Five blue-chip Township, Village, more than 73-year-old Qiang Liang Yuping memories, according to accounts of the ancestors, a large stockade of people are migrating over from Mao.
It describes, in Chong years of living in Maoxian Qiang compatriots have migrated to the young film River, population continues to multiply and develop into a rhino Village, camel Li Wan Chai Chai and tea and so on. Qinglongshan the stockade for the largest, and is known as a large stockade. Large stockade in the development process, the same reasons as a flourishing population, have to continue to develop to a higher hill to form the upper, middle and lower three stockade. According to local people said that in the early Republic of China in large stockade people living there are 88. After the field investigation by the local cultural relics department, this number is no exaggeration.
At Green River for the film spawned a thriving and Qianlong, "Shiquan County," there is such a description: "The fan said Shiquan blue chip, scattered Shiquan Mao Shan state, the stretching hundreds of years, aggressive to the good at, not the day to discuss for some time now.

Retain the cultural imprint on the mountain
Tibetan stone house from the big move down the mountain stone stockade, the Luo Chengyang new home built on a river. A day when nothing, he would quietly sitting on the wooden front of the lookout to the opposite hillside, where the land and his livelihood.
