Where is Qionglai, Sichuan located?

Qionglai, known as Linqiong in ancient times, has a history of more than 2,300 years and is one of the four ancient cities in Bashu. Rich in resources and uniquely blessed by nature. The territory belongs to the subtropical humid monsoon climate zone, with no severe cold in winter and no extreme heat in summer. The climate is mild, with abundant rainfall and four distinct seasons. The landforms within the territory include mountains, hills and dams. There are endless green fields, rolling green mountains, gentle rivers and numerous natural landscapes. Tiantai Mountain, a provincial scenic spot, is famous for its "strange mountains, strange rocks, secluded forests and beautiful water". It has a vivid portrayal of "90 miles long river, 800 rivers, 9,000 strange rocks and 2,000 peaks". The eastern and northeastern parts of the city are flat and the terrain is flat, open and slightly undulating. In the Wumian Mountain and Changqiu Mountain areas in the south, there are continuous shallow hills and ponds. The northwest edge of the central part is composed of deep hills, which is the transition zone between shallow hills and western mountains. The climate in the area is warm and cool, and it is rich in tea. It is the city's grain, tea, forest, mulberry and pastoral area. To the west is the extended mountain system of the southern section of Longmen Mountain. The terrain is highly undulating, with overlapping mountains and crisscrossing ravines. The territory is lined with rivers and is rich in water resources. Nanhe River, Qijiang River, Xiejiang River, Pujiang River and Yuxi River flow through the territory, with a total length of 217.15 kilometers.

In the 14th year of Gengyuan (311 BC), King Huiwen of Qin sent Shu governor Zhang Ruo to take charge of the construction of the three cities (it is said that Zhang Yi also participated in the construction), because there were always Qiong people (Qiong people) in Linqiong's hometown. They lived together, so they named it Linqiong. There are many shops in Linqiong City, which are large in scale. The city is located in Linqiong Town, Qionglai today. Over the past 2,300 years of evolution, Linqiong City has gone through many vicissitudes, and the city walls have been broken many times. In 1958, the city wall was demolished and a road surrounding the city was built. However, the outline of the ancient city is clearly visible and the moat remains as it was before. On January 5, 1950, the Party Committee of the Western Sichuan District of the Communist Party of China sent 18 cadres including Zhou Zhongda and Li Zhiguang to Qiong to take over the management of local work from the People's Liberation Army. On January 16, the Qionglai County People's Government was established.

Qionglai has a long history and a long history of culture. It has 12 key cultural relics protection units at the national, provincial and Chengdu municipal levels. The relationship between Qionglai and Zhuo Wenjun cannot be said to be close. In fact, it should be said that there are two women in the history of Qionglai: Wenjun and Huang Chongxia. "Wen Jun is a monk, and his appearance is like a piece of cloth" has long been passed down through the ages. For the sake of love, he regarded the world as if it were nothing. The meaning of the time and the local feelings are worthy of the regrets of future generations. Huang Chongxia is a female champion who disguises herself as a man. Perhaps its reputation is due to the words in Xu Wei's Zaju "Four-Voice Ape". Nowadays, Wenjun's name has become part of the wine culture, but Chongxia's name has become unknown. I don’t know if it’s because of economic reasons. Qionglai's national key cultural relics protection units, the Qiong Kiln Ruins and the Stone Pagoda of the Southern Song Dynasty, are praised by experts as priceless treasures; the Wenjun Well, a historical site in the Western Han Dynasty, the "Fire Well" which was the first human to develop and utilize natural gas, and the exquisite Tang Dynasty cliff statues of Stalagmite Mountain, the second largest in the country. The high brick tower Huilan Pagoda is breathtaking.

Qionglai is "China's largest original liquor base." For more than 2,000 years, Qiong Liquor has always enjoyed a high reputation, which comes from its unique brewing conditions and exquisite traditional craftsmanship. There are more than 700 alcohol production and sales companies in the city, with an annual output of 300,000 tons of liquor and 100,000 tons of beer. The food industry, led by wine, has an output value of 2.3 billion yuan and is a "strong county in the food industry" named by the China Food Industry Association. Next to the Wenjing River with beautiful green water, and close to the lush Wumian Mountain, the "Western China Ecological Food and Beverage Base" covering an area of ??3,000 acres is under construction. Qionglai is the first place in the world where natural gas was discovered and used. As early as the Han Dynasty, natural gas was used for salt production, cooking and lighting. The natural gas reserves in the territory exceed 30 billion cubic meters, making it the largest gas supply base in western Sichuan. In the process of accelerating the industrialization of agriculture, Qionglai has formed four major characteristic industries, mainly tea, bamboo, animal husbandry, and sericulture. At present, the people of Qionglai are working hard to build a strong economic city with distinctive industrial characteristics, a famous cultural city with rich historical heritage, and a new ecological district with beautiful natural environment, moving towards a modern medium-sized city, depicting a brilliant future of "Bordeaux in the East, Colorful City in Tianfu".
