Historical overview of Luo Qi town

In August 2008, ancient tombs were discovered in Luo Qi Town, including 6 ancient tombs and 5 sites, which can be roughly traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Song Dynasty. A large number of funerary objects were found, including Shang and Zhou bronzes, coins of the Six Dynasties, porcelain of the Song Dynasty, gold rings and gold earrings, which provided valuable information for the study of ancient culture and life.

From June 5438 to February 2008, the tomb of Ba nobles was discovered. The cemetery is located in Zhaojiawan, Luo Qi Village 1 1 community, Luo Qi Town. Lin Bizhong, assistant director of the Municipal Cultural Relics Institute, said that after a week of rescue excavation, more than 40 pieces of jade, bronze, pottery and lacquer wood were unearthed, most of which were first seen by Bayu.

Archaeological captain Bai Jiujiang said that more than 20 jade articles, mainly jade bi and jade Huang, were unearthed with exquisite texture. The jade bowl is thick, nearly 1 cm thick, and the surface is engraved with valley lines. On the jade yellow, there are pu-shaped lines; Bronzes include ge, sword, hair and bird ornaments. Mao Ge is a hat covering the top of Mao Ge, which is beautifully made. Pottery mainly includes mud-gray pottery flat-bottomed cans and dragonfly eyes. Dragonfly eyes are ornaments worn by their owners in strings, similar to Tibetan dzi beads.

According to experts, the cultural relics unearthed in the cemetery are beautifully shaped and have high artistic value. Jade, weapons and pottery, which show the factors of Chu culture, show the trend of multicultural intersection, which provides important materials for studying Ba culture, Ba-Chu cultural exchange and the relationship between Chu and Ba in the late Qin Dynasty. At the same time, these cultural relics also provide very rare physical materials for the restoration and study of the funeral system at that time, and are also of great significance to the study of the funeral customs of Ba people.

According to the Institute of Archaeology, when the tomb was discovered, it had been destroyed by two thirds. The tomb is amazing in scale, nearly 9 meters long. "This tomb is bigger than that of Wang Ba discovered in Fuling at the same time!"

These discoveries have pushed the history of Luo Qi forward for many years. In the past, people used to take Lecheng County as the beginning of its history, which exceeded 1700. After the archaeological discovery, even if it is not an earlier archaeological discovery, it is only a tomb of Ba nobles more than 2300 years ago! In ancient times, Luo Qi was ruled by a magistrate, and Huguang immigrants came here in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, becoming a paradise. Because there are two treasure dams by the river, it is named Qi Le. In the 14th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Feng Shihang, the top scholar from Luo Qi, was demoted to Wanzhou. In a rage, he changed his original place from "Qi Le" to "Luo Qi", which later became Luo Qi. During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, Luo Qi Town was inherited to this day. Houses and buildings extend along the river bank, forming a strip settlement with 18 streets and lanes, about 7 kilometers long.

Once prosperous-maybe we emphasize history, maybe just to cover up today's backwardness. Luo Qi Town has a history of over 65,438+0,700 years. At the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, the Shu Han established Lecheng County in this area, which was abolished in the seventeenth year of Yan Xi (AD 254) and returned to Jiangzhou County. In the third year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 347), it moved to Qi Le (now Luo Qi Town), a county in Fuling, and the eastern part belonged to Zhizhi County, while the western part still belonged to Jiangzhou County. Luo Qi Town was built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, 1958 was changed to commune, 196 1 was completed, 1987 was merged into Luo Qi Township, and 1993 was merged into Zhang Guan Commune. It has jurisdiction over wellhead, Dongyang, Orfila, Shan Lun, Shiyan, Luo Qi, Zhugou, Tutang, Gao Qiao, Qiantan, Shangba, Xiang Ying, Bao Hua, Lion, Kuaihuoling, Sandy Land, Tuhua, Aoki, Tours, Beiya, Badou, Shaxi, Ganxi, Baiyun and Brick House.

Luo Qi is a quiet town. Even after Chongqing was directly under the central government, the urban areas and counties and cities in Chongqing developed rapidly. Luo Qi is still very quiet, which surprised us all. Perhaps it is precisely because of this quietness that it can well retain its former features, and because of these features, it has become an important location shooting place for many film and television dramas, such as "A River Flows East", "City of Memory" and "etc.
