The Qishui River flows through Wugong Town, where it intersects with the Wei River and the Moyu River, forming an open flat land with fertile land and flowing water. Jiangyuan Water Town is a tourist attraction built on a flat river beach, relying on the river bank, and based on the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. Its completion has brought vitality to Wugong Town, a small town with thousands of years of history.
Jiangyuan Water Town is built on the Qishui River, surrounded by green water on three sides. On this fan-shaped flat land formed by natural impact, this unique street is paved with stone slabs, with gurgling water in front of the door, white walls and black tiles and cornices, green willows on the riverside, boat rides on the water, and occasionally people wearing cheongsam holding oil-paper umbrellas. girls walk through the streets for tourists to take photos. A beautiful scenery of Jiangnan water town. Looking up, the loess on the east and west plateaus stand upright, like thick city walls guarding the palace in a fairy tale. The zigzag road winds up, and there are simple temple eaves among the evergreen pines and cypresses in the middle of the mountain. Starting from the legendary mother and son Jiang Yuan and Houji, generations of people have lived on this beautiful river beach. There are still cave dwellings inhabited by people on the Banpo slope of the east plateau, and archaeological discoveries can even be traced back to the Yangshao culture.
Jiangyuan Water Town is connected with rich Chinese history. The temples, ruins and legends scattered around the town tell stories that have lasted for thousands of years.
Jiang Yuan was the mother of Hou Ji, the founder of agriculture. According to "Historical Records·Zhou Benji": "Zhou Houji was named Qi, and his mother had a Tai daughter named Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan was the emperor's concubine Ku Yuan. Jiang Yuan When I go out into the wild and see a sign of a giant, my heart is full of anger and I want to trample on it, but my body moves as if I were pregnant." Youtai is now Wugong Town. In addition, the Book of Songs Daya's "Shengmin" says: "The people were born at the beginning, and Jiang Yuan was in control at that time. How the people were born, restrained their desires and restrained their sacrifices. Efu had no children, and he was the emperor Wu Minxin, and Youjie Youzhi. There are earthquakes, Su, and life. It is considered unlucky to give birth to Hou Ji. "The birth place is in the narrow lane, and the cows and sheep are placed in the plain forest. The ice is cut down in the plain forest, and the birds are covered with wings." Go away, Hou Ji is gone. "Three times he was abandoned and three times he was rescued, which is called abandonment. However, he was good at arboriculture and grain harvesting, and was named Hou Ji by Yao, becoming the ancestor of the Zhou people. Jiang Yuan's tomb and teaching platform are the footprints left by Jiang Yuan and Hou Ji. The wax festival and the river beach gathering held every year from the 7th to the 17th day of the 11th lunar month are to commemorate the merits of Jiang Yuan and Hou Ji, and they continue to this day.
The Baoben Temple and the Chenghuang Temple that have been preserved to this day are closely related to the holy king Li Shimin. Li Shimin was born here, and when he was thirteen years old, he left Wugong Town to follow his father in the war. Legend has it that the city god saved Li Shimin's life, so the city god of Wugong Town was named King of Wude, becoming the only city god in the country who was named king. Baoben Temple was originally Li Yuan's villa. After Li Shimin became emperor, he turned his residence into a temple. Now Baoben Temple and Chenghuang Temple are both national key cultural relics protection units.
The famous patriotic minister Su Wu was buried in Wugong Town after his death. Every year around Qingming Festival, Su family members from all over the world hold large-scale sacrificial activities in front of the Su Wu Memorial Hall. The famous Neo-Confucian Zhang Zai left a famous saying in his lectures at Luye Pavilion: "Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations." There was also Kang Hai, the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, who inherited Qin opera and wrote county annals. Su Hui's "Xuanji Picture" was praised by Wu Zetian as the most talented woman in the world.

The town turned out to be very poor. There were many people on the riverbank but little land, and there were nine droughts in the last ten years. People here live together in clans, with orderly family inheritance, pure folk customs, hardworking and honest people. Sowing wheat and corn in rotation can only solve the problem of eating. In recent years, the agricultural industry structure has been adjusted to include greenhouse vegetables, kiwi fruit, seedlings and flowers, and the town has been listed as a national tourist town for key development. The transportation has improved, the newly built squares, parks, and the silvery water surface tell you that the town is modernizing; while the sea of ??flowers in spring and the orchards in autumn tell you that this is a pastoral place. Sacrifice, temple fairs, and ancient pagodas tell you that there are memories here again. The cheongsam and oil-paper umbrella make the alley feel like you are in the south of the Yangtze River.

Here, beauty is no longer a picture, it is right before our eyes, at our feet, and beside us. It is not a tree, a boat, or a piece of water, but the small town where Jiangyan Water Village is located, which has been trampled by thousands of men, women, old and young for thousands of years.
