Records of Chaodi town

Chaodi town annals is the first town annals of Dejiang County and even the region. Its rudiment has been formed after seven months of careful compilation. The main reasons and purposes of compiling the annals include: firstly, Chaodi is located along the Wujiang River, with a long history, profound cultural heritage, hardworking and kind people, simple customs and outstanding people. It is the representative of Wujiang culture in the territory It will highlight the Wujiang culture accumulated for thousands of years and play a good role in promoting the next step of building Wujiang characteristic regional culture.
Second, history continues to this day. There is no Township chronicle in the territory, and Chaodi has no literature and classics that accurately record the history of Chaodi so far.
Third, through investigation and verification, we should make clear some vague and ambiguous historical facts and give future generations an accurate, clear and clear account.
The fourth is to leave precious historical and cultural heritage for future generations and make it a local teaching material with the function of "preserving history, supporting politics and educating".
At the meeting, Xia Guoqing, executive editor in chief of Chaodi Zhenzhi, elaborated on the principles of compiling Chaodi Zhenzhi and the chapters of Chaodi Zhenzhi. In addition, the specific investigation contents and methods of the social investigation materials in Chaodi town records were communicated with the participants in detail.

Landscape scenery

The mainstay of Central Guizhou

"The mainstay of Central Guizhou" cliff inscriptions are now the only handwriting left by Mr. Tian Qiu. It has been designated as a key cultural relics protection unit by the provincial government, and is clearly visible up to now. If you don't visit Chaodi, it means you haven't been to Chaodi. This cliff carving has become the symbol of Chaodi. "The mainstay of Central Guizhou" has four big characters, each of which is about 0.3 square meters. There are small characters on the front and back of the characters, each of which is 5cm. The preceding paragraph is "Jiashen year old Meng Chunyue Jidan", and the signature is "Xilu Tian Qiu ti". The completion and opening of Shatuo hydropower station will submerge the market town and this cliff stone carving. The cultural relics protection units of the provincial government will be relocated in the future. They will be moved to the new cultural relics exhibition hall set up by our government. Together with our Wujiang stone and Chaodi town records, they will be stored in this exhibition hall to welcome the attention of friends from all over the world.

Sleeping beauty in Wujiang

Standing at taping wharf, looking to the East, you can see a view of Chaodi. The undulating mountains in the distance form a beautiful pattern: a beautiful woman, with clear facial features and protruding abdomen, sleeps quietly on the top of a high mountain. The book is called Wujiang Sleeping Buddha. The local people like to call it "Sleeping Beauty" affectionately.

Ancient tomb in Chaodi town

The ancient tomb is located in GuanZhai village, which was discovered by villager Zhang when excavating the foundation of the house. It is understood that the chamber of this ancient tomb is about 1.5 meters wide and more than 3 meters deep, which is deeper than the ordinary chamber. There is a crossbeam on the top of the tomb. No remains were found in the tomb. No skeleton was found. Only a few ribs of the owner were left. In front of the tomb, there is a stone pillar on both sides, which is engraved with traditional Chinese characters such as "enjoy wealth forever"; two stone slabs are used as doors and carved with patterns. two Ming Dynasty porcelain bowls were unearthed in front of the gate. According to the research of their patterns and patterns, the porcelain bowls were popular in the Ming Dynasty, and they were estimated to be used by later generations to offer incense and hold sacrificial articles. There are more than 100 ancient tombs of the song, Ming and Qing Dynasties in this area. Among them, there are more than 10 tombs of the Ming Dynasty in Tongjing Township, covering an area of 100 square meters. There are more than 2 to 4 tombs built with stone slabs. There are more than 20 tombs on both sides of Wujiang River in Dashaba, Changbao township. Among them, a epitaph unearthed from the tomb can be seen in the Ming Dynasty's "Prince Taibao Bingbu Shangshu" and other contents. In Chaodi Town, there are more than 50 tombs of song and Ming Dynasties in guanzhaiba, Qingmen and Lianhe. The tombs are built with large stone slabs. Some tombs have carved patterns on the lintel, both sides of the doorpost and the back wall, including Erlong Xizhu, cirrus flowers and plants. Some tombs have an caisson in the middle. Two tombs are the most common, and most of them are buried together by husband and wife. The excavation of these tombs, according to the preliminary inference, is an ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, with a history of more than 1000 years, which is expected to provide information for the study of the history, economic and cultural development of Dejiang River and even Wujiang River Basin in Guizhou. However, these ancient tombs are located at the edge of the upstream water area of Wujiang Shatuo hydropower station, a national key project under construction - "west to East power transmission". With the completion of the power station in 2011, the river will be cut off to store water and the water level will rise. If not rescued and protected in time, a considerable number of ancient tombs will sink to the bottom of the river.
