Up to now, my about has arrived over there tens of second, that is to be located in Hunan to conceive the ancient store that period of a in good condition bright Qing Dynasty saves up to now inside sublimity, be known as Chinese capitalism the ” of “ activation stone of budding period.
若是要谈起从小到大去过的景点，那么我去过最多的便要数古商城了。至今为止，我约莫到过那里数十次，那是位于湖南怀化境内至今保存完好的一座明清时期的古商城，被誉为中国资本主义萌芽时期的“活化石”。
Age of traceable of store of big Jiang Gu, figuration Yu Tangchao, period of Yu Mingqing of at the height of power and splendour. Big river ancient store is waterborne and convenience, its located situation always has what “ clutchs southwest pharynx and larynx and accuse 7 provinces ” to say, because this is in,had waited in order to manage tung-oil, lumber, medicinal material at that time famed at the world, commerce flourishs very. Allegedly bearer of street alley person is gone to at that time, civilian of the merchant that amount to an official gathers, wan Re ” of graph of the river on Pure Brightness of a pair of “ . From Kang Xi later, chinese capitalism is primary the pattern of of all kinds trade of level has taken shape here, ancient store becomes the commercial town of military importance with the the biggest, most flourishing at that time southwest.
洪江古商城起源于春秋，成形于唐朝，鼎盛于明清时期。洪江古商城水运便利，其所处的地理位置素来有“扼西南之咽喉而控七省”之说，因此在当时已经以经营桐油、木材、药材等闻名于世，商业极为繁荣。据说当时街巷人来人往，达官商贾平民云集，宛若一副“清明上河图”。自康熙以后，中国资本主义初级阶段的各类商业形态已经在这里初具规模，古商城成为当时西南地区最大、最繁华的商业重镇。
Big river ancient store is located between landscape, depend on hill and build, road is daedal, rise and fall falls since, street alley is deep and long and narrow, differ with those gardens, court right-down, give a person a kind of uncanny sense.
洪江古商城坐落于山水之间，依山而建，道路错综复杂，起起落落，街巷深而狭长，全然与那些园林、庭院不同，给人一种神秘之感。
This ancient store withheld column of a horizontal inscribed board of period of a lot of bright Qing Dynasty, stone, rank build by laying bricks or stones to wait, modern trade breath did not destroy its appearance, strewn at random building makes sight-seer is not had do not think of here in former days flourishing.
这座古商城保留了许多明清时期的匾额、石栏、阶砌等，现代商业气息并没有破坏它的面貌，错落的建筑使游览者无一不想到这里昔日的繁华。
Of big river ancient store flourishing, in reflecting the character in the history not just. Its gross area has 20 much square metre, among them green flagging has about 8 kilometers. Over there building site is very much, according to textual research, have in big river ancient store save many 380 in good condition Ming Qinggu to build, for example old-style Chinese private bank, mill, shop, basement child canal of bureau of house, darts, smoke, hotel. This is the building that religion of a market, economy, culture is equal to an organic whole, the good name that element has cosmopolitan ” of southwest of ” of small Nanjing of ” of bright phearl of “ West Hunan, “ , “ . What enough of ” of this “ active museum reflects culture of business of period of bright Qing Dynasty is bright with brilliant.
洪江古商城的繁华，不仅仅体现在历史的文字中。它的总面积有20多万平方米，其中的青石板路就有大约8公里。那里房屋旧址甚多，据考证，洪江古商城中现有保存完好的380多栋明清古建筑，例如钱庄、作坊、店铺、窨子屋、镖局、烟管、客栈等。这是一座集宗教、经济、文化等于一体的建筑，素有“湘西明珠”、“小南京”、“西南大都会”之美称。这座“活性博物馆”足以体现明清时期商业文明的灿烂与辉煌。
The beauty of big river ancient store is proper. It is not like the contemporary breath that is apart from its not far phoenix ancient city to be full of dense commonly, its contemporary commercialize reflecting is “ dot arrives to stop namely merely ” ; Also unlike those not the alley of very famous ancient time child general a remnant ash is made of baked clay Bai Qiang, its simple restoring ancient ways always is proper, cannot again much or again little a minute.
洪江古商城之美是恰到好处的。它不似距它不远的凤凰古城一般富有浓重的现代气息，它的现代商业化体现仅仅是“点到即止”；也不像那些并不十分有名的古代的巷子一般只剩灰瓦白墙，它的朴素复古总是恰到好处，不能再多或再少一分。
Once ancient store serves as the ground that be in business, merchant in an endless stream. Now, ancient store becomes heritage of our country culture already, tourist come and go. From ancient up to now of store of big Jiang Gu flourishing not allow to ignore.
曾经的古商城作为经商之地，商贾络绎不绝。今日，古商城已然成为我国文化遗产，游客来来往往。从古至今洪江古商城的兴盛都不容忽视。(文/陈沛然)
