Appreciate Qianzhou Ancient City

Two years ago, in the late fall, I walked with Lv Gong Shuntai ancient road, in time for the sun is about to set at the moment, hastily browse through the Shunxi ancient village. Due to time constraints, I only stayed for a short time outside the walls of the Shunxi House, but the grandeur of the courtyard and its self-contained atmosphere of the years, which made people straighten their backs. Next to the Shunxi big house of Shunxi ancient street, a total length of about 500 meters, along the street brick and wooden houses are mostly rebuilt in recent years, although more sophisticated and livable, but ultimately made in haste, less time-hardened heaviness. On the contrary, from the neighboring Shunxi to take the stone paved street, because the stone is rounded and natural, the size of the different and interesting from the sky. On one side of one section of the street, there is a live water channel about one meter wide and 70 centimeters deep under the eaves of each house, and there is a wooden fence about 60 centimeters high on the exposed part of the water channel. The flow of water is gurgling, the water quality is clear and fresh, quite unique.

Qianzhou ancient city, rebuilt at the beginning of this century in the old site. And the country's ancient towns and villages, as the same, due to highlight the function of business travel, there is a point of obvious industrialization mold casting flavor. In the early years, business and tourism red hot, a festive, just like the super and big name stores like the sale of two prosperous. In recent years, about the serious homogenization of resources, tourists diversion, coupled with the city's merchants eager to make quick money, so that tourists sparse, the street store withered.

Thanks to the rapid advancement of urbanization, the population density around the ancient city is increasing day by day. Or after tea, or work leisure, three or two people gathered in the ancient city, the great flow of people, simply Ho Ho Tang Tang. At the beginning of the lights, the ancient city gate, every day there is a youth, or male or female, playing the guitar, singing trendy songs. Three open holes in the city wall, an old and a young two artists, singing flower drums, playing knife throwing. The crowd of onlookers, from time to time, shouted aloud, or someone went up to reward. The cofferdam on the river, densely packed swimmers, aside from the drill ground, the wind and fire of the square dance wave wave wave wave wave. Inadvertently, the alley in the local flavor hall, diners began to pile up, corner of the tide before the drink store, circling the crowd. The old city is slowly regaining vitality.

The building of the ancient city, common brick tile flying eaves, with the Hui style, but also combined with the characteristics of the Tujia hammock, but unfortunately, due to the original residents of the many households, the land is expensive, imitation of the repair of the house more cramped foundations, the street is narrow, the real bearing Xiang-E-Chuan (Chongqing) Qian side of the traditional architectural charm of the patio hammock disappeared. However, the bricks, tiles and flying eaves have the charm of traditional wooden houses. The combination of the two, the scenery is self-contained.
