[Xinyin Ancient Town-Shaxi]

The big ones are hidden in the city, the small ones are hidden in the wild, and the heart is hidden in the Shaxi River.
Shaxi is a place where time can flow back. Time does not move forward here, but recedes back, all the way back to the distant Caravan era ~

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the depth of the history of the ancient road. When you come to Shaxi, you will feel a sense of belonging, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and dreaming of countryside.
The ancient tea-horse road has a long history. Fortunately, there are witnesses guarding this simple land. The big locust trees on Sifang Street, the simple and solemn Xingjiao Temple, and the ancient stage with high stars slowly tell the story of the ancient Shaxi.

Shaxi is an ancient town with a long history of thousands of years, dating back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period more than 2400 years ago. The ancient tombs of Aofengshan and the Huacongshan Copper Mine Site in the east of Shaxi silently tell us that more than 400 years BC, Shaxi formed a bronze smelting and production base centered on the Heiyan River. At that time, the ancestors of Shaxi had a high level of bronze smelting technology and became one of the birthplaces of Yunnan bronze culture.

Sideng Sifang Street is the soul and core of Shaxi, and is the place for commercial transactions in Shaxi. It integrates temples, ancient stages, shops, stone streets, century-old trees, ancient alleys and roads, and village gates. It has been praised by experts from the World Memorial Building Foundation as "the only surviving ancient market on the ancient tea-horse road"!

Historically, Sideng Sifang Street was called "Nantang". In the late Ming Dynasty, it was named after Xingjiao Temple, so it was called Sideng Sifang Street. Temple refers to Xingjiao Temple; Deng is the Bai language, meaning place. Located next to Xingjiao Temple, there is a square street. This is the origin of the name of Sideng Sifang Street.

With white walls and blue tiles in villages and undulating rice fields, Shaxi Yujin Bridge spans the long river of history, extraditing past civilization to both sides of the river. In Shaxi, life is not only one direction, and romance is not only one way. On the way to pursue wind and light, you leave touching moments.

Beilong Village, not far from Yujin Bridge, has a Pioneer Bookstore. It is also a relatively unique place in the local area. It is more suitable for taking photos and checking in. There are a wide variety of books. Find a corner and flip through a good book, and you can spend most of the slow time.

[Dream back to Nanzhao-Weishan]

To the south of western Yunnan, in a corner of Canger, this is the source of the Red River and Weishan, the ancient capital of Nanzhao. The last stop on the trip to Dali is the ancient city of Weishan.
Weishan has a splendid culture. It is the birthplace and ancient capital of Nanzhao State, an important town on the ancient tea-horse road, and a sacred place for the Yi people to seek their roots and worship their ancestors. It was named a "Famous Literature State" by the imperial court in the Qing Dynasty. There is a well-preserved ancient city of Weishan, which is more than 600 years old, 59 cultural relics protection units at all levels, a national-level forest park, a famous Taoist mountain, and a major road for bird migration. It is the birthplace of the Red River.

Smoke curled in the rising sun, and the sunset turned into Qi in the sunset. The ancient city of Weishan does not have a strong commercial atmosphere, no lively and bustling prosperity, but more of a simple fireworks atmosphere.

Strolling through the ancient city, you will find the streets and alleys, scattered academies, and delicious food everywhere. The faint ancient meaning and strong cultural atmosphere are reflected in the genial sunshine. From the ancient color of bricks and tiles, the dream of returning to Nanzhao is reflected in every corner.

Weishan Confucian Temple is located in the west gate of the county. It was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and was built by the local prefect of the Zuo family of Menghua Prefecture. It has undergone many renovations and expansions during the Tianshun and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty and Shunzhi and Kangxi periods of the Qing Dynasty, forming a certain scale. The entrance fee is 5 yuan, so it is still very worth visiting.

The architectural forms of Confucian temples across the country are mostly similar. On the central axis of the courtyard are Panchi, Bridge Lingxing Gate Shifang, Dacheng Gate, Dacheng Hall, Yanta Square, Chongsheng Temple, and Zunjing Pavilion. On the east and west sides, there are also famous official temples, festival filial piety temples, Shepu, etc., a total of 13 courtyards.

There are 24 streets, 16 alleys, and 2 roads in the city. South Street, North Street, Risheng Street and Yuehua Street are the main north-south roads. The street is 6 meters wide and the streets and alleys are crisscrossed. The streets and buildings along the streets retain the chessboard pattern and style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Weishan Mengyang Park is commonly known as the Grand Park. The east of the park used to be the Yanta Square and Chongsheng Temple of the Confucian Temple. There are many ancient trees in the park, among which the cultural courtyard is relatively complete. Many citizens and tourists walk and read books here. It is a good place for leisure and entertainment.

Wenhua Academy, named after its location at the foot of Wenhua, is located in the northeastern corner of the ancient city. The academy covers an area of more than 4000 square meters and consists of a main gate, second gate, panchi, arch bridge, Yanta Square, Kuixing Pavilion, library building and front and backyard wing rooms. The gate is built of bluestone in the style of three archways, and the Kuixing Pavilion is a double-eaves and hill-like building with a width of five rooms. The lower level is surrounded by corridors, and the upper and lower eaves are surrounded by brackets. The ancient buildings still preserved today include Yanfang Tower, Kuixing Pavilion, Library Building and some wing rooms.

The Yuhuangge Building Complex is located on the north side of Wenhua Academy. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. It was destroyed during the Xiantong period of the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt during the Guangxu period. It mainly consists of the gate, front hall, middle hall, rear hall, four entrances, three courtyards and wing rooms. The terrain of one courtyard is higher than the other. The gate is a three-bay archway style single-eaves Xieshiding hilltop building. The front eaves are equipped with Ruyi bucket arches, the rear eaves are made of hanging columns, and the flying eaves are angled. The structure is rigorous and the workmanship is fine. The two gable walls are decorated with brick blockhouse bucket arches, which is ornate.
