About 4500-5500 years ago, the ancestors of Baiyue came here along the Xijiang River and Beijiang River to thrive, and started the primitive civilization by fishing and making pottery.

In the second year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 628), because three Buddha statues were excavated on Tapogang in the city, they thought this place was a place of Buddhism, so they set up a stone table and changed Ji Hua Township to "Foshan". Foshan is the birthplace of Cantonese opera Southern Red Bean, and also has the reputation of "the hometown of Lingnan medicine" and "the hometown of lion art". It was called four famous towns in China in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Four ancient towns in Guilin:

I. Dawei Ancient Town

Dawei ancient town is the first of the "four major towns" in ancient Guangxi and the first of the four major ancient towns in Guilin. The ancient town of David was founded in 200 AD. Laodaxu Old Street stretches for 2 kilometers along the Lijiang River. The streets that are not wide are paved with bluestone slabs, and there are well-preserved old houses on both sides of the slate road.

Dawei ancient town is located on the east bank of Lijiang River, southeast of Fuziyan, north of Mopan Mountain, 23 kilometers away from Guilin. Historically, the ancient town was built in the early Northern Song Dynasty, revived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and flourished in the Republic of China. It has a history of thousands of years. As far back as 600 years ago, Dawei became the largest of the four major towns in Guangxi because of its size.

The ancient town of Dawei was once known as Chang 'an City and Lutian City, also known as Dawei. Small settlements have been formed in the Han Dynasty, which was a prosperous commercial market town in the Northern Song Dynasty and one of the four ancient towns in Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty. Its business began in the Song Dynasty, with tax officials. In Yu Ming, Zhongxing, Lingui County Annals in the 31st year of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty was called "Land and Water Wharf", and it was called "Small Guilin" during the Anti-Japanese War. More than 65,438+100000 people went to the market and 200-300 ships docked. The local business culture is rich and distinctive.

When Jie Jin, a great genius in Ming Dynasty, was exiled to Guilin, he went to Dawei and wrote a well-known poem "Dawei". "Lutian Temple on the Dawei River is surrounded by thousands of bamboos. After the new morning banquet at six o'clock, the strong lotus leaves are wrapped in salt. " It vividly depicts a prosperous scene.

Second, Xingping Ancient Town

Xingping Ancient Town is located in Xingping Town, Yangshuo County, Guilin. It is a thousand-year-old town and one of the four ancient towns in Guilin. Xingping ancient town has a long history. Since the first year of Wu Ganlu in the Three Kingdoms (AD 265), it has been ruled by xiping county and is located in Shishimura, Xingping Town. In the 10th year of Emperor Yangdi's reign (AD 590), Xiping County moved from Lion Town to Yangshuo Town, with only a market. Xiping was gradually misinformed as Xingping after a long time, with a history of 1 730 years. Xingping is surrounded by mountains and waters with beautiful scenery and a long history. During the Three Kingdoms period, Dongwu established xiping county rule here, and Xiping was homophonic, renamed Xingping. Surrounded by mountains and clear water, the scenic spot is called "Three Rocks, Five Wells and Thirteen Mountains". Bamboo and weeping willows by the river fluttered with the wind, reflecting the sparse forests and peaks in the river, melting into the sky and sinking into the water. In the evening, the foot of Wuzhishan is like a fairyland, and several fishing boats shuttle back and forth, and the scenery is magical. Marshal Ye Jianying once praised after visiting: "Sure enough, Jiasheng is in Xingping." Painter Xu Beihong came here to sketch and said, "The beauty of Yangshuo is in Xingping."

Xingping ancient town is also a bright pearl on the Lijiang River in Guilin, echoing the north and south of Dawei ancient town, with similar history, culture and landscape. There are not only eight scenic spots and twenty-four scenic spots, such as Jiuma Painting Mountain, Luosi Mountain, Lotus Rock, Tianshuizhai and Lingbaoge, but also Tengjiao Temple in Ming Dynasty (1998). In July, then US President Bill Clinton visited the Lijiang River and Xingping Fishing Village, which attracted many Chinese and foreign tourists to follow the president's footsteps.

Three. Shazi ancient town

Shazi Ancient Town is located in Shazi Town, Pingle, Guilin, and it is also one of the four ancient towns in Guilin. According to historical records, Shazi Town was built in the Tang Dynasty. As early as the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Shazi Town was already the most prosperous market town along the Chajiang River. Because Gui Xiang Post Road passes through here, adjacent to the bank of Chajiang River, and the waterway transportation is convenient, it has become a transportation hub connecting Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, connecting northern Guangxi and central Guangxi, and has also become a place where merchants from south to north gather. Shapan Street still has the Tang Post Road. "Sand is a good place. There are schools at the foot of Weishan, three bays, nine ponds and eighteen lanes, and a memorial arch at the end of the street." This limerick vividly depicts the old sand town. The street modeling structure of Shazi Town is called "three bays, nine ponds and eighteen lanes".

The ancient stone street in Shazi ancient town has been well preserved so far, because it used to be an ancient post road. Tangyi Road is a stone street paved with large bluestones, with a length of 1.8km and a width of about 3m. Walking into the old street, I saw that the middle of the street was laid horizontally by rectangular stone slabs with the same size, and the two sides of the street were laid vertically by strip stone slabs to protect the pavement of the main street and form the "main road unit" of the stone street. Then expand to both sides to form a "shoulder". The whole pavement slab is exquisite in workmanship and orderly, which is rare in many ancient slab streets in northern Guangxi.

Shazi Ancient Town, a well-preserved ancient building, is the first pawnshop in Guangxi, Renyi Ge Bing, which was built in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. It is also the tallest ancient building in Pingle County and Guilin at present, with a total height of seven stories. How to call Guangxi No.1 Pawnshop? Sand is a thousand-year-old town, which flourished as early as the Tang Dynasty. Merchants and people from neighboring counties, Guangdong and Hunan came to the ancient town through Chajiang and Gui Jiang, and merchants gathered during the day. Yu Fusheng is also from Guangdong. He invested in setting up a pawnshop because he took a fancy to Sha's superior geographical position. It can be said that this pawnshop is also a witness to the economic prosperity of Shagu Town.

Four. Xing' an ancient town

Xing 'an Ancient Town is also one of the four ancient towns in Guilin. Due to the special geographical location at the turn of Chu-Yue, it has been the meeting point of Central Plains Han culture and Lingnan Baiyue culture since ancient times. Especially after the Lingqu was completed, it became an important link connecting the Central Plains and Lingnan, and played an immeasurable role in promoting the political, economic and cultural exchanges and integration between the Central Plains and Lingnan. Xing 'an, this magical land, has accumulated a profound historical and cultural heritage.

Throughout the ages, countless major historical events have taken place in this land of Xing 'an, and epic historical dramas have been staged. Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan from here, and the Red Army turned the corner here. Xing 'an can be called "the capital of economic governance" and "the capital of prosperity and security".

The ancient town of Xing 'an actually refers to a section of waterway where Lingqu, a famous ancient canal, passes through Xing 'an County. There are many ancient markets, houses and pavilions along the waterway. Now this waterway is called "Water Street", so Lingqu, Water Street and Qin Cheng constitute all the essence of Xing 'an ancient town.

Xing 'an Ancient Town was selected as "Top Ten Charming Ancient Towns in China in 2005" by CCTV, which made Xing 'an Ancient Town famous. Due to the historical precipitation of the ancient town, it is also one of the four ancient towns in Guilin.

First, Dawei ancient town; Second, Xingping Ancient Town; 3. Welfare Ancient Town; Fourth, the ancient town of Xing 'an. Dawei ancient town:

In the early Ming Dynasty, Jie Jin said, "Lutian Temple on the Daxu River is surrounded by thousands of bamboo ponds." In the morning, after Liu Dian accumulated his salary, the servants went home with lotus leaves wrapped in salt.

The area is bounded by Lijiang River in the west, Xiaohebei and Tongzi Mountain in the north and Lion Mountain, Wuzhishan and Tianshuizhai in Guxiping County in the southeast, with an area of 4.5 hectares. The ancient bridges, ferries, pavilions, theatres, temples, villages, ancient trees and village buildings here have completely maintained the original historical environment, and you can still experience the interest of "the old street is long and Gu Xiang is deep" when you are there.

Including: three squares and one wall, four entrances and five patios, one entrance and several courtyards. Known by architectural experts as: residential museum. These buildings fully show the aesthetic interest of Naxi people in conforming to and respecting nature.

The ancient city of Pingyao, along the "horse road" where Bing Gu boarded the city, climbed up the city wall and had a bird's eye view around the Pingyao city wall, which was really amazing. The city wall has six gates, one in the north and the other in the south, which are the starting point and the end point of turtle city; There are two in the east and two in the west. They are the Turtle City brothers. The total perimeter of the city wall is 6 157.7m, and the whole city wall is square. The height of the city wall is about 10 meter.

The food here is not only local, but also many snacks from other places.

For example, yuanjiacun, like Xi 'an, is a small town built completely out of thin air.

Pingyao's long history can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. This ancient city retains the buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking on such a street, stepping on the bricks here, you can travel through history in minutes. This is the greatest charm of Pingyao!
