Section 271 Old Town of Lijiang (1)
"Purple Moon girl, by the way, where are we going next, you tell me quickly, let's drive over-
Duan Gongzi didn't know when he came to me from the driver's seat and whispered in my ear. I hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the others were unprepared, and secretly looked at the parchment scroll that Duan Gongzi had stuffed into me just now, and hurriedly whispered to Duan Gongzi that the parchment scroll was written in black and white with the Muwangfu in the ancient city of Lijiang, and after Duan Gongzi heard it carefully, he said to everyone with a smile: "We will go to the old town of Lijiang for a visit later, and it won't be long before we get off the helicopter, everyone be prepared." I suddenly had a palpitation and said, "By the way, the oil is still enough, it won't be like last time, the wine is out of oil halfway, we don't need to skydive?" In fact, I have already learned from the experience of the lack of oil last time, and I have just found several sets of parachute bags to look for, and everyone took a pair in case of accidents, but I still think it is good to confirm.
Duan Gongzi said happily: "Our luck is good this time, I just took a closer look at the oil and there is still a lot of oil, it is completely enough, you don't have to worry, it is more than enough." Then we hurriedly returned to the driver's seat in front of us, and we all continued to talk and laugh.
Hu Jiaojiao asked curiously: "By the way, what is the old town of Lijiang, I have never been there?" Although I have never been there, but I have just seen too much, as if I have been to the general, seeing that Xiaofei is weak and wants to speak, I stopped him in time, and said with a self-conscious smile: "I know, let me say, the old town of Lijiang is located in the ancient city of Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, also known as Dayan Town, is a famous historical and cultural city, and is one of the types of Chinese houses with distinctive characteristics and styles. It is located in the middle of Lijiang Dam, on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with an area of 7.279 square kilometers. The old town of Lijiang is very beautiful, the streets inside are built by the mountains and rivers, paved with red breccia, and there are scenic spots such as Sifang Street, Mufu, and Wufeng Tower. The Old Town of Lijiang has a variety of local ethnic customs and entertainment activities, such as Naxi ancient music, Dongba rituals, divination culture, and the Naxi torch festival. The ancestors of the Lijiang Mu clan moved the ruling center from Baisha Ancient Town to the current Lion Rock, and began to build a housing city, called Dayechang. The origin of the name of the ancient city is said to be because the hereditary ruler of Lijiang has the surname Mu, and the construction of the city is bound to be like a wooden word framed to form a trapped character. The name of Naxi in the old town of Lijiang is Gong Benzhi, Gong Ben is the cangli, and the old town of Lijiang was once the place where the cangli was distributed. Xu Xiake, a geographer of the Ming Dynasty who traveled all over Yunnan, described in his "Diary of a Trip to Yunnan" that Lijiang City at that time was a cluster of private houses, tiled houses, and more than 1,000 residents of the ancient city, and the construction of the town was quite large-scale. The building integrates the essence of Han, Bai, Yi and Tibetan ethnic groups, and the well has the unique style of the Naxi people. The ancient city of Lijiang has not been affected by the replication of the Central Plains city of Fangjiuli, the three gates next to it, the nine longitudes and nine latitudes in the country, and the nine tracks along the way. There is no regular road network in the city, there is no strict city wall, the layout of the ancient city is connected by three mountains as the screen, one river is connected, the water system uses the three rivers to pass through the city, and every house flows water; the street layout meridians are set up with the style of curved, secluded, narrow and reaching. The pattern of the old town of Lijiang is spontaneously formed, sitting in the northwest and facing the southeast. The old town of Lijiang, with water as the core, presents a unique spatial layout of water lanes due to the utilization of water. The dense number of bridges is the biggest feature of Lijiang Old Town. In terms of external modeling and structure, the ancient city dwellings combine the techniques of Central Plains architecture and Tibetan and Bai architecture, forming architectural techniques such as upward retracting earth and stone walls, stacked roofs, small green tiles, and wooden frames, and forming a unique style in terms of architectural layout and architectural art techniques. Most of the dwellings are civil engineering structures, and the more common forms are as follows: three squares and one wall, four and five patios, front and back yards, one into two courtyards, etc., which are very beautiful, very good-looking, and especially worth going to and seeing. Hu Jiaojiao nodded with satisfaction, and Zeng Lu also continued to ask curiously: "Is there anything interesting in the ancient city of Lijiang?" I knew that he had ulterior motives, and the drunkard did not mean to drink, so I deliberately did not say anything except Mufu, but said it in detail in other places, so that he could not see the clues: "There is a famous Puji Temple in the ancient city, which is one of the five major lama temples in the suburbs of Lijiang, and is famous for the main hall covered with copper tiles. The courtyard of the main hall is composed of the mountain gate, the Dharma Protector Hall (gatehouse), the main hall, and the north and south wings. There is also the famous Sifang Street, Sifang Street is a snack street in the ancient city, there are dozens of small Sifang Street restaurants on both sides of the street, each restaurant has Yunnan unique rice noodles, and there are many kinds, so this street is also called Lijiang Mixian Street, lively and extraordinary, and I heard that the things there are particularly delicious, it is really delicious on the tip of the tongue, it is endless, lingering, and this Sifang Street is the center of Lijiang Old Town, it is said that Mu's Tusi is built according to the shape of its seal. It is the most important hub station on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, where businessmen from all walks of life gather throughout the ages, and where various ethnic cultures meet, it is the center of economic and cultural exchanges in Lijiang. By the way, the most unforgettable in the old town of Lijiang, the breathtaking is still those dense ancient bridges, in the old town of Lijiang on the Yuhe River system, there are 354 bridges, the density of stone bridges is an average of 93 per square kilometer. The shape of the bridge is varied, the more famous ones are Suocui Bridge, Dashi Bridge, Wanqian Bridge, Nanmen Bridge, Saddle Bridge, Renshou Bridge, among which the Dashi Bridge located 100 meters east of Sifang Street is the most distinctive. The big stone bridge is the first of the bridges in the ancient city, located in the east of the square street 100 meters, built by the Ming Dynasty Mu's Tusi, because the reflection of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain can be seen from the river water under the bridge, also known as the Yingxue Bridge. The bridge is a double-hole stone arch bridge, the arch ring is supported with slate, the bridge is more than 10 meters long, the bridge width is nearly 4 meters, the bridge deck is paved with traditional five-flower stone, the slope is gentle, it is convenient for both sides of the strait, there is also the famous Lion Mountain, the five-star classical all-wood structure lookout tower built on the top of the mountain, the name of the ancient building. The building is 32.8 meters high, 16 24-meter-long wooden pillars are all over the top, and there are 12,600 Naxi style dragon heads upstairs, creating the world's most, and of course there are many other beautiful places. Zeng Lu nodded thoughtfully, and the others happily continued to talk and laugh with their eyebrows, looking very expectant.
Xiao Fei, who was weak next to him, also came to his senses, and he whispered to me, "What did you just see the place?" I was right, that is, in the old town of Lijiang, to be exact, the clue was in the Mufu.
Xiaofei stuck out his tongue and said that this time we are not easy to find, when I was in the modern society, I had the pleasure of going once, the Mufu in the ancient city of Mufu was originally the government office of the hereditary Tusi Mu clan in Lijiang, located in the ancient city of Lion Rock, the east foot of Mufu, Mufu covers an area of 46 acres, there are 162 large and small rooms in the house, the central axis is 369 meters long, Sanqing Palace, Yuyin Building, Guangbi Building, Dharma Protector Palace, Wanjuan Building, Council Hall, Zhongyi Fang are arranged in order from west to east.
