What are the interesting places in Longhui, Shaoyang?

1. Hexiangqiao Old Street is located in the center of Hexiangqiao Ancient Town in the southwest of Longhui County, and it is 16 km south of the county seat. It has truly preserved the architectural relics of workshops, houses, banks, shops, inns, people's communes, food stations and agricultural machinery factories after liberation in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. According to the genealogy, deed of house and written records of wall tiles preserved by the residents of Laojie, Zhu's ancestors moved from Shenzhen, Taihe County, Ji 'an, Jiangxi Province to Shaoxilong, Hunan Province in the early Ming Dynasty and returned to Wudu. Xiao's ancestors built houses in Laojie in the first year of the 1898 (17 18), and Laojie lived in Daoguang for fourteen years (65438). During the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, the old street was expanded and rebuilt. During the Republic of China, the commercial market of Laojie reached its peak, with small-scale joint-stock operation and the establishment of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, which became a famous distribution center for agricultural products and handicrafts in central and southwestern Hunan. After liberation, some collective enterprises and businesses in the people's commune period moved into the old street, making it prosperous and active again. 2. Wei Yuan was a scholar, historian and poet in Qing Dynasty, and an outstanding patriotic thinker and reformer in modern times. Its former residence is located on the sandbar of Xuetangwan Village, Simenmen Town, Longhui County, about 60 kilometers away from Taohong Town, Longhui County. 1995, Wei Yuan's former residence was designated as the patriotic education base in Hunan province. In May 2006 1996, it was announced as a national key cultural relics protection unit, and in April 2006, it was selected as one of the "100 scenic spots in Hunan favored by the people". Wei Yuan, whose word is silent and deep, was a scholar in Daoguang period and served as an official in Gaoyou. He has been concerned about the country and people since he was a teenager, and he emphasized the study of the world. In the shogunate of southeast officials such as He Changling and Tao Shu, Wei Yuan assisted in editing and compiling Confucian classics, organized the reform of salt law in water transportation, and practiced and popularized the thought of economic reform. The failure of the Opium War gave birth to Wei Yuan's thought of "strengthening oneself through reform" and "learning from foreigners to control foreigners", and he wrote great works such as Wu Shengji and The Rule of National Seas, which had a far-reaching impact on the modernization of East Asian countries such as China and even Japan. Wei Yuan's former residence, named Shazhou, is actually a terraced homestead. Because of its narrow terrain, it is also called "boat shape". Surrounded by open ridges, a clear Jinshui River runs through the back of the courtyard. On the ridge, there are lions and elephants on both sides of Jinshui River. Lion Mountain rushes like a rush, and Xiangshan rushes like a flutter, connecting the five main peaks at the southern end that seem to soar into the sky, forming a famous scenic spot where the former residence is located: "The lion shovels water, and the golden plate shovels the Longmen". ZhongBiJia Mountain, which stands in the distance to the south, is a large frame with three peaks side by side, facing the reading building of the former residence. According to the local older generation, it is precisely because of the aura of Bijiashan that Wei Yuan, a figure with a university question, emerged. 3. At the junction of Dayuan Village in Dashuitian Township in the northwest of Longhui County and Zhushan Village in Simenmen Town, the mountains stand upright and the forest is boundless, which is the famous "bird-catching depression" in Longhui County. During the migration season, there are thousands of birds, including 95 species. There are all kinds of birds singing and flapping on the clouds. From far and near, countless birds first circled over Yunfeng and then landed. Birds can be seen everywhere on the branches, beside the grass and beside the road. The mountain has become a world of birds, and only the famous ones are: wild goose, water duck, egret, crane, red cuckoo, bamboo chicken, rock chicken, cold chicken, duck chicken, golden pheasant, quail chicken and so on. The people call it "the flock of birds" and "quail chicken" and "big bird" for a long time, and there is a saying about its origin. Legend has it that more than 300 years ago, the ancestors who now live in Big Bird moved here from the "building". At that time, the new house was very particular about "entering the fire", so we should choose a good day and move into the new house before dawn. It is said that only in this way can people flourish. At that time, there was no electricity, and lighting depended entirely on torches. The ancestors came up from the "set" with torches early in the morning. Just after crossing the screen world, suddenly a flock of birds flew in front of them and almost put out the torch. Everyone was frightened, and the old people even judged it was an unlucky sign. People at that time were very concerned about this. However, some people hold different opinions. They said, "Let's try again. If this is still the case, it will prove nothing. " The next day, they came from there with torches at this time, and strange things appeared again. After many attempts, everyone finally concluded that this was not an ominous sign. It is gradually discovered that many birds will fly here when it rains. As long as people light torches at night, all kinds of birds will be trapped. At that time, people didn't have any protection consciousness for birds, so they caught birds in this way. It is said that if you are lucky, the birds you hit will be packed in grain baskets or bamboo baskets. Later, people used this rule to shoot birds at this time of the year. Birds live every year, and people play every year. This place is called "bird-catching depression".
