Time: 2018-12-06 17:33:51 Author: ChinaWiki.net

Tongli Ancient Town belongs to Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It was built in Song Dynasty. There are many gardens, temples, residences and former residences of celebrities built in Ming and Qing dynasties in the town area. Fifteen small rivers in the shape of "Chuan" separated the town into seven islands, while 49 old bridges connected it into one, known as "small bridges, running water, homes".

Tongli's history can be traced back to "Songze Culture" and "Liangzhu Culture" five or six thousand years ago. As early as the Neolithic Age, there were ancestors here to slash, burn and breed. Superior natural conditions make it the richest place in Wudi, hence the original name "rich land".

Pre-Qin Dynasty has become a bazaar, which belongs to Wu County, Huiji County, and prosperous in Han and Tang Dynasties. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Tongli because its name was too luxurious. Shang belongs to the village and city, in Jiuli village. In the third year of Hou Liang Kaiping (909), Qian Si, king of Wu and Yue, demarcated the southern border of Wu County and the northern border of Jiaxing, and located Wujiang County. Tongli belonged to the Huahua Township of Wujiang County.

In the Song Dynasty, Feihua Township was officially established as Fanyu Township in Tongli. The old name "rich soil" is overlapped, and then the word is divided into two parts. The first half is "the same", and the second half is "the field" and "the soil" are added together to become "the same".

During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Tongli gradually moved to the south, because there were three East-West rivers in the town, forming the "Sichuan" type, also known as "Tongchuan". Tuncun became a market in the Han Dynasty, which was originally called Tunshi. It had reached a prosperous period in the early Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Song Jianyan, more than 1000 families lived here.

In Yuan and Ming Dynasty, Yi Shi was a village. In the 16th year from Yuan to Zhengzheng (1356), Zhang Shicheng's brother Zhang Shide, according to Wujiang, separated Tan Daoji to guard Dongguan of Tun City, and controlled Xiuzhou and Songjiang's two main choices. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of residents, more than half of whom were ironworkers, increased slightly and became self-employed. In the first year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1488), Tuncun belonged to Jiuyong Township, Wujiang County.

The administrative region was readjusted during the reign of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. Originally living in Tongli Town, watermen built houses on the freed River plug of several mu, which is also a bustling city, called "new land filling". The town continued to expand to the southeast. Xuantong two years (1910) to promote regional autonomy.

In the first year of the Republic of China, Tongli City Office was established.

In October 1985, Tongli Town and Township were merged to implement the system of town management.

Two copper coins are embedded in the hole (the hole is slightly larger than the copper coin, which can shake the copper coin). They are fixed with screw nuts, and red, green and yellow silk ribbons are tied here. 。 Generally, three holes are punched at each end and three pairs of colorful ribbons are tied.

When dancing, the copper money in the lotus box will make a pleasant sound, and the colorful ribbons will fly up and down, which is very beautiful.
