Me and my hometown--Shaoxing
When I was a child, I thought Shaoxing was the bumpy stone road, the smell of stinky tofu that could be smelled in the streets and alleys, the fennel beans, and the radish. Silk cake. When I grew up, I realized that what I knew about this ancient city with a long history was just a drop in the bucket.

She is the messenger of history, and every ancient brick is writing their own memories. . Starting from the Xiaohuangshan Culture in the middle of the Neolithic Age, it has a history of about nine thousand years. In 490 BC, the State of Yue established its capital in the present Yuecheng District, and it has been more than 2,500 years. According to historical records: Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods and gathered all the princes to plan and reward him for his merits. After his death, he was buried in Maoshan and renamed Maoshan to Kuaiji. That is the origin of the name Kuaiji.

The bridge in Shaoxing is a kind of scenery that is worth stopping for, leaving a sense of tranquility in the noisy city. Today's Shaoxing is no longer what it used to be. It is a modern city with many high-rise buildings and a very powerful transportation hub. Especially after the reform and opening up, the economy has developed very rapidly and the people have become rich. In addition, successive governments have attached great importance to urban construction and the ancient city. Although the original appearance of the entire city cannot be seen due to the protection of points, lines and surfaces, the history of Shaoxing can still be seen through the protection of the preserved Cangqiao Street, Xixiaolu Block, Dongshuangqiao Baziqiao and Guangning Bridge areas. I feel really lucky to have survived. Therefore, I feel satisfied and proud to have grown up in this city.
