Water town in Jiang Nan

Jiangnan district is famous for its graceful beauty of nature and Hui Style Architecture. That is, there are many carvings and decorations, but very few colored paintings. The walls are made of white tiles and gray, and the wood is brown-black or brown-red. Compared with the gorgeous colors of the north, it is very elegant.

Since the Western Jin Dynasty, there have been many wars in the north. In order to seek peace, people have fled to the south. This brought sufficient human resources and advanced science and technology culture to the south, and this area became more culturally prosperous. Colleges and private schools were popularized, and education was common. As a result of the emphasis on teaching and writing, the citizens in Jiang Nan are more educated and have a higher level of education.
