All along, there has been a kind of complex, that is, to be able to be in the mountains and rivers, quiet and peaceful, headrests for a quiet night, and hear the sound of chickens and dogs. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and the crowds, the fragrance of nameless wildflowers, the fragrance of cooking smoke, and enjoy the tranquility and joy of the paradise. "The Yangtze River has swallows, quarries, and three rocks of chengling, which are famous all over the world; the Qingyi River has the Jingchuan Lock Key Horse Head Rock, which has been admired for a long time." Rocks refer to rocks or small rocks that protrude from the river and are in contact with the water. In the imagination, Matouji is a towering cliff, like a horse with hooves roaring, traversing the Qingyi River, and then the spectacular scene described by Su Dongpo as "the waves crashing on the shore and rolling up a thousand piles of snow".
The Qingyi River was diverted to the west, and Matouji was no longer worthy of its name. Matou Village snuggles quietly under Matou Mountain in the sunset in the west, and the thousand-year arch guard of the rock guards protect her from the flood. The village is now part of Qinxi Town, adjacent to Xuanzhou District to the east and Nanling County to the west. Formerly known as Matou Town, Yizhi Town has a record. The ancient town is divided into two towns, east and west, and The Yi people Hu Chengjue have "Shiji divides the west and east of the shore, and the blue water is in a mirror." Ander's life is as promised, and the horse's head meets everywhere" verse. Xizhen belongs to Nanling County, and the Nanling County Chronicle records that it was washed away by floods during the Guangxu Xuantuo period. Face the changes in the vicissitudes of the mulberry fields. Matou Mountain is "the end of the northeast of the county", the key to the throat. In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong, the acting Zhixian Jiang Gong inscribed the four characters of "Jingchuan Lock Key", pointing out the importance of geographical location. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Matou Town has been equipped with floods (the smallest military institutions in ancient times), and has built barracks, smoke piers, and observation towers. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Zuo Nandang protected Jing County, and in order to prevent the rebels from driving straight through Matou Mountain, he built a city at Baishan Mountain, west of the Qingyi River.
Matou Town has a long history and profound cultural heritage. As early as the Song Dynasty, there were Wu surnames and Wang surnames that moved in and multiplied into large families. Matou Town began as a water and land pier in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. By the early years of the Republic of China, there were as many as 6,000 residents, and the construction area of the town reached 36,000 square meters. There are more than 20 handicraft workshop enterprises such as textile, silk, iron, umbrella making, leather, oil pressing, bartending, etc., nearly 200 miscellaneous department stores of various types, 5 city banks such as bamboo and wood shops and cattle shops, hengfa qianzhuang, the largest in the county, also set up semicolons here, and some foreign "foreign firms" have also come here to open offices. As Hu Pu'an said, "the merchant boats are gathered, and the market of a county is also gathered." "At the beginning of the last century, Matou Town once became the center of political science and education in Jing County.
With the changes of the times, especially the construction of the Chencun Reservoir, the Matou water and land functional wharf no longer exists, the commerce withers away, and the horse head has also changed from the town to the village. Young and middle-aged people go out to work hard for their livelihoods, and the old, weak and young wait for this criss-crossing street and alley.
In early summer, the horse's head is auspicious, after a rain, it is fresh and clear, and the blue sky is like a wash. Quiet and elegant, the deep and shallow trees and grasses are full of vitality.
