What are the highlights of Yuliangba in Shexian County?

Yuliangba, located in Shexian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, is a water conservancy project built in the Tang Dynasty and is known as Dujiangyan in the south of the Yangtze River. Yuliangba is a water area where Huizhou merchants once had to go out to do business. Yuliangba is one of the must-see spots for traveling to Shexian County. The following small series introduces what is interesting about Yuliangba.

Yuliangba is known as "Dujiangyan in the south of the Yangtze River". In ancient times, it was a barrage and a boating dock. In the past, Huizhou people started business and water transportation from here. Next to Yuliangba is Yuliang Village, which contains some real Huizhou ancient houses. It is said that in the past, in order to facilitate cargo ships to hoard goods, a commercial street-Yu Liang Old Street was developed.

Walking in the old street of Yu Liang, almost every household is open, young people are working outside, the old street is slightly depressed, several families are doing small business at the door, and some old people are sitting at the door chatting.

This water conservancy project built in the Tang Dynasty is also known as Dujiangyan in the south of the Yangtze River. "I was born in Huizhou and have no previous life; Thirteen or fourteen years old, throw it out. " Shexian county is the seat of Huizhou government. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huizhou merchants made a fortune. It is here that they put local commodities such as tea, wood, cotton cloth, silk, paper and ink on cargo ships, and then transported them from Xin 'anjiang to Hangzhou, Suzhou, Jiangning, Beijing and other parts of the country, completing the original accumulation of capital.

So this Yuliangba has the saying that it is the source of Huizhou merchants. Over time, merchants gathered, and the vicinity of Yuliangba became an ancient street called Yu Liang Old Street. Huizhou women put men on the boat here, say goodbye, and then return to the countryside to stick to the memorial archway group connected with loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. Yu Liang Old Street is the place where they bid farewell and shed tears, witnessing the joys and sorrows of countless Huizhou families.

When I walk in the old streets of Yu Liang, I can always see the old memories of my childhood. There are always old ladies sitting in twos and threes in the street, with their feet on the brazier and sawdust rosin in it. I wonder if they are still waiting for the man who has come back early.

There are houses, cloth shops, pharmacies and ancestral halls in the old street. When I walked into a house called "Chongbao Temple", I suddenly had a dream of "Where did this sister meet?" It seems that I met it in my last life. The ancestral hall is dedicated to all the chiefs in Huizhou. Starting from Hua Wang, the ancestor of Huizhou people and Duke of Yue, he moved to Xin 'an County to rule Shexian County and built a dam on Lianjiang River to intercept the flow. When I saw the portrait of Fu Yuan, the magistrate of Huizhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, I suddenly smiled, as if I had really found the familiar and unfamiliar elder in my previous life.

Transportation: There is no bus from Huizhou Ancient City to Yuliang Village, so you can take a taxi or walk. Since it is only 1.6 km, I still choose to walk. It turns out that climbing in the midday sun is quite a test of physical strength. I feel wet, dry and wet all the way, especially the belt with the camera on my back, which will produce salt.
