Xinchang ancient town in Chengdu is a characteristic town full of elements of Bashu culture, where you can feel the thrill from the depths of your soul, and everyone will get a good visit experience and feel the core and spirit of ancient culture. Here, I will share with you the specific strategy guide.

Xinchang ancient town is located in the west of Chengdu Plain. It is the earliest established town in the west of Dayi County. It belongs to an area with mountains, hills and dams. It starts from Chengdu, goes along Chengwen Expressway, exits Wangsi and Xinchang, and then drives for about 5 kilometers. It takes about 1 hour by car.

Xinchang Ancient Town was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and rose in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It borders Qionglai in the west, Wangsi Town in the south and Chujiang Town, Huashuiwan and Xiling Snow Mountain in the north. It is one of the famous historical and cultural towns on the ancient tea-horse road, with rich and colorful folk culture and farming culture.

Xiling Snow Mountain is rich in water flowing out of the river, passing through Touyan River, Eryan River and Sanyan River, and surrounding Xinchang ancient town.

The ancient town has seven ancient streets, namely Xiazheng Street, Shangzheng Street, Taipingzheng Street, Taiping Street, Taiping Hengjie, Xiangshi Street and Heba Street. There are also six alleys, namely Shuixiang, zhang yi Miaoxiang, Xiejia Alley, Maoshi Alley, Tongshi Alley and Shangziku Alley, with two vertical and two horizontal wells. The existing ancient buildings cover an area of several hundred thousand square meters, and most of the houses were built during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

There are many large courtyards and pavilions, with blue bricks and tiles, wooden buildings and columns, carved beams and painted buildings, which are lifelike. bank up's walls are quaint, such as Li's old house, Fu Lin Society, Jigu Inn, Huangstorou, Guangdong Guild Hall, Catholic Church and Gospel Hall, as well as Liu Chengxun's former residence and Bishan Temple.

Walking in the ancient town, the biggest feeling is that you can hear the flowing water everywhere. Where there is water, there are bridges, including the Yong 'an covered bridge which is hundreds of meters long, the small stone bridge which is less than two meters long, and the nine-hole bridge which is nine feet long and one foot two feet wide.

All these waters are running water, and often there is a stream under the eaves. The trees on both sides of the stream are deep with green forests, a few steps and a few feet of guardrails, or washing clothes or washing vegetables, which is quite a charm of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. 1. Three-inch Golden Lotus Pavilion Jianghu Gangs Pavilion

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of Xinchang ancient town, two three-story towers with quaint blue bricks came into view. I heard from fellow villagers in the ancient town that they were replicas of the ancient towers. These two towers are two small museums, namely: Three-inch Golden Lotus Museum and Jianghu Gang Museum.

There are a lot of graphic materials and objects in the Jianghu Gang Museum. This paper introduces the origin, development and reform of the three Jianghu gangs in the old society, such as Paoge Organization, green gang and Hongbang (Hong Men).

The Three-inch Golden Lotus Museum records the history of women's foot-binding in feudal society in China for more than 1, years from the Song Dynasty, and exhibits three-inch golden lotus bow shoes, shoemaking tools and other physical objects. When the history of ancient women's foot-binding began remains to be verified, but it was generally recognized from the Song Dynasty.

It's true that "a pair of little feet, a jar of tears". My little girl has been binding her feet since she was five or six years old. She used a long piece of cloth to break her four toes except her thumb and bend them to the soles of her feet, forming a "golden lotus" in the shape of a bamboo shoot, and its tragic pain can be imagined. "Small, thin, sharp, curved, fragrant, soft and upright" is the highest standard of foot binding, and it is also the guarantee of women's marriage life, otherwise they will not get married. The children's song of foot-binding sings like this: press the oil, press the board, warm up in the sun slope, boil hot water, put green salt on it, and my mother will help me wrap my feet.

When I was very young, my grandmother was a pair of little feet, and she often stumbled. Every time I wash my grandmother's feet, I feel scared. Thanks to the women's liberation movement, there is no more crying when little girls are bound feet. The torture imposed on women for thousands of years has never been forgotten. 2, 3+2 reading club

There is also a "3+2 reading club" in Xinchang ancient town that attracts me. This is a folk library initiated by book lovers who share reading fun, and all books can be read for free.

The library has more than 8, books, most of which are donated by caring people and caring enterprises. When I entered, three girls were tidying up the bookshelves. They enthusiastically introduced me to the history of the reading club. From the establishment, development, growth and activities held, I suddenly fell in love with it, and the three of them were volunteers. Tea, ice cream and wifi are also provided free of charge.

I like this sentence on the bar in the reading club: Share the story of the book, so that more people can enjoy reading.

Reading Club often holds various reading activities, and invites some famous people here to share reading stories with you. Public welfare classes held include: youth classes, rural classes, children's classes, reading and sharing classes, etc.

These three girls even took on the tutoring of many children's homework after school, which was welcomed by many parents. In the countryside, there is such a reading environment, and I really envy Xinchang ancient town.

I originally planned to visit here for only one day, and I stayed here for a week slowly because of the "3+2 Reading Club".

every morning, I take my camera and walk around the streets and corners of the ancient town. In the afternoon, take a notebook and sit in the corner of the reading club, either reading quietly or writing a few pages of travel notes to deal with the pictures taken.

"That afternoon, that weekend, as if it were yesterday, has actually been a long time, and time can precipitate. It can also prove that a group of dream catchers, a place with love and ideals, are verifying that extraordinary dreams start with a group of ordinary people?"

soak in a cup of mint water, watch the tourists weaving outside the window, and listen to the flowing water of the river. Tired of reading, chat with girls and help them sort out books and clean up. Discuss the fun of reading with them and share their joys and sorrows. Or invite them to put on their favorite clothes, dress up beautifully, hold a parasol, come to the bridge and take pictures of them beautifully. 3. formerly Qingyuan city

in front of jiudong bridge, there was an antique zhaobi with the words "original Qingyuan" written in seal script.

Xinchang ancient town was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was called Qingyuan. Because of the convenient transportation, it has been a competitive gateway for military strategists and a bazaar where merchants gather from south to north since ancient times. For thousands of years, the throughput of wood, tea and rice here is very large, and it is one of the important towns of the ancient tea-horse road and the southern Silk Road.

especially in the Kangxi period of Qing dynasty, from the original sporadic stalls and rest shops, it developed into a place of fair trade with many shops and prosperous markets.

At present, there are still many Ming and Qing buildings in the ancient town, and the ancient town still retains the traditional custom of going to the market. Every February, April, July and October, farmers and people in the nearby mountainous areas will come here to go to the market with baskets on their backs, so some people call the new market a "fair that will last for thousands of years on the Southern Silk Road".

There was once such a couplet describing Qingyuan City at that time: the clear air meets the foggy mountains, the clouds are steaming in the summer, and the humanities are radiant; Water comes from the source, which makes people outstanding and wise. 4, Liu Chengxun's former residence

Because Xinchang ancient town is full of humanity, outstanding people and celebrities, there are many former residences of celebrities in the ancient town, including Liu Chengxun's former residence. Liu Chengxun was a warlord in Sichuan during the Republic of China. He was once the governor of Sichuan Province and commander-in-chief of Sichuan Army.

Liu Chengxun's former residence, frontispiece, is small, only the width of a pavement. When you enter the front yard along the narrow aisle, you can feel the characteristics of western Sichuan folk houses everywhere. There are many wood carvings on doors, windows and beams, with rich patterns and exquisite craftsmanship.

There is an exhibition of Liu Chengxun's life. After graduating from Sichuan Army armament school, he gradually became a brigade commander, a division commander and a commander, until he went home to live in seclusion without asking about political affairs, and died in 1944.

Although Liu Chengxun is a great warlord in Sichuan, his former residence is relatively simple, which can't be compared with Liu Wencai Manor in Dayi County. 5. Bishan Temple, a grateful place

As an important town of commercial distribution in the past, it is impossible to lose the resorts of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. However, the Bishan Temple in Xinchang Ancient Town enshrines a real person-Li Wanchun. And this Li Wanchun is not a big official, but a small county magistrate in Bishan, Chongqing in the Ming Dynasty. This temple is called "Thanksgiving Temple" by people in Xinchang ancient town. For hundreds of years, it has become a place for newcomers to worship gods and ancestors.

Maybe Bishan Temple adapts to local conditions, and the mountain gate is very different from other places, with only one empty gate.

According to legend, Bi Peng, a new businessman, is doing business in Bishan County, Chongqing. Li Wanchun is the magistrate of Bishan County, and Li Wanchun has made remarkable achievements in managing Bishan, and was praised by the Governor of Sichuan as "a model of 1 counties". Bi Peng was taken care of by Li Wanchun and became a wealthy businessman in a few years.

Li Wanchun was dismissed from office to punish corruption, and threw himself into the river in a rage. After Bi Peng knew about it, he returned to Xinchang ancient town because he was grateful to Li Wanchun for his honesty and help in his business, and built Bishan Temple to support Li Wanchun, so that future generations could worship this blue sky master forever.

This temple was rebuilt with the strong support of the government and donations from people from all walks of life after the Wenchuan earthquake in 28 because some buildings were damaged.

The Daxiong Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the sitting room and the Buddhist monk's room were rebuilt. The famous monk Yicheng and the famous monk Weixian wrote joint titles respectively. Create a religious place for believers and tourists from far and near to place their faith, inherit cultural exchanges and promote economic prosperity. Experience a slow life by drinking tea and playing mahjong

The biggest feature of traveling to Sichuan is that there are many tea houses in the streets, and it is no exception to Xinchang ancient town. Almost all local residents have a cup of tea from morning till night, and tourists can also drink it from morning till night. As long as they see someone's cup empty, they will immediately refill the water. As long as I drink tea, I can't sleep, but Sichuanese can actually fall asleep after drinking it, which shows that Sichuanese have become a habit of life to drink tea.

Most of the teahouses here are concentrated in the small rivers that pass through the ancient town. You can drink tea in the private rooms in the teahouses, in the corridors along the river, and in the open-air teahouses.

at the winding place of the river corridor, you can enjoy the scenery and listen to the gurgling sound of water. Small round tables, square tables, surrounded by several rattan chairs, cool chairs, even small bamboo chairs, or in shady places, or put umbrellas above tables and chairs, sit together to drink tea and put a dragon gate array, which fully reflects the slow life of Xinchang ancient town.

exquisite, you can put tea sea, tea set or purple sand, or porcelain. Now, electric kettles are basically used, and tourists boil water and brew it themselves.

Most Sichuanese drink tea in this beer cup, and they like to drink strong tea. Most of the brewed tea cups may be related to the generous character of Sichuanese. This kind of cup has a handle, which is not hot. It contains a little more tea and is convenient to drink. If you don't like tea, you can also drink medlar, chrysanthemum and lemon tea. Most girls from other places prefer this kind of drink.

People in Xinchang Ancient Town prefer to drink local Sichuan tea, which is close to Qionglai, so there are more Wen Jun tea and black tea in Qionglai, of course, there are also bamboo leaves in Emei Mountain, nectar and yellow teeth on the top, and Sichuan Red Kung Fu in Yibin is also quite abundant.

Drinking tea is not only for the dragon gate array, but also for the entertainment of chess and cards. Mahjong and Pai Jiu, which can be seen everywhere on the street, are also the favorite of Sichuan people. Ordering a cup of tea while playing cards, or the staff in the restaurant, when they are not busy, can't take off their aprons, and they have already started making cakes.

Grandma with gray hair will also play mahjong with the little girl at the same table, so absorbed that she doesn't even know that she has entered my shot.

There are also shirtless people, and slippers have become the standard for local people. On the street, in the shop, playing mahjong, time slowly slips away from your fingertips. 7. A pair of skillful hands make a beautiful life

There are also people who make their own small handicrafts and embroidery on the street, which are both workshops and facades. Have a business, stop what you are doing, talk about the price, and make a deal. When there is no business, I am busy with my work again.

They are weaving bamboo baskets and baskets, as well as their own lives and a beautiful life.

silver needles are flying, colored lines are shuttling, and a peony is ready to come out. You can see that every stitch is embroidered, and someone hurts you; You can see that peony has a lifetime, and someone is waiting for you. There are thousands of red crisp hands, and when the setting sun shines alone, the peony is dyed with bronze bottles. 8, bask in the world

The most memorable thing about Xinchang ancient town is "basking". On the street, near the door, all kinds of sun, sun out of life, sun out of the world.

unlike some man-made "ancient towns" with strong commercialization, these "sunning" on the street are not put out for tourists to take pictures. This is the result of generations of people living here in Xinchang ancient town, and it is a real life.

There is its own farmland outside the town, and there is its own work and harvest day and night in the farmland. When it is sunny, you can get the harvest in the farmland and get a good life.

Therefore, I am reluctant to go here, as if I have a feeling of going home. There is a memory that my mother asked me to pick up pebbles, chaff and grass seeds in the dried grain when I was a child.

dried beans, dried sweet potatoes and dried radishes are all needed after the season. After a few days of drying, they will become delicious dishes in the future.

Mossy tiles, a pair of red shoes and a laundry basket of dried sweet potatoes came into my shot, which made people wonder what kind of family this was. Maybe the child just went to middle school, and when he came home on holiday, his mother urged the child to take off his dirty sneakers and wash them quickly while the weather was fine, so as to collect Lilisuosuo, who could clean up the child on holiday.

whether tourists come or not, the ancient town is here, and so is life. Perhaps this is where the ancient town has been passed down for thousands of years.

Walking through the busy neighborhood and into the quiet alley, I found the reason why I like it here: I'm looking for an ancient town, not for eating, drinking and having fun, but for the feeling of a fireworks-filled home and my childhood memories.

Grandma with gray hair is lying in the warm afternoon sunshine, fiddling with her grandson's or great-grandson's toys, and drying a pair of flat shoes with red tips on the steps. I greeted my grandmother and asked, "Grandma, are these your cloth shoes? It's beautiful. "

"I still have many beautiful shoes and clothes. I used to make them myself, but now I can't see the stitches. The children bought them for me. I used to have embroidered flowers on my shoes. "

A lazy Xiaohua Mall, my camera has reached its nose, and I'm too lazy to move.

"Hey, wake up, kitten, I'm tired from walking. Can you lend me your chair to rest?"

The little guy ignored me, meowed and dozed off again. Hum! Ignore me. I'll ignore you, too. Let's go. 9. There are stories everywhere in the ancient town

There is an old bicycle on the street, a straw hat is sandwiched in the back seat, and two polished baskets beside it are empty. For thousands of years, Sichuanese have used baskets to carry their lives, the sun and the moon, the whole family, and the future and hope. At first glance, there should be a story.

Sure enough, there are several brothers sitting in the corner shop, who should be the owners of bicycles and baskets. Either they have just sold out their local products, and several brothers have a rest in the shop, eat something by the way and then go home on their way; Or a few old friends, met in the rush, came to the store, ordered a few dishes, and a few brothers had a drink. Several brothers have blushed after drinking, their trouser legs rolled up high, and there are still some sweat stains on their backs. It is this backbone that holds up the whole family.

A warm picture appeared before my eyes again: an uncle shook his cattail leaf fan and was barefoot.
