Ancient town of welfare

The ancient town of welfare, which has a history of 1000 years, was once the main scenic spot for the film "Third Sister Liu". It not only has beautiful scenery, but also retains the ancient culture of primitive tribe's diversity and complexity. Every year on the eighth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, a grand welfare Festival is held in the ancient town of welfare. The scene is spectacular and lively.

In addition, welfare "painting fan" is also sold overseas because of its exquisite production of poetry, calligraphy and painting. Therefore, welfare ancient town has won the reputation of "hometown of Chinese painting fan". Friends who come to the ancient town of welfare should never forget to take a stroll in the street of Huafan in the ancient town and offer one or two commemorative gifts for their family and friends.

Ancient town of welfare

With a history of more than 1000 years, the ancient town of Fuli has beautiful scenery and unique culture. The town is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. It is known as "the ancient town surrounded by three mountains and the green state surrounded by one water". The three mountains refer to feifeng mountain, parrot mountain and Mashan mountain. The three mountains are located in three streets of Jiagu Town, nine wells and eighteen alleys. One water refers to the Lijiang River. Two kilometers upstream, the Lijiang River is divided into branches by a big sandbank. In welfare, the two rivers are intercepted by feifeng mountain, forming a bend river pool. The river is green and the sand is as white as silver. Crops are planted on the sandbank for many years, so there is an oasis.

brief introduction

Fuli town is located in the east of Yangshuo County, Guangxi, 8 kilometers away from the county. Guiwu highway runs through the East and West, and the "Diamond waterway" of Lijiang River runs through the north and south, with convenient water and land transportation. The town is surrounded by mountains on three sides and Wushui on one side, so it is known as "three mountains around the ancient town and one water embracing the oasis". Welfare town is not only a famous tourist town with beautiful scenery, but also one of the most famous Chinese painting towns in China, known as the "hometown of Chinese painting fans". The shrewd farmers of welfare town made a fortune with the help of the fans in the hands of the scholar in the drama of the third Minister of harvest. They developed the small folding fan in the hands of literati into a one meter long craft fan and painted exquisite landscape paintings on the fan surface, which enhanced its artistic content and became a tourism handicraft with Yangshuo characteristics.

Yangshuo welfare is not only the wharf of Lijiang River water transportation, but also the ancient quay of Pearl River system. In ancient times, there were no roads and railways. Lijiang River was the only channel connecting the Yangtze River and Pearl River. The depth of welfare pool was a harbor for berthing ships to avoid wind and rain. As a long-term backwater port, the population here is increasing day by day. Due to the complex terrain of Yangshuo and less war damage in the past dynasties, many people from Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shandong, Anhui and Fujian fled to Yangshuo, especially to Yangshuo welfare. Now almost half of the population in welfare town is migrant population. The culture here is complex, and there are still primitive tribes Luo Culture -- ancient Nuo culture. Nuo music and dance here are well preserved. Nuo music is regarded as teaching music by Maoshan education, which has a certain development and great value of historical research and artistic appreciation.

People from Guangdong and Fujian fled here and brought their gods. This is a rare place with Mazu culture in the mainland of China. The gods by the sea are very popular here. On the eighth day of May every year, a grand temple fair is held in the town.

honor

Yangshuo welfare has a long history and culture, and has created many skilled people and craftsmen. Yangshuo has a permanent population of less than 10000, but it has trained many painters. Li zhenou, a famous painter in China, is a welfare man. His flower and bird paintings were put up and collected in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. Chinese leaders have visited abroad many times, and his works have been presented to foreign leaders as treasures of traditional Chinese painting. Almost every family in Yangshuo can draw. It is one of the most famous traditional Chinese painting towns in China, known as the "hometown of Chinese painting fans", so it is also one of the largest production bases of painting fans in China.

Yangshuo welfare ancient quay

There are three pavilions, three streets, three palaces, three temples and three stones at the ancient quay of welfare. Three pavilions: Daguang Pavilion, Kuixing tower and jielongqiao Pavilion. Daguang Pavilion, built in the 17th year of the Republic of China, is a two-story Pavilion of brick and stone structure. The entrance of Kuixing tower is the gate of the old street on the Bank of the river. The ancient city is still well preserved. It is built with square stones and is very strong. The stream flows through the town and flows into the Lijiang River from this cave. There are gates, high walls and streams at the ancient quay. The viewing Pavilion, together with the green hills, flowing water, sailing boats and sandbars, forms a dynamic and static ink painting. Three palaces: Tianhou palace, Xinggong palace and Shuiyuan palace. This is the temple of Guangdong immigrants. Three Temples: Qinglong temple, Baihu temple and chongfo temple. It can be seen that there are so many beliefs and rich cultures here, but for more than 1000 years, we have lived in peace and harmony. This is also a model of cultural integration. Three streets: old street, Xinglong Street and Lingbei street. Most of the old streets are inhabited by local people; most of the Xinglong streets are inhabited by migrant merchants from Guangdong, Fujian and Hunan; and Lingbei street is inhabited by mixed population, which is a little more recent. Sanshi: Sangu stone. The three stones, weighing about one or two tons, squat on the wharf. I don't know where and when they came from. If we say that they roll down the mountain, the three stones are intact and there is no scar. If we say that they are connected with the wharf stones and evolved from the sea karst, but they are separated from the wharf rocks, and the color structure is completely different. Xu Xiake came here to marvel. Many karst experts at home and abroad have inspected the three fast stones. They are all happy and come back home disappointed. The origin of the three stones is still a mysterious mystery.

Welfare picture fan

From the dock to the shore, there is an old street in Yangshuo, which is more than 100 meters long. It is also called Huafan street. There are many skilled craftsmen here, who are good at drawing and making fans. The painting fans here are all handmade and made of local materials. The fan bone is made of bamboo by the river; the fan face is made of local cotton paper, which has strong toughness and is not damaged after years; the picture is also painted by local people, which is colorful. The main contents of the picture are Guilin landscape, Yangshuo scenery, flowers, birds, grass and insects. There are also Yangshuo chants or admonitions from poets of past dynasties, with seal seals such as "Guilin landscape" and "Yangshuo Memorial", making the painting fan an artistic handicraft with poetic and picturesque flavor. Many foreign businessmen go to this street to sell painting fans to all parts of the country.

Daguang Pavilion

Located on the welfare wharf, it is named "Daguang Pavilion" because it is close to mountains and rivers and stands on the pavilion, surrounded by mountains and waters. There is a couplet in the pavilion. The first couplet is "open the pavilion near the water, all the clouds and mountains are in the picture"; the second couplet is "look out from the fence, all the fireworks are in the mood". In the movie "Third Sister Liu", Third Sister Liu is imprisoned by master Mo in the octagonal tower. Brother a Niu shakes a boat to find her. There is a duel performance. Third Sister Liu sings: thrush is trapped in the octagonal cage, which is heavily locked. It's hard to get out of the cage when you look at the Castle Peak. Brother a Niu sings: don't fly around in the cage. The grass moves only when the wind blows. It doesn't get up until midnight, and it doesn't fly back until the wind blows. "Octagonal building" was refitted by Daguang Pavilion.

Donglang mountain

One kilometer northeast of welfare town is the famous donglang mountain. It is a stone mountain pulled up from the middle of Tianchou. There is a huge stone protruding from the top of the mountain, which looks like a human figure. Because it is located in the east of the county, it is called "donglang". From different perspectives, we can get different impressions of this peak. From the left side of the mountain, it looks like a quiet, dignified and affectionate girl; from the front, it looks like an old man with a boy looking up at him; from the right side, it looks like a giant Buddha and a majestic general. There is an ancient pavilion beside donglang mountain, called "Dongshan Pavilion". It used to be an ancient street in Song Dynasty, called Huangdao street, called Huangdao street. When it is flourishing, it is said that "there is no more golden hairpin on the head than Huangdao Street".

Welfare hot spring

1 km from the east of the town, 9 km from the county seat, the low mountain village beside the highway has flat terrain, idyllic scenery and hot spring distribution area of 10 hectares.

The formation of Fushan hot spring is caused by the gushing of deep underground hot spring water. According to the elder villagers of Aishan village, there was a "hot water well" before liberation, where the water flow was constant, and the water temperature was close to the temperature of human body for many years. Later, it disappeared because of a large number of fields and water conservancy projects. In order to further understand the origin of hot springs, Guangxi regional geological survey and Research Institute sent engineers and technicians to explore in the early 1990s. There were several drilling holes (one of which has been developed and utilized by local villagers), and the well water was rich in mineral temperature spring water. According to the person in charge of the exploration, the source of hot spring water comes from more than 200 meters of underground water, which is rich and the water temperature is as high as 60 ° C. Due to the abundant shallow groundwater near the surface, the temperature of the gushed water dropped to 37. About C. Hot spring water contains sulfur, calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, metasilicic acid and other minerals beneficial to human body, which has great tourism development value.

Liu Sanjie's house

The village on the other side of the welfare wharf is called Dutou village. In front of the village is the reflection of the green mountains, the Li River lingers, and behind it is the green bamboo forest, houses and cottages. In the movie "Liu Sanjie", Liu Sanjie's family lives here. In a play where villagers welcome singer Liu Sanjie, Liu Sanjie often wears light make-up, holds tea in her hand, and sings sincerely: Thank you, thank you all the villagers. I don't have good tea and rice today. I only have folk songs to respect my relatives.
