Wenchuanxi winds from Liancheng Quxi to Jishan, turns several times, showing a big "several" shape, leaving a fertile soil, flowing into Shaxi and singing all the way to Minjiang River.
For more than 500 years, Jishan Village has stood quietly by the Wenchuan River, immersed in the storm of history. Ancient houses, old streets, cloisters, pontoons, pavilions and banyan trees reveal tranquility and simplicity everywhere, and the air is filled with cultural atmosphere.
How prosperous Jishan was in those days. This used to be a waterway pier leading to other places. On the river surface, a string of long rafts meander along the waterway, and ships of Jishan old wine and Yongan dried bamboo shoots are transported from here to Fuzhou and then to all parts of the country. The boatman's trombone mixed with the aroma of old wine floated on the water.
Jishan people made a lot of money by this golden waterway. Jishan Village, with only over 400 people, had nine academies at its peak, and there were scholars, juren, scholar, etc. 192 people in Qing Dynasty. Up to now, the mottled old walls of some houses in Jishan are still covered with the good news of the Qing Dynasty, and the four stone workshops in front of Liu Zuwu are still telling the kindness of that year.
There are still many Ming and Qing folk houses in Jishan village. There is a "material row" with an area of more than ten acres, 12 hall 156 room; There is a "chessboard" with a layout similar to the Chuhan River; There is also a delicate and unique "Tuanhe CuO", a "Cuiyuan" with Suzhou garden style, and a magnificent and quaint earthen enclosure. Covering an area of 1.545 square meters, the ancient academy "Cuiyuan" still has lifelike clay sculptures such as flowers, birds, insects and fish on its roof and room edge.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Fujian provincial government moved to Yong 'an for seven and a half years. The provincial government took a fancy to Jishan, a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Dozens of government agencies, universities and middle schools, including the official residence of the President of the provincial government, the Party Department of Taiwan Province Province, the High Court, the Provincial Education Department, the Yong 'an Middle School, the Provincial Education Department, the Provincial Education Museum, the Provincial Epidemic Prevention Brigade and the National Conservatory of Music, are located in Jishan.
Chen Yi, Liu,,, and other military and political dignitaries and cultural celebrities such as Cai Jikun, Li Liewen and Huang Zengyue also gathered in Jishan. In the afterglow of the sunset, a scholar with a thin face in a long gown and an official in a Chinese tunic suit and a pocket watch wandered in the old street of Shisanxing. From time to time, all kinds of mixed dialects came from the pub on the street, and the smell of old wine stewed dog meat was strong.
When you walk into the accumulation of goodness, you walk into history, and there is always a deep feeling in your heart that will never be erased.
