Chengdu "Shaocheng" -"Mancheng"

■ Zheng Guangfu

In addition to "Furong City" and "Jinguan City", Chengdu's nicknames also have "Shao Town" and "Taicheng". Some people say that Shaocheng and Taicheng are all the same. They were built and provided by the Manchu dynasty. This statement is not comprehensive or incomplete. Fan Chengda, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once recorded: "Shao Cheng, Zhang Yi built in the city. The soil is strong, the horizontal wood is rotten, the eyes are wearing, the soil is the same, and it does not dissolve." At that time, a man named Li Shi was quoted during the words of the poem: "Zhang Yi, Sima Wudao built Taicheng, from Qin Huigong Yiyi to Shaoxing Rennian. The existence is like a broken wall, but also the wonders of the class.

The above -mentioned historical books clearly told people that Taicheng and Shaocheng were built in the southwest of the southwest when they built Guicheng in 316 BC in the southwest. It may be a slightly larger, or before it is repaired.

From this, we know that Shaocheng was built when it was not full and clear.

The exact place in Shaocheng and Taicheng is difficult to examine today. But the "Shao City" on the west is known to everyone in Chengdu, which is what people call "Man City". Why is this full city called "Shaocheng"? It turned out that when the Manchu dynasty ruled China, the Manchu people living in Chengdu lived in the former Shaocheng, and separated from the Han people in the east side of the Shao City. The city wall was later removed, but the name was "Dongcheng Gen Street" today. Because Shaocheng lives in the Manchu, he is known as "Man City".

According to the "Sichuan Tongzhi" by Chang Ming and others in the Qing Dynasty, the Manmeng Eight Banners stationed in Chengdu took the three flags with three flags, a total of twenty -four flags. One of the Guan Street and three hugs on the armored soldier. There are eight Eight Banner Street, and there are thirty -three articles of Bingding Hutong. Overlooking from the air, the layout of the entire city is like a cricket. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Fu Chongjia, a literati, recorded in the "Chengdu Trip" that at that time, the city was full of city, "the scenery is quiet, the flowers and trees are very large, the air is clean, the streets are open, and the sound of the dove is the shadow."

When we understand the changes in Shaocheng and determine its position, we will observe the streets and alleys on both sides along Changshun Street. Although the tall buildings have changed their faces, they think of the generals of the general, that is, the nearby people's park, that is, today's Renmin Park When the General Street was the head of the cricket, wasn't the body of the past Changshun Street? Isn't the foot of the osmanthus alleys, Zhiji stone, Kuanxiangzi, narrow alley and other small streets and alleys?

In order to retain the ancient style of Shaocheng, it is now determined to be an ancient Chengdu building retaining area.
