The origin of "little Chengdu"

Before liberation, the mule road from Piankou to the chuotou (Baiyang Township, Songpan county) opened the path from the entrance to Songpan. It was also expanded to go to Songpan city by huazilin. Besides some "partial bridges", they could basically cross the gang of horses. So many people walked. In addition, the trade activities with Songpan were expanding. Zhangla of Songpan was opening gold mines and lighting opium smoke (forbidden by the Qing government at that time) The road from Chengdu to Shiquan to Piankou and then to Songpan was relatively close and safe at that time. The first stop to Songpan was Piankou, because it took three or four days from Piankou to the town of Songpan, and there was no market outside Piankou, We can only live in yaodianziyanwo on the road, so we can have a rest in Piankou to conserve our energy. The second is to prepare some daily necessities and food on the road. This has brought many business opportunities and economic benefits to Piankou. According to the current saying, it has led to the development of the tertiary industry. At that time, most of them were barter, and they brought all kinds of goods from all over the province to Songhua Pan went to catch up with the tobacco factory, and when he arrived at the chip mouth, he was bound to show their new products and trade them. At that time, there were a lot of people going to catch up with the tobacco factories, which increased every year. There were all kinds of people, which could be regarded as "five horses, six roads" and "three educations and nine flows". They not only had businessmen, but also had all kinds of artists. The craftsmen included six provinces, including Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Anhui and Fujian, and seven special regions in the province. There were more than 3000 big tobacco gangs in more than 80 counties, who were resident in Piankou to do opium business. Most of them came from Anxian, Zhongba, Mianyang, Deyang, Jintang, Santai, Suining, Nanbu, Jiange, Xichong, Yuechi, Guang'an, Leshan, Jiangjin, Yibin, Rongchang, Longchang and other counties. The famous big smokers were Gao moto and Deng Zonghan of Jintang Gang, Yong Zigu of jiangzhang Gang, Zhou Huaide of Anxian Gang, Zou Shunhua of Zhongba Gang, Li Caizhi and Deng Congshan There were hundreds of people in the gang, thousands of them gathered in Piankou, and pan Wenhua, a Kuomintang warlord, also sent an army (in fact, hundreds of people) to stay in Piankou, which was called "no smoking". In fact, it was used to grow opium and sell it to big cities. In particular, Chengdu, Jintang, caoxiao street and Zhongba are the majority. With them, they not only brought new products and new commodities, but also advanced cultural ideas, customs, eating, wearing, using and playing. That is to say, there were some in Chengdu at that time, and there were also some in Chengdu. Those who had been in Chengdu were deeply impressed by the film At that time, it was already a "day market", that is to say, the night market was open until midnight, and the restaurants and casinos were open all night, so many outsiders said that it was "little Chengdu".
