Miao people call Jiangshan stereotyped writing, which means toad cave. There is a cave near the village, where there are many toads, hence the name. The name of the military camp originated from the fact that there were military camps stationed here when the Qing Dynasty suppressed the Miao uprising. As for Jison, after liberation, a Jison Reservoir was built on the mountain in the northwest of the village, and Miao Village was short of water. After the reservoir was completed, people called it stereotyped writing. With the passage of time, the name of the administrative region was changed to Jiangshan. Jiang retains the ancient Miao customs.

Later, the Qing rulers made some supplements to the Great Wall in Miaojiang. Perhaps it is because the military strength of the southern minorities is not as strong as that of the northern minorities, and the Miaojiang Great Wall has not been built as majestic as the northern Great Wall, and the stones used are only110 to16 of the northern Great Wall. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the stones on the Great Wall in Miaojiang have been continuously removed by local people to build houses and roadblocks.
Today, we can only see intermittent city walls and some well-preserved castles. Miaojiang Great Wall is an integral part of China Great Wall. It is indisputable that scenic spots should be included in the world cultural heritage list like the Great Wall in the north. Tuojiang Diaojiaolou Tuojiang River is the mother river of Phoenix, which flows slowly along the city wall and nurtures the children of the ancient city for generations. Sitting on a boat in Wu Peng, listening to the ferryman's songs and watching the Tujia Diaojiao Building with a history of 100 years on both sides of the strait, it has a unique charm. Downstream, a picture of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River across Hongqiao is displayed: Wanshou Palace, Wanming Building and Duocui Building, which are born with a feeling of being far away from the world. The south bank of Tuojiang River is an ancient city wall, which is made of purple sand and stone, elegant and majestic.

Huige Diaojiaolou Group is located in Huilongge, southeast of the ancient city, facing the ancient official road in front and hanging the Tuojiang River in the back. It is one of the ancient buildings with strong Miao architectural characteristics in Fenghuang Ancient City. This diaojiao building, with a total length of 240 meters, belongs to the building of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, and there are still more than a dozen families living in it.

Huangsiqiao Huangsiqiao Ancient City was built in the third year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 687) (Geography of Hunan Province: Weiyang County was established in the Tang Dynasty, and the county is now southwest, now called Huangsiqiao). After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the provincial and county governments allocated funds for renovation, forming a magnificent stone city. It is the place where ancient troops were stationed, and it is the outpost where rulers of past dynasties guarded the livelihood of Miao people in the west.

The stones used for building are all limestone and bluestone, small 1000 kilograms. The surface of the stone is very fine, smooth and delicate. When building, glutinous rice porridge mixed with lime is used as the building material, which makes the wall of hundreds of meters seamless and strong. There are three gates in the ancient city, all of which are towers more than ten meters high, and the architectural pattern is clear.

1902, 1902 On February 28th, 2002, Shen Congwen, a famous Chinese writer, historian and archaeologist, was born in a typical southern ancient courtyard in Zhongying Street, Fenghuang Ancient City. Huang Yongyu, Shen Congwen's nephew and old teacher, is also a celebrity in the cultural circle. Phoenix is famous because Shen Lao's "Border Town" compound was built after Shen Hongfu, the grandfather of Shen Congwen, the magistrate of Guizhou Province in the Qing Dynasty, bought an old house and demolished it in the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866). This is a bungalow sealed with firebricks. The quadrangle is divided into front and back floors, with square red stone courtyards and wing rooms on both sides, with the size of 1 1. The house is a bucket-type wooden structure and is closed by a bucket-type hinge wall.
Horsehead wall decoration, decorative doors and windows, small and chic, antique. The whole building has strong characteristics of the ancient city of Ming and Qing Dynasties in western Hunan. Shen Congwen, a famous teacher in the literary world in the1920s, is regarded as the first-class modern literary writer in China, second only to Lu Xun (on Shen Congwen by Jeff Jeffrey C. Kinkley), and spent his legendary childhood in the ancient city. Shen Congwen's life is bumpy and dedicated. 19 17- 1922, wandering in the Yuanshui river basin in western Hunan; 1923 broke into Beijing, 1923 to 1928 made a living by writing in Beijing; 1928- 1930 lecturer of Shanghai Zhonghua college, editor-in-chief of literary supplements such as Ta Kung Pao and Yi Shi Daily.

His works have been translated and published by more than 40 countries such as Japan, the United States, Britain and the former Soviet Union, and have been selected into university textbooks by more than 40 countries or regions such as the United States, Japan, South Korea and Britain.
He was nominated as a candidate for Nobel Prize in Literature twice. Mr Shen Congwen is not only a famous writer, but also a famous historian and archaeologist. He has written and published academic monographs such as China Silk Patterns, Bronze Mirrors of Tang and Song Dynasties, Dragon and Phoenix Art and Lacquerware of Warring States Period, especially the representative work "Research on Ancient Chinese Costume". 199 1 year, Shen Congwen's former residence was listed as a key cultural relics protection unit of the provincial people's government, and funds were allocated for renovation. The former residence now displays Shen Lao's remains, manuscripts, relics and portraits, which has become one of the most attractive cultural landscapes in Phoenix, with an endless stream of tourists every day. Xiong Xiling's former residence+June 25th, 0869. Mr Xiong Xiling was born in an alley in Wenxing Street, north of Fenghuang Ancient City, and spent his childhood here.
He was born smart and was called a prodigy in Hunan. He was a scholar at the age of fifteen, a juren at the age of twenty-two, a scholar at the age of twenty-five, and later an academician. At the age of 43 (19 13), he was elected as the first elected prime minister of the Republic of China. Yuan Shikai was soon forced to resign because he opposed the restoration of monarchy. Mr. Xiong devoted himself to charity and education in his later years and founded the famous Xiangshan Kindergarten on 1920. 1937 65438+On February 25th, the man of the hour died in Hong Kong at the age of 68. At that time, the National Government held a state funeral ceremony for him. When General Secretary Hu Yaobang visited Phoenix on 1988, he also said that Phoenix was full of talented people, and Xiong Xiling served as Prime Minister of the State Council and did a lot of good things. Xiong Xiling's former residence was built in the seventh year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1868).
This is an ancient wooden quadrangle. The style of Miao architecture is well reflected here. Siheyuan is small, with one main room and three bedrooms, equipped with kitchen and study, with a total area of 250 square meters. There is a small courtyard at the main entrance of the main house, surrounded by several wing rooms. Doors, windows and walls are mostly made of wood with flowers or pictures engraved on them, which are elegant in shape and exquisite in workmanship. The house is not big, but the structure is exquisite. Although it is closed and immortal.
The former residence is antique, displaying furniture, antique stationery, manuscripts and photos from various periods in Xiong Xiling, which exudes a heavy sense of history. Xiong Xiling's former residence is located in an alley on North Wenxing Street in the ancient city. The beautiful Tuojiang River is 200 meters east of the former residence. The former residence is an ancient shingle structure in the south, short but exquisite. The four existing houses in the former residence basically keep their original appearance and are full of Miao sentiment.
The former residence is a key cultural relic protection unit in the county. Tianlongxia is known as the most beautiful Miao village, so don't go. After you go in, you walk through several farmland, and then the staff will make you pay 20 yuan to drift in a dirty place. In fact, after turning a corner, you will find that the drifting distance is only 20-30 meters. Then, the tour guide will drop you off on the way, because the scenery is not as good as other Miao villages, but the people who run small shops along the way are very friendly. When we finally reached the top of the mountain, there were cold mountains and rivers. Originally, buying a watermelon was the coolest thing, but it was really not cost-effective for a student to charge 1 10. After personal comparison, I think this is the worst Miao village in Phoenix.
