangsu Province and the beautiful countryside Demonstration Site in Suzhou.

In early autumn, the sky is crisp and the blue sky is spotless. Qiu Yan and her friends drove to Jincun, which is very close to Changshu, only about half an hour's drive.

There is an old street in Jincun in Ming and Qing Dynasties, with ancient buildings row upon row and antique. There is an endless stream of vehicles and pedestrians, and there is a smell of fireworks in the simplicity and tranquility.

The street under aerial photography is straight and spacious, and the houses on both sides are row upon row, strewn at random and full of ancient charm.

Jincun town is surrounded by water and people are resting on the river. It also preserved a number of old buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, and well-organized small streets and alleys were clearly visible.

Strolling through Jincun, you can see lush vegetation, blooming crape myrtle and clean roads. The Jiangnan dwellings with white walls and tiles have been painted anew.

The clear river in the village is like a long blue ribbon, clear, calm and soft. The wind and rain gallery by the river has white wall tiles, and there is a group of villas with exhaust faction behind the gallery, and the new pastoral style suddenly comes into view.

The companions strolled on the flat bridge deck, and the road was clean and tidy, without any mess. The fresh and cool autumn wind and the quaint and beautiful street view give people a comfortable feeling.

On the side of the lotus pond, the green lotus leaves are squeezed, and the pink lotus flowers are dotted among the green leaves, "out of the mud but not stained", and the lotus flowers are fresh and elegant. The house reflected in the pool is like an elegant watercolor painting.

Jincun is also ranked as dock village. According to historical records, people have lived here since the Jin Dynasty. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Jin family moved the capital to avoid chaos, and then the family business flourished, with many shops and gradually became a market. There are more than 100 households with the surname of Jin, which was called Jincun only during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

This ancient village with a thousand years of cultural history has left a profound ancient rhyme. Small bridges flowing water, pillow river, elm trees towering on both sides.

The towering Horsehead Wall, full of ancient meaning, is particularly eye-catching, showing the unique charm of the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jincun is an ancient cultural village. There are many ancestral halls around Lisan village in Fiona Fang, including six ancestral halls built in the Qing Dynasty. Ancestral temple culture plays an important role in promoting good deeds, helping the poor, being good neighbors and educating folk customs.

Deep ancient incense, long and quiet, endless. The old stone streets are still well preserved. The sun shines on the slate, which is full of ancient fragrance.

On the roadside, under the shade of trees, pieces of wooden signs introducing celebrities in our village are erected.

Jincun people inherit their family by farming and reading, and advocate poetry and calligraphy. "More than 20 wells are flowing, and more than 100 families can study" is a true portrayal of Jincun's simple folk customs.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been many scholars, juren and students in the village. Celebrities such as Weng Tonghe, a master of the two dynasties, Zhao Shinong, a seal engraver, Zhou Wenzhai, a major general of the Republic of China, and Master Zong Cheng, a famous abbot of Nanjing Jiming Temple, all left traces of life in Jincun.

Jincun has a profound cultural background and a large number of talented people. Pieces of wooden signs tell a touching story.

There is a unique two-story building on the ancient street, which is the former site of the Jincun Party branch. The ground floor set up "Jin Changmao's Rice Tour". At that time, the Jincun Party branch took this as a cover, which was the place where party member actively carried out revolutionary activities.

Walking into Mihang, I saw bamboo baskets hanging high, the old panes were antique, and there were all kinds of food in the middle rice cabinet.

Various types of farm tools are placed in the back room, and precious historical pictures are posted on the wall. We watched carefully and our hearts were full of enthusiasm. "Do not forget your initiative mind, remember the mission." To realize the historical mission of the Party in the new era, we need to make unremitting efforts!

Qiu Yan came to Mihang's kitchen and saw the food on the table of the Eight Immortals, which was very lifelike. Looking at these old stoves and furniture, I imagined the life of revolutionary soldiers in those days, and my thoughts flew.

Mihang also has a spacious and quiet courtyard with a mottled ancient well in the middle, surrounded by green trees and winding corridors, which looks quiet and elegant.

Out of Mihang, rows of old houses retain the appearance of the sixties and seventies of last century, and bright red slogans and portraits of workers, peasants and soldiers are conspicuously written on the snow-white walls, which has become an eternal memory of a generation. Older people are looking for lost youth here.

There is a Little Square next door to Mihang, and a huge party flag hangs on the wall, which is dazzling and awe-inspiring.

On 20 12, Jincun was listed as a demonstration village for the transformation of old villages in Jiangsu Province. In order to protect the history, integrity and inheritance of ancient villages, Jincun was built into a traditional relocation community in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the south of the Yangtze River.

A beautiful new villa, neatly built. In front of and behind the house, the trees are lush. The villa with white walls and black tiles among trees is elegant and exquisite, and the white stucco wall combined with scarlet roof tiles is elegant and beautiful. The rich rural landscape in Jiangnan can be seen.

White wall tiles, translucent flower windows, ancient wall doors, garden gardens and villas in Jincunyuan are filled with quaint and elegant atmosphere. Elegant environment makes people's eyes clear. During the stroll, the beautiful scenery is refreshing. These villas constitute a beautiful scenery in Jincun.
