When was the ancient city of Fenghuang famous?

There is also a beautiful legend about the origin of the name of Fenghuang ancient town: according to legend, five huge buttonwood trees were planted here in ancient times, representing the southeast, northwest, middle and five directions respectively. These buttonwood trees once welcomed the phoenix to inhabit, so it was named "fenghuang town".

Fenghuang ancient town is located in the depths of Qinling Mountains. If there is no highway connection, it is really hard to imagine when such a quiet town will be discovered by the world and when the quiet life here will be broken. However, after the visit of Chairman Kong of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference last year, Fenghuang Ancient Town became famous overnight. Since then, tourists from all over the world have poured in, and the quiet ancient town is boiling. The unique culture here has also become a cultural topic of widespread concern.

There are not many residents in the ancient street of Fenghuang Ancient Town. Most of the buildings were built in the Qing Dynasty, but some were built in the Republic of China. The buildings here are all Huizhou-style buildings, which are very similar to ancient Huizhou. They have white walls and gray tiles, upturned eaves and rolled tiles, and two-story underground buildings, most of which use wood structures. Later, they learned that most of the villagers here came from Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Henan and other places, and moved here because of floods or decrees, so their descendants are here.

The biggest shock that Fenghuang Ancient Town brought to me was the kind of humanistic care she showed, the kindness and peace that can't be described in words. Walking on the uneven bluestone board and looking at the opposite house, you are greeted with hazy elegance and solemnity, stroking patches of mottled textures, imagining the elegance and romance of the year, combing the chaotic thoughts from time to time, and quietly pulling yourself back from past memories. ...

Slowly, several children came running from a distance with hairy monkeys in their arms. In this way, they simply rushed into our field of vision. They laughed and laughed all the way and were very happy. Maybe I'm not ready to clean up my past memories. They came so suddenly that they didn't even give me time to adjust my time difference. Looking back, in today's high-rise cities, there are still a few children who can imagine their parents' favorite toys, living under heavy steel structures and wandering in the virtual fantasy network world. I wonder if they are happy or sad.

In Fenghuang ancient town, the sunshine seems to be particularly free and easy, and there is no pressure. The sunshine falls on the steps in front of the door, baking the mellow atmosphere here. Several old people are sitting on the steps, perhaps talking about what happened in the ancient town in detail, or picking up old memories that have rusted and turned yellow. An old dog was lying in front, squinting and sharing their experiences. After all, he is also a witness to the growth of water and soil in this area. I envy these old people. There is only such a big world, only so many daydreams, and they are as comfortable and calm as water-life is actually a realm.

At the end of the ancient town is an amazing place, where we actually saw tropical plants! Several palm trees and plantains are scattered around, which adds to the freshness of this ancient town in the untimely climate around. It can be seen that people in Fenghuang Ancient Town still miss their homeland. In the breeze, listening to the moan of lonely geese in the air, I vaguely felt bitter, distant and long. ...
