有人讲上海的南京路是“商业第一街”,说的是它的繁荣,它在全国商业界的价值之重要。有人讲北京的长安街是“中华第一街”,说的是它是全国人民的政治中心,它在华夏子孙心目中的突出地位。而我却认为“屯溪老街”是全国“明清第一街”,因为它保持着明代、清代的集镇特点,保持着数百年前江南集镇商贸风貌,且因保存 Some people say Nanjing Road in Shanghai is “the first commercial street”, saying that its prosperity, its importance in the business value of the country. Some people say that Chang’an Avenue in Beijing is the “First Street in China,” saying that it is the political center of the people throughout the country and that it is prominent in the eyes of Chinese descendants. And I think “Tunxi Old Street” is the “First Street in Ming and Qing Dynasties,” because it maintains the characteristics of a market town in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and maintains the trade and business features of the southern town hundreds of years ago.
