Question 2: What are the water towns in the south of Yangtze River? In a narrow sense, Jiangnan refers to southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang (Taihu Basin, Suzhou and Hangzhou area)
In a traditional sense, Jiangnan refers to southern Jiangsu, northern Zhejiang, and areas south of the Yangtze River in Shanghai and Anhui.
Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Shanghai, Maanshan, Wuhu and Huangshan are now located on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
question 3: where is the Jiangnan water town, and where is it called? Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been synonymous with Jiangnan water towns since ancient times! There is no specific big direction! They are all in these two provinces, such as Zhouzhuang, Tongli, Jiaozhi and Mudu in Jiangsu. Xitang, Wuzhen, Nanxun and so on in Zhejiang! This place belongs to Jiangnan water town!
question 4: which provinces does the so-called "Jiangnan water town" refer to? The theory that Jiangnan was born in the pre-Qin period. Until the Sui Dynasty, Jiangnan referred to Hunan and Jiangxi. The establishment of Jiangnan Road in the Tang Dynasty was later divided into Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road and Guizhou Middle Road, which became the beginning of defining the meaning of modern Jiangnan.
Jiangnan now refers to Jiangnan in a narrow sense and is generally regarded as the core area of Jiangnan. That is, except Fujian and southern Zhejiang, the east road of Jiangnan is centered on Nanjing to Suzhou, including parts of Anhui, Jiangxi and Zhejiang south of the Yangtze River, namely southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, southern Anhui and northern Jiangxi. Some areas north of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, such as Yangzhou, are similar to Jiangnan in economy and culture, and are also considered to be part of Jiangnan. There are also some areas south of Taihu Lake and even south of Qiantang River, such as Shaoxing and Ningbo, which are not in the Yangtze River basin but are considered Jiangnan.
Jiangnan in a broad sense refers to the whole area south of the Yangtze River in the middle and lower reaches, that is, Jiangnan Road except southern Hunan, southwestern Jiangxi, Guizhou and Fujian. Including the narrow sense of Jiangnan, north of Jiangxi, south of the Yangtze River in Hubei and northern Hunan. Jiangnan in a broad sense was widely used in ancient times, such as Du Fu's on meeting li guinian down the river, which was written in Changsha. Jiangnan in a broad sense is also used in modern times, for example, Jiangnan in the weather forecast refers to Jiangnan in a broad sense; The three famous buildings in Jiangnan are all outside the concept of Jiangnan in a narrow sense.
Emperor Taizong established Jiangnan Road, covering the whole middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as Guizhou and Fujian. Tang Xuanzong subdivided Jiangnan Road into East Jiangnan Road, West Jiangnan Road and Middle Guizhou Road. In the late Tang Dynasty, Jiangdong was called Jiangnan.
in the early Qing dynasty, the southern Zhili was changed to jiangnan province; in the later Qing dynasty, it was divided into Jiangsu province and Anhui province; in the Republic of China, Jiangsu province was divided into Shanghai.
Jiangnan was divided into the east of Jiangnan and the west of Jiangnan in ancient times, namely Jiangdong and Jiangxi. In Tang and Song Dynasties, Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan West Road were set up, covering Jiangxi, Hunan and southern Hubei in the west of Jiangnan, which were originally composed of Jiangnan in a broad sense. Later, with the concept of Jiangnan in a narrow sense, the western road of Jiangnan evolved into Jiangxi Province today; Jiangdong area is centered on Nanjing, mainly including parts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. In the Qing Dynasty, the Governor's Office of the Two Rivers was established, which governed Jiangsu Province (including Shanghai), Anhui Province and Jiangxi Province, and the two rivers included Jiangdong
Question 5: What are the six ancient towns in Jiangnan Water Town? Introduction to the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River
The first label: zhouzhuang town, Kunshan, Jiangsu
When it comes to Zhouzhuang, you can't help but talk about bridges. The bridge in Zhouzhuang is quaint, with different shapes and intriguing: Zhenfeng Bridge is melodious in poetry, and Fuan Bridge is the tower wall, and the most famous one is undoubtedly Shuangqiao. Shuangqiao is located in the center of Zhouzhuang, on the river crossing the river, arranged in a right angle, and the locals call it "Key Bridge". When the famous oil painter Chen Yifei painted this bridge, it was once collected by the American oil magnate, and later the oil magnate gave it to * * * when he visited China. From then on, Zhouzhuang became famous in the world with Shuangqiao.
Zhouzhuang's "well"-shaped river channel constitutes the charm of water town. All the water lanes are full of tourists, and all the rivers are rippling in canoes.
People in Zhouzhuang are built by water, with deep houses with white walls and tiles, and small waterside pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere. Especially in the deep hall and the open hall, the momentum is extraordinary. After a hundred years, the charm remains the same. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River who lives in Zhouzhuang, once funded the Ming Dynasty to build a third of the wall of Nanjing, but in the end he still offended the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and was exiled to Yunnan, where he died. Today, the Shen Hall is still there, and the tragic story of the protagonist in this ancient residence with considerable weight makes people think, adding a heavy atmosphere to the flowing water bridge in Zhouzhuang.
There are many people who have painted Zhouzhuang, and the unique perspective needs you to appreciate and find it slowly.
transportation: Shanghai, Suzhou, Kunshan and Qingpu all have long-distance buses that go directly to Zhouzhuang.
Accommodation: The price of private hotels is generally around 6 yuan/day, which can be bargained, and the price sometimes rises to more than 1 yuan in peak season. If you have enough money, you can choose to live in Zhengutang, a typical home-style inn in Jiangnan water town. It was originally the former residence of the educator Mr. Shen Tilan, and it is a courtyard-style building with Ming and Qing styles. The price is 28 yuan/day.
Second label: Tongli Ancient Town, Wujiang, Jiangsu
There are many houses in Tongli Ancient Town, which give people a sense of space, although they are not all built along the river like Zhouzhuang. The river here is more open and paved with bluestone slabs.
The most famous ones in Tongli are "one garden, two halls and three bridges", all of which are antique shapes. The first garden is a famous garden in the south of the Yangtze River. This garden is exquisitely arranged in a small area, which makes the small garden give people an ever-changing feeling. The two halls refer to Chongben Hall and Jiayin Hall. The Third Bridge refers to Taiping Bridge, Geely Bridge and Changqing Bridge.
The houses and gardens in Tongli are very beautiful, but my favorite in Tongli is the bridge.
Tongli is surrounded by five lakes, with winding streets and rivers, thus leaving many ancient bridges built in various ages. In the ancient town, the oldest bridge is Siben Bridge. It was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, more than 7 years ago. Although it has been hit by wind and rain, it still stands still, spanning the beautiful river port. The name of the bridge "thinking about this" means "the country is based on the people, and the people take food as the sky".
In Tongli, the smallest bridge should be the one-step bridge located on the lotus pond in Huancui Mountain Villa. The total length of this bridge deck is less than five feet, but it is only three feet wide. When they meet, they need to pass sideways. The single-hole arch is small and exquisite, which is a must. And the bridge that best reflects the studious people in Tongli is Pu 'an Bridge, also known as Xiaodongxi Bridge. It was first built in the first year of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty (156). On the stone wall on the west side of it, there is a very striking couplet. The first couplet is "A Moonlight with a Gauge Shadow" and the second couplet is "The Song of the Cross-Strait Book Sound". The most mythical ancient bridge is Fuguan Bridge. On the Longmen stone of this bridge, there is a vivid stone carving of "Peach Blossom and Fish in Langli".
wujinqiao is located in the northwest suburb of the town, which is the only way from Suzhou to Tongli in those days and an important entrance to the ancient town. That year, the people of the ancient town built this bridge overnight to welcome the Taiping Army. On the square stone in the center of the bridge deck, a picture of "reporting good news immediately" was specially carved to wish the Taiping Army a successful flag.
Of course, the most famous ancient town is the "Three Bridges" mentioned above. The Three Bridges are located in the center of the town and stand at the intersection of three small rivers in a three-legged manner. The clear water reflects the ancient bridge and the trees hide beautiful shadows, which is a charming scenery. "Walking on the Three Bridges" is an ancient folk custom in Tongli.
In addition to various ancient bridges with different shapes, Tongli attracts tourists, and there are also various river bridges that open the eyes of people who come to the ancient town. The so-called river bridge, the northerners call it the water pier, and the southerners call it the river pier and the bridge head. Tongli is a water town, with a total length of more than 5 kilometers in the township. It is a typical water town where every family faces the water and every household has a boat.
transportation: there are direct buses in Shanghai, Suzhou and Wuxian. There are also cruise ships between Tongli and Zhouzhuang.
Accommodation: There are many small hotels in Tongli where you can spend your leisure time, but if you want to choose a regular hotel, here are the same hotels ... > >
question 6: where does Jiangnan mean? It is said that Jiangnan is a water town, so where is Jiangnan? There is no specific place for the real water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The scope is: Suzhou, Jiangsu, Jiaxing, Hangzhou and Shaoxing, Zhejiang, which are next to Suzhou. There are many rivers in the city. There are six famous water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, including Zhouzhuang Town, Tongli Town, the ancient town of xitang, Wuzhen, F Zhi and Nanxun. You might as well take a trip!
Zhouzhuang Town is located 38km southeast of Suzhou City. Wu Guanzhong, a famous ancient painter, wrote that "Huangshan Mountain gathers the beauty of mountains and rivers in China, and Zhouzhuang gathers the beauty of water towns in China", while overseas newspapers call Zhouzhuang the first water town in China. Zhouzhuang has a history of nearly 9 years and is rich in cultural connotations. Hans Zhang, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, Liu Yuxi and Lu Guimeng, poets in the Tang Dynasty, once lived in Zhouzhuang. Zhouzhuang is also the hometown of Shen Wansan, a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Zhouzhuang also left the footprints of Liu Yazi, Chen Qubing and others.
Tongli Town is located in the east of the ancient canal on the bank of Taihu Lake, 18km away from Suzhou and 8km away from Shanghai.

Xitang, an ancient town, is located in Jiashan County, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, 11 kilometers away from Jiashan County. After getting off at Jiashan by train, take CMB to 3.5 yuan in Xitang. Xitang is an ancient town with a history of thousands of years. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was the intersection of wuyue and China, so it was called "Wugen crossing the corner" and "crossing the corner". By the yuan dynasty, a market was initially formed. The biggest difference between Xitang and other ancient water towns is that there are corridors in the streets near the river in the ancient town, with a total length of nearly 1 meters, just like the promenade of the Summer Palace. Traveling in Xitang, you don't get wet in rainy days, and the sun doesn't shine in sunny days.
Wuzhen, located in Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, is one of the famous ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. In history, this town has produced 64 scholars and 161 juren.

Lizhi Academy in the town east is Mao Dun's youth reading place, and Xizha Old Street in the town is the main tourist attraction.
Nanxun is located in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, in the hinterland of Hangjiahu Plain. It is a famous historical and cultural town in Zhejiang Province, with Taihu Lake in the north and Jiangsu Province in the east, only 51 kilometers away from Suzhou City. Take bus 12 yuan and pass through Tongli, a famous water town on the way. According to the Records of Gardens in the South of the Yangtze River, "there are five gardens in one town, and all of them are huge structures, which are really only seen in the south of the Yangtze River". In the Qing Dynasty, Nanxun people were called "4 elephants, 8 cows and 72 golden dogs" according to the wealth of local people, and the richest one was called elephant. There are many scenic spots and historical sites in Nanxun, which are in harmony with the natural scenery. It is full of rich historical and cultural heritage and aura, and it is also full of poetic charm of the ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Nanxun has enjoyed a prosperous culture since ancient times, with numerous talents and numerous books. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a proverb that "three pavilions in nine miles are old, and two ministers in ten miles". In the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties alone, Nanxun produced 41 scholars.
f zhi town is located in wuxian city, Jiangsu province. As a leader of ancient water towns in China, F Zhi Town really lives up to its reputation, and it has a civilization history of 2,5 years. Especially her ancient culture, historical sites, ancient bridges, ancient streets, ancient houses and ancient ginkgo trees with a history of more than 13 years are amazing. When people witness the ancient streets, houses and deep alleys of the town, they have a taste of another flavor of the ancient town of F Zhi.
