I rode to Songjiang twice a month ago, to Tianma Mountain and Guangfulin Ruins Park. Today, I chose the Songjiang Urban area for riding Songjiang again. The highlights of Songjiang are basically concentrated on Zhongshan Road in Songjiang. It stretches for three kilometers from Zhongshan East Road to Zhongshan West Road. It is very worth seeing from ancient times to present, from culture to history.

It is necessary to introduce Songjiang again here. Songjiang was known as Huating in ancient times, but also called Yunjian and Luxiang. In the tenth year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty (751 AD), Huating County was established and later renamed Songjiang County. Before Shanghai was opened as a port, Songjiang was the political, economic and cultural center of Shanghai. Historically, it was known as "Su (Suzhou Prefecture) and Song (Songjiang Prefecture) provided half the world with wealth."

Itinerary: City-Songjiang Urban area

Distance: About 70 kilometers round trip

Highlights: Songjiang Museum-Fangta Garden-Yunjian First Floor-Songjiang Science and Technology Museum Cheng Shifa Art Museum-Songjiang Mosque·Xilin Zen Temple

- Silu Garden-Cangcheng Rice Travel-Songjiang Intangible Cultural Heritage Training Base-Guanding Zen Temple-Dacang Bridge

The Songjiang Museum is small in scale, with a two-story building and an entrance with white walls and black tiles in the style of Suzhou gardens. Compared with the one in Qingpu, Fengxian, Songjiang has such a long history, and the museum area is actually a bit small.

There are many inscriptions in the outdoor area of the museum, which are worth seeing.

The historical relics unearthed in the Songjiang area so far are displayed in the museum, including precious cultural relics unearthed in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties from the Xilin Tower Underground Palace and the Fangta Underground Palace.

The second floor tells the story of Songjiang, but the exhibits are not very regular.

There is a Dayuan porcelain warehouse on the first floor-an exhibition of cultural relics unearthed from the Yuan Dynasty ruins in Taicang. The east and west are more complete than the second floor.

Fangta Garden is located next to the Songjiang Museum

Next door to Fangta Garden is Songjiang Science and Technology Museum

Across the road from Songjiang Science and Technology Park is the first floor of Yunjian. The first floor of Yunjian was first known during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. It can be called the tallest building in Songjiang City at that time and was a landmark building in ancient Songjiang. The "First Building of Yunjian" we see now was restored and rebuilt in 1999 and is now the gate of Songjiang No. 2 Middle School. The style of the mountain top with double eaves, flying at the corners, and antique.

Cheng Shifa Art Museum covers an area of 2541 square meters. The building is an ancient building in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The door of the art museum is decorated with cornices and brick carvings.

Cheng Shifa is a native of Songjiang, a Chinese Shanghai-style calligraphy and painting painter. He is unique in characters, flowers and birds, and has attainments in comics, New Year paintings, illustrations, illustrations, etc.

Compared with the Songjiang Museum, the Cheng Shifa Memorial Hall is much larger in scale.

The surrounding buildings surround small bridges, flowing water and Taihu Lake stones that add a touch to the finishing touch, adding a modernization to the antique garden buildings.

The exhibition hall contains famous calligraphy and paintings in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties as well as masterpieces of calligraphy and painting created by Cheng Shifa himself. Huang Gongwang, Ni Zan, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Dong Qichang, Chen Laolian, Xu Wei, Bada Shanren, Xu Gu, Wu Changshuo, etc. in ancient calligraphy and painting are all landmark figures in the history of Chinese art.

The mosque, which has a history of more than 700 years, has its doors locked and is not open to the public during the epidemic.

Songjiang Mosque, built during the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty (1341 - 1367 AD), is the oldest Islamic building in Shanghai.

Xilin Zen Temple was first built in 872 AD in the Tang Dynasty and was built in 1265 AD in the Southern Song Dynasty. It has been 1145 years since.
The largest temple in Songjiang is quiet and solemn, with constant incense at dusk and morning bells.

Yuanying Pagoda is somewhat similar to the Songjiang Square Pagoda in terms of appearance and color, except that the square Pagoda has nine floors and four sides, while the Yuanying Pagoda has seven floors and eight sides, representing a seven-level pagoda. The similarity is that both are brick-wood structures and both originated in the Song Dynasty, but Yuanying Pagoda is the tallest ancient tower in Shanghai.

There is a small arched stone bridge and a carp pond under the bridge. The water is clear, transparent and very clean, and the goldfish in the pond are large and small. The goldfish that have been lit in the famous temples are brighter and stronger than ordinary ones.

The ancient temple does not accept tickets, and gives three incense sticks. The incense money is as you please. At noon, plain noodles are provided, which is clear and has few desires.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Songjiang four-gilled perch was particularly famous. This fish ranked first among the four famous fish in China. It was famous in Jiangnan and was only produced in Songjiang, so Songjiang was also known as the "Perch Township". Silu Garden, as the name suggests, commemorates Songjiang and this specialty, which shows the significance of this garden.

The brick carving illuminates the wall, and there are three pictures, from left to right: "Crane Dance in the Clouds","Lu Ji Wen Fu", and "Sunset Shines on Perch Village". The entire large wall is the most attractive part of the entire park.

The original site of Dong Qichang's Shangshufang has long disappeared, and only a granite stone pillar remains.

The Lujiang public rental housing next to the park is the best government public rental housing I have ever seen.

The so-called Cangcheng refers to the largest grain storage at that time on this street

Agricultural tools routinely used in the rice store

Cangcheng is located on Zhongshan West Road in Songjiang. It is a little-known old street that runs to Xilin Road in the east and Yushu Road in the west. It is also the oldest Shanghai. The entire old street is being prepared for development. This is a place to showcase the culture of the old street.

Walk through the long and narrow trails and taste the beauty and age!

There are many Ming and Qing buildings that have been protected, and there are still many Ming and Qing buildings in the entire street.

There are a lot of intangible cultural things on display

Dacang Bridge is a landmark landscape in Songjiang. This five-arch large stone arch bridge is 54 meters long, 5 meters wide and 8 meters high. It is currently the largest existing stone bridge in Songjiang and one of the larger stone arch bridges in the Ming Dynasty in Shanghai.

According to records, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a warehouse city was built south of Dacang Bridge, with city walls, four gates, enemy towers, and barnstorming cities. It was very large. It can be said that it was the prosperity of Cangcheng that enabled the western part of Songjiang City to develop rapidly and ultimately affected the development pattern of ancient Songjiang cities.

It is said that Meng Jiangnu is from Huating, and it is said that Meng Jiangnu is the family of Huating. Folk legend has it that Meng Jiangnu sailed north from this pavilion to seek her husband thousands of miles away.

From the Dacang Bridge, you can see that Meng Jiang Pavilion and the Guanding Zen Temple on the side form a combination of pavilions and courtyards, which adds a bit of beauty.

Guanding Zen Temple was originally a temple of Guandi in Shuicang. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally intended to use Guan Yu's high festival of loyalty and loyalty to protect the people. During the Qianlong period, it was named Guanding Zen Temple. In 2014, it was renovated by the Songjiang Buddhist Association. It is now a Buddhist activity venue and is the Buddhist Dharma Protector Jialan Bodhisattva Guan Gong Temple.

To be enlightened, pour the cheese refined from milk on your head. Buddhism uses this metaphor to instill wisdom, enlighten people and completely awaken them. It is also a metaphor to enlighten people greatly after listening to wise opinions.

Although the entire Buddhist temple is not large, it has winding paths leading to secluded areas, ancient but not outdated.

Songjiang has a long history and culture and is known as the "Root of Shanghai". It was once the center of the weaving and dyeing industry. It has a developed economy and has many existing monuments. This is the third time I have ridden Songjiang in two months. I feel that there are still many things to watch. In fact, as long as one has interests and hobbies, there are many cultural histories in a region and a city to explore, and we look forward to the next ride!
