Description:
On May 19, 2019, China Post issued a set of four
special stamps titled “Ancient Towns of China (III)” with a total face value of
4 yuan. The pictures on the stamps are titled “Yangliuqing Town in Xiqing,
Tianjin”, “Guangfu Town in Yongnian, Hebei”, “Nianbadu Town in Jiangshan,
Zhejiang” and “Furong Town in Yongshum, Hunan” respectively.
Yangliuqing Town, located in Xiqing District,
Tianjin, occupies a location of strategic importance adjacent to Beijing, the
capital of China. Historically, the town served as a significant transport hub
along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, earning itself the reputation “Jiangnan
in the North”. The town is also the cradle of the Yangliuqing New Year Picture,
one of the four most famous woodblock New Year pictures in China, and folk
crafts including brick carving, paper-cut and kite are also thriving here.
Nowadays, the ancient town still preserves historical sites and cultural
legacies such as the Wenchang Pavilion, Shi Family Courtyard and Puliang
Pagoda. They compose a beautiful picture of Yangliuqing folk customs together
with ancient streets featuring the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty,
picturesque landscapes of the old canal, and colorful folk arts.
Guangfu
Town, located in southeastern Yongnian District, Handan City, Hebei Province,
is noted for its profound historical culture, enchanting landscapes of a
northern-style water town, and far-reaching Tai Chi culture. The town is home
to abundant historical sites and cultural relics including the Guangfu Ancient
City and the Hongji Bridge. Streets and lanes crisscross around the town,
retaining its original layout comprised of “four main avenues, eight small
streets and 72 zigzagging lanes”. The ancient town is surrounded by a moat,
beyond which is a vast expanse of swamps growing lush reeds, fish and shrimp,
and lotus flowers and inhabited by wild geese and other water birds, creating
an impressive vista of a water town. It is also known as a birthplace of Tai
Chi – the famous Yang style and Wu (Hao) style both originated here.
Nianbadu Town is located at the southwestern
tip of Jiangshan City. Zhejiang Province, deep in the Xianxialing Mountains on
the border of Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. It has a history of more
than 1,000 years. In the past, due to its crucial geographical location, the
town was a place contested by strategists of various dynasties. Currently, the
historical town is home to a large amount of well-preserved ancient streets,
old residences and historical architectural complexes of the Ming and Qing
dynasties. Those buildings combine the architectural styles of Zhejiang, Anhui
and Jiangxi, as well as Hakka style of northern Fujian and even European style.
Historically, it received countless immigrants from other parts of the country,
which enabled the town to have plentiful clans and dialects, hence its nickname
“Town with One Hundred Surnames and Kingdom of Dialects”.
Furong Town, formerly called Wangcun, is located in Yongshun County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. It derived today’s name from the film Furong Town that was shot in the town. With a history of more than 3,000 years, the ancient town is a major birthplace and habitat of the Tujia ethnic group. In ancient times, it served as an important passage and enjoyed the reputation of “Magnificent Town of Youyang”. Furong Town boasts picturesque landscapes. A waterfall runs through the town, and it is thus hailed as a “millennia-old town hung on the waterfall”. Tranquil and zigzagging streets and lanes, Tujia stilt houses built on the riverside, and the 2.5-kilometer street paved with stone planks add some distinctive Tujia ethnic flavor to the town.
