Fengjing Town became a city in Song Dynasty and was built in Yuan Dynasty. Is a civilized ancient town with a history of 1500 years, which spans wuyue. Fengjing Town is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by water networks, with rivers in the area. Known as "three steps and two bridges, one looking at ten ports", the town is small and exquisite, shaped like a lotus leaf; There are trees in the territory, rows of Lushe houses, swift water and lotus flowers all over the territory, which are elegant and beautiful, so they are also called "Qingfengjing" and "Fengxi", and also called "furong town".

Enter the "Fengjing" Shipai Building with three rooms and four columns, pass through the "Dongzha" Stone Square along the Chenghe and Chahe rivers around the ancient city, walk along the river one old street with blue bricks and tiles, cross one stone bridge after another, and display one ancient architectural complex after another along Wulihe Street. Every morning, the teahouse on the riverside bridge is filled with tea fragrance. Fishing boats from the four townships pass the waterfront balcony of Jiahe River and Shihe Port, and gather in the fish market in front of the shed in the long riverside corridor. The water ripples on the river, just like the folk song "Snails fly in January, peach blossoms fly in February and March ..."

Through the Shipai Building, into the Production Street, a long row of winding black corridors and sheds along the river, with small black tile roofs and small black bricks on the ground, and red lanterns hanging high under the eaves, which is the so-called secluded place in Gu Xiang. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mihang walked from house to house in this street. At that time, there was a wind and rain gallery shed in front of every house, which has withered in modern times and is now rebuilt. Usually young people go to work, and grandmothers use the riverbank as a platform in the porch, killing fish and washing rice, washing vegetables and washing clothes; Although the facade of the old house facing the street is not big, it is long and narrow, showing the depth of the courtyard; The river street in Fengjing is surrounded by people sleeping by the river and facing the river; Across the river is the old house by the pillow river in Heping Street. In the East, a flying beam painting building and China's plays have begun to take shape. In the Song and Jin Dynasties, an outdoor stage dedicated to performance in ancient times-the ancient stage was formally formed. In the middle Tang Dynasty, there were three literary forms. At that time, the theater was collectively called the theater, and there were records of such names as "music shed", "singing platform", "stage" and "terrace" in Tang poetry. In Song Dynasty, it evolved into a hook fence and an invitation shed, and the platform of the hook fence had a fixed roof. In the Yuan Dynasty, China opera reached its peak, and a "stage" appeared formally. Fengjing Ancient Stage was built in Chenghuangmiao Square, facing the street and the river. Whenever there is a performance, people who come by boat from the water can sit on the boat and watch the play. In the Qing Dynasty, there were temple fairs in the North and South Town God Temples. "Xiao Zhi of the Continued Wind Well" contains: "At the end, scholars and women flocked to the room to observe it, and those who came within a hundred miles gathered in boats and blocked the river." Visible its grand. At that time, vendors, Beijing opera classes, circus, etc. Will gather in Fengjing, and the ancient stage will be very lively. Now the ancient stage has been rebuilt. After reconstruction, the mesa of the ancient stage is 64 meters wide and 44 meters deep, and the stage area is 28 square meters. It has a roof leaning against a mountain and a cornice, which is full of ancient meanings. Opposite the stage, a row of old houses near the river is the morning meeting teahouse. Visitors can sit by the window and have a rest, enjoy the opera while drinking tea and enjoy the scenery by the window. According to legend, the beauty in the veranda is just across the river and can watch the performance.

Stepping over the zodiac stone, there is a conspicuous western-style red facade on the east side of the promenade, which is the former site of the Eastern Fire Management Committee and the only relatively complete modern fire control institution in Shanghai. There is a red fire boat docked in the river in front of the door, which is the last fire boat in Shanghai. The former housing management office compound on Heping Street is being rebuilt into the "Three Hundred Gardens", with Shimen and Sanjin courtyards, which are the collective names of the three collections that collect and display hundreds of folk goods. Now, the Hundred Baskets Pavilion has been built and officially opened. The Bailan Pavilion is located in the middle row of the building, with a courtyard in front, and a huge imitation ancient gold ingot in the middle of one side of the courtyard, which has become the symbol of Bailan Pavilion. There are 100 baskets with various uses and shapes in the museum, which fully reflects the close relationship between baskets and people's lives in past dynasties: there are cradles for sleeping at birth, book baskets for reading, gift baskets at home, rice baskets and vegetable baskets for daily use, incense baskets for ancestor worship, life baskets for longevity, sewing baskets for female workers, baking baskets and cigarette baskets for steaming things. "Carrying bamboo baskets in the morning, the children buy spring vegetables." Bai Juyi's poems vividly describe the scene that the basket has been integrated into the lives of ordinary people in the south of the Yangtze River. From the folk song "many rivers, many bridges, many lanes and many blue heads" reflecting the scenery of Fengjing, we can see the position of baskets in the people's livelihood in the south of the Yangtze River. There is another place on Heping Street that preserves the historical traces of the second half of the19th century, which is worth seeing.

North Street is the best preserved street in the ancient commercial street. Walking through the slate street and on the flat plank road, at first glance, there are two-story buildings on both sides of the narrow street. Looking up at the sky, I can only see the narrow sky, and the wooden windows reveal the true colors of the logs. The side of the building facing the street is a plane structure, and the characteristics and scale of each building cannot be seen. Looking from the city river at the back door, every household branches out of the river, or the eaves are stacked with tiles, or the arcades are towering, or the goulan pavilion, or the ground floor is close to the water tower, and the stone steps are directly connected to the river port, or leaning against the windows of Zhuge and Xiao Xuan, forming a colorful scenery of the water town. Occasionally, there are large and small Jiangnan cruise ships passing by, and people and scenery set each other off.

The ancient shops and workshops in North Street are concentrated, and the handicraft industry has been very developed. As early as the Song Dynasty, iron, wood, bamboo, farm tools and daily necessities were all made by hand. With the introduction of textile technology, spinning and weaving are popular. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Fengjing was located in the national cotton textile production and trade center, with a daily output of tens of thousands of pieces of cloth. According to historical records, "hundreds of cloth names in the former Ming Dynasty were all in Songjiang, Fengjing and Zhujing, followed by dyeing houses, trampling houses and merchants." At that time, there were more than 200 Tubu villages in Fengjing Town. In the Qing dynasty, there were many layouts in the town, and Jiangnan Weaving also set up institutions and workshops in Fengjing to produce and purchase cotton textiles. Fengjing cloth is sold all over the country. Fengjing has thus become the most famous ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River along with Shengze and Nanxun. At the end of Qing dynasty, rice bran industry replaced the declining homespun industry, which made Fengjing industry and commerce prosper again. In modern times, Fengjing Slim Rice and Fengjing Pig became household agricultural and sideline brands. Since 1930s, Fengjing has become an important producer of yellow rice wine industry in China. Rice wine, Fengjing Dingti, Guihua Zhuangyuan cake and Tianxiang tofu, which have been circulating for more than 100 years, are called "Four Treasures of Fengjing" today. In modern times, most of the ancient workshops have been ruined, and the most intact one is Shitaishan Pharmacy (Pharmacy) No.375. In order to show the production of ancient handicrafts, North Street, where handicraft workshops were concentrated in those years, is now planned as a handicraft workshop, equipped with production equipment and trained relevant personnel. At that time, visitors will be shown the ancient handicraft production skills such as weaving, ironing, pharmacy and making bamboo and wood utensils. Visitors can also operate and experience by themselves. In these workshops, you can buy original and simple handicrafts. Of course, you can also try to make your own bamboo tube, shovel, hoe, cloth shoes and homespun headscarf. ......

Fengjing Town is surrounded by water network, and most people build houses along the river. There are boats on the river, so shopping is very convenient. There are many rivers and bridges in the town, which is known as "three steps and two bridges, one looking at ten ports". By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were as many as 52 bridges in the town, and now there are more than 10 remaining. The oldest bridge is Hezhi Bridge next to South Street, which was built in Yuan Dynasty. Simple and vigorous, the cracks in the bridge are covered with moss, and there are stone steps and water piers under both bridges. Looking from the bridge, there are trees on both sides, ancient houses and rivers, Hongqiao lying in front, stone bridges spanning behind, and small bridges flowing everywhere. Shen Rongcheng wrote in "Fengxi Zhi Zhu Ci" that "autumn swings stand beside Ruihong Bridge, which is clear and beautiful." At Hongqiao, the city river is T-shaped and vertical. Look at the three rivers, and you can see three bridges and three bridges. It is reported that a Jiuqiao Pavilion will be built here for tourists to enjoy the scenery of Xiang Qiao. Friendship Street opposite Hongqiao and the residential groups on both sides of the river are the original features of the late Qing Dynasty. "Zhouzhuang Shuangqiao is famous far and wide, and the scenery of Fengjing Third Bridge is unparalleled." The scenic spot of Fengjing Third Bridge, which is about to be restored and rebuilt, will become a landscape of the ancient town of Feng Jing.

Fengjing, with a developed culture, is the birthplace of Jinshan peasant painting, which is famous at home and abroad. Fengjing people love life, and folk arts such as blue calico, furniture carving, kitchen murals, lanterns, paper-cutting, embroidery and weaving have a long history. Rich folk culture and art gave birth to Jinshan peasant painting. Jinshan farmers, mainly Fengjing farmers' painters, created Jinshan farmers' paintings with strong local flavor and unique artistic style, which had a wide influence at home and abroad. There are many galleries in the town, all of which are the ancestral homes of famous painters. Cheng Shifa's ancestral home in Heping Street has been restored and opened. The Ding Cong Comic Exhibition Hall on North Street is located on the second floor of a building that combines Chinese and Western styles. In front of the building is an old ginkgo tree and a bunch of big bars. Ding Cong's life and 100 cartoons are displayed in the museum, and humorous paintings often make people linger. Jinshan farmer painting exhibition center in Tang Sheng Lane, South Street is located in the reading building of Cai Yitai, the champion of Qing Dynasty. Very elegant, but a picture reveals a strong local flavor. Farmers' paintings, Ding Cong's cartoons, Cheng Shifa's Chinese paintings and Gu Shuiru's Weiqi, which have considerable influence at home and abroad, are all concentrated in Fengjing Town, which is a rare regional cultural phenomenon in China.

There is a 600-meter-long ancient house on the Zhaxi River opposite the town government, with a construction area of 6,543,800+2,000 square meters. To the west of the ancient stage, it is located in the former site of the Qing Post Office at No.92 Heping Street, with gray walls and black tiles, and a solid structure. The doorframes on both sides are stone pillars, and the words "post office" above the high door are conspicuous. This is one of the few existing sites of the Qing post office in Shanghai. Fengjing, with developed culture and prosperous economy, is a rare ancient town with complete Taoism, Buddhism, Catholicism and Christianity in the south of the Yangtze River. As early as the first year of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties (502), a Taoist temple was built at the south gate of Fengjing. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Buddhism prevailed, and temples were everywhere in the streets, alleys and squares. There are three temples in the town. In the late Qing Dynasty, Catholicism and Christianity began to introduce maple resources. Go to sexy temples, temples, ancestral temples and other cultural landscapes, and you can find the historical traces of ancient Fengjing Town, which was divided into north and south, half Wu and half border.
