Riye Ancient Town Encountering Riye is a fortuitous fate, and perhaps it is this fortuitousness that has a kind of unexpected surprise.
From Changsha to Jishou, if you go to Lier, the distance will be closer, but our destination is not Lier, but Longshan County. Over the winding winding mountain road to a wide plateau flat, in the northwest frontier of Hunan Wuling Mountains hinterland, even Jingchu and the arm of Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and Chongqing provinces, the junction of two counties - Hunan Longshan County and Hubei Laifeng County, the junction of the two counties is a few dozens of meters long bridge.
In this beautiful county Longshan County work is completed, was to return directly to Changsha, but some people proposed to go to Riye to see, to see that with the Wangcun, Pu City, Chadong and known as the four major towns in western Hunan Riye ancient town. The city of Longshan is at the northernmost tip of Longshan, and Lier is at the southernmost tip of Longshan.
So, had to go along the Xiangyu junction of the highway from north to south. Bumpy mountain road, 5-6 hours of driving through the Wulong Mountain Grand Canyon.
Some people question whether it's worth it to travel so far up the mountain to see such a small town. In my mind, it is.
Not to mention the scenery of the ancient town will be how, just walking through the canyon in the Wulong Mountain, that charming scene is a linger.
The road on both sides of the high place is reckless, winding beautiful mountain peaks, the road below is like a jade belt coiled around the clear river, sometimes cliffs, dangerous, sometimes is a winding path, lush high hills and shade, can see small pieces of terraced rice fields, scattered in the mountains of the Miao family wooden house. The head is white clouds, the mountains are birds and flowers, people forget the hard work of the mountain road bumps.
More than 5 hours over the mountains, the field of vision opened up, the wide plains, the golden autumn sun, in front of us is the rolling waves of rice, vegetables and borders, let people forget that this is in western Hunan. The roadside houses are also gradually more and more, intuition tells me, Liye arrived.
But the first thing that came into our sight was a piece of modern housing construction, three or four-storey buildings, some have been completed, some are under construction, while some have been stopped, no one lives there, and not completely built. Could this be the old town? Fellow Longshan's friend said, this is the new development zone of the city of Riyadh, set aside this piece of land for foreign investment, but the effect of investment is not good, some of them have become half-assed project.
After a few minutes of driving, we finally entered the town. This is what I imagined the ancient town, green stone paved streets, Tujia style Minqing building, carved railings of the old wooden houses, the ancient wind swinging business signboards, so that people are intoxicated in the heavy history.
However, there is no hustle and bustle of tourists like the ancient city of Phoenix, there is no rush to catch up with the crowd, only to see the mottled old house in front of the old house, leisurely sitting a few old people, or sipping tea or gripped with a tobacco pouch chatting, and some of the old house leisurely doing their own household chores. Where called ancient towns, often in the dust and smoke of history hibernation for too long, in the emanation of a faint atmosphere of the times at the same time, more is filled with a strong primitive flavor.
Walking on the green stone road in Lille, my feeling is that Lille in the dust and smoke of history hibernated too long too long, she has been sleeping in the Ming and Qing dynasty novels in the mood, if it is still sleeping, so that a number of years will slowly let people forget. However, in the early summer of 2002, the discovery of an ancient well, woke up a dream of 2000 years, inspired the passion of the town of Xiangxi, which was raised in the bosom of the hidden mountains and water.
This is an ancient well, is a well that can speak, a well that can tell the history of more than 2,000 years ago. 2002, the excavation of the ancient city of Liye, this ancient well one-time unearthed nearly 36,000 documents of the Qin Dynasty, far more than the total number of Qin Jane unearthed in China, was hailed as "China's first well" by the experts, and the simple text of more than 100,000 words, covering the social life of the people of the world. More than 100,000 words, involving all aspects of social life, including mail, armament, arithmetic, record-keeping and so on.
The age of the documents belong to the Qin Dynasty period after the unification of China by Qin Shi Huang, dating from the twenty-fifth year of Qin Shi Huang (222 BC) to the second year of Qin Shi (210 BC), not less than a year. Liye Qin Jane is following the 1975, 1989 Yunmeng Qin Jane, 1979 Qingchuan Haojiaping Warring States Qin Jane, 1986 Fangmatan Qin Jane, 1993 Wangjiatai Qin Jane after the discovery of the most important, the largest number of Qin Jane (the total number of Qin Jane found in the last century, but only 2,000), due to the Qin Emperor's burning of books and burying of scholars, the Qin Dynasty's historical records only a word, Liye Qin Jane greatly make up for the gaps in Qin history, resurrection of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty's history of the blank, the Qin Dynasty's history of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty's history of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty is the most important and most important of all, and it is the most important of all, and it is the most important of all.
During the same excavation, hundreds of ancient tombs in Lijie were uncovered at the same time as the ancient city. The ancient city was built adjacent to the river, close to the Youshui, covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters, with rammed earth walls, moats, house building sites, drainage facilities, a number of ancient wells regularly distributed inside and outside of the ancient city, they **** with the formation of a complete ancient city system.
"There are Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an in the north, and Qin Jianzhu in Liye in the south." Archaeological experts unanimously **** knowledge, so that Lier - this little-known town, jumped into the "China's first ancient town", "Xiangxi history is not a barbaric land.
Walking in Lier, is a kind of heavenly mind walk. From time to time, you can feel her burgeoning historical flavor, you can think about it, you can search for the memories of the years sealed dust.
The meaning of "Liye" is the Tujia word for "open ground". According to legend, at the beginning of the development, the Tujia ancestors from fishing and hunting into farming, manpower to drag the plow plow, so the name.
Thousands of years ago, this hidden in the mountains of the ancient city, and suffered how the baptism of war? From the ancient city unearthed building materials, pottery, bronze weapons and living piles of view, the ancient city of Riyadh is the Warring States period, Chu built military castles, used to open up the territory and defend against the attack of the Qin State. At the end of the Warring States period, the Qin army attacked the Youshui basin from the Wujiang River basin, and the Chu army was forced to move east, and this ancient city was abandoned.
Then, and when, who is so many complete Qin Jane buried in a well. The well unearthed tens of thousands of volumes of Qin Jian were official documents left by the county minister of Qianling County.
Check the information know, Baojing County in ancient times has been called Qianling County, today's Baojing County Chengguan Town is still called Qianling Town, the name can be from more than 2,000 years ago has been used today, has her own heavy historical heritage. And now belongs to Longshan County, the town of Liye south of the Youshui River, You.

5. Hunan Folkways and Customs Essay 4001. Into the western Hunan, western Hunan women are the most people.
Xiangxi women simple, earthy, as a stone in the mountains or mountain flowers, without the slightest artificial sculpture and decoration, no matter how the wind how to blow the sun how to rain how to rain how to work how to grind, Xiangxi women is the water, about about, overflowing with the most attractive breath of life. Although you will sometimes see one or two not very attractive, inquire, to ensure that it is not Xiangxi, that is the field to work here and the women.
Xiangxi women are pure, ugly can be beautiful elves. In the background of Xiangxi full of green grass, trees and flowers, Xiangxi women are always walking in the best scenery.
Face pointed lips thin, skin tender, waist slender, chest quite, soft and not weak, charming and not vulgar, wearing their own embroidered flowers, wearing a father and brother casting the silver ring, in your heart tip swaying through. Butterflies follow speckled behind.
The dragonflies followed behind in a splotchy manner. The south of the purple swallows murmured, but also colorful and colorful behind.
They are a kind of flowers and trees of excellent texture, which open up in large flowers and grow in large patches. This one, alone and in a hurry, is an older aunt-in-law.
She will go to the slope, she will be hidden in the crops for a long time will not come out. The hoe and sickle in her hand will glean out a large piece of poetry and cut out a large piece of writing in her sweaty, muggy dripping.
The woman, a plow in the article and verse, bent over and bowed her back, carrying the hot sunlight and the begging of life, creeping forward. Crops of the palm of the more fat and thick, the palm of the fruit of the more strong and sweet, the wrinkles on the forehead of the woman is like a plow under the furrow and deep and black.
But the woman is still standing in the crops, let the mountain wind blow, with the white clouds, and then the stars and moonlight to bring home, made into oil lamps, illuminating the life of the family. Those sister-in-laws who have not been married for a long time and those who are not married are a flock of twittering mountain sparrows, all day and all night, flying around.
The silver voice in the valley shaking and floating, up a river of spring water, urging a tree buds, a piece of lethargic yellow leaves of the heart of the matter soaked to straighten out the waist, swim dissolved at the bottom of the cup. They want to go over this green, to the other side of the mountain, to visit relatives, to see, to meet lovers, or just to buy a little of their favorite things.
They don't trace eyebrows and make up. They don't perm plastic surgery.
They only wear a good dress. They hate those flamboyant, heavily made-up demonic women as much as their lovers.
Those lovers, often waiting by the river or on a rocky slab in the woodland, watch over these love that is about to come over the mountains. The water under his feet, the fish under the water, were like the palms of a woman's once caressing his heart.
When the women's bell incense shook close, the lover stood up and hit a loud yell at them, "Whoo - Whoo!" The bright Xiangxi women all perked up their ears, brightened up their eyes, smiled, and responded with a "Whoo - Whoo!" So the men say "oh" again, the women say "oh" again, and the whole valley is filled with the sound of "oh".
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in Hunan, and I've never seen a man in Hunan, but I've never seen a woman in Hunan, and I've never seen a woman in Hunan.
The woman in the threadbare dress, who has long belonged to her lover, is shy, but brave, and steps out of the line to meet the man. But not! That gang of soft up more than anyone soft, wild up more than anyone wild good women, all of a sudden cheeky tugged on her clothes, not allowed to go forward, eek! Just can't wait! Don't want us before we're even through the door, and that pro good boy is that good? We don't believe it! We're going to see if you're a good boy or a good boy! We're going to fix the newborn! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and then you'll be able to get your hands on a new one, and then you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
Lift the man's ear, screw the man's face, cut the man's pants, and then lifted on all fours, to the woman in red to hit the oil oil, until the man and woman are both arching their hands to forgive only willing to give up. Then, well, kiss, do a demonstration! That each "ghost" of the two people on the half-push, do a demonstration of action.
Hey! Xiangxi women's drop of water, how many men will drown? The woman of Xiangxi is skillful in her mind and will embroider flowers and make shoes. Xiangxi women are strong and beautiful, will give birth to children.
Xiangxi women are beautiful and sentimental, will brew love. When women in western Hunan sing, the bullets in the song can knock down an iron heart.
When the women of western Hunan dance, the love hook in the dance can hook a distant back. Xiangxi women are the world's purest and truest, the most beautiful and the most intelligent people in the world.
But they have a hard life, they seem to be destined to be buried deep in the ground of a medicine root.
When the older brother dressed up to go to school, they often stay at home to sweep the floor, coaxing younger siblings or do something else. The poor, can not afford to dish out, the parents of the balance can only favor the brother brother, the commission of them.
Because they are sooner or later to throw out the water, can not be recovered, they will sooner or later become the daughter-in-law of another family to do other things. They often stood on the eaves of their own house or ping yards, to see the kind of tall and big childhood in the campus of the playground jumping ah play ah, carefree, they often listen to the sound of that leafy maple under the bell.
When they climbed to the doorway outside the classroom with the partner lost his voice to read out "1 + 1 equals 2, 2 + 2 equals 4", the teacher was surprised to find a pair of oval eyes: "sister, come in, I teach you!" But the girl was scarlet and ran away, never to come back. Xiangxi woman, a bunch of unsweetened first ripe grapes, sour the world's heart.
