Travel notes of Aoki Chuan

? On May 3rd, 20 19, during the May Day holiday, I took my family and invited some friends to Qingmuchuan, an ancient town with mountains, waters and stories.

On the way, the car passed through the mountains and it was drizzling. The trees on the roadside seem to have been cleaned, and the air is particularly humid, which makes people feel relaxed and happy! Friends all fantasize about what Qingmuchuan looks like and what kind of stories it has. More than an hour's journey, gradually surrounded by mountains, the Qingmuchuan archway made of bluestone appeared in the fog, like a girl who had just bathed in milk, fresh and refined, charming and moving! Everyone wants to unveil its mystery as soon as it shines!

? Clear water surrounds the village, and green hills reflect the countryside! Qingmuchuan ancient town has a long history. Because it is located at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, it is known as the three provinces of crowing, and it is also named after an Aoki tree on Sichuan Road! Founded in Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, it has a history of more than 540 years. It is the gateway to Guanzhong, southern Shaanxi, Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong scenic spots in Hubei. It runs north and south, and a clear Jinxi River is like a jade belt, which divides the town into two independent blocks-Huilongchang Old Street and Xinjie Street! A quaint and chic flying phoenix connects the two places.

In the blink of an eye, the sun and the moon flew! Although it has been a long time, it has precipitated the essence of Qingmuchuan and thickened the historical background! Walking in Qingshi Alley, at first glance, the small bridges on the streets of "Qingmuchuan Ancient Town", "Feng Fei Building" and "Pastoral Inn" are full of flowers, various sculptures and interesting! Xifeng Building is located in the center of the town, more than 30 meters high, and it is transparent in all directions. It seems to embrace tourists from all directions with a broad mind and tell the story of past lives in Qingmuchuan! Despite the changes of time, the ancient tile eaves are covered with pale Dai, and there are still scratches on the dim wallboard and exquisite window lattice, which still can't hide the tranquility and elegance of the ancient town, the simplicity and peace, and the long-term chaos!

? Historically, it is a place where Qiang and Han people live together and an ecological home where all ethnic groups live in harmony. Red lanterns are hung high in front of every household, China Festival, big red flowers are everywhere, and "sheep heads" are hung in front of many households. Guo Jinkui, the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of the Qiang people, performs a stunt "Nuo Opera" in the "Furen Drama Club" every day, which not only allows tourists to watch, understand and feel the unique charm of the "living fossil of drama" at close range, but also spreads the intangible cultural heritage of the Qiang people. While adding some festive colors to the festival, it shows the profoundness of China traditional culture and the cultural characteristics of Qiang people!

Shuttle back and forth between Huilongchang Old Street and the ancient plank road. From the historical footprint, you will feel that it is a "treasure land" where merchants gather. The ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Hanyan Pavilion, Rongshengtang, Yanguan, Rong Sheng Yard and Furen Drama Club, are still well preserved, and their charm still exists! Local residents set up stalls in front of their houses, recommending and selling wild delicacies and various handicrafts to every visitor, especially the wisps of wine and special snacks such as "walnut cake", "Dutch sweet cake", "dried bean curd" and "barrel fish", which made people feast their mouths! Every holiday, the traffic here is full of tourists, which is a vivid picture of "Riverside Scene on Qingming Festival", showing the bustling scene of Qingmuchuan!

One side of the soil and water raises one side! It is the birthplace of a generation of fierce Wei. His original name was Wei Yuangui, and he was the third among the three brothers. He entered a private school at the age of eight, 16 years old Jinshi. From 13 to the end of the 38th year of the Republic of China (1949 12), he became "the helmsman of Qingmuchuan" in one fell swoop, and successively built houses, built a school for catching people, dug weirs and canals, set up enterprises, rectified public order and was ordered to eliminate bandits. Wei's home is near Fenghuang Mountain in the west of the city, where he handles government affairs and lives. The house is composed of old and new binary courtyards, covering an area of 2,000 temples, overlooking the word "Tian", and there is a "Tang Fu" spring in front of the new house, which is known as "Phoenix stays away from fish ponds, and immortals live in villas for the New Year"! This house is well preserved so far, and it is a landmark building of Qingmuchuan!

Look up at the thin plank road, the house reflects the river, and the trees are sparse! Huilong Pavilion was built at the highest place next to Qingmuchuan Town and stood on the observation deck. At first glance, Qingmuchuan has a panoramic view. The town of Qingmuchuan in the rain is illusory, with scattered quadrangles and unique "boathouses" rising from the ground, and the Tang Dynasty, which combines Chinese and western styles, is like a paradise. In the drizzle, red lanterns and petals that have not faded, as well as neon lights on the bar street, are hidden in the fog, adding infinite spring to this quiet and ancient town!

Good birds don't fly in vain, savage lives in the nest!

? Qingmuchuan, an ancient town full of legend and quaint charm, a place with the most charm and story, a pure land that people can't put down, and deserves to be called a famous historical and cultural town in China!

? Goodbye, Aoki Chuan, see you next year!

The covered bridge is picturesque.
