Where is the fun in Sichuan Zizhong?
Walking through the ancient streets and temples of the ancient town, you can walk into the leisure of the people in the ancient town of Qingwafangli. You will feel that Luoquan people who have experienced vicissitudes are hardworking, simple and generous. Women like to be busy with needlework in intimate chat, while old people drink tea and listen to opera, and the warm sunshine shines on their satisfied faces. There are more than a dozen teahouses in the five-mile-long old street, and the business is quite prosperous. In any teahouse here, you can have a "dragon gate array" while drinking a bowl of covered tea. Listen to the old people telling the glorious yesterday of the ancient town in authentic Tianfu dialect.
Luoquan is famous for its salt production, and its history can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the development of salt industry reached its peak. During Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, there were more than 1.500 salt wells in Luoquan, and the produced well salt won the gold medal of 1.925 Paris World Expo. At that time, merchants gathered in Luoquan, and mules in Ma Si kept barking, which was very lively. The local salt temple is the best witness. Salt Temple was built in the seventh year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1868), which is an important symbol of the glory of the ancient town. Guan Zhong in the temple is Salt god, and Guan Yu and Vulcan are accompanied by Guan Zhong's assistant. The whole Salt Hall has three layers of double eaves and high wing angles, and the dragon on the roof of the main hall plays and grabs the treasure map. Although it has gone through a hundred years of wind and rain, it is still vivid.
Now the salt temple has become a gathering place for people in the ancient town. People are sitting on the stone steps of the main hall of the Salt Temple, lazily basking in the sun. The entrance of the temple passes through the old stage and comes to the empty square in front of the temple. The surrounding wing rooms, wings and corridors have lost their former colors after years of erosion. Climb the steps to the main hall and cross the courtyard of the main hall. You can clearly see the white clouds floating in the blue sky. More than ten thick wooden pillars support the ancient temple, and the weeds on the eaves sway with the wind, as if telling the long history of the ancient town.
Wandering around the streets of luoquan at will, you will feel the quaint atmosphere of the town. However, luoquan is now facing the same dilemma as many other ancient towns: the continuous development of urban construction has increasingly threatened the existence of small towns. As a tourist, I still hope that after several years, when I set foot in this ancient town, I can still see the leisurely and comfortable life of the people in the ancient town, feel the quaint atmosphere and see the elegant and quaint ancient houses.

Everything is so harmonious and natural, which is a special case of building a town on a sloping land.
