地图上看,从凉山州府西昌市到会东县,几乎是走一条由北向南的纵线。人们喜欢把这里称为“金边银角”之地,取金沙江边和满银沟盛产铁矿之意形象联想;顺着这样的思路,我则更愿意把会东唤作边城——无论对于凉山彝族自治州,还是整个四川而言,它其实都算得上处于最南端,渡过金沙江,就是云南省地界了。 Map, from Liangshan Prefecture Xichang to Huidong County, is almost a vertical line from north to south. People like to refer to here as the place of “Phnom Penh Silver Point,” taking the image of the idea of ​​an iron ore mine on the banks of the Jinsha River and its rich silversmiths. Following such a thinking, I am more willing to call the eastward town the border town - Regardless of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, or the entire Sichuan terms, it is actually considered the most southern end, crossing the Jinsha River, is the boundary of Yunnan Province.
