There is an ancient town 1400 years old hidden in the center of Leshan: there are many ancient towns in Jiazhou, and Suji can be counted.

Hello, I'm Xijiang Yuyue. I like staring blankly, reading books and walking alone. Let's go to the countryside, to the fireworks market, to experience the bright colors of the world of mortals, and to feel the same or different lives.

There are many ancient towns in Jiazhou, among which Suu Kyi is the most. Some people call Suji the only remaining ancient town in Leshan, saying that it does not use the old name as a gimmick, but naturally continues the beauty of the old life and is lovely with fireworks.

Suji ancient town, formed in Sui Dynasty, was originally named Guihuachang and has a history of 1400 years. Legend has it that a hermit named Su Mingji lived here, and there is also a saying that "Su Dongpo visited here". However, although Mr. Dongpo is a historical figure, he has never been an official in his hometown, so the investigation statement is not credible.

According to relevant records, the ancient town of Suji was named Suji Shu in the Tang Dynasty, Suji Town in the Song Dynasty, and Sujidian and Suji Township in the Qing Dynasty. 195 1 year, called xinqiao town; 1958 is called Suji commune; 1984 called xinqiao town; 19 1 year, also known as Suji town.

Suji ancient town is a well-known "hometown of dragon lanterns" and "hometown of calligraphy and painting", with many legends and stories. Suu Kyi is still a wonderful place overlooking Emei: "The scenery is cheerful and overlooking Emei Peak, and the white clouds are row upon row, which is indescribable. There are few clouds, the Qingfeng Mountain hangs alone, and the emerald color is breathtaking. "

Tianwang Ancient Temple on Diping Mountain in Suji has always been the first temple for tourists to worship Mount Emei, and it is also the starting point for Buddhists to worship Mount Emei. There has always been a saying that "Emei worships mountains first".

When it comes to the ancient town of Suji, we can't help but mention the "Jiading Silk" which enjoys a good reputation overseas. This Jiading is not Jiading and Leshan in Shanghai, but called Jiading House in ancient times.

The traditional word "le" means that white silk is produced in trees. Leshan has a long history of silk production, and famous silk products were produced in the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the silk industry in Suji, Leshan rose, and the Jiading County Records contained: "Those who are more than two feet wide are called tribute silk; Those who are less than two feet are called Tusi. " The best local silk is usually called Deng Yangsi. "

After development and improvement, Deng Yang silk has become the famous "Jiading Great Silk". Jiading silk is woven with local plain silk and traditional "water weaving method" with wood machine. This kind of silk is tight and soft, breathable and cool, and light and comfortable to wear. Due to the best-selling of silk, the silk industry in Suji area has flourished to this day.

"separated by a river, separated by two places, the two sides of the strait are the homes of the ancients." Emei River passes through the town, and Suji ancient town is divided into new town and old town, and the old and new towns are connected by Confucian bridge.

Rugong Bridge, a flooded stone bridge built in Qing Dynasty, is the longest existing 17-hole Pingliang ancient bridge in Leshan. It is an important bridge from Leshan to Emei official road in ancient times, which once carried people's livelihood, commerce and traffic on both sides.

In the past, Suji had a river, but there was no bridge. In the past, pedestrians had to rely entirely on wooden boats to ferry. On holidays, or in a hurry, the ferry will be very crowded and busy, and there will often be tragedies such as overloading and capsizing due to weather.

In the sixth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1856), Leshan County, Jiading Prefecture ordered people to visit the countryside and experienced the hardships of the transformation of Suji ancient town, so it was decided to build a stone bridge to facilitate pedestrians and horses passing by.

This stone bridge was built by craftsmen on both sides of the east and west. I don't know whether it is technical or geological structure. After the completion of the stone bridge, the east coast is about one foot higher than the west coast, and the west section will be flooded first every flood season.

This stone bridge is nearly 100 meters long and has 17 holes. It took more than a year to build. It is said that all the stones were mined from Ya 'an, then transported to the pier near Suji via Qingyi River, and then transported to the bridge construction site by young and strong manpower.

In order to thank the county grandfather for his good governance, the local elders named this flooded stone bridge "Rugong Bridge".

In the 100 years after its completion, Rugao Bridge was destroyed four times and rebuilt four times. At present, only pedestrians are allowed to cross the public bridge. Every time I am in a hurry, people still come and go on Rugao Bridge.

For more than a thousand years, time has flowed like Emei, and people in the ancient town have lived a leisurely life.
