The pride of Beiliu people

The hometown of Tonggu King

Known as the "king of bronze drums", the bronze drum of Beiliu Shuichong Temple has a surface diameter of 165 cm and a residual weight of more than 300 kilograms, which is called "the best in the world". And this "king of bronze drums" is the product of Tongshi Ridge. The excavation of King of Bronze Drum has a legendary experience. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a farmer in Shike Township, Beiliu, who went up the mountain to cut firewood and grass and tried his best to insert it vertically into the ground. However, when he heard a strange sound in the soil, the pole could not be inserted, so he pushed the soil away and suddenly a huge bronze drum appeared. The villagers thought it was an artifact, and Mrs. Jing Wei Xian, the sixth lady near Taiwan Province Island, made sacrifices against time. Later, Taiwan Province Island was flooded into the temple, and the rope was broken, so he stood at the bodhisattva in the temple. Every winter, I have the opportunity to go to Shuichong Temple to worship drums and pray. Bronze drums played, mountains echoed and valleys echoed, and villagers gathered from all directions to offer sacrifices to God. This "King of Bronze Drum" is now on display in Guangxi Museum and has been on display twice in Beijing. The audience was amazed and won a reputation for Guangxi and made Beiliu people proud!

The hometown of litchi in China

As far as southeast Guangxi is concerned, litchi will not mature until the summer solstice. After the litchi peel is peeled off, you can see a layer of red on the skin from the shell, that is, red is on the shell. It's really not easy to eat litchi in the north. At this time, the green leaves of litchi trees are clusters of red, which is a unique scenery in the south. Yang Guifei loves lychee, and she has to send it from thousands of miles away. The taste hasn't changed. She has arrived in the capital. Dozens of miles from Chang 'an, it should be Lingnan. Why does the imperial concubine love litchi alone? According to official records, the imperial concubine is a northerner, so it is difficult to find out. In recent years, people in Rongxian County, Guangxi claimed that Yang Guifei was an aunt in Rongxian County, which is adjacent to Beiliu, a famous litchi producing area. In this case, it is reasonable to say that "the world of mortals rides a princess, and no one knows that litchi is coming". Beiliu people are very picky about eating litchi. You can eat as much as you want with the admission ticket. People in the industry should always be flat, soft, thin, big and round, and the best is cinnamon, meaty and small.
