　　绍兴是中国着名的历史悠久的城市之一。大量的杰出学士、名人比如大禹、鲁迅，诞生、居住于此。这座城市有“名士之乡”的美誉，也是春秋时期（公元前770-476）越国所在地，当时的越国繁盛富饶。得益于悠久的历史，这座古城不像一些现代城市那样浮华、空洞，这里最常见是一种和平与静谧感。

Shaoxing is one of the famous historical cities in China. Numerous accomplished scholars or figures were born or lived here such as Yu the Great in the far ancient China and the famous writer Lu Xun in modern times. This city thus boasts the title of 'City of Personages.' It was also the seat of the ancient Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC-476 BC) and quite prosperous during that time. Owing to its long history, this old city reveals less vanity and tinsel than some modern metropolis. What's commonly seen and felt here is a kind of leisurely and peaceful ambience.
