Wen Xingping's Fortune Telling _ Xingping's Best Fortune Telling

Huyi District, located in the southwest of the city, is the earliest place where the Hu family was established, also known as Huxian County. In the east of Huyi District, next to the west bank of Fenghe River, there is a town of Qin Dou, also known as "Qin Zhen". This is the Fengjing site in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and later became an important ferry on the Fenghe River, with a long history and convenient transportation.

20211165438+3 At noon, my family and I came to Qin Dou Town and strolled along the old streets here, looking for shops in the Qing Dynasty, the gatehouse in Wan 'an, the ancient buildings like Blissful Residence and so on. 20 18 12 18, these buildings were announced by the people's government of Xi as the fifth batch of municipal-level cultural relics protection units, and became important physical materials for studying the history of ancient towns in Qin Dou and the development process of Qin merchants in the Qing Dynasty.

In the third year of Emperor Hongdi in the late Qin Dynasty (40 1), Emperor Yaoxing left Chang 'an and went to Caotang Temple in the southern suburbs to give lectures. When passing through here, there is a ferry named "Qin Dou". Breaking the barrier of Fenghe River, it has become a transportation hub between East and West, where business travelers gather. Here gradually formed the embryonic form of the market town, also known as "Qin".

?

In the Tang Dynasty, streets were set up and houses were built along the street, and the streets and lanes in Qin Dou formed a "D" pattern. After the development of Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the business here is prosperous, and the streets are gradually expanding and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. In the first year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1426), Qin Dou was officially renamed as Qin Dou Town.

In the past, around Qin Dou Town, there were abundant commodities, merchants and extensive transactions. Businessmen from all over the world gathered here, forming a relatively complete commercial system. The local groceries, local products, mountain products, grain, cotton and meat oil are more prosperous than the county.

?

According to the statistics in the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), there were 150 registered businesses in Qin Dou town, including 12 drug stores, 12 grain stores, more than 20 grocery stores, as well as pubs, cigarette shops, blacksmiths, meat shops, drug stores and so on. Besides commercial and trade activities, there are various folk activities, such as performing arts, juggling, fortune telling, story telling, singing opera and gambling. After the founding of New China, Qin Dou Town became an important distribution center for local mountain products native products and grain and cotton. Every market day, there is a sea of people, and there are tens of thousands of people going to the market.

In 1970s and 1980s, Qin Dou Town reached its most prosperous period, and it was called "the four major market towns in Huxian County" together with Anzu Town, Dawang Town and Residual Town. In 1990s, the urban area of Xi developed, the surrounding villages and towns gradually declined, and Qin Dou Town lost its former position.

?

A few years ago, the streets of Qin Dou Town were dilapidated, just like ordinary villages, and many old shops on both sides gradually disappeared. 20 18, Xi High-tech Zone began to take care of the street in Qin Dou Town, Huyi District, and planned the protection of shops in the old street in Qing Dynasty. After three years of hard work, the face here has taken on a new look. Each old building has been given a unified name and number, and a special person directly responsible for safety and safety management personnel have been arranged. At the same time, above the gate of the old building, there is a sign of "generally immovable cultural relics".

For more than 65,438+0,000 years, Qin Dou Town still retains its past street layout, which is a T-shaped pattern consisting of West Street, North Street and South Street, including Qin Yi Street, Qiner Street and Qinsan Street. Nowadays, there are basically no old buildings on both sides of North Street, but there are still many old buildings in West Street and South Street, which makes people feel the historical features of the ancient towns in the north.

?

On both sides of the narrow street, all kinds of shops open along the street, and the yard behind is the living area. People here have guarded the old house for generations and run a small shop. Although they are not very rich, they are very leisurely.

?

Most of these shops have two floors, below which are business shops and above which are simple warehouses. On the eaves and walls of many buildings, there are exquisite brick carvings and wood carvings, showing the prosperity here.

Qin Dou Town is located at the junction of Huyi District and Chang 'an District in Xi 'an City, about 20 kilometers away from Xi's urban area, and it can be reached by car for more than half an hour. Every weekend and holiday, people in Xi 'an like to go to Qin Zhen to taste the unique rice skin and small oil cakes here, and those who like to drink will bring a pot of yellow wine. Therefore, cold rice noodles, small oil cakes and yellow rice wine are known as the "three treasures of Qin Zhen".

?

Qin Zhen rice skin has a long history. There are more than 20 kinds of seasonings for making rice skin, and the dosage of each seasoning is different. Therefore, every rice noodle shop in Qin Zhen has its own seasoning secret recipe, with different tastes and characteristics.

?

Oil cake is a traditional snack in Shaanxi. The oil cake in Qin Zhen is smaller than that in other places, and the locals call it "a little fragrant oil cake". Qin Zhen yellow rice wine is made from high-quality glutinous rice and distiller's yeast rich in the west bank of Fenghe River. Open a pub on the street and brew yellow wine in the backyard.

After 2000, the ancient villages and towns in Guanzhong, represented by "yuanjiacun", have mushroomed, including zhouzhi county Shuijie, Xingping Mayi Post and Lantian Bailuyuan Folk Village. Compared with these newly-built "ancient towns", the ancient Qin Dou Town is a veritable ancient town, with traditional delicacies such as rice skin, small oil cakes and yellow wine. After reasonable planning and publicity in the future, I believe this place will definitely become a famous historical and cultural town.
