"Being knowledgeable is a good person, and playing with benevolence is a good person." In Xiuchuan Academy in the East Street of Chengxiang Town, Qingbaijiang River, the couplets, widely criticized as "outstanding people and brilliant literary talents", have quietly paid attention to this ancient town 100 years.
"You see, in the past, there was a moat around this ancient town. The scale must be built at the county level, and there are hooded gatehouses on all four gates. " Speaking of ancient towns, the carriages of ancient towns can tell reporters three or four things. With the change of history and the development of the city, the ancient town has experienced a difficult process from construction to demolition and from demolition to construction. The reporter learned yesterday that after nearly 1 year's construction, the construction of West Street, the most intact ancient street in Chengxiang Ancient Town, has been completed, showing the urban features of the 900-year-old county town of West Street and the street pattern of the ancient city. Many historical sites with great scarcity and historical and cultural value-"the epitome of ancient politics", such as the county yamen, the famous Taoist Sanqing Temple and the Chenjiaci Hall, are presented to people with brand-new faces, which has opened the prelude to the protection and development of Chengxiang ancient town.
Duck in Jintang County, Guzhen
The building structure is magnificent and the building technology is exquisite.
Find any city traveler and ask the ancient streets of the ancient town. They must have blurted out West Street. The reporter was told countless times that if he didn't go to West Street, he would never go to Cheng Xiang. Stepping into the west street, which is about 280 meters long, makes people seem to have returned to a distant era.
Just left 10 meter, the "Jintang County Guild Hall" with a height of about five or six meters on the right hand side attracted the attention of reporters. Upon inquiry, it was learned that the county government facing south was a building in the Qing Dynasty, with attached buildings and prisons. During the Republic of China, the county government was the seat of Jintang county government, and all government departments were located in it. After the founding of New China, Jintang County Government moved away and turned it into Chengxiang Kindergarten, with the gate still being the yamen of the Qing Dynasty. The Chenjia Ancestral Temple in the middle section of West Street has just put up a plaque, which has become the biggest highlight on West Street in Guzhen and the most concentrated tourist attraction at present. This ancestral hall with Hakka style in Qing Dynasty covers an area of nearly 3 mu, with a building area of 1.200 square meters. It has three courtyards and is now open to tourists free of charge. The whole ancestral hall is grand in structure and exquisite in construction technology.
Chen, an old man in the ancient town, recalled 38 ancestral temples in the ancient town after visiting the oral history of the 80-and 90-year-olds. But today, only Chenjia Temple, Gai Ancestral Temple, Zengshi Temple and Shenjia Temple are well preserved. The reporter saw in Zengjiaci that the traditional quadrangle with small blue tile and wood structure, such as doorposts, main beams and roofs, were well preserved and the patterns could be distinguished. The gate connected with Chengxiang Middle School is tall, spacious and spectacular.
Ancient town humanity weiqi
Since ancient times, every doll has been reading.
"Cheng Xiang this place has been full of literary spirit since ancient times. This used to be the old county seat of Jintang. During the Anti-Japanese War alone, there were 4 primary schools, 1 junior high school, 2 high schools and 1 junior college in this small place. " Mr. He Shou, an old resident of Chengxiang Ancient Town, talked about his hometown. "In this place, every family should send their dolls to school, no matter how hard and poor they are. At that time, Cheng Xiang could complete his studies from elementary school to university without leaving the town. "
Perhaps it is the popularity and literary spirit left over from the Millennium ancient town that has influenced and infected generations after generations. Many celebrities came out of Cheng Xiang's courtyard, Cheng Xiang's ancestral temple and famous Cheng Xiang temple. Their fame also makes people sit up and take notice of Cheng Xiang. Among them, Huang (1030-110), the author of Song Quanshi, and Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng, Zhao Bian, Wen Yanbo, Wang et al. were laymen in the military city. The ancestor of Huang, the prototype of life in the four families of A Dream of Red Mansions, is the ancestor of Qianjun Town, Xiyi Street, Fuxi Lane (namely, Meiyuan Road11KLOC-0/No.Huang Taichang's former residence).

Be generous to officials, break strange prisons, live much more, and Zhejiang people are virtuous. In Japan, the gentry begged to stay and recommended tired officials to Taichang Temple, Shizhong and Privy Council. .
In the corner of Huaishu Street, in an inconspicuous place in Zhenxi Street, but it is in this 200-meter-long, 7-8-meter-wide small street that three big families, Yu, Fan and He, live. From these three families, there are He, the second-class provincial judge in Qing Dynasty, the famous poet Liu Shahe and He Shou, the former president of Chengdu University.
Most of the remaining courtyards of the city hall are now in disrepair. Under the guidance of enthusiastic residents of Huaishu Street, the reporter found Mijia Garden No.20 and No.21,which was built in the Qing Dynasty and now houses 2/kloc-0 families. The reporter can also vaguely see the quadrangle-style architectural layout of the quadrangle-the main room, the wing room, the study room and so on. The function is reasonable, the division of labor is strict, and the decoration and sculpture in the room are well preserved. The old man in the yard said that this four-way house used to have a lotus pond, rockery and embroidered building, which accounted for one-third of the whole area of Huaishu Street, and now it has been destroyed too much.
The "picturesque building" at the end of Huaishu Street is the former residence of He, a second-class provincial judge in Qing Dynasty. His descendant, Mr. He Shoulao, lived in the city hall for 1/3 hours after he retired from Chengdu University. "Cheng Xiang has the inheritance left by our ancestors. For example, the painting building was built by my great-grandfather in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. " He Lao told reporters. For so many years, he and his wife have kept this place in good order, and the courtyard pattern is well preserved, which is in sharp contrast with the dilapidated old houses around.
The reporter visited Yu Jia Garden, the former residence of the famous contemporary poet Liushahe. Unfortunately, the door was closed. Through the crack of the door, a security door outside the inner courtyard 10 meter locked the old wooden house with bucket structure.
Ancient Town Xiuchuan Academy
Brick and wood architecture has trained many celebrities.
Xiuchuan Academy is located in Chengxiang Town East Street, covering an area of 5,085 square meters. The academy is divided into four entrances: the first and second entrances are courtyards with wings on both sides; Sanjin is an external lecture hall; The four entrances are the internal lecture hall. They are all brick and wood structures, green tile roofs, lattice doors and windows. 10, Lu Weiming, then the magistrate of Jintang County, built a test shed in the academy. 1964 experimental shed was demolished and turned into the playground of Chengxiang Middle School.

Nowadays, drinking tea, sitting or meditating in a well-preserved college is still a kind of enjoyment.
Uncle Luo of the ancient street told the reporter: "Xiuchuan Academy is absolutely rare in the ancient town of Chengdu. It would be great if we could restore the layout of lectures and provincial examinations in the Ming and Qing Dynasties like Gong Yuan in the ancient city of Langzhong! "
Mingsha ancient temple in ancient town
Wu Temple is higher than the Confucian Temple, which is a rare phenomenon in China.
At the west end of West Street, the reporter saw the newly renovated "Sanqing Pavilion".

Mingjiao Temple is located in the school building of Chengxiang Middle School, with a history of about 1200 years ago, but now there is only one ancient building with Ming Dynasty style-Huangjue Hall. In the old grain depot in Dongjie, the reporter saw the Confucius Temple, which was built in the second year of Jiayou (1057). Now there are only Dacheng Hall, Worship Temple, Front Hall and Wing. As a municipal key cultural relic protection unit, the Confucian Temple has been protected by the city wall. Wuxi Temple of Chengxiang Middle School was built in the 9th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1804), which lasted for 5 years and cost 1 more than two thousand silver.

When it enters, it is a color platform, an east-west iron gate and an instrument door; Second, enter the hospital from the instrument door to the platform; Sanjinyuan forms the courtyard of the east-west wing and the main hall of the platform. " The height of the Wu Temple is 12m, which is higher than that of the Confucian Temple11.1m. Although the difference is less than 1m, it is rare for Wuci to surpass the Confucian Temple in China.

" The staff of Chengxiang Town Government told the reporter that with the completion of West Street, the protection and development of Chengxiang Ancient Town began from point to surface. "First a street, then a temple, and do every little detail well."
The reporter saw that the planning of East Street has been introduced. It is reported that the Chengdu International Container Logistics Park in Chengxiang Town will start construction next year. Cheng Xiangzhen took a fancy to the employees, customers, business people and other target groups in the logistics park, and made a "spoon-shaped" layout of the ancient street planning. According to reports, the "spoon heart" part is a core tourist circle with Xiuchuan Academy, Wu Miao Temple, Zoroastrianism Temple, Jiazhen Park, Jiazhen Memorial Hall and Shoufo Temple as the main attractions; The "spoon handle" part is a characteristic "100-meter tourism cultural belt" with the theme of operating characteristic tourist souvenirs and folk handicrafts.

In 2005, Mr. Ying Jinhua, a member of the Expert Committee of Historical and Cultural Cities of the Ministry of Construction, said that Chengxiang Town, as a former county, left many historical sites. Although it has been severely damaged in recent years, there is still a lot of historical information. "If a wall is torn down by half, protect the other half. Put it there and keep it all good things. "
