Dear tourists; Hello everyone! Our travel destination today is Guang'an. It took nearly 3 hours and about 215 kilometers to drive from Chengdu, passing through Daying and Suining. Now we have entered Langzhong City.
Everyone has heard of Langzhong An ancient city? Yunnan has the ancient city of Lijiang, Shanxi has the ancient city of Pingyao, Anhui has the ancient city of Shexian, and we have the ancient city of Langzhong in Sichuan. The ancient city of Langzhong is located in the northern part of the Sichuan Basin and the middle reaches of the Jialing River. It has a dangerous terrain and has been an important military town since ancient times. Compared with other ancient cities, Langzhong is famous for its unique Feng Shui. Looking down from the plane, Langzhong City is a beautiful Tai Chi figure, which makes Langzhong known as "China's No. 1 Feng Shui Ancient City".
Today, Xiao Zhang will not tell you where the "ancient" expression of Langzhong lies. Today, I will tell you how Langzhong got its reputation as a fengshui city. The ancient city of Langzhong is the best-preserved city built in accordance with ancient astronomical and feng shui theories, especially those of the Tang Dynasty. Feng Shui theory is a traditional theory in ancient my country regarding the composition of the living environment, including site selection, planning and design of cities and other buildings. It is human-centered and coordinates the three elements of heaven, earth and man in order to achieve the "unity of heaven and man". The ancient city of Langzhong is a typical example of city selection and construction in ancient China based on the principle of "harmony between man and nature". The site selection and layout of Langzhong Ancient City are in line with the traditional Chinese Feng Shui theory. It is a perfect combination of the images of dragon, sand, water and caves in traditional Chinese Feng Shui. The so-called dragon refers to the dragon vein, that is, the mountain range. Langzhong Ancient City is connected to the dragon vein of Panlong Mountain. " "Sha" refers to the mountainous terrain around it. Langzhong Ancient City has Panlong Mountain in the north as the town mountain, Jinping Mountain in the south as the table mountain, Jin'er Mountain as the facing mountain, and the undulating mountains around it are sand mountains. "Water" refers to the river. The Jialing River surrounds the city on three sides, forming a situation where the city is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The "hole", that is, the foundation site and buildings, are preferably facing south. The ancient city sites and buildings in Langzhong are built with multiple aggregation. The method is in line with the traditional Feng Shui theory that emphasizes the spatial composition of the structure. Its water, light and mountain scenery are created by nature, forming the ancient Feng Shui image pattern of "Xuanwu bows its head, the red bird dances, the green dragon meanders, and the white tiger bends down" and the landscape city structure pattern. It forms an ink painting with "the city is surrounded by rivers on three sides, and the surrounding mountains are surrounded by haze". Du Fu praised "Langzhong's success can break the heart, and the south of Langzhong city is sparse", making Langzhong known as "Langyuan Wonderland" and "Feng Shui Treasure Land". From the Western Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Langzhong has been the main place for the study of ancient Chinese astronomy and Feng Shui. It gave birth to the great astronomer Luo Xiahong. The city of Langzhong is full of aura, as if an ancestor of mankind floated from the sky. Lying half-lying at the foot of Panlong Mountain, the symmetrical and orderly shape of the mountain is exactly the ancestor's arms with his sleeves folded, and his knees bent on Jinping Mountain. Everyone, please look at the mountain in front, which is known as "the best in Jialing." Jinping Mountain has the reputation of "Jiangshan". Some people say that standing at the entrance of the Eight Immortals Cave of Jinping Mountain and looking at the ancient city of Langzhong, you can best see the wonderful Feng Shui of the ancient city and the superb ideas of the predecessors in building the city. Du Fu wrote a poem praising Jinping Mountain, "I will never come back when I visit this place." . Friends, will we feel the same when we stand on it?
Okay, let’s stop talking about Langzhong. Before we know it, our tourist bus has left Langzhong. In about three hours, we will arrive at Guang'an, the hometown of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening up. What kind of environment did the great Comrade Xiaoping grow up in? Please take a break and wait and see. Xiao Zhang will chat with you later, thank you!
