survey
Zhongtou Town, known as "little Shanghai", is a famous town in the Central Plains with a history of more than 2000 years. It has bred many famous historical figures, such as Ji Xin, an important general of Liu Bang, Emperor Han, Bo Ji, the mother of Emperor Han Wen, Tong GUI, a poet of Qing Dynasty, Niu Zilong, a famous Anti Japanese general in modern times, etc.
Since ancient times, with convenient transportation, developed commerce and a large number of merchants, Zhongtou has been known as "little Shanghai" and "fighting for gold with each passing day". There are more than 30000 square meters of well preserved Ming and Qing ancient buildings in the town, including the Lanhe seven hole stone bridge, which was built in 1534, the 13th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the former residence of Xie Xueshi, the former residence of Liu Sihe and the former residence of qindusi. These former residences are all in the architectural style of a courtyard with four entrances. The main building is a two-story building with square carved wooden windows. The patterns are fine and the workmanship is exquisite. The courtyard is made of red stone and paved with blue stone. Now the whole courtyard is well preserved.
Zhongtou town attaches great importance to the protection of the ancient town. It has invested 1 million yuan to cross the East and west villages to green the Lan River, and 5 million yuan to reinforce the ancient streets of Ming and Qing Dynasties. In 2007, the town was named "Zhongzhou town" by the Provincial Department of construction; in 2008, it was named "folk art town" by the Provincial Department of culture, and "Henan historical and cultural town" by the Provincial Department of construction.
In 2010, through the investigation, evaluation, demonstration and acceptance of the expert group, Zhongtou town successfully declared as "China's famous historical and cultural town".
The Party committee and government of Zhongtou town plan for the long history and long catering culture of Yuanyuan and Liuliu, and take the excavation of local culture, the promotion of snack brand and the development of tourism industry as an important work, integrate custom culture and tea culture, improve the taste and grade, increase the investment in infrastructure, and revive the old style of "little Shanghai".
West Zhai village, East Street Village, North Street Village is the center of tsuttou town. West Zhai village street is a sign of mound head. The essence of ancient town's accumulation for more than 2000 years is reflected in this street. On this street, which is only a few hundred meters long, there are hundreds of ancient shops. On both sides of the narrow street, there are buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties everywhere. Walking on the Xizhai street of Zhongtou town makes people feel wandering in a foreign land and entering the ancient costume movies. If you think about it carefully, it's the architecture here. In the most bustling street of zumtou, in addition to a few new buildings interspersed with each other, most of the facades on the street are ancient buildings with cornices, brackets, green bricks and tiles. According to local people, most of these ancient buildings were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is worth mentioning that some ancient buildings have obvious traces of southern style, which may be built by Southern merchants when they lived here. I saw a stone tablet standing at the entrance of dongdajie, which is a record of the reconstruction of the street in the Qing Dynasty, which confirms the local people's view. In addition, the seven hole red stone bridge built in the Ming Dynasty on the blue river connecting the East and west of Zhenzhong, the old windlass well on the East Street, and the brick arch houses during the Great Leap Forward period have left a deep impression on the author. It's a sense of going back in time.
Historical evolution
Zhongtou town was built in the Han Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Hengji was filial to his mother, empress Boji. After Bo Ji's death, Emperor Wen buried the coffin in accordance with his mother's order, built a cemetery, and sent troops to guard the tomb. The imperial relatives and dignitaries of the central court paid homage to and sealed incense every year. In order to support the demand, the market rose in the south of the tomb, and the number of residents increased gradually. At first, it was called the village in front of the tomb. After several changes, it got its name.
Zhongtou commune was established in 1964, township was changed in 1984, and town was changed in 1989. In 1997, it had an area of 53 square kilometers and a population of 54000,

In 1957, it was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit. According to the records of Jiaxian County, "after the Han Dynasty was thin, the people of Jiaxian were born." She used to be the family member of Wei Wang Bao in Qin Dynasty. In 204 BC, after Ji Xin captured Wei Wang Bao alive, Bo Ji entered Liu Bang's palace and became a weaver girl. Later, she was promoted to gong'e, and got the favor of Liu Bang. She gave birth to Liu Heng, the later Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. After Liu Heng ascended the throne, Bo Ji became empress dowager.
Ji Xinzhong
On the Bank of the blue river, there is also a record letter of Han Dynasty general who died on behalf of the king. According to historical records, in 204 BC, in the Chu Han war, Jixin disguised himself as Liu Bang and was burned by Xiang Yu in order to protect Liu Bang from danger in Xingyang. Jixin was burned and buried in Xiaoyi fort in the west of Xingyang city. Xingyang still has a complete Tomb of general Jixin. Nowadays, many stories about the ancient battlefield can be heard in Shiyuan village by the blue water river. Because Jixin died as a representative, it was highly praised by the ruling class of all dynasties. After his death, Jixin was named "Zhongyou" (later known as zhongliehou) by Liu Bang. In Song Dynasty, he was granted "Zhong (you) an Han Gong", in Yuan Dynasty, he was granted "Fu De Xian Zhong Kang Ji Wang", and in Ming Dynasty, he was granted "zhongliehou".

In the third year of the Chu Han War (204 BC), he was burned and killed by Xiang Yu to protect Liu Bang from danger in Xingyang. This matter is recorded in both Hanshu and Shiji. After Liu Bang became emperor, his hometown was called "Jixin village" and later called "Jixin village". Lu Zang, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, wrote an article on the memorial tablet, and Yu Youren, an old man of the Kuomintang, wrote a poem in the memorial temple.

On the stele, they engraved "taboo Wang Shou, Yuzhang, Songlu, Jinshi, yushichi, etc., the office of the main hall of Langjia County, Wenlin County, Ruzhou, and Yongjia, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province" to show their admiration and wish Chen Gong eternal life Good.
