In Shenxiangou, there are Xinglong Gutian and many ancient sites. According to legend, it is the site of the ancient county town in Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, with large stone lions and stone carvings unearthed. There is also a local monument called Seeing Sendai, which is a square boulder and stands on the roadside of Shenxiangou. There are ancient stone steps on the stone, and stone carvings with Sendai characters on the stone wall. When was it carved? Qing Jiaqing's "Weiyuan County Records" records: "See Sendai, 60 miles east of the county seat (the orientation is wrong), according to legend, there are immortals swimming here, and the ancient monuments are peeling off", which means that the immortals are attracted by the scenery of Shenxiangou and stay on the boulder, hence the name Shenxiangou. The locals also said that it is called gambling on Sendai because there are gods playing chess on the boulder.
Dazi Cliff is also one of the historic sites in Fairy Valley. Dazi Cliff is located on the cliff on the right side of Shenxian Gully, which is famous for Zhang Sanfeng's inscription. According to the Records of Weiyuan County in Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, "Xinxiang has a big cliff, which belongs to the upper reaches of Xinglong Field, and a stone stands by the river. Eyebrow chalk books have good feng shui, and the fonts are as muddy as books, each of which is several feet long. Don't render, inquired about the natives don't know what He Qing did ... "Now, the famous cliff has collapsed, and there is no inscription in Zhang Sanfeng. During the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Song Dynasties, Weiyuan County had two or four ancient counties. Yixian County was established at the end of Sui Dynasty, which lasted from Tang Dynasty to Song Dynasty. In the fifth year of Gande in Song Taizu (967), He Yi County was merged into Weiyuan County, and the two counties were in parallel for about 350 years. Are Shenxiangou Sui settlement site and Xinglong ancient site located in the north of the county seat ancient county seat sites? Which ancient county site is it? Need experts to dig and solve. Based on the data of 1993, 1994 and three editions of Weiyuan County Records in the Qing Dynasty, the author briefly describes the organizational evolution of Rongzhou and Weiyuan (Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Song Dynasties) in the following for the reference of enthusiasts.
In the first year of Yongxing in the Western Jin Dynasty (304), Li Xiong set up Weiyuan Town in Weiyuan. In the third year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (583), he set up Weiyuan (army). In the eleventh year of Emperor Kai (59 1), Weiyuan was changed to Weiyuan County. At the end of Sui Dynasty, Yihe County was added to Yu Wei, and both counties belonged to Zizhou (Ziyang County). In the 10th year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (590), Dalao Town was established in Rong County. In the 13th year (593), Dalao Town was changed to Dalao County, which belonged to Zizhou. Dalao County is named after the county boundary meets the Dalao River. Da Lao Xi is a river that crosses a small stream.
In the first year of Wude in Tang Gaozu (6 18), Weiyuan and Dalao counties in Ziyang County were classified as Rongzhou, and Rongzhou was established as Gongjing Town (now Gongjing District in Zigong), and Gongjing Town was promoted to Gongjing County. Rongzhou was named after Rong De (Laojun Mountain in Weiyuan). Zhou Shirong governs Gongjing, Okura and Weiyuan counties. In the first year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong (627), Xu Chuan County was added in Dalao County, and Dalao County was moved to Jinshan Temple (now Leshan) in the west. In Weiyuan County, two counties have been added, namely Bori and Zhiru (called by Jiaqing and Guangxu in Weiyuan County Records, why should we test them); All belong to yeongju. In the second year of Zhenguan (628), Li Rongzhou, Longyue County, Luzhou was cut. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Rongzhou was transferred from the public well to the prison, and Zigui County of Jiazhou (now Leshan) was placed under Rongzhou. In the eighth year of Zhenguan (634), Poli, Zhiru and Longyue counties were merged into Weiyuan County, and He Yi County of Luzhou (here suspected to belong to Zizhou) was subordinate to Rongzhou. Zhou Shirong governs six counties: Dalao, Xu Chuan, Zigui, Weiyuan, Gongjing and He Yi. In the second year of Yonghui (65 1), Rongzhou Institute was moved from Dayu to Xuchuan. In the first year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (742), Rongzhou was renamed as Yixian County, and Dalao County was renamed as Ling Ying County. In the first year of Gan Yuan, Tang Suzong (758), Heyi County was restored as Rongzhou.
The Five Dynasties followed the Tang system, and Rongzhou governed six counties: Xu Chuan, Zigui, Ling Ying, Gongjing, Weiyuan and He Yi.
The early Song Dynasty still followed the Tang system. Song Taizu Gande five years (967), Yixian merged into Weiyuan County. Zhou Shirong governs five counties: Xu Chuan, Zigui, Ling Ying, Weiyuan and Gongjing. In the fourth year of Song Yingzong Zhiping (1067), Xuchuan County was renamed Rong De County. In the fourth year of Xining in Song Shenzong (107 1), Gongjing County was merged into Rong De County. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Zong lived in Shaoding for six years (1233), and Rongzhou was promoted to Shaoxifu, and Rongde County was established, which governed Rong De, Zigui, Ling Ying and Weiyuan counties. Li Zongduanping lived for three years (1236), and Shaoxifu moved to Honghe Town (now Hongheba, Zigong City). In the sixth year of Li Zongbao (1258), Shao Xifu was abolished.
Regarding the county governance of Longyue Waste, it may be in the southeast of Weiyuan County (now Longchang County). As for the abandoned county government, it is also in the southeast of the county seat (in Reading Historical Records of the Ming Dynasty).
As for the site of ancient county in He Yi, it is recorded in Reading History of Ming Dynasty that "the abandoned county in He Yi was located in the southeast of the county seat and existed at the end of Sui Dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty, it belonged to Luzhou, and it was changed to Rongzhou in the eighth year of Zhenguan. According to the records of Weiyuan County in Jiaqing of Qing Dynasty, "He Yi ancient county is in the north of the county, and the draft of Ming history is in the southeast". Through the analysis of the evolution of the above-mentioned organizations in Rongzhou and Weiyuan, the author preliminarily thinks: ① There may be two counties, namely Longyue and Zhiru, which coexist with He Yi in the southeast of Wei, and Heyi County should not be in the southeast of Wei. ② From Sui and Tang Dynasties to Song Dynasty, Weiyuan, He Yi and Gongjing counties were in parallel for 350 years. Weiyuan County is under the jurisdiction of Yanling, Gongjing County is under the jurisdiction of Gongjing, about 25 kilometers south of Yanling, about 40 kilometers west of Yanling is under the jurisdiction of Rongzhou and Xu Chuan, and about 50 kilometers east of Yanling is under the jurisdiction of Neijiang County. Judging from the spatial distance between counties, He Yi County can only be under the jurisdiction of Weiyuan County. In the north of the county seat, the large settlement site of Shenxiangou Sui Dynasty and Xinglong Ancient Field are about 30 kilometers away from Yanling, surrounded by mountains and waters. It is likely to be the seat of Guhe Yixian County Bureau.
