The waterfront is a very valuable resource for a city, an opportunity for people to escape the crowds and stresses of urban life, and a place where people can get a breath of fresh air in urban life. Throughout history, cities have thrived on water, and each city has a river that accompanies it, writing a long scroll of humanities of urban civilization. The same is true of the Fenhe River. The former thousand acres of wasteland are now artificial wetlands, standing in the Qingxu section of the Fenhe River, looking at the water in a roundabout way between the green plants, and the birds soaring freely, which is pleasing to the eye. The environment is good, swans, egrets are coming, but also attracted a large number of tourists to Qingxu, while tasting the old Shanxi old vinegar, while quietly listening to the long history of ancient buildings such as Qingyuan Confucian Temple and Yaocheng.
Water sleeves gently raise the new wetland
In early winter, the Qingxu section of the Fenhe Wetland in Shanxi Province welcomes a large number of beautiful "environmental protection birds" - egrets, which are in groups of three or five, or stop and roost, or leisurely stroll on the shoal sandbar, or spread their wings among the blue sky and blue sky, or frolic between the rivers for food, or roost on the trees on the shore.
From the Second Dam of the Fenhe River to the Qinan'an Bridge along the Fenhe River, in this Fenshui water full of the charm of early winter, fish dive birds and chase and play, forming a beautiful picture of vitality.
Since Shanxi Province launched the battle to control the Fenhe River Basin, Qingxu County has continued to increase the comprehensive treatment of the Fenhe River in accordance with the requirements of the province and city, focusing on strengthening ecological construction and environmental protection, actively carrying out the prevention and control of air, water and soil pollution, comprehensively promoting the overall improvement of the water ecological environment in the Qingxu section of the Fenhe River, and realizing the improvement of the fenhe river's water quantity, good water quality and beautiful scenery.
According to the requirements of creating a national forest city, combined with the actual situation of the county, the county has formulated a series of action plans to "steadily carry out the ecological protection and restoration of the Fenhe River Basin", focusing on the implementation of comprehensive treatment within the greening range of 100 meters outside the embankment on both sides of the main stream of the Fenhe River, and the construction of the Fenhe Revetment Forest.
The Fenhe Wetland, which is under continuous management, has become clear in water and lush with aquatic grass, becoming a natural oxygen bar, attracting swans, egrets, herons, golden eagles, crested ibises and other water birds and birds of prey. The water sleeve gently raises the new wetland, and the Qinggeman dances the egret flies. Whether a city is livable or not can be reflected in the wings of birds.
In addition, the county also started the construction of the Fenhe River main stream tributaries into the estuary artificial wetland project involved in the expansion of the Yuguqiao artificial wetland, the northeast of the river total retreat canal artificial wetland, Wuxiangmin total retreat canal artificial wetland and Hexi general retreat canal artificial wetland 4 artificial wetlands, the completion of a thousand acres of wetland will be the Fenhe South north and south of the convergence, further changed the ecological outlook of the whole qingxu area.
Shanxi aged vinegar through the bottle of incense
The agile water birds of the Qingxu Fenhe Wetland add idyllic interest to the city, and the long history of the old brand is endlessly reminiscent.
"Since ancient times, the number of vinegar in Shanxi, the number of vinegar in Shanxi is Clear and Xu." As the birthplace of old vinegar in Shanxi, Qingxu has made great contributions to China's vinegar industry in the evolution of vinegar history for more than 4,000 years.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the development of old vinegar in Shanxi reached its peak, and a large number of vinegar workshops such as "Baoyuanfang", "Shuntai", "Tongtaiqing" and "Meiheju" also emerged in Qingxu. With the footsteps of Jin merchants going south and north, Shanxi old chen vinegar spread throughout the north and south of the river, becoming a favorite condiment of people, known as "the world's first vinegar".
Qingxu old vinegar has a bright color, hangs on the wall of the bowl, integrates brewing incense, material aroma, mellow aroma and ester incense, and enjoys the elegant name of "through the bottle incense" in the folk. This is because the main raw material of old chen vinegar is the high-quality red sorghum planted in Qingxu and Jinzhong, with barley, peas and various kinds of fur bran as auxiliary materials, using red heart ququ as the fermentation agent, through reasonable ingredients, steaming, anaerobic wine, solid acetic acid fermentation, and then through high temperature smoking, high and low tank leaching, high standard aging.
"Baoyuanfang" was founded in the three years of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 500 years. Baoyuan old vinegar was once used as a royal tribute of the Ming and Qing dynasties, writing a brilliant chapter for the vinegar industry in Shanxi. However, with the advancement of history, in the Republic of China period, due to the devastation of famine and war in the Jinzhong area, Baoyuan Old Vinegar Fang closed down.
In order to excavate the profound historical and cultural connotation of old vinegar, carry forward the vinegar culture of Shanxi, and let the world understand the historical origin and traditional production process of old vinegar, the original appearance of the vinegar mill in the Ming and Qing dynasties was restored on the site of Baoyuanfang, that is, in Yangfang Village, Qingxu County, and restored the production process, vinegar making utensils, tools and clothing, from vinegar raw materials to finished products, the ancient vinegar scene was reproduced step by step.
Today, Baoyuan Old Vinegar Fang is the Taiyuan Youth Inheritance Education Base, the first batch of industrial tourism demonstration attractions in Taiyuan City, and the Qingxu Old Vinegar Brewing Technique Museum in Shanxi Province.

Qingxu Chen vinegar tastes mellow, Qingxu grapes and fruits are sweet and juicy, and the Liuwei Zhaiyun Mengwu Cultural Industrial Park built on the Xugou section of National Highway 208 is full of meat aroma.
"Old Baifen in Xinghua Village, Liuwei Zhai in Taiyuan City." The sauce meat of Liuwei Zhai has always been a delicacy on the table of Taiyuan people. Founded in the heyday of the Qianlong Dynasty in 1738, the Chinese time-honored Liuwei Zhai was once a royal tribute, enjoying a reputation as a Beijing master, and is now a famous food in the Three Jins, well-known inside and outside. Its long history and mature craftsmanship are unique among Chinese meat production enterprises in the country, and enjoy the three national honors of "China Well-known Trademark", "Chinese Time-honored Brand" and "National Intangible Cultural Heritage".
"Yunmengwu" means the main product of Liuwei Zhai, the sauce elbow flower, which originates from the cold burning "Tangled Flower Cloud Dream Meat" at the time of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so it is named after the word "Cloud Dream". In addition to covering different types of modern factories, the entire park also has historical and cultural exhibition halls, cultural and creative parks, etc. In this 500 acres of land, the legendary history of the history of the emperor and his courtiers, the entry of folk cuisine into the court, and the return of court cuisine to the people is vividly reflected.

Strolling through the Liuwei Zhaiyun Mengwu Cultural Industrial Park, visitors are invited to a journey of historical exploration and a journey of fantastic food.
The relics of ancient buildings are full of vicissitudes
The Fenhe River runs through the north and south, and Qingxu, which has the reputation of "a famous cultural city and a vinegar capital", has a long history and profound cultural heritage, and is an important part of the Civilization of the Three Jins. According to relevant historical records, during the Qing Dynasty, Sui, and Tang Dynasties, it was already famous throughout the country, and there were 206 people above the level of people and the first people in the imperial examination and the first, 18 people in wujinshi, and 170 people in wuju in history. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, wang Jiefu, the chief soldier of Taiwan who built a meritorious sea frontier, and Wen Chengbi, who sent troops to Jinchuan, guanzhi to the general soldiers, and the governor, gave birth to the famous eunuch Qiao Songnian and Wu Zhuangyuan Jia Tingzhao.
The existing Qingyuan Confucian Temple and Hutu Temple in Qingxu are national cultural relics protection units. Qingyuan Confucian Temple is located in the north of Qingyuan Town, Qingxu County, and is connected to the City God Temple, constituting the ancient architectural complex of the City God Temple of the Confucian Temple. The Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple is a precious early architectural relic, which has a certain representative representation in the architectural remains of the Jin Dynasty. The yellow and green dragon glass in front of the temple of literature is a major feature of the Qingyuan Temple of Literature, although the carved dragon has gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the color has not changed, but the dragon's mouth and the dragon body have been damaged.
The Hutu Temple was built to commemorate the Spring and Autumn Period of the Jin Dynasty, the Grand Master Fox Tu, was built in the first year of Jin Mingchang, and was rebuilt during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. There are 8 yuan dynasty painted statues in the hall, the statues of the fox and the tu are sitting in the center, flanked by 6 statues of handmaidens, and the horizontal plaque of "Three Jin Famous Ministers" is hung between the front eaves.
In addition, Yaocheng Village, Mengfeng Town, Qingxu County, was the capital of the early Tang Dynasty. There is a courtyard temple restored in yaocheng in the Ming Dynasty, of which the yaowang hall is a beamless hall, and there are ancillary buildings such as the grandma temple, the fox fairy temple, and the opera stage. The Yaowang Hall of the Yao Temple in Qingxu County is not only peculiar in architecture, but also has three mysterious monsters - bright lanterns, night moons, and dry toads. That is to say, every night, the lights of the South Gate Tower can accurately hit the statue; the moonlight can reflect on the four corners of the temple at night; and the toads outside the city seem to come out of the temple, and this phenomenon has not been solved so far.
In any case, the Qingxu Yao City and Linfen Yao Temple are important places for people to worship Emperor Yao, and they are sacred places for the descendants of Yan huang at home and abroad to seek their roots and worship their ancestors.
Outside the city, Qingshan Inner City Lake, fenhe river runs through the north and south of Qingxu, the former desert beach has been treated, turned into an artificial wetland that combines flood discharge, water purification and landscaping, which not only attracts more birds to stop and roost, but also adds more charm to the county town, and has become the first choice for weekend excursions for surrounding tourists.
