The history of Hui’an ancient city?

Chongwu Ancient City Pictures Chongwu Ancient City Scenic Area is a characteristic tourist scenic spot integrating coastal scenery, historical relics, and folk customs and sculpture art. It has always been called the "natural studio" and "Beidaihe in the South" by the world. Chongwu Ancient City is the only relatively complete stone city remaining in my country. It is also a relatively complete historical site in the history of my country's coastal defense. It is a "national key cultural relics protection unit".

Chongwu Ancient City is located on the southeast coast of Hui'an County, close to the Taiwan Strait. It was built by Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia in the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1387), to resist Japanese pirates when he was conducting coastal defense operations. In the first year of Longqing (1567), famous anti-Japanese generals Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou regarded their master Chongwu, and the stone inscription "Weizhen Haibang" inscribed on the north gate of the city gate was passed down as written by Qi. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1651), Zheng Chenggong stationed here to fight against the Qing Dynasty. It is said that there are "horseshoe stones" left behind. In 1988, it was listed as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council. Ancient City: Inside and outside the ancient city of Chongwu, there are more than 20 ancient architectural remains such as palaces, temples and temples that were built in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties respectively and have been repaired and continued to this day. Together with the ancient city, they form a group of historical sites that can be visited to reflect the ancient times. In particular, one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Mount Da'an" on Da'an Mountain, 3 kilometers outside the city, is "Dragon's Throat Dawn Smoke", which is known as the most scenic spot in Hui'an. There are also cliff stone carvings by literati and poets who described the history of the ancient city, such as "Lion and Rock Shine at Night" There are also Neolithic Age sites on the Shishi Platform, which was once the command platform where Qi Jiguang trained his sailors. Outside the city, in Banyue Bay, the earth rock carvings - "Fish Dragon Cave" created by the famous painter Hong Shiqing, as well as the fine seal cutting and calligraphy works of famous calligraphy masters Zhu Qizhan, Qian Juntao, Liu Haili and others are engraved on the strange rocks and rocks. There is also a modern stone sculpture expo park and a provincial seaside forest park under the ancient city. Visiting the ancient city is enough to explore the ancient attractions.

Chongwu Ancient City Beach Chongwu means advocating military equipment. It is said that during the Song Dynasty, this place was called Shojieli, Chongwu Township. After Hui resettled the county in the sixth year of Taiping's reign in the Song Dynasty (AD 981), Xiaodou patrol village was set up here. In the early Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to Xiaodou Inspection Department. In the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1370), a group of Japanese pirates operating in Korea and along the coast of my country suddenly landed on the Hajiang River in Xiangzhi, posing a threat to the security of the Quanzhou area. In the 20th year of Hongwu (1387 AD), Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing to inspect the southeast coast in order to defend against the invasion of Japanese pirates. Zhou Dexing was a military engineering expert. Based on the characteristics of the winding coastline and dangerous terrain in the coastal area of ??Quanzhou, he "set up a military base in one county, and a garrison in the connected counties." At that time, Quanzhou established Yongning Guards, which had jurisdiction over five stations, namely Fuquan, Zhongzuo, Jinmen, Gaopu, and Chongwu. Hui'an established five cities, namely Chongwu City, Taku City, Xiaoqian City, Huangqi City and Fengwei City. Chongwucheng is one of the five cities. It belongs to a thousand-household settlement in Siyongningwei, Fujian Province. It has been more than 600 years since the city was built. Coastal scenery of Chongwu Ancient City

On the 28.8-kilometer-long winding coastline in the area, there are 12 sandy bays with fine sand, charming and beautiful, and four large rock groups with overlapping peaks and rocks. The most complete existing T-shaped ancient stone city of the Ming Dynasty in my country, Chongwu Ancient City, stands directly east of the scenic spot. Its unique and reasonable construction technology is called "a case of ancient systematic engineering." The "Chinese Stone Sculpture Craft Expo Park" located on the south side of the ancient city is one of the few theme parks in my country that gathers fine stone sculptures. The park covers an area of ??9 hectares and has a total collection of more than 500 fine stone carvings of different artistic styles, which are integrated with the ancient city and the sea and are unique. The country's largest rock carving art work in the scenic area, Land Art, was created by the famous painter Mr. Hong Shiqing after spending several years of hard work. The work is based on the original form of the sea reefs and cliffs, and follows the shape and shape of the rocks. , and created more than 170 pieces of various artistic images with both form and spirit, which is called a wonder of stone carving art.

· There are four city gates in the ancient city gate. The east, west and north gates are similar, each with two gates, plus a moon city, a city tower above it, and a beacon tower on each city gate. There is one gate, and a wall is built outside the south gate. Legend has it that when Japanese pirates bombarded the city, Guan Yunchang of the Guandi Temple in the city swung his Qinglong Yanyue Sword, causing the shells to fall beside the city wall. He swung the shells back to the pirate ship, causing the ship to sink and kill the pirates. I think this is the reason why Guandi Temple is so popular.

The two gates of the west gate are still intact today. There are several small stalls under the shady city gate. The stall owners are holding hands with each other, waving homemade dusters to catch flies and mosquitoes. New branches and wild flowers leave the shadow of spring on the city gate wall, and the fibrous roots of the old ancient banyan tree hang down, silently feeling everything about the ancient city.

Go east through the west gate, then north, and finally to the south gate. The cross streets in the city connect the four city gates. The sun casts long shadows on the stone roads of the old street. In the small city, there are more than 30 temples and nunneries built in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. With these ancient buildings, the vicissitudes of the ancient city have been added to the simplicity.

· Ancient City Wall For Chongwu, stone is the soul of the town. The ancient granite city wall with a circumference of 2,567 meters carries the history of the small town, witnesses the past of the small town, and retains the historical memory until today.

Slowly walk up the stone steps to the city wall. The wild grasses all over the racetrack are clean and green. The mottled city walls are the classics of the ancient city. The gentle wind blows and turns over pages of history: Qi Jiguang, the famous anti-Japanese general, came to Chongwu in person to command the suppression of Japanese invaders and put down the Japanese rebellion; Zheng Chenggong's army marched eastward to regain the treasure island of Taiwan; Chongwu The Wu army and civilians sailed south with the People's Liberation Army and liberated Xiamen Island, the southern gate of the motherland; in 1956, Premier Zhou personally commanded the Chongwu naval battle, sinking and damaging the invading US-Chiang Kai-shek "Yongtai" and "Yongchang" warships. For hundreds of years, generations of soldiers and civilians in the ancient city relied on the natural barriers and solid stone walls, experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and composed evocative battle poems with their lives. The "Chongbo Temple" and "Yuanji Palace" here are all built to commemorate the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the anti-Japanese war. · Ancient houses Walking along the city gate, the noise outside seems to be separated from the city gate, and the old street is surprisingly quiet. There are simple houses on both sides of the old street. Stone houses, red brick houses, and wooden houses do not have much decoration. These buildings of different eras reveal the traces of time, and the accumulated light is still there.

The alleys are hidden between the houses. Walking in the narrow stone alley, the doors of the old houses are open all day long, and people are living a leisurely life. The women in the yard were sitting in a large bucket filled with shelled oysters, skillfully opening the oyster shells. After a while, the oyster shells were piled into a hill at their feet. Her clothing is humorously called "feudal head, democratic belly, frugal shirt, and wasteful trousers." She wears a yellow bamboo hat, a small floral scarf with a white background, covering her cheeks and chin, and a blue slanted shirt. , short and narrow, with her belly exposed, a silver waist chain on her waist, and wide and elegant low-waisted black pants. This kind of unique clothing in the country will come into your sight from time to time in Chongwu, because the hardworking figures of Hui girls can be seen everywhere. An old man walked out of the narrow alley, walking vigorously and leisurely. This makes people wonder which officers and soldiers stationed in the old city were their ancestors? Which branch does it belong to among "hundreds of surnames, ten thousand people"?

The Chongwu Peninsula occupies an important position in the history of coastal defense in ancient my country. In the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1387 AD), in order to guard against pirates and Japanese pirates, Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, built a city in Chongwu. When it was first built, in the 37th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1558), the Japanese pirates attacked the city for six days and nights. The city was captured and the people's lives and property were seriously damaged. Learning from this lesson, they mobilized funds for major repairs. In April of the first year of Longqing's reign in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1567), Qi Jiguang, the national hero of the Fujian General Army's Anti-Japanese War, stationed troops here, built city defenses, conducted military exercises, and established a complete set of military systems and city defense facilities.

Large-scale renovations were carried out in the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the city had a circumference of 2567 meters, a length of 500 meters from north to south, a width of 300 meters from east to west, a base width of 5 meters, a wall height of 7 meters, 26 nests, 1304 battlements, and arrows. 1,300 windows. There are gates on all sides, and there is a moon city built on the east and west gates. On the city wall there are beacon towers, watchtowers and this virtual platform for firing cannons. The city wall has two to three floors of horse racing roads. There is a pool, a well and a culvert leading to the outside of the city on each side of the city. The city was originally built with defensive posts, piers, post offices, military camps and martial arts halls, etc., forming a relatively complete military defense system. Since then, the city defense has lost its military role, and due to long-term abandonment, the city walls fell into disrepair. In 1983, it was fully restored with state funds. The ancient city that once made immortal contributions to the country in history now stands on the Chongwu Peninsula. In 1987, the "Celebration of the 600th Anniversary of the Founding of Chongwu Ancient City" and academic symposium were held, which aroused great interest from Chinese and foreign scholars. It is the pride of the nation and a historical monument.
