Surrounding Shanghai｜Nanxun Ancient Town, where real domestic old money can be found

[RedHeart][Nanxun Ancient Town specialty domestically produced "old money"] I have visited dozens of ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River over the years. However, there is no harm without comparison. This time I went to Nanxun Ancient Town and only saw three attractions (Zhang Jingjiang’s former residence, Baijian Building, Silk Industry Guild Hall) and I was already impressed by the "Four Symbols" The "Ba Niu" people's money-making ability is amazing. Nanxun Ancient Town is quite large, and there are still several gardens and residential buildings that I didn’t have time to visit, so I have to leave them for the next amazing trip. - [RedHeart][Nanxun Ancient Town｜"Old Money" Mansion] Perhaps because they were built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, compared to Shen Wansan's Shen Hall in Zhouzhuang during the Ming Dynasty, which was also made of old money, these mansions in Nanxun are unusually grand and majestic. The architectural style is mostly Chinese-style, and incorporates some features of Western-style architecture, such as stained glass, mosaic floors, etc., which is unique among Jiangnan ancient towns. - Take the building of Zhang Jingjiang's former residence as an example. Although the entrance door is not large, the bay and ceiling of the hall are like a palace building. The two-story Western-style house and the Chinese-style rockery are located in the same space, but they are not inconsistent. The blending of Chinese and Western architectural arts in this Jiangnan town is due on the one hand to the westward spread of modern times to the east, and on the other hand to the opening of the world and the development of international trade at that time. - [RedHeart][Nanxun Ancient Buildings to Watch] Zhang Jingjiang’s former residence (National Security Bureau) Silk Industry Association (National Security Bureau) Xiaolianzhuang (National Security Bureau) Zhang Shiming’s former residence (National Security Bureau) Jiaye Library (National Security Bureau) Liu's Ladder Number (National Security) Guanghui Palace Kim's old house Baijianlou Building Complex
