It is a standard water city. On the old map, there are 18 Wang, nearly 100 water streets and lanes, and the density of water network exceeds that of Suzhou ancient city. Emperor Kangxi once praised Taierzhuang as "the scenery is like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River".

Taierzhuang section of the ancient canal city has become the most intact ancient canal section. The Taierzhuang Canal, with a total length of 42.5 kilometers, is the only section of the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that flows completely from east to west. Taierzhuang is also the only canal section on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that has preserved hydraulic relics such as ancient docks and ancient revetments. In the ancient city of Taierzhuang, a winding river and a 3-kilometer-long ancient canal are called "living ancient canal" by the World Tourism Organization with beautiful ancient streets and rich life atmosphere. The canal north of Zaozhuang has been completely suspended, most of the relics have basically disappeared, and even the river course can't be found; Yuncheng, south of Zaozhuang, has been unable to restore the original appearance of the Millennium Canal after modern urban transformation. In this way, Taierzhuang in Zaozhuang City has naturally become the only city that can completely restore the original appearance of the ancient canal city. Zaozhuang City was also listed as one of the cities applying for World Heritage in 18 by National Cultural Heritage Administration.

Taierzhuang Ancient City is the core area of "Canal Ancient City", where there is an ancient village "Xianfu Village" which can best reflect the living characteristics of residents along the canal in Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are still a lot of ancient streets and buildings in this city. There are still relatively complete hydraulic relics on the canal, such as bank protection, dikes and sluices.

Ancient channel: The channel of the ancient canal in Ming and Qing Dynasties (Taierzhuang ancient city section) was originally a natural channel, which was dredged and widened in the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (160 1) and became a section of the Chanhe River (that is, the new channel from Peixian to Pizhou section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal). 1959, after the old channel of Taierzhuang section is cut straight, this section remains in the urban area. Because of its crescent shape, it is also called "Moon River". The river is 3.3 kilometers long and 50-90 meters wide. Up to now, there are still 200 meters of ancient revetment and 12 ancient wharf along the coast, which was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 2006.

Ancient revetment: built along the banks of Taierzhuang section of Weihe River, with a total length of 960m in one direction. On the south bank, there is a soil revetment and a fiber road site. In the autumn of the forty-eighth year of Qianlong (1783), the north bank was changed to water-stone revetment, which was built with stone strips and completed in the spring of the following year.

Ancient pier: In ancient times, the pier was also called "Shuici". From Ximenli to Xiaonanmen, Taierzhuang has successively built Dangdian Hou, Gaojia (West), Wan Siwei, Jia Zhu, Yan Jia, Jia Peng, Gaojia (East), Yu Jia, Shuangxiang (Yuanjia), Wang Gongqiao, Luojia (North) and Luojia (North). In March of the 46th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1707), the holy father of Qing Dynasty made a southern tour, and "he entered Shitai Village once, when six or seven hundred people presented poems and 21 volumes of poems". Before the reconstruction of the ancient city, seven wharves, such as Yan Jia, Yu Jia, Wang Gongqiao, Luojia (South), Xie Jia, Huojia (Second Yamen) and Wang Jia (Xiaonanmen), were still in use, while five wharves, such as Houdian Wharf, Gaojia (West), 400,000 Wharf, Jia Peng Wharf and Shuangxiang Wharf, were reserved, which can be called the only Ming and Qing wharves along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. After the renovation project of the ancient city started, three wharves, Xie Jia, Huojia (Second Yamen) and Wang Jia (Xiaonanmen), were repaired, and two wharves, Gaojia (East) and Jia Zhu, were rebuilt at the original site.

Ancient Watergate: Taierzhuang was a grange of Chu State during the Warring States Period and developed into a market town in the Han Dynasty. Taierzhuang was built in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. At that time, the scale was 5 Li from east to west and 3 Li from north to south. When the city wall was reinforced in the seventh year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (AD 1857), there were six city gates and one water gate. This water gate is a waterway leading to the ancient city. With this passage, the water street and water lane in the city are connected with the main channel of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The west gate next to the Watergate was once a temporary headquarters during the Taierzhuang War.

Ancient Ship Lock: Taizhuang Ship Lock, located on Hu Jia Yuannan Canal, was built in the thirty-second year of Wanli (1604). It's a bucket gate lock (single lock). Jinmen is 2 feet 3 inches wide, 2 feet 6 feet 4 inches high and 92 feet long (about 30 1 m today). Twenty-two years of Kangxi (1683), forty-five years of Kangxi (1706), nine years of Qianlong (1744), forty-eight years of Qianlong (1783) and four years of Jiaqing (1799). In the Qing Dynasty, there was a garrison building to the west of the ship lock, which was guarded by Taizhuang Sluice (under the canal camp of Jiangjun River Department). Its muzzle is a square with a side length of 20 cm and a gun hole. During the Republic of China, there was a pontoon bridge north and south of the sluice, and two railings were covered with wooden boards. When the water level is high, the back of the sluice is submerged, and when the water level is low, it is exposed. In the past, cargo ships were generally about 2.6 meters wide and had long hulls. The big one can carry 33 tons, and the small one can carry 4 to 5 tons. When the ancient city was rebuilt, the monument of "Rebuilding Taizhuangmen" was excavated for nine years (1744) and placed in the rebuilding gate. Taierzhuang is a typical city where North and South blend and East and West meet. Because it is located in the transitional zone between north and south, there is a big gap between canals, and merchants from all walks of life gather here to settle down and do business, bringing different cultures and becoming a typical representative of canal culture. Taierzhuang is a collection of eight architectural styles and five religions in the world, with more than 30 temples, which has formed a unique cultural feature of blending North and South and combining Chinese and Western cultures along the 3,000-mile Canal.

The original gene of Taierzhuang culture is Chu-Han culture. However, after the completion of the canal, Qin Jin culture in the north, Yanzhao culture in the south, Huaiyang culture and Wuyue culture in the south poured into Taierzhuang together, forming an inclusive and colorful canal culture. The religious culture of Taierzhuang is very developed. In addition to China's native beliefs, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism were introduced first, and more than 30 temples of various types were built. Folk literature and art have distinctive local characteristics, such as Liuqin Opera, Canal Flower Drum, Fishing Lantern Yangko, Canal Drum, Canal Chant, etc. , has been listed as intangible cultural heritage. Education is very prosperous. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the early years of the Republic of China, there were two academies, two free schools, two primary schools and two missionary schools, as well as 32 private schools.

According to relevant historical records, Taierzhuang in history has eight architectural styles and dozens of temples (temples, Wenchang Pavilion, Taoist Temple, Mother Temple of Mount Tai, Mazu Pavilion, Mosque, Christian Church, Catholic Church, etc. ), which is extremely rare in China. Taierzhuang is a water city in history, connected by the "King" Canal and inhabited by the "King". Very distinctive. It is an ancient water city with nearly 100 water streets and lanes. It is an ancient water city by boat.
