It has been a fertile land since ancient times, and now it is on the bank of a bustling city.
In this beautiful land, there are still many beautiful ancient towns. Let's take a look at the seven most beautiful ancient towns in Qingpu.
Located in the southwest of Qingpu District, Shanghai, 66 kilometers away from the center of Shanghai. Lakes and ponds are all over the territory, and rivers and ports crisscross, which is a typical water town with plenty of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.
This ancient town has a long history. It was built as early as 960 AD (early Song Dynasty). It is said that it flourished in Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. So it is called "Kanazawa" because it is a water town, a land of plenty. There are now seven ancient bridges, which retain the pattern of "one river and two streets" and are famous for their simplicity and liveliness.
Different from other ancient water towns in Shanghai, there is no cruise ship in the river course of Jinze, Shanghai, which looks very comfortable.
Walking in the ancient town, white walls and black tiles, old houses, ancient streets and deep alleys can be seen everywhere. Ponds, ancient trees, boats, people. The scenery is beautiful and harmoniously scattered among the people in the south of the Yangtze River. You can hardly find such tranquility elsewhere.
Kanazawa is an ancient town famous for its bridges, and is known as "the first bridge town in the south of the Yangtze River". Seven ancient bridges built in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties have been preserved in the water town. They are Xiang Ying Bridge, Zushi Bridge (Ruyi Bridge), Fangsheng Bridge, Puji Bridge, Tianwang Bridge, Wan 'an Bridge and Guanye Bridge (Linlao Bridge).
The most famous is Puji Bridge, which is the oldest stone arch bridge in Shanghai with a history of more than 800 years. It was built in the third year of Song Xianfu (AD 1267) and made of purple stone. This bridge, also known as Zishiqiao and Tangsheng Bridge, is the only old stone bridge with three names in the ancient town.
The No.1 Temple in the ancient town was built in the first year of Ding Jing in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is named after the former residence of Prime Minister Lv Yihao. There are monuments such as "No.1 Temple" and ancient ginkgo trees. Every autumn visit season, the ginkgo landscape of the ancient temple is particularly beautiful.
A quiet and primitive water town, ancient bridges and temples, old streets and old alleys, remember the glory here. Baihe Ancient Town, known as the North Gate of Shanghai, is located at the junction of Shanghai and Jiangsu. It is said that this ancient town began in the Tang Dynasty and gradually flourished in the Song Dynasty. It has experienced 1000 years of wind and rain. Formerly known as Qinglong Ancient Town, it has traces of the memory of Shanghai's ancient port. In the twenty-first year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1542), when Qingpu was established as a county, the county government was located here. As an ancient port, the local business activities are frequent, and there are many shops and businessmen. It was once called "Little Hangzhou". Today, there is a saying among local people that "Qinglong Port comes first, then Shanghai Pu".
Nowadays, the name of Baihe ancient town comes from legend. There used to be many reeds here, especially reeds swinging, and there were many cranes on the swing, so the name came from this, and it was named because it was close to Baihe.
At present, Baihe ancient town still retains the traditional streets and lanes of North Street and South Street. The width of the street is about three or four meters, paved with bluestone strips. It is called "Hejiang" Road. Due to the relocation of the business district, there are almost no shops now, which seems deserted.
Ancient stone arch bridges preserved to this day in the ancient town include Qinglong Bridge and Jishan Bridge. Qinglong Bridge is located in the northeast corner of Baihe River, with a total length of19.2m and a width of 3.6m.. Beautiful appearance, very ornamental. Every moonlit night, a full moon hangs in the sky, and the shadow of the moon is reflected on the water through the stone arch. With the ups and downs of water waves, it seems like a dragon swimming in the water. Therefore, it was named "Qinglong Yanyue", which was widely praised by local residents.
Jishan Bridge, also known as Guanyin Bridge and Xiaonan Bridge, is located in the south street of Baihe Ancient Town, across Xixiapu. The age of the original building is unknown, and it was widely used in Qing Dynasty. Its modeling structure is similar to that of Qinglong Bridge, and later generations replaced the stone bridge railing when rebuilding.
Walking in Baihe Town doesn't feel like being in Shanghai. Time seems to have solidified, and I have returned to my old place in the old water town. Today, the well-preserved old buildings in the town lane include Xue's former residence and Yang's former residence.
The well-known Baihe Ancient Town is Qinglong Ancient Pagoda, located in Qinglong Village under the jurisdiction of the ancient town, which is the core area of Qinglong Ancient Town in Tang and Song Dynasties. The ancient pagoda is called Long Fu Temple Pagoda, commonly known as Qinglong Temple Pagoda, also known as Qinglong Wild Goose Pagoda. It is a rare physical monument in Shanghai, and it is also a ground building left by Qinglong Town, an ancient port in Shanghai. It is a valuable material for studying Shanghai's ancient history, ancient buildings and Buddhist history. Qinglong Tower is also the oldest ancient tower in Shanghai.
This place is not only the people in the old street area, but also the charm of the ancient town. It also preserves the ancient cultural site of Fuquanshan, a national key cultural relics protection unit, and is known as "the historical chronology of ancient Shanghai" and "the pyramid of the East".
Chonggu Ancient Town is 9 kilometers away from Qingpu Regional Center. Gucun, a famous village in the early Song Dynasty, became its present name after its establishment. On the stone wall near the north bank of the bridge, there are five striking characters of "Chonggu Supply and Marketing Cooperative", which show the bustling scene of the past.
Like most water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the old street is built along the city river leading to Potang. There used to be East Street, West Street, South Street and North Street along Tongbotang, but now there are only two old streets, East Street and West Street.
Tongbaitang River is crystal clear, and the white walls and gray tiles of the houses on both sides make the old street look neat and quiet. At present, the main heavy bridge is the wide and flat Fuquanshan Bridge, and there is an ancient Nantang Bridge next to it, which spans Tongpotang.
Nantang Bridge was built in the second year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1629) ―― The original county and township records recorded that the bridge was "said to have been built in the early Ming Dynasty", but there was no physical evidence, and the only words on the bridge were "rebuilt in the 13th year of Qing Daoguang (1833)". In 2004, the words "built in the second year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty" were first found on the bridge, which has proved to be the saying that it was built in the Ming Dynasty.
Nantang Bridge is a simplex stone arch bridge with a length of 26 meters and a width of 2.3 meters. It used to be one of the important bridges connecting Qingpu County in the west and Shanghai in the east. When the bridge was rebuilt, the lower pool of Hedong Street in Chonggu Town had not yet become a street, so the bridge slope on the east side of the bridge extended to the bridge lane of the upper pool of Hedong Street. After the reconstruction of Nantang Bridge, Chonggu Town became more prosperous. Businessmen and squires scrambled to seize positions by the bridge, build stone revetments, build houses and open shops. In the early years of Guangxu, East Street and Shangtang and Xiatang shops formed two streets.
Tongbai pond, pillow river people. From Tongbotang East Street to West Street, narrow streets and low tile houses. Years and wind and rain have worn away the scenery of that year, and the old houses in the alley retain traces of history, and we can also see the infiltration of time and history.
Zhujiajiao ancient town in Xibin Dianshan Lake has been a famous market since Song and Yuan Dynasties. With a long history and rich tourism resources, it is known as the "Pearl of the South of the Yangtze River". 199 1 was listed as one of the four famous historical and cultural towns in Shanghai.
There are 36 ancient bridges in Zhujiajiao, which are simple and elegant. Nine long streets are built by water, and residential buildings are built by water. They were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the ancient style still exists. Especially the Ming Dynasty five-hole stone arch bridge across Cao Gang, which is beautiful and spectacular. It is one of the oldest stone arch bridges in Shanghai and a municipal-level cultural relic protection unit in Shanghai.
In the northwest of Zhujiajiao, there are gardens of Mashiko, pavilions and pavilions with different styles and sparse layout. There are moon tower, Pentagon pavilion, Xiaoyao building, banquet hall, karaoke room, book city, book gallery and other buildings. There are also places of interest such as Chenghuang Temple and Zhuxi Park.
Located in the northwest of Chonggu Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai, it was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty. It used to be a bustling ancient market town in Qingpu, known as "Golden Zhangyan, Silver Valley".
Zhangyan ancient town takes Songzetang as the city river, crossing Songze in the south, Taipu River to Songjiang and Qinglong in the north. It can go to sea via qinglong river, with convenient waterway transportation, prosperous commerce in Ming Dynasty, more than 100 merchants, complete categories and prosperous industries. There is a temple fair every June. According to legend, Zhang Kun, a politician and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once built a weir and settled here when he was supervising salt in Huating, hence the name, which was mentioned in Songjiang Prefecture Records and Qingpu County Records in the Qing Dynasty.
The ancient town of Zhangyan was built in Nanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1069). During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, thanks to the convenience of trade, gentry and merchants moved in one after another. At that time, there were more than 200 households in 20 families, including Zhang Jia, Li Jia, Gu Jia, Wang Jia, Yuan Jia and Shen Jia. There are/kloc-0 temples in the east and west, and/kloc-0 temples in the county seat. There are more than 0/00 shops, rice mills, pawn shops, shops, workshops, teahouses and pubs in Hexi. At that time, xin jing Inspection Department was located here in Qingganlong. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Dong Qing's grain and oil were distributed here and the market was prosperous because it was located in the hinterland of Dong Qing and there was no Japanese army stationed. In the early days of liberation, it was once the seat of Zhangyan and Yan Xi Town People's Government. 1957 after the withdrawal of the district and the merger of the township, the political, economic and cultural centers moved to Chonggu, and Zhangyan gradually declined.
There are many ancient bridges in the ancient town. The famous Fenglai Bridge is paved with long slate, with simple shape, and the font of the bridge name engraved on the bridge side is still clearly visible. Xianghua Bridge, which divides urban rivers and streets into two parts, is a beautiful single-hole stone arch bridge. Although the lion stone carving on the handrail has been destroyed, you can still feel the agility and exquisiteness of the whole bridge. People come and go on the bridge, which is the main passage of the north and south old streets.
This town is located in Qingpu District and has a history of 1000 years. Legend has it that the Three Kingdoms Dongwu built a pool to practice the water army here, hence the name; It is also said that it was named after Zhang Zaijun, the secretariat of Gaozhou in the Five Dynasties, and his wife Lian's wife once lived here.
The ancient town of Li Antang has a unique water environment. Up to now, there are more than 65,438+00 bridges, such as Yixue Bridge, Pingfang Bridge, Liu Fang Bridge, Wanshan Bridge, Chaozhen Bridge, Zhonghongqiao Bridge, Shunde Bridge and Qing Yu Bridge, hidden among weeping willows. People walk on it, boats walk on it, and people are drawn into people's hearts in the painting, like a thick picture of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The ancient bridges are hidden among weeping willows and have different shapes. The small wooden boat glides gently from time to time, with people walking on it and the boat walking below. The scenery is particularly beautiful.
Different from some ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the old houses along Stone Street in Li Antang Town are not full of shops and the doors are unlocked. Residents have completely maintained the original ecology of self-management and self-life. A small town that feels very quiet, there is also a small river with quaint houses along the river. There are no dazzling shops and shops along the street, and there are no tourists. It just lay quietly on one side.
The ancient town of Li Antang is the hometown of Chen Yun, a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation. Now Chen Yun's former residence is located in the ancient town, which is a biography museum showing Chen Yunsheng's peaceful achievements. There are four exhibition halls in the memorial hall. The exhibition hall shows Chen Yun's glorious life in chronological order. The illustrated exhibition recorded the life story of Comrade Chen Yun, and a large number of manuscripts and other precious historical materials truly restored the revolutionary course of that year.
