As we all know, many people admire the beauty of Fenghuang Ancient City in Hunan, and even the famous New Zealand writer Louis? Alley also called it the most beautiful town in China. However, there is also a "Fenghuang Ancient Town" hidden deep in the Qinling Mountains, which can be called the "Pearl of Southern Shaanxi". However, this "Phoenix" is not the "Other Phoenix", and the two are completely different. The main differences are as follows:
First, the history is different. Fenghuang Ancient City in Hunan was named as "Phoenix" only in Qin Long in Ming Dynasty, and it was not named as Fenghuang County until after the Revolution of 1911. The ancient town of Fenghuang, deep in the Qinling Mountains, has a long history. It was first built in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, with a history of 1,411 years.
Second, the humanities and cultures are different. The ancient city of Fenghuang, Hunan Province has outstanding people. During the short period of 36 years from the 21th year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty to the first year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, there emerged 21 prefects, 21 commanders, 43 lieutenants, 31 generals and 73 guerrillas. It is named after the green hills with their backs like a phoenix with wings flying. The ancient town of Fenghuang, deep in the Qinling Mountains, is built according to a soaring phoenix. Whenever the lights are lit at night, standing on the mountain to the east of the town and overlooking it, a fire phoenix with wings spread and bright marks on its left wing can be outlined on the netted street, which is the central street of the "S"-shaped old street. The old man in fenghuang town said that it is said that a phoenix once fell on the mountain south of Zhennan, hence the name Phoenix Mountain, and hence the name fenghuang town.
third, the geology and landforms are different. The ancient city of Fenghuang, Hunan Province, is as beautiful as mountains and rivers. The ancient town of Fenghuang, deep in the Qinling Mountains, is backed by Daliangshan and faces Fenghuang Mountain. fenghuang town is on the mountain, which is unique.
In a word, Fenghuang Ancient Town in Hunan and Fenghuang Ancient Town in the depths of Qinling Mountains have their own characteristics. No matter which one is a fascinating place, it is two "phoenixes" with different temperament.
