the United States Time Magazine said "Chengdu, the most Chinese", Chengdu is more energetic and energetic than traditional Xi'an, and retains more ancient Shu culture than modern Shanghai. Recently, a friend happened to call and said that from July, the main airport will be relocated to the distant Jianyang City, and since I still have "flying as I want" in hand, let me seize the time to walk alone and seriously taste the Chengdu I have hurriedly passed through.
On June 1,
my friend specially went to Shuangliu Airport to pick me up, and arranged for me to live near Yipintianxia Station of Metro Line 2, not far from his home, a delicious rattan pepper fish, opened my taste buds, in order to have enough belly to continue to challenge the delicious food in the evening, in the afternoon must find a place to go around, my friend said that the Jinsha ruins are not far away, within walking distance, after the meal to eat and walk.
The Jinsha site is the center of ancient civilization in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River from the 12th century BC to the 7th century BC (about 2600-3200 BC) - the second capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom after Sanxingdui in Guanghan, known as the most significant archaeological discovery in the 21st century, it resurrects a lost history, reproduces the mysterious ancient Shu culture and unique bronze civilization, has great significance for the study of the origin, development and decline of Shu culture, and is a cornerstone monument for the study of ancient Shu civilization. In particular, strong evidence was found to solve the mystery of the sudden demise of Sanxingdui civilization. The Jinsha site and the prehistoric city site group of the Chengdu Plain, the Sanxingdui site, and the Warring States ship coffin tombs jointly construct the four stages of the development and evolution of ancient Shu civilization, which provides important evidence for the establishment of the theory of "pluralism and unity" of the origin of ancient Chinese civilization. Preliminary List of China's World Cultural Heritage".
two main buildings of the Jinsha Site Museum are the relic hall and the exhibition hall, both of which adopt the way of slopes, symbolizing the rising of the Jinsha site, the relic hall is nearly circular, the exhibition hall is square, and the circle symbolizes the cosmology of the ancient Chinese people's round place, and the two buildings are distributed on the north and south banks of the Modi River, complementing each other and integrating with the garden area. The Relics Museum is the excavation site of the large-scale sacrificial activity site of the Jinsha site, and is currently the most complete, longest-lasting and richest sacrificial relics in China. Since the discovery of the Jinsha site, tens of thousands of precious cultural relics have been unearthed, which is the most densely populated ivory (tons) in the world, the richest number of gold and jade sites unearthed in the same period, noble and brilliant gold, mysterious and strange bronzes, brightly colored jade and vivid and realistic stone tools, all of which are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors of ancient Shu, especially the gold ornaments of the sun god bird, gold masks, ten-section green jade cong, bronze standing people and thousands of rare treasures with ancient Shu art style. It shows us a glorious ancient Shu civilization 3,000 years ago.
Shang Zhou Sun God Bird Gold Ornament
The "Sun God Bird" is the pinnacle of the golden art of the ancestors of ancient Shu, the treasure of the town hall of the Jinsha site, and one of the top cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad in our country, ranking among the nine national treasures in China. Unearthed in 2001 in the sacrificial area of the Jinsha site, it was announced as a Chinese cultural heritage symbol in 2005, with a diameter of 12.5 cm and a thickness of only 0.02 cm, made of very thin gold leaf, with a gold content of 94.2%, the gold ornament pattern is divided into two circles inside and outside, the inner circle rotates the fireball symbolizes the sun, and there are twelve equally distant clockwise rotating rays of light around it, representing the cycle of twelve months, and the outer circle is connected by the heads and feet of four divine birds that spread their wings and fly, flying endlessly around the sun. The direction of flight is opposite to the light of the inner sun, which is exactly in line with the legend of the "golden crow negative sun" in the ancient myth "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the ancient Shu people wantonly conveyed their worship of the gods with smart images.
Shang and Zhou Dajin masks
were unearthed in the sacrificial area of the Jinsha site in 2007, later than other cultural relics, and should be an important ceremonial vessel used in the Jinsha Kingdom to hold large-scale sacrificial activities, and it is the most intact and largest gold mask found in China, with a gold content of more than 80%, and its production process has reached a very high level. The overall three-dimensional face is 19.5 cm wide and 11 cm high, which is equivalent to the width of an adult male face, with a flat forehead, prominent eyebrows, large eyes, high nose bridge, wide mouth slightly open, ears outstretched, and a solemn and majestic expression, revealing the spirit of a king, which is basically the same as the bronze mask unearthed at the Sanxingdui site in terms of modeling style.
Neolithic Liangzhu Culture Ten Sections of Qingyu Cong
Jinsha Site, it is not the original of the Jinsha people, but from the Liangzhu culture thousands of miles away, Zhejiang's "Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins" has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the two sites span thousands of years, but how can Liangzhu's jade cong suddenly appear in the distant Jinsha? The jade cong is 22.2 cm high, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, square on the outside and round on the inside, running through a hole in the middle, the surface is emerald green translucent, the inside and outside of the vessel are polished and polished, the jade is smooth and smooth, the whole body is divided into ten sections, and at the turn of each section, you can see the divine face pattern decoration, which is exactly the same as the jade cong decoration unearthed in Liangzhu, the face of the god and the beast is like a symbol symbolizing the divine power hierarchy at that time, and it is also the iconic pattern of the Liangzhu culture, which belongs to the typical decoration characteristics of the jade cong in the late Liangzhu culture, and its carving technique is almost exactly the same as the production method of Liangzhu jade, and the craftsmanship is complex, which is a veritable piece "Imported Gifts".
Shang Zhou copper stand

The garden area hides a 10,000-year-old ebony forest, which is a trace of the vicissitudes of time, a witness to the great changes in the environment, and a characteristic landscape composed of more than 60 ebony unearthed from the Jinsha site and Chengdu area, with its own high cold temperament, unique in China, these ebony have a history of 3,000-12,000 years. Ebony refers to all kinds of precious ancient trees buried under the ancient riverbed for thousands of years, not all ancient trees can be transformed into ebony, generally with fragrance or sterilization characteristics of tree species can form ebony, such as nanmu, red camellia, camphor tree, they have gone through a long-term reaction process such as physics and chemistry, forming a "living fossil" like stone but not stone, like wood but not wood, the wood is hard and delicate, from the surface to the core is jet-black, the texture is clear, very precious, as the saying goes, "the family has ten thousand taels of gold, not as good as ebony".

The child was overwhelmed, lost his center of gravity, and fell alive from the high shelf, it looked up aggrievedly, but still failed to get any attention from its mother, so it had to twist its buttocks and get up and find its own playground again, this scene was too funny, causing us to laugh again and again.
Of course, the most attractive thing is the baby panda in the delivery room, the baby panda in the warmer is pink like a little mouse, The slightly older panda babies are also soft, all soft and cute, completely capturing your heart (online borrowing picture).

The Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, which was built at the end of King Zhao of Qin (about 256 BC ~ 251 BC), was organized and built by Li Bing, the governor of Shu County, and created a new era in the history of ancient Chinese water conservancy, which is the world's oldest and only surviving, still in continuous use, characterized by damless water diversion, although it is not as huge as the Great Wall, but the shock in the history of human civilization is absolutely not inferior, Li Bing is also ranked as the first of the 100 scientists in ancient China, more than 2,000 years have passed in a flash, Although the mountains and rivers have changed several times, Dujiangyan is still majestic, magical, and still plays an endless role in flood control and irrigation, nourishing the 10,000 acres of fertile land in the country of Tianfu, and the irrigation area has reached more than 30 counties and cities, covering an area of nearly 10 million acres.
Entering the scenic spot, strolling forward, hearing the sound of gurgling water, following the sound of the water, only to see a circular fountain, a column of water sprayed out into an arch, poured on the iron pillars lying on the ground, splashing with splashes, these lying iron pillars are called lying iron, which is a sign of the depth of the riverbed of the Neijiang River every year, and it is said that Li Bing buried a stone horse under the bed of the Neijiang River when he built the weir, as the standard for the depth of the beach every year, and later evolved into a horizontal iron, and the existing 4 horizontal irons are the fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and the third year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. Buried in the sixteenth year of the Republic of China and 1994, known as the "water divine needle" of Dujiangyan, the four lying irons seen at the fountain are replicas, and their authentic products are still buried under the bed of the Neijiang River, hidden in the torrential river water, the fountain is surrounded by rafts and stone bamboo cages, used as cofferdams, whether it is bamboo cages or rafts, they are good tools for water control, and have been used for more than 2,000 years, reproducing the superb wisdom of the ancients to use local materials to block the river and intercept the flow.
There is a longyin ditch on the left and right sides of the Weir Gong Road, a total of 248 large and small dragon heads spit water into the ditch, the water in the ditch comes from the Min River, direct flow to the bottom of the lying iron, the Zhangsong ginkgo on the right is 1800 years old, still lush and leafy, full of greenery, in 2004 when competing for the "King of Tianfu Tree", won the honor of "Top Ten Famous Stakes", it is also the prototype of the ginseng fruit tree in the 80th edition of "Journey to the West" in "Stealing Ginseng Fruit", The tree is 6.3 meters high, the widest circumference is up to 5 meters, the bottom of the trunk stands side by side, and the branches grow horizontally after merging into one at a height of 1 meter.
The water conservancy project lasted eight years, consisting of the diversion of Yuzui, Feisha Weir, Baopingou and other parts, Yuzui Diversion Diversion Diversion Diversion mainly divides the Minjiang River water into two, Feisha Weir spillway discharges excess flood and quicksand into the outer river, Baopian mouth is responsible for the control of the water diversion outlet self-regulation, is the main switch of the artesian irrigation canal system, the three major projects complement each other, are integrated, coordinated operation, and jointly play the magical role of water diversion irrigation, flood diversion and disaster reduction, sand discharge and siltation prevention, so that the concept of human water control from "avoiding water damage" to "seeking water conservancy". Water control capabilities have been unprecedentedly innovated and developed.
case of no explosives at that time, if it takes at least 30 years to chisel with a hammer, Li Bing came up with a method of boiling water to pour water, using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to make the rock burst, speed up the progress of the project, and finally carved out a mountain pass 20 meters wide, 40 meters high, and 80 meters long in Yulei Mountain eight years later - "Treasure Bottle Mouth", The mountain left in the center of the river, that is, the stone pile separated by the excavation of Yulei Mountain, is called "Li Dui", Fulong Temple is built on the terrain of the ridge of Lidui Mountain low in front and high in the back, suspended on three sides, the excavation of Yulei Mountain balances the flow of river water on the east and west sides of the Min River, which not only alleviates the flood disaster in the west, but also relieves the drought in the east, which is the key link in flood control and the first step of the Dujiangyan project.
Yuzui Water Diversion Project
The main canalization method of the Dujiangyan project, in order to enable the Minjiang River to flow eastward smoothly and maintain a certain flow, Li Bing built a diversion weir in the Min River, the front end of the diversion weir resembles a "fish mouth", dividing the upstream rushing river into two: the west is the outer river, which is the main flow of the Min River, mainly used for flood drainage, and the east is the inner river, which flows into the mouth of the bottle, which is an artificial diversion channel, mainly used for irrigation, the inner river is narrow and deep, the outer river is wide and shallow, and the water level is low in the dry season, 60% The river water flows into the inner river with a low riverbed, ensuring the water use of the Chengdu Plain, and the water level in the flood season is high, and most of the river water is discharged from the outer river with a wide river surface.
Flying Sand Weir Spill Drainage Project
In order to further control the amount of water flowing into the mouth of the treasure bottle and prevent the water volume in the irrigation area from fluctuating between large and small, Li Bing built a flat trough for flood diversion and a "flying sand weir" spillway at the end of the Yuzui diversion embankment, near the mouth of the treasure bottle, and there was a curve in front of the spillway, and the river formed a circulation, and when the river water exceeded the top of the weir, the flood overflowed through the flat trough and flowed into the outer river, ensuring that the inner river irrigation area was protected from flooding, and at the same time, the water flow flowing through the flying sand weir into the outer river produced a whirlpool, and the sediment and even boulders would be thrown over the flying sand weir under centrifugal action. Effectively reduce the deposition of sediment around the mouth of the vase. In order to observe and control the water volume of the Neijiang River, Li Bing carved three stone pile figures and placed them in the water, determining the water level with "dry water does not flood enough, flood does not exceed shoulders", and chiseled stone horses and placed them in the center of the river, as the standard for washing the beach when the water volume is the minimum every year.
The Anlan Rope Bridge on the Yuzui Diversion Dike of Dujiangyan, built before the Song Dynasty, is the oldest existing rope bridge in China, known as the "Five Great Bridges of Ancient China", with a total length of 261 meters, flying over the north and south of the Min River, originally supported by wooden stone piers, hanging across the river with thick bamboo cables, paving wooden planks as the bridge deck, with bamboo ropes as fences on both sides, steep and firm, people walking on it, swinging violently, swaying left and right, looking down at the rapids and dangerous shoals, river valley sand and gravels, thrilling and exciting, the construction of this rope bridge is a civilian couple, so it is also known as the "husband and wife bridge", It contains the beauty of "walking on the bridge, sweet to permanent".

If the hot pot Sichuan cuisine is too formal, then there are hundreds of ways to satisfy you with snacks in Chengdu, and hot pot alone can derive countless delicious flavors: too few people can't eat too much, there are skewers; it is too troublesome to cook while eating, there are cold pot skewers; It's too hot and I don't want to eat hot, so there is a bowl of chicken; Eating alone, there are vegetables; I don't like oil soup dripping, there is a dry pan...... In Chengdu, you don't have to worry about what to eat every day, you just need to worry about how to lose weight if you get fat? ! Unknowingly, it's time to leave Chengdu again, and I am still reluctant to give up the food here, so I gave up the hotel breakfast today, just to go to the roadside stall to taste the market snack I have been thinking about day and night - pot helmet. Juntun pot helmet, with a long history, famous inside and outside Sichuan, layers of crispy skin, pieces of skin slag in the mouth, every bite is fragrant, crispy and crispy, fragrant but not greasy, crispy on the surface, soft on the inside, pepper mixed with the aroma of pork, mouth meat, lips and teeth fragrant, delicious has made people have no time to take care of the image, hurry up and eat it hot.
Taking advantage of the small half day before going to the airport, I couldn't help but go to Kuanzhai Alley and Wuhou Ancestral Hall to walk around again. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the night, I still like the ancient alleys in the early morning, this is what I think it looks like, antique, quiet and romantic, slow strolling, the streets are simple in shape, exquisite design, a combination of Chinese and Western buildings, it is worth stopping at any time to think about it.
Kailu, one of the most iconic doors in the wide and narrow alleys, the courtyard gate is made of special green bricks to form an arched house door with an arc, the door opening is embedded with a traditional Chinese stone plaque, the plaque is carved with large seal Yang carved "Kailu", and the oval pattern built above the stone plaque represents the high-hanging "evil mirror", which is intended to suppress all kinds of demons and keep the family safe forever.The horse tethering stone is located on the old wall at the head of No. 32 in the narrow alley, an antiquity of the Qing Dynasty, is a symbolic manifestation of northern culture in western Sichuan, about 1.2 meters above the ground, weathered and mottled, is one of the only three remaining horse tethering stones in the wide and narrow alley, now covered with tempered glass to protect it, and the tethering stone holding the stone horse next to it is a replica. When Chengdu rebuilt the wide and narrow alleys, 40,000 bricks of different eras were collected, and on the south side of the alley, these bricks were used to build brick walls along the street, and the brick walls were inlaid with spray painting photos, and there were reliefs in the spray painting photos, building a brick cultural wall and folk photo wall that displayed the history, culture, and folk customs of the old Chengdu, which was the reproduction of the old Chengdu in the market, and the first museum in our country to use bricks as a carrier. Each wall stack is engraved with a historical memory.
I believe that every tourist who comes to Wuhou Temple to check in will not miss the red wall bamboo forest here, on both sides of Huiling Gate, two red walls flank the road, winding and extending, twisting and turning, in the turning place always makes people have a deep feeling of corridor, the tile eaves on the red wall have grown moss under the waste of time, the sunlight reflects the mottled tree shadows on the wall through the bamboo forest, red, green, and vaguely visible blue sky and white clouds, the three tones are so harmoniously in the same picture, walking in the shadow of the red wall bamboo, as if traveling to ancient times, Feel the beauty of tranquility in this quiet morning, which has a unique taste (online borrowing picture).
How comfortable and lazy life is in Chengdu, just look at the people living here, you know that the whole body exudes a leisurely temperament, they hold an attitude of "it's none of your business" at any time, live their own comfortable life, and also create a word called "Bashi" to describe themselves, they must enter Sichuan, old and not out of Shu, life needs rhythm, a "slow" word, has achieved leisure Chengdu, Chengdu has a magic that attracts you, so that you don't want to leave when you come.
