The ancient town of Anren in Dayi is known as a bright pearl in the Western Sichuan plain. Since the Tang Dynasty, Anren town has a history of more than 1000 years. Wen Tong, a poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem "An Ren Dao Zhong Zao Xing": "when Ma Jiang tou comes late, the good wind will fill the light clothes infinitely. When the cicadas make noise, the moon rises, and the ducks fly in the sand. Jiejie wine flag should stand on the shore, and pianpianpian fishing boat should return across the bay. All the good scenery here is new. We must believe that poetry can't be violated. "
