I must admit that Beiguan made me allergic. Just as some people see the hieroglyphs of "birds" and suddenly feel that they are going to fly with them. Every time I walk into Beiguan, I will have a sense of crossing, and I want to walk along Beiguan all the way. At this time, time evolves into a long circular orbit, and the history of thousands of years ago is hidden, and it is pulled apart in volumes, from far and near, one by one, slowly and leisurely pushing towards you.

Walking in Beiguan, the bluestone pavement under your feet is uneven, and even some of them have stumbled on the soles of their feet. "Rambling Bashu Road, Xiao Xiao Ban Ma Ming". This ancient site of Chengdu, which can be used in the west to Chengdu in the west, Huguang in the east, Dianhai in the south, and Jianmen in the north, has been more than 1700 years old, and is still lying quietly in the Beiguan scenic spot, telling the history of the development of Longchang that "because of the Road to the Station, because of the Yi county, to the Road to xingcheng". In Beiguan, the elements of bluestone, post roads and arches are everywhere alive.
In the old days, there were six ancient post roads that intersected in Longchang City. Under the historical conditions at that time, these post roads were not inferior to today's high-speed railways and high-speeds, highlighting the location advantages of being the key points of transportation, and becoming the past gathering and dispersing places of people and logistics. The old scenery is bustling and lively, and the tea merchants and salt merchants who leave the river and enter the river are constantly shuttling on the stagecoach road, and the jingle horse bells are constantly heard. There were also imperial court messengers, galloping horses, transporting Luzhou Hejiang lychees to the ancient city of Chang'an overnight. Countless times staged the story of "a red dust concubine laughing, no one knows that it is a lychee coming". How many sorrows and joys and how many ups and downs have been witnessed by this thousand-year-old post road? Presumably, the glowing mosses on the bluestone of the post road and the polished edges and corners of the stone will be remembered.
Above the post road, between the Ming and Qing dynasty style buildings, stands a group of archways. From Longchang South Street to Beiguan, thirteen ancient bluestone arches from the Ming and Qing dynasties are arranged in an orderly manner in the shape of rosaries. The road is long, the history is vicissitudes, the archway is quaint, and the history book is vast. Dezhengfang, Filial Piety Fang, Gongdefang, Centennial Fang, Jiexiaofang... Or watch, or promotion, or highlight, a wide variety, solemn shape. The unique structure of four pillars, three doors, three eaves and five drops of water, exquisite carving, profound meaning, people are breathtaking. Shallow body cloud pattern, mortise joint, silk into the buckle; partridge kiss angle, leaping to fly. Under the construction of the whole stone, the solemnity and roughness are highlighted. This stone archway, standing on the thousand-year-old post road, is like a three-dimensional history book, telling the past and present lives of Longchang.
Walking on the ancient post road, stopping under the stone square, it seems that you can hear the flames in the sky, and the horses' hooves once rushed from the depths of the bluestone. The stories of the deceased also jumped on the stone arch one by one. In the sixth year of Xianfeng, Longchang was seriously drought-stricken, and Zhixian Suqing led the gentry of the county to resist drought and protect seedlings and open wells to find water; on the one hand, to stabilize the price of rice, on the other hand, to risk being killed by the imperial court, to open the granary, to protect the border and the people, and achieved outstanding political achievements; Liu Guangdi of Zhixian County, with a peaceful and lenient disposition, persuaded nongsang, created a habitat to shelter the displaced people, and taught them skills to make them self-reliant. The inscriptions of "benevolent and good governance" and "political success and harmonization" engraved on Liu Guangdi's dezheng square fully affirm the harmony of the schools under the virtue government. Touching the mottled stone base of the archway, a sense of trance permeated my heart. History has never been interrupted, and Bluestone is here to prove that it is endless and prosperous. The newly built Jixian Exhibition Hall, the Black Pottery Museum, and the Niushumei Official Residence restore many historical scenes and take you through the imagination again. During major festivals, Beiguan will have traditional folk customs performances, people dressed in antique costumes, carrying sedans and blowing pipes to cruise the ancient town, watching a large number of participants.
At the end of the ancient post road, an ochre red wooden boardwalk, flying in the sky at the highest point of the city. Follow the steps of this pedestrian bridge in the sky to come to the towering Longchang landmark "Tianyun Tower".
The Tianyun Tower was built in 2013 to commemorate the iron meteorites that fell into Longchang during the Ming Dynasty. Taken from the harmonic sound of "meteorite falling from heaven". This building has 9 floors, minus 3 floors, 8 floors, and a height of 82.55 meters. The Tianyun Building is hexagonal in shape, an antique shape with a pointed roof. The shape is like a pagoda layer by layer, constantly narrowing, straight into the clouds, arrogant and majestic. At night, inside and outside the eleventh-story tower, the lights are fully open, and the whole body is golden, which is beautiful. The cool breeze, the moon is empty, and in the rhythm of the silk bamboo that floats in, it will make people forget to return.
Standing on the upper floor of Tianyun, looking at the far side, the city is picturesque. High-rise buildings are lined with parks and gardens. This important town in southern Sichuan has lasted for a long time. In the immersion of the wheel of history, just like these stones behind them, simple and unpretentious but fertile for thousands of miles, it is always necessary to open up purple and red flowers and grow leafy trees. This city and the people in this city are not flustered by the storms and frosts; when they are carved into a vessel, they will not be ostentatious. With the long years, the North Pass is silent, the Heavenly Fortune Building is waiting unremittingly, and the beautiful meaning of "Heavenly Fortune, Heaven Blesses the People" has been realized today.
