The reason why the former Tonggu Town was neglected and underestimated was not because it didn't have enough characteristics and obvious style. On the contrary, it is not only an extraordinary ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, but also without much decoration. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and more relaxed. The scenery is more primitive than Wuzhen and Zhouzhuang, and it is known as "Lijiang in East Zhejiang", but its name is little known.
The name of the original Tonggu Town is little known, and its existence is often ignored by people, which has a lot to do with its history and folk customs. Huang Tong, which was founded in the late Southern Song Dynasty, is the official residence of Di Gonglang and the ancestor of Gantong ancient town. On an outing, I accidentally found this treasure trove of geomantic omen, which is surrounded by mountains and waters, but it is not windproof. So my family moved to this place from Huangyan, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, isolated from mountains and rivers. Children who have lived here for generations have grown up with this world.
It is also the fact that the ancient town of Qiantong was "neglected", which made it retain the old houses and old streets in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This has also led to this small town with the most ancient charm of Confucian culture in eastern Zhejiang, which has been "underestimated" by the world.
Founded in the Southern Song Dynasty, it flourished in the Qing Dynasty. In the long river of history, the ancient town of Qiantong did not destroy its original appearance, but maintained its original intention from beginning to end, so there are still more than 300 ancient houses in/kloc-0.
In the ancient town, "every family has carved beams and every household has running water", and the gossip water system is as clear as water and flows all over every household. "Not like a water town, it is not as good as a water town", and the ancient charm of ancient houses, ancient academies and old ancestral halls still exists; Old streets, pavilions and archways complement each other. This is the original version of an extraordinary Jiangnan Ming and Qing residential building.
In the long river of history, Jiangnan has preserved many ancient water towns. We will fall in love with an ancient town in Jiangnan because of our personal preferences, and we will ignore the existence of an ancient town in Jiangnan and underestimate its value because we can't arrive in time. The same is true of the ancient town of Qiantong.
When we have the opportunity to enter the ancient town of Qiantong, an extraordinary ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River with the original version of the ancient houses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, we will also fall in love with this ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River that was once neglected by us.
Tonggu Town is located in Ninghai County, Ningbo City. Ancient town, old house, blue brick and gray tile.
Drive 20 kilometers from Ninghai, buy tickets at the ticket office, the fare is 70 yuan/person, and then walk 750 meters to the ancient town of Qiantong.
When you walk into the ancient village of Qiantong, the first thing you see is that "every household has running water", which is a major feature of the ancient village of Qiantong. My former children can live to this day, and I think it has a close relationship with this canal that enters the village and enters the house.
Imagine that without this canal, houses, people and time would be eclipsed.
Walking on the cobblestone path in the ancient town, the roadside is beautiful running water and the side is green.
Brick by brick, the simple flavor is getting stronger and stronger, which makes people calm down.
The business in the ancient town of Gantong is not heavy. The day before yesterday, there were three treasures: dried incense, tofu and Xiajian cake. Be sure to try.
I can't come all day on weekends. Feel the slow life of my ex-child and make you forget the disputes and complexities in the outside world.
