The Xiqin Guild Hall is a local guild hall where salt merchants from Shaanxi Province gathered for business meetings in the Qing Dynasty. It is not only an artistic masterpiece in the treasure house of ancient Chinese architecture, but also a rare cultural relic in the history of the development of the salt industry. ?Zigong has a history of producing salt for nearly 2,000 years. The first salt well in Zigong, the "Fushi Salt Well", was dug during the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the territory of Jiangyang County (today's Fushun County) at that time. Among the many salt wells in Zigong, the Shenhai Well is very famous. It is the world's first well over a thousand meters deep. It was drilled in 1835 using the percussion drilling method, with a depth of 1,001.42 meters. Its drilling marked the beginning of ancient China. Drilling technology matures. Now Shenhaijing still retains its original appearance and is open to the public as an attraction. ?The museum reproduces the evolution and development of well salt production technology in terms of drilling, brine mining, natural gas mining, and salt production. It shows the ancient well salt production technology centered on deep well drilling technology, and embodies the wisdom and wisdom of the working people of past generations. Creative ability, the Qing Dynasty well-drilling machinery on display relies on human power to hit the rocks at the bottom of the well with an iron drill bit, which can drill salt wells to a depth of more than a thousand meters; there are as many as 10 drill bits used to drill into various rock formations. The remaining species, these are important cultural relics in the history of world drilling. ?Walking into the Salt History Museum allowed me to see the history of well salt for two thousand years and the wisdom of early people. Overall, I feel that the trip was worthwhile, broadening my horizons and learning a lot of knowledge.
