Poetry describing the charm of the ancient city

The poems that describe the charm of the ancient city are as follows:

The first poem:

Baliu calls to find friends, and birds sing in harmony on the ancient Chencang Road. Singing softly to Yishui with tea, chanting slightly to the peak of sweat while drinking wine. We learn from each other how to seek Buddhist principles, and we exchange plain notes to explore the scriptures. There is no need to go back to the orphanage late at night, just hug your knees and enjoy the wind in front of the window.

Second song:

The banana trees are green in the ancient capital, and the streets in the south are green with willows. The flowers in the autumn pond in the small courtyard are in full bloom, and the water on the pavilion is drifting. The three lanes are full of hibiscus and the seven lanes are full of peacock feathers. The banyan trees are decorated with lanterns, and the clear breeze and bright moon illuminate the Orchid Pavilion.

The third song:

The auspicious energy of Chang'an has long been dim, and the shadow of the hero's soul can still be seen. The mother-of-pearl hairpins on the ground accompany the dusk rain, and the smoke from the burning pit enters the fragrance of flowers. Afang hides away from the world and hides the traces of the emperor, and the earthen figurines turn into coin kings at the right time. When you wake up in the year of turtle, you should laugh, and you can distinguish Qin Opera from Kang Shuang.

The fourth song:

The vicissitudes of life are gone, and the mist and rain are passing away. I raise my head and look at the high altar in the distance. Not much of the old city can be seen, only two or three lines of old sentences are left. Several layers of floating earth covered the steps, and a few people walked around the hall. I feel the cool breeze and the sun is setting, but who knows where the saintliness is.

Introduction to the ancient city:

An ancient city generally refers to an urban settlement with a history of more than a hundred years and large-scale ancient buildings that are still well preserved in modern times or have been repaired and basically restored to their original appearance. The ancient city is the external manifestation of the history and culture of a place and the only cultural heritage of mankind.

Characteristics of ancient cities:

Cities that were once famous in ancient times, but now have large-scale ancient residential buildings that have disappeared, are generally not called ancient cities, but are called "famous historical and cultural cities". China has a long history and has many famous historical and cultural cities, but the only ancient cities that can be preserved intact are Pingyao Ancient City, Lijiang Ancient City, Langzhong Ancient City, etc.

Many "ancient cities" generally only have ancient city walls, moats and some ancient buildings in the city, and large-scale ancient city features no longer exist. There are also many well-preserved ancient cities abroad, such as Malacca Ancient City, Hoi An Ancient City, etc.

Pingyao Ancient City:

Pingyao Ancient City is located in the central part of Shanxi Province. It was first built in the period of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty and expanded in the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370). It has a history of more than 2,700 years. It is one of the four ancient cities in China and one of the only two ancient cities in China that has successfully applied for a world cultural heritage as an entire ancient city.

The World Heritage Center describes: Pingyao Ancient City is an outstanding example of ancient Chinese cities in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Pingyao Ancient City has preserved all its characteristics. Moreover, in the development of Chinese history, it shows people an extraordinary complete picture of cultural, social, economic and religious development.
