Liujiang ancient town

Liujiang town is located in Hongya County, more than 100 kilometers away from Chengdu, on the way to Wawushan National Forest Park. The ancient town has a long history. It was first built in the Southern Song Dynasty, and now retains the scene of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In Wawu mountain, Huaxi River is surrounded by Diaojiaolou, an ancient town with unique style of southern Sichuan ancient dwellings, surrounded by green hills. Before liberation, it was under the control of several big families. Each family had something special. The local people also gave them memorable names, such as whose house and whose millet. Several large families form the foundation of Liujiang town. These single luxury houses and beautiful landscape are almost perfectly combined together. Together with the market built near the water, they form a vivid landscape painting. Important scenic spots include Zeng's courtyard, Shiban old street, etc. Because it is close to the river, the fish here is delicious, so we must try it.

Liujiang ancient town

Liujiang ancient town is located on both sides of Yangcun River, a tributary of Huaxi River, 35 km southwest of Hongya County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province. There is no river named "Liujiang River" here. There is a historical reason why it is called "Liujiang ancient town". The ancient town of Liujiang, historically known as "Mingyue Town", was built in 1140, the 10th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed "liujiangchang" because of the joint construction of a long stone street by the two clansmen, Liu and Jiang. It was named "liujiangchang" in 1780. It has been abandoned and prospered in the past dynasties.

Liujiang is called "Yanyu Liujiang", which is not felt during the day. In the evening, sitting on the second floor of Wangjiang Inn in the light of light rain, listening to the rain and watching the river in the dim lights, it seems that I have found the painting of "misty rain Liujiang".

Main attractions

Old Street

Liujiang ancient town was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, separated from modern architecture by the architecture of Ming and Qing Dynasties. One by one, the wooden house stilts are connected with a long stone street at the end of half of the street, which shows the vicissitudes of the street.

The river near Liujiang town is not called Liujiang, but Huaxi River and Yangcun river. The two rivers converge in Liujiang Town, and there is an island in Yangcun river. It turned out to be a lawn. In 1988, it was gradually turned into a cultural station by the residents on the street. On the island, there are folk houses in the shade of green trees, which are quite poetic. It is said that the island was bought and settled by a painter in his early years, which makes people admire the artist's eyesight.

Ancient trees

There are many ancient trees in the ancient town. In Liujiang ancient town, there are not only many huge ancient trees of Huangge and Maliu, but also a 200 year old huangjuelan. The old yellow Jue orchid is tens of meters high, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and fragrant flowers. There is a strange tree in the Zeng family's courtyard, which is separated by the huangjuelan. The tree is covered with long and thin fruits like cowpeas. No one in the local area knows its name and origin, so we have to call it "cowpea tree".

Old house

The courtyard with "cowpea tree" is called Zeng's courtyard. In the history of Liujiang, there were four families: Zeng, Zhang, Yang and he. Among the people, "Zeng's house, Yang's Dingzi, Zhang's maid and he's millet" are popular. Zengjiayuan is the only well preserved family manor. According to textual research, Zeng Yicheng, a descendant of Zeng's family, was built in 1927-1937 after 10 years. It originally covers an area of 11621 square meters, with a total construction area of 5402 square meters. It is a layout of "four courtyards and three theatres". There are four quadrangles and three theatres. In the courtyard, there are viewing platform, eight character dragon gate, lady's building, study, stone archway, peony garden, litchi garden and leisure Pavilion, which shows the former luxurious style of the owner of the courtyard.

What's more strange is that the bird's-eye view of the house shows the word "Shou" in complex writing. It is said that in order to conform to the layout of "Shou", the owner of Zeng's courtyard built the walls or buildings outside very unique, especially the row of buildings near the river, which were built like zigzags, turning and turning. The shape was strange and unique, which also showed the designer's ingenuity and meticulous mind.

The whole house is decorated with western architectural patterns, carved beams and painted buildings. It is a model of modern Chinese and Western architecture. As a result, Zeng's courtyard has become the most dazzling scene in Liujiang ancient town. Zeng Jiayuan is free to visit. When you walk into the compound, Sichuan Opera is still performing on the stage, attracting many visitors.
