The Origin of Qionglai Huojing Ancient Town

Zhang Hua's Natural History says, "Lin Qiong has a fire well, which is five feet wide and two or three feet deep. This well is in the south of the county. Zhuge Wuhou saw it, and the fire turned prosperous ... it will not rekindle today. " Zhang Hua is from the Western Jin Dynasty. The Zhuge Liang he mentioned was in the Three Kingdoms period, not far away. Before him, Yang Xiong, a writer of the Western Han Dynasty, wrote "Biography of the King of Shu": "Lin Qiong has a fire well, five feet wide ... cooking salt on the well." Yang Xiong is a native of Chengdu and a great scholar. Zhang Hua should believe what he said. The Fire Well was described in Shu Du Fu, Huayang National Records by Chang Qu, and Different Gardens by Liu. In other words, since the Western Han Dynasty, the fire pit has attracted the attention of the world.
