Historically, Shiqiaopu was a post road that must pass through on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Ancient Road. It had beautiful mountains and clear waters and a large number of passers-by. It was one of the largest market towns in Mianzhou at that time, with various vendors gathering and various delicacies scattered throughout the streets. , the most famous of which is hot and sour noodles, a must-eat snack for merchants from all over the world, so it spread all over the country.

Hot and sour noodles originated from Sichuan folk. The ingredients are local handmade sweet potato noodles. The taste is mainly sour and hot, so it is named after it. Later, after continuous evolution and preparation, it officially hit the streets and became A special snack in Chongqing.

Speaking of the origin of hot and sour noodles, such allusions are widely circulated. Sichuan can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei became sworn brothers in Taoyuan. The owner of Taoyuan cooked a meal specially for them and chose red sweet potato starch as the main ingredient, which was popular at the time. It symbolized the three people. Human friendship is as long-lasting as this vermicelli, and a special spicy small pepper, Laotan pickled cabbage, brown sugar and yellow lotus are added to it. Liu Bei’s intention is to let the three of them understand that they are not afraid of sweet, bitter and spicy. Sichuan Hot and Sour Noodles , Chongqing Hot and Sour Rice Noodles evolved from this. Later generations gradually changed it to hot and sour rice noodles because of its sour and spicy taste. Chongqing hot and sour noodles are characterized by "numbing, spicy, fresh, fragrant, sour and oily but not greasy".

Going south from the ancient Mianyang City, you will first arrive at Shiqiaopu, then pass through Zaojiopu, Xinpu, Jinshanpu, Dajingpu, etc. all the way south to Chengdu. Liu, an old man in his 70s, told reporters that the former Shiqiaopu Street was between the two archways, and the ancient Guanma Avenue passed through the middle of the archways. After the construction of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, the ancient Shu Road gradually withdrew from the stage of history. . Now this street no longer exists, only two archways stand in the wind and rain. However, for the villagers of Shiqiaopu, the ancient road is still an important way for them to go to Mianyang City to go to the market. Now, the two archways located in Shiqiaopu have experienced varying degrees of weathering. A large piece of the stone archway will fall off if touched lightly with your hand. The writing in some places has been washed away by rain, and various patterns have also been lost. They began to fall off. Among them, the head of the "Attack" and the head and legs of the stone lion in the carvings of Baisuifang have disappeared. The area around the archway is overgrown with weeds and filled with all kinds of debris, and traces of random carvings and graffiti can be seen everywhere. Elderly people in the village are worried that the land around the archway has been bought by developers. Will the new development project conflict with the protection of cultural relics? All the original villagers here have been relocated to the residential area of ??Shiqiaopu New Village. Only this stone archway is left to be damaged by wind, rain and man-made damage on this field road, which is very distressing. They do not want to see ancient cultural relics destroyed in their lifetime, so they urgently hope that relevant departments can find ways to take some protective measures to leave this wealth of spiritual civilization for future generations. Villagers said: If Shuiguanyin Temple and the two archways can be used as a group of ancient cultural relics and turned into a tourist attraction, the cultural relics can be well protected.
