The Enduring Cultural Legacy of Guanxian

Guanxian Ancient City (present-day Dujiangyan City), with origins tracing back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, possesses a profound historical and cultural heritage. Streets like Wenmiao Street, the ancient city walls, and architecture rich with Ming and Qing influences all speak of its past prosperity. Notably, the Wenmiao (Confucian Temple), once the largest county-level Confucian temple in Western Sichuan, is acclaimed as "China’s Only Living Confucian Temple." Wandering through its neighborhoods, one encounters vibrant red wish-bearing strips, quaint tea houses, and exquisite brick carvings—each reflecting the unique cultural charm and living traditions of Western Sichuan. It is an exceptional destination for exploring the ancient Shu civilization and the legacy of water conservancy culture. #hellohalloween
