The town is divided into four zones by a cross-shaped river, with the

Beijing- Hangzhou Grand Canal running across the town, making it the only ancient

water town adjacent to the canal. The town lies on the Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Huzhou

Alluvial

Plain,

with

no

hills

but

interlaced

rivers.

Due

to

its

warm

and

humid

climate,

and abundant rainfalls and sunshine, the products here are rich, making Wuzhen

well-known as

“

the town of fish, rice, and silk

”

.

Wuzhen enjoys a history of over 1,000 years since its establishment in 872 A.D.

However, according to the textual research of the Tanjiawan site, one of the

important

cultural

relics

under

state

protection,

ancestors

of

Wuzhen

had

lived

here

at

the

New

Stone

Age

7,000

years

ago.

The

ancient

Grand

Canal

nurtured

the

splendid

culture of Wuzhen, and the long historic accumulation endowed Wuzhen with sound

cultural deposits.

乌镇于公元

872

年建立，至今已有

1000

多年的历史。然而，对谭家湾遗址（国家重点文物

保护遗址）出土的史料研究 表明，乌镇的先民早在约

7000

年就在这块土地上繁衍生息。 古

运河滋养了乌镇灿烂的文明，悠久的历史积累使得乌镇有着丰富的文化底蕴。

Over

more

than

1,000

years,

Wuzhen

has

never

changed

its

name,

address,

water

system

of

lifestyle.

The

traditional

buildings

are

still

well

preserved

after

crossing

so

many

rough

years.

Within

the

town,

with

a

dense

network

of

rivers

and

wharves,

people

build their houses along the river and establish markets close to bridges. Stone

railings and arch bridges, arched gates across the street, imposing dwellings and

spacious courtyards, river banks and verandas are well preserved, presenting an

original ecological scene of a water town in Jiangnan.

多年来，乌镇从未改 过名，迁过地址，改变水乡生活方式。历经沧桑岁月，乌镇的传

统建筑至今保存完好。镇 内有着密集的水网和码头，民居邻河而建、傍桥而市；石栏拱桥、

过街券门、深宅大院、 河埠廊坊保存完好，一派原生态江南水乡的怡然风情。

Within the town, there are now more than 40 hectares of late 19

century original

buildings,

and more than 100 ancient

stone bridges of different shapes.

It is just

like a natural museum of ancient architecture. In the town, watercourses and

flagstone

streets

extend

in

all

directions

and

intercross

here

and

there.

The

native

residents live peacefully in their old houses by water, just like their ancestors

do before a long time.

Wuzhen

has

become

a

living

fossil

of

ancient

oriental

civilization

for

its

profound

history

and

culture,

graceful

water

town

scenery,

unique-flavored

delicious

foods,

various

and

colorful

folk-customs

and

festivals.

It

’

s

a

kind

of

beauty

that

naturally

endowed.

While

displaying

the

extraordinary

charming

of

Chinese

ancient

culture

and

the soul of the oriental life, Wuzhen has become a disseminator of traditional

culture and an emissary of the communication between China and foreign countries.
