Original name

There are good fields, beautiful ponds, bamboo trees, small bridges and flowing water. The ancients once left behind "fishing fire is far away from the city, and the village gate is half covered with firewood.". Come to the stream at night and sleep, and dream is in Gaozhai.

Chongjiangchang is named after Chongqing county and Wenjiang county. It is named after bridge, so it is called "chongjiangchang". In fact, Chongzhou and Wenjiang used to be under the jurisdiction of Jiangyuan county. In 555 ad, in the second year of emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty, Chongzhou and Wenjiang separated from Jiangyuan county and set up the county on the two ends of Chongjiang bridge, Yongsheng township of Wenjiang County in the East and Jiangyuan township of Jinyuan County in the West. Since then, although the name of the county and township has changed, the two counties and two townships share a bridge farm. Up to now, "one foot steps on two counties, one city connects two townships", so the local people also call it lianerli city.

Development history

The Shiyu River, which runs through lianerli City, divides water from the Jinma River at laojundu where it flows through the long beach of Wenjiang River to form a winding river to the south. The slowly flowing river flows through the bridge from north to south, which divides the small field into two parts: East and West. Chongjiang bridge connects the two parts to form a small bridge field. The villagers on both sides of the river have worked hard and multiplied in this land, creating splendid agricultural civilization and leaving rich historical and cultural relics. It is said that the stone fish river is named after the stone fish in the river, which leads to some fairy tales. Up to now, there is still a folk proverb that "stone fish vs stone drum, silver ten thousand five". In laojundu, not far from Chongjiang bridge, it is said that Li Laojun, the founder of Taoism, once traveled here.

Lianerli city has a long history of bridge building culture. According to the local records of Wenjiang County by Xuantong of Qing Dynasty, Chongjiang bridge was built in 1817, 192 years ago. In 1854, there was Zeng Peixiu in the third year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty. However, it can be seen from the waterstop temple built beside the ancient bridge in the 35th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi that there was a Chang Bridge here as early as the reign of Emperor Kangxi. According to the local old man, in the early Qing Dynasty, villagers along the river built a simple temporary bridge of bamboo and wood structure beside the small market to facilitate the market. At that time, there were only a few thatched cottages near the city bridge, and most of the pedestrians stopped here. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, more and more people moved from Huguang to settle down. People transformed wooden bridges into stone bridges. Later, another Huang family built a water roller beside the bridge yard, which is commonly known as Huang family roller. After the opening of the mill, the business is booming, and the number of businessmen who come from all over the world to rest and stay at night is increasing. In the spring of 1926, the local people first raised money to rebuild Chongjiang bridge on the site of the bridge, which took one year to complete. The newly built Chongjiang bridge, 11.85 meters long, 7.5 meters wide, 5.5 meters high, and 5.6 meters long, is a full wooden gallery bridge with a truss structure; the bridge foundation is built with stone piers; the bridge head is a double eaves veranda archway; the middle is a double eaves suspended on the top of the mountain, covered with gray tube and small green tiles, and molded with black animals; the ridge of the roof is carved with "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "white snake biography" Traditional dramas, such as "the marriage of Taoyuan" and "the marriage of Taoyuan", have vivid and fascinating characters; the appearance is cornice and angle, with hanging flowers carved on the lintel column of the archway; a black plaque is hung in the middle of the bridge, with three golden characters of "Chongjiang Bridge"; the bridge deck is made of wood; the deep pool under the bridge is clear and flowing water; the surrounding bamboo and wood are hidden and quiet.

At that time, there were more than 40 hotels, restaurants and tea houses at both ends of Chongjiang bridge. From Huaiyuan, Yuantong, Liaojia and other places, the wood, wooden crafts and agricultural and sideline local products are continuously transported through Chongjiang farm, Huangjia ferry, Jinmahe River, Wenjiang River and Chengdu, and sold to Sichuan and all over the country. Cloth, salt and various daily necessities transported from Chengdu are distributed here and sold to Chongzhou, Dayi, Dujiangyan and other places. At this time, Chongjiang has become a material distribution center for dozens of miles around. Due to the convenient transportation and prosperous business atmosphere, some famous officials and businessmen from other places successively bought land and built houses on the site, bought farmland and let them rent. Huangjiaci and leijiaci in the site enjoy a high reputation in Bazi, Western Sichuan. The whole market street is lined with shops and shops, forming a rural bridge yard with well arranged and winding bridges.
