十五、宜宾之旅 Travel in Yibin （一）概述 General Introduction 宜宾位于四川盆地南缘，云、贵、川三省结合部，有2100多年的建城史，是中国历史文化名城，因岷江和金沙江在宜宾城区汇合始称长江，有“万里长江第一城”之称；又因盛产名酒五粮液，素有中国“酒都”之称。全市辖长宁、兴文等1区9县，人口515万，幅员面积13283平方千米。 Yibin is located on the southern edge of Sichuan, where Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan meet. It was a very important place in southwest China in ancient times；It is a famous cultural and historic city and also the hometown of the famous Chinese wine, Wuliangye Liquor, that’s why it’s always called the“City of Chinese Wine”. It also has a reputation of “The First City along the Yangtze River” because Jinsha River and Minjiang River meet at Hejiangmen Gate at the centre of the city, then flow eastward. 宜宾人刚毅不屈，耿直爽朗，类似重庆人。浓烈的美酒、辛辣的火锅是他们的待客之道，江边一溜儿的大排挡，是他们悠闲丰润的生活，其乐虽小，倒也融融，令人羡慕。 The towering mountains symbolize the courage, honesty and outgoing personality of the Yibin people. Different from gentle Chengdu people, Yinbin people’s personality is more like that of Chongqing people, because the same high mountains and big river have given them the same strong personality. They treat their guests with their strong wine and spicy hotpot, and large numbers of small restaurants by the river indicates their relaxed life. The joy people get from every little thing is the essence of their happy life. 雄浑的三江水滚滚东流，孕育了宜宾灿烂的酒文化。早在战国时期，这里的居民就擅长农耕、酿酒；直至今天，五粮液更是成为宜宾人乃至国人的骄傲。“一枝独秀蜀山水，千种佳酿总宜宾”，宜宾三千多年的酒文化源远流长。 The three big rivers flowing eastward have given birth to the brilliant thousand year long culture of Yibin. Wine is the soul of Yibin. Early in the Warring States Period, Yibin people were good at farming and winemaking. Until today, Wuliangye Liquor is still the pride of Yinbin people and even the pride of Chinese people. “The mountains and rivers in Sichuan are uniquely beautiful, and thousands of good wine can be found in Yibin” the line suggests the three-thousand-year long culture of winemaking in Yibin. 珙县的僰人悬棺是中外学者至今未能解开之谜，绵延流传了几千年的僰文化熠熠生辉，经久不衰。中国自然区的国家级风景名胜蜀南竹海“化腐朽为神奇”的竹雕工艺品以竹为主题的全竹宴This ancient
