The ancient town of Nanyang, shaped like a pipa, is the largest island in Nanyang Lake. There are more than 80 natural islands around the island, all of which are like houses. Together with the ancient town of Nanyang, they form a beautiful picture of water towns and villages. The canal in the ancient town passes through the town, and the streets are built along the river, winding, shops, restaurants, teahouses, grain shops, inns, salt shops, silk shops and so on. The folk houses in the town are quite distinctive. Xiaoqing bricks, small tile houses, covered households and lotus brush windows complement each other with islands, canals, ancient towns, water towns and the vast Nanyang Lake, forming a unique water town landscape in the north of the Yangtze River and a profound canal culture. Visiting the town can't help but remind me of ancient and long-standing historical memories.
Ancient towns carry extremely rich historical and cultural information, and there is a saying that "a Nanyang town is half the history of water transportation". Zhong Zhen Canal is the only ancient canal without siltation in the whole Shandong Canal. There are more than 30 places of interest in the ancient town, such as Jiege crossing the river, Guandi Temple, Yangjia memorial archway, Champion Hutong, Longqiao Wobo, etc., with simple shapes, exquisite carvings and rich compositions. This shows the prosperity of the ancient town at that time. After the opening of the North-South Grand Canal in the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor's southern tour had to take the waterway through Nanyang and stopped here. So far, there are many legendary anecdotes about Kangxi and Qianlong's stay in Nanyang during their southern tour. The royal kitchen, the royal official's office, the royal food hall, the emperor's residence and other historical sites have been preserved. The streets in Shang Zhen are all bluestone roads, and the houses are mostly ancient buildings with bluestone brick and wood structure. Among them, Ji Hu Qianzhuang is a building in Qing Dynasty, which can be regarded as a living fossil of ancient Qianzhuang culture in China. The ancient mosque in China embodies the integration of Islamic culture and Manchu-Chinese culture at that time. "Folk Culture Museum" allows you to deeply understand folk customs and feel the historical changes of Nanyang's vicissitudes of life and water transport culture from prosperity to decline. .
Nanyang was originally a village on the North China Plain. In the Ming Dynasty, a new river was dug for water transportation, which made the water around Nanyang become a water tank and formed Nanyang Lake, which is an island in the lake. Nanyang Canal economy and culture from germination to prosperity, from prosperity to decline, and then to the rise of modern canal economy, left a strong stroke in history. The prosperity of the town's economy and culture can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, when the Sihe River running through Nanyang was transformed into the Nanyang Canal. In the year from Yuan to Shun, Nanyang Gate, Gate Department, Bridge Post Office and River Management Office were built in the town, and Nanyang became an important wharf along the canal. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Nanyang's economy reached its peak. In the Ming Dynasty, He Qiao Post Office, Gate Office and River Management Office were set up, and the Qing government set up traffic tax supervision, specializing in defense and garrison. At this time, Nanyang became an important commercial port on the bank of the canal. "Fishing boats, wine boats, merchant ships and rice-flour boats come and go, gathering eaves like streets", and it is also called the four major canals with Zhenjiang, Yangzhou and Xiazhen.
Nanyang Town is not only antique, with a lake area of 6.5438+0.5 million mu, more than 50 species of aquatic economic plants and nearly 100 species of fish, shrimp and shellfish. Thousands of acres of lotus reeds, blue sky and clear water, and wild duck lake grass constitute a natural water amusement park. "Spring lake is full of fragrant grass, summer lotus flowers are fragrant, autumn is full of snow, winter is full of geese and ducks", boating places, flowing canals, balcony promenades along the river, thatched boats on the water, ancient streets, flashy shops, green stone bridges and antique lintels all reflect the beauty of Jiangbei water town.
Nanyang, a famous historical and cultural town in China, was named as a tourist town by Shandong Provincial Tourism Bureau. Its unique northern water landscape, perfect ecological pattern, profound cultural heritage and vivid canal culture are pleasing to the eye, attracting many tourists every year and becoming an excellent place for tourism, vacation and leisure.
