South of the town did not know could be this: the white walls and gray tiles of the set off, under the French-style red brick steel window reveals a unique grace, in the sunlight, the Ming and Qing architecture and Western style houses in the shadow of overlap together, showing the integration of Chinese and Western cultures and conflicts, which is strange beauty, but also contradictory blending. All this, I appreciate the Nanxun unexpectedly arrived.
After seeing Xitang, Zhujiajiao, swimming across the Tongli, Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen, worship had Hongcun, Xidi, Tang After modeling, I visited villages in the Ming and Qing architecture can be well acquainted with. The Nanxun I come to the optional mentality. For all the previous negative Dracula Nanxun also slightly know, so some of the evil hearts. But the way I visit often harvested surprise.
Nanxun because of Zhang and Liu, the rise of two great families formed the scale of today's buildings. Both the owner and both are financially strong and early access to and absorb Western culture, civilized people. In particular, the owner surnamed Zhang studied in France for many years, after returning to the West because of lingering life, so the back garden in the ancestral home was built a two-story building. Built of red brick as the material, decorated with flowers and plants from around the steel decoration, the windows of the church are inlaid with dark blue glass, on the second floor there is an arched terrace and pool with a typical French style. It is worth mentioning that the construction on the first floor is a ballroom can accommodate 100 people, which consists of the band stage and cloakroom, on the ground five-color mosaic is presented in detail as gorgeous as new. The most interesting scene is the ballroom next to the description column wrote: I remember when a number of Retention long pigtails, wrapped feet of the local "celebrities" in this grand how Western-style dance scene. With this guidance, in the brain conjures up the image is interesting and unique. Listen to tour guide said: This owner who is extremely picky person, all the house of the objects were transported from France. Small dark blue of the windows, large column Diaolan, so to fully recover the essence of French architecture. Ballroom stood under the arch leading to the garden, the garden two rare century-old Magnolia grandiflora tree cloud-capped, huge leaves rustle with the breeze blowing issued, the garden is surrounded by white walls and gray tiles of the Chinese-style architecture, so that the moment I do not know what they were in, the thoughts are fleeting up.
And Zhang also house the same pattern of well-known Liu "Red House", the same French style, but in order for the construction of the rectangular style, more atmospheric, less refined. For the East and West blend the product, I have access to many of Shanghai's Xintiandi is an example, but the new world is the charm of Chinese and western wall of the unity of Nanxun such as the comparative combination, there are essential differences.
After traveling back to inspect a lot about Nanxun introduction, regarded it is defined as the town, few people highlight it is subject to the extent of Western cultural influence and status. I am not architects, nor a historian, but from the perspective of tourists Nanxun, I think we should explore its unique nature, perhaps in the near future, it can be like a new world, like Lijiang, the same as Yang Su is Chinese and foreign visitors recognized.
