An ancient post station on the Southern Silk Road

Introduction to the ancient town:

Shangli Town is located in Ya'an, Sichuan Province. Yucheng District, 27 kilometers away from the urban area. Shangli Ancient Town was an important stop on the Southern Silk Road in ancient times and the Linqiong Ancient Road entered Ya'an.

Shangli is located in the angle between the two rivers, and is said to be a treasure place where "finance sources" gather. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with pastoral hills, wooden houses, stone paved streets, and 18 hills of "Eighteen Arhats Chao Guanyin". The eight ancient stone bridges represented by "Erxian Bridge" have a long history and different styles.

The first thing that comes into view when you arrive at Shangli is the "Double Filial Piety Festival" archway built in the 19th year of Daoguang's reign. The archway is a tall and delicate stone carving with four pillars, three bays, eaves and multiple ridges; the beams are also engraved with more than 20 groups and hundreds of drama character stories. The archway is a relic of feudal etiquette. It was built to promote the Han family's "never lose one's virginity, never change one's behavior, and be filial to parents and parents-in-law all their lives." The stone archway built in compliance with the edict of Yang Han's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a testament to the constraints of women in our country's feudal system, and is also a masterpiece of our country's stone carving art. There are still three stone archways left in the town, namely the provincial-level protection unit "Double Festival" stone archway, and the municipal-level cultural protection units Chen's "Nine Generations Cohabitation" and Chen's "Chastity" arch.

There are more than 10 ancient and modern ancient bridges with different styles. Among them, the most beautiful one is the "Erxian Bridge" built in the 41st year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is a stone arch bridge with the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town. The clear creek shadows form the tall, circular bridge openings, creating a unique mood. At the entrance of the town, there are two stone bridges, one high and one low, across the Lunxi River, which have become the main traffic routes in and out of the town. The high bridge mainly passes vehicles and pedestrians entering and leaving the town. From the low bridge, you can cross the high bridge. The road below goes along the river, and the high and low bridges cleverly form an "overpass" system.

Highlights:

There are buildings with exquisite craftsmanship, the most famous of which is the Han Family Courtyard. The doors, windows, beams and eaves of the entire building are decorated with reliefs, hollow carvings and inlaid carvings, which are of extremely high value and exquisite craftsmanship. The Han Family Courtyard was built in his hometown by Han Tingfan, who was an official abroad during the Daoguang period. It was built based on the official residence in the capital at that time. The entire building is composed of seven quadrangle patios, also known as "Seven Stars Holding the Moon". The courtyard has a clear layout and exquisite wood carvings can be seen everywhere. It is worth mentioning that the wooden windows in the courtyard are exquisitely carved, rich in content and diverse in shape, and have been highly praised by experts.
