Huanggang, Hubei, is a good place with historical flavor. It is rich in natural resources, with perfect development of animal and plant diversity, and has become a famous tourist attraction. Here, I would like to share with you the historical introduction of Chengjiaxia in Huanggang, Hubei.

Huang An is the old name of Hongan County in Huanggang, Hubei Province. In the forty-second year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1563), Macheng, Huanggang and Huangpi were placed in Huang An County.

1952 In September, in recognition of the achievements of the people's revolutionary struggle in Huang An, the Hubei Provincial Government reported to the Central South Military and Political Committee for approval, and officially renamed Huang An County as Hong 'an County.

Li Zhi, a great thinker in Ming Dynasty, was invited by Geng Ding to educate his children. Establish an academy with Geng Dingxiang's younger brother Geng Theorem and scholars from Wuyunshan, Sima Mountain and Tiantai Mountain.

For a time, Huang (Hong 'an) traveled from south to north, with numerous academies and excellent style of study, leaving a good reputation of "only Chu is talented, and Chu is also in Huang (An)".

But 200 years ago, this new county was not peaceful, with frequent natural and man-made disasters. And always have to face foreign wars.

From the late Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, almost every peasant uprising and warlord scuffle spread to this short-lived county. People use their surnames to build forts and city walls, and hide in them to resist foreign enemies every time there is a war.

According to the County Records, Fang Mahua, a bandit in Guangdong, built bunkers to protect his family in order to save the townspeople.

Fortress: A military building used for defense. Wang Qiong's Miscellaneous Notes on Shuangxi in the Ming Dynasty: "Enemy at the Gates, killing and plundering the people is a tragedy." .

There are special records in the county annals of ancient Huang An (now Hongan County, Huanggang City, Hubei Province). According to records, there are about 84 livestock farms in Hongan County (formerly Huang An), Huanggang, Hubei Province.

This is the official statistics at that time. That is, according to the statistics of Anyi Bandit.

Today, with the changes of the times, most of the bunkers recorded in these county records have been destroyed and can't be found. However, there are still many relics in Wu Xia Bay in Chunshudian Village, Nanyongjiahe Town, Hong 'an County.

Wu Zhai Bao Dian was first seen in Huang An County Records. Cheng Wu's genealogy is also fully recorded. Chengwuzhai Castle has four gates in the southeast and northwest. In 1970s, the north gate of Zhaibao could be bolted and locked.

Genealogy of Cheng Family in Zhaibao

Chengwu Zhaibao is called "Lotus Cottage Treasure" in the county annals. Guo Jian diploma course, staff course, tribute student course, Shi Cheng wucun has contacts with his neighbor Tong Jian.

Cheng's genealogy records: the first step is male, and the word is male. Ding Mao was born in September of Jiaqing and died in Shen Jia in July of Guangxu. Imitating the method of repairing the wall and clearing the field, he built a fortress and was promoted to the captain of the fortress, with tens of thousands of refugees.

Cheng, whose real name is Daoguang Yisi, is a public official (the genealogy contains a chapter), a descendant and scholar. Daogui was born in September of the first year of Xuantong and died in December.

This is part of the Zhaibao site, which was left by the Chengjiaxia family. Lianshan fortress is called "city wall" in Chengjiaxia area.

This is the site of Zhaibao, located in the southeast of the Fifth Bay of Chengjiaxia. Although covered by vegetation, the remains of Zhaibao are still clearly visible.

According to the villagers, the stones of the fortress were torn down by the villagers and used for other purposes, but the cornerstone of the fortress still exists and is buried deep in the soil.

This is the site of Zhaibao, located in the southwest of the fifth bay of Chengjiaxia. You can also see the momentum of Zhai Bao in those days.

This is the site of Zhaibao, located in the central and western direction of the five bays of Chengjiaxia.

Including people who live outside the family, people often come here to explore the ruins of Qianbao (city wall) in Chengjiaxia.

There are no modern high-rise buildings because the buildings in Chengjiaxia House are all in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the early years of Tongzhi, due to local insecurity, the construction of Zhuo Wang Mountain Fort once blessed tens of thousands of people around. When Chengjiaxia Castle was built, the village was restored by "re-delivering heavy goods".

As a way for ordinary people to avoid war and protect themselves in Ming and Qing dynasties, house insurance completed its historical mission in the long river of time.

Today's society certainly doesn't need a fortress to protect one side. However, if possible, it is also of great practical significance to restore the Wuzhai Fort in Chengjiaxia to its original appearance and make it a witness of history and a nostalgic memory.
