I traveled to Xichuan Jingziguan in Henan

This is the largest ancient architectural complex in Jingziguan, the Shan-Shaanxi Guild Hall, and it is also my first time entering the hall. Jingziguan Ancient Town is located in Xichuan County, Henan Province, more than 70 kilometers away from the county seat, at the junction of Henan, Hubei, and Shaanxi provinces, and is known as 'one foot stepping into three provinces.' It is famous for its well-preserved Ming and Qing ancient streets. The ancient street is located in the center of the town, with the south end being the gate. The Wei stele-style characters 'Jingziguan' on the gate lintel are vigorous and powerful. The bluestone column bases on both sides of the gate make it even more stable. Stepping through the gate, what comes into view is the ancient street running north to south. The street is more than two kilometers long, with the road surface all paved with bluestone slabs, flat and clean. There are more than 700 shops on both sides of the street, all in the style of Ming and Qing folk commercial architecture, with upturned eaves and carvings, ancient and quaint, mostly with a front shop and a backyard layout. The shops facing the street are inlaid with thick wooden black lacquered doors, which are pulled open during the day and closed at night, convenient for business. Pinglang Palace is located on the east side of the south street of Jingziguan, facing east to west, facing the Danjiang River, with a gray tile roof. A marble plaque is embedded above the door lintel, with the words 'Pinglang Palace' written horizontally. On the south side of the door is inscribed 'Wind Calm,' and on the north side 'Waves Quiet.' There is a side door on each side of the main gate tower, and outside the side doors are the bell tower and drum tower. The bell and drum towers have 'winged corners' that rise at the four corners, giving a sense of agility.
