Introduction to scenic spots

The total length of the old street is 1320 meters, and it is north-south. Although the eaves and tile roofed houses on both sides have been eroded by hundreds of years of wind and rain, they are slightly isolated and decayed. However, the imperial structure of the old street is still indistinct. The streets are paved with bluestone strips and cobblestones, 3.7 to 5.3 meters wide. There are deep tracks on the bluestone strips, which are the traces left by the iron wheels of old wooden unicycles. The old street has a long history and was built in the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Hongwu conquered Nanjing and just practiced the throne. In order to compete with the cavalry of the Yuan people, he defeated the horses raised by the counties in the area of Jiangsu and Anhui. At that time, there was an open plain in the southern mountain area of Lu'an Prefecture, where the grass was overgrown and Artemisia argyi was everywhere. It was the best place to herd horses. Therefore, the governor set up a factory to feed horses, which was called Maotan factory. Then the homonym turns to the word, and the book is written as "Maotanchang". The ancient traditional handicraft workshop is a beautiful scenery of the old street. Walking along the old street, you can see the blacksmith shop, paper umbrella factory, sewing shop and other hand-made workshops. The sound of Jingling is like the music of silk and bamboo pipes, which is indistinct and endless. The old shop selling oil paper umbrellas at the corner, bright colors, long lost oil paper umbrellas in memory, bring people endless reverie. Many generations of craftsmen have been busy in these workshops. Their faces are full of vicissitudes, and their expressions are peaceful, which are in harmony with the style of the old street.
