In the south of Funiu Mountain, southwest of Henan Province, on the eastern edge of Nanyang Basin, there is an ancient county town, "Yi Fu Niu and Han Han Shui, Wang Jin basin and Qiong paste; Yang Tian sometimes lived in the land, rich and productive, "she is the town.
The town of Qishi, also known as Qiqi Town, Qiqi Store, Qifang Store, Xinglong Store. Historically, the area of Qiqi Town belonged to Shenboguo, which belonged to Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, Han in the Warring States Period, Biwan County in the Han Dynasty, Nanyang County in the Sui Dynasty, Nanyang Prefecture in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Nanyang County in the Republic of China.

In 1989, it was designated as a historical and cultural town by the Henan Provincial Government; In 2004, it was approved by the People's Government of Henan Province and renamed Yudian Town.
Yudian Town is a famous commercial ancient town and has always been known as the "Yunan Town." According to relevant records, the town was first built during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the Han Dynasty, the social flag had developed into a famous town in the Central Plains, and the economy reached its peak during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Qing Xianfeng period, not only the city walls were built here, but also nine gates were established in imitation of the imperial city regulations. The city is surrounded by sixteen miles, three feet and six feet high, and Ma Dao and Beacon Tower are all available. It is one of the four famous towns in Henan. The private sector is known as the "number of stores in the world". At that time, the town was a flood and drought terminal, the South Boat Beima, the General Department Store, and the Yudao Qinjin Salt Tea Dajia. It was the traffic artery of the nine provinces in the North and South. Merchants from 13 provinces in the country did business here. Only businessmen from all provinces built the fellow halls: Shanshan Hall, Hubei Hall, Jiangxi Hall, Guangdong Hall, Fujian Hall and more than a dozen. The town has a population of 130,000 and there are 72 streets in the town. There are more than a dozen existing ancient streets.
The town is famous for a long time. Qing Dynasty was one of the four famous towns in Henan Province(Zhuxian Town, Huiguo Town, Jingguan Town). According to the "Nanyang County Chronicle" of the 30th year of Qing Emperor Guangxu, it stated: "The shop between Tang Yu and Yu Yu in the east of Yushui is also located in the south of Yuhu Town, 90 miles northeast of the city. "During the Qing Emperor Qianlong and Jiaqing years, the business was prosperous and prosperous. Water transport is well-developed, with Jingchu in the South, Youyi in the North, Fujian and Zhejiang in the East, and cool in the West. It is a commercial port for the distribution of goods in the Central Plains and Jiangnan provinces. In the 20th year of Qianlong(1755), he built the Inspection Department, set up a camp, and put the General Administration. During its heyday, the floating population in the town reached 130,000. 21 Hummer shops are constantly engaged in daily business, and 48 homes are loaded and loaded day and night. Thousands of sails in the day, Wanzhandeng at night. Lin Yu, Chu Xiang song and dance on board, trading lights on the shore. More than 500 companies have set up department stores, 72 street branches are listed, and business is booming.
The first impression of the old town on credit shop is that it is an old place with stories. The grand and ancient buildings silently convey to people that once brilliant, but also described that long and unforgettable times. Being in it, I believe that everyone will have a common feeling, but the understanding that each person experiences and learns different things is not the same. As an ordinary tourist, just relax the mood of casual walk to see, Sincerely sigh the wisdom of the ancients and the history of the past.
古道、古树、古碑、古庙、古井……在伏牛山南麓，河南省西南部，南阳盆地东缘，有一个古老县镇，“依伏牛而襟汉水，望金盆而掬琼浆；仰天时而居地利，富物产而畅人和”，她就是赊店镇。
赊店镇，又名赊旗镇，赊旗店，赊店，兴隆店。历史上赊旗镇地域周属申伯国，春秋时属楚，战国属韩，汉代必宛县，隋属南阳县，明、清为南阳府辖，民国属南阳县。1965年建立社旗县，该镇归社旗县管辖，成为县城所在地，并由周恩来总理亲自圈改，把“赊旗”改为“社旗”，寓意为“社会主义旗帜”。 1989 年被河南省政府定为历史文化名镇；2004 年经河南省人民政府批准复名为赊店镇。
赊店镇是一座远近闻名的商业古镇，一向有“豫南具镇”之称。据有关资料记载：该镇初建于春秋战国时期，在汉朝，社旗就已发展成中原有名的大镇，，到了清代乾隆嘉庆年间经济更是达到鼎盛。清咸丰年间这里不仅修建了城墙，还模仿皇城的规制设立了九座城门。城池环城十六里、高三丈六，马道、烽火台等一应俱全。为河南四大名镇之一。民间有 “天下店数赊店”之称。当时该镇为水旱码头，南船北马，总集百货，尤多秦晋盐茶大贾，为南北九省交通要道，全国有13个省的商人在此经商，仅各省商人建的同乡会馆就有：山陕会馆、湖北会馆、江西会馆、广东会馆、福建会馆等十余个。全镇人口13万，镇内有72道街，现存较为完整的古街道有十余条。
赊店镇出名由来已久。清时为河南省四大名镇( 朱仙镇、回郭镇、荆关镇 ) 之一。据清光绪三十年《南阳县志》载：“育水以东唐泌之间赊店亦豫南巨镇也，在城东北九十里。”清乾隆、嘉庆年间商业兴隆，繁荣异常。水运发达，南通荆楚，北达幽蓟，东连闽浙，西接雍凉，为中原、江南数省货物集散之商埠。乾隆二十年(1755 年)建赊店巡检司、设营讯、把总署。鼎盛时期，镇内流动人口达十三万之众。21 家骡马店朝夕客商不断，48 家过载行日夜装卸不停。白日千帆过，夜间万盏灯。临暮，船上楚湘歌舞达旦，岸上交易灯火如昼。500 多商号总集百货，72 道街分行划市，相聚经营，生意兴隆。
赊店古镇给人第一印象，就是一个古老而有故事的地方。雄伟古老的建筑群向人们默默传递着那曾经的辉煌，也述说着那个漫长而难忘的时代。置身其中，相信每个人都会有共同的感触，只是各人经历、学识不同而得出的理解也不相同罢了。作为普通游客，只是放松心情的随便走走看看，由衷感叹古人的智慧和历史的曾经。
