Some scholars call it "Venice in the south of Zhejiang".

survey

Linlong is located on the coast of the East China Sea, on the South Bank of the entrance section of Feiyun River, adjacent to ge Xiang in the East and Pingyang in the south, with a total area of 8.7 square kilometers. According to the records of provincial village annals, Linlong ancient temple village is located in the center of Xiehe River in the alluvial plain on the South Bank of the lower reaches of Feiyun River. More than 1800 years ago, the coast was shallow. Wu of the Three Kingdoms once built a shipbuilding center under Hengyu mountain in the south of this shallow area, named Hengyu chuantun. At that time, this shallow area could berth tens of thousands of ships, known as "ten thousand ships". Later, the shallow mud gradually deposited into land and became a water town with a network of rivers. "Ship" and "Quan" are homophonic, so "Wanchuan" is refined into "Wanquan". Up to now, there is still a local proverb that "sink the CE Zhou Cuan and rise the whole town". Here, you can see Haikou from a high altitude, look back on the winding of the island, pay attention to the relics of the ancient boat farms, and imagine the victory of ten thousand boats in the Three Kingdoms period.

[Landscape overview]

Linlong is an ancient town of water. Water is the soul and blood of Linlong. The total area of Linlong is 8.7 square kilometers, including 1.9 square kilometers of rivers and 800 mu of ponds. The rivers here are densely distributed, with dozens of rivers running around the town, and the water quality is clear and beautiful. It is composed of dozens of small and medium-sized rivers and continents, with more than 300 bridges, bridges connecting the continents and several lakes. The ratio of river area to land area is 1:3. For thousands of years, the dwellings here have been built near the river and the bridge. The twists and turns of the river add to Lin Long's graceful posture, revealing the lingering charm of the water town. On both sides of the river are evergreen green lawns, green really lovely. The stone bridges of different sizes and shapes crisscross the river bank, just like the hair ornaments on the head of a pure girl. They are pure and beautiful, but not exaggerated and artificial. Lush weeds and colorful shadows of trees, reflecting the wavy scales with fine lines, can be said to be beyond the charm of pictures and music. There is nothing more harmonious and symmetrical than this. There are many river ports on both sides of the river near the residential houses. When the residents on both sides wash by the river, they chat and joke with each other. They say that laughter rippled with the scale of the river, reflecting the plain folk custom of Lin long. The river is more than that. If you linger in a boat and wander in the alleys, you can appreciate the purity and calmness of the place and feel the beauty of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In ancient times, almost every villager had a boat to go between the branches of the river, thus forming the water characteristics of many rivers, bridges and boats, known as "Venice in southern Zhejiang". It is rich in soil and fertile in land, and the rivers are all over like cobwebs. It is convenient for irrigation and suitable for planting rice. Rice is hot twice a year. During the Qing Dynasty, it was one of the granaries in the southeast of Ruian. The eastern part of Linlong is less than 8 kilometers away from the coast. The seafood goes on the market with the tide. In addition, the inland river is rich in fish, shrimp, crabs and other aquatic resources. Most of the nearby fish and rice are distributed here, forming a market. At the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a small street, which was built near the water, less than 200 meters long. The eaves on both sides were connected, leaving a line of skyline. There were many shops along the street, and the merchants gathered and scattered every day. In ancient times, it was the wanquanlong business center, which is still preserved today. In addition, there are a large number of unique Ming and Qing Dynasties Jiangnan Water residential buildings with high development and utilization value.

[water culture park]

The water culture park was built in 1997 to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Jin Rongxuan, a famous educator in southern Zhejiang.

The park is open. There are vast fields in the East and north of the park. There is a wide and flat forest Pavilion Road between the fields and the park in the north, so the traffic is very convenient. On both sides of the West and the south is the clear and broad xiaze lake. It is said that the lake is actually a river. Because the river is very deep, it is called the lake. The park is surrounded by vast fields and clear river, with a strong rural flavor. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the flying dust, there is more tranquility and freshness.

The park has a beautiful environment. There are more than ten different gardening areas in the park, with a wide green area and fresh air. On both sides of the park is the river. There is a stone bridge on the river, which twists and turns into nine bends and extends to the center of the river, so it is called Jiuqu bridge. At the end of the bridge is a simple and beautiful Pavilion in the center of the lake. The pavilion and the park are facing each other from afar, which has a unique taste.

Not long ago, the government allocated funds to set up some fitness equipment in the park to promote national fitness activities, which reflects the spiritual civilization of the ancient town.

Lake Pavilion

Huxin Pavilion is located in the west of Linlong Cultural Park. There is a zigzag Jiuqu bridge leading to Huxin Pavilion. Huxin Pavilion is also called "xiaze Pavilion" because of the name of the lake. It was built in the same year as the cultural park. The pavilion is hexagonal and its top is supported by six columns. On the outside of the two pillars facing the bridge, there is a poem written by Mr. Lin long and Mr. Xie Jixuan

"Xia falls, Fu flies, water and sky share the same color, Ze deep, carp leaps, I am happy to forget to return." This poem is a good description of Lin Long's intoxicating beauty. On the inside of the six columns, there is also a poem saying: near the entrance of the pavilion, the scenery is natural, and the south wind makes the guests drunk. The rising sun adds splendor to the Golden River and mountains, and the lights shine on the night. By the lakeside, the willows are turning into willows, singing and dancing, and forgetting to return home.

When you are in the pavilion, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery around you. In the middle of the pavilion, there is a stone table and four stone benches. On the table, there are carved Chinese chess patterns. There are often groups of old people coming together to learn chess skills. People in the water town play chess, drink tea and chat here. They live a quiet, leisurely and happy life.

[Yixian Street]

This traditional water street is called Linlong street and wanquanlong business center in ancient times. This first-line street did not exist at the beginning, but gradually formed spontaneously and unconsciously. Linlong was a very prosperous village in ancient times. Linlong street was built next to the water. The eaves on both sides were connected, leaving a line of sky. Shops line up along the street, and vendors gather and disperse. People in Linlong and its surrounding areas will go to Linlong street to buy what they need during the Spring Festival, wedding and funeral. There are almost everything here, whether it's food, clothing, use or play, whether it's daily necessities or gifts. Fearing that their business might not be as good as that of others, the vendors tried their best to move their eaves out and their counters in. Due to the imperfection of the land management system and the unclear responsibility at that time, there was no one to stop the phenomenon of private occupation of land. As a result, you have to enter ten inches at a foot, until the eaves on both sides of the street are touching each other. Since then, looking up at the sky in the street, there is only a long gap left, so it is called "Yixian Street". According to the memories of some local elders, in about the fifth year of the Republic of China, there was a big fire that burned the first line street from the south to the north, leaving only a piece of ashes. Later, the merchants rebuilt it, retaining the original style of the first line street.

Since the formation of Yixian street, every rainy day, the rain drops directly from the cracks between the eaves. It looks like a long bead curtain, dripping to the ground, also like a straight line. In such a street, whether it's hot summer or torrential rain, there is no need to take an umbrella, so that people can easily shop in such weather.

[Xie's memorial archway]

Memorial archway is also a major feature of Lin Xun. The first is Xie's memorial archway, which has three national pillars and is made of stone. Its width is 6.94m, width is 3.25m, height is 5m, width is 1.7m, height is 4.5m, column diameter is 40 × 40cm.

There are sculptures on both sides of the archway. In the Ming Dynasty, the inscription "for the wife of the old Confucian Xie Zhengli, Chen Shi Li" was engraved in the upper forehead square, and the two sides were the same. On the front of the skirt, the words "Jiexiao" and "Jiaqing 22nd year old times" are engraved, while on the north, the words "Jiexiao" are engraved. On the front of the lower forehead Fang, two dragons are carved to grab pearls, and on the north, Kui dragon is carved. In the second room, the front of the forehead Fang is embossed with double lions playing ball, and the back is embossed with flowers. In the Ming Dynasty, there were stone kisses on the back of each room. There are reliefs and floor carvings on the skirt board, figures in the reliefs, Ruyi flowers and twigs in the carvings.

According to Xie's genealogy, Xie Zhengli married Sanfang, Dafang Chou, Erfang song and Sanfang Chen. When Chen was 25 years old, his husband Xie Zhengli died. Since then, the young Chen family has been widowed in her husband's family. On weekdays, she was filial to her elders and devoted to teaching her children. She also scrupulously abided by chastity and did not marry another family until she died. She strictly abided by the feudal ethics of "a good woman does not marry a second husband" at that time and had a good reputation in the local area. On October 24, the sixth year of Jiaqing, the governor of Zhejiang Province heard about this man's deeds, which proved to be effective. As the emperor, the emperor ordered to build a memorial archway here, setting an example for the villagers and spreading it to future generations. The archway was built in the year of Jiaqing.

According to folklore, when the archway was first built, it was one-sided, facing south and facing north. Later, some people said that the back of the imperial archway facing the road would be suspected of "violating the imperial edict", so they asked someone to seal the back of the archway overnight, and the characters and patterns were similar to the front. Therefore, there are sculptures on both sides of Xie's memorial archway.
