It is the main channel connecting Wen (Zhou) and Zhou (Zhou). It is the main road from Oujiang River basin to the capital. From Fanzhuang, Dongdu Town, Jinyun city to Yanquan village, Lishui City, it stretches 50 Li. It is said that it was built at the end of Tang Dynasty and the beginning of Song Dynasty. At that time, Sima who moved to Chuzhou and Li Yong, a great calligrapher, proposed to build roads here. After Li Yong proposed, businessman Feng Dagao implemented the construction plan.

Ancient road and historic site

1. Taohualing

Taohualing, also known as fenggongling, has a dangerous terrain. According to Guangxu's Jinyun annals, taohualing is "carved by Feng Dagao, a good scholar". Taohuadong pass in taohualing is a resting place for passers-by along the ancient road. There are official residences, monk houses and temples around it. There are ancient arches in the passageway. There are garrison guards in Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the roadside of taohualing ancient road, there is a large tomb where more than 300 Taiping Heavenly Kingdom heroes died in battle. Because of no protection, the tomb has been badly damaged. Not far from the tomb stands a boundary monument between Jinyun and Lishui. On the left side of Taohua cave Pavilion is a newly built Chongjing temple. There are many stone tablets in the temple. On the wall of the inner room are many ancient poems, which record the glorious history of Taohua mountain. At the other end of the peach blossom cave, there is no room for the entrance. The best preserved ancient road in taohualing is a stone road with a length of more than 100 meters and a width of more than 2 meters in front of the cave. Unfortunately, we can't see the legendary beauty of peach blossom blooming on the roadside. Due to the lack of management, the newly planted peach trees have been abandoned.

2. Kejinguan Village

Originally called liushanpu, kejinguan village had a private hotel. In Song Dynasty, Liushan post station was set up here, where officials and merchants who passed by on the Tongjing Avenue stayed. The ancient road is full of traffic. It was during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty that the event of "quejin" took place here that people called it quejin hall.

In 1430, he Wenyuan, a native of Guangchang, Jiangxi Province, became the magistrate of Wenzhou. During his six years in office, he worked hard and loved the people, was honest and upright, and was deeply loved by the people. In 1436, when he finished his term of office in Beijing, he had no enough money to ride in a sedan chair, so he had to wear casual clothes and carry his luggage and set out quietly on foot. When Wenzhou people knew about this, they raised money one after another. Yu Jian, Yongjia County's Cheng, also asked his son to lead the representatives of the people in the five counties to chase after them day and night, and finally caught up with them at Liushan post station. Unexpectedly, he Wenyuan resolutely refused to accept gifts. How could the representatives of the people give up? Helpless, he Wenyuan had to put the money in the post station and left quietly the next morning.

3. Xiaozi memorial archway

Xiaozi memorial archway is located at the entrance of kejinguan village. It's time to mention the diligent and honest Duke he. It is said that when he stayed at Liushan post station at night, he was surprised to see the lights outside the village and asked why. The villagers told him that a man named Chen Dengchao was guarding the tomb. It has been three years since his father died. He has been guarding the tomb for three years. No matter it's windy or rainy, there is no shortage of time. How can there be such a filial son?! He Gong was moved by Chen Dengchao's action. When he came to Beijing, he made it clear to the emperor. The emperor was also deeply moved. He immediately issued an "imperial edict" to build a filial son's house on the main road of liushanpu village. So the craftsmen and villagers took action. They brought good stones from Jinyun and built "filial piety square" vigorously. After that, all the civil and military officials had to get off their horses to show their awe of the emperor's edict. When the poet Yuan Mei passed here, he wrote five poems of Ke Huai, one of which was like this: he dismounted at the sight of the monument, tried the water and cooked tea repeatedly. The monument here refers to the memorial archway of filial son.

The archway has three floors, with a "imperial edict" sign on the top and two stone lions. Unfortunately, during the cultural revolution, the four old "broken" were broken.

Legend of ancient road

The story of "Gao Ji and Wu Sanchun" is regarded by people in Wenzhou and Chuzhou as a more touching love story than "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". Gao Ji in the story is from Pingyang, Wenzhou, while Wu Sanchun is from Longquan. After a lot of hard work, they finally met on the peach blossom ridge. Their true love and the beautiful peach blossom set off each other, which was extremely beautiful. Mr. Chen Weijun rewrites the novel Oujiang resentment based on the folk song Gaoji and Wu Sanchun, which has a wonderful description of Kuocang ancient road and taohualing.

Current situation of ancient roads

After the opening of the Xiwen highway in 1934, there were no more long-distance passers-by on the ridge.

In recent years, with the completion of expressways and railways, Kuocang ancient road, an official road full of historical stories, has faded out of people's memory. Some historical relics along the ancient road are in disrepair and have been damaged. Some sections have collapsed or buried by debris flow. Some beautiful and moving legends have been forgotten and lost with the death of the elderly. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, leisure tourism has become a new lifestyle. The rise of self driving, hiking and the development of network publicity have made more and more people understand the profound historical and cultural connotation of Kuocang ancient road, and attracted a large number of "donkey friends" to take it again.

Kuocang ancient road left a lot of poems and stories of literati, dignitaries and dignitaries. In particular, the clean government culture and filial piety culture of quejinguan village on Cang ancient road are respected by later generations.

Protection suggestions

Based on the tourism resources and historical relics of Kuocang ancient road, we propose the following development and protection measures:

1. Read the history of the ancient road.

It is suggested that the municipal and district cultural departments should take the lead and cooperate with the relevant departments to excavate and sort out the poems, songs and Fu left by the literati when they passed the ancient road in history. Some famous writers should be selected to carve inscriptions and erect them on the edge of the ancient road, so that visitors can read the poems, songs and Fu left by their predecessors while walking the "ancient road", and experience the cultural heritage of the ancient road. At the same time, according to the requirements of the state's application for world heritage, combined with the third cultural relics survey of the whole province, we organized forces to collect and supplement ancient road materials, actively applied for provincial historical and cultural heritage, and focused on the protection and repair of resources with protection value, such as two cliff stone carvings, silver mine sites, Xiaozi memorial archway, etc.

2. It is suggested that the party committees and governments of Shuanghuang Township and Xiandu township should strengthen the publicity and education on the significance of the protection and development of the cadres and masses along the Kuocang ancient road, improve the protection awareness of the masses, and make them the most grass-roots resource protectors of the taohualing ancient road, especially in the process of "100 project", "Kangzhuang project" and agricultural development Only in this way can the protection work continue for a long time. At the same time, we should strengthen the contact with the relevant townships, towns and villages in Jinyun, and jointly do a good job in the protection and development planning, so as to promote the economic and social development of the old area.

3. Kuocang ancient road is only a resource, and its tourism project development is still short of opportunities. It is suggested that shanwangling in Xiandu Township, taohuadong in Jinyun Township and quejinguan (Xiaozi memorial archway) in Shuanghuang township should be properly developed to provide tourists with places for leisure, dining and accommodation, and to establish historical and cultural exhibition hall of ancient road, so as to provide reference for future development We need to do some basic work.

4. It is suggested that the education department should organize primary and secondary school students to travel the ancient road of Kuocang at an appropriate time, further promote the culture of clean government and filial piety, and carry out the education of integrity and traditional virtues.

5. It is suggested that the Shuanghuang township government should collect the construction materials of the Xiaozi memorial archway evacuated from the farmers' homes, apply for appropriate financial subsidies, and focus on the restoration protection of the Xiaozi memorial archway and the imperial edict according to the original state.

6. We should expand publicity and strengthen the protection among the people. To increase the popularity and reputation of Kuocang ancient road, we can hold essay and photography competitions.

7. Excavate and develop the red tourism of Kuocang ancient road. At present, the tourism department can appropriately package the red tourism resources and rural tourism resources along Kuocang ancient road, and guide Lishui citizens and surrounding citizens to visit here by self-help through publicity.
