Introduction of Taizhao ancient city

At the foot of the wilderness and snow mountain, the clear Niyang River and the lofty mountains, there is a small town that has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes. Its name is "Taizhao". Every time I go from Lhasa to Linzhi and cross Mt. Mira, I will have an expectation to go into Taizhao, talk about history and listen to the voice of national integration. Located on the left side of national highway 318 from Lhasa to Nyingchi, it is only more than 200 kilometers away from Lhasa. Highlight: dusty history, moving legends and unique geographical location. Main attractions:

Ancient city style, tea horse road, etc. Taizhao ancient city is located next to national highway 318, in the west of gongbujiangda County, 20 kilometers away from the county. Before entering Taizhao City, the memorial archway engraved with "Taizhao ancient city" first came into view. Behind the tall and straight is massiness and profundity. Across the suspension bridge, you are in the ancient dwellings. You can see through the gate of the post station and pull your thoughts to the depth of history. The prosperity of Taizhao has emerged. Since the marriage of Tang Dynasty and Tubo, Tibet has been increasingly close to the mainland, and there has been constant exchanges between military and business people. In the Yuan Dynasty, Taizhao began to build a post station. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the government established taizhaozong (Taizhao county). According to records, Taizhao was known as Jiangda at that time. It had a large population, a prosperous town and a lot of shops. It had a famous small Bajiao street and four fragrant temples. It also had a suzerain government, granary, school, post office, hotel, restaurant, gold and silver processing shop, tailor shop, execution ground and so on. Tibetan, Han, Hui and Nepalese merchants came here to do business and trade, and goods from all over the country could flow smoothly The local Tibetans even began to intermarry with other nationalities. Taizhao became an important commercial and cultural center of Tibet at that time. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Jiangda changed its name to Taizhao, and managed a vast area from Bahe town in the East, Mira mountain in the west, and niangpu Township in the north. Together with Xueka sect, JiaoMu sect and Zila sect, they constitute the famous "Gongbu four sects"

There are four roads from the ancient inland to Tibet: the West Qinghai Tibet Road, the middle Qinghai Tibet Road, the East Qinghai Tibet Road and the Sichuan Tibet post road. Among them, except for the West Qinghai Tibet Road, three of them have to pass through Taizhao, so the ancient city of Taizhao is also an important place for military transportation. According to the records of Wei Zang Tong Zhi, "Jiangda is an important place in Tibet, where officers and soldiers are stationed to defend." "Tibet annals" records: "Jiangda set up a garrison, 120 soldiers." Chen Quzhen, the leader of Sichuan army, mentioned that Jiangda is an important town in Tibet, with about four or five hundred households, and its economy is extremely prosperous. Because of the prosperity of taizhaozong's economy and the importance of its military and transportation location, taizhaozong naturally became a place for military strategists. In 1909, the frontier army entered Tibet and stationed in gongbujiangda. According to the records of tianchaochizang, in June 1911, the minister stationed in Tibet sent an urgent telegram to Zhao Erfeng, Minister of Sichuan Yunnan border affairs, requesting to send troops to attack Bomi. Zhao Erfeng sent Fengshan, the commander of the border army, to supervise Bomi and divide the East and West routes with the Qing troops stationed in Tibet. In July, Bomi was pacified, and in August, the vanguards of the Qing Dynasty attacked gongbujiangda, set up barracks in Taizhao, and erected the stone tablet of "Taishan shigandang" (now collected in a local farmer's home).

Taizhao ancient city is connected with Tangfan ancient road. The ancient road makes the ancient city, and the ancient city guards the ancient road. The Tangfan ancient road, built in the period of Songzanganbu, was an important traffic road connecting the ancient Tubo and the inland. Songzanganbu went to Baihai (Zhaling lake, Qinghai) to marry Princess Wencheng. At the entrance of the Tangfan ancient road, there is a depression on the right side of the cliff. The local people call it the Tibetan king's shelter stone. It is said that when Songzan Ganbu came back from marrying Princess Wencheng, it rained heavily. Songzan Ganbu took a sword to cut the mountain and let Princess Wencheng take shelter from the rain. Because of the continuous heavy rain for several days, Princess Wencheng missed her hometown, so she ordered the accompanying craftsmen to carve the portrait of the king of Tang in the cave, as well as the Scriptures, pagodas and statues of Buddha. She prayed to God that the heavy rain would stop early and she would arrive in Lhasa as soon as possible. At the same time, she also prayed that God would protect the king of Tang and make the country prosperous. The mountain that the ancient road passes through is also called zangjing mountain. There are many Tibetan inscriptions on the mountain and they are painted in vermilion. Most of these Tibetan words are the six character mantra "wenmanibeimihong".
