金泽古镇位于上海市青浦区西南部，靠近沪苏浙交界一带，是一座因桥、河与街巷而生的江南水乡。古镇的历史可以追溯到宋代，至今仍留有多座不同年代的古桥。河道穿过街巷，老房子沿水而建，日常生活也在这些古老的空间里继续发生。
那天抵达金泽时，已经接近傍晚。与此前去过的芦墟相比，这里的商业气息似乎更浓一些：街道更整洁，店铺也显得精致。不过，走进巷子深处，仍能遇见生活在这里的人。有人买菜归来，有孩子在院落里玩耍，也有一只猫在旧沙发上睡得正香——直到被我的镜头打扰。那些细碎而平常的场景，让这座小镇显得舒适、平静，也很真实。
ENGLISH
Jinze Ancient Town lies in the southwestern part of Qingpu District, Shanghai, near the borders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Like many towns in the Jiangnan region, it grew around its waterways, bridges, and narrow streets. Its history dates back to the Song dynasty, and several old bridges from different periods remain. Canals wind between the lanes, houses line the water, and everyday life continues within this historic setting.
I arrived in Jinze in the late afternoon. Compared with Luxu, which I had visited earlier, Jinze felt a little more commercial. The streets were tidier, and the shops looked more polished. Yet, deeper in the lanes, I still came across the people who live here: someone returning from the market, children playing in a courtyard, and a cat sleeping soundly on an old sofa—until my camera disturbed its nap. These small, ordinary moments gave the town a comfortable, unhurried, and lived-in feeling.
