Who can tell the history of the Jinxiang moat?

The ancient city is full of spring. In the early morning when the wind and sun were beautiful, we went to Jinxiang, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Driving from Wenzhou city, Ningbo-Taizhou-Wenzhou Expressway passes through Longgang, and it only takes one and a half hours to reach Jinxiang. The first thing that unfolds in front of you is the moat that connects around the city in Jinxiang Township. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, today's moat seems calm and peaceful.

The river is wide and stable, the water quality is crystal clear, surrounded by weeping willows and lush shrubs, and the beautiful landscape and harmonious atmosphere attract passers-by to stop. On both sides of the moat are newly built stone railings, each railing is ingenious and finely carved with the history of Jinxiang Township, folk songs, legends, etc., walking around the moat, the cultural history of Jinxiang is already clear in the chest.

If you go inside, you will enter the center of the town, and you will be greeted by the harmonious blend of ancient and modern towns. All kinds of ancient wells, ancient buildings, ancient monuments, ancient bridges, etc. are very well preserved, and the ancient feelings are overflowing with people's hearts. Fengle Pavilion, located in the center of the intersection of East Street and South Street, was built in the Ming Dynasty and is a wooden building, with an octagonal upper floor and a gourd top, which is exquisite and elegant.

Kui Xing Pavilion located on the West Water Gate Cave has a history of more than 200 years from now, the whole building is divided into two layers, the top of the pavilion is overhanging, the river in front of the pavilion is wide, there is the statue of Kui Xing Ye who holds the Zhu pen in the hand, the foot of the fish, the pen point three yuan and four square talents, the image is lifelike, amusing reverie. Walking south, you will come to another famous historical and cultural site in Jinxiang Town——— Xima Bridge. The bridge is made of eight stone slabs and paved with seven holes in the piers, and there are 24 pairs of small stone lions carved on the stone railings on both sides of the bridge, with different shapes, and a pair of stone horses with extended necks and floating manes at the junction of the railings and the bridge deck at both ends.

According to the locals, the bridge was named after the soldiers who returned from the battlefield and drank horses and scrubbed them on the banks of Ganxi.

Passing through a group of historic sites with rich historical and cultural heritage, we climbed the Lion Mountain, which is located in the northeast of Jinxiang Township, and looked down on the town from a high vantage point. I saw that the whole town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountains are facing the sea outside, and the mountains and seas are circulating, and the southeast sea is dominant. The streets and alleys in the city are distinct in longitude and latitude, showing the layout of gossip and Qiankun, and the Lion Island and the Ball Mountain are majestic, and they are heroic.

Looking east, you'll see a sprawling industrial park in Jinxiang Township, which, unlike the old town, is full of modernity, with wide roads stretching across the road and trucks rushing back and forth. In the majestic green mountains, batches of modern standard factory buildings have risen from the ground, like dazzling pearls, inlaid in this vibrant land.

This is the unique charm of Jinxiang, which has both ancient buildings full of charm and magnificent high-rise buildings; There are not only idle and quiet green islands, but also bustling and lively commercial arteries. It can really be said that the new appearance of the ancient city reflects each other, and the beautiful beauty of Jinxiang looks at the present.

Khan, what are you doing with so many copies? The history of Jinxiang, alas. The moat was a river that prevented the enemy from entering the city. But now due to man-made problems, the river is not presentable, it is all dark and flickering.
