Unscramble the city's integrity —— Long Mai and Qujing's integrity

It is rumored that Qujing is a treasure in the urban landscape and a rare ancient city building with mountains and water. Some people say that Qujing is in the compound of the Party School of the Communist Party of China. This statement has been circulating for a long time and has no basis so far. Then, let's introduce Qujing City and Longmai. Let's have a look!

Wenchang Palace in Qujing, also known as Wenchang Gong Xue, is the largest and most influential official-run "academy" in Qujing in Qing Dynasty, that is, a "school" for giving lectures and reading. In ancient times, Wenchang Palace was a place where temples and learning were integrated. It is not only a palace dedicated to Wenchang God, but also a place for education and enlightenment.

Qujing Gong Yuan, the "examination room", is called the "experimental shed" by the common people, and it is the place where the country selects talents. In the imperial examination era, after passing the county examination, the Jinshi from various counties in Qujing went to Gong Yuan in Qujing to take the official examination and the imperial examination. The pilot (i.e. scholar) went to the provincial capital to take the provincial examination, and the candidate (i.e. juren) went to Beijing to take the final examination and palace examination.

According to Nanning County Records, Qujing Old Town is characterized by "four staggered doors, eight T-shaped streets and nine pairs of lanes". The old city is backed by the vast foothills of Shandong, and is adjacent to Kangqiao River in the north. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In an ancient city of one square kilometer, there are complete facilities and perfect functions, including yamen meeting political needs, temples meeting religious needs, Confucius temples, Wenchang Palace, Gong Yuan and academies meeting the needs of education, talent selection and cultural activities, and pavilions dotted with scenery. Street-facing building, with shops in front and factories in the back, lives upstairs. Each house is very long, with three rooms and two houses, and there are wells in the courtyard. Some people say that this layout is a "letter", and many "letters" are arranged in a row, which is a street. In order to prevent fire, horse head wall and cat arch wall were set up. Cat arch wall is one of the architectural features of Qujing. It adopts a waist building structure, which can alleviate the influence of roof rain on streets. T-street in the city has the functions of wind prevention, fire prevention and cavalry impact prevention.

There is a legend that the designer of Qujing ancient city was Wang Zhanhai who designed Nanjing City in Ming Dynasty, and the design drawings of Qujing City were later used to build Macau City. The ancient city of Macao is gone, but there are still some broken streets in Qujing.

Wang Zhanhai was a geographer and surveyor in the Ming Dynasty (Shuijia). He participated in the design and construction of the Forbidden City and the Ming Zuling, and also designed several big cities.

According to Nanning County Records, the Confucian Temple at that time "sat facing south and surrounded by horses". The hall is spacious and full of weather, and saints live in it.
