Xianyang City is located in the middle of Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province, both in Shan Zhinan of the Ninth Army and in the north of Weishui, hence the name Xianyang. The ancient crossing in Xianyang, the Weihe River ferry in ancient Xianyang, is known as one of the "eight scenic spots in Guanzhong". Weihe River flows through the south side of Xianyang City, and the water potential is slow. Since ancient times, the central plains region has crossed the Guanzhong from northwest to southwest, and it is here that it crosses the Weihe River. Xianyang became the transportation hub from Yangguan in the west, Xiaoguan in the north, Chang 'an in the east and the Central Plains, which was the biggest pass of the Qin Dynasty. After more than two thousand years of Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, the ancient ferry and the wooden bridge and stone bridge built in previous dynasties set each other off as an interest, complemented each other and accompanied each other. Especially during the Han and Tang Dynasties, the ancient capital was actually a bridgehead on the Silk Road. Thousands of years passed, and by the Ming Dynasty, the former ferry had long since disappeared. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the ferry was rebuilt in the southeast of Xianyang City. At that time, stone berms and docks were built. There are sailboats and boats as pontoons, crossing the bridge in winter and spring, boating in summer and autumn, and people come and go, which is a busy scene. I once saw a photo of the ancient crossing in Xianyang taken by a German in Qing Dynasty on the Internet, and the scene was just as described above.
"Xianyang Ancient Crossing" is not only noisy day and night, but also prosperous and pleasant. Someone praised: "There are a constant stream of guests who come and go for fame and fortune, selling boats in general and fishing boats leisurely." Black eels, red carp, floating and sinking in the green water, egrets and bluebirds appear on the smoke waves. The woodcutter went to the sheep's intestines and the shepherd boy came back. Singing and weeding, singing and picking lotus. The spirit of infinitely helping the poet is for a scene. " Zhu Jiyi, a poet in A Qing, wrote in the poem "The Ancient Crossing Never Ended": "The sky crosses the middle stream in one color, like a snow reed full of boats. Where is the squire on the river, the smoke is still in autumn. " Xianyang ancient ferry has gone through thousands of years, and the scenery of the former ferry has long since disappeared. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, four modern highway bridges, such as xian yangqiao, Qindou Bridge and Weicheng Bridge, as well as several railway and expressway bridges, have been built on the Weihe River in the urban area, and the ancient crossing has been hard to find. As the ancient capital of Chinese civilization, tourists who come to Xianyang now often go to the ruins of the ancient capital to express their nostalgia.
