Talk about visiting qikou town.

It is said that the unique vicissitudes and sense of time in the ancient town have an attractive special charm.

But you may be tired of Jiangnan water town and have seen all the towns in Yunnan and Guizhou. Why not follow Ben Xiao Lv into the land of Sanjin this time and explore Qikou Town hidden by the Yellow River?

Seeing the ancient town near the Yellow River was not a surprise, but then I fell into deep thought. How to pronounce this moraine "moraine"?

After some exploration by Ben Xiao Lv, I found that this word is not simple.

Since the word "Qie" is not simple, Qikou Town started with this word.

"moraine" is pronounced "qi" and its original meaning is sandy shoal.

Qikou is located at the foot of Lvliang Mountain and on the bank of the Yellow River, so it refers to the rapids shoal formed by the topographic relief of the Yellow River.

In ancient times, the traffic was inconvenient, and the Yellow River waterway was an important channel to communicate northwest and north China.

However, since the Qikou of the Yellow River, the river channel has shrunk, the reefs in the river channel have increased, and the river channel gap is large, which is easy to form rapids.

Sailing is so difficult that even experienced boatmen dare not sail easily. As the saying goes, "Sailing on the Yellow River turns pale." .

Therefore, the goods are all transported by water to Qikou, where they can only be transported to Taiyuan, Beijing, Tianjin and other places by mules, horses and camels, and then transported back to the northwest by water.

There is a local saying that "an endless load of Qikou fills an endless load of Wucheng", which shows the prosperity of Qikou at that time.

As a land and water transportation hub, Qikou became an important commercial town in the north in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, known as the "first town of the Yellow River in Jiuqu" and one of the birthplaces of Shanxi merchants.

The ancient town in the south is elegant and exquisite, and Qikou Town in the northwest is even more heroic.

The yellow-gray background of the loess plateau is endless; The Yellow River water from the north is magnificent; The ancient town built on the mountain is traditional and atmospheric.

Qikou Inn, with a history of 100 years, is one of the landmark buildings in the ancient town.

The original name of the inn is Sihetang. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, a businessman bought it with four silver shares, hence the name. At that time, it was mainly to make sesame oil. At its peak, there was a scene of "a hundred boats moored in front of the window and a thousand camels at the door".

Now Qikou Inn is mainly for accommodation, just opposite huanghe road, where you can enjoy the scenery of the Yellow River.

Black Dragon Temple is another landmark of the ancient town.

Navigation on the water is extremely dangerous, and the Black Dragon Temple, which stands tall on Wohu Mountain, has become a road sign that businessmen are flocking to.

After a long time of transporting water, I unloaded the goods here and bid farewell to the dangerous Yellow River for the time being.

This Black Dragon Temple was built in Ming Dynasty, and it is dedicated to Black Dragon, Hebo, Fengbo and others, so as to ensure the safety of navigation and rich financial resources.

During Yongzheng period, a music building was also built, where businessmen who returned safely sang operas and made wishes, and now there are still troupes singing operas here every year. The sound transmission effect here is very good, and it can reach the other side of the Yellow River. Therefore, there is also a saying that "Shanxi sings opera and Shaanxi listens".

Standing in front of the temple, you can overlook the Yellow River, watch the winding lingshui river at close range, and have a panoramic view of the ancient town in the Drum Tower.

Walking on the street paved with stone slabs, there are wooden and masonry shops on both sides, weathered wooden doors and bright stone steps in front of the door, all showing traces of time.

The busyness of the ferry has brought prosperity to Qikou Town, and profitable businessmen have built houses nearby. Xiwan Village, which is only one kilometer away from Qikou Town, is a typical example.

Xiwan Village is the home of a businessman named Chen in Qikou, which was gradually built from the late Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, after more than 300 years.

Xiwan Village is located on the west bank of Suishui River, surrounded by mountains and waters, with beautiful scenery.

The residential building is built on the mountain, and the wall of the building varies according to the change of the mountain. They are scattered in the mountains, and all the courtyards are connected by two horizontal, five vertical and seven lanes. Courtyards are connected, and households are connected.

About 5 kilometers away from Qikou Town, there is also a village dominated by Li-Lijiashan.

After several generations of reproduction, the Li family had two rich people in the Qing Dynasty.

There are two small gullies in Lijiashan, which flow into the Yellow River after they meet in the south of the village. The promontory between two gullies is like a phoenix head. The east rich man's house is built on the phoenix, and the west rich man's house is built on the right wing of the phoenix. The left wing of Phoenix is the old village.

The houses in Lijiashan are mostly brick-domed quadrangles, decorated with exquisite bricks, wood, stone carvings and plaques.

Wu Guanzhong, a famous painter, wrote when visiting Lijiashan: "I made an important discovery in Shanxi-Lijiashan Village at Qiaokou, Linxian County. From the outside, it looks like a desolate Han tomb. As soon as you enter, it is a very old and exquisite cave. The ancient village is relatively closed, like an isolated peach blossom garden. "

If you want to explore the original ecological ancient villages in Shanxi, go to these two villages, which are quiet and primitive.

Today, the waves of the Yellow River remain the same, and the prosperity is no longer there.

Walk in the ancient town and see the old shops; Standing in front of the Black Dragon Temple overlooking the ancient town; By the Yellow River, watching the sunset on the Yellow River seems to have gone through a hundred years.

Today's Qikou, tourists from three places, students sketching, and old people in front of the courtyard are even more simple and pure.

Have another taste of Yellow River fish, Luliang Mountain wine and Qiaokou pasta. Besides, Qikou Town can take away memories.

If you also like ancient towns, Qikou will bring different feelings.

In the vast world, on the edge of the magnificent Yellow River, there is a little more heroic spirit.

People in this city, fleeing from the hustle and bustle, just want to go to the Yellow River and watch the sunset on the Yellow River.
