Fenghuang ancient town

Brief introduction of Fenghuang ancient town in Zhashui, looking for the lost old days

Fenghuang Ancient Town in Zhashui County is located on the Shechuan River, 45 kilometers southeast of Zhashui County, deep in the Qinling Mountains. It is an ancient town that experienced the dynasties of Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing. According to local historical records, there were fairs in fenghuang town in the Tang Dynasty. In the early years of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, businessmen from Henan, Hubei and Sichuan took a fancy to the advantages of convenient water transportation here and came to fenghuang town to do business and settle down. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, all kinds of commercial ports, shops and money houses were all over the streets, and the market was prosperous. Fenghuang town has gradually become an important commercial market town connecting the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to the south of Qinling Mountains. Known as little shanghai of Tussah Water.

Why fenghuang town? According to local residents, it is because the architectural pattern of the ancient town is built according to a phoenix flying high. When lighting at night, standing on the mountain in the east of the city overlooking, a netted street can outline a fire phoenix, and the left wing is clearly marked, which is an S-shaped old street.

People come and go in the old street, residents in the town do business and purchase, and tourists look around, which is very lively. Put all the goods in the store on the street, including daily necessities and local specialties. The ancient forging industry still exists.

Ancient town scenery

The buildings in Fenghuang Old Street are different from those in Guanzhong. From the appearance, it is more like Huizhou folk houses with white walls and blue tiles. The center and sides of the roof are decorated with lotus flowers or plum blossoms in the middle, and the sides are decorated with animal ridges or faucets. Many houses are three-in, three-open, and three yards are raised layer by layer. It is rainy in southern Shaanxi, and the buildings here, like many buildings in the south, pay more attention to drainage function. The pattern of the courtyard is basically a courtyard with four sides inclined to the center. There is a concealed pipe in the patio to discharge the rainwater to the outside, which is called four waters returning to the hall. The roof is herringbone, and dripping bricks are used in front of the eaves to prevent rainwater from spreading. The gable of the house is built from bottom to top, and the firewall is flush with the roof to prevent the fire of the adjacent house from spreading.

At present, the ancient city is in a state of protection and undeveloped. Visiting temple fairs will be a bit hasty, lacking core tourism products and no space for leisure and fashion. Generally speaking, the ancient city is very old, and the surrounding landscape is OK, but it needs development planning.

What's interesting about Fenghuang Ancient Town?

The scenic spots of Fenghuang Ancient City are as follows:

1. You have m.

Fenghuang ancient city, rows of diaojiao buildings, groups of literati, a Tuojiang River passing through the city. Maybe you see too many phoenix hearts in others. Here, based on my personal experience, I will talk about some places that the ancient city of Fenghuang should go.

1. Chaoyang Palace, located in Ximen Lane, was built in 4 years of the Republic of China. There is a high wall in front. There are 12 pairs of floating sculptures on the pink wall. There is a big stage at the entrance of the palace courtyard. The whole yard is like a palace, embossed with red lacquer and gold thread. The stage in Chaoyang Palace is the best preserved stage at present, with dignified and elegant modeling and exquisite craftsmanship. It is an artistic building with strong local architectural color.

2. Diaojiaolou-Fenghuang Ancient City is most famous for its antique and Tujia charm, but most of the Diaojiaolou by the river is gone. Only behind Longtan, there are still more than ten old houses, and thin-footed wooden columns stand in the river, supporting a long river of history.

3. Dacheng Hall, also known as Confucian Temple, was built in the forty-ninth year of Yuanxi and rebuilt in the nineteenth year of Daoguang. The building has cornice corners and panlong enclosure. The magnificent and lifelike portrait of Confucius in the hall. There are gold, silver and osmanthus trees planted in front of the temple, which are fragrant in autumn.

4. North Gate Tower-Built in the fifty-fourth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, it is located on the south bank of Tuojiang River. There are two floors on the city wall, the ancient brick building and the eight-hole fort. There is a lower door, wooden door panel, inlaid with iron plate, nailed to it, which reads Huimen Wall. It is embossed with all kinds of characters and monsters, which are exquisite and lifelike. The height of the city is10m, and the thickness is 4.5m, connecting the East Tower. Magnificent. Outside the city gate is an original transitional ancient bridge. This is what Shanxiang people call rock jumping. Beimentiaoyan was founded in the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1556).

5. Shen Congwen's former residence-Go straight from Dacheng Hall for more than 200 meters, and you will reach the former residence of the famous writer Shen Congwen. A typical Sihe ancient courtyard has an inner patio and 10 main rooms, wing rooms and front halls. Although it does not carve dragons and phoenixes, it is exquisite in workmanship, small and chic, antique, quiet and elegant. There are some photos that Shen Congwen showed to American teachers and Mo Bao.

6. Ancient City Wall-The thick ancient city wall connects the east and west gates. The ancient city wall was built in the 54th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, and the existing north gate wall was restored. Built along the river, connecting the east and north gates, it forms a magnificent barrier. This thick wall, like a page of history books, records the past swords and shadows.

7. Hongqiao-from the East Gate to Shawan Scenic Area. A lying Hongqiao spans the water and was built in the ninth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. Because the rocks used to build the bridge are all scarlet sandstone, after the bridge is completed, it looks like a rainbow lying across the river, so it is called Lying Hongqiao for short.

8. Shen Congwen is about 1.5km from Jiangxin Temple to Guanjing Mountain. A generation of literary giant Shen Lao sleeps here, with his back to the green hills and his face to the green water. Like Shen Lao's tombstone. This book says that if you think like me, you can understand me, and if you think like me, you can understand others. It reflects Shen Lao's writing attitude and philosophical thinking about human nature and life. There are flowers unbeaten in four seasons, and trees evergreen in spring and summer. Tourists come and go.

9. Yachang Pavilion-Opposite Hongqiao is the famous Yachang Pavilion, a hexagonal wooden attic-style residential structure with a height of 20 meters and triple eaves. It consists of 12 vermilion pillars, with six pillars outside the top and six pillars inside. Each pillar is one meter big, all carved beams and painted buildings, with cornices and corners, which are very beautiful. Next to Yao Changge is the Wan Pagoda of the New Eight Scenes. The tower is hexagonal, with seven floors, and bronze bells are hung on each floor, which is exquisite and beautiful. Standing on the bank of Tuojiang River, like a slim girl. The green water towers set each other off.

Besides these, there are more places worth visiting in Fenghuang ancient city, such as the Great Wall in the south, Miao village in Xianglu Mountain and Fenghuang ancient city.

How to save money: for example, if you live in an inn, you need to go to the Miao village bonfire party to buy special products. You can find your innkeeper and your friends who are familiar with Phoenix, and they will give you a local price.

Tip: When you get off the bus, someone will ask you if you need accommodation. If you want to visit there, you'd better ignore it and reduce the probability of being trapped.
