1. Some knowledge about Jiangnan towns. Jiangnan in a broad sense refers to the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River south of the Yangtze River, that is, Jiangnan Road excluding southern Hunan, southern Jiangxi, Guizhou and Fujian.

Including the narrow sense of Jiangnan, north of Jiangxi, south of the Yangtze River in Hubei and northern Hunan.

But some areas in Fujian are sometimes called Jiangnan.

The broad sense of Jiangnan was often used in ancient times, such as Du Fu's "Jiangnan Meets the Year of Li Gui", which was written in Changsha City.

Jiangnan in a broad sense is also used in modern times. For example, Jiangnan in weather forecasts refers to Jiangnan in a broad sense; Jiangnan in the three famous buildings in Jiangnan (Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan City, Yueyang Tower in Yueyang City and Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang City) refers to Jiangnan in a broad sense.

Jiangnan.

Jiangnan is now specifically referred to as Jiangnan in a narrow sense, which refers to the area beautified by literati.

That is, excluding the Jiangnan East Road in Fujian Province and southern Zhejiang, it is the core area from Nanjing to Suzhou, including parts of Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province, and Zhejiang Province south of the Yangtze River, that is, southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, southern Anhui, and northern Jiangxi.

Some areas north of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, such as the Yangzhou area, although geographically located in the north of the Yangtze River, are economically and culturally similar to those in the south of the Yangtze River, and are also considered to be part of the Jiangnan region in a cultural sense; while the non-Yangtze River basin is considered to be part of the Jiangnan region.

There are some areas from the south of Taihu Lake to the south of Qiantang River, such as Shaoxing and Ningbo areas.

The obvious features of Jiangnan towns are small bridges, flowing water, and people. The mild weather gives Jiangnan a smoke-like feeling, and the water system extending in all directions gives Jiangnan warmth and prosperity. Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been a rare place in the world.

Paradise, in modern times, with the rapid economic development of the Yangtze River Delta, modern and economically prosperous cities have formed the current Jiangnan, but the exquisiteness remains and the beauty remains the same.

If you want to experience the feeling of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, you can come to Zhouzhuang in Kunshan, which is more typical.

2. The main content of Yu Qiuyu's "Jiangnan Town" This is a cultural prose full of rich Jiangnan flavor.

Jiangnan Town is different from Taoist Towers and Mogao Grottoes. It can make people suddenly feel the vicissitudes of history and helplessness. The taste of Jiangnan is like drinking tea. You have to sit down quietly, drink slowly, and taste it carefully, sometimes in the alley.

The sound of tinkling pipa floats in the air, and the Jiangnan town is the unity of Jiangnan scenery and Jiangnan customs and customs.

When you are a journalist, you should carefully savor the author's emotions that fill the words between the lines.

"Grandeur will wither in an instant, and bustle is another name for short life." This sentence comes immediately after the above sentence. The author showed us a picture of the stable and moist daily life in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. The picture is composed of a small stone bridge with a strong Jiangnan flavor.

, awning-like, and women wearing gauze are intertwined, and the atmosphere of Jiangnan is blowing towards your face.

There is no "grandeur and bustle" in Jiangnan towns, so they are "plain and durable, narrow and long", "indifferent and stable". For those who want to get rid of the troubles and hustle and bustle of the city and avoid "political wrestling", Jiangnan towns

It is the most ideal way to hide and return life to nature.

"Busy people in contemporary metropolises occasionally come to Jiangnan small towns during holidays or other opportunities. The daily administrative bustle, personnel noise, fame and fortune, intrigues and intrigues will be immediately purified, and the clear sound of their shoes on the street stones will be instantly purified.

Once you hear your own heartbeat, you will soon enter into a state of clear enlightenment and never want to leave." This paragraph also follows the above article. The author uses his own experience to express the feelings of Chinese literati under a specific historical background.

In the turmoil of day and night, this sentence is a further interpretation of the "pain and hope in the hearts of Chinese literati" at the beginning of the first part.

"But it will eventually return, to the hustle and bustle." This is the contradiction between ideal and reality.

At the end of the first part, Chen Yifei's "memories" and Sanmao's rolling tears all express his longing for the small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the second part, the author went to Zhouzhuang, and went by boat.

A river without a boat is like a night sky without a crescent moon, a piano without strings, and a woman without beautiful hair. Therefore, for small towns in the south of the Yangtze River with small bridges and flowing water, boats are indispensable.

The boat's leisurely swing and slow progress are completely in tune with the steady pace of life in Jiangnan.

The author compares the boats in Jiangnan to a cradle, and the mysterious bridge is grandma's bridge, which represents the best memories or conceptions of half a year of Chinese literati. Childhood is the first stage of life, so the author regards the small town in Jiangnan as "life."

The starting point of the journey."

People walked out of the indifferent and peaceful Jiangnan town, but they encountered resistance everywhere. Shen Wanshan's tragic experience made the Jiangnan town more aware of the need to cherish and abide by its own ecology.

There is always a conflict between the prominent officialdom and the ordinary people, so the small town in Jiangnan becomes more and more "old and village", and the ambition and vigor disappear in the flowing water of the small town in Jiangnan after running into obstacles everywhere.

This is the understanding of "the end of life's journey".

In the third part, the author went to Tongli Town.

Tongli gave the author a strong sense of belonging, and the reason is: "The small town in Jiangnan is both indifferent to official fame and fortune, but also understands the righteousness of the world. On weekdays, it just stands still. In fact, even the people sitting idle on the side rails of the stone bridge

Old men all have the ability to judge current social affairs with profound insights. When faced with a critical juncture in history, the small town in Jiangnan has never been indifferent.
