Historical evolution

In the history of Shujing temple area, it was originally a pastoral area of the Western Qiang nationality, where the northern border of the ancient Shu Kingdom was located.

During the northern and Southern Dynasties, it was a territory of Tuyuhun and later entered the Sui Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was the seat of "Gongzhou" in Jimi Prefecture. In the 24th year of Kaiyuan period (736), it was established in Jingzhou and governed in Guangping county (later changed to Heji County, now shujingsi town in Hongyuan County, Sichuan Province). Its jurisdiction is similar to that of Hongyuan, Heishui and other counties in Sichuan Province. In the first year of Tianbao (742), it was changed into Gonghua County, and in the first year of Qianyuan (758), it was restored to Gongzhou. Guangde first year (763) to enter Tubo.

Tubo general

Kar Qinling zanzhuo

(Tibetan: མག་ཁྲིངའབྲིངབིང་ཙ་བབོ་་ད་་་བབོ་ད་) conquered the area, effectively controlled the Songmao ancient road, and became an important stronghold in the eastern boundary of Tubo.

After the collapse of the Tubo Empire, jiaosilou, Dangxiang (Xixia) and song controlled the area one after another, and ethnic migration was frequent, which became the northern gateway of the Tibetan Yi Corridor.

In 1253 ad, after the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, the Tusi system was established. Songzhou and panzhou were set up. The jurisdiction included the whole territory of Shujing temple, which was later put under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Province.

In the Ming Dynasty, Songzhou was still set up in the north central part of the territory, which was under the jurisdiction of Songpan hall, and was known as Songpan grassland; zagu pacification department was set up in the south.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Songzhou in the northwest, suomo Tusi and zhuokeji Tusi in the four Tusi, together with Tukou and Sizhai, and later under the jurisdiction of lipanting.

Shujingsi town has long been the site of suomo chieftain Temple (laokangmao Temple). A large number of scriptures are printed, so it is named shujingsi, also known as "haerjialang", which means the place of casting gods in Tibetan.

During the period of the Republic of China, the South and the north were under the jurisdiction of Lipan county and Songpan county respectively. From June 1935 to August 1936, the red first front army, the red second front army and the red Fourth Front Army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army passed through Hongyuan and Shujing temple during the long march. It took one year and two months to climb the snow mountain, cross the grassland and cross the swamp. It was the most difficult time in the long march. This grassland is deeply imprinted with the footprints of the Red Army and engraves the most difficult and tragic journey in the history of Chinese revolution. On this grassland, there are moving stories such as "golden fishhook" and "seven matches", as well as revolutionary sites such as tombs of Red Army martyrs in yakesha mountain, riganqiao swamp, sediba and nianduoba grassland (yakesha mountain is located in Shujing Temple). The vast herdsmen in Hongyuan acted as guides for the Red Army and supported the Red Army with their own highland barley and yaks. During the Yan'an period and after the liberation of the whole country, Chairman Mao Zedong spoke highly of the revolutionary achievements of the Tibetan and Qiang people during the long march of the Red Army, and affectionately praised them as the unique "yak revolution" in the history of Chinese revolution.

In March 1954, Sichuan Tibetan Autonomous Region (now Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture) established Shujing temple in zhihongyuan for four years. Shujing Temple became the first capital of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, which made great contribution to the establishment and development of Aba Prefecture. In August 1958, the capital of Aba Prefecture moved to ma'erkang, and Li County moved from the original region to Hongyuan to govern Shujing temple. There was a formal system in Hongyuan, so it had the rudiment of today's Hongyuan realm. In July 1960, Hongyuan county was established with the approval of the State Council. It is worth mentioning that Premier Zhou Enlai personally named Hongyuan County, which means the prairie that the red army passed through in the long march.

Development status

Shujingsi town is a transitional area from high mountain gorge to plateau grassland. It is the only agricultural area in Hongyuan county. From the mid-1950s to the early 1990s, the economy was mainly agriculture and animal husbandry, supplemented by forest and sideline industries. Due to the plateau climate of long winter and less summer, it did not produce rice, wheat, corn, sweet potato and other important food crops, but only cultivated highland barley, rape, sugar beet, Hu Dou, cabbage and other related crops.

Until the implementation of the project of returning farmland to forest in 1999, the per capita cultivated land area became less than 0.5 mu, which started the change of coarse agriculture. In view of this, shujingsi district has gradually focused on the development of service, commerce and circulation, and gradually upgraded the service, commerce and circulation industry. By the end of 2003, the GDP of service, commerce and circulation reached 1.83 million yuan. The town now has 51 households engaged in service industry, 105 employees, 31 households engaged in commerce and commerce, 72 employees and 30 employees in a fair market.

Shujing temple takes advantage of its warm and cool climate in summer. Since the establishment of Flammulina velutipes planting demonstration base in 1997, it has attracted 15 foreign Flammulina velutipes growers to invest in the town, with an annual total investment of more than 2 million yuan and an annual output value of more than 4 million yuan. It has solved the employment of 180 people, promoted the investment and planting of 3 local farmers in Shujing temple, and coordinated development of related industries in the region. In terms of agriculture, a large number of lettuce has been planted since 2008. Due to the local climate, lettuce growing in winter in Chengdu plain can grow healthily in the local summer. Therefore, it has become a plateau characteristic off-season vegetable and has become an important economic pillar.

Shujingsi area is also an important place of producing wild fungi and Chinese herbal medicines because of its dense virgin forest and good ecological environment. It is rich in rare fungi and herbal medicines such as Morchella esculenta, Boletus edulis, Tricholoma matsutake, Cordyceps sinensis, Rhodiola rosea and Fritillaria. It is the main trading place of wild fungi and Chinese herbal medicines in Hongyuan County, with an annual turnover of 650000 yuan.
