Chengxian County was the domain of Yongzhou in Yugong in ancient times. Zhou Wenwang became the southern part of China, and the later filial piety king made Fei Zi belong to Qin, raised horses and died, and the land belonged to Qin. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the White Horse Bianguo. In 221 BC, Qin Shihuang unified China, making the world thirty-six counties, and making it Longxi County, which was called Xiabian Road. Wudu county was originally established, and it was changed to belong to the county, which is still called Xiabian Road. In the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (16 BC), thirteen prefectures were established in the secretariat department, and Wudu County was under the secretariat department of Yizhou. In the 19th year of Song Yuanjia (442), Pingqiuchi entered the Song Dynasty and moved to Wudu County in southern Qin Zhou. In the seventh year of Emperor Taizu of the Northern Wei Dynasty (446), Qiuchi Town was first established and transferred to the county town. In the second year of the Western Wei Dynasty (553), South Qin Zhou was changed to Chengzhou, and Tonggu County was established at the beginning.
Chengxian's historical and cultural heritage Ode to the West Narrow is world-famous. Ode to the West Narrow, the full name of which is Ode to the West Narrow of Ayang in Hanyang, is located at the foot of the patio 13km west of Chengxian County, Longnan City, Gansu Province. Here, the green hills face each other, with a middle stream, pools like pearls, and the traces of the ancient plank road still exist on the cliff. The cliff tablet in Ode to the West Narrow is 22 cm high and 34 cm wide. The inscription is "Hui 'an West Table", with 2 lines and 385 words engraved in the text. The inscription is han li, each word is about 4 cm square, and the strokes are smooth and vigorous. The inscription describes the life of Li Ming, the prefect of Wudu County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his achievements as a local chief executive, praising his moral policy of leading the people to open a narrow road to the west and benefiting the people.
The inscriptions and calligraphy of Ode to the West Narrow are of high archaeological research and copying appreciation value, which once set off a research fever of Ode to the West Narrow in China and Japan. On the tablet, there are 12 lines and 142 words inscribed in small print, which are the same as the main calligraphy style, and were all engraved by Qiu Jing, a native of Chengxian County, Longnan at that time. Li Keran, a famous contemporary Chinese painting master, wrote an inscription "Ode to the West Narrow" on the right side of the cliff tablet. The right side of the text is engraved with the images of Huanglong, Jiahe, Bailu, Mulianli and the people who inherited the dew, which is called "Five Ruitu of Yichi", symbolizing that during Li Ming's administration, the government was in harmony with people, the grain was abundant, and folk music lived there, which is a supplement to the image of the inscription.
After comprehensive evaluation by China Calligraphers' Association and relevant experts and departments, in August 215, it was officially decided to name "Ode to the West Narrow", a cliff stone carving of Han Dynasty in Chengxian County, as "China Calligraphy Monument", which was also the first calligraphy monument awarded by China Calligraphy Association in Gansu Province since this activity.
With the Han Dynasty cliff stone carving "Ode to the West Narrow" being named as a famous calligraphy monument in China, it not only gives Chengxian in Longnan an additional business card for publicity, but also gives a great impetus to the implementation of the project of "Ode to the West Narrow Culture Health Town in Chengxian, China", which has been signed by Chengxian in Longnan and Gansu Civil Aviation Real Estate Investment Co., Ltd.. At the same time, it also provides important cultural support for Chengxian County in Longnan to implement the construction layout of "one district and two domains" and develop global tourism. It will surely turn the "Ode to the West Narrow" calligraphy exhibition into an influential cultural exhibition in Gansu Province and even the whole country, and lay a more solid foundation for establishing Chengxian County in Longnan as "the hometown of calligraphy in China" and "the base of creation and sketching by the Chinese Calligraphy Association".

Du Shaoling Temple, also known as Du Gong Temple and Du Fu Caotang, was built at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, 3.5 kilometers southeast of Chengxian County, and on both sides of Qingni River, in memory of Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu wrote more than a dozen poems in Chengxian, such as Longmen Town, Stone Cave, Jicaoling, Bricklayer Mountain, Phoenix Terrace, Wanzhangtan, Seven Songs Living in Tonggu County in Ganyuan, and Fatonggu County.
in the second year of suzong Ganyuan (ad 759), du fu angered the suzong emperor by telling the truth and was forced to leave the court. He took a family with him, and together with the hungry people who fled, they went west to Qin Zhou. At that time, in Tonggu County (now Chengxian County, Longnan City, Gansu Province), which is more than one hundred miles away from Qin Zhou, there was a county magistrate who was called "a good master" by Du Fu. When he heard that Du Fu had arrived in Qin Zhou, he warmly invited Du Fu to settle down. This "good master" did not worship Du Fu's poetic talent, or took in Du Fu out of pity. He mistakenly thought that Du Fu had been a gleaning around the emperor and was a person who could reach the holy hearing. He made friends with Du Fu in order to let him recommend himself in the future. However, when he met Du Fu and knew that Du Fu could not recommend him, but might be implicated in him, he sent Du Fu away with a meal and never spoke to him again. As a result, Du Fu had to set up a simple hut at the side of Feilong Gorge in Tonggu County, feeding on oak chestnuts and living a hard life.
during his life in Longnan for more than a month, Du Fu wrote more than 2 poems, including Fajing Temple, Longmen Town, Phoenix Terrace, liangdang county Wushi's House on the Yujiang River, etc. In the order of before and after his trip, Seven Songs in the Same Valley is the most famous masterpiece. Because of his special sensitivity to many aspects of social life, his works are full of human feelings, which makes people feel sad and unforgettable. In these poems, he regrets the people's misery, feels sad about the broken mountains and rivers, and resents the heavy taxes imposed by the government; What is particularly commendable is that he broke through the shackles of Confucian loyalty to the monarch and sought a spiritual power to support himself in extreme depression.
This seven-character poem truly and vividly records the arduous life of the poet's family when they were trapped in the same valley. It describes the terrible experience of a family and the great sorrow of separation of flesh and blood. The life described by the poet is: he can't eat enough, "when he picks up oak chestnuts, he will be punished, and Huang Du has no Miaoshan snow"; Its clothes are not covered, "the number of short clothes can't cover the shin, and the hands and feet are frozen and dead"; Its residence is desolate and dilapidated, "the ancient city of Artemisia annua can't open the clouds, and the white fox jumps over the beam and the yellow fox stands"; Its appearance is aging, "a hundred heads of hair hang over the ears"; Its posture is weak, "the body is not famous and the body is old, and the three people are thin and who is strong"; His mood is pessimistic and desperate. "Men groan and women sing in silence, and the west wind comes from the sky for me"; Its whereabouts are erratic, "three years of hunger and barren hills." In his poems, the author not only emphasized his guest status and miserable life, but also exposed the abnormal political phenomenon of the snake swimming in the court at that time from home and country, and also sighed and shouted at the injustice of his ambition.
The cultural complex that is hard to give up makes Longnan people forget Du Fu. Chengxian expanded the place where Du Fu lived into Du Fu Ancestral Temple, and later renamed Du Fu Caotang, which has become a key tourism project and a rare cultural landscape in Longnan. In fact, Du Fu only stayed here for more than a month and didn't build a room. Why can he say "don"? It's just a way to commemorate the poet. Du Fu's more than 1 Longyou poems are outstanding works with milestone significance, which have reached new heights in ideology and artistry after Du Fu's "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells".

The following year, the analysis of Ju (now Lueyang, Shaanxi Province) was completed, and it was resumed as a ode to remember its beginning and end. "Ode to the West Narrow" is a cliff stone carving, written by Jing, and written in calligraphy. The writings and books are all ancient and elegant, but the name of Jing is not found in historical records. It is a pity. Hatred is a long word, and it distinguishes people. Lingdi Jianning was an official of Wudu County. In 172 AD (the first year of Xiping), the analysis of Ju Li Bridge became a book ode. Calligraphy is a must. With millet, I don't know its Curie surname. In 91-94 AD (the year after year in Tang Zhaozong), the emperor moved to Qiqi with the chaos of Zhu Wen, and the queen Ho's hunting was excessive, and she flew hundreds of miles away from the two houses. Tongguzi is walking across the green cattle, writing on things, and chanting "Song of Five Sons". After thinking about it, the king of Qin was secretly punished by the camera, and the matter was gone without doing it. The emperor returned to Chang 'an, sent an envoy to call him, and fled. Therefore, the hidden name is an irrigation garden in Hanyang. Wei Zhang, whose word is Deyuan, is a native of Cheng Song, nicknamed "Zhang Gongyan" and "Zhang Stork Eye". At the beginning, he chose the cavalry of the front army, and he won many battles with the Jin people. Later, he took over the control of the deputy state capital and moved to Mianzhou capital, and made many meritorious deeds. After attacking Qin Zhou in vain, he stopped fighting and died in Lizhou, where he was finally observed by Yangzhou. Zhang Shu, whose name is Ke Ting, was born in Zhangqizhai, Qingcheng County, was a tribute student of Xin Youke in Jiaqing, and was appointed as the first-class official of the Ministry of Punishment by the official. He was honored as a "teacher" by Emperor Jiaqing, and was praised as "clearing the lights at night" by people in Jiaqing. He was a famous Beijing official during Jiaqing years.

The dragon dance, which is popular all over Chengxian County, has a unique shape and extraordinary momentum. In addition to the unique dance method, the production skills of dragon lanterns are also different from those of ordinary dragon lanterns. Its dance rules are based on inheriting the skills of ancient traditional dragon dance, absorbing, applying and giving play to the special features of Chinese traditional folk dance and classical opera dance, which are "combining rigidity with softness, softness with rigidity, and combining rigidity with softness". It is suitable for the special terrain in mountainous areas and has been continuously developed and innovated in wide spread. In terms of artistic style, the dragon dance in Shangcheng is unique and famous for its colorful, varied, vigorous and lively performance forms. Their dragon dances are divided into twelve, nine and seven sections, and most of them are made of silk or colored paper. The dragon body is painted with gold scales in cloth, and the "flame" cut by red cloth hangs on both sides, and the dragon tail is made of bamboo branches. Under each section, a barrel-shaped lantern pasted with red paper or HongLing can be used to light candles at night, which is called a dragon lantern. When dancing the dragon, one person holds a piece, with the leader who holds the palm of his hand as the leader, dancing in full swing, or crossing the street, or circling the circus, or sweeping the ground ... The dragon head rises, each piece follows closely, and everyone dances at the same time, accompanied by percussion music of gongs, drums and cymbals, and taking the steps of "two dragons playing with pearls", "dragon plate jade column" and ". Especially when the dragon dance reaches its climax, the dragon dancers should try their best to jump, roll, or lie on the ground, so as to show the changes of a dragon vividly. Looking from a distance, a dragon is churning and jumping, with a passion and a boldness. The dragon dancers seem to have pinned their ideals and expectations on this dragon, which seems to make people dance alive. At this moment, people no longer regard the dragon as a symbol of auspicious totem in ancient times, but as a strength, a spirit and a belief!
In Dachuan, Chengxian County, on the north bank of the rhinoceros River, there has been an elegant and cheerful folk custom-"stepping on the word of blessing" since ancient times. This unique folk custom can be called a unique one in the traditional Spring Festival celebrations in Longnan. The activity of "stepping on the blessing" is generally held from the tenth to the fifteenth day of the first month of each year. During the Spring Festival, folk artists from Dachuan, Wangyao and Zhaizi villages on the north bank of the rhinoceros River and neighboring villages such as Hewan, Lishan and Gongshan on the other side of the river have been busy for a long time. Every village should organize a community fire, which usually means stepping on the word "fu" first and then singing a short piece of opera. The mutual exchange of performances between villages means that they wish each other good luck, and the second is to close the relationship between villages. In fact, they are rehearsing for the large-scale "stepping on the word" on the fifteenth day of the first month. The performance procedure of "stepping on the word" is generally divided into three stages, the first is stepping on the word; Secondly, singing operas, such as The Dragon and the Phoenix, Family Portrait, Birthday Celebration, Color Building Matching, and Wen Guang Zheng Xi, are usually performed. Finally, it is called "Qiang Qiang" (screaming).
