Author |? Source of Sun Xingzhe |? Traveler (ID: lvzhexingyou) There is such a magical place in Chongqing, which is surrounded by water on three sides. People there like to sit in the river whether they are eating, chatting or playing mahjong. Every year

There will be a large number of painters and photographers coming here.

Walking along the path paved with bluestone slabs, watching the scenery and laughing all the way, we finally arrived here.

Looking around, you can see the dark blue tiled roofs, earthy gray walls, the small river that goes around the village, the lush old trees, and the neatly arranged old houses one after another, which are neither monotonous nor boring.

A simple and clear feeling came to mind, making people unable to help but speed up the pace.

The small river meanders around the ancient town. The river is not deep and it is impossible to sail a boat, but it is very clear and clean. Even today, people in the town still maintain the habit of washing clothes in the river.

There are only three stone bridges on the river connecting the two sides, located at the head, end and middle of the ancient town. There is an ancient yellow horn tree beside each stone bridge.

The yellow horn tree is the symbol of Chongqing and the eternal patron saint of this ancient city. There is an ancient yellow horn tree beside every stone bridge.

Children played under the tree, old people played chess under the tree, and listened to the girl singing softly, "Yellow horn tree, camellia, this beautiful mountain city is our home."

There is also a tragic love story about the yellow horn tree.

A long time ago, there lived two young people on both sides of the Blackwater River.

The boy is kind-hearted and the girl is simple and beautiful.

Slowly, the two fell in love.

Unexpectedly, just before their wedding, the girl was spotted by a rich man.

As a result, the girl and the boy had no choice but to leave their hometown.

When the rich man found out, he caught them both.

The young man was knocked unconscious and pushed into the river. The girl was taken back to the rich man's house and locked up.

That night, there was a sudden heavy rain, and the rising river swallowed up the young life.

In the early morning, the girl fled to the river. When she saw that her sweetheart was dead, she hit her head on a stone on the shore and died.

In order to express their memory, the people of the ancient town planted yellow horn trees on both sides of the Heishui River and named them acacia trees.

This is Pianyan Ancient Town, located in the center of Jindaoxia Town, Beibei District, Chongqing City. I have only seen it on TV before. Today I am lucky enough to come here to see its true appearance. I am very excited. It turns out that it is better than I imagined.

It's even more beautiful and interesting.

Pianyan Ancient Town is an ancient industrial and commercial town on the ancient road from Chongqing to Huaying. In the past, merchants gathered together, commerce was prosperous, and it was well-known in Sichuan, Huguang and Sichuan.

Although the times have changed over hundreds of years, its streets, buildings, folk customs, and market conditions still retain the simplicity and elegance of the past.

The ancient town is built close to the mountains and rivers. The wooden houses and brick houses are distributed along the mountains, stacked one on top of the other in a well-proportioned manner.

A meandering Heishuitan River tightly surrounds the ancient town. The slowly flowing river water is crystal clear and the river bank is dotted with tall and thick yellow horn trees.

These centuries-old trees, with intricately intertwined roots and luxuriant branches, resemble huge umbrellas that block out the sky and the sun, and shade the small residential houses built near the water.

At the back door of the folk house, there is a small stone staircase connected to the river beach, for people to go down to the river to fetch water, wash water, and fish... A small stone bridge connects the new street and the old street. The clear river water reflects the lush yellow horn trees. Several women are walking

Washing clothes on the stone steps that extend into the river, I almost doubt whether I am in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Turning around the side street of Pianyan Ancient Town, the space will become particularly bright and open. This is the public gathering place of the ancient town - the Temple of King Yu and the stage.

The Yuwang Temple is a vertical wooden hall-style building with gray tiles and pink walls, which is simple and elegant.

The hall once housed the tablet and statue of King Yu.

During the Spring Festival every year, opera is performed here every day.

The beauty of Pianyan Ancient Town is obvious to all. Many film and television crews have come here to shoot scenes, including the crews of CCTV's "023 Files", "Shore", and "The Child Carrying a Military Satchel to School".

, the crew of the movie "The Lost Stars" produced by the Italian cattleya.s.p.a company and co-produced by China, the crew of the "Morning Sky" of Anhui TV, the "Traveler" column of CCTV, and the "Bayu Family" column of Chongqing Satellite TV are all here

This film has been filmed.

CCTV News Channel also conducted a special report titled "Into Pianyan".

In addition to film crews coming here to shoot scenes, many students and painters also come here to sketch, using their pens to depict the beauty of Pianyan Ancient Town.

Although I don’t understand art, the lines and colors feel beautiful!

In addition to painters, there is never a shortage of photographers here. You must know that the beautiful scenery and beauties cannot be let down.

The scenery is so beautiful, and life in Pianyan Ancient Town is also very comfortable, without the busy traffic or the hustle and bustle of big cities.

Walking in the ancient town, you often see people sitting on the river playing mahjong or chatting.

Because the Heishuitan River surrounding the ancient town is shallow and clear, and less than calf-high, the gentle and cool river beach has become a favorite summer resort for Chongqing people. Not only can you fish and play in the water, you can also eat, drink tea, and play mahjong.

They all moved to the river.
