"There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." Suzhou Bridge is famous for its charming scenery, and the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is like a charming and fresh picture scroll.

In a corner of Suzhou, there is a national sanitary and civilized city-Zhangjiagang, which is a young and ancient city.

From 65438 to 0963, more than 20 towns were divided from Changshu and Jiangyin to form Shazhou County. 1986, Shazhou County was withdrawn from the county to establish a city. Because there is a Zhangjiagang in China, it is called Zhangjiagang City.

There are many ancient villages in the south of the Yangtze River scattered in the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiagang. There is an ancient village in Miaoqiao Street, Tangqiao Town. The temples in the village are magnificent and elegant, and the old streets in Ming and Qing Dynasties are full of ancient charm.

The most striking thing in the village is a small villa with white walls and tiles, which stands neatly among the vast fields in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is Jincun, with a history of 1500 years. It has successively won the honorary titles of the most beautiful village in Jiangsu Province, the three-star Kangju Village in Jiangsu Province and the beautiful countryside Demonstration Site in Suzhou.

In early autumn, the sky is crisp and the blue sky is spotless. Qiu Yan and her friends drove to Jincun, which is close to Changshu, only about half an hour's drive.

There is an old street in Jincun in Ming and Qing Dynasties, with ancient buildings row upon row and antique. There is an endless stream of vehicles and pedestrians, and there is a smell of fireworks in the simplicity and tranquility.

The street under aerial photography is straight and spacious, and the houses on both sides are row upon row, strewn at random and full of ancient charm.

Jincun town is surrounded by water, and people live by the river. A number of old buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China are also preserved here, and well-shaped streets and deep alleys are clearly visible.

Strolling through Jincun, you can see lush vegetation, blooming crape myrtle and clean roads. The Jiangnan dwellings with white walls and tiles have been painted anew.

The clear river in the village is like a long blue ribbon, clear, calm and soft. The wind and rain corridor near the river has white walls and tiles, and there is a group of exhaust villas behind the corridor, and the new rural style suddenly comes into view.

The companions strolled on the flat bridge deck, and the road was clean and tidy, without a trace of mess. The fresh and cool autumn wind and quaint and beautiful street view give people a comfortable feeling.

On the side of the lotus pond, the green lotus leaves are squeezed, and the pink lotus flowers are dotted among the green leaves, "out of the mud but not stained", and the lotus flowers are fresh and elegant. The house reflected in the pool is like an elegant watercolor painting.

Jincun is also ranked as dock village. According to historical records, people have lived here since the Jin Dynasty. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Jin family moved to avoid chaos, and then the family business flourished, with shops everywhere, and gradually became a market. There are more than 100 families named Jin, which was called Jin Village only in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty.

This ancient village with a thousand years of cultural history has left a profound ancient charm. Small bridges flowing water, pillow river, elm trees towering on both sides.

The towering Horsehead Wall, full of ancient meaning, is particularly eye-catching, showing the unique charm of the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jincun is an ancient cultural village. In Lisan, Fiona Fang, there are many ancestral halls around the village, including six ancestral halls built in the Qing Dynasty. Ancestral temple culture plays an important role in promoting good deeds, helping the poor, being good-neighborly and friendly, and educating folk customs.

The deep ancient fragrance is long and quiet, and you can't see the end at a glance. The old slate street is still well preserved. The sun shines on the slate, which is full of ancient fragrance.

In the shade beside the road, pieces of wooden signs introducing celebrities in our village are erected.

Jincun people inherit their family by farming and reading, and advocate poetry and books. "More than 20 wells are flowing, and more than 100 families can study" is a true portrayal of Jincun's simple folk customs.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been many scholars, juren and students in the village. Celebrities such as Weng Tonghe, a master of the two dynasties, Zhao Shinong, a seal engraver, Zhou Wenzhai, a major general of the Republic of China, and Zong Cheng, a famous abbot of Nanjing Jiming Temple, all left traces of life in Jincun.

Jincun has a profound cultural background and a large number of talented people. Pieces of wooden signs tell a touching story.

There is a unique two-story building on the ancient street, which is the former site of the Jincun Party branch. On the basement level, "Jin Changmao's Rice Tour" was set up. At that time, the Jincun Party branch took this as a cover, which was the place where party member actively carried out revolutionary activities.

Walking into Mihang, I saw bamboo baskets hanging high, the old panes were antique, and there were all kinds of food in the middle rice cabinet.

There are various types of farm tools in the back room, and precious historical pictures are posted on the wall. We watched carefully and our hearts were full of enthusiasm. "Do not forget your initiative mind, remember the mission." Realizing the historical mission of the party in the new era requires our unremitting struggle!

Qiu Yan came to Mihang's kitchen and saw the food on the table of the Eight Immortals was very lifelike. Looking at these old stoves and furniture, I imagined the life of revolutionary soldiers in those days, and my thoughts flew.

Mihang also has a spacious and quiet courtyard with a mottled ancient well in the middle, surrounded by green trees and winding corridors, which looks quiet and elegant.

Out of Mihang, a row of old houses retain the appearance of the 1960s and 1970s, and bright red slogans and portraits of workers, peasants and soldiers are conspicuously written on the snow-white walls, which has become an eternal memory of a generation. Old people are looking for lost youth here.

There is a Little Square next door to Mihang, and a huge party flag on the wall is dazzling and awe-inspiring.

In 20 12, Jincun Village was listed as a demonstration village for the transformation of old villages in Jiangsu Province. In order to protect the history, integrity and inheritance of ancient villages, Jincun Village was built as a traditional relocation community in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the south of the Yangtze River.

A beautiful new villa, neatly built. In front of and behind the house, the trees are lush. The villa with white walls and black tiles among trees is simple and exquisite, and the combination of white stucco walls and vermilion roof tiles is elegant and beautiful. The rich landscape of rural areas in the south of the Yangtze River can be seen.

The powder wall tiles, transparent flower windows, ancient wall doors, gardens and villas in Jincunyuan are full of quaint atmosphere. The elegant environment makes people clear. During the walk, the beautiful scenery is refreshing. These villas constitute a beautiful scenery in Jincun.

The old appearance of Zhangjiagang Jincun, an ancient village in Changshu, has a new look, with both ancient charm and modern new countryside. Quiet and serene, simple folk customs.
