Old Luzhou City

The site of Shenzhu City, also known as Laozhu City, is located in Laozhu Village, Shenzhu Town, Hejiang County, Zhangzhou City, Sichuan Province. It is named for its overall landform, such as a large and long arm stretching into the Yangtze River. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuyou was ordered to build a city pond in Shenhuyan in the southern Mongolian army in 1243. It is the most complete and spectacular ancient battlefield site in Sichuan's upper reaches of the Yangtze River during the Mongolian-Song War. The Shenhu City ruins are2.5 kilometers long, 1 km long from the north to the south, and 3365 meters long. There are anal gates in the city, bell and drum towers, foot gates, and hidden doors. There are moats, school dams, and one-character cities outside the city. Surrounded by the Yangtze River on three sides, the river bank is steep and strange stone. Especially the cliffs on the west side, there is no way to climb, only the east side is connected to the land road. In May 2013, the site of Shenzhu City was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the seventh batch of key cultural relics protection units in the country. Strategically, hechuan fishing city in Chongqing is a sister city and a corner of each other, and he is a corner of the Yangtze River, Jialing River, Gongwei Chongqing, and the barrier of the southern Song Dynasty.

Unique geographical location, good location, good environment!

Old Zhangzhou is the world's first stone carving, Jiaotan Town, the countryside, along a winding path along the river, saw the local called a "snake plate turtle". It is said that this is the world's first prototype of the Xuanwu map - Xuanwu stone turtle, engraved in the Ming Dynasty. At first sight, I was shocked. The stone carving was a whole boulder, and a python was on the back of the turtle's belly. It was realistic and vivid. I heard from locals that there was a temple there, or Zhenwu Temple. But now there are three or two farmhouses next to it. The snakes and turtles are hidden in the middle of a tree and bamboo forest, and there are many chickens and ducks around. I checked the relevant records and said that the turtles are 20 meters long and1.88 meters high. They squat on the ground, held their heads up and looked straight to the north. The snake is21.3 meters long and0.32 meters thick. The stone carving is the largest known field basalt stone carving in China. It is said that this is not an ordinary stone carving, it is hidden in the core secrets of the city of God's arm. Its stone carvings fully reflect the hidden expectations of the army and the people of Zhangzhou in the active preparation of the war, and the gods to protect Zhangzhou from the charcoal of foreign enemies. As a Zhangzhou native, although I have some knowledge of the legend of Shen Arm City, the long history and value of this snake and turtle are very little known. There is no official explanation for the introduction next to the stone carving. At least set up a stone monument so that people who come here can understand these long-standing legends. The stone carvings face the turtle and snake, which are facing each other, and the letter spitting out of the snake's head can be seen faintly, and the toes on the toes of the tortoise's feet can be clearly seen. The back saw the tail of the snake bypassing the turtle's belly, naturally on the back of the turtle, the pattern on the back of the turtle can also be seen faintly. The whole shape is integrated and the appearance is round. I believe everyone who went to see it was shocked and regretted. How worried I was that it would fade away in people's memory over time without the protection of the relevant departments. If you want to see the Shen arm city and the snake pan turtle stone carving, you can navigate from Zhangzhou to Shen arm city, or take a river ferry from Huangqi to reach the Shen arm city, and you can reach it along the road on the left. There are no road signs, but the villagers are very clear.
