Thirty-six peaks are strange, looking for the wild river.
There is a heart of wind and rain, no intention of ancient and modern fans.
The smoke is chaotic, and the road is slow.
The Yang family left the old house, and the swallows were holding the mud.
The sun and the moon float and sink, and a stream of ancient rhymes exists.
Yin Yin led the old alley and trance into the deep forest.
Dogs bark at the courtyard, chickens peck at the marks of age.
Mountain songs come from far and near, dragging the ridge head cloud.

Qingxi Village, located in Rulin Town, Chengbu Miao Autonomous County, was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of nearly 800 years. The Miao population in the village accounts for 80%, with more than 110 well-preserved Ming and Qing ancient residences and 18 courtyards, which is known as "the best of the ancient residences in southwest Hunan Province". In recent years, Chengbu has increased the protection and repair of the ancient houses in Qingxi Village, making this ancient village shine again.
In the first year of Ming Hongwu (1368), local villagers raised funds to build a Qing'an Bridge in the northwest of the Qingxi River, which is a stone arch bridge with three consecutive arches, second only to the "Rongchang Bridge" in the Nanmen River of the county, but unfortunately destroyed in 1958. In the eleventh year of Ming Hongwu (1378), the villagers raised funds to build a 2,000-meter-long, 60-centimeter-wide, 70-centimeter-deep canal through the village, with a large flow of water, clear all year round, sweet taste, warm in winter and cool in summer, never exhausted. The canal still benefits the villagers of Qingxi today. The ancient residences of Qingxi still preserve relics such as stone ballasts, stone locks, shangma stones, and gun stones that the Yang family used to practice martial arts in the past.
Qingxi Gumiao Village declared itself as a county-level key cultural relics protection unit in 2008 and a key cultural relics protection unit in Hunan Province in 2009.
