In the early years of the Republic of China, there was a great warlord in Sichuan who was called "Liu Shui Spiral". Water whirl means irresponsible and cunning in Sichuan dialect. This nickname is so famous that even his subordinates sometimes call him "Liushuigong". This famous old prick is called Liu Chengxun, and his hometown is Xinchang ancient town in Dayi, Sichuan. Liu Chengxun was once a long-term separatist in Ya 'an, enjoying the title of "smooth operator" in the Sichuan Army. Graduated from Sichuan Army Equipment School. He has served as a brigade commander, division commander and commander of the Sichuan Army. 1June, 923, he was elected governor of Sichuan Province and commander-in-chief of Sichuan Army. 1August, 926, served as the commander of the 23rd Army of the National Revolutionary Army. 1June, 927, was captured by Liu, the defense area was completely lost, and the troops were incorporated. From then on, I never asked politics again and returned to Dayi to live in seclusion. 1944 12 died in dayi. Liu Chengxun was the short-term governor of Sichuan during the Republic of China. 1922 In July, fighting broke out between Xiong Kewu, the first army of Sichuan Army, and Liu Xiang, the second army. Xiong Kewu joined forces with the Third Army to strengthen its strength, and Liu Chengxun was promoted to temporary commander-in-chief. After Liu took office, instead of going to the front line, he sat in Chengdu, commanding Deng Xihou, Lai Xinhui, Tian and besieging Luzhou, the headquarters of the Second Army. After Liu Xiangbing was defeated, Liu Chengxun said that he would not fall if he fell, and ordered the troops along the way to protect him. 1 13 10 13, Liu Chengxun was promoted to interim governor by the Sichuan Provincial Assembly. At that time, Sun Yat-sen told him to give up military power and engage in industry. However, Liu believes that there are a number of heroes in Sichuan. Without strong military power, nothing can be done, and he can even ignore Sun Yat-sen's advice. 192 1 February, Xiong Kewu and Liu Cunhou clashed. The Sichuan army and the three armed forces jointly wrote to Liu Diantong and were ordered to attack from the west road. However, he was just bluffing and didn't go into battle. Afterwards, he shared the rights of the victors and gained fame and fortune. In June, the Sichuan Army elected Liu Xiang as commander-in-chief and governor of the Sichuan Army. In August, Sichuan army aided Hubei. He didn't make a soldier, so there will be no loss. In the melee of these warlords, he mostly responded tactfully, waited for success or failure, and strengthened his strength, so he was nicknamed "Liu Shuixuan". Xinchang was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists and a commercial town where merchants gather. It is also a famous historical and cultural town on the ancient tea-horse road, with the reputation of "one new (field), two Tang (field) and three irrigation". During the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xirong, a scholar from Yunnan, visited Wu Shusheng, a local celebrity and master of Guangxu Emperor, and stayed at Touyan Inn. Moved by the scenery and human feelings of Xinchang ancient town, he left a poem saying: "The sun is setting outside the flowers, and Yunfeng is a few floors dark. There was a sound of three miles, and a street lamp on a spring night. Bamboo building high pillow, Taoyuan Dream Wuling. " The three-foot sword on the bedside makes me want to be a dragon. "In the past, due to factors such as capital and transportation, Xinchang Ancient Town was closed for many years. More than 200,000 square meters of well-preserved high-quality tourism resources such as houses, streets and houses in western Sichuan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as churches combining Chinese and Western styles, were "locked in boudoir", making it difficult for the world to see the whole picture. With the opening of chengwenqiong expressway, in February, 2008, Xinchang Ancient Town was named "China Famous Historical and Cultural Town". Liu Chengxun's former residence is at No.49, Xia Zheng Street, Xinchang Town. The frontispiece, the former residence, is very small, only the width of a pavement, and the inscription on the plaque reads "Changle Yongkang". A pair of gold-plated lion knockers on the bronze door add a bit of majesty and solemnity. Walking into the front yard along the narrow aisle, wood carvings and clay sculptures with western Sichuan characteristics can be seen everywhere. The pattern is rich in content and exquisite in craftsmanship, with strong traditional aesthetic charm and folk characteristics in western Sichuan. The courtyard is cool and quiet. Although the sun is blazing outside, there is no trace of heat in the house. The back garden is directly connected with the river. Although the whole former residence is small in area, it reveals the elegance and exquisiteness of traditional culture everywhere, making it a striking historical relic and tourist attraction in Xinchang ancient town.
