1. History and culture of Xinchang Ancient Town Xinchang Ancient Town was first built in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was originally called Qingyuan.

Until the Song and Ming dynasties, it was the hometown of Sian.

The town prospered during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and was first called Fanzichang (also known as Banbian Street).

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it became Xiyi Township.

Later, due to the war, the market and town declined. It was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1661-1721 AD) that Sichuan's economy recovered and developed after the war. The Fanzi Street, which was confined to one corner, was far from meeting the needs of the increasingly prosperous market, so it was expanded along the road.

In the open area near Sanlixu and Shuida temples down the Yangtze River, markets and street shops were gradually built based on the original retail stalls and Xieke shops in Qingyuan City. In addition, merchants from other provinces and relocated households from the same town were added.

The throughput of the five major markets of lumber, coal, tea, rice and miscellaneous grains is extremely spectacular. The Xinchang area is known as the "Five Major Markets" and is commonly known as the "Sow Farm" by the common people.

People called this newly built market "Xinchang", and later it was renamed Qingyuan City.
