Hu Lin, my beloved hometown.

Hulin Town, an ancient and young town, is my beloved hometown. It is located in the east of Taihu Plain, in the middle of Dongshan Peninsula, with Taihu Lake in the east and west, Xukou in the north and Dongshan in the southwest. Before the formation of Taihu Plain, our ancestors used to engage in fishing, hunting and planting activities on the sandbar. It gradually became a village in the early Ming Dynasty and built a town in the early Qing Dynasty, with a history of 1000 years. In 2006, due to the adjustment of regional economic development, du cun and Puzhuang merged to form Hulin Town. The town covers an area of 54.7 square kilometers and has a permanent population of 46,000.

In this land, du cun is rich in cultural relics and historic sites. Du cun is a water network area of "open the door and get out by boat". The Sudong Canal passes through the territory, and the bridges on the river are reasonable in layout, simple and beautiful, with different shapes and full of interest. There are the majestic Zhuangzi Bridge, the exquisite Fuqing Bridge, the opposite bridge and Taiping Bridge, the magnificent and quaint Kongjiatang Bridge, the tall and long Cailian Bridge, and the symmetrical flat-topped three-hole Antou Bridge of Huanglang Bridge. There are three bamboo-clip bridges in xin jing Port, and a small push raft (gondola) in Zhanjia Port, which has the artistic conception of "crossing the wild without a boat", and the ancient bridge crosses time and space. 1958 comprehensively widened the Sudong Canal, demolished four bridges in Zhuangzi, Cailian, Huanglong and Antou, and then rebuilt two bridges in Zhuangzi and Cailian, renamed as Zhuangzhi Bridge and Cailian Bridge, which is homophonic. The origin of picking lotus is also the story of stone. Fuqing Bridge in the south of du cun, commonly known as the new bridge, has soft stone revetment lines on both sides, different shapes of stone piers and unique charm of water town. Su Dongban's ship once docked here.

The market town is built along the river with narrow streets, which are divided into front street, back street and horizontal street. It has typical characteristics of small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Republic of China, there were 28 grocery stores, 15 teahouses, 8 restaurants, meat shops, fish shops, medicine shops and hospitals in the town. It is rare for a small town to have so many liquor stores, mainly because du cun has a well-developed liquor industry. Before and after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, almost every family made wine, which was the main economic pillar of du cun. Until the 1970s, after the eastward expansion of Xinjie, it became a D-shaped layout. In the 1990s, after the new street was built in the north end, the old market town was gradually left out.

West taihu lake has the mouth of Linghu Lake, which was connected with Yushan in ancient times. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, a water outlet with a width of more than ten kilometers had been rushed out, and the mouth of Linghu Lake, which was more than four meters into the lake, became a place for people to enjoy the scenery. Jin Xianglin said in the Qing Dynasty: "The water near the mouth of Linghu Lake is high, and fisherman Zhang Qian goes into the city day and night to catch fish and shrimp. In the Ming dynasty, you don't have to buy rice. " Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty also came here. Now it has been transformed into Linghuzui Park.

Linghuzui Park is very beautiful. In autumn, the reeds on Taihu Lake stand upright like swords in the rustling autumn wind. Like a thoughtful poet, white reeds fluttered and flew all over the sky, becoming a world of reeds. At this time, Taihu Sanbai and Taihu hairy crabs became delicious on the table. Sail a little, the sunset glow is beautiful. Now it has become the most essential place in the Garden Expo Park and a good place for leisure and entertainment.

East Taihu Lake is vast in smoke and waves, and there are countless clear water and fish. Hulin Town Government plans to build an eco-agricultural scenic spot in East Taihu Lake. I believe that in the near future, it will show the fascinating scenery of sailing boats, fishing songs, accessible cottages, Hetao, fog and water.

It is said that Taihu Lake was once a part of the East China Sea. On the shore of Taihu Lake, every Taihu stone and every aquatic plant is quietly telling the historical data of the lake in the vicissitudes of the wind.

In history, the lake is a hinterland with frequent floods, rampant bandits and natural disasters.

After the reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in Hulin Town. Especially in recent years, the development of Hulin Town has intensified, rural highway construction has promoted the coexistence of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, the industrial economy has developed rapidly, and the real estate industry has sprung up, and tourism and leisure have become a new industry for economic growth. Diligent and intelligent lakeside children, with their own hands, make their hometown more and more beautiful and their lives more and more happy.

Since then, Hulin Town has become a beautiful water town, a land of fish and rice in the true sense, and a bright pearl on the shore of Taihu Lake.

Today, there are three treasures of "woolen sweater, hot spring and fresh lake" by the lake. The three treasures strung together the characteristic economic industries around the lake, leaving people with a very beautiful and pleasant feeling. In spring, if you come to the lake as a guest, taste the fresh and delicious water, soak in hot springs and have colorful sweaters, you will dress up again.

Du cun cardigans are well known. Du cun has long been synonymous with sweaters, and du cun sweaters have become well-known collective brands in the Yangtze River Delta region. A large number of excellent woolen sweater private enterprises have emerged in Hulin Town, such as Jiayang, Wan Li, Lichen, Nifei Changma and Homa. They are like shining stars, illuminating the sky of the development history of du cun woolen sweaters. Du cun woolen sweater has gone abroad and gone to the world, which has been familiar to people from all corners of the country.

At the same time, the characteristic blocks make every effort to build supporting facilities, such as People's Commune theme park, fishing cultural corridor, Linghuzui Park, Mountain Lake Hot Spring Club, Taihu Ecological Fishing Village, etc., all on the same axis of the characteristic blocks, relying on the town tourism company to taste the fresh lake of People's Commune, wear sweaters in the characteristic blocks, soak in hot springs by the lake, and visit the scenery of Taihu Lake, forming a flexible and distinctive economic and cultural industrial chain near the lake.

Especially on April 8, 20 16 and 18, the 9th Jiangsu Horticultural Exposition was held in Hu Lin with the theme of "ink painting south of the Yangtze River, garden life". Taihu Lake is boiling, the lake is boiling, and the people on the lake are boiling. The beautiful artistic conception displayed in the Garden Expo Park and the beautiful natural scenery of Zhong Ling filled my heart with unspeakable feelings. The beautiful Taihu Lake landscape, classical Soviet-style gardens, real willow houses in the south of the Yangtze River and profound ancient Wu heritage fully show the harmonious beauty between man and nature.

I grew up in Hu Lin, the daughter of Hu Lin and Taihu Lake. Yes, I am related to Hu Lin, and I am related to Hu Lin. The elders by the lake are hardworking, brave, simple, kind and hospitable. I love you deeply.-Hu Lin. Let's look for historical sites together, brush away the dust, reproduce the splendid history and culture, and build this treasure land even better!
