Nine rivers crisscross the ancient town area, dividing the ancient town into eight blocks, among which 27 ancient bridges connect the towns. In the long spring, summer, autumn and winter, sunshine, rain and snow years, the ancient town has always presented a changing painting of water town customs, in which "people are in the water, bridges are on the water, pedestrians are walking on the bridge, boats are walking under the bridge, shops are standing at the bridge head, and there are reflections in the water". Xitang is located in the water network. The residents here cherish the soil as much as gold. Whether it's a business company, a residential building or a building, they care about the area inch by inch, and the space between houses is minimized, thus forming more than 20 long narrow alleys with a length of more than 100 meters and a width of less than 1 meter, forming a number of "first days". At the same time, the names of streets and lanes vividly reflect the prosperity of commerce and the characteristics of ancient towns and lanes, such as Mixingdai, Dengzhu Street, Youche Lane, Chaitan Lane and Shipilong, which are directly related to the commerce and architecture of that year. In Xitang, the verandah built by the river is the most attractive. The streets here are built by the river, and the business of shops is also done by the river. In the past, farmers in water towns traveled by river instead of by boat, and many transactions could only be carried out on the shore of the boat. As a result, a special kind of building, the veranda shed, came into being. It connects rivers and shops, which can shelter from the wind and rain and be passed down from generation to generation. Humanistic (65,438+00) practical verandah is a unique building in the water town. The 1.300-meter-long veranda preserved in Xitang has become a leisure feast for contemporary people to enjoy the ancient and explore the secluded places. Xitang is in Tang, Xitang is in.

Villages and towns were formed in the Song Dynasty. By the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Xitang had developed into a prosperous market town by virtue of the land of plenty, the economic foundation of the Silk Road and the convenience of waterways. Kiln industry, rice market, food industry and ceramics industry are booming. Many ancient houses existing in the ancient town are the crystallization of the ancestors of the ancient town who became rich at that time. At the beginning, the passage of Xitang was mainly by waterway, and there was little external interference, so Xitang can perfectly preserve the ancient town so far and let the inheritance of ancestors continue. Xitang is a civilian town, everything is so simple, without the prosperity of Zhouzhuang, the richness of Nanxun and the strong commercial atmosphere! But the unique charm of Xitang intoxicated overnight travelers!
