Shangluo's back garden

Dihua Ancient Town is located in the west of Danfeng County, Shangluo City, at 15km. It is named after its early years of rich flowers in Tang Di.

In ancient times, it was also a famous post station for commercial transactions. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Dihua Ancient Town was a prosperous place at the junction of Song and Jin Dynasties. Shops come and go, bustling, and passenger ships gather at the dock all day.

Jiapingwa literature birthplace

Jia Pingwa once said: In the southeast of Shaanxi, go down the Danjiang River and reach the junction of Danfeng County and Shangxian County. There is a village called Dihua Street, which is my hometown.

In ancient times, Dihua ancient town was prosperous because of political and trade exchanges, but with the changes of the times, it was once silent.

In modern times, the excellent Dihua ancient town gave birth to Jia Pingwa, a famous writer in Shaanxi. His novel "Shaanxi Opera" originated in Dihua ancient town, and now Qingfeng Old Street in the town is the prototype of the street in the article.

Jia Pingwa Museum of Literature and Art has also been built in the ancient town. Visitors can visit for free to learn about Jia Pingwa's creative career and his indissoluble bond with Dihua ancient town.

Go boating in Qingbo.

Walking on the streets of the ancient town is sparsely populated and quiet.

Although there are modern shops on both sides of the street, which are a little less antique than Ankang Railway and Tushui Fenghuang Ancient Town, there are food, drink and accommodation, and the construction of scenic spots is relatively comprehensive, which is more suitable for taking a family to play.

Now a thousand acres of lotus ponds have been planted in Dihua ancient town. In July, the temperature has risen recently, and the lotus flowers have also bloomed.

"Ling Boxian has a delicate fragrance and a drunken makeup." Lotus stands quietly in the water waves, and its petals glow on the beauty's cheeks like rouge gouache.

The biggest advantage of going to Dihua Ancient Town to enjoy the lotus flowers is that you can go boating in the lotus flowers, have a close contact with the lotus flowers, sit on the boat, swing leisurely, walk through the green lotus leaves, and the breeze blows over your face, which really answers the ancient poem "I want the stone lake flowers to be just right, and the boat will be cold the next day".

Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, visited the ancient town of Dihua three times and left an ancient poem here, "I heard that brothers in dreams should live in hotels, and their names should be Dihua in postal kiosks". History and modernity are integrated here. An ancient town needs friends to taste it slowly in order to understand the humanities and appreciate the beauty of the language.
