Introduction of Qinglinkou Ancient Town

Qinglinkou ancient town is a small town with Bashu style that is favored by tourists. It has a very long history, and some old buildings have been perfectly preserved. The quaint temperament and culture here have influenced the hearts of every visitor, and it is a good place to visit.

I seem to remember that since I came to Mianyang in 212, I have been to the ancient town of Qinglinkou for no less than 1 times, and I have visited it in all seasons. But most of the time it is in a hurry. Did not seriously understand the history of the ancient town and feel the local customs.

Because of the weather, I stayed for a whole day. With plenty of time, we slowly wandered around the ancient town, watched the features of the ancient town in detail, slowly tasted the rural flavor of the town, and condensed it into our travel notes with words.

qinglinkou ancient town is located in a small ravine in the southwest of Erlangmiao town, about 4km northeast of jiangyou city. It is located in the traffic arteries of Zitong, Jiange and Jiangyou counties, where Tongjiang meets another small river, Qingyun Creek (Qianhe). The ancient town is very small, few people know it, and it maintains the tranquility that an ancient town should have.

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

In history, it used to be a traffic artery. In addition, the ancient Shu Road in the Three Kingdoms crossed the street, and it gradually developed into an ancient town with developed commerce, merchants, halls and temples, and became a market in northwest Sichuan. Since 1999, the The Journey to the West sequel crew of CCTV filmed two episodes of location here, and its reputation has risen sharply.

In March p>213, Qinglinkou Ancient Architecture Complex was 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. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking into Qinglinkou, the street looks a bit shabby.

The houses are built with ancient eaves-type wooden structures, and there are also some quadrangles, three-step desktop buildings, as well as strange hanging stilts. These buildings are decorated with carved beams, painted buildings, doors and windows, and green stone pillars. They are typical antique buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties and have typical town style in northern Sichuan.

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

The total length of the street in the ancient town is about 2 Li. The street is divided into Xin Street and Lao 'er Street. The old street was built along the river at the southern foot of Wangye Mountain. The buildings of the old street were mainly built in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, while the new street was built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Lintong River, built on the southwest foot of Renzi Mountain, is separated from Laojie River. The two streets are separated by Qinglinxi, which is more than ten meters wide, and connected by a covered bridge "Heyi Bridge" (now Red Army Bridge). A wooden bridge has been built on the stream.

According to records, this wooden bridge is called "Heyi Bridge", which was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1791). In the spring of Jiaqing Gengshen (18), in order to stop the Qing army from hunting, the white lotus believers burned the wooden bridge. After the war subsided, the people on both sides of the strait raised 2,2 pieces of silver and built a new three-hole stone arch bridge on the original basis.

The whole bridge is in the state of overlapping mountains, and the stone bridge has three arches, which stand on the deck in three sections. There is a memorial archway at the bridge head, painted with various patterns and embossed figures, and a metal wind chime is tied to each corner of the covered bridge. When the breeze blows, you can still hear the crisp and pleasant bell sound. Built by mountains and rivers and rivers. New and old streets seem to have some aura in the ancient town, so the ancient town is small and graceful.

In the middle of the ancient town, there is a Fujian-Guangdong Guild Hall, namely Guangdong Guild Hall, which was built in Tongzhi period. On the door, there is a big plaque of "Civilization in the World" in the three years of Qing Xuantong, and there are "Ten Thousand Years Stage" and "Mazu Tempel" in the hall. It used to be the headquarters of the Red Thirty Army.

The ancient town was the place where the Red Army walked. In Qinglinkou, I deeply felt a strong red cultural atmosphere. In April 1935, the Hong Jiu Army and the Red Thirty Army of the Red Fourth Front Army entered Qinglinkou via Jiange, where they established the Soviet regime and left many revolutionary historical sites.

The most memorable one is the "Red Army Bridge"

. After living in Qinglinkou for more than a month, the Red Army was ordered to move. When it was evacuated, a female Red Army soldier named Liu was seriously injured and could not move with the team. She was placed in the home of a silversmith named Yang in the town, but was unfortunately found out by the Kuomintang "Qing * * * team".

The female Red Army soldiers would rather die than surrender in the cruel torture of the enemy, and died bravely on the wooden pillar at Heyi Bridge. In memory of her local people, Heyi Bridge was renamed Red Army Bridge. The blood of the martyrs stained the bridge, which made this ancient covered bridge bear 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 Red Army's spirit of not fearing sacrifice and danger for the revolution". Nowadays, the red culture with the Red Army Bridge as the core has become a business card of the ancient town of Qinglinkou. People often come to the "Red Army Bridge" in Qinglinkou to cherish the memory of revolutionary martyrs and inherit the spirit of the Long March without fear of hardship and selfless dedication.

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

Today, there are not many villagers and tourists in the ancient town, but there are still many stalls in the street. The famous foods in the ancient town include tofu feast, peach blossoms, wrapped eggs and dried tofu.

The blue waves of Tongjiang River are rippling, and the magnificent scenery of flying bridges has attracted many tourists. The iron cable bridge across Tongjiang River was originally named Yongji Bridge, but now it is renamed as "Yidu of Tongjiang River", which is a newly-built iron cable bridge after the earthquake. The poem "Tongjiang in Yunlou Suoshui Town, Zhang Sanfeng in Guilin, Qingyun Road in Shanzhai, the holy land, and the ancient town of Qinglin in the painting" is a compliment to the humanities and natural landscape here. It was once listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Jiangyou.

After crossing the Tiesuo Bridge, we came to the "Huangjia Courtyard", which is said to be the other courtyard of a public security bureau deputy director surnamed Huang in Zitong County during the Republic of China. When the Red Army passed by, it was used as a Red Army food regiment.

The old street connected by the Red Army Bridge is next to Qingyun Creek, also called Qianhe River, and the streets of the old street seem a little deserted. But it is a better place to relax naturally after playing tired.

There is a teahouse named "Qingyun Club", which is very elegant and beautiful, with the flavor of traditional Chinese style. The layout of items in the house is typical of northwest Sichuan style. Going upstream along Qingyun Creek, we also found an ancient bodhi tree growing by the river, and the specific age of its growth is unknown.

The lower street of the old street is even narrower and longer. At the end of the street, there is a "Temple of Fire", which is currently being renovated, but we have not been able to enter to watch it.

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