summary

Shuangqiao town is located in Dawu County, seven kilometers north of the road side, a water from the Dabie Mountains flowing through the east of the town. During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the Wu army led by Sun Wu went to attack Chu from here. Dawu Shuangqiao Town, as early as in the northern and Southern Dynasties, has formed a village. The shape of the ancient town is relatively compact, with Jieshan in the West and huanshui in the East. The historical town began to be built near the stone bridge at the north end during the northern and Southern Dynasties, and gradually developed to the stone bridge at the south end along the main street between the ancient post road at the foot of Jieshan and huanshui. Because Shuangqiao town is located between Xiaohe Town in Xiaochang County and sanlicheng town in Dawu County, Shu River passes through Shuangqiao Town, and the water and land transportation is very convenient, so it forms a market and has the custom of double day in the lunar calendar. At that time, the ancient town was rich in wood, cloth dyeing, rice and grain, attracting merchants from all over the world. There are many shops on both sides of the street, which used to be a developed commercial street.

Ancient street style

Shuangqiao street is about 350 meters long and 5 meters wide, with three residential tunnels extending from the main street to the river bank, forming an "e" shaped skeleton. The streets of the ancient town are paved with blue stone slabs, and the houses on both sides of the street are both residential and commercial. On the stone strips of the street, there are deep but smooth tracks. You can imagine the busy scene of the wheelbarrow running over the street. From the south to the north, the dilapidated city gate still exists, the stone gate sill and the stone slab road are rutted, smooth and shiny, the two-story pavilions of 100 old shops are the same, the ancient gate, the ancient windows, the stone pillars, the stone piers, the carved beams, the painted buildings, the simple tile green walls, the stone courtyard, and several old houses are connected.

In the center of the ancient town, there is a baroque style Christian church built in the late Qing Dynasty, which is called "foreign house" by local people. There were many believers in the ancient town, and the church was a main gathering place for the residents at that time.
