May is the most comfortable season in Hunan. After many years, I came to Changde again and felt the changes and elegance of the city at close range again.

Changde is an ancient city with a long history. In 277 BC, Zhang Ruo, the garrison of Qin Shu County, built a city here to defend it, and Changde had a city, which started from then on. Changde is also known as Wuling. In those days, Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, chose a word from the sentence "Stop fighting for martial arts, make peace in the sun" in Zuo Zhuan, and named it Wuling. In the Tang Dynasty, it was also called Langzhou. As for Changde's present name, it began in the Northern Song Dynasty, and originated from Laozi, "For the world stream, Changde never leaves".

Changde has a long history, outstanding people and profound cultural heritage. Changde has also produced many famous figures in modern history, such as Lin Boqu, Jian Bozan and Ding Ling. There are many famous people who have an intersection with Changde. The most famous poet in history is Liu Yuxi, and the modern one belongs to Shen Congwen and Huang Yongyu.

Liu Yuxi was demoted to be a Sima here because he offended the emperor. He lived on the river street near the Yuanjiang River for 1 years, during which he wrote more than 2 poems. The most famous poem is Zhuzhi Ci: The willow is green and Jiang Shuiping, singing on the Langjiang River, and it rains in the east and sunny in the west. This is a poem that even children can recite, but few people know that this poem was written in Changde.

Changde has been known as "the gateway of Xiangxi, the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou" since ancient times. It is a distribution center for timber, tung oil, medicinal materials, mountain products and other goods in and out of Yunnan, Guizhou and Xiangxi. Businessmen gathered here, and the booming business also gave birth to the prosperity of terminal transportation and commerce here. From the east gate to the west gate, a river street built by water gradually formed. At that time, it was called Dahe Street, Xiaohe Street and

This is also the writer Shen Congwen's second stop in his life. At the age of 19, he and his cousin Huang Yushu, the father of the great painter Huang Yongyu, came to Changde for the first time and lived together in the Ping 'an Inn in Hejie. He stayed there for half a year, which helped to form a marriage with his cousin Huang Yushu. In his early works, Shen Congwen described River Street as follows: "There are inns, flower yarn shops, oil shops, large shops selling ship's iron anchors and chains, tax bureaus, various halls and shops ..." This is his initial impression of Changde River Street. He has been to Changde and Changde five times in his life, and it is always a haunting place for him.

Changde is also the place where the great painter Huang Yongyu was born. He also has deep feelings for Changde, and calls Changde his native land. At the beginning of 215, when the renovation project of Changde River Street started, 91-year-old Huang Yongyu wrote the street name for Changde River Street.

Changde is a beautiful city, and it is also recognized as the most livable city in Hunan.

The beauty of Changde lies in its natural endowment. There is a scenery in the city, and there is a city in the scenery. The mountains, rivers, lakes and cities are integrated, and there are green mountains and clear waters everywhere, trees are shaded and flowers are fragrant. It is a realistic version of a paradise and a dream water town.

The beauty of Changde lies in the excellent urban planning and construction. Driving into the downtown area of Changde will give you a refreshing feeling immediately. The streets here are flat and wide, elegant and tidy, and the living atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. It is a place to rest your soul.

Wuling Avenue, the most beautiful street in Hunan Province, is so charming during the day and at night.

the beauty of Changde lies in cultural inheritance.

Changde people are born and live by water, and a Yuanjiang river quietly passes through the city, connecting Dongting, the Yangtze River and the East China Sea.

Chang Lihe Street has the history and ancient memory of this city. The river street in history is on the edge of the Yuanjiang River. Because it is dilapidated, it was demolished and disappeared in the urban reconstruction in the 199s. It is the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in Changde people's minds and the eternal historical memory of the city. There are generations of Changde people lingering homesickness here.

around 215, with the approval of the government, some CPPCC members proposed to rebuild the river street on the edge of Yuanjiang River in the old Changde period, taking Daxiaohe Street and Mayang Street as prototypes. Although it is a newly-built historical block, it is full of ancient charm and rich street life. The reconstruction is not only antique buildings, but also a continuous cultural heritage. In this street, there are not only amazing hemp paintings, but also intangible cultures that bear the memory of Changde people, such as Changde Sixian, Han Opera Gaoqiang and woodcarving, which is also the soul of Changde River Street.

When night falls, River Street is also covered with dreamy colors. You must take a night cruise to Changde, starting from Dahe Street and ending at Baima Lake Park. There are many performances rich in Changde local characteristics along the way, such as cutting firewood with bangs and string strings in Changde, which is a very amorous night tour.

Liuye Lake, named after the lake looks like a willow leaf, is a part of the West Dongting Lake, only a few kilometers away from Changde City. It is said that when Liu Yuxi was demoted here to be a Sima, he sent guests and wrote poems at Liuye Lake.

A few years ago, the Changde municipal government thoroughly cleaned up the aquatic catering and pearl culture that had an impact on the environment of the lake area. Now, what we see is the vast waters, rippling blue waves and various exquisite and elegant leisure facilities along the lake.

There is an island in the middle of the lake, like a fairyland. Looking around the island, you can see the Ferris wheel, the lake and Sima Pavilion.

Now Liuye Lake is a paradise for Changde people to relax and play on weekends. It is known as "the first lake in China" and "a water paradise surrounded by cities".

The bronze statues of Sima Lou and Liu Yuxi on the road around the lake. The bronze statue of Liu Yuxi is 4.2 meters high and made of 2.3 tons of copper. It was made by the famous sculptor Wang Zijing and the young sculptor Chen Jiahua. There are two white cranes beside the bronze statue.

Changde is also a city that has experienced hardships. In history, it was destroyed seven times and rebuilt seven times.

Laoximen is the oldest street in Changde City, which also bears the memories of Changde people. The reconstructed Old Ximen, by means of expression such as flat bridge, pavilion bridge, covered bridge, arch bridge and pavilion step, combined with the cultural remains of Changde, such as the pit house, ancient city wall and bunker, has inherited Changde's cultural genes and continued the historical context, which is characterized by the Ming and Qing styles and modern elements, with a heavy sense of history and a strong sense of the times, and won the title of British state in 218.

Poetry Wall, a cultural landmark of Changde. Walking along the Yuanjiang River, the four-kilometer-long flood control dam has been turned into a cultural corridor by Changde people. More than 1,2 painters and painters, including Zhao Puchu, Qigong and Shen Peng, have displayed more than 1,5 poems and stone murals on the wall through the creative methods of traveling, sealing, grass and stone murals, blowing the cool breeze of Yuanjiang River, and enjoying the profoundness of Chinese culture while walking. Culture is the enduring source of a city, and Changde is a livable city because of the root of culture.

Changde is also a heroic city. At that time, 4, people from three divisions of the Japanese army besieged Changde, and Yu Chengwan, the commander of the 57th division of the 74th Army, led more than 8, people from the whole division to fight against the Japanese army for 16 days. In the end, less than 1 people were left in the whole division, killing more than 1, Japanese soldiers, and the whole Changde city was razed to the ground. The following picture is the memorial hall and monument for the soldiers killed in the Changde Battle of the 74th National Army in Qingnian Road, Wuling District, Changde City. On the same day, I met several teachers with dozens of kindergarten children to do

today's Changde city can be seen everywhere with bunkers left by the defending war.

Peach Blossom Garden in Changde. There are many places called Peach Blossom Spring in China, and it is said that there are more than a dozen famous ones. The Peach Blossom Spring, which is more than 3 kilometers away from Changde City, is the secluded place of Tao Yuanming, a great poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, more than 1,6 years ago, and wrote down his masterpiece Peach Blossom Spring.

It is said that this is the scenic spot with the richest variety of peach blossoms, which brings together 8% of the peach blossom varieties in the world. In spring, peach blossoms are everywhere and green trees are flying, and you can really feel the artistic conception of "delicious grass and colorful flowers" described in Peach Blossom Garden, which is a realistic version of Xanadu.

Taohuayuan scenic spot is very large, with Taohua Mountain, Taoyuan Mountain, Wuliu Lake and Qingu Qinxi as the core scenic spots, which are more than 3 kilometers away from Changde city.

"Liu Hai Chops firewood" is a well-known aria of Hunan Huagu Opera, which many people can sing. Among them, there are two lyrics: "I live in Wuling area of Changde, Liujiamen by Loofah Well". Suddenly, there is no doubt that Liu Hai chopped firewood in Changde, and today I can find the legendary Loofah Well in Changde.

Changde on the tip of the tongue. Many people say that Changde is a paradise to eat. Just a few days ago, they wrote about the three most livable cities in Hunan, and Changde ranked first, not only because of its beautiful environment, proud urban construction, but also because of its leisurely and comfortable living atmosphere.
