Memory of the Ancient City
The ancient city of Anju was originally named "Chishui County", which was founded in the eighth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (AD 588) and renamed as Anju County in the sixteenth year of Chenghua of Ming Dynasty (AD 148). The small riverside town used to be a well-known business center, with salt gangs, wine gangs and slaughter gangs.
Up to now, we can still see the city walls, courtyards, ancestral halls and temples in the ancient city. "Nine palaces and eighteen temples" show the cultural roots of the ancient city without stint.
Wang Hanlin Academy, which was built in the Ming Dynasty, is the old residence of Wang, a noble family in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and still retains some nave and backyard. Local literati like to walk around here when they are free. From the Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 2 successful candidates, including four from the Hanlin in the Qing Dynasty. Later, they settled down and went out with many bachelor of arts. They were the pride of the town, and their stories also condensed the deep cultural feelings of the settled people.
Huguang Guild Hall in the old street is connected to the wall of Mazu Tempel on the left and Qi 'an CCBA on the right. There is a couplet at the gate, "Take a break to have a cup of tea for the sake of fame and gain, and have fun and bring a pot of wine for the sake of food and clothing", which expresses the ups and downs and open-mindedness of businessmen in the ancient city.
in the long ancient street, residential houses are adjacent to shops, restaurants and tea shops are interlaced, ancestral halls are connected with temples, and halls and schools look at each other ...... The memory of the ancient city is contained in the city wall, where history is superimposed and stories are circulated.
life in the ancient city
if you only have history and memory, the ancient city may only be regarded as a huge museum. But living in peace has both the past and the present. Up to now, there are still more than 5, aborigines living in the core area of this 1,5-year-old city. Their modern life is criss-crossed with historical sites, giving off a different kind of fireworks.
Xiao Gang, president of Anju Ancient City Culture Research Association, has been devoted to the collection and research of ancient city culture. "From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the ancient city of Anju produced four Hanlin, 38 Jinshi and 87 Juren, and even more famous governors of Henan, Fujian and Anhui ....." "The pipa sounded heartfelt, and the tears were wet." You know, the story of jade hairpin, a Sichuan opera, happened when we settled down. "Xiao gang is keen to tell all the stories about living in peace to people, and he is a natural storyteller in the ancient city.
Tongliang dragon is famous all over the world, and the skill of tying dragon comes from living in peace. Li Deyu, who has more than 3 years of experience in Zhalong, has always stayed in the town, just to keep the special handicrafts of the ancient city.
In the Tongliang Dragon Lantern Festival Exhibition Center, we saw this old man who is over 6 years old. "This dragon, the shape is the most important." While tidying up the faucet, he introduced, "Tongliang Dragon is very powerful, with its mouth wide open, and there are beads in it. Look, it has deer horns, shrimp eyes and lion's tail ..."
"Dragon dancing is required wherever there are Chinese, and my works are often sent abroad." He said, only when you know the dragon can you really know how to live in peace.
In the bookstore at the end of the old street in the ancient city, He Daike, the inheritor of the money board, tells the story of living in peace in his own way. Long gowns, bamboo boards, square tables, covered bowls of tea ... The small bookstore was full of guests. He Daike leaned sideways, knocked on the bamboo board and sang the lyrics of the money board at the beginning.
If you don't meet any literati and artists in the ancient city, and just walk on the old street for a while, you will also feel the strong flavor of life in the ancient city-the women who make zanba, the old people who sell zongzi, and the boss who guards the old bookstore will greet you warmly; Children are doing their homework at the door, and cats are sunbathing on the ladder .......
At present, Anju Town is closely following the positioning of "recreating the charm of a thousand-year-old city and remolding the civilization of a waterfront city", focusing on the cultural tourism industry and making Anju a "watchman" of a waterfront city civilization with all its efforts. Four blocks of living culture, waterfront experience, cultural and creative night market and supporting services are being laid out.
I believe that with the implementation of the plan, this ancient city with a thousand years will become more and more full of vitality.
