From Jiangsu to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai to Jiangsu, it only takes a blink of an eye. Do you believe it?

Standing on the Yuandang Bridge, the newly promoted "Internet celebrity check-in place", this is not whimsical.

Viewed from the sky, this steel structure bridge, which looks like a curved bow or a piano, spans Yuandang Lake, which is like a belt of green water.

Holding Wujiang, Jiangsu Province at one end, and Qingpu, Shanghai at the other.

Some people call Yuandang Bridge "Nostalgia Bridge".

Across the Yuandang Lake, Jinze Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai City, and Lili Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province have been close to each other and have frequent exchanges since ancient times.

In the ancient town of Lili lives the old grandmother of a young man in Qingpu. On the bridge of Kanze Old Street, there is a mother looking forward to Lili's grandson."I haven't seen her yet."

But in the past, there were dense lakes and ditches between the two places, so it took some brains to travel back and forth.

"It takes at least 40 minutes to drive around, and walking is even more amazing." Standing on the bridge deck, 70-year-old Uncle Wu talked about his experience of carrying a load to Kanazawa's mother-in-law's home to deliver the "Dragon Boat Festival Ceremony", and shook his head repeatedly,"My hamstrings are going to break."

At the beginning of this year, the Yuandang ecological coastline connecting Wujiang and Qingpu was connected, and the Yuandang Bridge for walking and sightseeing was born."You can walk from Jiangsu to Shanghai in 5 minutes."

During this five-minute trip, the scenery of Jiangnan was everywhere.

By the lake, Persian chrysanthemum, Gesang flowers, and pansy bloom along the way, and both sides of the river are colorful.

On the lake, blue waves rippled, waterbirds flew and fishing boats shuttled.

Yuandang is not a large lake, only 12.9 square kilometers; Yuandang's water is not deep, only 3 meters at its deepest point, but it is abundant in water and rich in aquatic products.

The specialty "small-leaf water shield" is a national first-level key protected aquatic plant. It is boiled into soup with bamboo shoots, mushrooms, crucian carp, perch extracted fish, etc., and it tastes delicious.

As a result, Yuandang was also known as the "water shield".

This good name is said to come from an allusion.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei in Western Shu. Guotai became ill because he missed his daughter and did not think about food and tea. Sun Quan, the filial son, then issued an edict to the world to find a good prescription for famous doctors.

A doctor living in Yuandang sent a folk prescription and said:

There is a treasure in the country, and the fern is called Chun.

If it is not duckweed or seaweed, it can be made into soup.

Season in a jade bowl and cook in a clay pot.

Strengthen the qi to clear the fire, and calm the nerves with the essence.

It can nourish the skin, dispel aging and rejuvenate.

If you take a bowl every day, the turtle and crane are as old as the same age.

What does that mean?

He asked Sun Quan to use the water shield produced in Yuandang to make soup for the old lady.

Perhaps it was the delicacy of the water shield soup that aroused the old lady's appetite. Within a few days, the old lady's appetite blossomed and her body slowly recovered.

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he saw this and wanted to grant the doctor the title of royal doctor, but the doctor repeatedly declined. He only asked Sun Quan to erect a stone tablet next to Yuandang and carve it with the words "Qin Ci Xi Bri Dang".

This deal was so cost-effective that Sun Quan granted the doctor's wish with a stroke of his pen without hesitation.

Perhaps this is just a legend that local businessmen have nothing to say about. After all, it is a good idea to sell Schreberi at a good price through such a gimmick.

However, Zhang Han's "Thoughts on Ulch and Perch", a famous food eater in the Western Jin Dynasty, may really be related to Yuandang's small-leaf water shield.

When he was an official, the reason why he resigned from Sima Jiong, the king of Qi, and returned home was very strange: Han Yin saw the autumn wind, so he thought about wild vegetables, seaweed soup, and perch chowls in Wuzhong.

As a result, such a weird excuse was really "granted".

After returning to his hometown, Zhang Han built a new business at Fengli Bridge on the bank of Yuandang Lake.

This place was called Chunlu Port, which later became Ertu Port.

From this point of view, Yuandang residents might as well take advantage of the convenience of Yuandang Bridge to sell Zhang Han's gimmick. The business of this "water perch soup" will probably not be bad.
