Hearing Uncle Qian say this, the hearts of a few of us just mentioned finally let go. As soon as this mention is put away, our mood is really apprehensive. Although the person he was looking for couldn't help, Uncle Qian at least found a breakthrough in the matter. With this drawing, it is much more convenient, and the next question is how to get into the water.

A few of us couldn't wait to enter the house with Uncle Qian, and believing him, a few of us lowered our heads and carefully studied the somewhat old drawing. Judging from the general style of the picture, it is a bird's-eye view of the Lion City. Although it is a little different from the modern design drawing, it is still about the same. If you just look at the lines, I and the old ghost, who are liberal arts students, can understand it.

However, if you look closely at those notes, it will be fatal. It's so dense that I can't see anything clearly, and I don't have the patience to look at it. The old ghost and I were both a little fidgety.

But apart from the two of us, Uncle Qian, Qian Cheng and Duoduo are very fascinated!

I can't help but wonder: Uncle Qian, I don't know, but how could Qian Cheng and Duoduo, who also study liberal arts, be so dedicated? I really don't understand that. It is said that such drawings can only be understood by those engineering men who study architecture. But the three of them seemed to be able to understand it.

Seeing such a scene, the old ghost was also jealous. So, he couldn't help but ask, "I said, can you understand?" It's like the real thing! Don't think I don't know, you just admit death. Even if you don't understand it, you have to understand it. But I advise you, judging from this drawing, this Lion City is not small. If you keep looking at it like this, then I guess we won't have enough time! ”

"You're right, we really don't understand." "But we know how to look at it." So. When you think about it, we don't seem to have much of a problem. ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Can you guide me all at once? When the old ghost heard him say that he knew how to look at it, he quickly changed his face and said, "Let me know what to think?" ”

Qian Cheng smiled, then pointed to the ancient building in one direction on the drawing, and said, "This is our Qian family." That is, what Duoduo calls the 'old house'. You know what to look at this time, right? ”

Hearing Qian Cheng say this, the old ghost immediately seemed to be stunned, but it seemed to be humiliating himself. Thinking about it, the two of us were still thinking: such a messy drawing, it looks like it's going to be difficult, if you find it, then you can't die?! But when Qian Cheng said that one of them was their family's old house, it would have narrowed the scope by one or two times at once.

In this way, the two of us are a little clever. That's good. was slapped in the face alive. But now that time is of the essence, no one cares. Now the most important thing is to find the entrance and enter in a line.

Looking at their posture, they are already familiar with the general structure and path of this Lion City. That is, after a little research, you will know which direction to enter this ancient city.

"Yes, this is it!" Duoduo's father said. "I used to play here when I was younger, so I don't know the environment of this road too much!"

1959 year. In order to build the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, the largest water conservancy project at that time, the former Chun'an County and Sui'an County in Zhejiang Province were merged into the current Chun'an County, and 290,000 people left their hometowns to relocate. The two ancient cities of Shicheng and Hecheng, which have lasted for thousands of years, together with 27 towns and villages, more than 1,000 villages, 300,000 acres of fertile land, and thousands of private houses, have quietly sunk to the bottom of the blue waters of Qiandao Lake.

The ancient city of Chun'an is also known as Hecheng. It was founded in 208 AD. Under the porch in the shape of ancient coins and the finely carved "Shang", a piece of Hui-style mansions shows the prosperity and wealth of this Huishang commercial road hub on the bank of the Xin'an River.

Throughout the ages, many literati and scholars have been here. Therefore, this has contributed to the strong cultural atmosphere of "a cluster of famous works and cultural monuments everywhere".

History of Sui'an. It's a little later than Chun'an.

According to historical records, the county seat of Sui'an was moved to the current Sui'an boundary in the fourth year of Tang Wude (that is, in 621 AD). Because it is backed by the Five Lions Mountain, it is also known as the "Lion City". With convenient land and water transportation, the Lion City is an important town in western Zhejiang. In that year, Hong Xiuquan's younger brother Hong Renji once led the Taiping Army to garrison the north gate.

There are many places of interest in the city: ancient pagodas, archways, Yue Temple, City God Temple, Zhonglie Bridge, Five Lions Academy and other ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as many ancient tombs of the past dynasties.

In the eyes of many cultural relics protection experts, the "flooding of Chun'an City" that year seemed quite hasty. It stands to reason that before the construction of the reservoir, it is necessary to "clear the reservoir", bulldoze the building, remove garbage, and relocate and protect cultural relics.

According to historical records, before the impoundment of the Xin'an River Reservoir, the local government demanded that the houses in the two counties be bulldozed, destroyed and disinfected. With this policy, Hecheng was basically destroyed. According to the memories of local elders, there was a slogan at that time: "Bring more new ideas, less old furniture." ”

And those old people who moved out of the ancient city still remember, "The Lion City is far from the dam, and the people in the city didn't expect the water to arrive so quickly." When I realized that the flood was coming, I didn't have time to move and move. ”

As a result, the ancient Lion City is generally considered to be largely intact.

I have seen reports about this in the news and materials, and what is even more interesting is that CCTV has also organized a scientific expedition to go down to the Lion City to conduct field investigations. At that time, several divers took their equipment and took two speedboats to head towards the Maotoujian waters.

That time I was lucky, I found the city wall in one go, and the expedition team members also picked up an old brick. This is a city wall brick, which is clearly engraved with the words "23 years of the Republic of China" and "Zhang Baochen, the county magistrate". This can be said to be of epic value for the study of the progress of the Lion City!

In the ancient lion city, the scientific expedition team members found that the wooden beams, stairs, and brick walls of some houses in the city were still standing and had not decayed; In some large mansions, the walls are intact, and the houses are still carved and painted. Brushing away the silt from the walls, the lime in the cracks in the stone walls is well preserved; The imposing arched west gate also stands intact in the water and can be opened and closed. Pushing open the wooden gate, the rivets and hoops were still visible.

During this period, the members of the scientific expedition also found a tile carved with the words "Guangxu 15 years" in the silt at the bottom of the lake, as well as a stone tablet of the Ming Dynasty. Through a variety of means, such as the guò GPS positioning system, multi-beam measurement system, and side-scan sonar detection, the geographical location of the main buildings, streets, and cultural relics in the city has been accurately measured.

With all this detailed information, we can't wait to see what it is. (To be continued......)
