What is the city like Suzhou?

"Jiangnan" is a paradise in the eyes of China people, and the paradise is in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Suzhou has a warm climate, neither too cold nor too hot, a vast territory and abundant resources, four seasons in Changshu, no drought or waterlogging, and well-off households. Sunbathing in the alley, drinking "Biluochun" and listening to a piece of pingtan are quite pleasant! So comfortable, why bother, rush in? Nothing can compare with Suzhou! So Suzhou people lack a kind of ferocity and don't want to do anything special. There are many talents in history, but there are no emperors. This gentle personality of Suzhou people has shaped the temperament of this city: warm and peaceful, small and exquisite, giving people peace and comfort.

Suzhou is a water city. Suzhou is located in the area with the most abundant rainfall in China, with continuous rain in spring and summer, which is the biggest productivity in the agricultural era. At the same time, the Taihu plain is low and flat, and the rainfall is collected into a lake. The water area of the city accounts for 42.5% of the total area. Taihu Lake, Yangcheng Lake, Dianshan Lake, Jinji Lake and Puppet Lake are all over the city, and rivers in the ancient city crisscross. Until the 1990s, the main mode of transportation between urban and rural areas in Suzhou was still boat. "When you visit Suzhou, people will sleep on the river", and towns and houses are built on the river. What is real?

Apart from the light rain in Huangmei, the rise and fall of this city is closely related to Taihu Lake and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The Grand Canal in the Tang Dynasty was the only "high-speed rail" in ancient times and the lifeblood of the whole dynasty. From Yang Di to Kangxi Qianlong and Xiajiangnan, they all came to dredge canals and supervise money and grain. The Grand Canal has brought endless wealth and talents to Suzhou. Before the Republic of China, Suzhou was the economic center of the whole south of the Yangtze River, and the political centers were Jiankang and Lin 'an. With the rise of railways and shipping, the role of the Grand Canal has weakened, and Shanghai, which has both maritime and railway power, has replaced Suzhou.

Suzhou is a city with a history. Wuqiuqiao, Lilac Lane, Taohuawu and Caixiangjing are all beautiful names that make you feel like a literary fan. Suzhou Chongwen: From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, almost all northern literati moved to the south of the Yangtze River. In the Qing Dynasty, there were 26 top scholars in Suzhou, accounting for15 in China, and 120 scholars in Suzhou Academy, accounting for10 in China. It is a veritable "hometown of academicians". Suzhou people are poetic, gentle, charming and charming. Wu Shang, Suzhou: During the Spring and Autumn Period, He Lv, King of Wu, established his capital here. Sun Wu, a Qi man, and Wu Zixu, a Chu man, led barbarians into the Central Plains to cross the river, just like Vietnamese people crossing the river by drinking horses. Zhuan Xu stabbed Liao Wang to death with an iron frame, and five people betrayed the former America.
