What are the gold patterns on street lamps, manhole covers, and buses?
——Sun God Bird Jinsha Site Museum
Many friends who come to Chengdu for the first time can see a round of golden patterns all over the city, and some people will always ask Xiong Zai what it is? If you go to the Jinsha Site Museum, you will know immediately. This is actually the "C position" of the golden sand, the gold jewelry of the sun god bird.
On December 30, 2011, the "Sun God Bird" gold jewelry pattern became the core pattern of Chengdu's urban image identity. This round gold jewelry, which is only 0.02 cm thick, condenses 3,000 years of time, and the four three-legged golden birds connected end to end tell the ancient legend of "Golden Crow Negative Sun".
3200 years ago, Chengdu was not called Chengdu or Jinguancheng. At your feet, there was once a prosperous ancient Shu kingdom.
Whether you live or travel in Chengdu, whether you are in Chengdu or not, I want you to understand its past. Go and see for yourself the superb craftsmanship of ancient Shu craftsmen, the thousand-year-old ebony forest, and the deer chewing grass.

Why is Chengdu called Jinguancheng?
——Lights are always bright Jinli
>Bashu was one of the first regions to develop sericulture, silk control, and brocade weaving technology, and as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the cloth produced by Shu State was already famous among the princes. Shu brocade has two meanings, one refers to the colorful brocade woven with silk in Chengdu, and the other refers to the general term for silk brocade produced in Sichuan.
After the development of the silk industry in Shudi, a large number of its products started from Chengdu, the center of Shudi, entered East Asia to the Middle East through Yunnan, and circulated to the Mediterranean coastal countries, forming the Southern Silk Road. During the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial court set up a special Shu brocade management agency in Chengdu, and set up "Jin Guan" management.
Since then, Chengdu has also been known as Jinguan City.
In the Tang Dynasty, Jinguancheng was a well-known nickname for Chengdu, and it was not uncommon in the poems and songs of that time. "Where to find the ancestral hall of Chengxiang, the cypress forest outside Jinguan City", "Look at the red and wet place in the morning, and the flowers are heavy in the official city".
At that time, the place where the brocade weavers lived was called Jinli, and the current Jinli was rebuilt according to this allusion. Although the commercial development in recent years has been criticized by countless tourists, in the dead of night, the bustling crowd disperses, and the lanterns are like flowers, as if they meet the initial appearance of Jinguancheng.
Tips:
Jinli Ancient Street is open 24 hours a day, and the brilliant lantern group closes at 22:00
Merchant business hours: 9:00~22:00 (except bars)
Jinli Ancient Street is a free scenic spot, no need to buy tickets (except during temple fairs)

Is it useful to go to Wenshu Monastery to make a wish?
—— Da Yin Yin in the City Wenshu Monastery
>Friends often ask me whether to make a wish to go to Wenshu Monastery or Zhaojue Temple, and I usually advise him to try both. The small is hidden in the mountains, the big is hidden in the city, in the bustling city of the mule and horse market, the Wenshu Monastery is quiet in the noise, impetuous and static, only a wall away.
Wenshu Monastery is the first of the four major Zen forests in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, and the all-wooden structure is simple and magnificent. The red walls and green tiles are covered with fragrant mist, and what rises is the piety of the monks and the wishes of tourists.
A door is separated, the door is clean and the door is prosperous outside.
Thereis even a couplet in front of the Hall of the Three Great Scholars:
Doit when you see it, put it down when you do it, what's wrong with it?
Wisdom is born from awareness, awareness is born from freedom, birth or non-birth.
Many people come to pay homage to Wenshu Monastery and burn incense and pray, whether it is effective or not, the moment they step in, it is fate.
Tips:
The door is open from 8:30 to 17:00 every day
Protective measures:
Please bring your valid ID card outside the temple gate to cooperate with the security guards and volunteer guidelines
fortemperature checking, health code verification, identity registration, proper disinfection, and wearing a mask at the mountain gate and in the temple throughout the process
Inorder to ensure everyone's safety, all public facilities in the temple are disinfected twice a day in strict accordance with the normalized epidemic prevention and control requirements, and we also hope that your "mask" will not leave your face.

Sir, tens of millions of spacious buildings have now been realized
- have you ever seen it? Du Fu in the thatched cottage
In 759 AD, Du Fu wandered in Chengdu to avoid the "Anshi Rebellion" and went through upheaval and displacement. Finally, I spent 4 years of warm time in Jinguan City.
"The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the door is only open for you today." Standing where he once stood, 1400 years away, looking at him. Looking up at the high-rise buildings, the original "tens of millions of spacious buildings, sheltering the poor scholars of the world...... has now been realized.
After Du Fu left, the thatched cottage collapsed. "Thinking of the person and becoming the place", the poet Wei Zhuang at the end of the Tang Dynasty found the ruins of the thatched cottage and rebuilt the thatched hut, and then the thatched cottage was rebuilt and repaired several times, and there is today's Du Fu thatched cottage.
Find a good afternoon to go to Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and then go to Huanhua Creek to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, which is also very good~

Have you ever heard of the poetess Xue Tao?
——After the Maolin Xiuzhu, the heron returned to Wangjiang Tower
Wangjiang Tower was built to commemorate Xue Tao, a female poet of the Tang Dynasty and one of the four talented women in Shu. In 768 AD, Xue Tao was born and showed proud talent at the age of eight. She loved bamboo all her life and was upright, but she was demoted to Sichuan for offending the powerful for her remarks, leaving behind more than 500 works.
In832 AD, Xue Tao was buried on the site of the present-day Wangjiang Tower. A thousand years later, Wangjiang Tower still preserves the ancient well where Xue Tao made paper, Xue Tao's cemetery, and Xue Tao's portraits and poetry collections.
Wangjiang Tower is lush and bamboo, the ancient Jinjiang River reflects both sides, watching the setting sun return by the railing, and the egrets hovering in the bamboo forest. It is unique to the Tang and Song dynasties, the backbone and romance of the literati.

The most suitable place for Hanfu to check in
- entering the park is both a painting pool
There is no more suitable place for Hanfu to enjoy autumn than the painting pool, and the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has 7 episodes, all of which are filmed here.
On a sunny day in late autumn, the ancient ginkgo trees compete to become golden, and the pavilions, pavilions and ponds under the trees reflect each other. If you don't take a picture, it's really a waste of autumn time.
I have never seen Lu You's "small fishing rock by the pond, hanging the rod several degrees to the setting sun", but I have seen the late autumn of Jinguancheng, as warm as the setting sun. Lu You once served as an official in Shuzhou, writing more than 120 poems, of which more than 30 are related to the painting pond, and under the golden autumn ginkgo tree, it is impossible to distinguish the gentleness of the sprinkled gold, whether it is the afterglow of the sunset or the fallen leaves flying.

Don't get me wrong, this is the Anshun Covered Bridge
- yes, the one next to the Jiuyan Bridge
"Wow, the Nine Eyes Bridge is so beautiful~"
"That's the Anshun Covered Bridge! The one next to it is the Nine Eyes Bridge!!
Many friends who have just come to Chengdu can't tell the difference between the Anshun Covered Bridge and the Jiuyan Bridge, although they are close, but they are actually two different bridges.
When Marco Polo traveled around the world, he saw the prosperity of Hongqiao, which was rebuilt during the Qianlong period and had the name of Anshun. Next to the covered bridge is the famous Jiuyanqiao Bar Street in Chengdu, and not far away is Lan Kwai Fong, which sings every night. The Anshun Covered Bridge is antique in the drunken night, which is the unique softness of Jinguancheng in the prosperity of Chengdu.
The Anshun Covered Bridge accompanies the slowly flowing Jinjiang River, reflecting the neon lights of the city and the passing of pedestrians.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Zhenjiang Bridge to Qianlong was renamed the Jiuyan Bridge, but the ancient Jiuyan Bridge was demolished in 1992 due to flood discharge, and 1.9 kilometers away, there are nine holes under the reconstructed new Jiuyan Bridge, which are made of antique bluestone blocks, and the image of the Ming Dynasty nine-hole stone arch bridge can still be seen. From slow traffic to heavy traffic, the Nine Eyes Bridge supports the changes of time and also holds up the fireworks of the city.
These places listed by Xiong Zai for you, whether you are tired of going or have never been there, as a sign that accompanies the development and growth of this city, They have unusual historical significance.Together with thousands of ordinary people living here, they built the former Jinguan City and today's Chengdu.
The recasting of historical sites is the process of modern people looking back on history, and it is precisely because of these attractions that we have the opportunity to travel through the thousand-year history of Chengdu and understand the changes in the city. Even if they are crowded and face commercial trade-offs, I still want you to be the 1% who understand the land under your feet.
The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortals
Colleagues from the Northeast wore snow boots and big padded jackets
while shouting that it was so cold, and sighed that Chengdu was good~
From second-tier cities to new first-tier cities
,Chengdu is the country of abundance as always
,and it is also the champion of the "China's Happiest Cities Ranking" for 12 consecutive years
Next, Xiong Zai will take you to see the prosperity and market
of Chengdu
today [1]
Are Chengdu people not going to work?
——Time Wastes People's Park
No matter who comes to Chengdu, Xiong Zai will take him to People's Park to experience Chengdu's "tea culture".
A cup of gaiwan tea, a plate of melon seeds, and a piece of dragon gate array are the simplest and authentic way to start a comfortable life in Chengdu.
People's Park was once Shaocheng Park, when there were six teahouses, Heming, Pillow Flow, Luyin Pavilion, Yongju, Shedehui and Cultural Tea Garden, Only the boss Heming Tea House still has the same style. Especially when I go to drink tea on weekdays, the tea garden is still full of people, and I can't help but wonder - is everyone not going to work?
That's right, this is Xiong Zai's ideal retirement life.
Mahjong culture, hidden in the depths of the alleys, chess and card culture, is more commonBringing a deck of playing cards with you wherever you go is a small tacit understanding that Chengdu people have in common. The time spent with gaiwan tea and chess cards constitutes a vivid epitome of Chengdu-style life in People's Park.
In today's streaming media on mobile phones, traditional media has gradually disappeared, but in People's Park, you can still buy a copy of the "Chengdu Daily" of the day, and pay attention to national affairs with retired uncles and aunts.

Chengdu's Shaocheng, how many times do you read?
——Inheritance and tolerance of wide and narrow
alleys
Chengdu has three major historical districts, like prosperity, Xiong Zai recommends Daci Temple, like quaintness, Xiong Zai recommends Wenshu Monastery, if you are not picky, go to Kuanzhai Alley.
It is said that Beijingers never go to Nanluogu Alley, but Chengdu people still have to be dragged to Kuanzhai Alley by friends from other places. In the antique courtyard of green and dai bricks, you can not only see the early Western-style buildings located on the ancient streets of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, but also see the European beer studios next to folk shops such as Sichuan opera face changing.
If you know a little about the history of Kuanzhai Alley, you will not be surprised. The Qingyang area, where the wide and narrow alleys are located, is located on the ruins of Shaocheng built by Qin Zhangyi in the Warring States period, so it is called "Shaocheng". Shao, meaning small, less city, compared to Jinguancheng is a small city.
300 years ago, Kangxi quelled the Zhun Ge'er Rebellion, selected thousands of soldiers in Chengdu to garrison, and built the city, which is equivalent to the "imperial palace" located in the southwest, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty was lonely, the people could come and go freely, so there was a grand occasion of descendants of bannermen, dignitaries, peddlers and pawns living in the city, and the inclusive streets of Mancheng also continued to the current wide and narrow alleys.
When you first come to Chengdu, Xiong Zai recommends that you take a look at the wide alleys and narrow alleys, see the "solitary book" of the northern hutong culture in the south, and see the folk customs in the well alleys in Chengdu; If you have lived in Chengdu for a long time, you may have already drunk tea in the People's Park next to it.
Tips:
Opening hours: All day
Admission: Free
Address: Jinhe Intersection, Qingyang District, Chengdu
Most ofthe old buildings and old Chengdu culture in the wide alley are the same, the narrow alley is mainly Western-style leisure, and the brick cultural wall of the well alley brings together Chengdu folk customs.

To be a market, but also to have a heritage
- artistic style blooms Chengdu Academy
of Painting
Maybe you have been to the wide and narrow alleys many times, but you may not know that there is such a quiet mansion hidden at the entrance of the noisy scenic spot.
In the golden autumn, the bright ginkgo trees at the door are covered with gold, and the houses in western Sichuan that enter and exit three times are the all-encompassing Chengdu Painting Academy.
In the typical courtyard buildings of western Sichuan houses in the late Qing Dynasty, the style of works ranges from Soviet-style realism, to local art, to contemporary art, The field of Chinese painting is inclusive with the field of Western painting, and there are also people from Xialiba in the city, and the city is not only sunny and snowy.
A touch of tranquility in the downtown area is exactly what Chengdu is good at.

Do you love the prosperity of Taikoo Li or the simplicity of Daci Temple?
——The thousand-year-old temple is hidden in the bustle of Daci Temple
>When he came to Chengdu, no one could escape Taikoo Li. This is one of the most prosperous business districts in Chengdu, located in the city center, shopping, food, leisure, convenience, what you want, here can give you. In addition to the breakfast shop, the Daci Temple hidden in Taikoo Li opened earlier. It was founded in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and was extremely prosperous in the Tang and Song dynasties.
The thousand-year-old temple in the red and green is surrounded by high-rise buildings, which is antique and indisputable. The temple records Xuanzang's life and deeds, provides vegetarian fasting, and there is a teahouse, separated by a door, there are people outside the door, and there is a quiet place inside the door.
There was once a picture of young people queuing up to buy phones at Apple's new product launch, and believers queuing up at the gate of Daci Temple to enter. Daci Temple has witnessed the changes of the times in the Chunxi Road business district, with a history of more than 1,600 years, carrying the wishes of countless tourists.

Why is Chengdu TV Tower called 339?
——Looking at the prosperity from a distance, looking at the market up close
>There are many landmark buildings in Chengdu, which can represent Chengdu, and the Chengdu TV Tower ranks first in my heart. I once took a photo of a TV tower at home, but my friends from other places mistakenly thought it was in Shanghai. The Oriental Pearl of Shanghai has achieved the prosperity of the Bund and a sense of alienation, and Xiong Zai loves this one in Chengdu more, which is much more pyrotechnic. Its full name is Tianfu Panda Tower, because the tower is 339 meters high, so its business district is also called "Chengdu 339". The base of the TV tower is supported by 4 huge concrete pillars, which means "Sichuan", and the shape of the mushrooms at the tip is "Gaiwan tea" super plus.
Built on the edge of the Jinjiang River, there are no high-rise buildings around, more old-style residential houses, and the Tianfu Panda Tower is lit up on time every night. It guards the life atmosphere of Chengdu's old town.
You can also play in the 339 business district without going up to the tower, there are many Bashi restaurants near Mengchaiwan Street and "Xiangheli" Street to eat, drink tea by the Fu River in the afternoon, listen to songs and drink at 339 in the evening, and feel the slow lifestyle of "post-90s old Chengdu".

Chengdu is gentle
- the sunset sprinkles gold, Longquan Mountain
Xiong Zai went to college in Chengdu, and when an old classmate returned to Chengdu after a few years of being beaten by society, the first thing he said was, "The wind in Chengdu is gentle."
No city can be as gentle as Chengdu, she accepts personalized dressing, can hold the fun and dreams of young people, there is the cool gentleness of ice powder in the evening in summer, the hot tenderness of hoof flower soup in the early morning of winter, the tenderness of sesame oil in hot pot, and the gentleness of soy milk in barbecue and skewers.
Of course, there is also the winter sunshine in Chengdu. The earthquake will not let the people of Chengdu go downstairs, but the sun will come out.
I have seen the quiet sunset of Qinglong Lake, the warm sunset of Longquan Mountain, and the brilliant sunset of Shuangliu Airport. Gentleness is the evening breeze, the red walls and falling trees, and the atmosphere of the market in your eyes.

Howmany of these landmark buildings have you seen?
——Prosperous at night, Chengdu
A year of gathering , two years to Chengyi, three years to Chengdu.
In recent years, there have been more and more Internet celebrity landmark buildings in Chengdu, such as the Global Center, Wuchazi Bridge, "Mushroom Bridge" (full name: Lao Chengren Road Cross Jinjiang Pedestrian Bridge), Jiaozi Interchange, etc......
When the lanterns are first on, you can feel the pulse of a city, and see Li Bai's "nine days open a Chengdu, thousands of households and thousands of doors into the picture".
Today's Chengdu is an effort from ancient
timesto the present It is also the living place of 20 million people,
countless faint flashes of light, piled up into thousands of lights, countless
small thoughts, and gathered into a long river of history.
3,000 years of changes in the times have created today's country of abundance, and the efforts of 20 million ordinary lives have created an extraordinary Chengdu.
In 2020, Chengdu became the only Chinese city to be selected in the list of "The Happiest Cities in the World". Prior to this, Chengdu had won the championship of the "China's Happiest Cities Ranking" for 12 consecutive years.
Chengdu is not an Internet celebrity city, let alone a tourist city, but a city full of life.
The bear boy can't get out, I will continue to live here, waiting for you to come to see the country of heaven."
