Human history

Yangjiatan, commonly known as Yangshi, is an ancient market town in the hinterland of central Hunan. During the Wude reign of emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, merchants gathered, and the bare blue stone floor of the old street sounded the footsteps of pedestrians. The ancient buildings in the pavilion in the East Street still preserved 48 patios, which is a wonder. That simple folk customs, who will think of the ancient love. When the sun rises in the East and sets in the west, standing on the stone arch bridge full of Mulian built in the Ming Dynasty, sun Shui, a tributary of Lianshui, flows slowly from the winding Longshan mountain, through the ancient town, joins Lianshui and flows into Xiangjiang River. The river is clear, the water plants are luxuriant and swaying, and the small fish come and go from time to time, just like a bright and beautiful landscape painting. Xiaoxiang film studio once filmed TV series here.

"Rhinoceros looks at the moon", "Longtan absorbs water", "Jiujiang Temple stele forest", "Tianzhu peak" and Antang temples are famous tourist attractions. Located in Qiaotou Chong Jiang Wan Li, 2km southwest of the town, it is the birthplace of famous local writer Jiang Muliang and the ancestral home of Zhang Tianyi. Longtan bay nearby is surrounded by green water, dense shade, rugged rocks, towering trees, exotic flowers and plants, all over the forest. More than 50 ancient steles of Tang, song, yuan and Ming Dynasties were preserved in Jiujiang temple. The Tianzhu peak, 5km southwest of the town, has many nunnery temples. The Yunji temple near the main peak has a couplet: "the five colors of the clouds follow the Tianling mountain, and gather Qianxiang to support the Zhufeng mountain". The two names of "Tianzhu peak" and "Yunji Temple" are inlaid in the couplet. It's a pity that these places of interest and historic sites have been removed as "four old". Three kilometers west of the town, a stone in Yangzijiang looks like a rhinoceros. People call it "rhinoceros looks at the moon". There is a couplet, only the first couplet "rhinoceros sleeps in the west, rhinoceros Yangzi sleeps in sorrow", so far, no one has made the second couplet.

In the old days, SunShui was navigable. It was the hub to Baoqing, Changsha, Anhua and Hengyang. Bamboo, paper, medicinal materials and industrial products from Hankou and Changsha were distributed here. During the Anti Japanese War, the eastern section of Hunan Guizhou railway was opened to traffic, and many factories and schools were evacuated from big cities to open shops, run schools and set up factories here. At that time, Zhounan women's middle school and Yueping middle school, both of which were private schools in Hunan Province, had run schools here. Therefore, they were known as "little Nanjing" and popular folk songs such as "playing tricks on Nanyue Mountain and making trouble on yangjiatan" were enough to reflect their prosperity.

With the convenient navigation and prosperous commerce, dragon boat race has been regarded as a symbol of the prosperity of Yangshi town for thousands of years.
