What's interesting about Huayang Ancient Town?

Huayang is a famous Bashu ancient road station, an ancient military fortress and an important economic and political town in history. During the ancient war, it was a material supply place for the army. In peacetime, it is a distribution center for economic and material exchanges between the north and the south in the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin. The outline of the ruins of the ancient city wall in Huayang County is still there. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the ancient pagodas and theatres in Huayang Town had unique styles. There are more than 300 buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the planking doors of civil and military officials, inns, pawn shops, restaurants and teahouses are more than 600 meters. So far, they are well preserved and are rare ancient towns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

environment

After Huayang ancient town, there is a main peak coming to Longshan, and there are secondary peaks around, or Qinglong and Baihu, all of which are sand mountains with rich vegetation and green eyes; There are two rivers around the ancient town. On the opposite side of the water, there are endless Jingshan Mountain, namely Chaoshan Mountain and Hanshan Mountain. The axis faces south. The foundation site is just halfway up the mountain, surrounded by water, with a flat terrain and a certain slope, and the feng shui pattern is very good. Among them, Huayang Ancient Town takes the main mountain as the background and foil, so that there are mountains outside the mountain, forming a multi-level three-dimensional contour line, which increases the sense of depth and distance of the landscape; The prospect based on rivers has formed a broad and far-reaching vision. Looking back across the water, there is a vivid sparkling Shui Ying, which produces a gorgeous landscape picture. Shuang Shan has also played a role in enriching the sense of landscape layering and depth. Taking Shuikou Mountain as a barrier and screen to isolate the inside and outside of the base and form a spatial contrast will make the human body feel suddenly enlightened and have a unique landscape effect.

history

The Luoluo ancient road, which began in the Three Kingdoms period, passes through the ancient town. Since the Han and Tang dynasties, this is the first shortcut for Shaanxi to enter the customs. Huayang County and Zhen Fu County were established here from the Tang Dynasty to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, which was the heyday of the ancient town. Two emperors, Tang Dezong and Nuozong, fled to Hanzhong via Luo Luo Lu, where they both lived. There is an ancient poem that praises: "The city is on the top of the mountain and the boat is on the boat, and thousands of fireworks are merged into a boat. There are pagodas on the top, ancient boats on the bottom, and a wild crossing under the lock of Kuilou. Mo Daohuayang is nameless, and there are ordinary lying cows in the stone. " 1935, the Red 25th Army went north to resist Japanese aggression, and stationed troops here to start the Battle of Shitahe and establish Huayang Soviet Area.

The ancient commercial Pubanmen Street in Guzhen is about 600 meters long and has more than 300 courtyards. Most of them are former shops and back houses in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Most of the buildings are well preserved, and the internal space structure has not been greatly damaged, and the traditional structure of China architecture is still preserved. All houses are "pocket-style", that is, the facade is narrow, usually one or two floors, but it is nearly 100 meters deep and has a back door. Behind the gate is the intersection of Youshui River or Xihe River. Residents of the ancient town wash clothes and vegetables by the river, which is known as "the Millennium Ancient Boat City, the first town in Qinling" and "the water town painting of the ancient town in southern Shaanxi".
