As early as the Spring and Autumn and warring States period, the King of Chu built Jingtai, which left the palace in China. Because of its unique geographical location and convenient traffic conditions, Cheng Ji was once known as Xiao Hankou, with a prosperous and brilliant history of commercial ports, and there are a large number of buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

People deeply feel that the political, economic, cultural and social undertakings of Chengji Town have undergone historic changes in recent years: the bitter well water of low bungalows is a true portrayal of the housing situation of the people of Chengji Town many years ago. Today, rural housing has realized the "three links" (water, electricity, closed circuit) project.

The design of farmers' houses in the village is livable and comfortable, and there are countless three-story buildings. Cheng Ji's new rural construction has really achieved the goals of production development, affluent life, civilized rural style, clean village appearance and democratic management, and farmers have achieved the goal of living and living put forward by the 17th CPC National Congress.

Fantasia: another bright pearl

The city is the crystallization of human civilization; the famous city is the boutique of the city and the representative work of regional civilization. To show the context and inherit history is just an opportunity for us to affectionately embrace tradition, collect city memories, rationally engrave history, enlighten our minds with ancient fragrance, and save famous cities and towns.

Mo Chun, the spring clothes are ready; there are five or six crowns, six or seven boys, bathing in Yuyi, the wind dancing in the wind, singing and returning. Reading the Advanced part of the Analects of Confucius is like traveling through a thousand years, the reporter saw: one day in early summer May, the warm sun shone on the moat, the breeze blew through the flowery fields, the river rippled, the willow trees on both sides hung long eyelashes, and the green reeds whispered hymns with the wind to invite about five or six friends and six or seven children to swim in the Liangshui River. He went to the dance stage to blow the wind, and the wind sent the swallows whispering and the yellow warbler singing loudly all the way home.

We lined up through the winding ridges and green rice seedlings, and not far away around the village were pomegranates blooming with pink cheeks, luxuriant snow-white gardenias, bees and butterflies flying drunkenly among the flowers. Luoying colorful fascinated our eyes, the same frightened bees flying around, buzzing in front of us, some students caught the eyes and hands quickly, pulled out the bee thorn, sucked honey, smacked again and again, a face intoxicated. Look, what a relaxing and delightful scene! Thanks to the Analects of Confucius for setting a bright and relaxed day for future generations, when we twist the pages, the sound of water on the back of the paper and the singing of Lang Lang pass by. The scene is hidden in the depths of time stacked like sedimentary rock, gently touched by the eye, immediately shining brightly, vividly, like a real piece of coal, emitting temperature from the heart.

These practices and experiences have achieved good results, and have important implications for the protection of the cultural heritage of famous cities in our country. For example, combined with the Cultural Heritage Day to do more extensive and in-depth cultural publicity, solid investigation and research, provide basic results for the specific implementation of cultural heritage protection, strengthen the construction of geographical names cultural laws and regulations, and so on. Firmly believe that the future famous cities and towns will be full of poetic and cultural charm, but also will facilitate the production and life of the masses.
