Exploring the Artistic and Literary Roots of Wuzhen: Birthplaces of Mu Xin & Mao Dun

Wuzhen, located in Zhejiang Province, is the birthplace of two renowned figures in Chinese art and literature: Mao Dun and Mu Xin. What kind of environment nurtures such talent? A visit to Zhejiang is a must to find out! The ancestors of Wuzhen lived by cultivating mulberry trees and raising silkworms. The high pole boat is a traditional folk performance where a bamboo pole is erected on a boat, and performers climb to the top to mimic the actions of silkworms spinning cocoons, praying for a good harvest. Wuzhen is an ancient water town in the Jiangnan region, a spiritual haven sought by poets and scholars. I love the famous quotes of Mao Dun and Mu Xin, which inspire me to seize the moment, travel happily, and live joyfully... Mao Dun's famous quote: 'Let the past be the past, never look back; wait for the future to come, don't daydream; we only grasp the present, using our current ideals to do what we should do.' Mu Xin's famous quote: 'Why does one come to this world? To love the most lovable, the best sounding, the best looking, and the best tasting.'
