Huian Chongwu Ancient City

Chongwu Ancient City, located in the southeast coast of Hui 'an County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, is close to the Taiwan Province Strait. It was built by Xiahou Zhou Dexing on 1387 (the twentieth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty) to resist the Japanese invasion. It is the most complete existing T-shaped stone ancient city in China, and it is one of more than 60 Weifang castles built by the Ming government in Wanli to fight against the Japanese aggressors.

Chongwu Ancient City is the first batch of "national defense education bases" in Fujian Province, the first batch of "patriotic education bases" and "national defense education bases" in Quanzhou City.

At the same time, the Half Moon Bay, Castle Peak Bay and Jingfenghui Women's Bay on the coast of Hui 'an were selected as one of the "Eight Most Beautiful Coastlines in China" by National Geographic magazine.

Chongwu ancient city is also the stronghold of Zheng Chenggong's army's eastward expedition to recover Baodao, and it is also the maritime base for the liberation of Xiamen by China Southern Airlines. There are still remnants of the shelling damage of the Japanese invaders on the outer wall and the east wall of Nanchengmen. The "shelling location" written horizontally in regular script describes the incident of Japanese ship shelling Chongwu in May 1938+07.

Hui 'an Stone Carving is the representative of Nanpai Stone Carving, which was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list. China Stone Carving Craft Expo Park on the south side of the ancient city wall is one of the few theme parks in China that gather fine stone carvings.

Chongwu Ancient City is the only complete stone city in Ming Dynasty in China, a relatively complete historical relic in the history of coastal defense in China, and a "national key cultural relics protection unit".

"Chongwu" means "advocating military equipment". It was called "adzuki bean" in ancient times. In 19981year (the sixth year of rejuvenating the country in Song Taiping), when Hui 'an established the county, it was a festival of worshipping Wuxiang, followed by a tour of the village by adzuki bean.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to Adzuki inspection department. 1370 (the third year of Ming Hongwu), Japanese pirate groups active in the coastal areas of North Korea and China suddenly landed on the fragrant paper Lijiang River, posing a threat to Quanzhou's public security. 1387 (twenty years of Hongwu), in order to prevent Japanese invasion, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Jiang Xiahou and Zhou Dexing to inspect the southeast coast. Zhou Dexing is an expert in military engineering. According to the characteristics of winding coastline and dangerous terrain in Quanzhou coastal area, "one county has one government, and those who connect counties have one health". At that time, Quanzhou set up Yongningwei, which governed Fuquan, Zhongzuo, Jinmen, Gaopu and Chongwu. There are five cities in Hui 'an, namely Chongwu City, Otter Cave City, Otaku City, Huang Qi City and Fengwei City. Chongwucheng is one of the five cities, belonging to thousands of households around Yongning, Fujian.

This wall is made of white granite. The wall is 2467 meters long, the foundation is 5 meters high, and the fence is 7 meters high. There are two or three layers of happy runways inside, and the width is 4 meters. There are 1304 wall discs, 1300 arrow windows, 26 bunk beds, 5 enemy platforms on all sides and four city gates.

Chongwu Coast is known as "one of the eight most beautiful coastlines in China", connecting the top of the resorts such as "Southern Beidaihe"-Banyuewan, "Xisha Yinshe"-Xisha Bay, and "Bamin First Jin Tan"-Qingshan Bay.

The area has 28.8 kilometers of winding coastline, 12 beach and 4 rock groups. The landmark building "China East Sea and South China Sea Chongwu Meteorological Boundary Line" stands in the southeast corner of the ancient city.

Chongwu Ancient City is located in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, near the Taiwan Province Strait, also known as "Lotus Island". It is a tourist attraction integrating coastal scenery, historical relics, folk customs and sculpture art, and is known as "natural studio" and "Beidaihe in the South".

Chongwu ancient city is good, with a lot of historical background. There is an ancient city wall in the scenic spot. Standing on the ancient city wall, you can see the sea view and overlook the unique Huian dwellings in the mainland.

In the commanding heights of Lianhua Mountain in the city, there is also a watchtower, and there are wopu, Yuecheng, piers and culverts around the city, which constitutes a complete military defense engineering system. Both "Chongbao Hall" and "Yuan Feeding Palace" were built to commemorate the heroes who died in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

The scenery inside is very good, and there is a sea view.

Chongwu ancient city is one of the main settlements of Hui 'an women, which is famous at home and abroad.

They wore yellow hats, small floral headscarves with a white background, covered their cheeks and jaws, wore short and narrow blue sweaters, exposed their bellies, wore silver waist chains around their waists, and wore wide and elegant low-waisted black trousers with exquisite and gorgeous headdresses.

Slang calls it "feudal head, democratic belly, save clothes and waste pants." Huian women's wear was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list in 2006.

Hui Nv's folk dance performance can only be seen on weekends, and there is no need to buy extra tickets.

Although the performance lasted less than half an hour, solo dance, group dance, singing and national performances were all concentrated in it, which was really wonderful.

The actors performed professionally, the dances were very ornamental, and the costumes also had local characteristics. You can also take a group photo.

After watching the performance, take photos on the rocks by the sea, where you can enjoy the magnificent sea view.

Or go surfing on the beach and play with sand, and I'm also very happy.

At the seaside, it still feels very different from the ancient town of Jiangnan.

The section outside the city wall near the sea. Appreciate all kinds of stone carvings, watch the high tide and listen to the sound of the waves, but everything under the sunshine and blue sky is still so beautiful.

What impressed me most was the sea here. Walking on the beach in the ancient city or Xisha Bay, just watching the sea view and listening to the waves can take three or four hours.

The sea here is blue and the beach is clean. Even sitting in a daze on a rock reef is beautiful.

This is one of the most beautiful coastlines in China. When you come, you will feel the simplicity of the ancient city. Strolling through the ancient city is the best enjoyment of life.

The sea here is beautiful and blue, with many reefs.

Finally, it is also very pleasant to visit the ancient city outside the stone carving garden, and slowly walk on the small stone road of the ancient houses in southern Fujian to see the daily life of the local people.
