Ride Guangxi 15-Yulong River
On the third day, on January 27, 2023, I rode along the Yulong River to Fuli Bridge, and then climbed the slope with the curious children to the homestay in Xianggong Mountain.
I set out from the hotel 43 kilometers in the morning.
Curious and I rode a bike.
The three adults rented a battery car, which is usually 30 yuan a day, doubled during the Spring Festival.
The price we inquired about in Yangshuo last day was higher.
Go south-west along Xiangshui Road, 5km to the Yulong River.
Yulong River was called Anle Water in ancient times.
It is said that a scholar who had been studying in Yongle years was unable to cross the river due to rainstorm.
A huge dragon in the river carried him across the river.
Later, the scholar won the first prize in the gold list.
In order to feel the kindness of the dragon, a bridge was built at the place where the dragon met, named Yulong Bridge, and Anle Water was renamed Yulong River.
There are many places in Guilin that contain the word “dragon”.
Dragon is the totem of the Han nationality, not the worship of the local tribes.
Only when the Han nationality has effectively controlled the place and a considerable number of immigrants have moved in, can these names with obvious characteristics of the Han nationality appear.
The time should be after the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The essence section of Yulong River Scenic Spot is between Yulong Bridge and Gongnong Bridge, more than 15 kilometers long.
After meeting Jinbao River under the Gongnong Bridge, it is renamed Tianjia River, turning to the northeast, and flowing into the Lijiang River at the foot of Shutong Mountain.
The Gongnong Bridge should be the former site of Erlong Bridge recorded by Xu Xiake.
The name of the bridge means that there was also a river name with the word “dragon” in the Jinbao River at that time.
Yulong River may be the sound turn of Yulong River, and Jinbao River may be called Jinlong River.
There are 28 weirs and dams on the Yulong River, which should be under the water during the flood season.
Now it is dry and becomes a land bridge.
It can travel to and from both banks and become a camera punch point.
After crossing Shuangliu Yidu and arriving at Jiuxian Wharf, there is a perforated beam bridge across the Yulong River.
Drifting bamboo rafts pass through the bridge hole.
There is a Xiandu Pavilion on the opposite bank.
There is a bridge after crossing.
The same thing is that crossing the river is always at these points.
Jiu County refers to Guiyi County in the Tang Dynasty.
Mark the location of Guiyi Ancient City Site on the map, and see a city wall site.
The wall soil seems to be steamed and yellow, which is different from the surrounding soil.
The scope of the city site is not large.
It may be a military castle within half a mile.
There is no sign of cultural protection at the site of the city wall.
It is uncertain what age it is.
In the fourth year of Tang Wude (621), Li Jing assisted Li Xiaogong to send troops to Jingxiang, and it took only two months to pacify the forces of Nanliang Xiaoxiao and shake the Jiangnan.
In November of that year, Li Jing led his troops across the Nanling Mountain Mountains to Guizhou, where they sent people to call on each other.
Everywhere they went, they watched the wind and surrendered.
Lingnan Haoemirates all sent their children to see each other to show their obedience.
Li Jing was awarded the title of an official, so “Lingnan knew the peace”.
Li Jing set up the governor’s office of Guizhou in the northern part of Guangxi, and set Guiyi County in Yangshuo County.
Guiyi County is meant to return from afar.
In the imperial era, one of the most embarrassing things for the emperor and the court is Guiyi County.
Guiyi County should be used to appease a certain nobleman in Guizhou.
In the first year of Zhenguan (627), it was withdrawn to Yixian County and merged into Yangshuo County.
Guiyi County has been in existence for only 6 years, and the reason is unknown.
It is likely that the head of the Haoemi County did not obey.
Jiuxian Village is three miles to the east of the site.
The surname of the village is Li, and the main house of Li’s ancestral temple is Jingzhao Hall.
It probably means that the family moved from Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, implying that the ancestors of the first move were the soldiers who followed Li Jingnan on the expedition? There is a monument in the hall in the 27th year of the Republic of China, which records that the ancestor Li Yinglong lived in Yangshuocheng, and his son Li Sijin moved to Jiuxian Village.
It was passed on for the 13th generation, which was pushed from the 27th year of the Republic of China to the 13th generation, nearly 300 years, equivalent to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
At that time, the Nanming and Manchu dynasties fought repeatedly in northern Guangxi, and Li Sijin should have avoided disasters.
The Hall of Fame is General Li Xingshu of the 12th generation, who was born in 1893 and participated in the Northern Expedition.
At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the Deputy Chief of Staff and Chief of Staff of the Fifth Theater, assisted Li Zongren in commanding the Taierzhuang Campaign, and later transferred to the post of the commander of the 170th Division of the 40th Army to participate in the Kunlunguan Campaign.
He began to serve as the commander of the 46th Army in 1941, and participated in the Guiliu Battle in the later stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he led his army to accept the surrender of the.
He died in Guilin in March 1949.
The ancestral halls are dark and old, which seems to be a common phenomenon.
Ancestral halls around the country are only bustling on special days, and are usually very lonely.
Several elders sat around the corridor outside the gate of the ancestral hall and lit a whole cherry wood fire.
We don’t know much about Li Xingshu and his deeds.
The topic of their chat is the epidemic in the past two months.
We can also accept it frankly.
In the next few days, I will meet many old people of this age.
This is basically the same view.
It has been the same here for thousands of years, and it should be the same as when Li Jing came.
Jiuxian Village is basically intact, and its layout has not changed.
Except for the ancestral hall, which may have been 49 years ago, there are some old houses in the 1950s and 1960s.
Leave Jiuxian Village, return to the Yulong River, watch the bamboo rafts drifting in the river, and ride to Yulong Village.
There was only one Rice noodles shop in the village, which was still full of tourists.
So we continued westward and rode to the Golden Dragon Bridge.
There was a restaurant at the south end of the bridge.
There were not many people, so we had lunch here.
The Yulong Bridge was first built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Yulong Village and Guiliuhui War, the Chinese army set up a position here to repel the Japanese attack.
Jinlong Bridge is a new bridge.
Under the bridge is a wharf at the upstream of Yulong River rafting.
The bamboo rafts rafting downstream are pulled back by cars and then re-launched here.
Fuli Bridge is about 2 kilometers northwest of Jinlong Bridge, and is said to be the last secret place around Yangshuo County.
After riding outside the village, there has been a long queue of self-driving vehicles.
When you get close, the Fuli Bridge is full of tourists, and bamboo rafts shuttle under the beautiful stone arch.
Fuli Bridge was also built in the Ming Dynasty, slightly later than Yulong Bridge.
There is an ancient tree on both sides of the bridge pier.
The age of the tree should be about the same as that of Fuli Bridge, more than 500 years old.
Riding back to Baisha Town in the upstream direction of Yulong River, Curiosity and I continued to go east.
The three adults needed to take the battery car back to the hotel and then take a taxi to Xianggong Mountain.
