Introduction
Xitang is a live ancient water town located in Jiashan County, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, China. With its more than one thousand years of history, this town became one of the most famous watery towns in Southern China, which is known as “Venice of the East”. As most of the well- preserved architectural groups constructed during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is the best place for people to relax for a few days and taste the simple and unsophisticated folkway. Xitang, like a typical Chinese southern girl, soft and serene, is waiting for more and more people to come and give them rousing memories.

    Ah Xian (pronounced `ar see-arn') had friends who were jailed because of their involvement in the protests. The following year he sought political asylum in Australia.

    Da ming yi tong zhi (Gazetteer of the Unity of the Great Ming), a gazetteer which was completed in 1456, had already described Jiaxing as an affluent and prosperous area, where “all soil in the Wu region is supreme fertile. (Jiaxing has the most fertile land in the Wu region.

    The Donghu are mentioned by Sima Qian as already existing in Inner Mongolia north of the state of Yan in 699-632 BC. Mentions in the Lost Book of Zhou (Yizhoushu) and the Shanhaijing indicate the Donghu were also active during the Shang dynasty (1600–1046 BC). The Mongolic-speaking Xianbei formed part of the Donghu confederation, but had earlier times of independence, as evidenced by a mention in the Guoyu ("晉語八" section) which states that during the reign of King Cheng of Zhou (reigned 1042–1021 BC) the Xianbei came to participate at a meeting of Zhou subject-lords at Qiyang (岐阳) (now Qishan County) but were only allowed to perform the fire ceremony under the supervision of Chu (楚), since they were not vassals by covenant (诸侯). The Xianbei chieftain was appointed joint guardian of the ritual torch along with Xiong Yi. These early Xianbei came from the nearby Zhukaigou culture (2200-1500BC) in the Ordos Desert where maternal DNA corresponds to Mongolic Daurs and Evenks (Tungusified Xianbei). The Zhukaigou Xianbei (part of the Ordos culture of Inner Mongolia and northern Shaanxi) had trade relations with the Shang dynasty (1600-1046BC). The Zhou clan lived near the Beidi (who included the Xianbei) for 14…
