The ancient city of Lingling in Yongzhou, which is rich in cultural temperament

Yongzhou, a prefecture-level city in southern Hunan, is elegantly named 'Xiaoxiang' because the two rivers of Xiao and Xiang converge here. The ancient city of Lingling has a history of more than 2,000 years. Just these place names are full of poetic and picturesque feelings. With the blessing of literati and ink guests from all dynasties, it is the hometown of historical figures such as the Three Kingdoms general Huang Gai, the 'Grass Saint' Tang Dynasty calligrapher Huai Su, the Dali scholar Zhou Dunyi, and modern leaders Li Da, Tao Zhu, etc. It can be said that all rivers and mountains are articles, and the heavy cultural atmosphere is coming. The most important thing is that Liu Zongyuan, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, was demoted to Yongzhou for ten years and wrote famous poems such as 'Yongzhou Eight Records'. Among them, 'Xiaoshitanji', 'The Snake Catcher's Talk', and 'River Snow' are all must-read texts in middle school textbooks. When you walk into Liu Zimiao to reread these texts, those famous sentences that have been precipitated for decades can still be resurrected in an instant.
