History and culture

Zagunao town was built when Li Deyu was appointed governor of Xichuan in Jiannan. According to Tongjian, "Deyu went to the town to make a building for planning the border. It mapped the topography of Shu, entered Nanzhao in the south, and reached Tubo in the West. The Japanese call for those who are old at military affairs and studying frontier affairs, though they have no place in the world, to visit mountains and rivers, cities and roads are dangerous and easy, wide and narrow. If you don't have more than a month, you will be able to experience the past. " It can be seen that Li Deyu built this building not only for the purpose of viewing, but also for military purposes. During his term of office, he recovered the Uighur city occupied by Tubo, and Xichuan was always stable. At that time, there were frequent wars on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Li Deyu, who was then the governor of Xichuan in Jiannan, built a "building for preparing for the war", encouraging morale and raising money for the border affairs. Li Deyu has a strategic vision and pays attention to struggle strategy. He does not regard this building as a military fortress, but as a place of communication to mingle with the leaders of ethnic minorities. Therefore, during his six years in office, Tang Dynasty and Tubo lived in peace in Western Sichuan, making great contributions to the harmony and tranquility of the border. In November of the sixth year of Taihe, Li Deyu was transferred to leave Shu. Since then, border disputes have arisen again.
It is said that Xue Tao, a 20-year-old poetess in the middle Tang Dynasty, was sent to Songzhou (now Songpan county) because she offended Wei Gao, the then governor of jiannanchuan West. On the way, she paid special attention to Li Deyu, a famous minister before the Tang Dynasty, who was appointed governor of jiannanchuan West. During the period, she built a conference building in Baoxian (now Xuecheng town of Lixian County) and made a detour to write the poem "Ji" Bian Lou. He left behind a famous poem that has been handed down for thousands of years: < br > he was in the autumn of eight windows with clouds and birds, and he was strong in the forty prefectures of Xichuan.
The generals are not greedy for the horses of the Qiang nationality. They can be seen at the top.
Looking from afar, young Xue Tao can express such strong feelings in adversity without any self pity, which not only reflects the poet's sentiment, but also shows the influence of this building in Qiang and Tibetan border areas. If the building is not high, it will be famous if there are poems. Therefore, it is famous all over the world.
Most of the glazed tiles on the eaves of the Chibian building are rubble, while the watchtower is still standing in the wind and rain. Zagunao River meanders along the foot of the building. On the left side of Xiong'er mountain, there is a big stone with a long round shape on the top, which looks like a bear's ear. On the right side of Bijia mountain, looking down slightly, it seems that it is going to dip Zagunao River with a pen to write down the disaster stricken and vicissitudes of Chibian building.
Standing on the ancient bridge in the south ditch of Xuecheng and looking at the Chibian building again, the building still looks majestic and exquisite in the sun, like the eulogy of Chu Yi people returning to their dreams and passing through the corridor and high Pavilion of image master. Its momentum of "a hundred foot building supporting a line of sky" still makes the surrounding buildings pale. Behind the building is a huge Gleditsia sinensis tree. Although it is in early winter, it is still covered with green branches and leaves, and is protected by the sun and frost. It's a miracle.
What is left to us by the memory of the side building, those brave men who hold fast to their positions, and the battlefield of blood splashing promises? I'm afraid only historians can evaluate it. We only cautiously embed this ancient building in the eyes of visitors and a page of the book.
Xiao Chongsu, male, Han nationality, is a famous modern folk writer and professor. His pseudonym is balan. He is from Yong'an Town, an County, Sichuan Province. At present, he is the consultant of China Research Association, vice chairman of Sichuan Research Association for the people's Republic of China and director of provincial Gesar office. ）His poems will show us what to think about or what to think about: < br > section makes the day and night hard to raise the edge, why not move the strategy to the Central Plains.
I didn't know that in the rainy days of the imperial court, the misfortune lies in the Xiao wall.
In 1935, the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army established the strategic planning building in the Soviet area. Through this building, they went northward, climbed over the snow mountains, crossed the grassland, left the footprints of the Long March, and paved the way for the liberation of the frontier and the establishment of new China. Because of this, the historical value of the "planning building" is far-reaching.
The Chibian building is not only a historical witness of the confrontation between Tang and Tibet, but also a symbol of the local people's aversion to war and love for peace. As a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit, it was destroyed in the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1662-1722). The existing building was built in the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty (1736-1795). Due to years of wind and rain, there is a danger of collapse. In 2005, Sichuan Province, Aba Prefecture and Li county invested 270000 yuan to carry out the protective restoration of the Chibian building in accordance with the principle of "repair the old as before, keep the original appearance and ensure safety". In July 2009, the post earthquake rescue and maintenance project of the Chibian building in Xuecheng of Li county was approved by the development and Reform Commission of Li County as "no.484 [2009] of hairdressing reform", and the repaired Chibian building has been completed It is a beautiful landscape in the Baili Tibetan and Qiang cultural corridor of Aba Prefecture.

The origin of place names

Zagunao town in Lixian County is a homonym of "zaxilang" in Tibetan, which means "auspicious place". According to the records of Lipan hall, Zagunao was named in seven dynasties. During the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Wei, a general of Shu, once stationed troops to build a city here. Zagunao was originally under the jurisdiction of Cangwang chieftain. During the reign of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, Zagunao Zhili hall was set up with it. In 1752 A.D., Cangwang chieftain was destroyed and Wutun was set up Naotun, established in 1952 as Zagunao Town, is one of the transportation fortresses and trade distribution markets in Northwest Sichuan.
There is another origin of Zagunao: < br > it is said that after the king Tuban unified the area, he appointed some local governors. The old official here, the ancestor of the later chief chieftain Cangwang, wanted to build a castle in today's Lixian County. So he visited many places, but he was not satisfied. Finally, when he looked in today's Zagunao area, he saw that the direction of the mountains here was a gathering of dragons, and the tigers were guarding the mountains. He was immediately attracted by it. Suddenly, a group of wild geese flew across the sky, and the birds were singing and singing. The officer thought it was a good omen. In addition, he stayed here to stay that night, and dreamed of flying rainbow hanging color and red light. According to the superstition in his mind, he thought it was really a good place, so he made up his mind and decided to build a fortress here.
After the completion of GuanZhai, he named it "gaxiangchao" according to the auspicious omen of the site selection, which means "auspicious city" in Tibetan. Later, due to the relationship between translation and interpretation, Chinese characters were written as its homophonic "Zagunao".
