Introduction of Qinglinkou Ancient Town: One-day Tour

Qingkou ancient town is a small town with Bashu style, which is favored by tourists. It has a very long history, and some ancient buildings have been well preserved. The ancient temperament and culture here have influenced the hearts of every tourist, and it is a good place to play.

I seem to remember that since I came to Mianyang in 20 12, I have been to the ancient town of Qinglinkou for more than 10 times, and I have been there all year round. But I am in a hurry most of the time. Did not seriously understand the history of the ancient town, feel the local customs.

We stayed all day because of the weather. With more time, we will slowly wander around the ancient town, carefully watch the style of the ancient town, slowly taste the pastoral atmosphere of the town, and condense into our travel notes.

Linkou Ancient Town is located in a small ravine in the southwest of Erlangmiao Town, about 40 kilometers northeast of jiangyou city. Located on the main roads of Zitong, Jiange and Jiangyou counties, Tongjiang meets another small river-Qingyunxi (He Qian). The ancient town is very small, and few people know that it maintains the tranquility that an ancient town should have.

In summer, the temperature of Qinglinkou is suitable, and the ancient town located in the mountains is more like a quiet paradise. The mountains in the ancient town are not high but beautiful and elegant, the water is not deep but clear, and the land is not wide but quiet.

Historically, it used to be a traffic artery, and the Shu Road in the Three Kingdoms crossed the street and gradually developed into an ancient town with developed commerce. Businessmen gather, and there are many halls and temples everywhere, which has also become a market in northwest Sichuan. Since 1999, the crew of CCTV's Journey to the West has filmed two sets of exterior scenes here, which has a good reputation.

In March, 20 13, Qinglinkou ancient buildings were announced by the State Council as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units, and in August of the same year, Qinglinkou village was named as the second batch of traditional villages in China. Founded in Yuan Dynasty, it flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking into Qinglinkou, the street looks a bit shabby.

There are ancient eaves-type wood structures in residential buildings, some quadrangles, three-step desktop buildings and strange diaojiao buildings. These buildings are decorated with carved beams, painted buildings, doors and windows, and green columns. They are typical antique buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties, with typical urban style in northern Sichuan.

Soon after entering the ancient town, I saw the Fu Family Courtyard, which is said to be the private residence of Fu Shoulong, the champion of longan in Qing Dynasty. Now the house has not been renovated, and it feels rather shabby.

The total length of the streets in the ancient town is about two Li. This street is divided into new street and old street. The old street is built along the southern foot of Wangye Mountain, facing the river. The buildings in the old street were mainly built in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, while the new street was built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Lintong River, built at the southern foot of Renzi Mountain, is separated from Laojie River by a river. The two streets are separated by the Qinglin River, which is more than ten meters wide, and connected by a covered bridge "Heyi Bridge" (now the Red Army Bridge). A wooden bridge was built over the river.

According to records, this wooden bridge named "Heyi Bridge" was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (179 1). In the spring of the third year of Jiageng (1800), Anbalism burned down the wooden bridge in order to stop the pursuit of the Qing army. After the war subsided, people on both sides of the strait raised 2200 taels of silver to build a new three-hole stone arch bridge on the original basis.

The whole bridge is mountain-shaped, and the stone bridge has three arches, which stand on the deck in three sections. There is an archway at the bridge head, painted with various patterns and relief figures, and metal wind chimes are tied to every corner of the covered bridge. You can hear the bells when the breeze blows. Built by mountains and rivers. The old and new streets seem to have some aura of the old city, so the old city is small and elegant.

There is a Fujian-Guangdong guild hall in the middle of the ancient town, which was built during the Tongzhi period. There is a plaque of "Civilization in the World" in the third year of Qing Dynasty on the door, and there are "Ten Thousand Years Stage" and "Mazu Tempel" in the hall. This used to be the headquarters of the Red Thirty Army.

This ancient town is where the Red Army passes. I am deeply

One of the most memorable is the "Red Army Bridge". The Red Army lived in Qinglinkou for more than a month and was ordered to move. When retreating, a female Red Army soldier named Liu was seriously injured and could not be transferred with the team. She is now placed in the home of a silversmith named Yang in the town, but unfortunately it was discovered by the Kuomintang.

Female Red Army soldiers would rather die than surrender under the cruel torture of the enemy, and died heroically on the stake of Heyi Bridge. In memory of her, the locals renamed He the Red Army Bridge. The blood of martyrs soaked the bridge, giving this ancient covered bridge the imprint of red culture.

"In the eyes of Qinglinkou people, the Red Army Bridge is not only a bridge connecting the two sides of the strait, but also represents the spirit that the Red Army is not afraid of sacrifice and danger for the revolution." Nowadays, the red culture with the Red Army Bridge as the core has become a business card of Qinglinkou ancient town. People often come to the "Red Army Bridge" in Qinglinkou to remember the revolutionary martyrs and inherit the spirit of the Long March, which is not afraid of hardship and selfless dedication.

On the wall of Huanggong Temple on the other side of Tongjiang River in the ancient town, there is still a painting 25 meters long and 2 meters high, which reads "The Red Army is the savior of the Chinese nation and working people!" The biggest slogan written in ink in China is amazing. According to records, after the Red Army went north, the Kuomintang changed the first word "red" to "country", so the slogan was handed down. After liberation, the government changed the first word "Guo" in the slogan to the original "Hong". This process is called "word" struggle.

Nowadays, there are not many villagers and tourists in the ancient town, but there are still many stalls on the street. Famous foods in the ancient town include tofu feast, peach blossom, wrapped eggs, dried tofu and so on.

The magnificent scenery of the rippling rivers and flying bridges attracted many tourists. The cable bridge across Tongjiang River, formerly known as Yongji Bridge, is now renamed as "Crossing Tongjiang River", which was newly built after the earthquake. The poem "Tongjiang, Shuisuo Town, Yunlou, Zhang Sanfeng, Guilin, Qingyun Road, Shanzhai, Holy Land, and ancient town Qinglin are all in the painting" is a praise for the humanistic and natural landscape here. It was once listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Jiangyou.

After crossing the cable bridge, we came to the "Huangjia Courtyard", which is said to be the parting courtyard of a deputy director of the public security bureau in Zitong County during the Republic of China. When the Red Army passes by, consider it a Red Army grain regiment.

The old street connected by "Red Army Bridge" is next to "Qingyun Creek", that is, Heqian River, and the streets of the old street seem a little deserted. Just a good place to relax naturally when you are tired of playing.

There is a teahouse called Qingyun Club, which is very elegant and beautiful and has the flavor of traditional Chinese style. The layout of things in the house is typical of northwest Sichuan style. Going upstream along Qingyun Creek, I found an ancient bodhi tree growing by the river, the exact age of which is unknown.

The lower street of the old street is narrower and longer. There is a "temple of fire" at the end of the street, which is currently being renovated. We haven't been able to go in yet.

We played all day and will leave the ancient town after dinner. This day is a rare day to relax, as if time had slowed down here. I feel that anyone who is under great pressure is suitable for a good stroll in Qinglinkou Town.
