Xun County is the only county-level national historical and cultural city in Henan Province. To this end, I regard Xunxian as a very important stop in this trip to northern Henan. When I arrived in Xunxian, it was close to night. I drove past the north wall, brightly lit and spectacular. At that time, I was very excited to take a look at the night view of the ancient city of Xunxian. Unfortunately, as a foreigner, it is really a shame. I couldn't bypass huanghe road, which was under maintenance, and I was exhausted when I found a place to live. The next day I had to spend half a day measuring the ancient city on foot. It is said that the ancient city of Xunxian is really big. After a lap, my ranking in the WeChat movement soared directly to the forefront. Xunxian ancient city is an open ancient city, completely free. It is centered on the Sandwich Pavilion and divided into four doors: East, South, West and North. I came down from Qiufushan, so I took the south gate. There is a moat in front of Cheng Nan, and Nanguan Stone Bridge was built in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The bridge deck is full of historical traces and uneven. The lion on the carved fence still retains its charm. The south gate is tall and majestic, and the attic with double eaves above is a newly-built antique building. On the east side of Nanchengmen, there is a special ancient city wall experience hall, which is divided into two periods: Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Ming city wall is mainly composed of soil accumulation and text introduction, while the Qingcheng wall is a site display. After entering South Street, antique buildings are everywhere on both sides. In order to maintain this unity, great efforts must have been made. The clothes seller is directly called the "Armed Forces Department", which is really fully armed. The presence of selling fried fish is really strong, with five small signs. When you come to Xunxian for special food, you can't help eating stone buns. Xunxian people directly call it "Mozi", and Zidai's voice sounds very nice. It looks like our pie. It tastes crisp outside and tender inside, and it's full of meat and eggs. This building located in the center of Xunxian ancient city is Wenzhi Pavilion, which is the center of the whole Xunxian ancient city and one of the symbols of Xunxian. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called the Central Pavilion and the Bell Tower. After the renovation in Qing Dynasty, it was renamed as "Wenzhige". An East Street, half of which is the history of Xun County, is the East Street that started from Wenzhige. The most typical buildings on Dongjie Street are these "revolutionary" buildings, which always remind people of that prosperous era. In addition, there is a "Song Family Courtyard" on the East Street, which is a quadrangle left over from the Qing Dynasty, but it is being renovated. To say that the most interesting thing in the ancient city of Xun County is West Street, which has been the political, economic and cultural center of Xun County in ancient times. On the westernmost side is a river, which is not only a national key cultural relic protection unit, but also a world cultural heritage. This river is the Xunxian section of the Weihe River (Yongji Canal). In ancient times, it was an important wharf of Weihe River, with considerable throughput, which contributed to the commercial prosperity of Xunxian County. And the stone bridge above, called Yunxi Bridge, is also very famous in the local area. The river is a moat, and the bridge is a bridge to protect the city. Crossing the river and crossing the bridge is the west wall, which is the best preserved section of the ancient wall of Xunxian County. Although the gates and towers are newly built, the foundation of the city wall is old. After the renovation, you can still climb the city wall and overlook the West Street. When you enter West Street from the west gate, the first isolated building you see is called "Disaster Cloud Building", which is an ancient theater building. In front of the building, there are local citizens who "ride" for a living. When they go, their business just opens. Opposite Zhiyun Building is a Guandi Temple, which is undergoing major repairs and temporarily closed. The neighbor of Zhiyun Building is Xunxian Cinema, which is also a "revolutionary style". It will be very emotional to watch movies like tunnel warfare and mine warfare in it. Further east, you can see the hereditary Hanlin Academy. In fact, the hereditary Hanlin Academy was originally located in Xunxian South Street, and it was only moved to the present West Street during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The hereditary Hanlin House is the home of the descendants of Duanmu Zigong, a famous historical figure in Xunxian County. Zi Gong is a very famous disciple of Confucius. He is good at business and is known as the originator of Confucian businessmen. On the eve of liberation, Xunxian set up a lithographic bureau in the hereditary Hanlin Academy to undertake printing business. Later, I worked here as a county hospital, a county collective industrial association and a family member's hospital of a collective industrial association. West Street is now full of shops, some selling food, some sex shops, and some throwing hydrangeas to attract relatives. Those who don't have girlfriends might as well try their luck. There are many small forks in the west street, such as "market street", which should be equivalent to the ancient farmers' market. The most important one is Xianqian Street, which is located in the middle of West Street and faces north. It says "Liyang Old Governance". There are ancient county offices and schools hidden inside. On the way to Xunxian county government, there are many former institutions and houses. After renovation in recent years, they are all connected by a side door. I went in from the mathematician's former residence, and he went to the Wang family compound and the ordnance department. In the end, I couldn't tell which one it was. In ancient times, there were some folk customs about marriage and birthday worship. Wedding suits have many links and are still in use. You can really learn a lot if you calm down and observe carefully one by one. Unfortunately, time is limited, so I will take a quick look and take photos as a souvenir. Go north to the end of Xianqian Street, that is, Xunxian county government, old place and new building. "It is an old official motto that" public life is bright, life is dark ",and it will not be out of date now or in the future! Where the magistrate handled the case, when two rows of courtiers shouted "mighty", the magistrate said, "Who is kneeling? "His leg is weak immediately? In ancient times, in order to avoid corruption and nepotism, officials were sent from different places, so there were often residential areas behind county governments. There are several "round granaries" in the county government. They are not left by ancient officials, but the first batch of state-built granaries built in Xun County in the early days of the founding of New China. Many houses of the county government have been opened as exhibition halls, including temple fairs in Xun county, costumes of ancient officials and weapons criminal law. Interestingly, many people eat this group of sculptures at Yamenkou, the county seat, and some people earn literacy! Not far from the county government to the east is the Confucian Temple. This is the ancient cultural center of Xun County. There is no shortage of original buildings or later added buildings, such as Lingxingmen, Chi Pan, Qiaoqiao and Jiymen. Of course, the building that the Confucian Temple finally arrived at was Dacheng Hall, where Confucius, the most holy teacher, was enshrined. Have you found that the halberd gate and Dacheng Hall in the Confucian Temple are all built by green glazed tiles, and Dacheng Hall is a building located on the top of the mountain. The county government that has just passed is a hard roof with blue bricks and gray tiles, but it is shorter than the Confucian Temple in building regulations. Go east from the Confucian Temple, and you can walk to North Street, which is almost full of shops. When I walked to the north gate, I suddenly remembered the first night. I'm a little embarrassed to drive outside the gate and I can't find a place to park and stay. Walking to the north gate means walking through the entire ancient city of Xunxian. Unfortunately, cars and luggage are in the south, so we have to walk from north to south again, through the sandwich hall in the middle, and through the center of this ancient city, and feel an indescribable familiarity. Maybe this feeling has been called! Xunxian county is muddy, and when I was a child, I wrestled with the blind and had a good time.
