There is another rookie in the water resort-Jiangyin Changjing.

The prosperity of Changjing ancient town is not far away.

when we came to this ancient town, which was built by the water and became a city because of the street, we saw old shops with gray tiles and small bridges and flowing water, which had a vicissitudes and familiar taste.

Linhe is a stone revetment with the same color. The narrow street is paved with stone slabs with the same color. On the stone revetment, there is a stone river beach with the same color. The stone steps extend into the water along the river, facing east or west. There are wells and stone railings with the same color on the stone shore.

It seems that we can see that the floodplain is crowded with women washing dishes, they greet each other across the river, the parents' short soft words of Wu Nong, the screaming of boatmen splashing by, the proud laughter of boatmen and the peddlers' high and low cries ... The ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River wakes up in the morning with this noise, and the old street is filled with the fragrance of fried dough sticks, all of which are still vaguely present in the noise of modern civilization.

Changjing is called Dongshun City in Jiangyin. According to the Records of Local Habits compiled by Zhou Department in the Western Jin Dynasty, Shun once lived here, plowed the land and burned it, and civilized the ancestors. Since then, the ancient civilization of Changjing has been opened up, and the site of Dongshun City has become a scene so far.

Thus, the ancient town of Changjing has the saying that "Shunzi lived in the south of the Yangtze River, but it was a vaguely 5,-year-old relic, and the water in the east of Changjing was split into four miles of rivers and mountains". The prosperity of Changjing began in the Song Dynasty, because Changjing is located at the central node of the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake, with developed water system and convenient transportation, and gradually formed two major markets in the north and south, hence the name Dongchengli.

During Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, the river was connected again, which made the three rivers into one water, and the east and west were connected with the big river, and the two banks gradually became streets and cities by the water.

There are two streets, facing each other across the river, with east and west running in parallel. The two streets in Henan and Hebei are connected by four bridges, forming four lanes.

the street is a dragon's body, and it is made into a dragon's foot, with its head in the east and tail in the west, and it has the potential to soar.

In the afternoon of drizzling rain, we walked on this precious stone street. Most of the storefronts facing the street are two-story buildings, which are close together, and there is a narrow and deep alley separated by a section. The narrow street and the Ming and Qing Dynasties-style verandah skillfully form a "line of sight", and the small buildings on both sides depend on each other, so we can almost hold hands across the street.

There are shops in the facade houses, and the pavements are of different sizes. Looking through the facade hall, there will always be several deep courtyards, and some of them have a deep quadrangle hidden inside.

Most houses have basements under them, which is a rare building in the south of the Yangtze River, perhaps because of the high terrain and low groundwater level on both sides of the Jingshui River.

There are many shops in Shiban Street, such as rice shops, cloth shops, bookstores, teahouses, pharmacies, north and south groceries, inns, bathrooms, tailors, etc. There are only seven pawn shops, and the wealth of Changjing is very famous in Fiona Fang Baili, "Yan Cheng Jiang Yi Southeast-da shi Yi".

On March 3, 193, a special guest came to Shiban Street. He was the teacher of the emperor and Weng Tonghe, the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty.

Changshenyu Store in Changjing is famous for producing horseshoe cakes, snowflake cakes, sesame cakes, crispy cakes, shriveled beans, powdered salt beans and spiced peanuts.

The prosperity of Changjing market is well known. In this old street, people from four miles and eight townships come to buy necessities. Women buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, clothing, shoes and hats, and cosmetics. Men buy hookah wine, hoes, rakes, and coir hats. Everything from daily necessities to production tools.

By the time we got there, the street had lost its former prosperity, and only a few rickety small restaurants were still open.

One of them is called "Old Restaurant", which faces the street and faces the river. People in the store will also talk about the past events in the town.

Of course, the business of this old hotel is still thriving on Shiban Street.

At the eastern end of Shiban Street is the 8-year-old Dafu Silkworm Breeding Farm, with a huge courtyard, buildings in the early years of the Republic of China, and two-story semi-open long buildings (including a semi-basement). All the buildings in the courtyard are connected by corridors, winding and winding, with small courtyards strewn at random, deep and elegant.

Although it is midsummer, it is still cool and breezy to walk into the breeding workshop.

It used to be the largest silkworm egg farm in the south of the Yangtze River, with an annual output of more than 5, high-quality hybrid silkworm eggs, which were exported to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Xinjiang under the brand of "Sailing Boat".

From the two maps of the ancient Silk Road on the wall, we can see that silkworm eggs, silks and silks here are transported from rivers, lakes and harbors in the south of the Yangtze River and canals to Luoyang and Kaifeng, then to Chang 'an, out of the western regions and to the western European continent.

Out of the gate of Dafu Silkworm Breeding Farm, Mianhe is a declining boat dock.

standing on the dock, I think back to the time when the Changjing River, with water flowing through the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River estuary were at high tide, the river tide poured into the inland river, especially when the tide was high, the river rushed to Changjing, like a hurricane coming from the west, and the river rolled up thousands of piles of snow.

there was a poem to prove it: the water in Changjing has been growing for ages, and there is a tidal current under it to connect with Jiangpu.

When the sun rises, the spring falls, and the autumn returns, the divine fish leaps into the deep and breathes.

suddenly, a huge wind came from the west, boiling and angry as snow.

Although the waves, sails and voices are gone, the celebrity demeanor of Changjing, the leader of the atmosphere, is still spread.

Shang Guanyunzhu, a generation of movie stars, was born on March 2nd, 192 in an old brick-wood building on Shiban Street, which has now become the Shang Guanyunzhu Memorial Hall.

It is this narrow slate street that has produced many celebrities, including Zhang, the founding father of "Two Bombs and One Satellite", Shen Xuan, an astronomer, and Zhang Ligang, an isotope expert.

Bao hansheng, an anti-Japanese.

Growing up on the banks of the Yiwanjing River, the traces of history and the accumulation of culture are constantly impacting your senses and stirring your heart, and you will naturally have an impulse to treasure, the beauty of history, culture and people who have infiltrated history and culture. This is the beauty of Changjing. "
