苏杭

苏州的介绍：享有“上有天堂，下有苏杭”之美誉的苏州市位于江苏省东南部的长江三角洲平原，东靠上海，南界浙江，西濒太湖，北临长江。

现辖４区（平江、沧浪、金阊、郊区）６市（常熟、张家港、昆山、吴江、太仓和吴县市），面积８４８８平方公里，城区为６６万平方公里，全市总人口５７１万。

公元前514年，吴大夫伍子胥“相土尝水”，“象天法地”为吴王建造阖闾大城。

四周城墙开有八座陆门，以象天之八风，八座水门，以法地之八卦。

古城遗址至今依稀可寻。

城内府衙、兵营、库房、作坊、市场、民居、和娱乐地布臵井然。

古城面积约为14平方公里，水陆并行，河街相邻，粉墙黛瓦，小桥流水，整体呈长方形双棋盘式。

街道两旁绿树成荫，景色宜人。

隋开皇九年，始名苏州。

著名的京杭大运河流经苏州，给东方威尼斯增添了新的魅力。

此名自隋唐沿用至今。

苏州城形成早、规模大、变迁小，水陆并行，河街相邻。

古城区至今仍坐落在原址上，为国内外所罕见。

故而苏州至今还保留着许多有关西施，伍子胥等的古迹。

苏州是中国首批公布的２４个历史文化名城之一，它的历史可上溯到七千年前。

在吴县唯亭镇北２公里，阳澄湖南岸的草鞋山发掘出新石器时期的古文化遗址，发现陶、石、骨、玉等生活、生产和装饰用品１１００多件。

尤其重要的是还出土了中国最早的纺织残品（葛），表明苏州一带是中国纺织的发祥地之一。

苏州现有69座古典园林，其中网师园、拙政园、留园和环秀山庄最著名。

苏州园林藏而不露，为退避尘嚣的场所。

它们揉合了道、释、孔三教的思想，以山石、水流、花木、和建筑等基本要素再造了大自然的缩影，具有丰富的文化内涵。

苏州园林艺术充分代表了中国人的聪明才智，其造诣之高，世无伦比。

苏州是个得天独厚的地方。

得天独厚不完全是土地肥沃，气候温和，还在于她的文化积淀的深厚；地理的优势是得于天，文化的优势是得于人，天人合一形成了苏州这一座历史文化名城。

苏州古城东临上海，西接太湖，是长江三角洲地区一颗璀璨的明珠。

年平均气温在15.7℃，地属温带，有明显的温和湿润、四季分明的气候特征，属于平原丘陵区。

古城面积14.2平方公里，东西窄，南北宽，呈长方形。

城周有内外两条护城河，四周有水陆城门7座，陆城门1座。

虽然古老的城墙大多被毁坏，城门也拆除几尽，但最古老的盘门水陆城门仍保留完好，护城河及水巷、小巷并行的仍可见到。

苏州城内河道众多，总长35公里，在这些宽宽窄窄的河面上有各式拱桥、梁桥186座。

所以13世纪意大利的旅行家马可、波罗游过苏州后，称苏州为“东方的威尼斯”，从此这个美誉就一直沿用至今。

苏州古城历经2500年历史的洗涤，所体现出来的城市形象相当有个性：房屋都是清一色的白墙和黑灰色的瓦，仿照苏州古典园林粉墙黛瓦的建筑特色。

苏州的园林是苏州的骄傲，明清时期，苏州有园林271处，目前存有六十多处。

苏州的园林为什么多而精呢，这和中国的历史文化以及苏州的地理、人文都有关系。

苏州在隋唐时期经济已经非常发达，仅次于长安，经济的发达奠定了文化的发展。

随着科举制度的进一步发展，范仲淹创建了宋代历史上第一个、又是规模最大的的地方学府——苏州文庙府学。

苏州真正成了文人荟萃之地。

他们中的许多人通过了科考，不论是衣锦还乡还是告老退隐，他们在苏州营造了一个与自然相融、与天地共存的生活空间，他们把文学、书画以及对生命的理解渗透到园林中。

所以，苏州园林不只是物质的空间，更是古代文化人精神的世界。

和苏州园林密切相关的还有昆曲、评弹、吴歌。

昆曲是我国最古老的剧种之一，它以其文雅的吐词、柔糯的唱腔、舒缓的节奏与苏州园林贴切的糅为一体；评弹是一门具有戏剧性、文学性和音乐性的综合性说唱艺术，它不仅唱腔曲调动听，而且注意文字，能雅俗共赏，深受社会各阶层喜爱；吴歌为江南民间歌谣的总称，以清新委婉的曲调和吴侬软语的地方特色而名传遐迩。

另外，苏州又是“富庶之邦”，物产富饶。

苏州土地肥沃，农耕发达，种植水稻、麦子、油菜、蚕桑、豆类、蔬菜等作物。

水稻产量全国领先，米质精良，且有苏御糯等名品。

秀丽多姿的太湖流域物产尤为丰富：洞庭红桔、枇杷、杨梅、银杏、茶叶、莼菜等花果久负盛誉，鱼类品种繁多，以银鱼、白虾、白鱼最为有名，被誉为“太湖三白”。

另外，苏州阳澄湖的大闸蟹也因其个大味美驰名中外，素有“蟹王”之称，章太炎夫人汤国梨有诗赞道：“不是阳澄湖蟹好，此生何必住苏州！”，所以说苏州是典型的“鱼米之乡”。

栽桑养蚕是又一盛事，“乡间无旷土，春夏之交，绿荫弥望”。

苏州地区气候湿润、四季分明，蚕茧质量好。

曾有“日出万匹，衣被天下”之誉的苏州，丝绸产量占全国的六分之一强，出口量占全国三分之一，无论质量和产量在全国都名列前茅，是有名的“丝绸之府”。

随着苏州经济的发展，在苏州古城的东面和西面又分别扩出了两个大区域：中新合作的工业园区和高新技术开发区。

美国《商业周刊》罗列的世界九大新兴工业城市，亚洲地区唯一的一个就是苏州。

苏州已经成了国际投资的热点，高新技术集中的区域。

只要走出古城，扑面而来的是现代化的气息以及和国际接轨的城市管理。

所以现在的苏州很大，全市面积8488平方公里，下辖五个县及市和八个区，总人口有580万。

昨天的小苏州已经发展为大苏州，她已成为最具活力的年轻的现代化城市。

总之，苏州是一部书，是需要细细品味的书。

苏州的一山一水、一桥一塔、一街一巷，都寄寓着美的传说和人生的哲理，会唤起人们无尽的遐思。

雄奇的虎丘，记载着吴越春秋的史实；寒山寺的钟声，将《枫桥夜泊》的诗韵传送万里；范仲淹动人的故事，会让人们想起“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”的名句。
