Suzhou Jiangnan Luzhi is one of six town, my relationship because of their work, where lived more than a year, respectively, six months later, finally had a chance to re-visit Luzhi, is really very happy.
December 7 in the morning, transfer to the train station to the town because the Eastern Ring Road and Airport Road are in construction, all the way is full of excavators and large trucks in the busy construction. After one hour, cars come to town the new district, the train will be a friend and go get a snack street used by lunch, then began our Luzhi trip.
1. Temple town west of St. Paul is "Puli Town," the big arch, and now arch of the north have been completed a two-tier department stores, on the first floor there is a Beijing Hualian Supermarket, shopping very convenient. After a St. Paul, after a fragrant flower Luduan sculpture to the bridge, on the bridge on the north to the St. Paul Temple, Paul Temple is not Saint, but a minor celebrity: because there are plastic home Yang of the Tang Dynasty works for the national key cultural relics protection unit.
St. Paul Temple scenic area is divided into three parts, first east of St. Paul Temple, a Heavenly King Hall, and the Antiquities Museum in two parts; Paul Holy Mosques, the west is divided into two courtyards, the south Ye Shengtao Memorial, the north is a large courtyard, Ye Shengtao inside the tomb, and Lu Guimeng tomb, the most unusual is that there are three trees inside the ancient ginkgo tree.
We have insurance through the Holy Mosques, king temple, the temple of an ancient bronze mirrors show, I have not interest in looking at. Into the antiquities museum's door, face to see the wall painted sculpture. It is to be listed as key national heritage conservation units, such as protection of the Holy Mosques, Rohan; nine residues were mixed in a pile of painted sculpture is now similar to the color of mud inside, along with the Antiquities Museum has very poor light, so not clear Their facial expressions, of course, no way to appreciate the wonderful work of art of the office, and opening their eyes afford to study for a long time, but finally unhappy to back out (can not read).
Out of the Antiquities Museum to the west, then south on to the folding Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall. Memorial Hall in the north, the photographs is very detailed record of the Ye Lao's life story, but also part of the collection of relics Yelao. Hospital room surrounded by the middle there is an old Ye Shengtao mortal remains of the mask is the use of gypsum to do.
Back to the Memorial north of compound, we first went to Ye Shengtao visited the tomb, came Sang Sang Farm, then north, suddenly saw Lu Guimeng tomb, a circular mound, legends luk love ducks, was here to support a lot of lovely ducks, so future generations specially in his grave to dig a fighting duck pond, but also looked for two things, like the manger, said Mr Luk was feeding ducks manger. The old lady dressed in the yard, several local characteristics of the clothing, singing, dancing, singing, of course it is a very good hearing - Wu-ning soft words Well.
二. Shen Bao-san Temple house out of the bridge to go back to fragrant flowers, smell the enticing aroma of Tibang, we went to Shen house, which is located east of Temple, St. Paul, is the former residence of Shen Bonian cold, Shen is a big Luzhi was as much "Shen half of the town", which shows that their prosperity. But imagine their houses down is not so much.
Shen house features: Pingtan, rivers and lakes clothing, backyard loft. Of course, this is my feelings.
Just where the door has a small hall, which placed a few chairs in front of a small stage for performances every day in the above Suzhou Pingtan, if want to listen to a little authentic Suzhou Pingtan, you can come here and feel it.
Opinions on west to the Township hall costumes, which is the eastern area, Suzhou has still the characteristics of clothing, colorful, and I can not say it on its merits, if you are interested, can come to a good look, because this show a lot of kinds of different styles of dress.
Backyard ordinary mansion, but the second floor of the room I am very interested in a closed corridor, a few houses side by side, they are not doors, giving people the feeling like a cell.
三. Shen Xiao house out of home, go east along the streets, to the north off the bridge into the profit is the town of Lang Peng, Xiao house on this street.
Hsiao house to commemorate the artist Josephine Siao and repair, is Fang Fang's father and grandfather lived in a place, but Fang Fang was born in Shanghai, grew up in Hong Kong, fame; and here the relationship is - the descendants of Luzhi brief says. There are many Fangfang performances stills, some life in the old photos, but the kind to be found. (Josephine Who was this guy? - If you have read, "Fong Sai Yuk", I believe that his aging mother, he will give you leave a deep impression.) Shaw house has a big advantage is that, without tickets could have gone in, its exports In the most west, from the second floor of the hall down the stairs Josephine shadow on to the Shaw house, the town where the streets have a long dark winter get old, if you enter from the alley Eighty per cent of all had been left unattended in .
四. Wang Tao and Shen memorial home, like the Shaw house, this attraction is also the former residence of office. Wang Tao House and the river from the relative Shaw house, sitting east west. With regard to Wang Tao, I do not know much, only knew that he was during the 1911 Revolution who visited several Western European countries, for foreigners translated many Chinese books.
Wang Tao, a small house, but compared to other house there are two unique elements: In his house the last, and even has a back garden, though small, but it all themselves. The garden has a pond, which has a few small goldfish swimming freely.
五. Wansheng meters of stone along the road in front of Wang Tao's former residence, has been walked south through the bridge into the profit went to the Wansheng meters of the near, because "over-collected 35 fighting," only this name - prior to what is called do not know of.
Wansheng meters of the West is facing, and it's very common Hebu head, meters of the entrance of the river is very narrow and did not seem to "cross-seven of the eight stops Kennedy delivered the countryside filled with rice boat." Some people are naturally disappointed. Or go and see art.
Entered the door, left-hand side there is an L-shaped counter, decent, ultra-arrayed in several grains, are still above the marked price. There is no counter where the old gentleman who had accounts, and only those of us not wearing a hat-breaking vision of the visitors looked to use for adventures, everything here, trying to find the kind of past years of hardship, the result is often futile. Reassuring that the Youshou the eyes of those people selling tickets, you could let us understand what the mentality of those landowners are pampered.
Wansheng larger meters of only one room, which some of the old tools, such as grinding. Most could not utter it's name, even if there are logo are unrecognizable, because very characters, most commonly known as the locals. The south wall of the courtyard there is "over-collected by 35 Struggle" in its entirety.
There is a small door leading to the south of the courtyard, where there are special tools exhibition should look is new, in the courtyard there is a foot waterwheel, has been hard for visitors to a broken foot, and no one to repair .
From the Wansheng meters of out of our town trip was successfully completed.
