On the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, this blue-gray and dark-blue rock composed of square boulders, after hundreds of years of vicissitudes, walks on the bluestone road full of historical feelings and has a sense of time and space crossing.
Qingyan Ancient Town, one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou, is located in the southern suburbs of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. Built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, it was originally a military fortress. The exquisite ancient buildings of Ming and Qing dynasties in the ancient town are intertwined, and the halls and pavilions are painted with carved beams and painted buildings. It is said that there are nine temples, eight temples, five pavilions and two shrines here, as well as ancient buildings such as Qingyan Academy, Wanshou Palace, Mercury Tower and Ming and Qing Dynasties memorial archways.
The ancient town is full of humanities and sages. Zhou Yi Jiong, a famous historical figure, Zhao Yi Jiong, a champion in the late Qing Dynasty, Mr. Ping Gang, an outstanding figure in the Republic of China, his father, Deng's mother, Li Kenong and other revolutionary predecessors and their families all lived in Qingyan secretly. Qingyan ancient town was also the westward migration point of Zhejiang University during the Anti-Japanese War. ......
When I came from Huangguoshu Waterfall this morning, a traveler told me that Qingyan is not as antique as the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are no small bridges and flowing water, with winding paths leading to a secluded place. After arriving, this ancient town on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is really different from the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Qingyan is a historical ancient town born out of the Wei suo system in Ming Dynasty, which is very different from the market towns derived from the economic development in the south of the Yangtze River or the mainland. With the establishment and implementation of the toast system, this ancient town with a history of more than 600 years has become the southern gate of Guiyang guarding the middle of Guizhou. Its appearance is closely related to the health center and the reclamation system, and it is full of strong military culture. Up to now, it still retains the unique cultural phenomenon in the history of China and the imprint of Tunpu culture. If Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, had not stationed troops in Guizhou and cultivated land vigorously, there would not have been Qingyan Castle more than 600 years ago, nor would there have been a slate toast to build the city, let alone the famous Qingyan ancient town today.
Now you have to buy a ticket into Qingyan, and the ticket is 60. Actually, there were many alleys, so I just walked in. Ancient towns abound in China. Although they are different, extending in all directions is a common feature. Then there is commercialization. Going to an ancient town is full of brand-new antique buildings and selling similar tourist goods. Tourists all over the street are repeating the same actions: taking pictures, making noise, tasting, bargaining and buying in buy buy.
Take fewer streets, stroll out of the city gate and climb the city wall. The city wall is high and steep, holding the chain up the stairs and touching the dream full of smoke in the past, which contains the battlefield of that year; Looking up, Xishan is surrounded by ancient temples, and the ancient buildings in the city have been quiet for thousands of years. Those wars have long gone with history, and people here live and work in peace and contentment, embracing each other, and no longer have to endure the torture and pain of smoke.
Standing on the beacon tower, overlooking the ancient town, the smoke is lingering, the houses are scattered, row upon row, quiet and peaceful; It's drizzling in the sky, and the bell of the ancient temple is ringing. Zoom in on the camera In front of a wooden house at the foot of the mountain, there are dogs under the eaves and village women are doing farm work.
Such an ancient town seems to be used for seclusion, a piano, a wisp of cloud and a bowl of tea. Who is playing the pipa at the gate to watch the return? Who sprinkles Xuan Yan ink at night to build a dream blue rock? Who sings softly when she wakes up?
Thinking about ancient love, you will get the interest of Taoyuan. In the villages, fields, towns and deep alleys paved with bluestones, there are quiet castles and quiet ancient towns. Wandering in quiet villages and literary inns scattered among ancient towns and castles. Through the distant morning bell, with the twilight slowly coming. After walking, put your tired body and mind here and find a safe place.
Unfortunately, the streets are full of people, tourists are bustling, and extreme commercialization has long been inevitable. Actually, you don't have to regret it. You just need to find a mean alley and close the door from one side.
Living in Qingyan for one night, I feel very quiet.
