Since the reform and opening up, the economy of the old city has developed rapidly, and the economy with regional characteristics has begun to take shape. The five pillar industries of pig, fruit, feed, cotton and oilseed and the four pillar industries of feed, machinery, textile and building materials have developed rapidly. The old people in the old city are not old, and the vicissitudes of life still exist. Now, 56,000 people in the old city warmly welcome you to invest in the old city.

The old city, in the Stone Age, was the place where our ancestors lived, with a prosperous civilization and famous Jingchu. In ancient times, it was named after or adjacent to the city of Shangming and Xiangkou. Because of its long history, it was named the ancient city. At the beginning of the establishment of the county, overseas Chinese in Songzi were the governing offices, which began in the Jin Dynasty and lasted for more than a thousand years until AD 1949.

Located on the Yangtze River, the ancient city has the title of Shu and Chu, bordering Wuling and Yu Xiu, Zhong Ling. Regular city walls, east and west, north and south, four streets and twelve lanes, many temples, prosperous temples, morning bells and drums, Menglian Taiwan excellent; The market is bustling, merchants gather, go out early and return late at the fair, and travel by boat is tiring. There are many scenic spots on the calendar, such as Kaili Temple, Dengyun Building, Guandi Temple, Lianyun Tower, Yizhuguan and Wenchang Palace. On behalf of the Ministry of War Shangshu Wu, Prince Shaobao Peng Chengyao, and the Ministry of War Doctor Wang went down in history. In modern times, in the 1930s, the old town higher primary school hall and county library were first built, which opened up contemporary civilization. Up and down for thousands of years, the old people in the city are not old, keep pace with the times and look brand-new.

However, the vicissitudes of the world, the vicissitudes of life, old monuments, oral heritage, and even a legacy have survived, suddenly lost to the world, scattered all over the place, although it is a treasure, it has suffered storms. Hu Qingyun, the first cultural stationmaster of Guzhen, made sincere efforts in the construction of "Ancient Town Cultural Relics Park" in 1978, pleading with Confucian general Zhang Aiping to write the name of the park in person. Collect more than 70 historical relics and arrange and display them. Later, I collected the handwriting of celebrities such as Xu, Zhang Aiping, Yang Chengwu, Huang Zhizhen and the handwriting of county leaders such as Yuan and collected "Protection and Education is of great benefit". It is the first township-level cultural relic park in China, which has been reported by many news media at home and abroad and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad.

Shi Sheng Chongwen Cultural Relics Park has been built for more than 20 years, and has been the stationmaster, conscientious and sleepless at night. Hu Wenquan, the successor stationmaster, maintained the cultural station and supervised the re-establishment of the unearthed "July 7th Anti-Japanese War Monument". Chen Nengyue, the third stationmaster at that time, raised funds, operated capital and won social support through various means. A hundred days later, he completely renovated the cultural relics park and preserved the cultural relics, rebuilt the gatehouse, re-engraved "Ancient Town Opera" and newly engraved "Records of Cultural Relics Park" to comfort the sages and show visitors. Connecting the past with the future, someone makes contributions on behalf of others, and the responsibilities can be taught. Their career can be demonstrated, their virtues can be passed down, and their achievements can be passed down.

The self-construction and prosperity of the cultural relics park in the old city depends on the attention of the municipal and town governments and the cultural bureau, the care of the leaders and the full support of all walks of life. In chronological order, successive county leaders such as Xu Qingyao, Zhao, Yuan,; Zhang and Zhang, leaders of the county (city) Cultural Bureau; Town leaders, He Yuanchang, Chen Lunzhi, Wang of Town Land Management Office, Yu Bing of Town Urban Construction Office, etc. , or for planning, or for funding, or for land acquisition, or for public works, do their jobs, do their best, advocate enlightenment, and be silent. The wind is precious, and the style should last forever!
