The history introduced by Jie Fangbei, Jie Fangbei:

The fort is a square turret-style wooden structure, and the exterior is painted black to prevent Japanese bombing. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Chongqing decided to build a "Monument to the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War" on the site introduced by Jie Fangbei, the original "spiritual fortress", to commemorate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The foundation stone was laid on October 31, 1946, construction started in December and was completed in August 1947. On November 3, 1949, Chongqing was liberated. At that time, the Southwest Military and Political Commission decided to rebuild the Monument to the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War, which was inscribed by Liu Bocheng, Chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Commission, and was renamed the Monument to the People's Liberation (Jie Fangbei for short).

Jie Fangbei has a very important position in the history of Chongqing. Many important historical events, interesting anecdotes and some myths and legends happened there. For example, Jie Fangbei Fuzichi (Chongqing World Trade Center is built on the present site) was originally the Confucian Temple in Chongqing, the most representative Confucian Temple building in Chongqing, and the largest Confucian Temple in Chongqing, which was built in the Song and Shaoxing years. Until the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, this place was the center of Chongqing's cultural activities. Later, Jie Fangbei introduced Chongqing Fuzichi Art Exhibition Hall.

In 198s, it was named Chongqing Art Museum, with Zhu Xuanxian as the curator. It is the earliest and only art museum in Chongqing. At that time, there were frequent artistic activities here, and almost all important art exhibitions were held here, which became the center of Chongqing's cultural and artistic activities and foreign cultural exchanges, influencing and driving a large number of artists and people. As a result, it became a household name in Chongqing's folk life and was deeply rooted in people's hearts: "Go to the Confucius Pool and see the exhibition", which became an indispensable and important cultural activity in the lives of Chongqing people and people from other places in that era.

There is a legend in Jie Fangbei that a fisherman met eight beggars on the bridge, namely, eight immortals: Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Han Xiangzi, Tie Guai Li, Lv Dongbin, Cao Guojiu, Lan Caihe and He Xiangu. So, there was Jie Fangbei and Huixian Bridge. At the beginning of last century, people filled the pond, demolished the bridge, and later built Huixian Building, a landmark building in Chongqing.

cathay theatre was built in 1937, and the adjacent Fuzichi Exhibition Hall was called the cultural shrine in the rear area of the Anti-Japanese War. On February 8, 1937, it was unveiled in cathay theatre. Movies are shown during the day and plays are performed at night. Cathay Pacific's neon lights have attracted hundreds of people to watch the excitement. Wan Jiancheng, the old manager of Guotai Cinema, said that there were 1,5 iron-backed armchairs and 6 frosted chandeliers on the ceiling. Four exhaust fans were installed on each side of the high wall, costing 14 thousand silver dollars. During the Anti-Japanese War, Xiuwen Shu, Bai Yang, Zhang Ruifang and Qin Yi, four famous China dramas, became famous here. Guo Moruo, Xia Yan, Cao Yu and Bai Yang all signed autographs for the theater. In the same year, stars from Shanghai, such as Bai Yang and Wu Yin, staged The Battle of Lugou Bridge and Night in Shenyang in cathay theatre, and the audience who bought tickets filled half the street. According to old people's memories, during the Chongqing bombing, cathay theatre's performance was immediately closed as soon as the alarm sounded. After the air raid, the actors and audience returned to the theater, and the wartime performance was never interrupted for a long time. In 1954, the Peace Cinema was rebuilt on the original site of cathay theatre; During the Cultural Revolution, it was renamed Dongfanghong Cinema. In 1993, it was renamed Guotai Cinema, which was demolished in 27.

On May 1st, 195, on the basis of Baoyuanyu, a Chongqing branch of Baoyuantong Department Store, the salesroom of Southwest Department Store was established, which marked the establishment of Chongqing Department Store and made Chongqing the first state-owned department store introduced by Jie Fangbei.

Chongqing Friendship Store in Jie Fangbei is the largest foreign store in Chongqing that only serves foreigners, diplomats and government officials, and only accepts foreign exchange certificate as the currency. Goods include daily necessities and even uncensored western newspapers and periodicals, so once guards would prevent China people from entering the shops.

The People's Liberation Army Theater used to exclusively show some films of the military system. Many films that have not been officially released are often released first. Therefore, the theater has an irreplaceable position in the eyes of Chongqing ticket lovers. It has already been demolished.

There is also the former site of the Kuomintang Youth Hall. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Youth Hall was renamed Experimental Theater. In the "Xinxin Cafe" in Jie Fangbei, Miss Kong Er, the dry daughter of Song Meiling, angrily beat the story of Xu Zhongqi, the police chief.

History

1. Before War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression

The area around Jie Fangbei was originally called "Du You Street", which was named after the official post office here. At that time, there were only a few drugstores, satin shops and companies selling Four Treasures of the Study, and the rest were residential houses such as Yangjia Courtyard and Zhoujia Courtyard. At the intersection of four narrow lanes in Du You Street, there is an open space of only a few tens of square meters, which is called "Dashizi", and now it is the central area of Jie Fangbei.

Second, the "spiritual fortress"

The former site of Jigong Monument was originally a wooden structure with a height of 7 feet and 7 feet-the spiritual fortress, which was built in November 194 and demolished in October 1946. The building symbolizes the determination to resist the Japanese war to the end and the spirit of carrying forward the defense.

In December p>1941, after Japan launched the Pacific War, China formed an alliance with the United States and Britain to fight against Japan, Germany and Italy. Since then, the Sino-Japanese War has become a part of the Second World War.

On March 12th, 194, the National Government presided over the construction of a "spiritual fortress" in the center of Duyou Street Square in Chongqing, which was completed on December 31st, 1941. The "Spiritual Fortress" was built by four units, including the National Spiritual Mobilization Association. It was built by the then National Government, with a wooden structure, a square shape, and a height of 7 feet and 7 feet (about 26 meters), with a spiral staircase reaching the top.

The significance of building a monument is to inspire the people of the whole country's anti-Japanese war morale, encourage our compatriots to have the spirit of fighting the war to the end, and name it "spiritual fortress". "Seven feet and seven feet" symbolizes "July 7th Anti-Japanese War".

III. Monument to the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War

After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the National Government built a Monument to the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War on the original site of the "Spiritual Fortress" to record the bloody work of the military and civilians throughout the country.

on October 31st, 1946, the foundation stone was laid for the new crater monument of the original site of the "spiritual fortress". In December, the new monument was officially started, and it was changed into an octagonal column helmet top reinforced concrete structure.

the main body of the monument was completed in August p>1947, and it was completed on October 1 of the same year. The body of the monument was engraved with "Ji Gong Monument for Victory in the Anti-Japanese War", which is called "Ji Gong Monument", and its shape is Jie Fangbei today. In Jie Fangbei, there are still letters written by American President Roosevelt to the people of Chongqing during the victory of World War II.

Fourth, Chongqing People's Liberation Monument

On November 3, 1949, the China People's Liberation Army captured the main city of Chongqing. On October 1, 195, the Southwest Military and Political Committee changed the words and patterns on the monument, and Liu Bocheng changed the title of "Chongqing People's Liberation Monument", which was called "Jie Fangbei" for short, instead of commemorating the victory of China people's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to commemorating Chongqing's liberation.
