Xiaohe ancient road, which connects the South and the north of the five ridges, is composed of two parts: land and water. Because of the limitation of transportation at that time, the ancients relied more on waterway transportation. In order to ensure the smooth flow of water, the court often set up states and counties along the river basin to control the traffic lifeline. Today, many city sites left over from Hezhou are quietly telling people about the prosperity of ancient Hezhou. The ancient Ming City of Fuchuan in Fuchuan Yao Autonomous County of Hezhou City is a military ancient city that can be attacked and defended.

Fuchuan County was originally located in the north town of Fuchuan County. Due to the war, the county government was moved to Zhongshan town and then moved to Fuchuan low stone fort. In the spring of the 13th year of Hongzhi (1500) in the Ming Dynasty, mountain torrents broke out, and the flood rushed across the low stone fort. Fuchuan County government moved to the ancient Ming City site, which was first a wall, then a brick wall, and the surrounding earth wall was an ellipse with moats outside.

In the eighth year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1743), four gates were rebuilt with bricks and stones. Each gate was built with big bluestones. Xiaohe ancient road came from the north gate and went out from the south gate.

At that time, the east gate was named Shengping gate, the south gate was named Xiangri gate, the west gate was named TAIDING gate, and the north gate was Yingen gate. At that time, it was very particular about this kind of regulation. From the perspective of the whole city site, it was a city with very good fortification and an ancient city for military use.

The city gate is in the form of upward internal level. 821 to 896 stones are used for each city gate, and the excavation is smooth. The brick and wood structure of the upper city building is surrounded by brick walls. The wall is 50cm thick, with double eaves and hard mountains. On the high wing ridge of the cornice, there are various patterns and grass rolls. The wood column of the inner structure is combined with the beam, brace, tenon and mortise. It is solid, strong and magnificent.

Fuchuan ancient Ming City has a different flower street from other ancient cities in the south of the five ridges. Although they are all paved with pebbles, the flower street of the ancient Ming City is designed according to the Taiji diagram. There are circles, rhombus and ellipses, and the implication of some patterns has not been deciphered until now.

Fuchuan, with eight GUIs in the north and Cangwu in the south, was an important channel to connect the South and the north of Wuling in ancient times. Therefore, the Fuchuan people at that time accepted the Han culture and were the forerunner of the integration of the minority culture in the south of the five ridges and the Han culture in the Central Plains. In the Ming Dynasty, the ceremony of worshiping Confucius in Fuchuan became more and more popular.

Fuchuan Confucian temple was built in the 29th year of Hongwu (1396 A.D.) in the Ming Dynasty. In the first year of Zhengde (1506 A.D.) in the Ming Dynasty, it was moved from Yao Ding, the supervisor, to the city of Fuchuan in the Ming Dynasty. The Confucian temple faces south from the north, with a rectangular general plan. On the central axis, from south to north, it consists of Wanren palace wall, Lingxing gate, panchi, Zhuangyuan bridge, Dacheng gate, Dacheng hall and Chongsheng temple. It is symmetrically distributed on the East and west sides, with a courtyard like layout and brick and wood structure.

The existing Confucian temple in Fuchuan covers an area of 4216 square meters, with only Dacheng hall, east-west veranda and walls.
