乌镇印象

乌镇印象

乌镇，位处中国浙江，一个典型江南风貌的古镇。在此景点，游客可以见证到江南的传统习俗和文化。自2014年以来，乌镇这个水网之乡，还被定为举办世界互联网大会的永久之地。

乌镇，完整地保存着原汁原味水乡古镇的风貌格局：水道联网密布，连桥成路，流水行船，亦路亦水，沿河建居，亦河亦街，水陆双栖，属枕河而息之地。此水网体系，往外延伸，可连接京杭运河和太湖；向内发展，则密连乌镇的池塘和水井，从而有序有层次地解决了水的运输、农作、饮用、储蓄、排灌、观赏等诸般水的利用问题。

Wuzhen, a historic scenic town with the classical style of southern China, is located in Zhejiang Province, China. Visitors can witness reenactment of traditional practices and cultures. Since 2014, Wuzhen, a water network township, becomes the permanent host place of the World Internet Conference.

Wuzhen has kept its original landscape and geography which can be summed up as follows. Waterways are connected into network. Bridges connect roads. Water canals are major pathways for people to travel by boat from place to place. Buildings are established along the river bank. The river is actually the street. People work and rest on both land and water. The water network system, extending outward, can connect the Grand Canal and Tai lake; its inward development, connects the ponds and wells of Wuzhen. Thus, all issues regarding to the water usages, including the watertransportation, farming, drinking, reservation, irrigation, drainage and decorations, etc., have systematically resolved in a good manner.

进入乌镇，人行网中，遥触古意，不禁抒怀：

踏上一条条岁月的斑驳，跨过一座座空间的链接

选定一袭曲径通幽的悠悠柳岸，一步一步，走向古远

那网的意识，网的构思，网的线路，网的接点

通过那条条的青石，座座的桥梁，互连的水网，还有那尾尾的乌篷船

将独立的点，分散的地,割裂着的空间，网成了一片

噫！这立体的三维网络,在深邃古老的东方，早被成功构建

乌镇是美的、艺术的、雅致的。古建筑琳琅满目，宛如江南古建筑陈列的博物馆。自然的美和人文的美，联合成有机的整体。水路和小巷四通八达，交叉成网。那小桥下的流水，沿河的水景房，古老的码头，水边的小铺，宁静的小巷，伴河延伸至数里的河廊，营造出独具江南韵味的水乡浪漫氛围。无论是漫步河边或乘船游河,你均会深深被那如画的风景和慢节奏的生活方式所打动。

旅游乌镇，人处美中，步步有美，每每有感：

走下一阶阶时光的沉淀，乘上乌篷船的吱声喃喃

选定一条古香古色的水道，一桨一桨，摇向古远

那水的生命，水的灵魂，水的柔情，水的韵律，水的升华

通过那顺水而建的河廊，绵延不断半悬于水上的水阁，蜿蜒曲折贯通道路的曲桥

构造出那随水变型的流动美，伴水绽现的魅力感

嗔！水之美原来可以如此这样复制，江南美原来是如此这般表现

Traveling in Wuzhen, walking along the water network, the inspirations from remote ancient wisdoms were touching down, I could not help but to express my feelings:

I selected a winding path leading to a secluded spot

stepped on ancient stones stained with time-colors

and crossed the links between the spaces

step by step

walking to the ancient

The ideas about the network, the design, the lines and the connections of network all were revealed by the trails of blue fl agstones

by bridge after bridges

by interconnections of water networks

and by the tail after tails of moving boats

They connected the points separated

the lands scattered

and the spaces divided

all into an intact network

Oh, my God!

The three-dimensional network of 3Ds

had been successfully established in the ancient East

Wuzhen is beautiful, artistic and elegant. The town is just like a natural museum of ancient architecture. The beauty of nature and humanities are artfully crafted and mingled, representing the art strongpoint of Wuzhen ancestors. The residents of Wuzhen have been building houses along the waters. In the town, watercourses and fl agstone streets, as the pattern of network, extend in all directions and intercross here and there. The quiet canals underneath a stone bridge, waterfront houses, the ancient docks, waterside pavilions, quiet alleys, and corridors that stretch out for miles erect a romantic atmosphere that is typical to water towns in South China. Whether wandering along the riverside or travelling by boat in the canals, you will be deeply impressed by the picturesque scenery and slow lifestyle.

Traveling in Wuzhen, surrounded by beautiful scenarios, every step with surprise, I often cried out:

I went down along an old stairs of deck

caught a small boat with black awnings and its old paddle was making noise

selected an ancient and sweet patina of waterway

rowed, rowed, rowed to the remote ancient

The life of water, the soul of water, the feelings of water, the rhythm of water and the sublimation of water

all were solidifi ed by corridor with shed along river bank

by endless ancient building hanging on the water

by winding bridges that connect the winding roads

They construct the beauty of the water stream and with the charm of water-fl owering

Alas! The beauty of water can be simulated as such

The Jiangnan beauty turns out to be as the simulation of water

乌镇的夜很多彩，还是颇富梦幻色的那种流光溢彩的彩。入夜，黑色里隐没的水屋，亮起彩色的灯火，间见红色灯笼高挂在古老的大门，使那古香古色与当代艳彩交相呼应着。那光与水交映，光波水波泛彩的河面，更是迷人。光雨如丝如带，泼面撒来，淅淅沥沥，满心皆湿，让游人均醉于这光彩雾雨中。彩雾如梦如幻，满眼袭来，袅袅霏霏，身心皆失，让游人迷失在云天雾里。光带曲曲折折而身姿婀娜，流水悠悠袅袅而酥酥缠绵。在这水和光做成的夜中乌镇，人踩着乌镇夜晚的水光，犹如踩在彩梦上。

乌镇还是现代的，网络覆盖着整个古镇。天上的信息网络与地上的水网体系二者交相呼应，谱写出乌镇古今网络相交叠的当代主旋律。游人在这里，可以与相隔千里万里的亲人用视频联系。在白天，共同分享“美里乌镇大，水中日月长”。到了夜晚，则又可分享“河里光网大，屏中日月长”了。乌镇美名，业已网行天下。

Night of Wuzhen is very colorful, which is a rich fantasy of color. When it is getting dark, the electronic lights or red lanterns with ancient styles that in and outsides of waterfront houses are all turned on. The lights are shining in the dark, flashing in the water, reflecting on the wall, turning the surroundings into a dreaming land. When you pay attention to the light on the fl owing water, the reflection of the water-light turns into living and charming light belt, moving and swerving. It seems that the water turns into light and the light becomes water. The light-rainy and color-fogy drops spray on the faces and eyes, and makes your heart and feelings fully soaked. At that moment, everything gets lost, you empty yourself, and only thing that you can do is brightly and colorfully dreaming.

Wuzhen is also a modern town. The network covers all the spaces of town. The information network in the sky and the water network system on the ground are overlapping. Visitors in here can make video calls to their loved ones far away. During the day, they can share “The beauty of Wuzhen is big, the time spending on the water runs long”. At night, they are able to share “the light network in the river is big, the time spending on electronic screen is long”. It is indeed that the reputation with beauty of Wuzhen has been spreading in the net world.
