The garrison built avillage beside the lower post road of Shuangshi peak, which is known as "Qingyanvillage" in history. In 1381, Zhu Yuanzhang sent 30 troops to Yunnan andGuizhou. After entering the hinterland of Central Guizhou, a large number oftroops settled in tuntian. Tun "gradually developed into a village where thearmy and the people lived together," and Qingyan Tun "evolved into" Qingyan fort". From the fourth to the seventh year of Tianqi (1624-1627 A.D.), ban Lingui,who led Qingyan tubei, led 72 stockade, and controlled the eight fan twelvedivisions, built a Tucheng on the "siziba" slope (place name) about onekilometer away from Qingyan castle. He was called "Wangcheng" at that time,which means "Bingcheng" or "Yingpan" in Chinese transliteration. This is therudiment of today's Qingyan city. Tucheng is a high and dangerous place. Inorder to avoid the disaster of soldiers, most of the people in the formerQingyan Fort moved to Tucheng, which made Tucheng gradually take on a largescale. It has become a cross traffic stronghold going south to Dingfan (nowHuishui), up to Guiyang, West to Pingba (County) and east to Longli (county).After hundreds of years of history, it has been renovated and expanded manytimes, from Earth City to stone wall and stone street.

The "zhaolilun centenary square" in front of us was built in the Guangxuperiod of the Qing Dynasty, with unique shape and exquisite workmanship. Themost interesting is the "down mountain lion" on the stone pillars on both sides,which is the most ingenious. Most of the lion shapes in China are standing orsquatting. The design of this kind of down hill lion breaks the traditionalconcept and fully reflects the attention of the builders at that time and thesuperb skills of the craftsmen.

Qingyan Town, an ancient town in Ming and Qing Dynasties, is about 60 liaway from Guiyang. It is close to Miao Township, and used to be an importantmilitary town to suppress the uprising of Miao people. It was also athoroughfare to Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and Guangxi, through which merchants cameand went.
In fact, there are many distinctive buildings with profound historicalbackground in the town. Climbing on the side of the town is not too highhillside (local people call it huangjiapo), you can have a bird's-eye view ofthe town. Because the town is not built on a plane, but on the uneven hillside,from a high point of view, the pattern of the whole town gives people athree-dimensional aesthetic feeling that is difficult to see in other ancienttowns. Temples, gates, these main buildings stand in the curling smoke, tellingpeople one old story after another. Surprisingly, in addition to many temples,there are still a Christian Church and a Catholic Church in the town.
In other words, there are both Buddhists and Catholicism and Christianityin the small town. What we can't know is how the phenomenon of "coexistence ofthree religions" has been preserved in the long history. However, according tothe people in the town, the incense in the temple will not be broken every timewe arrive at the first and the fifteenth day of the new year, and there is anendless stream of people going to the church on Sunday. In addition to templesand churches, the most culturally representative thing in the town may be thewell preserved ancient archways. It is said that there were originally eightstone archways in the ancient town. Due to historical reasons, only three ofthem were left. They are the north gate There are "Zhao caizhang centenarysquare" outside, "Zhao ethnics centenary square" inside the south gate, and"Zhou Wang's daughter-in-law Liu's Jiexiao square" near dingguang gate. Amongthem, the construction of Jiexiao square is the most magnificent, and there areeven plaques inlaid with imperial edicts on the top of the square. What's moredramatic is that the church representing western culture is built opposite tothe filial piety square, which is a symbol of the traditional oriental thought.The high spire has been standing for a hundred years. This kind of unevenasymmetric beauty, with a strong contrast, has been rendered into the wholecultural atmosphere. Therefore, it looks like a fierce cultural and religiousconflict here, but it has been integrated unprecedentedly. People have to sighfor the beauty of this bullet How amazing is the cultural inclusiveness of theearth.
During the Anti Japanese War, Qingyan city wall was in good condition, thefour gates were still remote and safe, and many "refugees" were accepted.Guiyang traffic station of the Eighth Route Army set up an Xuan point in Qingyanand evacuated many families of revolutionary cadres here. Zhou Enlai's father,Deng Yingchao's mother, Li Kenong and the family members of Bogu (Qin bangxian)all lived in Qingyan. The former residence of Li Kenong's relatives: located atNo. 10, North Street, Qingyan Town, where the relatives of Li Kenong and othercommunist leaders lived from 1939 to 1941, and are still folk houses; the formerresidence of Deng Yingchao's mother: located at No. 75, South Street, where Ms.Yang Zhende, Deng Yingchao's mother, lived from 1939 to 1941, and are still folkhouses, running fast food; The former residence of Premier Zhou Enlai's father:it is located at No.2 qingyanbei street. From 1939 to 1941, Zhou Enlai's father,Zhou Maochen, once lived here, which is now open to the public.
It's a world of stone. The ancient post road paved with bluestone is wideand flat, clean and spotless. Houses are stone tiles, stone walls, stonebenches, stone mills. The only difference is that the walls of rich people arebuilt with green stones, while the walls of poor people are made of crushedstones. As time goes on, these houses are getting lower and dilapidated. In theworld of cold and hard stones, nature yearns for warmth. As a result, everyfamily planted flowers and trees in their own small courtyard. Through the smalldoorframe, you can see the colorful inside. Who says people here don't know howto create beauty and appreciate beauty?
The layout of the town is also very simple. The ancient post road is themain part of the town, and the alleys on both sides are the same as the hutongsin Beijing. They are deep and quiet. Walking in them, you suddenly feel like youare far away from the hustle and bustle and want to be independent. What's more,the town is built on the mountain. It's more fun to walk with the high and thelow.
At that time, merchants from south to North brought not only various goods,but also different regional cultures. Today, although the prosperity hasdissipated, it has left behind a few halls with high walls and a few Buddhisttemples, Taoist temples and Catholic churches. But they are only scenic spotsfor foreign tourists, and for local people, what they are proud of is a championmansion.
The so-called "Fu" is actually just a dilapidated courtyard with a row oflow three Ying tile roofed houses and a wing room. There are several pieces ofold furniture and historical materials about Zhuangyuanlang in the room. Fromthe historical data, his achievements are really mediocre, but his experience ofscientific examination is full of legend: in the general examination, he onlyranked 297, but in the palace examination, he miraculously won the first placeand became the new champion. It is also for this reason that every year beforethe college entrance examination, parents in Guiyang always drive their childrenhere to worship. Usually quiet town suddenly a busy scene, and sometimes evenroad congestion. It seems that as long as we don't reform the current examoriented education, our compatriots will still live to hell, always hoping toget some "literary luck" from this favorite of the imperial examination.
About half a mile away from Zhuangyuan mansion, it is a Taoist temple. Itwas rebuilt from Jiangxi guild hall and still retains its original architecturalstyle. On the opposite side of the main hall, the stage is carved with beams andpainted buildings, and the bamboo column and cornice are very exquisite. It's apity that the scenes of bamboo and meat on the stage and the drinking under thestage can't be seen again. When he entered the hall, he was dumbfounded. Itturned out that the one sitting on it was not the usual three Qing and fouremperors, but Liu An, who was famous for "one man's success and one dog'ssuccess". To be fair, it is human nature to "ascend to heaven" by nepotism.Isn't miss Bao in the Grand View Garden saying that "good wind will send me toQingyun with help"? It's just that compared with Miss Bao's euphemism andpropriety, it's too straightforward, so it always makes people feel a bitvulgar.
So I think of Lijiang in Yunnan and Pingyao in Shanxi. All of them havebeen preserved because of their remoteness and become tourist attractions. Ahistory of prosperity and decline just reflects the great changes of society.However, with the development of tourism, the commercial atmosphere has becomeincreasingly strong. In Pingyao, looking at the row upon row of shops along thestreet, I feel that there is only one shell left in this ancient city. Only whenwe see this small town with more original features can we feel that we arelooking at a page of history that has already passed away, and then we can feela sense of emotion and desolation.
Yan town is located in the southern suburb of Guiyang City, 29 kilometersaway. It was built in the 11th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty. It has a historyof 600 years. It is one of the most famous historical and cultural towns inGuizhou Province.
Across the empty fields and up the stone stairs, you can see the remains ofthe ancient city wall and the dingguang gate, which can be called the gate ofQingyan.
Walking past dingguang gate, it is a stone archway that has gone through600 years of vicissitudes. The stone lions lying on the archway seem to tellpeople the vicissitudes of women's "martyrdom" for the stone archway.
The stone lanes, wooden houses, folk houses, tofu fruit and rose candy withlocal characteristics in Qingyan ancient town still keep the same style as theyused to be, but some pavilions and pavilions are added for visitors to rest andenjoy the cool.
Qingyan also has a solemn Taoist temple "Longevity Palace" and a Buddhisttemple "Xiangyun Temple". After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the buildingis not as prosperous as it used to be, but it is still intact and remains thesame.
In the ancient town, Zhao Yigong, who won the first place in the imperialexamination of Baohe palace in the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty,and the former residence of Zhou Yuhuang, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty,as well as the "Tongshu house" where his works are stored, not only show thatthere are many talented people in Guiyang, but also add to the culturalatmosphere of Qingyan ancient town.
After many years, Qingyan ancient town is still displayed in front ofpeople with its ancient appearance. Therefore, we should protect it well and letit continue to tell ancient stories for people and not be forgotten by thetimes.

Generally, beforeeating, sprinkle some ingredients such as melon seeds, sesame seeds, peanutkernels and preserves, then mash the rice cake with a spoon and eat it with aspoon in lotus root flour.
