The
Ancient Town of Wuzhen : Wuzhen Town, in
Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, has a history of more than 1,000
years. Tradition is still very much alive in Wuzhen. In addition to
flower-drum opera, shadow-puppet shows, and temple fairs, Wuzhen also
attracts visitors with its time-honored art of making indigo-dyed printed
calico. In ancient times, indigo-dyed printed calico was used for curtains,
scarves, and tablecloths in every household in the countryside of Zhejiang
Province. Today, it is still common to see old women in indigo-blue
gowns leisurely operating spinning wheels or looms
at
weaving workshops in the old lanes of Wuzhen, while the squeaks of the
looms resound throughout the lanes. Carrying on this tradition has become
a part of the lives of the old women. People in Wuzhen live a simple
life. Many of them breed silkworms and raise chrysanthemums, and they
have mostly retained the tradition of buying fruit and vegetables from
trade boats through the windows of their waterside houses. They benefit
from an inherited harmony of man and nature and enjoy the pleasing living
environment that comes from social progress. Wuzhen has been included
by UNESCO in the reserve list of world cultural heritages.
