Pingyao ancient city is the most intact ancient city in China at present. Because it looks like a turtle, it has been more than 1000 years, so people sometimes call it "turtle city". Today, I will show you around the ancient city of Pingyao as a little guide.

First, let's go to the upstairs gate and look down. There is a square town between the two gates, called urn. The urn has two functions. The first function is to collect rainwater for fear that it will flow out of the city. Because it is very dry here, rainwater is regarded as very precious, and even the herringbone frame on the roof of the house where people live is very short. Because of the fear of rain flowing into other people's homes, the old saying "rich water does not flow into outsiders" really needs to be answered.

The walls of Pingyao ancient city are very wide, and the walls are covered with big city bricks. There were several cannons on the city wall, which were the most powerful weapons at that time, so they were named "General SHEN WOO". People can take pictures here, because "soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers".

Let's go to the county government again. The county government sits facing south, and there are two big stone lions squatting on both sides of the main entrance. Opening their mouths looks terrible. The gate of the yamen is very high, and the two gates are thick and heavy, painted scarlet. Walking into the courtyard, the east and west rooms were places where taxes were collected and grain was collected in ancient times, each with six caves, which meant "Great Harmony in June and June". Further inside is a hall of great heroes, where the ancient county grandfather worked. There is a large plaque with a "mirror hanging high" on it, and many used torture devices in the trial hall are placed on the left and right sides, which makes people feel alert as soon as they enter. Bypass the main hall and enter the backyard, which is where the county grandfather eats and rests. There is a couplet hanging at the door, which means to treat the people as parents and do practical things for the people.
