[Prosperity and Decline of Datong Ancient Street]-_

Walking into this ancient town of Datong, which is hidden in the depths of the mountains, on the street corner where people come and go, we see shops, modern goods and ancient town food everywhere, coupled with those ancient wooden houses, not only the integration of ancient civilization and modern civilization, but also the architectural style of ancient towns in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In this western Sichuan style and unique Ming and Qing architectural art, the corner of the street eaves of Datong ancient town is vividly displayed. Wood structure, small blue tiles, overhanging eaves, hanging stilts, simple wooden windows, and bluestone slabs at the foot, these "late Ming and early Qing" buildings, despite more than 300 years of baptism, still stand as before, quietly located in Datong ancient town less than 20 kilometers west of Qionglai.

Datong ancient town is small, but it has a picturesque style different from other ancient towns. If you take a closer look, you look like a hermit, standing at the foot of Nanshan and Jiuding Mountain like a fairy. The water from the source of two streams meets on Shuangjiang River in Datong ancient town, forming Mozi River, which slowly flows to the southeast. Also because it hides the past events of a thousand years, it brings us to the dust of history, or it can pry open the past prosperity of Datong ancient town.

The history of Datong took us to 2000 to 3000 years ago. We can imagine what it was like to compete in an unknown town in Datong ancient town a thousand years ago. What happened in the game? History is sometimes objective and transparent, because someone has been recording its process. History, sometimes mysterious, is that no one has recorded its loneliness for thousands of years. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a legend that "Ma" practiced in Qionglai Datong and became immortal in Dayi heming. Before Xia and Shang Dynasties, there was a legend that a man named Hong became an immortal. Judging from the paleolithic (ancient stone coins) unearthed in Datong, people lived in Datong seven or eight thousand years ago. Judging from the red bronzes unearthed in Datong from the Neolithic Age to the Bronze Age, there will be a very prosperous tribe in Datong after three thousand years. From the perspective of historical exploration, before the pre-Qin period, Datong should belong to (? National) jurisdiction. At that time, before King Hui of Qin ordered Zhang Yi to unify Shu (Lin Qiong), Lin Qiong should belong to the intersection of the three ancient Shu countries, and the ancient city of Lin Qiong at that time should be a "Dao Jiang" among the three ancient Shu countries. From the time (? River: today's Xihe) and (Pushui: today's Wenjing River) should be west of Xigu (? National) territory. Since then (? River: Today, south of Xihe River, there are (? River) and (Pushui) to the east (now: Nanhe) to the southeast should be the territory of ancient (Shu) at that time. In the south at that time (Pushui: Jinwen Jinghe River) and in the southwest now (now Nanhe River), it should be the territory of ancient Guo Qiong.

From the corners of the east, west, north and south of the ancient town, you can see many historical relics at the end of the mountain, along the road, in fields and streams. For example, Datong once discovered the ancient stone coins of the Neolithic Age, and still keeps one for demonstration. There is a place called "Yanjing Dam" in Yanshui Village next to Datong Ancient Street. There are 6 proven salt wells, ancient salt wells 1 well, and another 5 (ancient salt wells: Meihuajing) buried in farmland, which were built before the Tang Dynasty. Founded in Qing Dynasty, Republic of China, after liberation 1957. It is a constant law that people live where salt is produced. Thousands of years ago, Datong discovered "salt", so it makes sense that many people should have moved to Datong thousands of years ago because of "salt". One of them is a salt well, which is called "Bagua Well" by local people. It's octagonal. Locals say it is a salt well in the Tang Dynasty, but judging from the well body, there is a legacy of "Taoism". So, is it possible that its age has surpassed the Tang Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty? Because in the Western Han Dynasty, China's "Tao" originated in Datong, Dayi and more than ten surrounding counties and cities in Qionglai. During the Western Han Dynasty, Taoism flourished in Datong, and there was a place called Meijing. There are five plum blossom-shaped old salt wells buried under the field, which the locals call "plum blossom wells". It is reported that in 1957, a salt well mining team from pengshan county came here to build salt wells, and once dug five plum blossom-shaped salt wells. After the old master of the salt well discovered it, he said it was a thousand-year-old thing and could not be moved casually, so he buried five old salt wells and gave them protection. Datong has a thousand-year-old ancient salt well, which is recorded in Han Shu, Tang Shu and Songshi: (Lin Qiong has two ancient smoke wells, named "Jinfeng" and "Fangchi". China's "original creation" is the mining method of salt wells and the method of taking salt water.

Ancient tombs, ancient temples and Zen Buddhism in the Han and Tang Dynasties, ancient cypresses in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and stone cliff statues in Sun Shi from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the middle and late Tang Dynasty (Sun Shi Mountain: called Lingshan before the Qing Dynasty. There are inscriptions on the cliff stone carvings. During the Republic of China, words were faintly visible on it. On the upper right is the word "Yu Gong Daxing Yong Wang", and in the middle is the word "Dali III". In Kongjiashan Village Committee, the inscription unearthed in Zhuwa 'an was also titled "(Emperor Liang Daxing), and the inscription on the cliff statue in Sun Shi Mountain was also titled (Emperor Yong in Daxing), which further proved that in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the name of Datong ancient town was named (Daxing), and the name" Daxing "was recorded until the Zhang Tuchuan period in the Qing Dynasty and later. These records the history and culture of Datong, spread among the people, and tell its unknown dusty past. Datong has the saying of "three miles and one temple, five miles and one temple". Among the temples and ruins where Datong is located, eight schools of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty are easy to find. For example, Shen Jia 'an in A Record of the Republic of China in Qionglai was not called Shen Jia 'an before the Ming Dynasty, but was called Huayan Temple, which was renamed Shen Jia 'an after being rebuilt in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Huayan Temple is one of the eight schools of Buddhism. Leiyin Temple, Jin Shi Temple, Tianzhu Temple, etc. What does this mean? In addition, in 1957, Qionglai county government cut down four ancient cypresses in Jintai Mountain Temple for paving the West Bridge, which was so big that only eight people could hold hands around it, with a circumference of more than 3 feet, about 1 1 m. Compared with the 5000-year-old Cooper in Shaanxi Huangdi Mausoleum. At present, a 6-meter-long Cooper stands upright beside Chorakuji Temple in Jinggou Village Auditorium. Its existence strongly proves that Datong was inhabited more than 2000 ~ 3000 years ago. For example, "Shi Ting Temple, Jintai Mountain Temple" and so on, these temples existed in the Han Dynasty with a small population. Where do people go to the temple to burn incense and be Zen guests? Throughout history, in (3 1 1), Qin was fourteen years old, and the ancient city built by Zhang Ruo was only more than 2,300 years old. In the Han Dynasty, Zhuo Wangsun, the richest farmer in China, managed ironware in Qionglai, and Deng Tong made money, which showed the prosperity of Qionglai in the Western Han Dynasty. From Han Dynasty to the end of Ming Dynasty, there were more than 30 ancient temples in Datong ancient town. What if the ancient town of Datong at that time was not a bustling place? Where did the incense lamps and oil money of these more than 30 temples in Datong Ancient Town come from? Obviously, the ancient town of Datong in the Han and Tang Dynasties must be a prosperous place. Then, Qionglai was very prosperous in the Han Dynasty, and "salt" should have been discovered in Datong before the Han Dynasty. The four ancient cypresses of Jintai Mountain Temple with eight trees and one ancient cypress of Guanting Mountain with a tree age of more than 2,000 years are proof. Naturally, it is conceivable that Datong Ancient Street must be much bigger than it is now. Only when Zhang entered Sichuan in the late Ming Dynasty, all the ancient buildings were destroyed by his burning, looting and suppression by the Qing army. It was not until the establishment of the Qing Dynasty that the saying "Huguang fills Sichuan" came into being. The battle of Ming and Qing Dynasties cut off the history of Datong ancient town.

At present, the owner of the Ming Dynasty's "Wang Fan Tomb" on Guanting Mountain lived in Shuangjiang Mansion before his death, and today's "Gudianzi" is the Ming Dynasty's "Shuangjiang Mansion". There are many legends and sites where the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty fled to Datong, which are still preserved today, waiting to unveil its mysterious veil. There is still a place name named "South Tang", which was the first choice for the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty to flee to Datong. On the "Shi Zhongshan" in the Southern Tang Dynasty, stone pagodas with the latest style in the Northern Wei Dynasty were also found, which is rare in China. Buddhism was introduced to China in the first year of Yongping at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (that is, AD 58) and was introduced by the Eastern Han Emperor Liu Zhuang. Then, this "stupa" in Shi Zhongshan probably predates the Northern Wei Dynasty. Why did Buddhism spread to Datong so early? Another example goes down in history. 40 miles west of Lin Qiong, there is a "Shi Ting Temple", which was built in the Han Dynasty and named "Phoenix Mountain Temple". Destroyed and rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed "Phoenix Mountain phoenix temple". It was destroyed in the late Ming Dynasty. In the thirty-seventh year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Zhang Wengui, a descendant of Sean, presided over the reconstruction and renamed it "Shi Ting Temple". Datong rebuilt three temples, namely Shi Ting Temple and Huilongguan Temple, namely Guangfu Temple Temple and Fiona Fang Temple, and now Fiona Fang Temple and Erlang Temple. In Datong Street, there are "Jiangxi Pavilion" and "Huguang Pavilion". (3 1 year, Kangxi renovated and built Huilongguan, Jiaqing was renamed Guangfu Temple, and Fiona Fang Temple was renamed in Guangxu period. ) This is recorded in Zhang's genealogy. There is also a "Shaanxi Pavilion" in Nanmulin behind Datong Ancient Street, which was built by the Cai family who moved from Shaanxi.

All directions are asking, why did Datong, an ancient town in the mountains, become a Buddhist Zen forest from Han and Tang Dynasties to Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties? And quite prosperous? The self-evident explanation is that it is probably more than 3,000 years ago that Datong discovered the reason for the existence of "salt". With the indispensable "salt" for human beings, there is a place to live. A 4,600-year-old "mountain site" was discovered less than 10 km from Qionglai City. Or did Datong discover "salt" more than four thousand years ago? There is no record in history, but only in the chronicle of the Republic of China can we find that a large number of immigrants moved in from the fourth year of Qing Emperor Kangxi to the twentieth year of Qing Emperor Kangxi, and then rebuilt the domain name (Daxing) from Han Dynasty to Song Yuanming on the ruins burned by Zhang and Qing army, and later named it "Daxing Chang".

If Zhang hadn't been to Sichuan and Datong more than 300 years ago, the Qing army hadn't been there, and there was no burning, killing and looting, the ancient street in Datong town would have been huge and spectacular, with ancient buildings everywhere and many ancient temples and houses not destroyed. However, history is history, and regret is irreparable. During the Han and Tang dynasties, the prosperity of Datong ancient town and many ancient temples were basically destroyed by the war between Zhang and the Qing army. People are gone, and things are gone, leaving only the ancient temple rebuilt on the site during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and the ruins destroyed and survived during the Cultural Revolution, which made the history of Datong ancient town go for more than 2,000 years and was cut off between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. At that time, history became a dividing line.

Zhang entered Sichuan from Enshi, Hubei Province (1643), recruited troops all the way, burned and looted, and invaded Chengdu on (1644). Due to the resistance of the Ming army, after Zhang captured Chengdu, he began to slaughter political officials and people who opposed him, and established the (Daxi regime) and the country name (Dashun). Zhang issued an imperial edict in Chengdu and set up the "Seven Killing Monuments". According to legend, Zhang set up the "Seven Killing Monuments": ① killing Ming officials, ② killing the extremely rich, ③ killing those who did not submit to the regime of Daxi, ④ killing those who did not want to participate in the anti-Ming uprising, ⑤ killing taxpayers who did not pay food, ⑤ killing Buddhists and ⑤ killing those who did not recognize the regime of Daxi.

(1647) The Dashun regime was established in Sichuan for three years, and it was attacked by the Qing army in Sichuan. The Qing army slaughtered Zhang and anti-Qing people, besieged and intercepted Zhang. Prior to this, Qiongzhou County was occupied by Zhang for a long time, and the Ming regime perished. The rest of the people can only submit to Zhang's "Western regime". At that time, there were many ancient temples in the Han and Tang Dynasties in Datong ancient street. The rich Datong family and the rich temple Zen forest naturally became the wealth in Zhang's eyes. Zhang Dajun's burning, killing and looting turned the wealth accumulated by Datong ancient town over thousands of years. In Zhang's beating, smashing, looting and burning and the war of the Qing army, the ancient streets and temples in Datong have been restored. The people who surrendered to Zhang carried out the second massacre of the anti-Qing people under the iron hoof of the Qing army. The third massacre was that Wu Sangui crossed Qionglai to Datong and carried out another massacre. The fourth time, a man named "Liu Erkou" came to Datong and carried out another burning, killing and looting. The fifth time was that Zhang Bu went to Datong four years later to burn, kill and rob again. These histories are recorded in the existing inscriptions. At that time, the land of Sichuan perished with all living things, and all living things in Huasong lost their ghosts. The prosperous history of Datong for thousands of years has vanished in the shadow of swords and flames.

(1664), that is, (Kangxi four years), the largest population migration in the history of the Qing government began, which was later called "Huguang filling Sichuan". From the 4th year of Kangxi to the 20th year of Kangxi, children under the age of 12 and women who can take care of children from several provinces were moved to Macheng County, Hubei Province, and then moved to all parts of Sichuan.

In the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678), when the Qing court discussed the revision of the Ming history, it arranged for a person named Gu to recommend someone to write the Ming history. Because the history of the Qing government from 1643 to 1678 should be written according to the requirements of the Qing government, Gu felt that this history of Sichuan was not written by the Qing government. Since then, I have lived in Shanxi and Shaanxi, devoted myself to writing and stopped being an official.

For example, at that time, my ancestor Zhang Wengui moved from Hukou County, Jiangxi Province to Macheng, Hubei Province, and moved to Datong Ancient Town, Qionglai in the seventeenth year of Kangxi. It is also recorded in my Zhang Jiazu genealogy that my ancestor Zhang Wengui, whose real name is Zhang, moved to Datong in the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678), and was forced to change his name again according to the provisions of the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi of the Qing government, and was unified by the Qing government as the surname of each moved family (renamed Dai), (returned to his ancestors). My ancestor was renamed Zhang Wengui, and the Qing government gave Zhang Wengui a "16th generation ranking". My ancestor, Zhang Wengui, is a descendant of Sean, the prime minister of Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty. After coming to Datong, he saw the vastness and desolation of Datong. In addition, there were many people who migrated before, and there were many surnames, but few people. Zhang Wengui married the daughter of Tao, the general of Ming Dynasty, and settled in Taoba Village, Datong on the ruins. At that time, the ancestors came to Hukou County, Jiangxi Province with a lot of money, plus the money brought by Taoist priests. In 3 1 year, in Datong, the "Jiangxi Pavilion and Huguang Guild Hall" was built on the ruins where Zhang fought with the Qing army, which was used to move the ancestral temple from Jiangxi to Huguang and then to offer sacrifices. It is also a place where villagers and relatives from Huguang, Jiangxi are received, where they live, eat and sleep. Later, the market town was gradually formed, and then the name of (Daxing) since the Han and Tang Dynasties was restored, and it was still (Daxing Chang).

Zhang Wanyou, a man named Zhang Wanxin, was born in the Kangxi period and was also the first "trainee" in Datong. At that time, before the imperial examination, I was recommended to try in Beijing, and I was extremely happy to be an official in Beijing. When he was in Qianlong, he offended the emperor Qianlong because of the righteous act of the temple, was allowed to return to his hometown, and was given the title of "Emperor Qing". Later, the Zhang family "explored flowers" again. At that time, after Zhang Wanxin was allowed to return to his hometown, he bought more than 3,000 mu of land in Xinjin, Gauguin, Anren and Guanghan. Every year, it is rented in Luodianzi, outside the north gate of Qionglai, and replaced by "corn" by Zhang Jia, which is transported back to Daxing Farm and sold to 3,000 people who make a living by transporting coal in Daxing Farm. From Qing Qianlong to the end of Qing Dynasty, the Zhang family in Datong was the only "food and agriculture" in Daxing Chang. At the same time, the highest-level banquet "Sea Cucumber Banquet" held in Qionglai, Dayi and Pujiang was also hosted by the Zhang family.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Datong began to enter a prosperous era, from Dujiangyan to Chongzhou Huaiyuan, to Dayi Xinchang, to Datong, to Huojing, to Lushan County, and to the ancient tea-horse roads in Ya 'an, Kangding and Baoxing counties. After Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was reshaped. Datong ancient town has become an indispensable transit station, and Datong ancient street has been greatly developed. In addition, the coal used by blacksmiths in Chengdu, Xinjin, Pujiang and Qionglai also comes from these 3,000 coal haulers. Together with the people who crossed the ancient tea-horse road, Datong, a thousand-year-old town, stood up again. At that time, the water from the two sources of "Nanshan Mountain and Jiuding Mountain" flowed through Datong Ancient Street and merged into a river, and there were three polished statues of Yili River. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the Zhang family was the largest "grain farmer" in Datong. More than 3,000 people who earn money by transporting coal made money, went to Zhangjia to buy corn and millet, chose one of more than 20 "mills" on this river, turned millet into rice, ground corn into flour, and then carried it home to live.

By the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Datong ancient town was already very lively. The street has also developed from the original two streets to four streets, with a total length of about 660 meters. At the end of Qing Dynasty, there were about 450 old houses in Daxing Tian. Build a unique two-story all-wood "hanging foot building" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the West. There are also several unique "Qiaolouzi" and stone arch bridges in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there is also a "Wenchang Palace", which records the elegant style of writing and ink advocated by people in Datong ancient town. During the Republic of China, the world was in chaos. In order to prevent bandits from invading, the city gate was built. Formed a unique ancient street style. As early as the early Qing Dynasty, the streets paved with bluestone slabs were stationed with the Salt Department of the Qing government to manage the "well salt" produced by Datong "salt well". Although the output was not large, as the unified management of the Qing government, Datong established the "Salt Administration Department". At that time, Jiangxi Pavilion, Huguang Pavilion and Shaanxi Pavilion became leisure places for people in ancient towns to play cards and drink tea. There used to be a bell and drum tower in front of the Jiangxi Pavilion, which was exactly the same as the existing bell and drum tower in Qionglai, and was used by people who worked shifts at that time (Daxing Chang). 1944, a man named "Tang Wenjun" on "Daxing Chang" street accidentally caught fire because of smoking heavy cigarettes, and the old Datong Street was almost completely burned, leaving only half of the street. Those ancient buildings in the Kangxi period were basically reduced to ashes. At present, most of the ancient streets in Datong are buildings after the Republic of China and 1944, and some are buildings of Kangxi and Ming Dynasty.

Due to the prosperity of the Qing Empire and Kanggan, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the families of descendants of Confucius on Kongjiashan also flourished, and tea merchants were doing business outside the province. At that time, the Hou family in the ancient town had two "servants". One is Hou. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, several generations had amassed wealth, with hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, which Hou would take out to bring Datong to Sangyuan Town. Datong to Qionglai; Datong to Xinchang Ancient Town; Four ancient tea-horse roads from Datong to Sanba Township paved the Qingshiban Road, and many stone arch bridges were built along the way. At that time, the Qing government also gave Hou a "number" and named it "Bai Song". The folks once said: "There is a lot of money, and the flat road is used for climbing", referring to the later construction of a high "stone arch bridge" on the ancient street river in Datong. It made an important contribution to the construction of the old street in Datong ancient town in the late Qing Dynasty. Another surnamed Hou, an official in other provinces, retired to his hometown. He used a lot of camel silver dollars to go home and built many luxurious houses. He was called "a foreign official" by the local people and made immortal contributions to the local farmland water conservancy. Because of the prosperous time of Kanggan, the rich in Datong are constantly rebuilding the ancient temples of Han and Tang Dynasties that were burnt down by the war in the late Ming Dynasty.

(1905) The Qing Dynasty collapsed under the trampling of the National Revolutionary Army led by Sun Yat-sen. With the appearance of bandits, the money left by the rich in Datong ancient town was instantly robbed by bandits (pulling fat pigs = kidnapping), leaving little. Those rented fields were occupied by local tyrants and bullies, and basically they changed from the richest "landlords and foreign workers" to the poorest families. Like my Zhang family, during the Republic of China, I was robbed three times a day. There were five "fat pigs", and it took 500 Qing Guangxu ingots and silver dollars at a time to get the hostages back. It is said that Guangxu Yuanbao could buy a 200-kg fat pig at that time. It was robbed more than 30 times. More than 3,000 acres of rented land were all occupied by local tyrants and bullies, and millions of wealth vanished in an instant. In 29 years of the Republic of China, when more than 400 bandits came to rob the Zhang family, they were beaten away by the guns "carbine and five-finger steel needle" that Zhang Jiagang bought from the airport built by Americans in Sangyuan. At that time, Kong, the bandit leader of Kongjiashan, heard the sound of carbine and took the bandits down the mountain to grab the "five-finger steel needle of carbine", which became a spectacle for bandits to rob bandits. Later, the bandit leader who robbed the Zhang family was nicknamed "Cai Laojin". In the late Republic of China, he was "wooed" by the government of the Republic of China in Daxing Field and became the "commander of the Corps" in Daxing Field (equivalent to the current Minister of Rural Armed Forces). Afterwards, a "reasoning" was held in six tea shops on Daxing Street at that time. The purpose was that the bandit leader of "Zhao 'an" wanted to rob the Zhang family, and the account robbed by Kongjiashan bandits would be counted on the Zhang family. On the day of "reasoning", people from three States and eight counties gathered in Daxing field to watch the sensational bandit robbery, which became a matter for the Zhang family? If the Zhang family didn't have a backer at that time, it would be tantamount to "recruiting the bandit leader Cai Laojin to have the final say", and putting the account on the Zhang family's head. The Kongjiashan bandits robbed and asked the Zhang family to pay. Who knows, the Zhang family went to find a bandit leader who could communicate with Kyushu. His relative's name was He. His arrival did not make the bandit "Cai Laojin" who had been "wooed" hold a "reasonable" proposition. If necessary, the Zhang family will pay back the bandits two million silver dollars. This counterclaim of turning black and white is over. I didn't ask the Zhang family to pay for the tea that tens of thousands of people drank that day. There are also 27 pieces of copper coins left by the Zhang family after liberation, which were also given to the country after liberation in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. There is also a utensil 100 table for holding the wine bowl of "sea cucumber mat" in Qing Dynasty. Those blue-and-white porcelain, pastel plates and pastel bowls were also distributed by the whole commune to the collective canteens of various villages, and the millions of wealth accumulated by the Zhang family in the "prosperous period of Kang Gan" in the Qing Dynasty disappeared. Datong ancient street was also destroyed by bandits burning and looting.

After liberation, many unique ancient buildings were destroyed and demolished during the Cultural Revolution in Datong Ancient Street. Today, the ancient (Jiangxi Pavilion) (Huguang Pavilion) (Shaanxi Pavilion) (Wenchang Palace) and ancient temples have disappeared. In the 1970s, Datong Ancient Street was preserved with "Datong flavor". In the 1960s and 1970s, the "bear's paw tofu" pioneered by Mao in the commune canteen was passed down by Hou and Ye Shun 'an in the staff canteen. Up to now, the "fried tofu and bear's paw tofu" sold in Datong ancient street has been spread to today's colorful Datong flavor.

Today's Datong ancient town, those ancient streets, has become a combination of colorful towns and ancient streets. Since the 1980s, the construction of streets and lanes in Datong ancient town has increased by about 940 meters, and more than 600 houses have been added, which has also promoted the emergence and development of Datong ancient town. Tourists from both inside and outside the province come from the historic imprint of the ancient town for thousands of years. In the ancient town of Datong with a population of about 7 1 km2 and the ancient street of Ming and Qing dynasties with a population of about 25,000/km2, we can also see the culture of the ancient town, as well as the ancient nanshu and its vicissitudes and prosperity from the "diaojiao building" of the ancient street of Ming and Qing dynasties.
