"The late man said the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March", if Yangzhou is not a green poplar city, Guo, the second moon, how can Li Bai's verses be so poetic? "Xiao Lou listens to the spring rain one night, and the deep alley sells apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty", if the deep alley is not a powder wall dewa, a small bridge flowing water, how can Lu You's verses be so meaningful and timeless? Unfortunately, some of the houses that have given birth to countless writers and inkers are gradually disappearing in urban transformation, but in Guizhou Province, one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou, one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou, Huaxi District, Guiyang City, still exudes her unique light.
Qingyan Ancient Town was founded in 1378 AD, and has a history of more than 600 years, known as the "South Gate" of Guiyang. The city gate of the ancient town has the three words "Dingguang Gate" written on it, and on the left and right sides are the rambling walls, on which enemy towers, battlements and forts are built, which are magnificent and impressive. These are all made of square boulders, and they are full of green and gray and black.
A series of longitudinal bluestone slab roads and curved narrow alleys take us into a different world; the ancient counters on both sides are divided into two kinds of stone and wood, which are very textured; the intricately carved small bricks between the doors and windows are dexterous and pleasant, and the stone lions standing upside down on the stone square are vivid, and everything is reminiscent of the ancient feelings.
Walking into an alley called "Back Street", you will immediately feel a strong sense of time and space confusion, and the huge distance between time and space makes people constantly "switch" between two time and space, which I would like to call "Qingyan's time tunnel". The bluestone paved roads and bluestone walls are full of objects full of age, and the warm golden sunlight sweeps through the gaps of the house to the blue-gray walls, and the transition between light and shadow is when a large piece is released!
In front of the Gate of the Wanshou Palace, there were eight immortals of the sea, and each immortal had a different look and full of characteristics, which could be distinguished at a glance. The most eye-catching thing in the palace is the theater building, where the wood carvings are exquisite. On the wooden beam on the right side of the theater building, a group of high-relief character patterns are the most famous, with the content of "Hongmen Banquet", "Ten Faces Ambush", "Embattled Song", etc., with a strong artistic atmosphere and great military cultural characteristics.
The best thing about Qingyan is the simple folk style that modern people dream of. When you are tired of walking on the road, the townspeople will move their chairs to let you rest your feet; when you are thirsty, they will serve a bowl of cool Kuding tea, and by the way, tell you a passage of Qingyan allusions, so that your spirit will also be relieved. This kind of simple enthusiasm is not common among the neighborhoods of today's high-rise buildings, so it is more cherished and will make you like the town from the heart.
As a special snack, Qingyan marinated pork knuckle is reddish brown in color, fat but not greasy, crisp but not rotten, and mellow in taste, but it attracts countless tourists. It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, The Qingyan man Zhao Yijiong went to Beijing to take the exam, and when he set off, his mother made a pot of pig's feet for him to eat on the road, and as a result, Zhao yijiong was named after the Gold List, and the high school was crowned, so the Qingyan people also called the brine pig's feet as "Yuan's hoof".
