Introduction to Xizhou Bronze Pillars: Xizhou Bronze Pillars are important documents for studying the ancient history of Tujia people. Tujia people regard copper pillars as sacred objects. The copper pillar weighs five thousand kilograms and is two feet high. It has six cores in the ground. It is eight-sided in shape and hollow. It is filled with a huge amount of money. The end of the pillar is covered with a copper top. The body of the pillar is engraved with the terms of peace negotiations with Ma Xifan after Peng Shichou's defeat and the history of the war. . This column was originally erected in the ancient city of Xiaxizhou. In 1969, the Fengtan Reservoir on the lower reaches of the You River was built, and the copper column was in the submerged area. With the approval of the State Council, the bronze pillars were moved to Wangcun in November of that year, making the thousand-year-old town even more shining. They are now in the Folk Customs and Scenery Museum.
