It is an ancient town hidden in the suburbs of Shanghai and the hometown of Chen Yun, an old generation proletarian revolutionist. It is located in Qingpu District in the southwest of Shanghai, adjacent to Songjiang District in the East and Jiaxing and Jiashan in Zhejiang Province in the southwest.

It is said that the Three Kingdoms and Soochow built a pond here to drill the water army, so it is named; It is also said that Zhang Zijun, the governor of Gaozhou in the Five Dynasties, and his wife, Madame Lian, once lived here.

Liantang ancient town is an ancient town of indifference and life. There are no crowds of tourists and shops everywhere. There is only a river running through the ancient town, connecting more than 10 ancient bridges. The scenery is beautiful.

More than 10 ancient bridges of Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty across the Shihe River are hidden among the weeping willows. There are various kinds of bridges. People walk on them and flow under them. The shadows of bridges, trees, houses and people ripple in the microwave.

The unique landscape of Liantang is composed of "high house, narrow lane, opposite Street building, small bridge and flowing water". Liantang old street is the core of the ancient town. The old street is not long. It is only three li. A city river commonly known as "sanlitang" runs through the East and west of the ancient town. Across the river are two stone roads. One is called Shangtang Street (Dongfeng Street and Qianjin Street)

Xiatang street of Liantang is located on the South Bank of Shihe River, between youjiajing River and fengjiazha, with a total length of about 720 meters. It is one of the old streets of Liantang.

Passing through the old Zhufeng highway and heading west, Xiatang street has a "Xiatang Street noodle shop"

Wanshan bridge: this bridge is a single span bridge. It also has a name of huntangbang bridge. It is a bridge built in Qing Dynasty. This bridge used to be a ring bridge. Later, it was changed into a concrete step arch bridge. Later, it was changed back to become today's stone arch bridge.

Liantang abacus culture museum is subordinate to Chen Yun Memorial Hall. This abacus museum was specially opened and built to let visitors understand the story of the great man Chen Yun. At the same time, Mr. Chen Yun, who is known as the boss of the Republic, is a real abacus master. The old man had a very profound strategy when he was in charge of the lifeline of national economic construction, Part of the root of these strategies should come from the idea of abacus.

Zizania latifolia weaving hall is a very worthwhile scenic spot.

Liantang is known as "the first town of Zizania latifolia in East China". Zizania latifolia is not only a table delicacy, but also can be woven into exquisite handicrafts. Walking into the experience hall, you can not only enjoy the exquisite weaving skills, but also experience the fun of weaving with your own hands.

Chen Yun's former residence, No.95 Xiatang street, is an old-fashioned brick and wood Jiangnan residence with a total construction area of 95.88 square meters. The front part of the former residence is the storefront, which was used by Chen Yun's uncle as a tailor shop and a small hotel to make a living. Behind the store is a two-story building. The upstairs is the bedroom of Uncle Chen Yun's parents, and the downstairs is the room where Chen Yun once lived. The furnishings in his former residence basically keep the original appearance of that year. Chen Yun lived in his uncle's and aunt's house for 8 years (6-14 years old), and then went to Shanghai Commercial Press as an apprentice.

Sanshengtang bookstore, No. 100 Xiatang street, opened the first bookstore in Liantang Town at the end of Qing Dynasty, named "Changyuan". The residents of the town like to listen to Pingtan, and the business of Changyuan is booming. As a result, another Bookstore named "Changqingyuan" also appeared in huntangbang, singing "antithetical drama" with "Changyuan".

"Pingtan Art Museum", Liantang Town Government used a house in Xiatang street to set up Pingtan Culture Museum. It's not expensive, but it's unique. In the final analysis, the Pingtan Art Museum has a lot to do with Chen Yun.

Chen Yun, born in the south of the Yangtze River, loved Pingtan all his life. When he was a poor boy, he could only stand in the corner of the bookstore and listen to it. In the 1950s, during his investigation and research in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, he used his rest time to make up for his childhood regret. He also began to record the singing clips of famous Pingtan artists, saved a lot of precious Pingtan materials, and established Suzhou Pingtan School under his initiative, so that this colorful folk art has been carried forward in the land suitable for her.

Suzhou Pingtan can be roughly divided into three schools, namely Chen Diao, Ma Diao and Yu Diao.

Chen Yuqian, the founder of Chen Diao, was born in Suzhou. He was a Tanci artist in Suzhou during the reign of Qianlong and Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty. In his early years, he sang Suzhou Kunqu Opera. Later, he changed to Tanci and used a voice similar to Kunqu Opera. He mainly sings in a loud voice, with a broad and vigorous voice, sometimes mixed with a low voice, which increases the sense of twists and turns and sadness

Ma Diao was founded by Xianfeng of Qing Dynasty and Ma Rufei, an artist in Tongzhi. Singing is gradually formed on the basis of Shu Diao, and deeply influenced by Dongxiang Diao. It focuses on recitation, emphasizes the language factors of lyrics, and has a flat melody. But every word has its own sound, sonorous and powerful, strong narrative. According to the rules of seven character libretto, the sixth character of the next sentence is often punctuated to highlight the rhyme. Singing not only attaches importance to language factors, but also has strong plasticity.

Based on "Ma Diao", the developed schools of singing include "Wei Diao", "Shen Diao", "Xue Diao" and "Qin Diao" in modern times. Their common characteristics are lively rhythm, paying attention to aura, and are generally good at duanchang and Lianyun reduplication.

The architectural design not only reflects the characteristics of Jiangnan, but also keeps consistent and harmonious with the style of Chen Yun's former residence and the surrounding folk architecture. The bronze statues of six great men and ten marshals standing in the Museum give people a new taste of the leader's style.

The exhibition hall is reconstructed from the original Yulan residence of the memorial hall. It has three courtyards and is a two-story single family building. More than 60 bronze statues of leaders are displayed in the hall by the famous sculptor and calligrapher Mr. Cheng Yunxian.

The first thing I saw in the front room was a bronze statue of the head of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Mao Zedong. I wondered why there was no Stalin.
