The "One-Day Tour of Wan Fenglin" has traveled all over Qian Shan, and Shiqian is what I miss most!

Qianshan is ashamed to travel all over the world.

Guizhou is the first time to visit recently.

one's early years

My brother is the editor-in-chief of a media in Guiyang and has been invited several times.

Repeated breach of contract due to the end of the same transaction.

A few days ago

A friend invited me to visit Shiqian County, Tongren.

I look stupid. Where is Shiqian?

My friend was thirsty for a long time.

I still don't understand.

He is a nasty, jump out to 1

Have you ever heard of arrogance?

Yelang's capital is in Shiqian.

For a moment, I felt

The fog of history swished away.

That mysterious southwest ancient country

blow

It was already late at night when we arrived at Shiqian. When we passed through the mountains, the car drove into the ancient city, and the bright lights exploded like a galaxy.

This is a world I never dreamed of, in this southwest town hidden deep in the mountains.

The shop is not closed, and the time seems just right. The driver who picked me up said that at this time, the nightlife of Shiqian people had just begun.

I glanced at the time. It was 1 1: 30 at night.

In this small town famous for its hot springs, my surprise kept me from rushing into the warm swimming pool. After settling down, I eagerly entered the world of lanterns to touch the first miracle.

Longchuan River flows slowly, dividing the ancient city into two, and houses are built along the river. Waterfall-like lights poured down from the house, layered on top of each other, as if they were still in Gusu city, and people were sleeping by the river.

At night, the weather is sunny, and night fishermen occupy a good position on both sides of the strait. Some people put up tents, which means a lot of camping.

I ordered a bottle of Xiao Lang wine and two side dishes at the roadside snack bar. The proprietress strongly recommends eating a very comfortable preserved egg lean meat porridge.

Porridge is served in a pot full of preserved eggs. The proprietress advised me to eat more many times. The preserved eggs here are delicious, and foreigners come to buy them.

It is said that preserved eggs here are made by wrapping duck eggs with chaff mixed with firewood ash, but they are all natural and lead-free.

Drinking wine, eating porridge and listening to the local people talking at the edge of the dragon gate array, the taste buds gradually became numb in the stimulation of the heart, liver and lungs again and again, but unexpectedly, the sweat of beans came out from the whole body and had already soaked the clothes.

It's 12 o'clock, and midnight snack people are still coming in.

People at the next table saw me with a camera and asked me if I was a foreigner. They also kindly reminded me that the old city is just over the hot spring bridge. Nice photos!

I like all the old things. Ancient towns, old streets, old alleys and old houses, such as family heirlooms, are full of time.

Looking at the city that never sleeps for ten miles, I imagine tomorrow's trip, the time engraved on the ancient stone road, the stone walls made of black tiles, winding alleys, dilapidated flower windows, decaying courtyard wells, and the old man who looks at passers-by with his back against the door wall.

Those are the marks of life in the ancient city that I want to touch.

Shiqian ancient town is not big, and an old street runs through it.

On both sides of the street are mostly blue tile roofs, mostly two-story buildings, with houses upstairs and shops downstairs. The door panel was covered with insect eyes and traces of wind, frost, rain and snow.

The market is full of daily necessities, food and clothes, all in the old house.

The highest instructions are clearly left on the wooden wall, and the latest fashionable clothes are hung on the shelves under the canopy. Time is intertwined here, just like the absurd history that has really been staged, which makes people feel and think again and again.

The main street about one kilometer long is separated by several stone alleys, which divide the street into nine parts.

One end of the alley leads to Longchuan River, and the other end leads to Fucheng.

I accosted an old man who was repairing clocks. He said that the stone alley behind him was called Yangjiaxiang and told me some allusions.

Hutong is a typical Qing dynasty style, a stone road more than 300 meters long, extending from Shikumen to the end. The houses on both sides have high horse head walls, rammed earth courtyard walls and small dragon gates with flowers, which have a unique charm.

Although the courtyard is dilapidated, bright red couplets and blessings are posted everywhere at the gate, on the screen and in the living room.

The old woman who carries a basket to the market avoids the red peppers dried by others on Qingshi Road; Men selling wild mushrooms peddle along the street, even if they just take a look, they should take them off and brag about them. The man riding a motorcycle wears a hat made of rattan and has a cigarette in his mouth, and he doesn't forget to say a few witticisms to his wife. The proprietress of the bamboo shop dozed off on the bamboo chair. As long as the guests who enter the store don't make any noise, it is estimated that they won't wake up.

Long noodles are hung on the bamboo pole at the corner. The eldest sister-in-law who is soliciting business is holding a big knife and cutting the noodles into pieces, which looks like a martial arts master hidden in the market in martial arts novels.

You are a countryman, so you have to shoot this. Sister-in-law glanced at my camera lens and turned around with a smile, but refused to take a concave shape.

Passing a stone alley, walking along the river bank, I saw an original ten-hole arch bridge flying in the distance, so I rushed over.

This is Qiling Bridge, which was built in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. It is the only ancient bridge still in use in Shiqian.

There is a quadrangle pavilion in the middle of the bridge, where many old people enjoy the cool and chat.

In the cup with me, the moss tea produced by Shiqian is soaked, and the upright leaf buds float gracefully in the cup.

This is hot spring water. Every family has a bucket. Go to the hot spring to pick up water early in the morning, all for a day's drinking.

Wet steam blew from the river and passed through the pavilion. An old man simply lifted his skirt and sighed in his mouth, feeling very comfortable!

The Longchuan River under the bridge flows through the ages, and the dust of history slowly passes by, giving a panoramic view of the prosperous times and countless scenes on both sides of the strait.

Hedong is the old city and Hexi is the new city.

The new city is full of tall buildings, and the prosperity of this world is carrying people with endless traffic and moving towards a better life.

The old city is quaint and peaceful, and time flows slowly, wrapping the vicissitudes of time and receiving the legend of past lives, an ancient Yelang indigenous.

Standing on the bridge and stroking the ancient bridge deck, I have been entangled with my fingers for more than two thousand years, and many past events are like smoke.

Now look, from beginning to end.

Shiqian has been prosperous since ancient times.

It is the seat of the ancient city of Zengyelang.

An arrogant story

In fact, from a certain level, it shows the power of the ancient Yelang country.

At the end of the Warring States period, the Southern Silk Road was excavated.

It not only strengthened its ties with the Central Plains.

It is closely related to Myanmar and Thailand.

Economic exchanges between Southeast Asian countries

Like the Tang and Song Dynasties

The main road and hub to control the tea-edge strategy.

The prosperity of economy and trade and the migration of a large number of people

Foreign culture has influenced local culture.

Religious beliefs, culture, art and other customs and habits

Shiqian's culture is complex and diverse.

Before yuan dynasty

There are Gelao, Dong and Miao nationalities.

Han immigrants increased in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

After long-term integration and communication

China culture has become the mainstream culture.

Interaction between ethnic groups is universal.

At the same time, it also maintained its own cultural characteristics.
