Why is Yuci ancient town still called "ghost town"?

Yuci ancient town, as an ancient city with a history of 1400 years, should first prepare for the historical atmosphere of ancient style and rhyme. Although the ancient city needs some repair and protection, it also needs commercial development, but the foundation of an ancient city should be ancient, as always. Today's Yuci ancient city has always been controversial in the ancient city boundary. Is it an ancient city or a new city? Some people even call it a ghost town. What happened in Yuci Old Town? What has the ancient city of Yuci become now?

Yuci ancient city is the old city.

In Yuci ancient city, the most famous is the Chenghuang Temple. Founded in A.D. 1362, the Town God Temple covers an area of 6,000 square meters and is one of the best-preserved Town God temples in China. Chenghuang Temple is one of the important gods in ancient Chinese culture, the god of protecting the city and helping the people, and the master of Ming books. The brave and fearless people in front of the Town God Temple are magnificent, protecting the stability and auspiciousness of the Town God Temple.

On the first or fifteenth day of each year, the Chenghuang Temple holds a grand blessing activity. Religious lovers can pray for peace.

In the old city of Yuci, there is also an ancient scenic spot-Yuci County Government. There is a saying: "If you don't go to Yuci county government, you won't come to Yuci ancient city", which shows the special position of Yuci county government in the ancient city. Yuci County is the largest county-level government in China, with Liujin Courtyard as the central axis. The main buildings are a door, a lobby, two halls, three halls, four halls and five halls. Such architectural pattern and scale reveal the carefulness and exquisiteness of ancient life in every brick and tile. The brick carving art of the county government, which has experienced wind, frost, rain and snow but still has a clear picture, is also the best example of the craftsman spirit that modern people are pursuing wholeheartedly.

There is also a famous old-fashioned building in Yuci ancient city-Yuci Confucian Temple, which is called the Confucian Temple building comparable to Qufu Confucian Temple. The main buildings of the Confucian Temple are the screen wall, the Shipai Building, the Dacheng Hall and the Minglun Hall. The temple is dedicated to the sage Confucius, and a large-scale dharma meeting is held on the first day of each month 15. Although the times have changed rapidly, the initial activities and etiquette have not changed.

Yuci City has Feng Ming Academy, which is the highest institution of higher learning in Yuci. Covering an area of 2,700 square meters, with clear layout and excellent water color, it is a good place to give lectures and cultivate one's morality.

Yuci ancient city is a new city.

In front of the county government is the bustling county government square of Yuci ancient city. Every important festival, especially the Spring Festival, the county government square becomes a large-scale activity center. During the large-scale activities, there will be various live performances, such as folk drama and lion dance on the tower. Although it is a folk performance, the commercial flavor in the county square will be stronger. If you want to go to the ancient city to seek quiet enjoyment and explore ancient ruins, then the county government square is not a good choice. But at the same time, it is more lively and caters to the needs of many young people.

The towers of Yuci Old Town should be the favorite places for many foodies. Besides the snacks in front of Ya Xian Square, there are more special snacks gathered beside the city building, which can be called snack street. There are all kinds of snacks in the street. Although we all know that there is little difference in snack streets all over the country, there is still a desire to move. Compared with the regret of not trying, everyone is more likely to accept the regret after tasting. What I want to recommend here is stinky tofu on the street, which tastes slightly different from other places.

Yuci ancient city is a ghost town.

Compared with the lively scenes of grand festivals, Yuci ancient city actually has a different look. Every grand festival, crowds coming and going in the ancient city and grand celebration scenes. But after the festival, the old city has become another look. Silent ancient temple buildings, deserted streets, shops that open or even close in twos and threes. This scene is not surprising. Although Yuci ancient city has the title of ancient city, its development has been unsatisfactory.

Many houses in Yuci ancient city have been idle, closed and even filled with domestic garbage, and nearby businesses, large and small, have also changed frequently. Because of local economic reasons and people flow problems, most of them will not last long.

The idea of developing Yuci ancient city was very good, but it has not been fully implemented for some practical reasons. As an ancient city, the ancient building street and lively folk activities are basic, but the coldness and loneliness after the holiday are also a true portrayal of this society.

A scenic spot, like people, needs good development and maintenance, and a wrong step may bear the necessary consequences. However, Yuci ancient city is still worth a visit, and the experience of playing and the setting of scenic spots are also different.
