The blue stone slab road, Qianqian ridge up. With the impression of the black and white ink in the book, on this spring day, I came to Tongli, where "there are many small bridges in the water lanes, and everyone sleeps on the river", exploring the ancient and secluded in the thousand-year-old water town, and making a spiritual release. Walk into the ancient town, walk slowly on the bluestone paved streets of the ancient town, on one side is the whitewashed wall and tile dwellings, on the other side is the river port made of stone strips, the white wall of Daiwa, the stone level of the river port, it is clearly the familiar picture on the stamp of "Wujiang Tongli". Walking on the ancient streets of the Ming and Qing dynasties, small bridges and flowing water, red lights hanging high, and the ink colors in the same place, accompanied by Wu Nong's soft words, and babbling Jiangnan tunes, are quietly revealed. Stepping into the retreat garden that was built in the eleventh year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, although the garden is small, it is elegant and beautiful, and the idea is ingenious. The painting boat in the park echoes the "Xiangzhou" of the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, creating a straight and refined beauty with its three-sided space and open water. Tongli Ancient Town
The "mushroom rain and cool" Xuan in the park is also very distinctive, the Xuan has a mirror inside, the railing, the long window, and the half wall in the garden are all in the mirror, and the sunlight irradiates the pool water, under the mirror reflection, it seems to be true and illusory and dreamy, and the "Moon to the Wind Pavilion" of Suzhou Master of Nets Garden has the same magic.
At a glance, I saw that there were all kinds of "Tongli Scenery" postage cards in the glass counter of a shop on the side of the small street, and I asked that there were "Tongli Ancient Town", "Retreat Garden", "Three Bridges" and other scenery stamps, so I quickly paid for a set of stamps, and sent them to friends after stamping the postage map with the scenery stamps. The "Xiangzhou" in the Humble Administrator's Garden and the "Moon to the Wind Pavilion" in the Master-of-Nets Garden can be seen on the stamps, and the only retreat garden in the ancient water town that is included in the World Heritage List can also be seen on the small stamps. Like other ancient towns, the small river in Tongli is also narrow, and the stone revetment of the small river is also inlaid with a piece of cable boat stones, among which a few pieces seem to be particularly familiar, and they are clearly the few cable boat stones that are often photographed as **. Along the waterway, take a flat boat, leisurely cross the Dechun Bridge, row into the depths of the water lane with three waves, enter the hinterland of the ancient town, and come to the famous "Three Bridges". The quaint Taiping Bridge, Jili Bridge and Changqing Bridge face each other across the river, with a three-legged momentum across the green waves of the clear waves, stretching the ancient folk culture of Wu - walking on the three bridges, the breadth and profundity of Wu culture, amazing. Tongli seems to be made of water, crystal clear, beautiful and simple, beautiful and beautiful, beautiful and profound.
Walking in the streets and alleys of Tongli at will, there are always surprises. The same li made of water gives me a reverie of the past, which is fascinating and intoxicating.
