Shuangqiao can best reflect the charm of the ancient town, with clear water and green trees, and boats crossing the bridge. By the bridge, there are teachers and students of the Academy of Fine Arts all the year round, who concentrate on sketching, while the photographer picks up the camera and chooses the best shooting angle. Seen from the side of Chenghe River, the key-shaped double bridge together with the Taiping Bridge, a stone arch bridge in Qing Dynasty not far away, can photograph three ancient bridges on Chenghe River with one lens.
There is a touching story about Shuangqiao.
1In the spring of 984, Chen Yifei, a young painter who worked in Shanghai oil painting sculpture studio and went to study in the United States, went to Zhouzhuang to sketch. At that time, the road from Kunshan to Zhouzhuang had not been repaired, so we had to take the waterway. He borrowed a boat and went to Zhouzhuang by way of Chen's tomb. Because the time is too short, Chen Yifei can't take the method of sketching one by one on the drawing board, so he can only use photography as the most convenient and easy way to record Zhouzhuang. He wandered around for a week with a camera and a travel bag full of Kodak film. He reluctantly left after all the film in his travel bag was taken.
Memories of his hometown are one of the gains of his trip to the water town.
Chen Yifei made several oil paintings with the scenery of Zhouzhuang water town as the theme, all of which are realistic and have no deformation, which fully embodies the charm of Jiangnan water town. A painting depicting Shuangqiao, named "Memories of Hometown", shows the deep attachment of overseas travelers to the motherland in each stroke. Memories of Hometown, together with his other 37 works, was exhibited in Hammer Gallery owned by armand hammer, Chairman of American Western Oil Company in new york in the autumn of 10, causing a sensation. In particular, those works created by oil painting and traditional ink painting techniques in China depict the small bridges and flowing water in Gusu and the rural scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, bringing the American audience to a mythical situation. Art News, an authoritative American magazine, published a review entitled "Dare to Challenge Western Trends", which specifically introduced Chen Yifei's artistic achievements. 1984165438+10, when armand hammer visited China, he bought the oil painting "Memories of My Hometown" as a gift to Comrade Deng Xiaoping, which was widely praised.

Zhouzhuang is the place where Chen Yifei's dream began. Later, he came to Zhouzhuang more than once to participate in the tourism festival held in Zhouzhuang, and forged a deep friendship with the people of Zhouzhuang.
Every year, the United Nations selects six outstanding painters from all over the world and asks them to design and draw exquisite patterns for the first day covers of six sets of stamps issued by the United Nations Post Office every year. 1985, Chen Yifei also won this honor, and he chose the works with the theme of Zhouzhuang, an ancient water town. Since May 1985, this kind of first day cover has been sold at United Nations Headquarters and United Nations agencies in Geneva and Vienna, and it is very popular among stamp collectors and people from all walks of life. Through the propaganda of the news media, Zhouzhuang Town became famous.

First day covers are issued around the country with the theme of Zhouzhuang scenery. The design of the first first day cover was an oil painting "Memories of Hometown". The second design of the Japanese seal is the ancient town water lane. Several boats were quietly moored on the river covered with morning fog. The house with blue tiles and white walls is built by water, and an arch bridge can be seen in the distance. The 900-year-old water town is described as far-reaching in artistic conception.
Shuangqiao is two common stone bridges. Artists make it glow with brilliance, and it attracts more artists with moving brilliance. 1996 10 in St. Petersburg, Russia, leonid, an oil painter from phuket village, and four other oil painters got up and went to Zhouzhuang. This old man, who is known as "Pavel Kochakin in the painting world", is facing the double bridge shaped like a key, holding a brush with his lost elbow, and drawing the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River one by one. He said excitedly, "everything I see is like a dream!" " If I have to describe it, this is the little Venice of China! "
Chen Fuli, a Hong Kong photographer, braved the continuous spring rain to come to Zhouzhuang to attend the International Tourism Photography Festival. Early in the morning, at dawn, the 80-year-old man hurried to Shuangqiao, constantly choosing the location and taking many precious shots from different angles. He was too busy to eat breakfast. Two days later, early in the morning, the old photographer who only slept for four or five hours came to Shuangqiao early, raised his camera and said to the reporter who came to interview, "Zhouzhuang is really beautiful and very good. I like it very much. I will come again in the future ... "
