folk culture

The West Bank not only has a long history, but also has a profound cultural heritage. In terms of cultural relics, folk culture and ancient villages, it has left us many valuable cultural heritages with high appreciation value and artistic value.

Cultural relics

(1) Five arch stone bridge: the five arch stone bridge is the representative and symbol of the ancient buildings on the West Bank. It was built in the year of Xulong, more than 200 years ago, with a total length of 68 meters and a width of 5.6 meters. It has five semi-circular arch bridges with rectangular stone piers as its column base and the famous West Bank stone strips. Although it has gone through several centuries, it still spans both sides of a river. In 1958, the gravel bridge deck was paved by the stone cascade bridge deck of pedestrian line. In 1998, the bridge deck was reinforced and widened by concrete. In recent years, the bridge deck cracked because it could not be rolled by heavy vehicles. In the winter of 2004, Lianzhou Highway Bureau appropriated funds to rebuild and strengthen the bridge deck.

(2) Guanbu Ferry: it is located at the side of Guanbu village of kuichi village committee, West Bank town, Lianzhou City. The former ferry covers an area of 500-800 square meters, which is now cultivated by local people. It is not only the waterway from Lianzhou and Liannan to Taibao town of Lianshan County, but also the main post station for officials at that time. At the same time, it is also the only ferry for villagers on both sides of the west bank river. On the East Bank of the ferry, there is a material trade market, called shigu town; on the West Bank of the ferry, there is a stone tablet. The main idea of the stone tablet is to inform the villagers on both sides of the strait that they are not allowed to enter Xiaolong mountain to steal bamboo and wood. Anyone who violates the regulations will be punished by the government. The person who erected the monument is the fourth police station in Lianshan. The chief of the police, Cheng Bangyan, erected the monument in the fifth year of the Republic of China. According to the research, Guanbu village was under the jurisdiction of the fourth Lianshan police station, while shigu village was under the jurisdiction of Lianzhou.

(3) Tang ancestral hall: Tang ancestral hall is located in Matai village, West Bank town, Lianzhou City. It was first built in the shennian of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty and has been more than 200 years. Tang ancestral hall is a brick and wood Pavilion structure, covering an area of about 1000 square meters. The ancestral hall is about 50 meters long, 20 meters wide, with a construction area of about 500 square meters. It is divided into upper, middle and lower halls. On both sides of the gate of Tang ancestral hall, there are stone drums and stone scales. The first hall from the gate is the hall of Zanying Shijie. The area of this hall is about 50 square meters. There is a wooden screen account behind the hall. There is a door in the middle of the screen account and two small doors on both sides of the screen account. It is said that ordinary people can't pass through the middle gate. Only when officials arrive, they open the middle gate and let officials pass through it. Other people pass through the small gates on both sides. Out of the "Zanying Shijie" hall is an empty flat, from the stone steps in the empty flat up, into the "Golden Horse Shidi" hall. This hall has the largest area, about 150 square meters. There are a row of wing rooms on both sides of the front of the hall, which are used for kitchen and stacking property. From the back door of "Jin Ma Shi Di" hall, there is also an empty terrace. Then from the stone steps in the empty terrace, you will come to the hall of "straight up to yunqu". In the middle of the hall, there is a double Jinshi altar in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is the main place for Tang's sacrifice.

(4) Ancient turret on the West Bank: the ancient turret is located in the northwest of huangjiexiang village, the village committee on the West Bank (the former residence of the Kuomintang puppet government). It was built in the early years of the Republic of China (about 1927), covering an area of 16 square meters (length × width = 4 × 4), 28 meters high, with a total of 5 floors, belonging to the structure of blue brick and Chinese fir. It used to be the watchtower of the Township Office of the Fifth District of the former Kuomintang. Now there are ruins of the Qing Dynasty's undeveloped buildings around it, ranging from 1 to 2 meters in length, as well as the wall made of big green stones on the West Bank. The ancient turret is in a precarious state and needs to be repaired due to its disrepair.
