南浔区图书馆 内容
南浔位于中国的太湖之滨，是位于丝绸之府的湖州市东部的一个古镇，始建于1252年的南宋时期，建镇之始便富甲江南，到了近代（1840—1949年），更由于辑里丝的盛名，而成为一个星光灿烂、锦绣辉煌的江南雄镇。
南浔生产的辑里丝，在1851年英国伦敦第一次世界博览会上获得奖牌、奖状以及评委和各界的高度赞赏；南浔以经营辑里丝而形成了一个以“四象八牛七十二黄金狗”为代表的丝商群体（用动物大小比喻财富的多少）；以开明的思想、开拓的精神和开放的胸怀，在上海开埠时期，成为中国民族工业发展的先驱，并以极大的财富支持了中国的辛亥革命；南浔可谓经济繁荣、文化昌盛，有名人辈出、走向世界的“中国近代第一镇”之美誉。
而园林建设方面，南浔开启了私人园林西化意境之先声，创造出了一种中西合璧风格的新典型，继承了崇文重教的传统，并将藏书、雅集文化充实于具有田园及乡土风韵的园林之中。
本书的编纂就是对上述内容经初步调查研究而写成，希望得到各位方家、读者的指正！
Foreword
Nanxun is an ancient town beside Tai Lake and in east of the Huzhou City, the home to Jili Silk production. It was first built in 1252 during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), and upon its initial establishment was the wealthiest town in the Jiangnan area. In the modem era (1840-1949), it became a splendid and imposing town because of the great reputation of Jili Silk.
Jili Silk from Nanxun was awarded and highly praised for its quality by the Juries in the first World EXPO held in London in 1851, and won a golden medal. Through the production of Jili Silk, there emerged a group of silk merchants represented by 'four elephants, eight bulls, and seventy-two dogs' (their wealth was measured according to the sizes of the animals).
With enlightened thinking, pioneering spirit, and open mind, these merchants were the forerunners of the development of national industry of China when at the time Shanghai was opened for foreign trade. They also with considerable amount of money supported the Xinhai Revolution which broke out in 1911. It could be said that Nanxun was the 'number one' town of modem China, which was economically prosperous, culturally rich, with a good many renowned individuals, and at the same time opened to the whole world.
In garden making in particular, it was in Nanxun that initiated the westernization of private gardens, created the style with a conglomeration of culture of the East and the West, inherited the tradition of advocating literacy and education, and incorporated book collection and literati gathering in the gardens with a rural flavor.
This book is a result of preliminary investigation and research on the above issues. It is hoped that comments or criticisms will be received from any specialists or readers.
