Suzhou has a dense river network, and the urban area is the center of the water network in the south of the Yangtze River and the most densely populated area in China. Surrounded by China's famous rice producing areas, it has developed agriculture, and is known as "a water town and a country", "a granary in the world" and "a land of plenty".

It is rich in products and outstanding in people. Because of its prosperous culture and economy from ancient times to the present, it is known as "paradise on earth", "silk capital" and "garden city". It is also known as "Venice of the East" and "Oriental Water Capital (Oriental Water City)" because of its characteristics as an ancient town with small bridges and flowing water.

Today, Suzhou has become a "garden in the city" and a "city in the garden", where mountains, water, cities, forests, gardens and towns are integrated, and classical and modern, ancient rhyme and modern are perfectly combined to develop harmoniously. In 2004, the World Heritage Conference was successfully held.

In 2006, the third National Games was held. Third, the traffic situation Suzhou has had the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal running through it since ancient times.

Beijing-shanghai railway, 3 12, 204 and other national highways pass through Suzhou. Suzhou is surrounded by Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, Pudong Airport and Wuxi Shuofang Airport.

Suzhou is building a light rail in 2007. It is expected to be put into use around 20 12.

Its highway density has reached the level of Germany, and it is a highway transportation hub city awarded by the Ministry of Communications. [Edit this paragraph] 4. Historical and Cultural Suzhou was built in 5 14 BC, and He Lv, the father of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, ordered Wu Zixu, a rebel of Chu, to build He Lv City, which has a history of more than 2,500 years.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the capital of the State of Wu, and there are still many historical sites about history and Wu Zixu. Suzhou was called in the 9th year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (AD 589) and has been used ever since.

Suzhou was built earlier, with large scale, parallel land and water, and adjacent rivers and streets. The ancient city is still located on the original site, which is rare at home and abroad. Suzhou garden ranks first in the world and has been included in the world cultural heritage list. Among the four famous gardens in China, Suzhou occupies two seats: Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden. The profound cultural accumulation of Tiger Hill, the first scene in Wuzhong, makes it a must-see for tourists to visit Suzhou. A night-mooring near maple bridge, written by Zhang Ji, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, has attracted tourists from all over the world to visit Qiao Feng and listen to the bells of Hanshan Temple.

The natural scenery outside Gusu City is beautiful, and Lingyan Mountain, Tianping Mountain, Tianchi Mountain and Dongting Mountain are dotted on the shore of Taihu Lake, forming a beautiful landscape with Jiangnan style. Suzhou has not only the beauty of gardens, but also the victory of mountains and rivers. The natural and human landscapes complement each other, and the poets and poets compose poems, making Suzhou a veritable "paradise on earth".

Suzhou Garden is a "literati freehand landscape garden" with profound cultural heritage. Gardeners in ancient times all had high cultural accomplishment and were good at painting. When gardening, painting is the main theme, and poetry is the theme. By digging ponds, planting flowers and trees, poetic landscapes are created. They are called "silent poems, three-dimensional paintings".

Swimming in the garden is like enjoying poetry and painting. In order to express the taste, ideal and pursuit of the garden owner, there are poems and inscriptions such as plaques and couplets in garden buildings and landscapes, elegant lotus fragrance as a metaphor for personal character ("Yuanxiangtang" in my humble administrator's garden), elegant vanilla as a metaphor for noble temperament ("Xiangzhou" in my humble administrator's garden), and admiration for the ancients floating freely like boats (one yuan "Painting Fang Zhai")

These bookish poems and inscriptions are naturally and harmoniously integrated with the buildings, landscapes, flowers and trees in the garden, so that a mountain, a water, a grass and a tree in the garden have a far-reaching artistic conception, and you can get spiritual edification and beautiful enjoyment while wandering among them. Canglang Pavilion, Lion Forest, Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden represent Song (960~ 1278), Yuan (127 1~ 1368) and Ming (1368 ~/kloc) respectively.

Introduction to Venice: A city in northeast Italy, an important port on the northwest coast of Venice Bay in Adriatic Sea. The population is 343,000.

It is mainly built on a shallow beach 4 kilometers offshore, with an average water depth of 1.5 meters. It is connected with the land by railways and highways.

A bridge consisting of 1 18 small islands with 177 waterways and 40/kloc-0 boats is called "Water City". It was built in 452 AD.

In the eighth century, it was the trade center of the Adriatic Sea. /kloc-The city was founded in the 0/0 century. In the Middle Ages, it was one of the most prosperous trade centers in the Mediterranean.

After the opening of the new air route, the European commercial center gradually shifted to the Atlantic coast and declined. 1866 merged into the kingdom of Italy.

Industry and commerce are developed, including aluminum smelting, chemistry, coking, chemical fertilizer, oil refining, steel and other industries. It is famous for producing jewelry and jade crafts, glassware, floral leather products, lace and embroidery.

Marghella Port on land is an important oil port and passenger port. A famous tourist center with 3 million tourists every year.

The ancient St. Kyle Square is the activity center of the city, surrounded by Byzantine and Renaissance buildings such as cathedral and bell tower. Lido is a linear sandbar 2 kilometers offshore and the most famous bathing beach in Europe.

Venice is a beautiful water city, built in the most impossible place-water. The amorous feelings of Venice are always inseparable from "water", winding water lanes and flowing blue waves. It is like a romantic dream floating on the blue waves, and its poetry lingers for a long time. This city once had the most powerful manpower, material resources and strength in Europe.

The history of Venice began in 453 AD. At that time, farmers and fishermen in Venice turned to this Adriatic island to avoid the cool nomadic people who loved swords. Venice looks like a dolphin. Its urban area is less than 7.8 square kilometers, but it is composed of 1 18 small islands and 177 canals.

2. Introduction of Venice in the East-Suzhou

Song people have the reputation of "heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", while Suzhou is "the highest in southeast China with magnificent scenery"; During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became one of the national economic and cultural centers. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin praised Suzhou as "the most prosperous and romantic place in the world of mortals".

Suzhou gardens are the best in the world. Suzhou Garden is a comprehensive artwork of architecture, gardens, flowers and trees, sculpture, calligraphy and painting, which combines natural beauty and artistic beauty to form a tortuous picture.

There are 73 gardens in the city and 700 cultural relics protection units at all levels in Suzhou, including 34 national key cultural relics protection units. Jiangnan Garden ranks first in the world, and Suzhou Garden ranks first in Jiangnan. There are 73 well-preserved classical gardens in Suzhou, among which Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden are listed as the four famous gardens in China, and together with nine classical gardens such as Master Wang Garden, Huanxiu Mountain Villa, Canglang Pavilion, Lion Forest, Art Garden, Lovers Garden and Retreat Garden, they were held in1997 65438+February and 2000 65438+/kloc-respectively.

3. Composition began in Suzhou, Venice and the East.

Tomorrow my father will take me to Suzhou to play. I am so happy that I can't sleep tonight.

Tossing and turning in bed as if making pancakes. We set off before dawn the next day.

My father told me the general situation of Suzhou along the way. Suzhou is located in the Yangtze River Delta Plain in the southeast of Jiangsu Province, bordering Shanghai in the east, Zhejiang in the south, Taihu Lake in the west and the Yangtze River in the north.

Its history can be traced back to 6000 to 7000 years ago. Speaking of the characteristics of Suzhou city, it's basically ok. The general situation includes the "trinity", namely, the ancient city, the water town and the garden city, so it has been called "Venice of the East and the Garden of the South of the Yangtze River" since ancient times.

Its main attractions are Canglang Pavilion in Song Dynasty, Netscape Garden in Yuan Dynasty, Lion Forest, Humble Administrator's Garden in Ming Dynasty, Liuyuan Garden, Yiyuan Garden in Qing Dynasty, Couple Garden, Crane Garden, Huanxiu Mountain Villa, Tiger Hill, Hanshan Temple, Tianping Mountain, Lingyan Mountain, etc ... At this moment, Suzhou arrived, and our first stop was Tiger Hill. From Qili Mountain Hall to Tiger Hill.

After the lively Shantang Street, we came to Haimen Haiyong Bridge in Huqiu. As the saying goes, "the mountain is not high, but the fairy is not famous." Fiona Fang Scenic Area covers an area of 230 mu, with the highest point only 34 meters above sea level.

However, there are more than 50 landscapes, large and small! Entering the mountain gate, the tiger hill in front of us has entered our eyes, that is, the tiger tail. The gate we just passed is Tiger Head, the two ancient wells at the gate are tiger eyes, the symmetrical eight-character retaining wall is ears, the stone steps near Shantang River are teeth, the wall on the other side is lips, and the broken beam hall in front is throat. The whole mountain is like the body of a tiger ... Walking on the mountain road, we visited a charming scenic spot.

This mountain road, which is about tens of meters long, is dotted with places of interest such as Hanhan Spring, Sword Trial Stone, Pillow Thinking, Xiantao Stone and Mother's Tomb, which makes you dazzled and beautiful. Through a circular portal, we came to the most beautiful place in Tiger Hill-Jianchi.

Surrounded by stone walls, there is a sense of adventure and bleak weather. A long and narrow pool, slightly wider in the south and narrower in the north, looks like a sword, and the water in the pool is clear and sweet. The Tang Dynasty was once rated as "the fifth spring in the world".

In front of the cliff, there is the word "Fenggu Yunquan", and on the right wall, there is the word "Jianchi", which is said to be the handwriting of Wang Xizhi, a book sage. Go west through Shuangqiao, then go north through Xuelang Pavilion and come to Tiger Hill.

I saw the Tiger Hill in the middle of the tower garden. The tower looks a little old, but it is still vigorous and charming. As we all know, there is a world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, and Tiger Hill was built more than 400 years earlier than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, so it is called "Leaning Tower of the East".

Unconsciously, the day has passed, and it's time for us to go home. In the car, I think Tiger Hill has not only the strength of mountains, but also the softness of water.

Finally, I want to use two poems of the ancients to evaluate our trip to Tiger Hill today: I have traveled all over the world all my life, and I have only traveled to Tiger Hill tirelessly.

4. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Suzhou, which is called Venice of the East. Please master the characteristics of Suzhou ships and imitate the text.

Venice of the East refers to Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, which is known as "Venice of the East" and "Oriental Water City" because of its characteristics as an ancient water town with small bridges and flowing water.

The dinghy in Venice in the East refers to the awning boat. Wupengchuan-the life flowing in the water town Wupengchuan is a unique means of transportation in Shaoxing, a water town, and is named after its canopy is painted black.

800 years ago, Mr. Lu You said it was "eight-foot canoe with three low canopies". Wupengchuan has a narrow hull and the bottom is covered with wooden boards. Even if there is a leak, the engine room will not be damp.

The board is covered with straw mats. You can sit or lie down at will, but you can't stand upright. Because the canopy is low, if it stands upright, it will lose its balance and capsize. The power of the awning boat depends on the paddle.

The rower sits at the back end, holding the paddle in one hand and putting his feet at the end of the paddle handle. As soon as his legs extend and retract, the paddle will hit the water up and down at a speed of more than 10 km per hour. The course of this ship is controlled by hand-paddles. When the boat moves, the boatman uses his feet and hands.

Sometimes the boatman will put the paddle used as a rudder under his arm, and his hands are empty. During the fast sailing of the canoe, he can taste a bowl of wine with a black felt hat on his head. In fact, the Wu Peng boat in Shaoxing not only uses this kind of foot to row, but also has Wu Peng boat the size of a small painting boat. The hull is carved with patterns and patterns, and the bow is carved with animals with the image of a tiger head (a kind of waterfowl). They seem to be smiling, which is very interesting.

Folklore: When dragons meet and avoid them, they can sail safely. This kind of covered boat has a relatively high hull, the height of the covered boat can make people stand upright, and the cabin width can be used as tables and chairs for tourists to play cards and hold banquets at a high speed.

In "The True Story of Ah Q", it is such an awning boat, which depicts the master Juren carrying his family wealth from the city to Zhaofu Shelter in Wei Zhuang. One of these big ships is called "Mingwa Ship".

Among them, Sanming tile is a semi-circular canopy installed between two fixed canopies of the ship. On the wooden lattices of the three awnings, pieces of one-inch square seaweed oyster shells are embedded, which are waterproof and light-permeable. This is called Mingwa. When Lu Xun was a child, he took this "three-tile window ship" to Dongguan to watch the cabin meeting.

Lu Xun also mentioned "the literati's wine boat", commonly known as "Sophie". There are two "stone piers" at the bow to hold the ship down so as not to affect the speed when sailing. Bamboo chairs and benches can be placed in the boat, and passengers can sit and lie down.

In the past, these covered boats were mostly used by a few bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen for sightseeing, grave-sweeping, wedding reception and theatre, which was somewhat jealous. Mr. Zhou Zuoren's "Wu Pengchuan" is described in detail: the canopy is semicircular, woven with bamboo pieces, with a bamboo raft in the middle and black oil on it; There is a sunshade between the two "fixed tents", which is also semicircular. There are small fish scales embedded in the wood, which are about one inch in diameter, quite transparent, slightly like glass and durable, and are called Mingwa.

Shaoxing is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water town is naturally the world of boats. Ships in Wu Peng either sail or berth, sailing briskly and berthing gracefully. Whether it is individual or group, individual is unique and group is huge. Wupengchuan is the spirit and scenery of water town.

5. Composition "Oriental Watertown"

Suzhou, a water city called Venice of the East, is my hometown. It has a dense water network, a moat inside and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal outside!

Suzhou's water has created Suzhou people's aura. Suzhou people have created four famous gardens with hard-working hands, namely Humble Administrator's Garden, Master of Nets Garden, Lion Forest and Lingering Garden. There are lush trees, painted tiles and ponds in the park. There are rockeries and peach blossoms by the pond, which makes every tourist reluctant to go! In the pond, there is a red and white lotus flower standing gracefully on the water. The green lotus leaf is like a big jade plate, which makes the lotus flower more beautiful. Fish playing among the lotus leaves reminds me of "fish playing lotus leaf east, fish playing lotus leaf west, fish playing lotus leaf south and fish playing lotus leaf north." This poem.

Wu Nong's soft Suzhou dialect is a profound precipitation of our Suzhou history and culture for more than 2500 years. "DuDu, a sugar porridge seller, three catties of walnuts, four or two shells ..." "Shake, shake to Waipoqiao, grandma calls me a good baby ..." The wonderful Suzhou nursery rhymes echoed in my ears again. Now many new Suzhou people are still learning our Suzhou dialect in their spare time!

Reiki Suzhou people have created amazing silk quilts and scarves; Jiaozi sugar from Caizhizhai; Huang Tianyuan's rice cakes; A sesame cake with leaves; Jingjing brand marinated tofu is widely favored by Chinese and foreign tourists ... every time foreign tourists come to Suzhou, they don't forget to bring some back!

Suzhou, a water city, a paradise on earth, my home!

Suzhou is known as "Venice of the East". How is it different from Venice?

Suzhou and Venice are similar in many places, which may be the main reason why they become twin cities.

Venice is not only in Italy, but also a fascinating tourist destination in the world. It is the capital of water and the only city in the world where cars can't pass.

Water is connected to water, and the bridge is connected to the ground. There are 400 bridges in Venice.

Suzhou is also a famous water city with many natural bridges. I haven't asked how many bridges there are in Suzhou, but the streets are almost full of winding water lanes with different widths. Open the door, there is water, a bridge and a boat.

Among many places of interest in Venice, the most noteworthy is the Plaza San Kyle, which is known as "the most beautiful square in the world". It is said that after Napoleon invaded Venice in 1797, he was drooling over the scenery here and ordered the governor's office next to the square to be changed into a palace, which is still called Napoleon Palace.

Suzhou also has many places of interest, especially the beauty of gardens. The most famous are Canglang Pavilion, Lion Forest, Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden.

I've only been to the lion forest. This is a garden as beautiful as the Grand View Garden of A Dream of Red Mansions.

Gardens, pavilions, cloisters, ponds, rockeries and exotic flowers and grasses are all available in the garden. I've been here for more than two hours, only about one, which shows the size of the garden.

Apart from gardens, historical sites are the most beautiful. Hanshan Temple is a scenic spot worth mentioning.

Hanshan Temple, formerly known as Miaoliping Pagoda, was built in the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties (502-5 19). According to legend, two monks, Hanshan and She, lived here in the Tang Dynasty, so they were renamed Hanshan Temple.

Zhang Ji's poem "a night-mooring near maple bridge" made this place famous. In addition, Suzhou dialect and misty rain are unforgettable.

Suzhou people speak very softly, with clear pronunciation and mellow voice, which is particularly pleasant to hear, especially women have a strong sense of music and are very pleasing to the ear. The rainy days in Suzhou are very charming.

It rains almost every day in the rainy season, but it doesn't rain much, gently, finely and densely, like a ray of light. When it rains, pedestrians with umbrellas of all colors walk in a hurry in the drizzle, just like a splash-ink "rain scene map", which reminds you of the infinite reverie of Jiangnan.

This memory has been in my mind for more than fifty years. Looking back now, it seems that the bells of Hanshan Temple are still ringing in my ears ... Suzhou is still a typical "land of abundance" because of its unique geographical location.

Rich products not only meet people's daily needs, but also make people sigh that in this "land of fish and rice", "people live in paintings and people live in the world of scrolls to travel". Suzhou is also a typical water city with the reputation of "Venice of the East".

Suzhou is also known as the "hometown of brocade rust". The silk and brocade produced here have been famous since ancient times. Suzhou embroidery, which is equally famous as silk, is one of the four famous embroideries in China.

They are all traditional famous products unique to Suzhou and sell well at home and abroad. Suzhou local traditional culture and art are prosperous and splendid.

Kunqu Opera, known as the "King of Hundred Dramas", originated in Suzhou. Suzhou Pingtan is one of the four schools in China, which integrates speaking, speaking, playing and singing.

Jiangnan silk and bamboo, with elegant and fresh style and smooth and beautiful tune, is very Jiangnan color. Wu Ge is a folk art form that can sing and recite, and has a strong Suzhou water town style.

Suzhou local traditional products are various and unique, and gradually formed a series of Suzhou local products marked by the word "Su". Such as Su-style dishes, Su-style cakes, Su-style sweets, Su embroidery, Su Zhuo and Su Fan. On the other hand, it reflects the rich and colorful Suzhou culture with a long history.

Corresponding to the characteristics of the ancient city and water town, Suzhou has also developed and built a modern new city, and the "True Mountain and Water Garden in the City" and the "Landscape Garden in the City" set each other off. The rapid development of Suzhou's economic construction has created better and better tourism conditions and environment for more and more Chinese and foreign tourists.

China's water city is called "Venice of the East", which is really a great honor for our country. Today, Venice, Italy, with its unique characteristics of water town, exudes endless charm, making Venice at least a million tourists flow every day.

Water has added wealth and blessings to the Italian people. Venice, a famous water town, has at least one million tourists every day.

Tourists, like fish, are crowded on dry banks or squares. The livelihood of Venice seems to be designed for tourists from all over the world.

If you want to choose a city that makes tourism the most commercialized and profitable, it is really Venice. Venice's huge maze is full of water. There are 1 17 small islands and 150 waterways. If you are not afraid of going up and down, you can try the less convenient 400 bridge.

Venice is like the largest maze in the world, only it is full of water. Perhaps some people still don't know that Venice's "water" actually saved Venice.

It was after the collapse of the Roman Empire that the Germanic peoples who invaded Europe continued to invade in all directions. At that time, many people who fled the city-state fled to this estuary and established this city separated by water in order to survive. Water towns are most suitable for people to see their true colors when they are resting, whether it is Zhouzhuang in Kunshan, Jiangsu, Xitang, Wuzhen and Nanxun in Zhejiang, or Venice in Italy.

Jiangnan water town is an ink painting, and Venice water town in Italy is a colorful watercolor painting. Jiangnan water town is exquisite and delicate, and Venice water town in Italy is majestic and quiet; If the Jiangnan water town purifies people's hearts with soft cotton wool, then the bell on the top of the Italian water city makes people feel quiet. Venice is actually an island city on the Adriatic Sea, with an area of only 8.9 square kilometers. Compared with the sea, Venice can only be regarded as a tiny place.

In order to save labor and facilitate transportation, many seawater rivers have been dug horizontally and vertically on the island. Residents live by the river, and business is by the river. There are many boats, bridges and water lanes. Their unique beauty of waterscape is that they are spacious outside and quiet inside, so they are famous for their water city. Same: First, they all have a long history and culture.

Second, water has played an important role in local economic development. Third, it is the birthplace of modern commerce and capitalism. Fourth, it is called a water town because of the confluence of rivers in the city. Differences: First, the cultural background is different, which is the fundamental difference between Chinese and western cultures.

Second, the urban positioning is different.

7. Introduction of Venice in the East-Suzhou

Suzhou, a city in China, was called Wu in ancient times, and now it is called Su for short. There are many ancient names and nicknames such as Gusu, Wudu, Wuzhong, Soochow, Wumen and Heping River.
