One of the Appreciation of Ancient Town's Beautiful Literature: Charming Ancient Town
Shangli Ancient Town is not the most perfect ancient town in China, but its charm always makes people explore and intoxicated.
Before I learned about the ancient town, it was purely for the sake of the ancient town. The ancient town was originally a post station of the Sichuan-Tibet Tea Horse Road and the Southern Silk Road. Coincidentally, on a sunny day in midsummer, I finally came to this thousand-year-old town, and what was displayed in front of me was a bustling scene of traffic, crowds and businessmen everywhere. Antique buildings show the wisdom and cleverness of ancient people.
After consulting the information about Shangli ancient town, I was more deeply infected by her cultural connotation. Shangli Ancient Town is located in Ya 'an, Sichuan, with famous mountains and Qionglai in the east and Lushan and Ya 'an in the west. It is an important post station of the oldest Southern Silk Road in China. Shangli lives in the angle where two small rivers meet. Financial resources? What was the original name of this ancient town? Rope? It means a post station on the ancient road, which is one of the checkpoints leading to the outside world in Bashu Plain. As early as the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, merchants crossed Shangli from Ya 'an, Sichuan, passed through Shao Tong, Qujing, Dali, Baoshan and Tengchong in Yunnan, left Dehong, entered Myanmar, Thailand and finally reached India and the Middle East. This was the earliest international passage opened by our ancestors. Shangli was an ethnic gathering area in the early period, and the Bashu ethnic group was mainly born and raised in this area. The Qiang people in Tsing Yi are dominant. From the end of Ming Dynasty to the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the people of Guzhen lived here, with a growing population and increasingly prosperous economy, so they were renamed Yang, Han, Chen, Xu and Zhang. Wujiakou
During the War of Liberation and the Long March of 1935, the Red Fourth Front Army was stationed here for half a year to fight to the death with the Kuomintang reactionaries.
After liberation, according to the flow direction of Longxi River, the towns where the upper reaches are located are classified as Shangli. Shangli ancient town has been frozen since then.
Looking back at history, there are still many wild dreams left by Shanghai to mankind, which makes people feel secular and more impressed by the courage and wisdom of their ancestors. There are ancients before, and newcomers after, and people will always fall into the sea of Wang Yang in history.
What is more admirable about Shangli ancient town is its natural environment and architectural style. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains in the east, north and west, and rivers and streams in the east, south and west. The highest elevation of Shanhei Yanping is 1725m, and the lowest elevation is 905m. These mountains are densely forested. Ancient poems? Two water mirrors, two bridges and a rainbow? This is the general description of the ancient town of Shangli by the ancients.
The architectural pattern of the ancient town is Ming and Qing style, which reflects the spatial characteristics of residential buildings. All the houses are made of wood, and the buildings are patchwork. The streets are paved with stone slabs, and there are shops on both sides. You can imagine the prosperity of the ancient town. The residential compound is based on? Hmm? Zigzag courtyard building, the whole building is carved with beams and painted buildings, flying pavilions and flowing Dan, hollowed out and carved, and the music is wonderful.
Bridge is always the main theme of Shangli ancient town. In ancient times, a bridge was necessary because it was sandwiched between two rivers? Road? . * * * * There are more than 10 stone bridges in the ancient town, and the flood bridge is generally used as the river crossing channel. But once the flood rises, the river overflows the bridge deck and it is still impassable, so there is a bridge. Erxian Bridge? The eight stone arch bridges represented by stone arch bridges show the great wisdom of our ancestors.
? Erxian Bridge? Longxi River, located about 200m west of the ancient town, is a single-hole stone arch bridge with a length of 15m, a width of 5m, a height of 12m and a span of 19m. The bridge deck is paved with stone slabs. According to historical records, Erxian Bridge was built in the early Qing Dynasty. The first two bridges were destroyed by floods, so they were rebuilt in the 41st year of Qing Dynasty (AD 1776). Legend has it that when the bridge was built, it was pointed out by experts that dragons living in the river wandered at will and caused floods, which led to the bridge being washed away. So when it was built this time, the dragon heads and tails were carved on both sides of the bridge. Zhenlong? It means to press the dragon under the pier to avoid flooding. According to legend, celebrities from nearby counties came to congratulate the bridge on the day it was completed. After the banquet, people came to the bridgehead to name the bridge, but two beggars sat at the bridgehead and stopped the people who stepped on the bridge. Everyone asked the beggar to get out of the way, but the beggar just wouldn't let him. In the process of pushing and pulling, the beggar fell into the water, and two big stones appeared in the water. Everyone realized that this man was not a beggar, but two immortals, so the bridge was named like this? Erxian Bridge? . Miraculously, Erxian Bridge has been built for the third time in a century and a half, and no flood has washed it away.
Gao Qiao was built in Qingganlong 14 (A.D. 1749), and the rice market in Shangli ancient town was built at both ends of the bridge to facilitate the Chen family to sell rice. Gao Qiao is a three-roll stone arch bridge, and there are walkways at the east and west ends under the bridge, so both the bridge and the bridge can pass, so it was called the "three-roll stone arch bridge" in Qing Dynasty? Overpass? .
Erxian Bridge and Gao Qiao are both symbols of the wisdom of the ancestors in Shangli Ancient Town. After thousands of years, the stone arch bridge witnessed the prosperity of the ancient town and made us feel the wonders left on the bridge deck. Staring at the bridge and the surrounding mountains, fields and ancient buildings, the objects on the bridge are reflected in the water, forming a natural picture, allowing you to see the architectural culture of the ancient town from the height of no ego for no reason.
In Shangli ancient town, the most desirable fear is the tower and archway of the ancient town. Wenfeng Pagoda and stupa; Double filial piety archway, IX stone archway; Han Family Courtyard and White Horse Spring. Let tourists always look at things and sigh. These well-preserved monuments not only show the profound cultural connotation of the ancient town, but also record the ancient town's humanistic harmony for thousands of years.
According to legend, in order to thank nuns and wise men for their kindness, Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty ordered all famous mountains in China to build towers to worship the benefactor, the Buddhist relic.
The ninth stone archway records the history of Chen Jiajiu's residence in Zhou Dynasty in Qing Dynasty, with a population of more than 1,000. Known as the largest family of the Han nationality, it was established twice by the court to show social harmony.
The Shuangxiao archway, built in the 19th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, recorded the story of two Han women in Shangli ancient town in the Qing Dynasty who were loyal, filial and righteous. After their husbands died in battle, their elders advised them to remarry, but the two women always obeyed the feudal society? One-sided Xiuxun, in the Han family, insisted on filial piety to the elders and raised the younger generation to death, so he moved the court and the emperor. Imperial edict? Repair the Han family? Double filial piety? Stone archway and archway are located beside the ancient tea-horse road to warn the world that this is a model for the world.
Shuangxiao archway has now become a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in Sichuan. The archway structure is four columns, three rooms, twelve wings and many ridges. The decorative patterns and inscribed couplets on the stone tablet workshop are simple and natural, beautifully carved and dexterous. Yang Wei, a bird and beast, stands on the stone square, and a series of dramatic scenes are displayed between the painted walls, which is magnificent and can be called a masterpiece of architecture.
As for the legend of White Horse Spring, people who have been to Shangli Town for sightseeing have to be impressed. White Horse Spring was founded in the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, located beside the beautiful ancient road of the Southern Silk Road and connected with Tiantai Mountain. Guanyin, which is carved by huge stones in the temple, and the ancient wells dug in the Tang Dynasty are well preserved. In the Ming Dynasty, there were bell pavilions, zhaobi and carved animals. Stone carving incense burner, etc. This spring is one of the top ten unique thermostatic gorge springs in China. Named after the sound of horseshoes can be heard at the ebb and flow of the tide, this spring was sealed on the main road in Song and Yuan Dynasties. Hirozawa? .
White Horse Spring is inexhaustible all year round, and strings of pearl-like bubbles can be seen from the bottom of the pool at any time. So it was also called in the Qing Dynasty? Pearl fountain? Is there still an inscription by Huang, the magistrate of Yazhou in Qing Dynasty? Pearl fountain? stone tablet
Legend has it that White Horse Spring turned out to be just a pool of water. Tang Priest went to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures and passed by White Horse Spring. Tang Priest went to worship in the temple. Bai waited outside the temple. Because of thirst, he drank this spring, which is connected with the East China Sea. White saw the dragon king and worshipped, so Spring got up and stood up. After the Tang Priest and his party left, the local monks were amazed, so they built a temple around the spring and changed their names? White Horse Spring? At present, on the incense burner of Baima Temple, the relief with Tang Priest as the content is well preserved.
Ding Xuan (A.D. 1 165), the first year of the Song trunk road, suffered from drought in southwest Sichuan for three consecutive years. Officials and people from nearby counties went to Baima Temple to beg for rain. It happened that the spring pool was at high tide, and then the storm and dew fell from the sky, saving one side of the people. So the state and county officials played the court and named this spring? Hirozawa? . Legend has it that Guanyin Bodhisattva happened to pass by here at high tide in White Horse Spring. Seeing that people here were suffering from drought and begging for rain, she was merciful and poured water from a clean bottle to drop manna for three days. A drop of water fell on White Horse Spring, causing the climax of White Horse Spring. Later generations learned that it was a bodhisattva. In order to thank Guanyin Bodhisattva, Shangli people used this spring to raise funds to build the Guanyin Hall, carved Guanyin statues on rocks and renamed it this spring? Guanyin spring? As a souvenir. The well-preserved White Horse Temple is the only building with spring water in the Hall of Buddhist Heroes in China.
The prosperity of Shangli ancient town can be seen from the water mill standing on the edge of the ancient town. This mill, built in the Ming Dynasty, has been well preserved to this day. It is a symbol of the ancient town people's ample food and clothing. The water mill grinds out not only human food, but also the years of polishing and recording the history of the ancient town!

Tasting these foods will make you feel the taste and sweetness of life.
All kinds of beads, Jin Sinan wood carving crafts make tourists fondle admiringly. The ancient town is also the origin of golden nanmu. In a document, I learned that there are gold threads in nanmu in Jin Sinan, and its wood will not rot for thousands of years, and it will shine under the light. Since the Qin dynasty, it has been used as imperial wood, so-called? Guo Mu? The wood in Jin Sinan is wet, not cool in winter and not hot in summer. The king of cork? The title of. Wearing Jin Sinan ornaments for a long time has the effects of relaxing muscles and activating collaterals, calming the heart and nourishing the spirit, and living in Nanxiang House for a long time can prolong life.
No wonder the main road of Shangli Ancient Town, which stood on the South Silk Road for thousands of years, has never been exhausted. Shangli ancient town has been destined to be a battleground and pass for military strategists since ancient times. Especially during the Long March of the Red Army during the modern liberation war, the Red Fourth Front Army and the Red Front Army joined forces to station troops here, which strengthened the strength of the Red Army and won an all-round victory in the liberation war. Shangli ancient town contributed a lot.

It is this simplicity that makes Shangli ancient town more attractive and brings more thinking and pleasure to tourists. It is this simplicity that makes Shangli ancient town like a wonderful flower, blooming in the appreciation of the world?
Appreciation of the beautiful prose describing the ancient town Part II: How much do you remember about the feelings of the ancient town?
Since I went to Suzhou more than ten years ago, I swam through the gardens, wandered over the mountain ponds, and gathered in Shenxian Street, I have been deeply infatuated with the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, loving the old trees, loving the faint crows, and loving the loss that is both ancient and modern.
So, I almost traveled all over the streets of Jiangnan ancient town. From Zhao Jialou to Qibao, to Nanxiang, to Sijing, to Fengjing, Kanazawa, Li Antang and Zhujiajiao, to Qiandeng, Jinxi, Tongli, Zhouzhuang, Xitang, Wuzhen and Huishan. Walking in these ancient towns with similar feelings, we often forget what happened today and what happened today. After a long time, I always feel a little more complicated.
Ancient towns can make people forget time. What flows away is the years, leaving behind the history. The footsteps of years are light, but the imprint of history is heavy.
I like ancient towns because I want to appreciate the physical features and humanistic feelings of different time and space. But every time I see an old house, there are refrigerators, LCD TVs, air conditioners, computers, rice cookers and other electrical appliances on the table, Shu Lei in front of the window, and broadband boxes of telecommunications outside the door, I feel lost and emotionally find it difficult to accept this integration. Think about it carefully, I want to appreciate the past prosperity of the ancient town, so I like the lively ancient town, where people come and go, business is developed, it is bound to integrate modern people's concepts and lifestyles, and what has been lost in the prosperity; And those quiet ancient towns, or people are still there, or people are gone, things are different, but they also make me feel lonely in silence. I am neither a scholar nor an artist. Silence can't inspire me. So, I think I am a dragon of Ye Gong.
I remember that in Huishan ancient town, deep house compound, the years have changed, and only the inscription on the wall can let tourists know. That's it. Sitting in a quiet courtyard, leaning against the railing, looking up at the ruins on the high eaves and yuanshang, he was as calm as water. Suddenly, he vaguely saw people in ancient costumes strolling out of the dark deep hall, approaching and approaching, as if to shake hands, but as if their souls were awakened, as if Conan's dream and their backs. Now, I dare not walk into the old home alone, dare not touch the walls and doors, dare not step on the creaking wooden ladder, just because I don't want to disturb the souls of these ancient years. At that time, the feelings of the ancient town at that time were fleeting, and the ancient town people at this time were just living in their own stories. It has been a beautiful luxury wish since ancient times!
During the National Day holiday, my daughter said that she wanted to see the ancient town because she also liked the feeling of the old house. I am very touched, indicating that my daughter has grown up and can understand Jiangnan, or want to know Jiangnan. In my opinion, Jiangnan is not a simple water bridge. Jiangnan is a bowl of porridge, which has been melted into thick porridge and has eternal literati feelings. There is sweetness in porridge and more precipitation! Take my daughter, walk through the mossy stone bridge, walk through the deep mottled corridor, walk into the deep courtyard of the old house, look at the sky through the patio and appreciate it with your heart? Lao Wang Xie Yan? Those who are flashy and stay in the bottom of my heart may have many delicate and unspeakable feelings.
But it is really beautiful!
So, I can't help myself. When it rains and spring warms bloom, I must take a walk in the ancient town. I don't need more words. All I have to do is set foot on the bluestone road, walk on the mottled and mossy arch bridge, stop at the weeping willows and smile in the eyes of the old people.
Feelings, like this, again and again, precipitate! Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road!
Appreciation of Ancient Town's Beautiful Literature (Ⅲ): Ancient Town, Story and Hometown
With the hardening of the entrance lane, the only remaining stone road in the town has become history. In fact, the town is not small, of course, compared with the same level (township), it ranks in the top three in the country, and the town center is only five square kilometers. But it has a history of more than 200 years, and it has only been a hundred years since it became an established town this year.
Qingshuping, the resident of the town government, has been a post fortress since ancient times, which is 0/9 kilometers away from Yongfeng Town/Kloc-the county seat. As early as the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, merchants gathered here and trade was very active. The town was built in 19 12 with a long history. Although it has been changed by administrative districts and institutions several times, the name of Qingshuping Town has been used to this day. Why? A historic town? Known as.
Get along with each other every day, it is difficult to find the change of each other. Just like other people's children, they find themselves growing up a lot after a few years and marvel at the magic of time. Therefore, people who have lived in a small town for many years always say that nothing has changed in the town. For a passerby, the changes in the town are earth-shaking. I was born and raised in a small town for fifty years (except 69? Decentralized to the countryside in 75), all spent in small towns. So, what is the change in the town?
At first, the town was an east-west street, covered with green slate and bent to a certain extent, with a total length of about one kilometer. According to the elders, Qingshuping is really a small flat, because it is the passage from Shaoyang to Xiangxiang. Smart businessmen took the lead in establishing post stations, and gradually increased all kinds of businessmen, especially the construction of Xifu Temple, which attracted pilgrims in Fiona Fang for dozens of miles and brought prosperity, so businessmen from all over the country camped here.
As for when the stone slabs in the street were laid, there is no evidence to check. Anyway, I grew up rolling in a slate. Childhood memories have been formatted. Only? Counting slates? This matter has become a file. ? How many stone slabs are there in the street? This is a topic that is often discussed, but no one can say the exact number. In order to find the right answer, many people (including me, of course) walked from street to street, together? The number of blocks, in fact, no one can insist on counting. Think about it. Slates are large and small, wide and narrow. The big one in the middle is ok, but the small one on the side is very nerve-racking. So the conclusion is different. So we have to agree with the figure that the adults said. 14,999 dollars? . At that time, we all felt incompetent. I didn't know it was calculated until I was a little older. In order to show its authenticity, it is deliberately not an integer.
At that time, the gap between urban and rural areas was still very large, and the young people in the town finished secondary school and waited for recruitment at home. If parents have a work unit, the time of unemployment is generally very short, while if parents have no work unit or the conditions of the work unit are poor, the time of unemployment will be very long, or even they have never been to the work unit at all. What do you call this unemployment period? Counting slates? . ? Counting slates? It used to be our mantra.
The terrain of the ancient town is also very special. National Highway 320 and Zhennan Road (formerly Tanbao Road) cross at both ends of the street, becoming the mouth of two people; Herringbone Road criss-crosses, Old Street and Fuhou Commercial Pedestrian Street are east-west, and Liangzhan Road, Station Road, Gongnongping (Administrative Road), Niuyali Lane, Nanmen Lane, Beimen Lane, Chuangmen Lane and Gansu (Tangshan) Flower (Gate) Highway are north-south.
If National Highway 320 and Zhennan Road are compared to the side of a boat, the ancient town is like a boat, and the building across the road is the goods on that boat. Naganhua Highway is the two wings of the ancient town.
There are many legends, talents, specialties and dialects in the ancient town.
The historical celebrities in the ancient town are all eulogized by others. As a grassroots, this article only talks about a few small people. Speaking of villains, I have to say, lock the king? Dumb Li Liren, King of Paper-cutting? Jin Xianliang, kidnapper, erhu master? Chen Man Fang Sheng, a blind man.
Dumb Li Liren, my cousin, is ten years older than me. Born deaf and dumb, five big and three thick. He studied in a school for the deaf for a year, so he can write a lot of words. Some words are missing arms and legs, but everyone still recognizes them. As long as I can remember, he set up a stall with a lock on the street, repairing umbrellas and rain boots. Don't rely on the government, brothers and sisters, do your own thing. Because of his good skills and good treatment, everyone knows that Fiona Fang is dozens of miles away. To be sure, the popularity of the town belongs to him. It is also worth mentioning that playing chess is also very weighty. The chessboard next to his stall is not free every day, and all ages who like to play chess love to play several rounds. Neighbors said:? I really admire it. Smart, self-reliant, skilled and affectionate. ?
Wang Jinxian Liang, the paper-cut author, is my elder. His appearance and figure are really flattering. Wu Dalang's stature is lean, with small and gloomy eyes and long legs and short legs, so he is nicknamed "Xianpazi". Nature must have its laws. Although he is ugly, he has a skill? Paper cutting. The cut chicken, duck, cow, sheep and horse are lifelike. At that time, a hundred years later, people always decorated the mourning hall and put some wreaths on it. At that time, no one did business, so his paper-cutting art was of great use.
I don't know how many books Xian Pazi has read, but he seems to have some culture. He is a frequent visitor to my library. He often tells stories to us children and makes up some jingles. It's a pity that he is not as popular as the mute. The reason is that people are often bullied, especially children. He likes to fart. He often teases others before farting, telling them what's behind his ass and enticing children to see it. As a result, he farted loudly. So the popularity is not very good. Died in the late 1990s.
Why do you want to say that Erhu masters interpret blindness? His superhuman memory and excellent piano skills. In a kilometer-long old street, the blind can walk from street to street, and from street to street, he can find the people he knows accurately.
He plays the erhu very well. He can play many tunes. Every morning, he plays the erhu in the street. What's more, "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" and "Red Lake Waves" play flowing clouds, which makes us never tire of listening. Blind people can also tell fortune, and he is no exception. If you have a few dollars, he will sing while pulling and let you enjoy it in small talk.
There is a song saying: Dried lobster sauce and radish are delicious and beautiful. ? Before the 1980s, almost every household in the town had to make hot sauce beans. On both sides of a stone street, there are all kinds of crocodiles, mosquito nets or plastic sheets, which are colorful. Looking from south to north, it looks like a tree-lined avenue with flowers in full bloom. Besides, women tasted mine and I tasted yours, just like bees surrounded Hua Teng. Unfortunately, with the tide of economic development, some people are lazy, others are more diligent, and lazy people spend money to buy things from diligent people. There are fewer leisure people, and the beautiful street view has also been marketized.
Let's talk about the language of the town, the accent of the town? Earth? No nasal sounds, no tongue rolling, all cavity sounds. The locals can understand what they say, but the outsiders will wear needles when they hear it? I stared at each other. For example: Engel? Your captain George? That's not true. Climb the pot? Vegetable pot hemp seed? Frog. Be a horse? Do what? Playboy? Shrimp. /kloc-People born before 0/960 also have foreign accents if they want to speak Mandarin. Someone said that? Haha, this is plastic Mandarin! ?
The ancient town has been earth-shaking for a hundred years. From one slate street to three streets. A dozen small streets and alleys. It has more than ten large-scale comprehensive supermarkets such as Jubilance, Fulinmen, BBK and Xinyijia. Hundreds of clothing supermarkets such as Yikelong and Fang Yi, electrical shopping malls such as Qingshu Wujiaohua and Xinjun Mall. Especially the market that meets every Friday and every ten days attracts people from dozens of kilometers away, and the business is active, as evidenced by poems: East, West, South and North attract customers and make money every day. ?
At night, under the moonlight, the ancient town is like a boat full of goods, moving steadily in the tide of the times.
