Poetry and Ballads are characterized by chanting the customs. They are a description and memory of people living in the area at that time. They contain rich historical and geographical contents, and are filled with strong local flavour and cultural individuality. We can see the historical geography of Hejiang from relevant poems and ballads. There are beautiful natural scenery, rich products and colourful folk customs. Salt and other goods transported through the Sichuan Guizhou ancient road are traded here, and finally a prosperous town is formed. Through these poems and ballads, we can understand the living, economic and cultural conditions in Hejiang history. Through the analysis of historical materials, we can explore more historical and cultural resources, which is of positive significance to the publicity and development of Hejiang.
