嘉興南湖，一碧千頃，浩浩蕩蕩。作為景點(diǎn)，南湖曾以煙雨樓最負(fù)盛名，明代大戲曲家湯顯祖數(shù)次來(lái)嘉興，留下了“年來(lái)更夢(mèng)誰(shuí)邊好，煙雨樓西看石帆”的詩(shī)句。

然而今天的人們，說(shuō)起嘉興，最先想到的卻是南湖紅船。因?yàn)橛幸蝗耗贻p人，在1921年南湖的一條游船上開(kāi)啟了一段嶄新的歷史。這條見(jiàn)證了中國(guó)歷史上開(kāi)天辟地的大事變的游船，被后來(lái)的人們稱為紅船。百年烽煙早已散盡，滄海桑田換了人間，而紅船的精神在這個(gè)大地上綿延不絕。

The Red Boat of the South Lake comes to mind when Jiaxing is mentioned. A pleasure boat on the South Lake witnessed the birth of the Communist Party of China in 1921， setting in motion a series of epoch-making changes which eventually led to the birth of the Peoples Republic of China. The pleasure boat has long since been called the Red Boat. It signifies the heroic fight Chinese people waged under the leadership of the CPC against all the humiliations， wars， injustice， feudalism， poverty. It glorifies all the epoch-making changes that have transformed China. The spirit of the Red Boat will be kept alive forever.
