Which of the ancient towns in Jiangnan impressed you the most?
The best thing about Jiangnan Water Town is the beautiful scenery. If you compare Jiangnan with other places, you will find that it is more like the woman in the painting, quiet and indifferent, always giving people a mysterious feeling. For the Jiangnan area, the most tourist attractions are ancient towns. Although there are many ancient towns, each ancient town has its own characteristics, which will not make people feel boring and monotonous. Instead, it will make people come to a different ancient town every time. , there will be a shock that is different from the last time. This may be the unique charm of the ancient town. The ancient town we introduce today is not famous, but it is not simple. It is Qiantong Ancient Town, known as "Lijiang in East Zhejiang".
What is different from other ancient towns is that it has a very profound cultural heritage. It is the ancient town with the most Confucian culture in Zhejiang. Because I have been nourished by Confucian culture, I will give people a very refined feeling. When you step into this place, you will feel a bookish atmosphere. People do not make loud noises when walking on the street. They even walk very slowly for fear of destroying the tranquility.
Qiantong Ancient Town has a history of many years. It existed in the late Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, Tong Huang discovered this Feng Shui treasure land while traveling, so he chose to settle here. At the same time, because he prefers a quiet life, he rarely participates in outside affairs after settling in this place. Precisely because our ancestors have such precedents and set the tone of this place, the people living here have always had an indifferent character and lived a life that does not conform to the world.
Although Qiantong Ancient Town is not as famous as the six famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River, it retains many characteristics in this place. Because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it will present a "every family has its own characteristics" "carved beams, every household has running water" scene, and because it has always remained aloof from the world, it retains many relatively complete ancient buildings. Therefore, when walking in the Bagua streets with a "Hui" structure, you will sigh. The wisdom of the ancients, stepping on the bricks and tiles here, you will feel as if you are walking with the ancients. Qiantong Ancient Town still retains many long-standing cultural customs, such as the Lantern Festival activities to commemorate Hao Gong, which can be said to have continued from the Ming Dynasty to the present day.
In everyone’s impression, the ancient town should be full of small bridges and flowing water, but there is Lianghuang Mountain in Qiantong Ancient Town, and it was the first mountain recorded in Xu Xiake’s travel notes at that time. There is also a Lianghuang Temple on top of it, and after gradual development, it has become a famous local tourist attraction. It is said that in ancient times, there was a bridge on it, called Guoyuan Bridge, and there are poems to prove it: "The water comes with the earth's veins, and the clouds pass over the mountains." This also proves that the history of Qiantong Ancient Town is really quite long. long.
Although Qiantong Ancient Town is not very famous, its location is very advantageous, so if you want to go there, you can have a variety of transportation methods. Generally, if you want to travel, you need to stay locally. There are many B&Bs in the town, and the prices are relatively reasonable. The ticket is 40 yuan. Qiantong Ancient Town feels quite good to me. It is a good place for tourists who like quietness and want to relax. Do you have any research on the ancient town?
