Ciqikou is named for producing porcelain. 19 18, local businessmen raised funds to establish "Shu Porcelain Factory" in Qingcaopo. Porcelain has good quality, many varieties and growing fame, and its products are exported to both inside and outside the province. Gradually, the name "Ciqikou" replaced "Long Yin Town". More than 20 ancient kiln sites have been discovered.
Ciqikou ancient town, according to the old people's narratives, there used to be "three more" in the ancient town: many temples, many celebrities' footprints and many teahouses. In Ciqikou, almost everyone knows the saying of "Nine Palaces and Eighteen Halls", including Baolun Temple, Genting Temple, Fuyuan Temple and Wenchang Palace. Walking in the alley, as long as you find broken walls and ask the residents, you will get the answer: "This used to be a temple." There used to be incense parties, temple fairs and flower parties, as well as dragon lanterns in the first month, clear kites, dragon boats in the Dragon Boat Festival, river lanterns in July, moon viewing in the Mid-Autumn Festival and climbing Chongyang Mountain all year round. There is a saying among the common people: "On the fifteenth day of the first month, the temple gate opens. Please come in and burn incense and worship Buddha. " Only the Baolun Temple, which was built in the early Tang Dynasty, has been preserved so far and is relatively complete. The words "Made in Weichi Gong" are engraved on the main beam of Ursa Major Hall. The scope of the temple is large, from Daxiong Hall to Maanshan, and then to Tongjiaqiao, all within the scope of Baolun Temple. Temples and temples built everywhere are magnificent. There are more than 300 monks with strong incense. This temple was destroyed in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. When Zhang entered Sichuan, he almost burned down the temple, leaving only the Hall of the Great Hero. After that, Sichuan Daxiong Hall, Guanyin Pavilion, Tianwang Hall and Zen Room were built. The pillars of the Ursa Major Hall are mulberry trees folded by two people, while the pillars of other halls are only one foot in diameter. However, the internal and external structures of the Hall are all wood structures, without a nail. Two piles in the temple are engraved with panlong columns, which are lifelike. The strangest thing is that there are two pillars, one protruding a few feet from the ground and the other recessed a few inches, but the two pillars are balanced and lasted for thousands of years, and the whole hall is not skewed at all. It's really a skillful craftsman. The well in front of the Buddha statue in Daxiong Hall leads to the "Nine Stone Tanks" on the Jialing River. Someone once threw a duck into a well and found it in the "Nine Stone Tanks" afterwards. This well is usually covered with stone drums. What makes this thousand-year-old town more colorful is that many famous people have been to ciqikou ancient town, and many of them have become fond memories of the old people. According to legend, in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's emperor Sun was usurped by his fourth uncle and sent to Chongqing to become a monk and live in seclusion in Baolun Temple. There are four characters "Long Yin Temple" on the wall of Tianwang Temple. Therefore, the original "Baiyan Town" was renamed as "Long Yin Town".
The most distinctive scene in ciqikou ancient town is the teahouse. In the past, teahouses were everywhere in this thousand-year-old town. At that time, sailors, uncle Paoge and others liked to come and go here, and the teahouse became a mixed place of dragons and snakes. During the capital period, there were more than 100 teahouses in this small town. Its characteristic is the "Bookstore Teahouse", also known as the Artist Teahouse, which is a place to taste tea and folk art. There are many kinds of plays in the Bookstore: Sichuan Opera Sitting Singing (beating gongs and drums), Sichuan Yin Qing, Sichuan Zhu Qin (dulcimer) and Lotus Leaf Cantata, which are more common in the storytelling teahouse. The teahouse is crowded with people in an endless stream. Newsboy selling newspapers: the cries of' selling newspapers, selling newspapers' are endless. Girl's sister-in-law: "Porcelain mouth sells melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, salted peanuts!" " "The sound is crisp and loud. Especially those who can tell stories on stage in teahouses at night are all top-grade experts, so people call them "Pinsendai" and they are all listed as storytellers. Whoever can win more tea customers will get a "red envelope". Which storyteller speaks well, the teahouse business will be more prosperous, the boss will naturally be happy, and the storyteller will get a thicker red envelope. Until now, the teahouse is still a scene of Ciqikou. There are 13 teahouses in Baimi Old Street, and each teahouse is full, and the ancient style still exists. The famous snacks Maoxuewang, soft stewed thousand slices and salted peanuts are known as the "three treasures" of Ciqikou.
Personnel have ups and downs, and mountains and rivers have vicissitudes.
Ciqikou, after a long victory, has been neglected since 1958 wharf moved to Hanyu Road. Ciqikou's function as a distribution center and transit station for land and water terminals has gradually disappeared. It is said that in order to preserve this rich historical and cultural relic, it is planned to cultivate and restore the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties for development, so it is not far away for the ancient town to regain its glory.
Gongtan is one of the famous dangerous beaches in Wujiang River Basin. Located in the west of Youyang, Chongqing, bordering Yanhe County, Guizhou. According to historical records, this beach was formed because of the flash floods in Youyang during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1573), the rocks in Fenghuang Mountain collapsed and the Wujiang River was blocked. On the west bank of Gongtan, there are towering rocks, reaching into the sky, birds singing and apes singing, and dense ancient trees. The famous barbarian king Cave is among them. The east coast has a gentle slope, and Gongtan Ancient Town is located on it. Tujia Diaojiao Building is built on the mountain. The road winds upward, and there are many ancient buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties in the town, among which Sichuan main temple and Sanjiao temple are more famous. There are many historical sites, and the original appearance still exists. Among them, there are monuments that don't touch the world or touch the ground, and monuments that are carved in reverse, as well as the "first pass" double-hook inscription monument in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, which has been well preserved so far. There are also square wells in the Song Dynasty, skyscraper stone pillars, Yigou 13 Bridge, and Gongtan Dashi Arch Bridge, which was once the world's first in the 1950s, adding a lot of colors here.
Why is it named "Gongtan"?
Some people say that it is because there are many people named Gong on the east bank of this beach, and they are all famous families, so they are named Gong Tan. It is also said that there were not many Gong people here in the past and now. Obviously, Gong Tan is not named after his surname, but has another explanation for the word "Gong". They all say "Gong is great". Gongtan is a big beach. This statement, according to the classics, seems untenable.
Some people say that Gong Tan's name has a long history. A clan leader named * * * took refuge and fled, and settled in the Wujiang Mountain area at the border of Yelang and Guizhou. In order to avoid revealing his aristocratic status, he changed his name to "Gong", which means that "all descendants of * * * * are descendants of dragons." Gong lives next to Wujiang Beach, so it is called Gong Beach. It is also difficult to judge whether this statement is correct.
There is also a folk saying that Wujiang River and Apeng River were cut by two dragons, one big and one small. Wujiang River is the route of Oolong, and Oolong is fierce. It moves from northeast Guizhou to southeast Sichuan (now Chongqing), and it takes a long way to reach the border between Sichuan and Guizhou. Apeng River is the direction of Along. Aaron is small and weak. He walked not far from the southeast of Sichuan and joined Oolong at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou. After the two dragons met, they joined forces to cross the canyon at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, forming a steep rapids. People call it "Gong Tuan", also known as "Gong Tan". It means that this dangerous beach was opened by two dragons. This legend casts a mysterious color on the origin of Gong Tan's name.
In ancient times, Gongtan was the throat leading to Wuxi and Yelang, and it was a military stronghold. Now it is the artery and link of waterway transportation in Chongqing and Guizhou provinces. The ancient town of Gongtan above Gongtan has always been an important port where thousands of businessmen gather. In ancient times, it was an important transshipment station for Sichuan salt. Now land and water transportation is more developed, vehicles and boats are intertwined, and all walks of life are thriving. The ancient town has taken on a brand-new look and has become a bright pearl at the junction of Chongqing and Guizhou in the Party generation.
Located on the western edge of Youxi; Ju 'apeng River is connected to Wujiang River in the north and faces Guizhou Province across Wujiang River. One day hundreds of years ago, the Xijiang River suddenly collapsed, rocks flew about, and huge stones rumbled into the river. The rolling Wujiang River broke the shore for a while, broke the rocks and penetrated the clouds for a while, and the thousands of miles of waterways were cut off in an instant. Pieces of stones, piles of reefs are dense. On the two-kilometer-long river, a beach with white waves and ferocious reefs has been formed. This is Gongtan. The two most famous wonders of Gongtan ancient town are Diaojiaolou and Qingshiban Street. Gongtan Diaojiao Building was built from the Southern Song Dynasty to 1963, many of which have experienced the vicissitudes of Wujiang River, and many of them have a history of more than 100 years. Its durability is comparable to that of modern architecture. The diaojiao building in the ancient town also contains the flavor of art and culture, such as the Weaver Girl Building on Niulang Mountain in the west, the multi-ton Yuanyang Building and the pavilions-like embroidered building. No wonder the famous painter Wu Guanzhong used "Qionglou Yuyu" to admire when he visited here.
Another miracle in Gongtan Town is a bluestone road, an old street two kilometers long, all paved with bluestones. The bluestone age is very old. Year after year, barefoot, straw shoes, cloth shoes, rubber shoes and leather shoes have been polished smoothly. Qingshiban Street is actually sitting, feasible, and can be done without worrying about dust. Walking on this quiet stone road, you should encounter flying eaves and jagged teeth along the street, including a "square well" with cliff stone carvings as the "first pass", which has a history of more than 700 years. A sense of historical regression and the infiltration of traditional culture have thus emerged. According to experts' research, this stone street is the most complete stone street along the Yangtze River and has great ornamental value. No wonder CCTV and Chongqing TV have come here to take photos many times. I can't help but think of Bai Juyi's poem "April, the beauty of the world is exhausted, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple." He often hates Chunchun because he has nowhere to find, so he doesn't know who to turn to for help.
"Located between the two remaining veins in the southwest of Huaying Mountain Range" is located in the hilly area, showing a trend of high in the northeast and low in the southwest. The average altitude is 52 meters and the highest is 942.9 meters. In the Qing Dynasty, it belonged to Liu Jia in the ceremony of Jiangbei Hall. Twenty-four years in Qianlong and nine years in Menmen. It was built here as a town. Because there are steep rock walls in the north of the town, it is named Pianyan Town.
This town is an ancient industrial and commercial town on the ancient road from Chongqing to Huaying. In the past, merchants gathered and prospered, and they were famous for their Sichuan-Shaanxi-Huguang. Although hundreds of years have passed, its streets, buildings, folk customs and market conditions still retain its quaint and elegant features. The ancient town is built by mountains and water, and stands outside the town. From a distance, you can see that the brick houses of the wooden house are distributed along the mountain, overlapping and patchwork. A winding Heishuitan River closely surrounds the ancient town. The slowly flowing river is crystal clear, and the tall and thick yellow barrel trees on the shore are dense. These century-old trees are intertwined and have many branches and leaves. They are covered by a huge umbrella, which covers the back door of small houses built by water. Between them, there is a small stone ladder connected to the river beach for people to get water and wash starch ... A long bluestone bridge crosses the water and connects the passage outside the town. The ancient town is full of the beauty of tranquility, which is quite poetic. The main street of the ancient town is paved with bluestone, which is about 400 meters long along Heishuitan River. The shops on both sides of the street are smaller than those in the forest. Shops are mostly wood and bamboo structures, with wooden barrels as the skeleton, wooden boards as the walls, or bamboo fence paste as the walls. Most of the roofs are hard hilltops or overhanging hilltops, and the walls in Vasu give people a fresh and simple atmosphere. Some small buildings built on the street have open ground floor space and are mostly shops. The upper-level residence is a diaojiao building, which is built by hanging columns, which not only saves the street pavement, but also achieves the design effect of "giving three feet to the ground and making more space". The flower windows and railings before hair are quaint and interesting. The flower window is decorated with geometric patterns or flower and fruit patterns, which can be seen at a glance; Looking from the railing, you can see the Stone Buddha Temple in the east, longxing temple in the west, Xiangshui Temple in the south, Emperor Temple in the north and mountains and rivers in the distance. In the middle of the old street, a wooden building named Jiuhe Stack stands out. This building rises from the ground and stands out among the houses in the ancient town. The building is three stories high, the lobby on the ground floor is open, the stairs lead to the patio-like nave, there are cloisters and pavilions in front of the nave, and escalators on the left and right lead to the next floor. The flower windows and railings of the pavilion are decorated with wood carvings, and the decorative patterns are exquisite and unique, gorgeous and rich. Turning the street, the space is high and wide, which is the public gathering place of the ancient town-Wang Yu Temple and the stage. Wang Yu Temple is a lobby-style building with vertical wooden barrels, gray tiles and white walls, which is simple and elegant. Yu's trump card and statue were provided in the hall. In front of Yu Palace, there is an antique stage. The upper part of the stage is open, and the surrounding beams and columns are decorated with beautifully carved ancient opera patterns. Under the stage, there is a dark floor for handyman to use. On holidays, neighbors and businesses will gather here to watch the play and have a good time.
