In the fourth year of Song Xianping (100 1), the imperial court designated Sichuan as the 4th Sichuan Gorge Road, one of which was Zizhou Road [Santai]. Zizhou, the second largest city in Sichuan in the eighth century, is magnificent and has developed transportation. On the Kaijiang River, an important traffic artery in northern Sichuan, ships come and go in an endless stream. On these docks, Du Fu, a great poet who lived here for nearly two years, was sent to meet him many times, reciting poems and composing poems. Let's look at it: "There are countless rafts on the Fujiang River, and there is always the sound of radius" ("Sending the Cuidu Shuiweng to Xiaxia") reflects the busyness of the Fujiang River in Zizhou section of the transportation hub; The beautiful night in Zizhou City comes from "the night is light and the river is full." ("Playing the Moon as the King of Hanzhong") can be seen; How standardized is the layout of Zizhou City: "The road goes out of the double forest and the pavilion looks into the well" (looking at the Niutou Mountain Pavilion). From these poems, a quiet and beautiful medieval city picture is presented to us. Zizhou City, as the provincial administrative organization at that time-the provincial capital of Jianchuan, was large in scale, with high walls and even higher towers. Among Du Fu's poems, there are many poems about climbing Zizhou Tower, such as Climbing Zizhou Tower on the 9th, Climbing Zizhou Tower in Spring, Waiting for the Chapter, Attending the Royal Banquet South Tower and so on. These poems are the same as other mountaineering poems. You can imagine how prosperous it was hundreds of years ago. Now Chengdu is the largest city in southwest China, but we can only look for and relive its magnificent scenery from such a broken-down building.
