Township Town Guide (3) - Nanxun
2003/9/7 Sunday Nanxun is located in Huzhou in northern Zhejiang Province, located in the northern Wuzhen, Wuzhen more than 50 kilometers away. From Wuzhen to Nanxun no direct train, but as long as standing on the road before the bus station waiting Wuzhen, about 40 ~ 60 minutes there is a group from the CMB Puyuan bound Nanxun passing, waving or stopping. Of course, the first car from Wuzhen to Taoyuan (located between the town of Wuzhen South Au), where you can wait for more road in the past Nanxun car. (But there are 3 yuan per person to spend the money.)
One hour away, less than 10 am, cars have been rolled into the Nanxun. Eyes bright, the streets are wide and clean, street style more modern style architecture, bright clean, with new material, Township covers an area of range than Xitang, Wuzhen large, modern facilities and more. Tai'an Road and get off at the bus stop, Public Information Nanxun back from the rear to know the car is located in Suzhou, 318 National Road Town, another coach station. (Back to Shanghai, too) about 30 minutes, all air-conditioned vehicle, 17:50 pm on the last one back to Suzhou.
Riding tricycles, we first went to the southern scenic areas. Listen to online friends suggested that we abandon the Xiaolian Zhuang, Jia Ye Tang Collection buildings, went straight to ZHANG Shi Ming house.
From the entrance plane schematic view, the current open part of the house only half of the entire Zhaizi more. Visit the north side of the door sedan from the Chamber. Here is the idle time chair places, looking back looked, a surge of rich cultural atmosphere suddenly rushing toward us. Door head surrounded by a group of both engraved, relief of classical figures, chariots, scenery, etc. hung under the eaves of the stone carvings, fine lines, life-like. Look inside that hall, is for handling the funeral and other festive activities used in the ceremony. On the left is the master of traditional Chinese-style study, a small high-fan-decorated wooden doors, 22 is relatively open, the sun floating down from the trees in the courtyard between the sparse way, the slowly moving. Third admission into the hospital so-called "female Hall", is the women of human activities, both sides of a small courtyard, one side white walls on three sides Kihana floor window enclosure, wells containing bamboo, Zhu Ying Ying on the wall, like a Chinese traditional freehand ink painting, carving through the pane, poetry emerged, Yiyun graceful, as if the ink is also Sanzhao faint incense.
Went to the fourth, fifth Jinyuan La is already a European wind blowing hard. The glass windows imported from France, the balcony railing is a Baroque-style fancy cast iron, shutters and windows at the top of the Western-style arch echo the red-brick masonry. Luxury elegant ballroom, hung with crystal lamps, ceiling light is a concise large grid pattern. There are fireplaces in front of the hall, as if the flames of the furnace is still burning snapping. The floor tiles imported from France, carefully collage pattern, though already faded old bright colors, and even individual was also some broken, you can still feel a hundred years ago, bright and dazzling. Hall is a garden, planted two points on both sides of Magnolia grandiflora, though weathered by the centuries, still flourish Changxin evergreen. Garden surrounded by red brick walls and brick masonry mosaic. 2 Roman Corinthian-style column, the proportion of accurate modeling gorgeous flowers, leaves curl a few pieces made of stigma wrapped prop up upstairs semi-circular platform in front of.
All this, as the show host that pass both Chinese and Western business experience and extraordinary art of elegant taste. Be able to integrate into Western art, so in harmony of Chinese culture, it not worthy of our modern thinking and learning?
From the former residence of Zhang Shi Ming out, we have stood on the town's old neighborhoods. The water into the river, near the water into the street, because of water into the city. Nanxun Perhaps because the history was a silk city, trade and transport a large quantity of frequent, river, and both sides of the Road and Xitang, Wuzhen has a significant difference. Xitang and Wuzhen's Water Alley and Street, roaming among the scenery is usually one side is the road side is a room, lane is only two or three meters, but narrow at one meter, a long narrow small secluded. The Nanxun of this slightly wider main channel and offshore on both sides of both roads, narrow office is also 34 meters wide, at up to 78 meters, broad vision. Street Lang Peng, some Linhe, some middle and some have attached a small pavilion, there are stone bench for people to rest. Revetment long, overhanging willows reluctant to part from time to time the shuttle and off bicycles, scooters, in order to add a touch of modern life town atmosphere.
With the nature of the coastal stroll, a shop, residential balcony before your eyes. "Sang Kee meters of", "Baoxing Flower Line," "Qiu Ji-sedan line", silk line, Cigarette Paper shops, carpentry shops, tea-line, etc., are old-fashioned furnishings, shop entrance and flags hanging from a substantial , flag reads its name, well looked, colorful, fluttering in the wind, indeed, of modern billboards, posters of the former. Of course, these stores are not in the show, but a real way to do trading. Rice store the various meters in the Otake Luokuang Li stacked high to the tip on the card and plug the red, indicating the purity and variety. Sitting in baskets behind the shops at leisure to fiddle with the abacus.
Attracted our attention is the one to fight Tiepu. Dimly lit room, his face deeply wrinkled old man was engraved, in the fire side of the beat a while ping ping pong pong, action, skill and fluent, the red hot iron in his hands gradually become farm equipment can be used. This scenario previously only seen in films and television shows! Not far away, a silk shop, the counter filled with colored silk, colorful eye-catching. A middle-aged woman sitting in the shop, unhurried rust workers doing manual labor. Qingtiao slow twist, rack pattern bit by bit to complete, clear, fresh up, and that a Danding and calm that I had such a hurry while the spectators are difficult to have! .
Perhaps it is because the hot weather, or because of lack of propaganda, the scenic spot for visitors less than Xitang, less than Wuzhen. At noon we casually eat and rest, to continue our trip to rivers and lakes.
Located in the northern Zhang Shi Ming Zhang Jingjiang house and its cousin the "Jiangnan first mansions" to be less than more. First of all an area of small-scale and the momentum is not. There is no "Garden Shenshen Shen dash of" the wall of the compound, but noticeable in the flat plain, not actually a level of life experience of the exhibition hall. Zhang Jingjiang life story of a variety of photos, Shuzha the letter of appointment and other cultural artifacts, and the Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching Ling, He Xiangning, Yu Yu-jen, Chen Pu-lei, Chiang Kai-shek and other famous people such as Letters of them on display. The dragging of disabled members of the old League of lower limbs, to the revolutionary wind the rain ran about busily, donations serve, the idea is admirable!
Zhang Jingjiang former residence of the west, is the famous 100 House residence. It is said to rites Dong Ming servants were slaves to their homes built. Along the river between the two sides more than 100 houses built near the water, along the winding river, meandering meandering. Front of the canopy, there are circular openings, and even as a pedestrian can suffer from sun and wind and rain. The House Road, between the bank up a fire build a gable, twists and turns, heavy upon layer to form a rich rhythmic sense of rhythm. Every household has a stone steps leading to the river outside. At present, many still living in these houses, some residents, some open door of the room, looked lean, room not large, poor lighting, furniture and more obsolete, but clean up and clean, and occasionally catch a glimpse of one or two hanging in the air conditioner outdoor unit housing under Lang Yan. Go along the branch with a table, town sent in black and white world of their leisure; Langxia sit the old people, an air of calm rather than sensual way, look to ship to, to know time flows. Indifferent to the quiet life characterized by the late Ming and early Qing architecture Yiyun, long generous cultural heritage, leisurely life skills materials outside the state of mind, together constitute a full flavor of the Yangtze River Delta picture.
Fly in the ointment is the 100 floor of the external built in modern style houses, is about to see the form of the seventies, and simple shapes, dark walls, in order to avoid them, really let us shoot 100 F sightseeing Pofeizhouzhe and brains.
Farewell Nanxun, we have Road back stoop. After one hour 15 minutes drive 5:00 p.m. South Station had returned to Suzhou. Dinner in the view of Front Street's "Tak Yuet Lau," severely corrupt about it, after dinner went to the railway station, only to drive the 5070 meeting 20:30 buy tickets (Shanghai → Wuxi). When they finally took the car, do have the air-conditioning, double-decker cars, pigeon-holing is not allowed to point of departure. Until nearly 21 o'clock before opening, not out of Suzhou City, but also the temporary parking, dawdle to Wuxi is 21:40 really climbing trip!
Three ancient town tour, the sense of each has its advantages. Xitang like a well-preserved fine antiques, genuine, people enjoying the taste,'s deep feelings for times past; Wuzhen carefully restored as a counterfeit, a little deliberately a little hypocritical, suitable for the camera in search of America; while Nanxun, ancient traditions Culture is protecting inherited the same time, constantly absorbing new elements, glow with vitality. In short, Xitang - have always focussed on, Wuzhen - seductive, Nanxun - with sex.
