Shizhou simplified system originated in the later Zhou Dynasty. The previous generation also set up officials in this area, but only in the county-level administrative units under the jurisdiction of Wushan, Sichuan, Yuanling, Hunan and Jingzhou, Hubei. Since last week, local "state" level units have been established, which govern "counties" and "counties" and are inherited by future generations. With the establishment of Shizhou, it has gradually become an important town in the border region of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou. The Qing Dynasty's "Taiping Magnolia" contained: "In the second year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the toast attached Zou and established Shizhou." The second year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was in 573 AD. According to "Enshi County Records", "At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Hang Seng claimed to be the king in the wild, built a city to supervise the water, and his descendants attacked the king. It was only in the following week (AD 56 1) that Baoding was razed. It is the room for Shi Wangtun to set up Shizhou with his land. " Shiwangtun, also known as Man Zi Wangcun, is located in Wadianzi, 2 kilometers west of Enshi City. It is located in the middle of a mountain dam, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a water outlet in the west. The mountain is like a knife, and its two phases are inclined, and its shape is like opening a city wall. Since the 1960s, a large number of porcelain, pottery and ironware have been unearthed. During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the names of dynasties changed. In the Song Dynasty, the establishment of counties and counties combined with the creation of a earthen city, and the Yuan Dynasty remained the same. After 1000 years, Enshi has gradually formed its position as the political, economic and cultural center of southwest Hubei.

In May, the third year of Chunyou in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1243), Gengzi built more than 60 earthen towns and passes in Zhaoshifu, whose addresses are now ivory mountain and Ruishiyan, because there are many mountains. In the early years of Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1259), the county magistrate Xie Changyuan moved to Liuzhou. "Enshi County Records" contains: "Xie Changyuan opened Shizhou in April of Qingyuan year, brought his own money, grain and wheat, built a county town, and transferred officials." Yuan Shizu moved to the original site in the 13th year of Zhiyuan (1276). According to legend, when moving to the state site, the soil of Enshi City, Dalongtan City and Liuzhou City was weighed and compared. As a result, Enshi City has the heaviest soil and Linqing River, so it is decided to move back to its current site.

There are many preserved sites in Liuzhou. There are many in the city. The names of many peaks, rocks and ditches in the city still have the pattern of the old Shizhou City. Such as: Beimengou, Nanmencao, Jiangjunyan, Xuanwu Peak and Suzaku Peak. There are many rocks here, which the locals call elegant. For example, the lion grabs the treasure, the dragon plays with pearls, pulls back from the cliff, the morning phoenix, the deer, the comb rock and the eagle rock. At present, the city wall, Yinmachi, yuntaiguan, Pagoda, Xiaoluba, Diantai on the top of the mountain and the former site of the east gate can still be identified. There are county cliffs in the northeast to form their own city walls, and more artificial city walls are preserved in the southwest, and the city walls are still preserved. There is a circular base on the desk, and there are a lot of plain tiles on the desk. There is also an iron pillar in the Yangba of the school, which is said to be a horse stake next to the martial arts school. There are two temples in this city. Yuntaiguan has five halls and seven halls, with more than 60 large and small Buddha statues. There are hexagonal pavilions, theaters and stands in front of the hall. , and columns are connected with "white clouds, snow, earth, jade, bamboo and pine all over the old city". Yuntaiguan was demolished near 1956. Today, Wang Shouxiang, a retired teacher from Enshi No.2 Middle School, is from Tianchiling, Liuzhou City. When I was a child, I went to yuntaiguan with Shushan (a monk in a temple). The day I went, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather was fine. I saw about 300 pilgrims sitting in front of a stone table and watching "People's Play"-"Autumn Colors in the Han Palace". After yuntaiguan, there is a rock called Da 'eryan, and there is an ancient trough under the rock. After making a wish in the temple, the beggar went to the temple to pick up stones and throw them into the stone trough. If they achieve it, they think the wish is valid and they can have children. How many points do you think you can get by smashing a few stones? The nun temple is built in Tianchiling (also known as Tianzhu Mountain), which is a quadrangle-style temple. The West Building is a nun's room, the East Hall is dedicated to more than 20 Buddha statues, and the West Chamber is a place for pilgrims to rest. Between the gongs and drums next to the original temple, there is a stone tablet named "Rebuilding the Nun Temple" in Xuan Tong period of Qing Dynasty, which has been missing for many years since the temple was destroyed. 1985, Wang Shouxiang found it on the wall of a farmer's house. The inscription * * * has more than 300 words, describing the rolling mountains and pure mountain springs of Tianchi Mountain and Liuzhou City, and recording Li's charity in building buddhist nun here the year before and the process of local people donating money to rebuild buddhist nun in Qing Dynasty. Demolition of nun temple 1948.

At the gate of the south gate, there is a stone tablet that is "getting better". Outside the south gate, there is an inscription by Mo Yan. The inscription reads: "Song Xianchun, Bing Yin (that is, A.D. 1266), the county commander Zhang Pingxian, paved this road for service." Explains the state of the city. "Enshi County Records" contains: "Zhang Baochen, Xianchun first knows the state and opens up a dangerous road, which is feasible for everyone." It's a piece, not a word or a number. Located in Ertaiping, Zhoucheng Village, the Watermelon Monument is carved from natural sandstone, with a height of 4m, a width of 3.5m and a thickness of 3m. The engraved frame is1.49m high and1.85m wide. The full text is as follows:

General Qin came to this mulberry garden, built a lotus pond, set up a reception pavilion and planted watermelons. There are four kinds of watermelons, one is yuntou cicada melon, and the other is superior watermelon, called imperial watermelon. These three kinds of watermelons have been planted in Huainan for more than 80 years, and one kind of returning melon grew from the northwest tour of Gengzijia, and several kinds of melon-pointed melons have been planted here for 5 years. They are prolific and delicious in the county. They are also carved in rural valleys, and their melons are all.

□ Apollo keeps it in mind.

Enshi Autonomous Prefecture, located in the west of Hubei Province, today, watermelon cultivation is only a small part of this area, and there are few historical records. In the local chronicles compiled by Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou and other counties in the Qing Dynasty, there is not a record of watermelon. Only in the seventh year of the Republic of China (AD 19 18) did the Archaeological Records of Shizhou written by Juan Yongxi record this inscription information about the history of watermelon planting. After liberation, cultural workers in Enshi City conducted many investigations on the watermelon monument and found that the monument was well preserved. It is not only of great significance to the study of the history of melon and fruit planting in the mountainous area of southwest Hubei, but also the earliest and most complete watermelon inscription in southwest Hubei, Hubei Province and even the whole country, which clearly records the types, planting methods and introduction routes of watermelon. 1988, after the publication of Agricultural Archaeology, the article A Brief Examination of Watermelon Planting History in Southwest Hubei written by Deng Hui, curator of Enshi Museum, was translated into Japanese by China Today on 1990. During the period of 1997, dozens of newspapers and periodicals such as People's Daily Overseas Edition, Legal Daily, Science and Technology Daily, Wenhui Daily, China Heritage Daily and Hubei Daily successively published and reprinted the article "Enshi Watermelon Monument in Southern Song Dynasty" written by Quanping, Propaganda Department of Enshi Municipal Committee, which once again attracted the attention of experts and scholars at home and abroad and leaders of party committees and governments at all levels.

General Qin mentioned in the inscription should be around 1270. General Cemetery was originally built in this city. It was abandoned when Dongfeng Reservoir was built in 1950s. According to Xianfeng's Qin Family Tree, the original family lived in Enshi Yishan and moved to Xianfeng in the Yuan Dynasty. The general's cemetery, Qin of Chair Mountain, is his ancestor. Qin and homophony.

Stone carving is located in Tiantong Cave, which is away from Qizhen 1 km, and adjacent to Enshi Public Security Bureau Automobile Driving Training School and Qili Township Central Primary School. Tiantong Cave is a large natural limestone cave, east-west, shaped like an open toad mouth. The hole is semicircular, about 30 meters high and 40 meters wide. Because there is a hole with a diameter of about 2 meters at the top of the cave, you can see the sky, so it is named Tiantong Cave. "Enshi County Records" contains: "Tiantong Cave is in the east of the city 10. Its caves are spacious, with caves in the sky, fields, doting and ancient monuments. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, there were many questions, that is, Mu Yanxian Cave. " Shen Qing, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem: "Win the day to find fragrance, and the hole in the mountain is wide. Peach trees are ancient, and running water is cold. Fire should fill Fu Dan, and clouds should condense along the pot. God knows there is a way, that is, this is crossing qingluan. " The poet Liu Zili also wrote a poem: "I know everything about Xiaotian, and I opened a door to the immortals. Then the elixir hangs bell milk, and the jade grains collect the waste stone field. The broken couch awakened Lu's dream, and the broken tablet was still remembered until the first year. Tourism seems to be looking for tourists, and the peach blossoms in the cave. " Tian Tong caves have unique shapes, just like hand carving. There are two sub-holes at the bottom of the cave, which can be entered. On the left side of the cave, there is a clear spring spewing out, and the trickle spring does not dry up for many years. Whenever the sun is at the top at noon, the sunlight passes through the hole in the cave, forming a large beam of light, which directly hits the fields in the cave, which is very spectacular. There are many inscriptions and poems in the original cave since the Song Dynasty, but they have been abandoned. Today, there is only one tablet bearing the grand scene of the first year of Baodu (A.D. 1253), the county magistrate Wang Zichou visited the cave. Peng Rentan, a poet in Qing Dynasty, also mentioned this point in his poem "Fairy Cave in Mulou": "Fairy Cave in Mulou is more than seven miles east of the city. In the first year of Song Baoyu, the king of Qingjiang County took part in the marriage and took his assistant on a tour, saying that' the abode of fairies and immortals is strange but not human'. " Now the inscription is 80 cm long and 60 cm wide. The inscription is ***89 words:

In the first year of Baodou, he was a satrap in Tongchuan, Guichou County, and was a pro-tour in Mubi Xianren Cave. He was engaged in a cave trip to Chongqing Jiaoqing Jiangnan Qingyang Facao oak Meishan Cai. Strangely enough, the 80-year-old human life flies, and the audience pays attention to Mo Chun for ten days.

In Ertaiping, where the watermelon monument is located, the remains of Zhoucheng pig farm, a modern cultural relic, are still preserved, and there is also a large pond for raising pigs, with an area of about 400 square meters. What is particularly precious is that the stone gate of the pig farm is well preserved, and the word "Agricultural Dazhai" is engraved on the arch. Stone pillars on both sides are engraved with "grain as the key link, all-round development" and "self-reliance, hard struggle,1April 8, 975". A square stone tablet is carved next to the stone gate, which reads "quotations from Chairman Mao: the pig industry should develop greatly."

In the vicinity of Liuzhou, there are also important cultural relics such as Zhaigou Cliff Tomb in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Huangshi Tomb in Yangqueba in Qing Dynasty, Hongxian Tomb in the first year of Huolongxi. According to the Records of Enshi County, Qingjiang County is ten miles east of Acropolis and Magongquan, and the former site of Jujiang County should also be in Tongtiandong area.
