Description of our community

    Our school is located at the Tianquan county in Sichuan Ya'an, the edge of the Sichuan basin western area. There are different mountain to bordering Tibet and the Han nationality people area. The ancient tea-and-horse trade road is located here. It is said that this way has two lines; one is the Yuannan Pu’er tea coming to India through more than 17 places. The other is from Ya’an through, Tianquan, Luding, Kangding, Batang, Changdu, to Lasah, and then Nepol, India. Our county has the several hundred miles, as early as the Tang dynasty; there is the market for the tea and horse exchange. At that time, the market is till the middle of Qing dynasty. There is a dialect that the ancient tea-and-horse trade road is in the history of Tibet and the Han nationality get along forever.
    Through Ya’an to Tibet, is the way stamp by many carriers. All their hard can only be seen the crosier nest on the stone board. In order to the fast, the carrier always finds the small way to Tibet for the tea---the need of the people. There are two ways one is western Diaomen, Ganxipo, Xianrenqiao, Zishiguan, Darenyan, Changhe River and then Ciqiuping. Another one is Changheba, Yuemen shankan, Maanshan. Now we can still see the marks of the ancient tea-and-horse trade road. With the fast development of the industry and city, this is away from people sight for a long time. Owing to the title, we lead the people deeply to the witness of the friendship after hundred years.
