On the city wall of the ancient city of Xi'an, Zhao Huina just explained the history of the Xi'an city wall to her customers, and tourists had three hours to play on the city wall. This time, she organized a trip from Xi'an to the Hexi Corridor "Tribute to the Hexi Corridor". Although she is also a travel team, Zhao Huina wanted to make her travel plans and products different from others from the beginning of the company. There had been a quarrel between Li Xiaoli in Tongzhou and Li Xiaoli who had seen her, because she told Li Xiaoli that she was preparing a Grand Canal travel series, "along the canal to pursue the life of the canal city".
Li Xiaoli smiled and said to her: Isn't this still a travel agency?
Zhao Huina said without anger at that time: What jokes are the travel agencies, what do you think my company is. Take a little red flag and wear a little red hat, organize a group of people I call my uncle and aunt to a place to give people only 30 minutes of visiting time, and have to tell people where the toilet is, and visit the next attraction car.
Now the real estate market in the country is not good, and after the last separation, I don't know how Li Xiaoli has been doing recently, because of her friend, because of the Xi'an city wall at her feet, she also remembers her hometown.
Xuanhua Ancient City is big enough, if you search for the top ten ancient city walls in China, there is no Xuanhua. But you'll see Xi'an's 13.7-kilometer wall length, while Xuanhua's city wall was once 12 kilometers long, chasing Xi'an. In the ancient city walls of the Ming and Qing dynasties, in addition to Beijing, Nanjing, which is not much more than Xuanhua, of course, these are only in the historical records we know, just like Zhao Huina can only recall her hometown from the Xi'an city wall at her feet.
In the 27th year of Ming Hongwu, when Xuanhua was expanded on a large scale, the city had seven gates, namely the GongjiLou Xuande Cheng'an in the south city, the Anding Gate in the east city, the Daxin Gate in the west city, and the Guangling Gate in the north. Only the South Gate (Changping Gate) shows people the history of Xuanhua and witnesses the growth of Xuanhua's children. In 2005, the New Gate of Ximen was rebuilt, which also gave Xuanhua a more imposing side.
Zhao Huina's team will definitely go to the Drum Tower in Xi'an next, and she will continue to reminisce about her hometown. There are also drum towers on the central axis of Xuanhua City, which were built in the Ming Dynasty and Gongji Lou Zhenshuo Lou three points and one line, which is also one of the few historical buildings preserved in Xuanhua for people to see and study.
Gongji Tower: During the Yongle period, more than 600 years of history, it used to be called Changping Gate, and was rebuilt and renamed Gongji Tower during the Qing Dynasty, which means the meaning of arching and defending the capital.
Zhenshuo Tower (Drum Tower): A plaque hangs on the upper floor with the Qianlong Emperor's imperial pen "Shenjing Pinghan", and there is a large drum in the building that commands the soldiers.
Qingyuan Building: The surface seems to be three floors, but in fact there are two floors, in addition to the building itself, the ten thousand pounds of bells suspended on the second floor, made of copper as a material, poured, once the bell rings thick and long.
Every bell and drum ringing in this city is an echo of history, and also tells people that history here was once a veritable "military city", the Ming Dynasty has 1 million troops perennial, the Great Wall Nine Towns Chen Bing 700,000, the head of the Nine Towns Xuanhua reached 150,000, accounting for more than one-fifth.
Like Chang'an, the history of Xuanhua is also its proudest place, the pre-Qin period has been set up here, "Shanggu County" Although its name has been changing in the course of a thousand years of history, "Shanggu" is still the most important coordinate in the history of Xuanhua.
But I prefer the streets here, naming streets in direction is usually an ancient practice, and larger cities often add a big character in front of the streets, such as Xi'an's West Street East Street, Xuanhua is also very large, so there is a big North Street South Street West Street. And the memories of childhood Gusheng Bridge, Yisheng Palace, Xiaodongmen, And East Wall Chenggen are the most grounded and historical names in our hearts. Behind these names were once bustling commerce, and the streets also left the imprint of history for the ancient Xuanhua, carrying a glorious past and a beautiful tomorrow.
It is a witness and a talker.
This is the circle of friends I saw my friend Zhao Huina sent in Xi'an, although I did not ask her, I can think that when she stands on the xi'an city wall, she will definitely think of her hometown, and I wrote this text about her hometown through her circle of friends. Xuanhua and Xi'an are both historical and cultural cities, but xi'an can not be compared with the same, I hope that friends in Xi'an will see not to misunderstand, this is just a kind of commemoration of his hometown and friends in his own way, just like Xi'an in my heart has always been the beginning of all travel stories, I have done so, and Chang'an is also the end of all travel stories.
I think that no matter where in the country Xuanhua people, like my friends, will have a hometown that they can't go back to, and they are in the square under the South Gate, and the laughter reminds me of my flowers, quietly opening in every corner of my life.
