Come to the ancient town of Fengqiao where Zhang Ji moored his boat at night, and visit the relics of the Ming Dynasty's resistance against Japanese pirates

Fengqiao, located outside the Changmen of Suzhou, is connected to the east by the Iron Bell Pass, and echoes with the Jiangcun Bridge in front of Hanshan Temple. In the Tang Dynasty, it was also known as Fengqiao. In ancient times, every night when the city gate of Suzhou was closed and the canal was sealed, the side of the bridge was full of canal boats waiting to pass the customs at dawn. Hanshan Temple was built in the Liang Dynasty, but it became famous all over the world because of the poem 'Mooring at Fengqiao at Night' by Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji. Today, where Zhang Ji's guest boat moored at night, there is a poem stele by Shen Du, a calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty. Gao Qi, a Ming Dynasty person, said in his poem 'Mooring at Fengqiao': The painted bridge reflects the river city three hundred times, and Fengqiao in the poem is famous alone. How many times have I passed by and remembered Zhang Ji, the crow cawing and the moon falling and the bell ringing again. Iron Bell Pass, also known as Fengqiao Enemy Tower, was built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and is the only well-preserved relic of the anti-Japanese pass tower in Suzhou. Tie Ling Pass is a key point of water and land transportation and an important military barrier to guard the west of Suzhou City. The bridge embodies the beauty of the water town, and the tower shows the heroism of the pass. However, the enemy towers of Mudu and Fengmen, which were built in the same period, no longer exist. Tao Bo of the Qing Dynasty rebuilt it into Wenchang Pavilion to promote literature, and it is now listed as a provincial cultural protection unit in Jiangsu. Jinghong Crossing, originated from the separate industry of Zhao Huan, a Ming Dynasty official, in Hanshan, reproduces the prosperous scene of Fengqiao ancient town in the past. The east of Yuyin Bridge is the relic of 'Yuyin Xiaopu' by Yuan Tingdao of the Qing Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Fengqiao was an important commercial town in the country. Many literati and ink guests came to Fengqiao to seek ancient and visit the secluded, and they were inspired to write poems. There is also a branch garden where Gong Zizhen's maternal grandfather Duan Yucui lived, and the Canal Exhibition Hall, etc. The small bridge and flowing water depend on each other, and the Wu song and silk bamboo can be heard. Who would have thought that a wisp of homesickness from Zhang Ji's disappointment after failing the exam would echo for a thousand years and iron the world's travelers.
