It is the main production area and distribution center of ceramics in northern China. . Shenlong got its name from Jun porcelain and prospered because of ceramics. The word "Shenlong" has been conferred by four emperors and became famous. Jun porcelain culture is an important part and typical representative of Central Plains culture. Shenyu Old Street is commonly known as "Qili Long Street". Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, with the prosperity of the ceramics industry, many wealthy businessmen have purchased fields, built houses, and engaged in business here, and the five villages have gradually been connected together, forming the town of Shenya, which has begun to take shape. It consists of four ancient villages in the south and north. From east to west, there are East Street, West Street, Baiyitang Street, Hongshiqiao Street, Guanyemiao Street and other streets. There are many shops on both sides of the road. The complete ones include Bolingweng Temple, Dengyu Building, Wen Family Courtyard, Bai Family Courtyard, Wang Family Courtyard, Huo Family Courtyard, Miao Family Courtyard, Miao Family Ancestral Hall, etc. There are towers, ancient dwellings, and temples. The monuments witness the prosperity of the town. Walking through the town of Shenga, the ancient streets and the row upon row of old houses seem to bring people back to a distant era. From these buildings, people also witness the glory of the town in the past. "Entering Shenlong Mountain, you can see the ten-mile-long street, seventy-two kilns, fireworks cover the sky, merchants walk everywhere, and every day they make money." At the same time, Shenlong Ancient Town is also the prototype of the TV series "Children of the River" Fengling Village.
