In the Republic of China, the Liu family had the most buildings in its heyday, with a combination of Chinese and Western styles, solemn, elegant and generous courtyards, which created the special architectural style of Anren Town and was known as "the fine architectural culture of western Sichuan". x0dx0a Anren Town has a long history. Anren County was established as early as the third year of Tang Wude (AD 620) (earlier than the 50th anniversary of Dayi County's founding). It belongs to Qiongzhou, Jiannan Province. According to the Taiping Universe, it was named after the meaning of "taking care of benevolence". At that time, the county was governed in today's Anren Town, because it was "Anren" in ancient times. Until the 21st year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1284), the establishment of Anren County was cancelled, and its area was transferred to Dayi County. Before liberation, Anren was known as the "Three Armies, Nine Brigade and Eighteen Regiments", and Liu Wenhui, Liuxiang and other military and political dignitaries emerged one after another. x0dx0a Reference days: one day x0dx0a7. Xilai Ancient Town: The ancient banyan with a thousand years x0dx0a Xilai Ancient Town is located in Pujiang County, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, which not only keeps a large number of western Sichuan dwellings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also has 12 ancient banyan trees with a long reputation. Xilai Town crosses Linxi River and the shallow hills with five sides, borders National Highway 108 in the east and National Highway 318 in the west, and crosses the West Sichuan Tourism Ring Road (Provincial Highway 106) and Shouwo Road (connecting lines of National Highway 108 and 318).The whole town covers an area of 79 square kilometers, which was originally administered by Linxi County, with a history of more than 1,700 years. x0dx0a There are two versions about the name of "Xilai". One is that from the sky, the houses in the whole town have become a standard word "Xi". The second statement is a legend. It is said that in the first year of Kangxi (AD 1662), the once-in-a-century flood broke out in Linxi River, and the woodcut statue of Guandi, which was enshrined in the Guandi Temple in the upstream Kui Zhang market, rushed to the production field of sairinji in Linxi market. The abbot Jing Ci of sairinji donated the temple production field and built a new Guandi Temple where the statue of Guandi ran aground. Generally, the temple gates are north-south, but only the Guandi temple gate from the west is open to the west, which means that Guandi is from the west. In the 34th year of Kangxi (AD 1696), Li Shen, the magistrate of Pujiang County, visited Linxichang, and found that there was more than one name of Linxichang, which was easy to be confused. Because Emperor Guan came from the west, it brought prosperity and hope here. He borrowed the allusion of "Buddhism and Dharma came from the west" in Buddhist teachings, that is, Tang Xuanzang took the Tripod from the west, so he changed Linxichang to the west. This is the origin of "Guandi Temple comes first, and then comes to the West". x0dx0a Reference days: one day (near Chengdu) x0dx0a8, Yuantong Ancient Town: an ancient diaojiao building x0dx0a In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Yuantong was called "Little Chengdu".

From the top, you can see that large green tile roofs are lined up along Wenjing River, and live near the river. A street in the middle passes through it, which smells like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. x0dx0a "ancient" is the best way to summarize the ancient town of Yuantong. Take a rest in the diaojiao building near the old stone arch bridge at the end of half street, watching the river flow by, and imagining the prosperity of Yuantong 1600 years ago, which makes people sigh that "the deceased is like a husband"? ? x0dx0a Reference days: two days
