With over 2,500 years of history, Shaoxing is one of the oldest cities in China. It has long been a center of culture, and home to countless
literati, scholars, and social activists. To use Ming (1368 – 1644) scholar Yuan Hongdao’s (袁宏道) words, “there are more celebrities in
Shaoxing than sh in water.” For romantics, Shaoxing represents the lost land “South of the Yangtze River,” or Jiangnan (江南). In a literary sense, Jiangnan is an imagined world that exists in Chinese poetry, always associated with apricot blossoms, spring rain, stone bridges, and waterways. Shaoxing is a city that allows the idea of Jiangnan to run wild in people’s imaginations with ancient bridges, black-canopy boats, and fragrant yellow wine.
