Introduction：
Jinze Ancient Town, located in Qingpu District, Shanghai, is a time-honored “Famous Chinese Historical and Cultural Town” with rich cultural heritage. Defined by its waterways, it boasts a longstanding bridge-and-temple culture with the unique cultural legacy as embodied in the saying of “Each bridge in this town is connected with a temple.” According to historical records, there had been “six temples, one tower, thirteen archways and forty-two bridges” in the town, thus earning it the accolade of “Jiangnan’s Top One Bridge Town.” Nowadays, seven ancient bridges built in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have survived the test of time, namely the Yingxiang, Ruyi, Fangsheng, Puji, Tianhuangge, Wan’an, and Linlao Bridges. Originally built in the first year of the Jingding era during the Southern Song dynasty, the Yihao Temple was once unchallenged in the Jiangnan region with its 5,048 magnificent buildings.
The temple contains the remains of carved clouds based on paintings of Zhao Mengfu, an ancient painter and calligrapher, as well as a 700-year-old ginkgo tree. It also retains the Jinze Temple Fair, which is held twice a year and has spawned vibrant local culture such as folk customs, cuisine, and performances.
