Who knows the specific names of Jiugong, One Temple and Eight Temples in luoquan?

Luoquan town, also known as "Luoquanjing", is like the long axis of an ethereal ink landscape painting, hidden in the mountains at the junction of Renshou, Weiyuan and Zizhong counties. Qiuxi River, a tributary of Tuojiang River, originates from Longshan Mountain in Weiyuan and flows quietly through luoquan. Luoquan was famous for its salt production in ancient times, and there were as many as 1500 salt wells in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. There is only one five-mile long street in the ancient town, all of which are embroidered buildings with bamboo, wood and mud strutting structures, with shop-style blue tile buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, and cornices. Because the whole strip is shaped like a dragon, luoquan is called "Dragon City", known as "Nine palaces, one temple and eight temples". Unfortunately, many temples and buildings have been damaged due to poor protection. Today, it is the best preserved and the most famous. The Salt Temple was built in the seventh year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1868), marking the glory of the ancient town.

Walking 20 kilometers east from luoquan, you can reach Tiefo Town, 38 kilometers away from Zizhong City. The town preserves Ming and Qing residential buildings, especially quadrangles. The town's Nanhua Palace was built in the early Qing Dynasty, facing south, with a quadrangle layout and a building area of 19 18 square meters. The existing main hall, back hall, stage and wing, with patios and courtyards, are scattered and elegant.

There is no choice but to spend money.

I have always believed that the remains of ancient civilization and traditional art often lie low-key in remote and steep ravines, or are hidden deep in an ordinary door in an ancient and messy street, which makes people a little unprepared, as if calling a missing friend in front of a crowded crowd, but he quietly answers quietly behind you.

After getting off the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway, it is extremely difficult to walk from Qiuxi Town to luoquan for dozens of kilometers. It is even more bumpy than the roads in Tibet, and the speed can only be maintained at 20 kilometers per hour. The stones protruding from the road also hit the chassis of the car, which is even more unbearable for me who was already carsick. On the other hand, if the ancient town of Luoquan is really like an empty valley and a secluded orchid, such a trek is certainly worth it, but ...

Luoquan is located in a valley surrounded by mountains. When the car drove into luoquan, overlooking the ancient town at the foot of the mountain, the uphill wall with the characteristics of the ancient town, the upturned eaves and the fish scale roof finally brought me back to life. Qiuxi River is like a light and elegant ribbon, lingering in the valley between two mountains, and its shape is like a lifelike Youlong. Since ancient times, there has been an ethos of "respecting righteousness" among the people in central Sichuan, and people are very particular about the construction of civil engineering. The layout of villages and towns is often permeated with the mysterious thoughts of China's traditional mysterious culture. Luoquan town is built by the river, so it has the reputation of "the first dragon town in Sichuan".

Just choose a gap and drive to the center of town. When you get off the bus, you will see a building that combines Chinese and western styles. The white wall facing the street is covered with colorful slogans and notices, and you will inadvertently pass by this "Luoquanjing Conference Site". It used to be the "Gospel Hall" of the church, which was built in the 13th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty and has a history of nearly 200 years. This old house is now an activity center for the elderly (50 cents for a cup of tea), with clanging cymbals and gongs, boasting the high notes of Sichuan Opera. At that time, the road protection movement in Sichuan was surging, affecting the whole of Sichuan. In this secret meeting, the leaders of all kinds of gerocomium held their heads high and drew their swords to help each other, which caused an uproar against the Qing Dynasty. Dr. Sun Yat-sen said, "Without the uprising of the Lu Bao Comrades' Association in Sichuan, the Wuchang Revolution would have been postponed for about a year. "The' Luoquanjing Meeting' was an amazing move, which made all the information about luoquan mentioned in this house in the future, but it was not well protected. Except for the almost submerged sign at the door, there were no other cultural relics. Near it is the most magnificent foreign building in town. Against the background of the surrounding ancient buildings, the cold tiles are shining with strange and bright light, which makes this modern atmosphere seem awkward and boring.

By the river, a word crowded diaojiao building hung on the river. In the spring, a flock of ducks chase and play, and the sparkling waves smash the shadow of a riverside building. From time to time, under the diaojiao building, someone hummed a ditty to wash clothes or something. People in small towns are hydrophilic by nature. The stone steps in people's backyard along the river extend to the water's edge, and many narrow lanes escape from the street to the river. The pier carrying water even extends to the middle of the river. The river is full of hookahs and bamboos, and occasionally a fisherman sits in the forest, holding a cigarette rod in his hand, waiting for the fish to bite. Unfortunately, the muddy yellow stream, floating rotten vegetables and leaves, and garbage dumped along the river have destroyed the natural beauty of this peach blossom garden.

Courtyards in towns are often separated by towering embankment walls, which not only avoids the danger of "burning camps", but also has a smart and elegant appearance. Most of the wall is a deep and narrow alley that leads to the river or the hillside behind it. The outlines of ancient buildings in China are relatively simple, and it is easy to fall into flat plates. "Those who can save this disadvantage are really wonderful in decoration." This is a Japanese scholar Tadashi Ito's comment on the ancient architecture in China in the Architectural History of China. He added: "No matter which country in the world, the decoration changes greatly, and there is no hard mountain style like China ... There are only a few in Japan, and the style in China is almost dozens of times that in Japan." The hard mountain style mentioned here refers to the uphill wall. The uphill wall in Sichuan is famous for its "changeable energy and endless interest". However, this wonderful flower of China's ancient architectural art gradually lost its luster and became a thing of the past.

On the contrary, there will be delicious food in small places. This is my travel experience. Luoquan tofu is thin, white and tender. The dishes fried with it, the steamed buns made with it and the soup boiled with it taste extraordinary. Vegetables are all picked in your own garden, fresh enough to pinch water, absolutely green food. Sichuan-style pork has also been fried with a spicy flavor. Our chopsticks are as light as paddles in a dragon boat race.
