Brief reading of Wuxi: In ancient times, this land was called "Wuxian Country", and it was set up as a county because of salt.

Do you know Wuxi? There are many secrets in witchcraft. Wu Xian, a strategist of the ancient Yellow Emperor, had his fief in Wuxi, which was called Wu Xianguo. It is located at the junction of Chongqing, Shaanxi and Hubei provinces, at the southern foot of the eastern section of Daba Mountain, adjacent to Shennongjia and Zhuxi counties in Hubei Province in the east, fengjie county and Wushan counties in the south, Kaixian and Yunyang counties in the west, and Chengkou County and zhenping county in Shaanxi Province in the north.

Since the county was established in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wuxi has established a county, county, prison and state system, with the names of Jingxian, Shining, Yongchang, Daning, Daningfu, Daning and Wuxi in turn.

Wuxi's historical ownership is changeable and there are many stories.

Wuxi area belongs to Wuxian County and Wizarding Country successively. Xia, Shang and Zhou belong to Yong State, and Fish City merged with Chu, belonging to Wu County. During the Warring States Period, Wu County in Qin Chu was placed under the jurisdiction of Qianzhong County, and Wu County was established, including Wushan and Wuxi.

The Qin Dynasty implemented the county system, and Wuxi County was a county in central Guizhou.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Wuxi belonged to Wuxian County, Nanjun County; In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wuxian County was divided into Jingxian County, which was located in Chengxiang Town today and later belonged to Guling County (Fengjie).

During the Three Kingdoms period, Beijing County successively belonged to Badong County (Fengjie), Yidu County (Yichang) and Jianping County (Wushan).

In the Western Jin Dynasty, Jingxian County was subordinate to Badong County, Jianping Dewey County and Jianping County successively. The organizational system of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Beijing County has not changed.

During the Liu Song, Southern Qi, Liang and Western Wei Dynasties, the organizational system of Jingxian remained unchanged. At the beginning of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Shining County was established in Beijing County and later renamed Yongchang County. County governance is in Chengxiang Town today, and Jingxian County is merged into Dachang County.

The Sui Dynasty followed the county system and abolished Yongchang County. Dachang County belongs to Xinzhou General Administration and Badong County.

The county system was changed in the Tang Dynasty, and Dachang County was under the jurisdiction of Kuizhou, belonging to Shannan East Road.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Shannan East Road was abandoned, Zhenjiang Army was located in Kuizhou, and Ningjiang Army was changed to Dachang County.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Daoism was set up, and Wuxi was the Daning supervisor of Kuizhou Road, and the supervisor was in Chengxiang Town. During the Southern Song Dynasty, it was still supervised by Daning.

Sichuan Province was established in Yuan Dynasty, and Daning was promoted to Daning House, which governed Dachang, Yunyang, Pingli, Shiquan and Longhua counties. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Daning House was subordinate to Kuizhou Road, a peasant regime in Daxia.

In the Ming Dynasty, "Dao" was changed to "Fu", and Daning Fu belonged to Chongqing Fu. In the ninth year of Hongwu, Daning Prefecture was reduced to Daning County, which belongs to Kuizhou Road in Chongqing. In Hongwu 13, the state was changed to the government, and Daning County was the Kuizhou government, which was placed under Daning County and Dachang County was re-established. In Chongzhen 17, Zhang established the Daxi regime in Sichuan, which belonged to Daning County.

In the Qing Dynasty, the system of "Tao" was established above prefectures, prefectures and counties. In the 6th year of Kangxi, Daning County was withdrawn and merged into fengjie county. In the seventh year of Yongzheng, Daning County was rebuilt, which was subordinate to the Kuizhou government in eastern Sichuan.

During the Republic of China, Daning County was subordinate to East Sichuan Road. In the third year of the Republic of China, it was renamed Wuxi County because of the same name as Daning County in Shanxi Province.

According to legend, in the pre-Qin period, there were dense forests on both sides of Daning River. A hunter surnamed Yuan met a white deer on the mountain. His arrow missed, so he chased it and drove it to the foot of Baoyuan Mountain, but there was no trace. The hunter was sweating all over. When he saw a mountain spring here, he stopped to drink on his stomach. He didn't know the water was salty until he drank it, so this place was called "Bailuyuan Salt Spring".

Folk rumors: Bailu was originally a fairy change, pointing out that local mountain people were looking for salt for a living. There are also rumors that after the immortal told the villagers that there was salt here, he was worried that the indigenous people would not store it, and he became an old man. He built his own house in Ningchang, personally made cooking tools for salt, set up a stove, and helped the indigenous people learn its production technology ... Later, he formed the "Seven Miles and a Half Street".

At the foot of North Baoyuan Mountain in Ningchang Town, there is a stone carving faucet, and clear springs gush out from both sides of Longkou Baozhu. This is the famous "Bailuyuan Salt Spring".

History: Wuxi Salt Field covers Sidaoqiao, Shawan, Zhangjiajian, Wangjiatan, Hengjiajian, Maliushu and other areas in Ningchang Ancient Town, with a total area of about 42,000 square meters, and is known as "Wanzao Salt Smoke".

According to experts' research, Wuxi salt spring is the earliest underground salt spring discovered and developed by Cubans. Before the well salt mining industry flourished, people in the surrounding areas of the Three Gorges around Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei and Hunan relied on Wuxi Yantian for farming and living. The earliest salt-making tool circulated among the people is the casserole stove. 199 1 year, when Wuxi county organized the construction of the highway from Ningchang to Wangu Township, more than 10 "pottery pots" were found on the east side of the brine pool in the ancient saltworks, and the diameter of the pot edge at the mouth of the pot was about 40 cm. According to the historical point of view of salt making, people used accumulated wages to cook salt in the early days, and the role of coal was discovered only after the shortage of wood, so loess was used to stir coal and fry salt. With a large number of domestic sales of sea salt and the development of well salt, Wuxi saltworks gradually shrank or even declined.

The cold water wells (rock wells, stone wells and wooden wells) in Ningchang salt stove area are clearly identifiable, which reminds people of the original utensils such as bittern-pulling wooden frame, bittern-lifting wooden barrel, bittern-turning wooden trough, clarified bittern wooden barrel, wooden wheel, wooden ladle and wooden pestle. Touch the brick brine ditch, filter the bamboo fence, hold the salt bag and draw the brine bamboo rope. I really want to be the salt master. Looking at those firewood and salt stoves, coal and salt stoves, earth cages, wooden towers and all kinds of iron pots, iron brazing rods, shovels, iron fishing rods ... especially the halogen-free iron plates and halogen-producing stone faucets, I feel a worship of our national ancestors.

In ancient Wuxi, prisons, counties, prefectures, officials and plank roads were set up for salt in the past dynasties ... which shows that the "gathering of thousands of businessmen" in Wuxi saltworks in the past is not empty talk.

There is Hongchiba National Forest Park in Wuxi, with an altitude of 2,630-2,800 meters and a total area of 24 1 km2, including forest area 104 km2 and grassland area 134 km2, which is the largest alpine grassland in southern China.

Wuxi has Jing Zhu Canyon: 7 kilometers long, and there are 24 Puzuyan coffins left in the canyon in the pre-Qin period.

Wuxi Lingwu Cave: Gong Lin, the main cave on the east coast, with a total length of1500m, consists of five parts: Xianweng Hall, Yuzhulin, Yaochi, Wanglongdian and Underwater World. Taoyuan Cave, the main cave on the west coast, has stalactites and large group sculptures. Known as "the first hole in the Three Gorges reservoir area".

Wuxi has Yuntai Mountain, yuntaiguan on the mountain, and the top of Miaoxia is spectacular.
