枫泾应该是你世博之旅中的必赴之约。 枫泾地处上海西南,距万人瞩目的上海世博园区约40分钟车程,为中国历史文化名镇,被誉为上海最美的地方之一。 历史上的枫泾,因地处吴越交汇之处,素有吴越名镇之称;如今,她与沪浙五区县(市)(金山、松江、青浦、嘉善、平湖)交界,是上海通往西南各省最重要的“西南门户”。
上海世博会开幕倒计时一百天之际,古镇枫泾荣膺“新沪上八景”,经游客和公众评选产生的“枫泾三桥”、“枫溪长廊”、“桥庙得泉”、“溪北人家”、“泽园留春”、“栅南水长”、“吴越界韵”、“三元及第”、“古杏涟画”、“深弄闻音”等十个景点,被沪上旅游业界专家最后评定为枫泾十景。其中,中国江南吴越文化标志性景观“吴越界韵”成为十景中的高光点。
有着深厚吴越文化底蕴的枫泾古镇,成市于宋,建镇于元,地跨吴越两界,元末明初时便被列为江南四大名镇之一,至今保存完好。
近年来,得天独厚的江南水乡风情和吴越古镇风貌,已令枫泾成为中外游客乐于前往的观光小镇,而每年在此举行的“吴越水乡婚典”也已成为上海旅游节的经典品牌。此次获评枫泾十景的“吴越界韵”就位于古镇中部,明宣德五年即1430年,被官定为分属江浙的南北二镇的界河。
枫泾文化发达,是蜚声中外的金山农民画的发源地。枫泾的蓝印花布、家具雕刻、灶壁画、花灯、剪纸、绣花、编织等民间艺术源远流长。以枫泾农民画家为主的金山农民创作出了乡土气息浓郁、艺术风格独特的金山农民画,在海内外产生了广泛的影响。镇内的画馆名画家祖居也多,和平街上程十发祖居已经修复开放。北大街的丁聪漫画陈列馆设在二层中西式建筑内,楼前一棵古银杏,一丛大芭。馆内陈列了丁聪生平和一百多幅漫画,幽默的画风常让人驻足留连。南大街圣堂弄的金山农民画展示中心就在清代状元蔡以台的读书楼内,尽得清雅,一幅幅画面却透露出浓郁的乡土气息。农民画与丁聪的漫画、程十发的国画和顾水如的围棋,这些在国内外都具有相当地影响的“三画一棋”,集中于枫泾一镇,是国内罕见的一种地域文化现象。
北大街是商业古街风貌保存最完整的大街。穿过街道石街坊,行走在平整的板路上,一眼望去,窄窄的街道两边都是两层楼房,身处其中,抬头望天,只能看见窄窄的一线天,一扇扇木格窗露出原木本色。楼房临街的一边清一色都呈平面结构,看不出每一栋建筑的特色和规模,而从后门的市河望去,家家房子都枝出河面,或重檐叠瓦,或骑楼高耸,或勾栏亭阁,或近水楼台,层层石级通向河埠,或倚朱阁、小轩窗,组成一道多姿的水乡民居风光,间或有大大小小的江南游船穿行其中,人景辉映,夕阳夕照,真是中国的水乡,东方的威尼斯。
枫泾古镇景区里最有名的当属小巧玲珑、构筑典雅的枫泾三桥。清风桥、竹行桥、北丰桥,三桥相连,连接河岸茶楼、长廊,串起众多的景观。三桥景区的两岸,老屋河埠、石桥流水,呈现出浓厚的古色古香味道。
虽然各处都在叫卖的枫泾丁蹄让人想到附近的周庄,不过古镇的商业气息不是特别重,沿河的棚廊一条街里还能看到老阿婆宰鱼淘米的生活景象。当地特产的黄酒、天香豆腐干和状元糕一定记得要品尝,或者找到廊棚里那家有名的“唔奴喔哩”餐厅(上海话“我的家”),点几碟马兰、花生就着黄酒喝。
有“三步两座桥,一望十条港”之称的上海枫泾镇为典型的江南水乡集镇,沿河古街绿树成荫,古镇水巷幽静,且遍植荷花,清雅秀美。古镇的大部分人家沿河建房。河道上船只往来,购物十分方便。镇区内河道纵横,桥梁众多。至清末,全镇桥梁有52座之多,现在还保留了十多座,历史最悠久的是南大街旁的致和桥,建于元代,古朴苍劲,桥身石缝长出了青苔,两头桥堍下都筑有石阶水码头。从桥上望去,两岸绿树翠丛、古屋河埠,前有虹桥平卧,后有石桥横跨,处处小桥流水人家。
世博会作为世界的宠儿,从来就不缺少“惊艳”,就像上海从不缺少繁华。而枫泾,从不缺少惊喜和古韵!
枫泾,世博另一场“约会”的女主角。她像一位小家碧玉,隐于都市繁华的身后。在世博盛宴的热闹和喧嚣的间隙,带着家人、朋友沿古镇的小桥流水走一走,或品尝枫泾的独特美食,或品味寂静幽深的长廊,在林深花盛之处读几页闲书、品一盏绿茶。当然,您也可以与孩子一同欣赏充满童趣的画村黄昏,回到儿时的童话世界里,肆意地在大自然的怀抱中撒欢。
“伊人倚门望君踏归程”,枫泾是在世博会的热闹之余,为您精心调配的一支清心甜酒。
Fengjing (a famous ancient town to the southwest of Shanghai) should be your must-see place when visiting the World Expo.
Located to the southwest of Shanghai, Fengjing is China’s famous historical and cultural town that is reputed as one of the most beautiful places in Shanghai. It takes 40 minutes driving to get to Feingjing Town from Shanghai World Expo Park, the focus of the world.
Seated in the joint borders of the Wu and Yue States (Wu and Yue were two vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Periods), Fengjing Town has been called the Famous Town of Wuyue. Now it borders on five districts and counties of Zhejiang Province and Shanghai City--Jinshan, Songjiang, Qingpu, Jiashan and Pinghu, which makes it the most important “southwest portal” for Shanghai to connect with various provinces in southwest.
The Ancient Fengjing Town, enjoying the profound cultural foundation of Wu and Yue States, was established as a city in the Song Dynasty (A.D.960~1279) and founded as a town in the Yuan Dynasty (A.D.1206~1368). It crossed the borders of Wu and Yue States and was listed as one of the four most famous towns in Jiangnan(regions south of the Yangtze River) at end of the Yuan Dynasty (A.D.1206~1368) and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty (A.D.1368~1644), and has remained intact up to now.
As the world’s favorite, the World Expo never lacks amazement, just as Shanghai never lacks prosperity. And Fengjing, is never in short of surprises and ancient charm.
Fengjing, another “leading beauty” for sightseeing when visiting the World Expo, is like a pretty girl of humble birth, hiding herself behind the urban prosperity. In the intervals of enjoying the grand banquet of the World Expo, you can walk across the small and exquisite bridges to feel the clear water in the ancient city, taste the unique cuisine, enjoy the quiet, deep and serene long corridor, read some beautiful essays, or appreciate a cup of green tea, in the company of your family or friends. And you can also enjoy the beautiful dusk in the Painting Village, full of child interest, together with your children and go back to the fairy world of childhood memory, and play carefreely in the arms of nature.
“The beauty is looking forward to your return leaning on the gate.” Fengjing is a refreshing wine painstakingly made for you to enjoy in the intervals of the grand and lively World Expo.
