River economy

Shangyong town is a natural inland river wharf. Many rivers, such as kutao River, Shenhe River, Guandu River and Sihe River, converge here, making Shangyong town connect with Shaanxi and Sichuan, and reach Wuhan and Xiangfan. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many fairs and merchants gathered here. The wood, raw lacquer, salt and other local products in Northwest Hubei were sold to Jianghan and Huguang through the golden waterway of Duhe River, while the porcelain, cloth and culture from the outside world were continuously imported by water transportation.

In the Qinba Mountains, there is a big river called Duhe that runs through the whole territory. In the middle and upper reaches of Duhe, there is a famous old city called Shangyong. After 3600 years of historical vicissitudes, it is still as clear and simple as a river. Duhe river passes through the middle of Shangyong Town, which is divided into South dam and North dam.

History of Beiba

Huangzhou temple is the best witness to the history of Beiba. Huangzhou Temple used to be the largest temple of Shangyong. It is said that the gold plaque on the front floor of the temple was given by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The ancient osmanthus in the middle of the courtyard has vigorous branches, luxuriant leaves and a crown diameter of more than ten meters. According to the local old people, although the tree has a history of more than 800 years, it is still full of vitality. It sprouts every year and blooms every year. In August, when Osmanthus fragrans are in full bloom, it is always fragrant. The whole Shangyong can smell its intoxicating fragrance.

Huangzhou temple, which used to be bustling, has now been transformed into a grain depot, and its former glory can only be recalled from the ruins: stone pillars carved with dragons, gold plaques bestowed by the emperor, marble steles and exquisite stone carvings

During the Chengde period of the Ming Dynasty, tianjiaba town (now Shangyong town) got its name because most of its residents were surnamed Tian. However, the most famous people in the history of Shangyong town were not Tian, but Wang. In the north of Shangyong, there used to be a large Qing Dynasty manor with an area of 2420 square meters, known as "sanshengyuan". Its owner was the richest man in Qinba mountain area, the three brothers of Wang family. Sansheng courtyard was built in the late Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. The whole courtyard is in the shape of "King". There are 48 patios and more than 1000 rooms in the courtyard. There is a stage in front of the house and a garden behind the house. The stone lion in front of the door is powerful, and the woodcut patterns on the window sashes are lifelike. More than 100 years ago, a nameless fire burned down the reputation of sanshengyuan. The ruins, the broken hall and the ancient trees are just like telling the changes of the world.
