brief introduction

Biji lane is located on the North Bank of the ancient canal in the west of the city. Since the 14th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1519), piling post has been set up here. Piling post is the residence where officials and clerks pass by to pass official documents in ancient times and where they stay and exchange horses. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, piling post was also known as Huanghua hall. The Jieguan Pavilion is called Huanghua Pavilion, and the wharf in front of the pavilion is called the big wharf. You can see the archway of the big wharf, the Huanghua Pavilion, the stone tablet of piling post in the pavilion, and the big Wharf on the Bank of Guyun river. According to historical records, when Qianlong visited Changzhou in the south, he came to the city from this dock twice. Biji lane was formerly known as Huashi street. In ancient times, there were rows of comb shops selling palace flowers. In ancient times, palace lanterns were hung in every shop and every workshop at night in Biji lane. The glittering and translucent lights are reflected in the canal water and the boats on the shore. Standing on the Wenheng bridge, you can see it from a distance, just like a golden dragon. It is a beautiful and charming scene. It is known as one of the eight sceneries in the western suburbs of Changzhou - "Biliang lantern".

Grand Pier

There is a large archway at the entrance of Biji lane, which is written with three red characters "big dock". As the name suggests, this is where the big dock is located. Since 1519, piling post has been set up in this lane. This post is specially used for the official and the official to stop the ship or exchange horses when they pass through the local area. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, piling post was also known as Huanghua Pavilion, so there was Huanghua Pavilion beside the wharf. According to historical records, three times when Qianlong visited Changzhou in the south, he came ashore to the city from this dock.

Huanghuating

Backed by the Grand Canal, Huaide bridge in the West and Biji Lane in the East, it is the highest level of the three official pavilions along the Grand Canal in Changzhou City in ancient times. In the Huanghua Pavilion, there is an inscription of piling post, written by Mr. Wu Zhongqi, a great modern calligrapher. Changzhou was called piling post in the Tian Han Dynasty, so the post station here was called piling post. At that time, it was second only to Jinling post in Jiangnan. In a dream of Red Mansions, the last parting between Jia Baoyu and Jia Zheng is arranged on the top of Wenheng bridge at piling post, which shows that piling post was well-known at that time.

Wenheng Bridge

The ancient bridge beside the Huanghua Pavilion is Wenheng bridge. It was built in 1548 and rebuilt in 1768. It is commonly known as Xinqiao. In the old days, it was crossed by boats and crossed by wheels and hooves. It was an important traffic road. "Wuyang Zhiyu" is known as the bridge in Changzhou as "only the most outstanding man". When the bright moon is in the sky and the breeze is blowing slowly, the mirror is hanging high and the light is shining everywhere. Looking down at the bridge, the microwave waves are rippling and the river is flowing. It seems that the moon reflected in the water will be washed away through the bridge. Therefore, "Wenheng crossing the moon" has become the second of the eight scenes in the western suburb of Changzhou. The bridge is a must for the emperor to visit the south. Therefore, the local court will not wait for the bridge to collapse, but will repair it carefully. Therefore, although the bridge is ancient, it is still intact. In 1987, due to the widening of the ancient canal, the bridge was moved from north to south across the ancient canal to its current state.

Near the water Pavilion

The pavilion near the water at the end of the lane is called near the water Pavilion. Because there is Wenheng bridge in the East, it was also called "Wenheng Pavilion" before. In ancient times, there was a Kuixing statue in the pavilion, so some people called it Kuixing Pavilion. As Changzhou is rich in culture, it seems that as soon as the passenger ships arrive, they will enter the capital of literati. It is said that Emperor Qianlong once boarded this pavilion. With the abolition of the imperial examination system, Wenheng Pavilion became a tea house for the citizens to enjoy their leisure. In the building, people can not only enjoy all kinds of tea, but also enjoy Suzhou Pingtan and Changzhou tanhuang. They can also eat all kinds of local famous snacks, which can be seen through the window See Zhenhe ancient house and sails.
