The small town of Xiangxi has many stories

In the 18th year of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Jie, the Imperial Censor of Huguang, inspected the military defenses and passed through Luqi, where many people were infected with malaria. After a difficult journey to Lvdongshan Village in the Miao Village of Lengzhai River, an old woman used local tea leaves to make a soup for them to drink. Half an hour later, the symptoms of the soldiers infected with malaria disappeared. Lu Jie was very pleased and gave the old woman one tael of gold, and reported the details to the court. To reward the Miao Village, the court named Lvdongshan Village as Golden Village, and the tea produced here was called 'Golden Tea.' Since then, the story of 'one tael of gold for one tael of tea' has been widely spread in Xiangxi. This is my first time in Xiangxi. Walking through the ancient city, I found that it still retains the bluestone roads and the small river flows calmly, giving it a unique charm. It is said that small towns have many stories. Mr. Shen Congwen's 'Border Town' almost won the Nobel Prize in Literature. I think it must have its literary value and content. In addition, the yellow peaches of Xiangxi are also very delicious, 3 jin/10 yuan, very affordable. The surrounding attractions; Phoenix Ancient City, Zhangjiajie, Furong Town, each have their own characteristics...
