Xingping ancient town

Xingping ancient town is located on the East Bank of the Lijiang River, where the Lijiang river turns around and flows. The design on the back of 20 yuan is the real scene of Xingping.

The end of the Li River section will come ashore and will come here. Compared with the bustling West Street, Xingping is full of vicissitudes, simple and unadorned. The bluestone slabs polished by time show the original flavor of Yangshuo.

There are few people in the dilapidated streets. In the off-season, we only hear the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs because of the annual flood. Nevertheless, there are still many homesick villagers and people who come from afar to love and settle here, and always stick to this land with traces of time everywhere. Suitable for nostalgic tourists.

In addition, don't forget to taste the famous "turpentine" in Xingping since then. The turpentine with brownish yellow luster is crisp in quality, dense in grain but not contained. It is sweet and crisp, and tastes like slag.

Xingping ancient town

As early as the first year of Wu Ganlu in the Three Kingdoms (265 A.D.), Xingping market town was under the jurisdiction of Xiping County, which was under the jurisdiction of Yangshuo County. In 590 A.D., Xiping County was abandoned and Yangshuo County was established, so Xingping was under the jurisdiction of Yangshuo County.

There are not only eight scenic spots and 24 scenic spots such as jiuma Huashan, Luosi mountain, Lianhua rock, Tianshui village and Lingbao Pavilion, but also Tengjiao nunnery built in the Ming Dynasty.

present situation

Xingping, a bright pearl on the Lijiang River, is located in the northeast of Yangshuo County, 25 kilometers away from the county. The back view of 20 yuan RMB is in Xingping. Most of the ancient buildings with various brick and tile structures are well preserved. Shizidan in the southeast of the ancient street is the site of Xiping County. The outline of the city wall is still clear, and fragments of ancient bricks, tiles and ceramics can be seen everywhere. It's just that the original bustling county where people are seen by cars and horses presents a quiet atmosphere of secluded green mountains and a few cottages. What's puzzling is that an ancient banyan tree, which is said to be planted when the county was built, can only be embraced by eight people, is still luxuriant and leafy. Its roots actually swallow five Bodhisattvas and a large stone weighing about 20 tons into the tree, as if telling people about the historical vicissitudes of the ancient town for more than 1730 years .

There are more than 20 cross eye marks left by the two pillars at the entrance of the stage due to the performance, which can still be seen vaguely. There are four wood carvings across the edge of the stage. The figures in the picture are vivid and the techniques are vivid. It is identified that they are relief carvings of four traditional operas. They are Xianji's sending off her son and manmenrongfeng in Five Dynasties, Guan Yu's beheading Cai Yang in guchenghui, Yao Tong's holding a lion in Jindian in juzihui and yingkaoshu's holding a tripod in Jindian in zhuozido. On the left side of the stage is a four piece one-piece folding wooden screen, all of which are Nan bamboo reliefs. The lower end of the screen is inscribed as a gift from Banqiao in Qianlong Yichou's year. Whether it was created by Zheng Banqiao remains to be verified by experts.

The ancient town of Xingping has a long history. Since 265 A.D., the first year of Wu Ganlu in the Three Kingdoms period, it has been the county government of Xiping County, which is located in shizigu village of Xingping town. In 590 A.D., Xiping County government moved from shizigu to Yangshuo Town, where it was only used as a fair. After a long period of time, Xiping was falsely transferred to Xingping, which has a history of more than 1730 years. Xingping has a long history with mountains and rivers. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Xiping County was established in the eastern Wu Dynasty, and later it was renamed Xingping. Here, surrounded by mountains and clear water, the scenic spots are called "three rocks, five wells and thirteen mountains". The green bamboos and weeping willows along the banks of the river, fluttering with the wind, reflect the sparse forests and peaks in the river, melt into the sky and sink into the bottom of the water. In the evening, the foot of Wuzhi Mountain is like a fairyland, with a few leaves of fishing boats shuttling, and the scenery is magical.

Painter Xu Beihong came here to paint from life and said, "the beautiful scenery of Yangshuo is in Xingping."

There is Qianyuan bridge in the riverside section of Xingping ancient street. Due to historical changes, the two ends of the bridge can no longer reach the water of the bridge. However, the stone slabs on the bridge deck are smooth and flat. In the past, the eaves of the corridor bridge drip water to form small pits on the stone slab surface. It is very clear that standing on the bridge deck, people can't help but remember its long history. Beside the rongtan ancient ferry pier, there are still large stone strips lying on the stone foundation with dragons and phoenixes embossed on them. This is the liujiaoting site of the ancient ferry. Along the stone steps, you can see the three-story octagonal pavilion and the Beidi Temple site.
