A thousand year old town, epitome of Chongqing. Dear tourist friends, weare now at Ciqikou, an ancient town with thousands of years of vicissitudes.Ciqikou, an ancient town with an area of 1.18 square kilometers, is located inthe outskirts of the city. It was named after the rich production andtransportation of porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Ciqikou has a goodreputation. Do you know what it is?
In fact, according to historical records, Xingzhen began from the Xianpingperiod of emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty to the formation of a commercialwharf with land and water converging in the Ming Dynasty, and reached its peakin the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The ancients praised theprosperity of "thousands of people bow their hands in the daytime and thousandsof bright lights in the night", so it has the reputation of "little Chongqing".Ciqikou was formerly known as Longyin town. It is said that in the early MingDynasty, Emperor Yunwen, the sun of Zhu Yuanzhang, was usurped by his fourthuncle Zhu Di, and then he came to Chongqing as a monk to hide in Baolun temple.There are four words "Longyin Temple" on the wall of Tianwang hall, so theoriginal "Baiyan town" is changed to "Longyin town". In 1918, the local gentryraised funds to establish the "Shu porcelain factory". The porcelain has a goodgeology, a wide variety, a growing reputation, and its products are exported toboth inside and outside the province. Gradually, the name "Ciqikou" replaced"Longyin town".
When I come to Ciqikou, I have to say that its teahouse culture. In thepast, teahouses could be seen everywhere in this millennium old town. In thosedays, sailors, uncle paoge and other people loved to go in and out of thispiece. During the period of accompanying capital, there were more than 100teahouses in this small town, which was characterized by "bookstores teahouse",also known as artists teahouse. It was a place for tea tasting and appreciationof folk art. Especially in the evening, people who can talk on the stage in theteahouse are all top-quality experts, so people call it "pinxiantai".Storytellers are all listed storytellers, to see who has unique skills, who canattract more tea guests, who can get the red envelope. Until now, the teahouseis still a scene of Ciqikou. There are 13 teahouses on the old street over 100meters long. Every teahouse is full, and the ancient style still exists.
Maoxuewang, a famous snack, is known as the "three treasures" of Ciqikou.The buildings in the town have the characteristics of Eastern Sichuan dwellings.The stone road and the dwellings along the street are in harmony. The houses aremore than bamboo and wood structures, with carved beams and painted buildings,decorated windows and coffins. A lane, a family, if you are not careful, youstand on the history of 3000 years. You can feel this feeling everywhere inCiqikou, so Ciqikou is a real living ancient town, which is the famous "a stoneroad, Millennium Ciqikou".
In 1998, Ciqikou was designated as a key protected historic district by theState Council of Chongqing. The government has planned to build Ciqikou into anew tourism district with Bayu cultural characteristics. The ancient town hasopened its doors to welcome visitors from all over the world.
