Why is there no snack bar in Xiongcun, a once glorious ancient town in Guangxi?

Xiongcun was originally a pearl on the ancient commercial road in Hunan and Guangxi. It is a traditional village with a history of 1500 years, which is more than 600 years earlier than the Dawei ancient town built in the early Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, there is a local saying called? Xiongcun first, Dawei again? . This statement has a historical basis. A short article about the introduction of Dawei ancient town will be published later. )

Originally called here? Xiong jiacun? Because the first family who lived here was named Xiong, and their ancestors were from Jiangxi. Later, with the construction of Xianggui Commercial Road, Xiongcun became an important transit point for merchants from south to north to gather, gradually prospered, and then people with other surnames began to flood in.

In the Ming Dynasty, a wild grass market was established, and the market is located in the present Xiongcun village. At the same time, Xiong Jiacun changed its name to? Kumamura? , also called what? Xiongcun Wei? 、? Daxiongwei? . Three days a day, its prosperity is comparable to that of Dawei ancient town (? Hey? Is it the name of the southern region of China, that is, the northern region? Settings? )。

The ancient commercial road in Hunan and Guangxi has flourished for more than 500 years. Some people regard it as? Southern Silk Road? . During the Republic of China, with the opening of the Xiang-Gui Railway and the Gui-Huang Highway, the traditional caravan was gradually replaced by modern transportation, and this ancient Xiang-Gui commercial road declined and was finally abandoned, and Xiongcun also declined.

From the well-preserved Hunan Guild Hall, you can still enjoy the bustling scene of merchants gathered in all directions. It's a pity that we only saw Hunan Guild Hall, but didn't visit it.

The village has also been renovated accordingly, and some slogans of grasping the revolution and promoting the production period have been specially retained, which is very contemporary. There is no large-scale development and no noise in Guxiong Village!

Walking on the stone road in the village, one or two left-behind old people can be seen from time to time still clinging to the old house handed down by their ancestors.

Occasionally, I will meet a rooster who dares to feed or a dog who patrols the construction site.
