江苏昆山：先贤故里 昆曲发源地 · 千灯古镇

千灯古镇位于苏州昆山城东南18公里处，距今已有2500年的历史。                                                                  既然叫千灯，自然与灯分不开。千灯素有“金千灯”之誉。灯乃光明的象征，古镇设有一个集灯之大成的艺术馆，将相思长廊和千灯馆用灯点缀，在三里石板街悬挂各色花灯，呈现出千灯齐明，万家灯火的景象。              ----                                                                                                                                                                千灯是一座历史文化古镇，也是明末清初大思想家，文学家顾炎武的故乡。其名言“天下兴亡   匹夫有责“，不知曾激励和鼓舞了多少的爱国人士。                                                                                                             ----                                                                                                                                                               千灯是昆曲的发源地，昆曲创始人顾坚的故乡，在这里经常可以看到精彩的昆曲表演。                               ----                                                                                                                                                               千灯有一条清幽的石板街，南北贯通，成百脚状，全长3华里，主干道800米，由2072块花岗岩铺成，始建于南宋，是江南古镇最长，保存最完好的石板街。                                                                                                   千灯自古钟灵毓秀，人文荟萃，                                                                                                                        值得你倘佯其中，细细品味。

千灯古镇的”镇标“秦峰塔，建于南朝。                                                                                                       系砖木结构，塔高38·7米，塔身修长，有”美人塔“之称。                                                                              常常是人未走进古镇，已见塔身。

                                                                                                                                                                       天还早早的，我们就来到古镇，很多店铺还未开门。                                                                                         只见古街狭窄，屋檐相对，                                                                                                                               一条清幽湿漉漉的石板路，将我们引进古镇。

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              千灯古镇是昆曲发源地

千灯馆是2005年在北京收藏家殷小林夫妻的支持下，古镇将”李宅“辟为”千灯草堂“。                                展陈了从原始社会到商周时期，从秦汉到晋 隋 唐 宋 元 明 清民国近代的各类古灯，共1133盞。                     真所谓”历十二朝，凝聚人类智慧，经五千年，熠射天地光明“。
