With the continuous development of ancient villages and towns in recent years, people's impression of ancient villages and towns has changed from the backward and closed image in the past, and they have begun to have a new understanding of them; Some people say that the ancient town is like a bottle of old wine, some people say it is a good cup of tea, and others call it a heavy history book; However, in most people's minds, ancient towns have no advantages for the development of tourism. Compared with modern scenic spots, it has no perfect facilities and profound historical allusions. Surprisingly, the tourism industry in the ancient town has not only developed, but also been loved by the public.
The reason why the ancient town can be loved by the public has an indelible relationship with its "antiquity" and "rhyme", both of which are indispensable. The rich charm of ancient sites has laid a rich historical foundation for the ancient town and also achieved its development. However, not all ancient towns can last forever in the long river of history. Some ancient towns have gradually passed through the long river of years, and some ancient towns have gradually been assimilated with the development of the times. Only a few ancient towns have experienced the ups and downs of the world, and they have appeared in front of the public as an ancient town and honed into a real ancient town.
There are many ancient towns in China. Six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River and ten ancient towns in the north. Regional and cultural differences have created the unique historical and cultural heritage of the ancient town and become its characteristics. What we are talking about today is an ancient town in Ningxia. Its fate is also very bumpy, but it is still stumbling. It is a legend. Let's take a look at its legendary history!
There is an ancient town called Zhangyi Town in Guyuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Zhangyi Town, with a total area of 284 square kilometers and a permanent population of more than 30,000 people, governs 15 natural villages. According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, a big family thought it was a treasure trove of geomantic omen and settled here. Later, people successively entered the imperial examination high school to be officials, hence the name. Because the ancient town is too old, it existed a long time ago, but no one knows it was a long time ago.
The legend of this ancient town began in its modern history. In the 1970s and 1980s, Zhangyizhen was very poor. In order to make a living, the local people had to leave their homes and beg for a living all the way. It has also become a "beggar town" famous for its poverty. Still known as "Zhang Yi beggar" in the local area. Although it is a bit indecent, it is also a testimony and summary of its history.
Today, the roads in Zhangyi Town are clean and tidy, and the environment is beautiful. People in the town are brimming with happy smiles. Maybe you are afraid of being poor, and when you are poor, you will change. In order to have enough food, it is the first town in Ningxia to implement "fixed production quotas to households". The reform of "fixing production quotas to households" is like a ray of warm sunshine shining into Zhangyi Town in winter, which points out the direction for it to get rid of poverty and become rich. Zhangyizhen is a legend in the northwest of China. Like Shenzhen, it is prosperous because of reform and opening up, and is often called "Little Shenzhen" in the northwest.
In recent years, with the introduction of the national policy of enriching the people and a series of precise poverty alleviation policies, Zhang Yizhen actively responded to the national call. Due to the strong desire to get rich, local young people who go out to make a living choose to return to their hometown to take the lead in starting a business. Nowadays, the road of Zhangyi Town is getting wider and wider, and there are more and more ways to get rich. Every household has lived a well-off life.
Zhang Yiren knows that a happy life is hard to come by, so he cherishes his present happy life and never wastes it. The local 76-year-old grandfather talked about the past and said that he thought he dared to live such a good life now. Looking back on the disaster forty years ago, the local people were miserable. They often take their children out to beg, but they don't know where to go.
I don't know what you think of another ancient town in Ningxia. The "begging town" here has become a "well-off town" and people call it "Little Shenzhen" in the northwest. Welcome to leave a message!
