上世纪六七十年代，无高铁高速，亦少私家车。出行运输，唯绿皮火车哐当、长途汽车颠簸、拖拉机轰鸣，或汽油船突突、摇橹船咿呀，甚者徒步。童年随父母居宁波余姚，外公外婆在绍兴上虞乡下。每逢春节、寒暑假，盼去外婆家心切，但需父母空才能成行。出发前夜，我们激动难眠，梦到赶不上车船惊醒，再睡竟至天亮。母亲摇着喊“再不起来赶不上车了”，我们猛然惊醒，欢天喜地大呼小叫。

In the 1960s and 1970s, there were no high-speed trains, and private cars were also scarce. For transportation, options included the clanging green-painted trains, the bumpy long-distance buses, the roaring tractors, or the noisy gasoline-powered boats and the creaking rowboats. In some cases, people even traveled on foot. When I was a child, I lived with my parents in Yuyao, Ningbo, while my grandparents lived in the countryside of Shaoxing, Shangyu. During the Spring Festival and during school vacations, I would eagerly look forward to going to my grandparents' house, but it required my parents to have free time to make the trip possible. The night before our departure, we would be so excited that we couldn't sleep, dreaming about missing our scheduled transportation and then waking up to continue sleeping until morning. My mother would shake me awake and say, "If you don't get up soon, you'll miss the bus!" We would suddenly wake up, full of joy and excitement, shouting and making noise.

绿皮火车哐当停靠上虞五夫站，下站便见摇橹船候于岸边。桨声咿呀，载我们向外婆家驶去，水波漾涟，两岸风光渐退，远望见外婆倚老樟树下静候。待船靠岸，她快步迎来，我们便扑进她怀里，她紧搂我们连唤“心肝宝贝”。归时，她仍在树下挥手，暮色里身影愈牵肠。那时凭口信传行程，外婆常一等便是一个时辰乃至半天，纵是不易却满是欢喜。自此，我与水乡、古桥、摇橹船结下深厚情结。

The green-painted train clanged to a stop at the Wufu Station in Yu, and the next stop would see a rowboat waiting on the shore. The rhythmic sound of the oars carried us towards our grandmother's home. The water rippled gently, and the scenery on both banks gradually faded into the distance. From a distance, we could see our grandmother sitting quietly under an old cypress tree, waiting for us. When the boat reached the shore, she quickly approached, and we rushed into her arms. She tightly embraced us, calling us "dearest ones." As we prepared to leave, she continued to wave from under the tree, her figure growing more poignant against the backdrop of twilight. At that time, information about our journey was communicated orally, and our grandmother often waited for what seemed like an hour or even half a day. Despite the inconvenience, she was filled with joy. From that moment on, a deep connection was formed between me and the water towns, ancient bridges, and the rowboats.

似水年华，流经半个多世纪的春夏秋冬，我从懵懂孩童、青涩少年，到温婉少妇、沉稳中年。2020年秋，初踏乌镇，眼眶竟莫名湿润，儿时记忆如潮水般涌来：水乡、古桥、摇橹船、外婆的身影，蓝花布的素雅。心底漫起似曾相识的温软——仿佛曾踏过晨雾萦绕的巷弄，也曾倚过这河沿的石栏。快门定格时光，文字漫溢心中，“似水年华”系列美篇的构思，亦在悄然萌生。

The years have flowed like water, passing through the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter over a span of more than half a century. From a naive child to a young and inexperienced individual, and then to a gentle young woman and a composed middle-aged person, I have experienced various stages of life. In the autumn of 2020, when I first set foot in Wuzhen, tears unexpectedly welled up in my eyes. Childhood memories flooded back like a tide: the water town, ancient bridges, rowing boats, the figure of my grandmother, the simplicity of blue floral fabric. A sense of familiarity and warmth spread through my heart – as if I had walked through the narrow alleys shrouded in morning mist and had leaned against the stone railing by the riverbank. The moment was captured by the camera, and thoughts flowed freely in my mind. The concept for the "Like Water Years" series of beautiful posts began to take shape quietly.

乌镇的美，浸在千年流波里。一河自春秋淌来，贯穿南北古镇，运河支流从西北角注入，时而为河、转身成港、注脚成湖，七拐八弯织就水网，缠络古镇肌理。镇因水而生，街依水而建，市傍水而兴。家家临河筑阁，推窗揽碧；户户晓窗汲水，晨雾映波。桥卧水上，串起茶余闲谈；船行波间，载着朝暮归程。临水长廊胜过长情，可坐可卧，话桑麻、诉情长，任流水潺潺，漫过岁月悠长。

The beauty of Wuzhen is immersed in the flowing waters that have existed for thousands of years. A river has flowed through the town since ancient times, connecting the northern and southern parts of the town. Tributaries of the canal flow into the town from the northwest corner, sometimes forming rivers, then turning into harbors, and finally becoming lakes. These twists and turns create a complex network of waterways, intricately woven into the fabric of the town. Wuzhen was born from the water, with streets built along the water's edge and commerce flourishing by its side. Houses are built along the riverbanks, with residents enjoying the view of the blue waters from their windows; households collect water from their morning windows, with morning mist reflecting on the waves. Bridges lie across the water, connecting moments of casual conversation; boats navigate through the waves, carrying people back and forth throughout the day and night. The waterfront promenade is more than just a scenic spot; it's a place where people can sit or lie down, sharing stories about daily life and expressing their feelings. The gentle flow of the water mirrors the passage of time, a constant companion through the years.

乌镇的美，醉在澄澈温润的水间。西栅河宽不过二十米，两岸鸡犬相闻，烟火可亲。墙根木椅静卧，石阶蜿蜒至水，摇橹船荡波候客。独坐在平顶摇橹船中，可思亦可放空。绿波轻拍心岸，悠悠生喜。乌镇是最宜发呆的去处，待思绪沉淀，人仿佛凝作壁上画、岸边景、水中影，与水乡融为一体。这方水土，恰似一块温润的江南玉，经风霜打磨，借流水滋养，在时光里沉淀出愈发醇厚的韵味。

The beauty of Wuzhen lies in the clear and soothing waters. The river in Xiazhai, with a width of no more than twenty meters, is surrounded by villages where the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard, and the sights of daily life are inviting. Wooden chairs are placed at the foot of the walls, and stone steps meander towards the water, where boats with oars wait for passengers. Sitting alone in a flat-roofed boat with oars, one can reflect or simply let the mind wander. The gentle waves caress the heart, bringing a sense of tranquility. Wuzhen is the perfect place to lose oneself in thought. After allowing one's thoughts to settle, it feels as though the person has become a painting on the wall, a scene by the shore, and a shadow in the water, all of which blend seamlessly with the water-rich environment. This region is akin to a warm and smooth piece of jade from the south of the Yangtze River. After enduring the test of time and benefiting from the nourishment provided by the flowing water, it has developed an increasingly rich and profound charm.

乌镇之美，藏于桥影交错中。世间无同叶，乌镇无同桥，南宋肇始，八十余桥错落有致，堪称“水乡古桥博物馆”。单孔桥、三孔桥和石拱桥等，有的庄严持重，苔痕爬满石缝，沉淀着岁月的厚重；有的灵动飘逸，桥身线条简练，如国画飞白般写意；有的朴素无华，静静横卧河面，恰似老农的汗巾轻搭河腰。石桥之上，或有古亭翼然，或刻精雕图案，或题对仗桥联，每一处都藏着水乡的温婉与雅致。

The beauty of Wuzhen lies in the intricate interplay of bridges. There are no two identical bridges or leaves in the world; Wuzhen has no two identical bridges either. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, over 80 bridges have been constructed in a way that creates a harmonious landscape, making it akin to a "Museum of Ancient Water Bridges." Bridges with single openings, those with three openings, and stone arch bridges, each with its own unique character. Some are solemn and imposing, with moss creeping into the crevices, carrying the weight of time. Others are graceful and ethereal, with simple yet elegant lines, reminiscent of the free-hand brushwork in Chinese painting. Some are unassuming and plain, quietly lying across the river, much like an old farmer's handkerchief draped lightly over the river's edge. Above these stone bridges, there might be ancient pavilions, intricate carvings, or couplets inscribed on the bridges, each element revealing the gentle charm and refined elegance characteristic of the water-laced landscape.

乌镇的桥，是挂在水上的岁月长卷。石拱拢着河雾，把别离与归期都嵌进桥缝——曾有人倚栏望穿水色，慈母的眼波缠在橹声里，离乡的帆影、还乡的篙尖，都在水天茫茫处，落作桥栏上的苔痕。于乌镇人而言，桥从不是路的终点。它是戏台，演着千百年的悲欢；是乡愁的锚，系着梦里的河埠与木窗；更是心的渡口——凭栏处，眼风掠过河面，便把半生的念，都寄给了流水与归舟。

The bridges in Wuzhen are like long scrolls hanging over the water. The stone arches embrace the mist over the river, embedding both separations and anticipated reunions within the crevices of the bridge. Some people have leaned on the railing, gazing intently at the water's surface. The tender gaze of a mother is intertwined with the sound of the oar. The silhouettes of ships leaving and returning, as well as the tips of oars, all blend into the vast expanse of the sky and water, leaving behind moss-covered marks on the bridge's railings. For the people of Wuzhen, bridges are not merely the endpoints of paths. They serve as stages where the joys and sorrows of countless years unfold; they act as anchors for homesickness, connecting the imagined river wharfs and wooden windows; and they are also the crossing points of the heart – from the railings, one can gaze out at the river, sending a lifetime's thoughts to the flowing water and returning boats.

乌镇西栅的水上集市，被一条木栈桥裁开两岸烟火——栈桥横卧西市河。桶是朱红的，沉在船舷边，把四乡的鲜活都兜在水里；竹篮里的干货裹着香，抓一把小食，齿间便落满水乡的烟火气。河上的船：舱板铺着竹匾，橙黄的橘、嫩白的萝卜、紫透的薯芋，衬着木船的深褐，像把田垄搬上了波心。这是西栅的晨：船是铺子，水是街巷，连风里都裹着蔬果的鲜气，把旧时光的生活，过成了眼前的寻常。

The water market in the West Village section of Wuzhen is divided into two distinct areas by a wooden causeway—the causeway stretches across the West River. The barrels are painted a deep red and are placed along the sides of the boats, capturing the freshness from the surrounding countryside. The dried goods in the bamboo baskets emit a fragrant aroma. Grabbing a handful of these snacks fills the mouth with the unique flavor of the water town. The boats on the river: their deck planks are covered with bamboo screens. The oranges, the tender white radishes, and the deep purple sweet potatoes and yams contrast with the deep brown color of the wooden boats, creating a scene that is akin to moving fields into the center of the river. This is the morning scene in the West Village: the boats function as shops, and the water flows like a bustling street. Even the breeze carries the freshness of fruits and vegetables, transforming the traditional way of life into something ordinary and familiar.

乌镇是被船橹摇醒的，曙色刚浸软檐角的瓦，长篙便划破河雾，摇橹声裹着水汽聚向水市口。水阁的门板“吱呀”卸下，茶馆的铜炉先热了，豆腐摊的热气裹着豆香漫进巷里，接着是烧饼的葱香，炒栗子的暖香。小镇的晨味——煎饺泛着焦脆的边，馄饨浮在骨汤里，小葱一撒，晨露般的鲜气便裹了满碗。茶盏刚温好，船娘的吴语顺着河飘来，水乡的日子，便在这一口鲜、一缕香里，醒得软而热闹。

Wuzhen was awakened by the rhythmic motion of the boat's oars. As the early light just began to soften the tiles at the eaves, long poles pierced through the misty river air, and the sound of the oars mixed with the moisture to converge at the waterfront. The wooden panels of the water pavilion were "creaking" as they were removed, and the copper stove in the teahouse started to heat up first. The steam from the tofu stall mingled with the fragrance of the tofu, spreading into the alleys. Next came the aroma of fried buns, followed by the warm fragrance of roasted chestnuts. The morning scent of the town—pan-fried dumplings with crispy edges, wontons floating in a broth, with a sprinkle of green onions adding a fresh, dew-like quality to each bowl. The teacups had just been warmed, and the boatwoman's Wu dialect floated down the river. The days in this water-laced town were awoken with the taste of freshness and the subtle aroma, creating a relaxed yet lively atmosphere.

秋光漫过瓦棱，我倚在水阁的花窗旁。木格窗棂是旧年的纹路，像被时光浸软的棋局，一格一格框住河面上的云影。檐角的青瓦叠着秋阳，泛着薄而暖的光，几片栾树的叶晃在窗沿，一半橙黄一半青，是季节没缝好的针脚。河水是凝住的绿，把石桥、老屋、晃悠的橹声都浸得温软，连风掠过都带着水汽——是江南独有的、裹着桂香的潮润。那一刻，似乎有一股真气流入心田，至美之感，充盈天地。

The autumn light permeates the ridges of the tiles, and I lean against the flower-framed window of the water pavilion. The wooden lattice work is reminiscent of the patterns from previous years, like a chessboard softened by time, each section framing the cloud shadows on the river's surface. The green tiles at the eaves reflect the autumn sunlight, casting a thin, warm glow. Several leaves of the mulberry tree sway near the window ledge, half orange-yellow and half green, representing the imperfect stitches of the season. The river water appears as a solid green, imbuing the stone bridge, the old houses, and the rhythmic sound of the swaying oar with a soothing warmth. Even the breeze that passes carries a damp, misty quality—a characteristic feature of the region, imbued with the fragrance of osmanthus. At that moment, it seems as if a vital energy flows into the heart, filling the world with a sense of supreme beauty.

《道德经》有言“上善若水”，此非仅书于竹简丝帛的哲理，更是行于烟火人间的真谛。那一汪澄澈碧水，以包容之心滋养万物，以柔婉之态接纳世事。春夏秋冬，经风霜雨雪，始终低吟不疾；日日夜夜，历静喧交替，皆以和颜不争。水之品性，塑造了江南女子的风骨：如水温柔，呵护至亲；如水宁静，打理烟火；如水坚定，无畏困苦。水，既是生命之源，更以品性唤醒人心，升华人格。

The saying in the "Tao Te Ching" that "the highest virtue is like water" is not merely a philosophical concept inscribed on bamboo slips or silk fabric; it embodies the essence of living in harmony with the world. That serene and clear body of water nurtures all things with a spirit of inclusiveness and accepts the vicissitudes of life with a gentle demeanor. Through the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, it endures the trials of wind, frost, rain, and snow, always remaining calm and composed. Day and night, it navigates the transitions between tranquility and activity, maintaining a demeanor of harmony and non-conflict. The nature of water has shaped the character of the women of the Jiangnan region: gentle and nurturing towards loved ones, serene and capable of managing everyday life, and steadfast and unafraid of challenges. Water is not only the source of life but also awakens the human spirit and enhances personal character.

五载之约，千里奔赴。2025年的秋，终赴与乌镇“姐妹花”乌江寨的邀约。踏足此间方懂，何为“一眼即心安”——乌镇浸着江南烟雨的柔，乌江寨藏着黔地山水的灵，恰似久别重逢的姐妹。桥影摇波、灯笼映巷，每一处都熨帖着心底的执念。那些跨越时空距离的惦念，那些辗转反侧的期待，皆在眼前烟火与诗意中圆满，也促成了似水年华系列美篇-舟行篇《一橹摇出两地春》的诞生。

A five-year commitment led to a journey spanning thousands of miles. In the autumn of 2025, I finally fulfilled the invitation from the "sisterly duo" of Wujiang Zha in Wuzhen. Upon arriving, it became clear what it means to feel a sense of peace at first sight – Wuzhen exudes the gentle charm of Jiangnan's misty landscapes, while Wujiang Zha harbors the essence of the mountains and waters of the Qian region. It was as if reuniting with long-lost sisters. The reflections on the bridges, the lanterns illuminating the alleys, each detail resonates with the deep-seated desires in one's heart. The feelings of longing that transcend temporal boundaries, the restless anticipation, all find fulfillment in the harmonious blend of daily life and poetic beauty. This experience led to the creation of the series "Like Water Years" – the "Boat Travel" section, titled "A Single Rudder Brings Spring to Both Places."

乌江寨，同由乌镇团队匠心雕琢。二者皆以水为脉、以桥为媒、以船为韵，氤氲着江南温婉诗意，然乌江寨因熔铸黔北风情，自成一格。二者均以曲河为轴，碧波如镜，小船悠游，两岸建筑映水，漾起灵动画卷。乌镇之水，为江南市河，衔京杭运河浩渺；乌江寨之水，乃乌江支流，含两岸青山碧色，澄澈见底，卵石可数。更有梯田水雾缭绕，搭配音乐水舞秀，融自然水景与现代光影，织就虚实相生的梦幻之境。

Wujiang Zha, meticulously crafted by the team from Wuzhen. Both places are characterized by their connection with water, the role of bridges as intermediaries, and the charm of boats, embodying the gentle and poetic essence of southern China. However, Wujiang Zha stands out due to its unique blend of the local culture of northern Guizhou. Both locations are centered around a winding river, with the water mirroring the surroundings. Small boats glide effortlessly, and the buildings on both banks reflect in the water, creating a dynamic and picturesque scene. The water in Wuzhen is part of the broader network of rivers and canals in southern China, connecting to the vast waterways of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The water in Wujiang Zha, on the other hand, is a tributary of the Wujiang River, characterized by the lush green hills and clear waters that can be seen from below, with pebbles visible beneath the surface. The area is further enhanced by mist-covered terraces and a synchronized water and music performance, blending natural water features with modern lighting effects to create a surreal and immersive experience.

乌镇与乌江寨的桥梁，皆是水乡脉络的关键节点和点睛之笔。它们多为玲珑石桥，与蜿蜒河道、摇曳画舫相映成趣，犹如水乡独有的诗意素描。乌镇古桥，数量繁多且品类齐全，桥身镌刻着岁月沧桑纹路，沉淀着浓郁的烟火气息。乌江寨之桥，则融黔北风情于骨血，风雨桥与小巧石板桥错落其间，常与吊脚楼两两相望相映。穿行其中，既可赏独竹漂的灵动身姿，亦能览灯光秀的璀璨盛景。

The bridge between Wuzhen and Wjiangzhai is both a key node and a brilliant illustration of the water town network. They are mostly beautiful stone bridges, which contrast with winding rivers and wandering painting boats, as if they are poetry drawings unique to the water town. The ancient bridges in Wuzhen are numerous and of all kinds, and the bridges are carved with the lines of the years and have a rich aroma of fireworks. Wujiang Walled Bridge, then into the customs of northern Guizhou Gu Xue, wind and rain bridges and small stone slab bridge scattered in the meantime, often with the Diaojiaolou 22 Xiangying. Throughout the trip, you can both admire the breathtaking attitude of a bamboo float and see the brilliant scenery of a light show.

乌镇与乌江寨，皆以摇橹船为水乡灵韵之载体，乘一叶扁舟游弋其间，亦是体悟水乡风情的核心之法。船行水上，桨声咿呀，如诉岁月悠长，人在舟中，便可沉浸式饱览两岸风光，尽揽水乡雅韵。乌镇的摇橹船，曾为生计之舟，船身厚重稳当，岸边船寮留存，载满烟火记忆。乌江寨的摇橹船，主打游玩之趣，可赏独竹漂，闻山歌对唱；夜游时，灯光与无人机秀交织，尽是别样风情。

Both Wuzhen and Wujiang Zha rely on rowing boats as the carriers of the essence of the water-based landscape. To navigate through these areas on a small, flat boat is also a fundamental way to experience the unique charm of the water-based environment. As the boat glides across the water, the rhythmic sound of the oars creates a sense of timelessness. Being on the boat allows one to fully immerse themselves in the scenery on both sides, fully appreciating the refined charm of the water-based area. The rowing boats in Wuzhen were once used for practical purposes, with sturdy and reliable vessels. The boat sheds along the shore still exist, filled with memories of daily life. The rowing boats in Wujiang Zha are designed primarily for recreational purposes, enabling visitors to enjoy activities such as bamboo rafting and listening to folk songs. During nighttime tours, the interplay of lights and drone shows creates a unique and captivating atmosphere.

秋浸乌江寨时，风是裹着水汽的凉。着一身素色格子旗袍的小女子——站立在摇橹船的船头，橘色油纸伞撑住半肩云影——那抹艳色落进碧水里，倒比两岸吊脚楼的木色更软。船桨咿呀碾开波纹，连带着黔南的山也晃成了朦胧的绿，风里浸着草木的淡香，裹得人连呼吸都轻。远处的风雨桥卧在烟岚里，吊脚楼的飞檐勾着天，船行处，时光慢得像这一河静水，连风都替人收着心事。

During the autumn immersion in the Wujiang Fort, the air was cool and imbued with moisture. A young woman dressed in a plain-colored, checkered cheongsam stood at the bow of the rowing boat, with an orange-colored oil paper umbrella shielding part of her silhouette against the clouds. This vibrant color blended seamlessly into the emerald waters, making it even softer than the wooden tones of the hanging-foot houses on both banks. The boat's oars creaked as they cut through the waves, causing the mountains of Qiannan to appear as a hazy green. The faint fragrance of plants and herbs wafted through the air, making one feel as though even their breathing was lightened. The distant Wind and Rain Bridge lay shrouded in mist, the overhanging eaves of the hanging-foot houses reaching towards the sky. As the boat moved, time seemed to slow down, much like the still waters of this river. Even the wind seemed to carry away the thoughts and concerns of those on board.

船身擦过水草时，带起细碎的响——那是秋虫藏在茎秆里的轻鸣，混着船工竹篙点水的“笃”声，裹进风里往人耳尖钻。旗袍的格纹沾了水汽，软得贴了腰，指尖碰着伞骨晃了晃，竟抖落几点日光碎金，溅在吊脚楼的木窗上。风裹着黔北山水的润，漫过鼻尖时是桂香混着湿土的淡，船行半程，连发梢都沾了层绒绒的凉，抬眼处，山尖浸在云里，像浸在茶里的叶，连时光都泡得温软

As the boat's hull brushed against the aquatic vegetation, delicate sounds were produced—these were the soft chirps of autumn insects hidden within the stems, mingled with the "thud" sound of the bamboo pole used by the boatmen as they maneuvered the vessel through the water. The checkered pattern of the cheongsam was drenched with moisture, making it cling softly to the body. When the fingertips touched the umbrella ribs, they swayed slightly, causing a few flecks of sunlight to fall and splash onto the wooden windows of the shophouse. The breeze carried with it the refreshing scent of the Qiannan mountain waters, blending the fragrance of osmanthus with the damp earthiness. By the halfway point of the journey, even the ends of the hair had been coated with a layer of coolness. Looking up, one could see the peaks of the mountains submerged in clouds, much like tea leaves immersed in water, where even time seemed to become gentle and soothing.

秋意浸满了乌江寨的水，连风都裹着草木的润。青石板级浸着湿意，绿旗袍曳过石面时，恰与桥底的流波撞了个软。着绿旗袍的小女子执团扇立在石上，扇面轻晃，便摇落桥廊下的黄灯笼影——那座老木桥驮着黔北的秋，连廊柱的纹里都浸着水汽，风过处，檐角的铃没响，倒惊得流波里的云影碎了一河。抬眼时，桥栏的木色、山尖的绿、旗袍的翠，全揉进这一湾水里，时光慢得像被流波缠了脚。

The autumn atmosphere permeates the waters of Wujiang Village, even the wind carries the moisture from the plants and trees. The stone steps are damp, and when the green cheongsam passes over them, it gently collides with the flowing water at the base of the bridge. A young woman dressed in green cheongsam holds a fan and stands on the stone steps. The fan's delicate movement causes the yellow lanterns hanging below the bridge to sway—a soft collision between the fan's motion and the flowing water. The green cheongsam-clad girl holds a fan, and as the fan's surface sways, it causes the yellow lantern shadows below the bridge to flutter—the old wooden bridge bears the autumn atmosphere of Qianbei, and even the carvings on the bridge's pillars seem to be imbued with moisture. When the wind passes, the bells at the eaves do not ring, but instead, they startle the ripples in the water, causing the cloud-like shadows to break into fragments across the entire river. Looking up, one can see how the wood color of the bridge railing, the green of the mountain peaks, and the green hue of the cheongsam blend seamlessly into the water. Time seems to slow down as if it is being entangled by the flowing water.

秋阳是淡的，漫过乌江寨的吊楼飞檐，把木色浸得温软。绿水缠石级成弯，身着着绿旗袍的小女子——立在水畔，团扇半开，扇面的银纹映着波影，红穗子垂在风里，和裙摆的褶皱一同轻摆——倒像她才是这秋水里浸出的一茎荷。吊楼的栏柱浸着潮意，苔痕爬满石径，风裹着草木的湿香漫过来时，她抬腕把扇面遮在鬓边，眼尾弯出一点笑，连睫毛的影子都落在水面，让这秋的柔，又深了一层。

The autumn sunlight is gentle, spreading over the ornate eaves of the pavilions in the Wujiang Village, imbuing the wooden structures with a soft warmth. The green water meanders around the stone steps, forming a gentle curve. A young woman dressed in a green cheongsam stands by the water's edge, holding a half-open fan. The silver patterns on the fan surface reflect the ripples of the water. The red tassels dangle in the breeze, swaying gently along with the folds in her skirt—it seems as though she herself is a lotus stem emerging from this autumn water. The railing posts of the pavilions are imbued with a damp feel, and moss covers the stone paths. When the wind carries the damp scent of plants and herbs, she lifts her wrist to shield the fan from her hair, her eyes twinkling with a hint of amusement. Even the shadows of her eyelashes fall onto the water, adding another layer of the autumn's gentle charm.

木楼叠在山阶上，像浸了墨的书简——深灰瓦檐勾着翘角，雕花窗棂里漏出几缕烟火。新漆的木栏沾着潮露，老藤从吊脚楼缝里钻出来缠上廊柱，一半是古寨的温沉，一半是秋光的清润。船娘的苗绣围裙沾着桂香，竹篓里的糖炒栗子壳正暖，岸边阿婆蹲在青石板上剥新收的糯谷，巷口的酸汤鱼锅正沸，木窗里漏出的辣子香裹着秋阳，连风掠过吊脚楼的吱呀声，都像浸了糯米酒的软。

The wooden structure juts out from the mountain path, resembling a piece of ink-stained scroll paper—deep-gray eaves with curved corners, with a few wisps of smoke emerging from the intricately carved wooden window frames. The newly painted wooden railing is damp with moisture, while old vines have slit their way through the gaps in the hanging-foot structure, intertwining with the pillars, creating a blend of the tranquility of an ancient stronghold and the refreshing clarity of autumn light. The floral embroidery on the boat woman's apron is infused with the fragrance of osmanthus, the sugar-fried chestnut shells in the bamboo basket are warm to the touch. An elderly woman is crouching by the shore, peeling newly harvested glutinous rice grains from the stone slab. In the alleyway, the pot of sour fish soup is bubbling, and the spicy aroma escaping through the wooden windows mingles with the autumn sunlight. Even the creaking sound of the hanging-foot structure as the wind passes through seems to be imbued with the softness of rice wine.

乌江寨的河道蜿蜒铺展，水流顺着山势漾开舒缓的韵律，两岸青山如黛，把吊脚楼的木色轮廓、飞翘檐角都浸在水里。这里没有江南水巷的窄仄精巧，反倒凭着黔北山野的底色，透出一种开阔的苍茫。站在石级上深情回望，一边惊叹自然造物的鬼斧神工，一边感念乌镇团队的巧思：没有刻意雕琢，只是顺着山水的脾性铺陈烟火，既留着这方天地的山野本真，又表达乌镇团队的诗意温柔。

The riverbed of Wujiang Zha meanders gracefully, with the water flowing in a soothing rhythm that follows the contours of the mountains. The green hills on both banks create a picturesque scene, with the wooden outlines of the hanging-foot-style buildings and the elegantly curved eaves all submerged in the water. Unlike the narrow and intricate waterways found in the Jiangnan region, this area boasts a more expansive and rugged landscape. Standing on the stone steps, one can reflect deeply, marveling at the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature while appreciating the ingenious design of the Wuzhen team: without any deliberate embellishments, the scene unfolds organically in harmony with the natural characteristics of the mountains and water. This approach not only preserves the authentic essence of the natural surroundings but also conveys the poetic and gentle spirit of the Wuzhen team.

绿水青山托举文脉，保护传承赋能创新。乌镇团队以这一哲理思维深耕文旅，打造的产品风靡国内外，尤其圈粉青年一代，一举成为全国古镇营收、运营、管理、好评“四料顶流”。这份成绩，浸透着团队全员的心血汗水与赤诚热爱。团队核心陈向宏董事长更是以身作则：既高瞻远瞩设计宏伟蓝图，又亲力亲为雕琢建筑细节，于他而言，唯有“时间备份”，方能承载对乌镇的极致追求。

The green waters and lush mountains support the cultural heritage, protecting and preserving it while empowering innovation. The team in Wuzhen has deeply explored the integration of culture and tourism based on this philosophical approach, resulting in products that have gained popularity both domestically and internationally, particularly among the younger generation. This achievement has made Wuzhen a leading example in terms of revenue, operation, management, and positive reviews for ancient towns across the country. This success is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and genuine passion of the entire team. The team's core leader, Chairman Chen Xianghong, exemplifies this approach: he not only envisions a grand blueprint with a long-term perspective but also personally engages in refining the architectural details. For him, only a "backup of time" can truly embody the highest aspirations for Wuzhen.

乌镇的橹声是软的，摇碎石桥下的菱花影；乌江寨的橹声是润的，荡开吊楼边的秋波痕。这同出一脉的船，载着乌镇团队复刻时光的匠心水意，摇动来往游客激活时光的追忆线索。乌镇的檐角挂着江南的雨，乌江寨的石径映着黔地的云，却都在摇橹声里漾成了心头的春。原来不管是江南的巷，还是山间的寨，不管是浙北的温婉，还是黔地的灵秀，因着一脉匠心的雕琢，那些被波纹裹住、橹声配乐的温柔，从来都是连接古今、不分南北的团圆。

The sound of the oars in Wuzhen is soft, causing the delicate reflections of water lilies beneath the stone bridges to shatter; the sound of the oars in Wujiang Zha is soothing, spreading the gentle ripples along the edges of the hanging pavilions. These boats, all part of the same lineage, carry the meticulous craftsmanship and poetic essence of Wuzhen, stirring the memories of visitors and activating the threads of time. The eaves of Wuzhen are adorned with the rain of the Jiangnan region, while the stone paths in Wujiang Zha reflect the clouds of the Qian region. Yet, both are transformed into a sense of spring within the hearts of those who hear the soothing sound of the oars. It turns out that whether it's the narrow alleys of the Jiangnan region or the secluded villages in the mountains, whether it's the gentle charm of the northern Zhejiang region or the ethereal beauty of the southern Qian region, due to the meticulous craftsmanship, the tender melodies accompanied by the sound of the oars have always been a unifying force that bridges the past and the present, transcending geographical boundaries.
