Coaster sped past the Qianwei Minjiang Special Bridge, and the mountains and rivers of Luocheng plunged into our eyes.
Just after the sting, it was when the warm wind blew tourists drunk, and the Nanxi District Historical Research Society of Yibin City organized members to visit, study and collect wind activities, and walked into Qianwei and Luocheng County and a town. The leaders of the organization and the organization thought carefully and skillfully, with the stone of his mountain, broadened the vision of the members; in the process of visiting and studying, sibi's hometown history and soaked up the essence of their own family; and wrote books on the album to achieve the purpose of thick Nanxi history and culture.
Luocheng, located in the northeast of Qianwei County, the main street of the ancient town is called "Liangdian Street". At the beginning of the construction, it was consciously built according to the ship-shaped design, with an east-west length and a north-south short. With a length of about 209 meters and a width of about 9.5 meters, the long rows of old tile houses with wooden structures on both sides of the street and the eaves on the side of the street are unusually wide, forming a rare corridor called "Cool Hall".
Tracing the origin of Luocheng Ancient Town, the data records that it was "founded in the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1628) and formed in the Qing Dynasty". According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a large banyan tree in Luocheng Town, and in the two huts under the tree lived a family surnamed Ou, whose original intention was to provide a "cattle exchange" venue for the people of Luocheng, and as a result, it developed into a boom in the trade of salt, iron, cloth, rice, oil and other goods and goods, which not only became a material distribution center to the outer port, but also a place where the Ming and Qing dynasties of tun soldiers "controlled Yi". Some ming and Qing dynasty buildings have been preserved to this day, such as Chuanzu Temple and Lingguan Temple.
Luocheng Ancient Town has a high value for cultural relics protection, especially the unique shape of the "boat-shaped street", and the cultural relics protection is relatively complete. In 1992, Luocheng Ancient Town was approved as "Provincial Cultural Town" by the Sichuan Provincial People's Government; in 2007, it was named "Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit" by the Sichuan Provincial People's Government; in 2010, it was named "the first batch of historical and cultural streets in Sichuan Province", and as the "only ancient town in the province, it participated in the Shanghai World Expo Small Town Exhibition".
Why did the Luocheng people build the town in the shape of a ship?
Luocheng Ancient Town is located on the top of the mountain, in the old times, Luocheng because of the lack of water, resulting in many old people with family and country feelings of worrying about the country and the people. One day, a show from out of town saw the local old man sighing, and before leaving, he also wanted to drink the tea in the teacup, so he inquired about the reason. The old man sighed: "There is a shortage of water in this town!" This show touched the scene, pondered for a long time, and read out four sentences of tips: Luocheng dry wharf, merchants are difficult to stay for a long time. If there is no shortage of water, Luocheng built a boat.
Boat, is the main tool of water transportation, Luocheng people donated funds to build a "boat-shaped street", in addition to expressing the meaning of "the will of all to become a city", "pray for the good wishes of the sky to rain", etc., what is not the Luocheng people's ardent vision of water culture, hoping to "water abundance and carry boats", boats pass and trade prosperity, people's feelings!
Thus, we see the opening meaning of "Luo Chengfu": a boat, moored on the top of the mountain...
The yearning for the passage and the worship of water are all sincere.
After visiting, I thought about it and couldn't help but chant:
The pier sighs and builds the shuttle,
Generations of ghostly dreams of the great river.
Pray that the iron mountain will grow like water,
Flying gulls and herons can be fishing songs.

The Qianwei Temple of Literature was built in the Northern Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the fourth year of Ming Hongwu, with a history of more than 600 years, ranking fourth in the country and first in Sichuan.
After lunch, we visited the Temple of Literature, breathing in the aura of Confucian thought under the wind and sun, and collecting the exquisite breeze of ancient architecture.
Before coming to the Temple of Literature, the first thing to do is to be attracted by its magnificent ancient architecture. Its "Dacheng Gate" roof "BoFeijiao Triple Eaves" construction style reminds me of the YuWang Palace in my hometown - the gate of the Yuanchuan Opera Troupe. Although the ancient building in my hometown is far from the "atmosphere" of the Temple of Literature in front of me, it seems that it cannot be compared, "the same day and language", but as one of the representative buildings in the history of Nanxi, the Qing Dynasty YuWang Palace (rumored to be built by carpenters), the most distinctive "Ruyi Dou Arch", should not also belong to the category of fine craftsmanship? Isn't it also of great value for cultural relics protection?
Unfortunately, "in May 1953, the Prefectural River Opera Troupe used the Yuwang Palace as a fixed performance venue. In 1954, it was renovated into a theater with pairs of seats" (1992 edition of "Nanxi County Chronicle") ... If it still exists today, if it is constantly protected and repaired, will it not also add a strong "ancient meaning" and a witness to the thick history of the county town?
Of course, these ideas are just fleeting, but visiting, learning, Sibi, etc., is also our theme this time!
For example, the Temple of Literature in front of you is a collection of materialized Confucian thought, Confucian etiquette, and important historical materials of ancient education. It is an ancient architectural complex with traditional local cultural characteristics composed of temples, squares and pavilions, which not only has a thick and long-standing historical origin, but also has a very important historical value, but also is a collection of material cultural heritage to learn and understand ancient civilization and intangible cultural heritage, and to integrate the material and event inheritance and spiritual ties of tangible cultural heritage.
Nanxi also has a Temple of Literature (construction date unknown), addressed outside the Fengxiang Gate, in the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), the 'Boys' Department of Nanxi Junior High School was separated from the Temple of Literature" (1992 edition of "Nanxi County Chronicle"). According to the memories of the old people, the Nanxi Confucian Temple system and the manipulation are roughly similar to the Qianwei Confucian Temple...
Destroying the irreversible "natural disaster" can still be forgiven, but destroying or even destroying the blockage of people's thinking and vision is very worthless and regrettable.
Walking into the Qianwei Temple of Literature, solemnity and elegance are integrated, and admiration and humor are mixed in "tongren". And the atmosphere of Confucian elites, surrounded by ideas and ritual traditions, has a clear way to come on the way home.
In the words of Shostakovich, one of the world's leading composers of the 20th century, "Many things have aged and disappeared before our eyes, but I think that many things that seem to have passed through time will eventually appear fresh, powerful and eternal."

We visited the Ship-shaped Street and the Temple of Literature, all of which should bear witness to Shostakovich's warnings, which made us ponder on the way back.
Nowadays, in the rolling world, most people's thinking is mostly "materialized" and commoditized by doing nothing, and they ignore the cultural heritage left by their ancestors because of lack of understanding; and they take it lightly because of their disregard, resulting in many "gaps" in history in their hometown. In our visit and study, how to excavate and study the existing cultural relics in our hometown, write with a pen, and retain references should be the real purpose of our visit to the mountains and rivers of Qianwei and Luocheng.
So the mink continued:
Confucian Ancestor Temple Shantideva,
Millennia of liturgical music overtone.
Spring and Autumn Dayi Poems Three Hundred,
Tell the story of Zhao Zhao Huaxia's heart.
