This is Luotian Town, one of the important border trade towns in Chongqing. It is famous for its "idyllic scenery, natural harmony, cultural relics and historic sites, and a land of plenty".

Luotian Town is located in the southeastern border of Chongqing City, southeast of Wanzhou District, with an east diameter of 108°36′ and a north latitude of 30°36′. It borders Lichuan City, Hubei Province and is located at the foot of the beautiful Qiyue Mountain , 71 kilometers away from Wanzhou City, covers an area of ??81.7 square kilometers, governs 14 villages (neighborhood committees), and has a total population of 32,429 people.

Luotian Town has active border trade and is one of the important border trade towns in Chongqing. It is located at the intersection of Chongqing and Hubei, and is closely adjacent to the "two towns and one township" of Moudao Town, Jiannan Town and Baisheng Township in Lichuan City, Hubei Province. In ancient times, there was no market around. Since ancient times, commerce and trade have been active, with a radiation radius of 30 kilometers. It was the border trade economic center of Chongqing and Hubei. In ancient times, it was an essential place for Sichuan and Hubei provinces, and was known as the "Old 318" national highway. In ancient times, merchants from all walks of life from Sichuan and Hubei came in droves, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, creating a prosperous border trade scene. To this day, the grand occasion has not diminished at all. On market days, there are tens of thousands of people and vehicles coming and going in Chongqing and Hubei. There are more than 100 commercial stores of various types and more than 300 employees on the market. The annual commodity turnover is about 40 million yuan, showing Luotian's strong border trade advantages.

Luotian Town has convenient transportation, with roads connecting every village, and three outbound trunk lines extending in all directions. It is 22 kilometers away from National Highway 318 and is fully hardened. It is 15 kilometers away from the Wanshi High-grade Highway and is about to be hardened. The completion and opening of the Wanshi High-grade Highway will bring convenient transportation advantages to Luotian. "1 hour to Wanzhou, 3 hours to Chongqing" is fast and convenient. The Yi-Wanzhou Railway, which is about to be completed and opened to traffic, runs through four villages (residences), and a secondary railway station will be built to be closely connected to the ancient town of Luotian. The construction of the Yi-Wan Railway will greatly improve the transportation pattern of Luotian and bring new development opportunities to Luotian. With the completion and opening of the Yi-Wan Railway, Luotian will follow the wheels of the train as it moves out of Chongqing and across the country. world.

There are many historical and cultural relics in Luotian Town. Ancient buildings such as "Puji Bridge, Ziku Tower, Siheyuan, Ancient Tombs, and Luohan Well" are witnesses of the long history and culture of Luotian Ancient Town, showing a strong Traditional cultural accumulation and unique cultural landscape. The ancient town of Guchang, which is more than 400 years old, is well preserved. Traces of large and small shops, pawn shops, and cloth shops in eastern Chongqing can be found. From the existing streets, temples, workshops, and stone roads extending from north to south, we can vaguely see the prosperity and uniqueness of Luotian Town in those days. humanistic atmosphere. Puji Bridge, Ancient Tombs, Ziku Tower, and Jinhuangjia Courtyard were listed as district-level key cultural relics protection units by the Wanzhou District People's Government in 1999 and 2006 respectively. Puji Bridge, ancient tombs, and Golden Courtyard were built over a long time ago, with exquisite carvings, grandeur, and well-preserved features. They are rare in Chongqing. Former Deputy Secretary-General of the Chongqing Municipal Government and current Chongqing Historical and Cultural Cities Special Committee Director Professor He Zhiya spoke highly of it and pointed out that it fully meets the conditions for applying for municipal cultural relics protection units.

The territory is rich in tourism resources, including the strange, secluded and dangerous red rock forest; the Big and Small Villages with an altitude of 1,600 meters and a forestry area of ??more than 2,000 acres; the rippling Fengxiangping Reservoir; The beautiful Baizhang Valley, "like Taoyuan" and other natural landscapes are so beautiful and breathtaking.

2. Historical evolution

Luotian Ancient Town was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It is said that in the late Ming Dynasty, there was a large earth bag here, which was round in shape like a compass and surrounded by fertile fields. It was also an important transportation road between Sichuan and Hubei. It was commonly called Luozhentian, or Luotian for short. Local villagers began to build houses and live together here. In the 17th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, more construction sites were built and the scale gradually grew. It has been more than 200 years ago. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it belonged to the city's top ten cities. In 1941, Luotian Township was separated from Matou Town and its headquarters was Luozhentian. After liberation in December 1949, Luotian Township was established in early 1950. In August of the same year, it was placed under the jurisdiction of the Tenth District. In 1951, Luotian District was established to govern Luotian, Matou, Zhongshan, Guyu, Daxing, Moudao, and Baisheng Qixiang. , resident in Ma Touchang. In 1955, when the democratic government was established, Luotian District was abolished and Luotian Township was established and placed under the jurisdiction of Longju District. Zhongshan and Guyu were placed under the jurisdiction of Zouma District, and Daxing, Moudao, and Baisheng were placed under the jurisdiction of Hubei Province. The Luotian People's Commune was established in 1958 and renamed Friendship Commune in November 1966. The original name of Luotian was restored in 1975. When Sichuan Province vacated land to establish a city and district in October 1992, Matou and Luotian townships were merged to form Luotian Town, which was affiliated to Wuqiao District of Wanxian City. In October 1998, Matou Township was divided into Matou Township. , Luotian Town maintains its original name. In October 2004, during the administrative division adjustment of Wanzhou District, Luotian, Matou, and Zhongshan were merged again to form Luotian Town, which is still affiliated with Wanzhou District of Chongqing City.

3. Historical, cultural characteristics and natural scenery

(1) The ancient building complex has a long history

1. Luotian Ancient Town: first built in the Ming Dynasty In the later period, the Qing Dynasty began to take shape, and it was a necessary place for land transportation between Sichuan and Hubei provinces. The three old streets are in a zigzag shape. It now covers an area of ??18,000 square meters, with 720 houses and a construction area of ??23,000 square meters. meters, the old street is 391 meters long, 1.8-3.5 meters wide, and is inlaid with 1,623 stone strips. In ancient times, there was no town within 50 miles around, and commerce had always been active. There were more than 40 cloth shops, pawn shops, workshops, etc.; the Changchang Temple was built by local people to worship Guan Yu, and it was also a place where people worshiped the gods and burned incense; "Sanjidian" is a place for leisure, reasoning and storytelling; the original "Yu Palace" on the site is dedicated to the Dragon King and is used for people to pray for rain during droughts. People come to pray during the Xiao Festival and major events. The stone public toilet is still well preserved. The surroundings and roof are all made of strips of stone. The roof has been watertight for more than a hundred years. The Arhat well is used for drinking by people and animals on the field. , holding a fan in his right hand, he has been sitting firmly on the dragon's waist and laughing for more than two hundred years. A stream of spring water flows from the dragon's mouth. People passing by come here to take a sip of the sweet spring water to relax their mind. The houses on both sides of the street are old, especially the courtyard house at No. 40-42 Yongxingchang, which is well preserved. It covers an area of ??350 square meters and a building area of ??500 square meters. It has a small and exquisite patio and unique doors, windows, return floors and drainage systems, which are typical of Chongqing. Eastern ancient residential architectural style.

Walking through the streets, I can still feel the simplicity and rich cultural heritage of Luotian.

2. Typical ancient courtyard buildings

(1) The Golden Courtyard A was built in the 26th year of the Republic of China (the time of completion of the courtyard is clearly recorded on the center beam of the hall), " The first couplet of the door couplet reads "The beautiful pastoral land left by our ancestors will be inherited by all generations, and we will personally build the magnificent building and we will carry it forward for thousands of years." The building was built by two brothers, Xiang Zhongshi and Xiang Chaoshi, who were large landowners (their descendants are Xiang Quanfu and Sun Xiangfeng are still alive). It faces south and faces north, with a courtyard-style layout. The three courtyards are integrated horizontally into one, covering an area of ??2310 square meters. There are 56 original houses with a construction area of ??3,500 square meters. The building is unique, with a brick and wood structure, one floor and one floor, a mixed structure of lifting beams and bucket beams, a hard mountain roof with blue tiles, five bays, and a wooden beam ridge purlin. The walls, beam brackets, etc. are painted and carved with fine craftsmanship. The bluestone patio is 180 square meters; there is a wooden stage in the middle of the lower room and upstairs. The east room has a bucket-type structure with three bays and a bluestone patio of 101 square meters; the west room has a bucket-type structure with three bays and a bluestone patio of 80 square meters and a stone pool; the lower room is connected to the three courtyards, and some doors and windows are in European style. On the front wall of the dining hall, a lifelike and jumping carp is painted. At the top of the fish is a small pattern of a magpie making plum blossoms. The hanging rope of the painting is also clearly visible, like an ancient wall chart, but in detail At first glance, it was indeed painted on the wall. The beauty chair on the upper floor of the gate is unique, the observation eye of the gate, the setting of 16 gun holes and the wooden architectural style of the courtyard are breathtaking. The building is large in scale, exquisite in craftsmanship, well-preserved, and combines Chinese and Western architectural styles, which is rare. The only drawback is that the courtyard was once used as a grain station warehouse, and some of the stone and wood carvings were damaged during the Cultural Revolution.

(2) Guoquandong Courtyard was built in the Qing Dynasty. It has a quadrangle layout, a bucket-type structure, one floor and one bottom, blue tile hard mountain roof, doors and windows with typical regional characteristics of eastern Chongqing, and walls The murals above are lifelike, and the 25-centimeter-high ground floor is uniquely waterproof and moisture-proof. There are currently 4 households, covering an area of ??1,200 square meters, and a construction area of ??more than 800 square meters.

(3) The Shizhongba courtyard building has a history of more than 200 years, covering an area of ??1,100 square meters. There are a pair of lifelike stone lions on both sides of the gate, and the 20-centimeter-high ground floor is a unique moisture-proof building. It is unique. There are currently 6 families living in the courtyard, and some of them still enjoy the ancient architecture and exquisitely carved wooden chairs, wooden beds and desks. The last two courtyards are inlaid with obvious signs. Directly opposite the main hall, which is as wide as the grand staircase, two stone slabs with a width of 2 meters are embedded vertically.

3. The art of stone carvings of archways of ancient tombs

In Yongpingba, 2 kilometers away from the ancient town, the stone carvings of archways of ancient tombs are integrated with the three courtyards to commemorate the love between Zhiyang and his wife. The carvings on the archway of the joint burial tomb are particularly delicate and complete. It was built in the 11th year of Guangxu's reign. The monument is 6.5 meters high and 5.7 meters wide. It was originally a triple archway. The first archway has been damaged. There used to be watch pillars on both sides and finely carved strips around it. It is surrounded by stone and covers an area of ??more than 1,400 square meters. There are only two archways left. The arches are engraved with characters such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Sworn Brothers in the Taoyuan", "Butterfly Lovers Viewing", "Dragon Boat Race", "Wedding Wedding" and other figures. , opera story scenes, the carvings are very exquisite, and the craftsmanship is shallow relief, deep carving, hollow carving, etc. In particular, there is a stone carved conch in the upper right corner of the original tombstone. Someone once blew it with the mouth and made a "woo-woo" sound; all kinds of stone carvings are in various shapes, Lifelike; its epitaph was written for it by Zhao Shangfu, a Qing Dynasty Hanlin and calligrapher in Wanzhou District, which has a high level of calligraphy art; not far from it, the tomb of Xiang Rongrang (son of Xiang Zhiyang) was built in the fifth year of the Republic of China. , the tombstone archway is 8.6 meters high and 7.5 meters wide. The sculptures and architecture are grand and beautiful, and it pays equal attention to calligraphy and sculpture. "The stone horse towers high on the mountain, and the dragon locks the river at the mouth of the river."; "Although it is difficult to write thousands of words about merit, it is naturally better to have an acupoint near the two cities." The two stele couplets are dazzling, coming from a generous style and majestic. On the tombstone archway there is the Wanzhou Alliance Association Inscription by member Liu Shengyuan. The front and back sides of the entire tombstone are engraved with figures, animals, and plants, which are lifelike. The calligraphy is rigorous in structure, vigorous and eclectic. The archway is exquisitely carved, especially the stone statues of a kind old man and six children carved on the top of the tombstone archway, which have profound meaning. The body of the stele is carved in various shapes, exquisite and clear. The tomb of Xiangmu Xingjun (wife of Xiang Rongrang) not far away is smaller and more exquisite, but it is the most complete.

Whether it is the tombstone carvings or the worship platform, there was almost no damage. The two stone lions on the tombstone, one on the left and one on the right, are carved with great power, and various figures, flowers and birds are also vividly carved. There is a curved platform in front of the tomb that is still preserved. The platform is made of strips of stone and covered with stone eaves. The stones are so closely aligned that even a thin razor blade is difficult to embed. There are up to six ancient tombs like this built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The tombstones and archways are relatively well preserved and are relatively rare in Chongqing. From these tombs, we can vaguely feel the prosperity of the Xiang family in the past. They also owned a granary and were wealthy.

4. The beautiful and quiet Puji Bridge

Puji Bridge was built in the 17th year of Daoguang reign. It is the oldest stone arch bridge discovered in Wanzhou, Chongqing so far, dating back more than 100 years. Historically, it was built with donations from several celebrities at that time. The bridge is a single-hole stone arch bridge, running east-west and spanning Baizhanggou. It was the main bridge on the Sichuan-Hubei traffic road at that time. The bridge is 24.7 meters long, 6.6 meters wide, 12.9 meters high and has a span of 18.4 meters. The dragon head on the bridge holds a dragon ball in its mouth, and the dragon's tail hangs in the middle of the stone arch. It is said that it was built to protect the stone bridge. Floods have never exceeded this dragon head. The sculptures on the bridge include stone lions, stone elephants and other sculptures, which are exquisitely crafted and lifelike. There are pavilions and corridors on both sides of the bridge. On one side are engraved the characters "Dehou Liuguang" and the couplet "Observe the favorable geographical location and connect the north and south, and use all human resources to facilitate travel." Literally understood, it is an earlier proposal to build "harmony" "Example of the concept, it is also engraved with "Preface to Puji Bridge" and "Stele of Merit". There is a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva on one side, which was used by people to burn incense and worship Buddha in ancient times. There are ten stone steps on both sides of the bridge. The arch of the bridge is like an egg. There is a stone in the middle of the bridge deck called "Luban Stone". There is also a beautiful legend. When the craftsmen were building the bridge, they designed the bridge. However, it could not stand stably. There was an old woman who sold eggs. She stood the eggs on the ground and sold them. They were square and smooth, so she suddenly realized that she might as well design the bridge arch into an egg shape. When it comes to closing the bridge deck, it is said that it cannot be closed no matter what. The bridge builders spent a lot of effort and built thousands of stones to make it impossible. At that time, a man dressed like a beggar passed by and said that he had struck a stone there and placed it in an old woman's house. It was just right to place it here. So he did as he was told and spent ten kilograms of rice in exchange for the stone from the old woman. It turned out to be "perfect". People suspected that Lu Ban had descended to earth and named the stone "Luban Stone".

The bridge was rated as a district-level key cultural relic protection unit by the Wanzhou District People's Government in 1999. This bridge was used as the background in the public welfare video "Wanzhou is a Good Place". How beautiful it is. An ancient bridge is covered with moss and has swaying arms of ancient vines. Its powerful backbone and arms embrace an ancient town in the green mountains on both sides of the bank. 200 meters upstream of the stone arch bridge, there are two huge stones, which are naturally formed to be 3.5 meters high. Walking through the 2.4-meter-wide stone cave, the front suddenly opens up and the scenery is beautiful. There are gurgling water and cascading waterfalls, which complement each other and look like the scene described in Peach Blossom Spring, which is interpreted as "like Peach Land". Walking across the stone bridge is the ancient town. The ancient bridge, the ancient town, and the flowing water are integrated into one, beautiful and quiet, like a painting.

5. The majestic Ziku Tower

The Ziku Tower is located at the end of the ancient town. The pagoda is a stone pagoda with imitation wood and double eaves. It was built in the late Qing Dynasty. The pagoda is 7.5 meters high. The top of the pagoda is in the shape of a vase. The body of the pagoda is engraved with couplets: "People of the past and present respect Chinese characters and teach ancient saints about civilization" and "Tadpole Yunxia". "Huan, Hongpian Sun and Moonlight", his calligraphy is vigorous, powerful and majestic. According to legend, the construction of the pagoda was due to the struggle between the Luo family and the Liu family in Luotian at that time. The Luo family believed in the words of a Feng Shui master and built a stone pagoda to suppress the prosperous Liu family. Now the Liu family in Luotian indeed has no successor. In fact, the pagoda was used exclusively for people to burn calligraphy paper. At that time, the literati and educated intellectuals in Luotianchang had to go to the pagoda to burn their writing papers, and they were not allowed to burn them outside. Therefore, there is a saying: It is said that a word is worth a thousand pieces of gold. It is a concrete manifestation of people in ancient times respecting culture and protecting the environment. The tower was listed as a district-level key cultural relic protection unit by the Wanzhou District People's Government in 2006. There were originally five ziku towers in Luotian Town, but now only this one remains, so it is very precious.

(2) The natural landscape is unique

1. The Second Village, Big and Small: with an altitude of nearly 1,600 meters, it is located at the pass of the ancient town. The geology is steep and there are only rugged mountain roads to climb up the cliff. There are 48 hilltops in the mountain, which look like two villages from a distance. They are named after one big one and one small one. The ancient trees on the village are towering, with a forest area of ??more than 2,000 acres. It is rich in various animal and plant resources. There are tall trees such as metasequoia, coniferous fir, and masson pine. Wild boars, hares, monkeys, turtle doves, magpies and other species have been initially discovered. In the forest, traces of wild boars and hares can be seen from time to time, and various birds are flying around in the treetops. If the sky clears up after the rain, it is the best time to go to the village to pick mushrooms. Various well-known and unknown wild fungi are scattered throughout the forest. When the cold winter comes, the village is covered with silver and covered with white snow, and enjoying the snow has become a rare way of leisure for urbanites. If you're lucky, you can also pick clusters of rare "snow fungi" (a local name, to be verified)! There is sufficient water source on the village, and the water quality is exceptionally clear, which is really a miracle. Looking down from the village to the west, you can have a panoramic view of thousands of acres of pastoral scenery. The winding ridges of the fields form beautiful curved pictures. In summer, you are plunged into the sea of ??mist, just like a fairyland on earth. The two reservoirs, one large and one small, at the foot of Dongmian Village are like two mirrors inlaid under the green carpet. When the sun shines slantingly and the breeze blows, the water surface will glow with silver light, as if you are already in paradise on earth.

2. Red rock forest: It is strange, secluded and dangerous. It is truly a miraculous workmanship, created in heaven and earth, and extremely spectacular. Various rock forests are in various shapes and lifelike, some look like an old man, some look like a chair, some look like an Arhat holding a fan, or some look nothing at all. However, each stone forest has its own characteristics and is a unique scenery.

3. Baizhanggou: 20 kilometers long, with beautiful scenery, including 48 scenic spots such as "Jiangjun Stone", "Rhinoceros Boiling Water" and "Yinhe Stone".

Due to the high altitude of Luotian, the climate is cool in summer. During the midsummer season, there is an endless stream of tourists who come to Luotian to escape the summer heat. At present, the Wanzhou District Water Conservancy Bureau, Longju Management Office and other units have started to develop tourism in the early stage. The Fengxiangping Reservoir Management Office has been transformed and has the ability to receive tourists.

(3) Intangible cultural heritage is famous far and wide

Luotian Town has been prosperous in culture since ancient times, with numerous talents and endless scholarly atmosphere. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were 21 Jinshi and 36 Jinshi. During the Kangxi period, the three titles of the Tan family are still widely circulated. Tan Zhang was granted the title of Fulhou, while Tan Yi and Tan Hong were granted the title of Xianghua and Muyi respectively. Among them, Tan Hong, the Muyi marquis, was the most dazzling. At that time, he was the governor of northern Sichuan and the fiefdom Tens of thousands of hectares, the life trajectory of Tan Houhu is still widely circulated in the local area. It is said that Tan Houhu was preparing to build an imperial city in Matouchang. At that time, he was very powerful and threatened the central government. The emperor once sent General Ma to lead the troops to recapture him. General Ma was shot down by Tan Houhu with one arrow. The bridge is now called Jiangjun Stone in memory of General Ma. Zhang Xianzhong was also defeated by Tan Houhu when he entered Shu. During the Guangxu period, Xiang Jiujiu, who served as the admiral of nine provinces, was illiterate, extremely powerful, and came from a prominent family.
