Great wujiang town tourist attractions

At the exit of Laolinhe Scenic Area, "Zhenwushan" is tall and majestic, and the single mountain is abrupt. On the mountainside, there is a cave full of geomantic omen, which is a lush place of pine and cypress in Bai Cui, where Mao Chongyuan, a famous player in northern Guizhou, is buried. Standing in front of the tomb, I looked up and saw the peaks embracing each other and flowing green. The mountain facing the cemetery is two magnificent and beautiful peaks, just like a golden couple, welcoming the general gods.

Maoba, the ancestor of General Zhenbei, was from Shandong. In the second year of Tang Ganfu's reign, he laid a flat Nanzhao and made many outstanding achievements. He was specially awarded the title of general. Spread to the Southern Song Dynasty, Sun Huang's descendants named General Wu Lulue, led the troops to fortify, and took refuge in Bayin, a military stronghold on the north bank of Wujiang River. At that time, there was no province in Guizhou. In order to strengthen the rule of southwest ethnic minorities, the central dynasty established a perfect toast system, which restricted and restricted the behavior of the toast. Northern Guizhou has successively established organizations such as Bozhou Xuanwei Department, Sinan Xuanwei Department and Sizhou (now Cengong) Xuanwei Department. Fenggang, which belongs to Sinan Xuanwei, and Shiqian, which belongs to Sizhou Xuanwei, are forming a tripartite confrontation with Bayin. Propaganda and comfort stations are under the jurisdiction of neighboring provinces, fighting and looting, and bloodshed occurs at any time. At that time, there were three rivers, Chishui River in the west, Yangtze River in the north and Wujiang River in the south. As a natural barrier, Wujiang River was in the right and wrong place of Bozhou, so Bayin became the main defense line of Bozhou border defense. Due to its unique geographical location, fertile land and beautiful scenery, this area naturally becomes an important military strategic location, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Mao Chongyuan, another prodigy of the Ming Dynasty, was born here in the early years of Hongwu and early four years. He is an ambitious and resourceful generation, and his army can recruit excellent soldiers, which has a great influence on northern Guizhou. This branch has more than 300 close relatives who live in Bayin. The general's office is located in Chengping, near Xianyin Eighth Street, where the army and the people live in harmony. In peacetime, they train and practice martial arts. In agriculture, men plow the fields and women weave. Whenever there is a war, they go out to fight and form a powerful military force. He made great contributions to the defense of Bozhou territory. Wu Shunwu is a native of Houshan Village, Bayin Yuanguang Village. It's only a stone's throw from Laolinhe Scenic Area.

Wu Shunwu was born in the last years of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty and met with Guangxu in the last years. When he was young, Wu Shunwu was brilliant and never forgets anything. He became famous by reading poetry books. Later, due to the frustration of officialdom, I had to lose my official position and teach. 1840 after the opium war, western missionaries gained the privilege of setting up churches to preach in various parts of China by virtue of a series of unequal treaties. At that time, Yunnan and Guizhou were within the sphere of influence of Germany, one of the western powers, plundering real estate everywhere, setting up churches and developing Christians. With his ability and talent, Wu Shunwu aimed at the opportunity and was keen on preaching and teaching. After decades of educational administration, he finally made some achievements and served as the head of the Catholic church in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

Wu Shunwu retired in his later years and returned to his hometown, but he still did his own work. Build large-scale buildings and build Catholic churches. The structure of the church is a combination of Chinese and western, with upper hall, lower hall and wing, and the pattern is quadrangle. The whole building is fine in workmanship and exquisite in craftsmanship. After the completion of the church, believers were widely recruited, and hundreds of local families including Xia, Wu, Wen, Zou and Zhang successively joined the church. He is going to build a five-product school, subsidize the cost of sending students to nearby counties to study culture, and send his only grandson Wu to India to study for several years.

Objectively speaking, Wu Shunwu has made certain contributions to Bayin's cultural and educational undertakings. On his seventieth birthday, dozens of plaques were sent from nearby counties, which was enough to show his local influence at that time. After liberation, the church was distributed to local farmers, and some farmers still keep a small number of plaques. These objects can be used as the witness of Wu Shunwu's teaching as an official. There is an ancient pagoda in Yuanguang, which was built in the second year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty. It is a six-sided and six-story hollow tower with all-stone structure. Covering an area of 50 square meters, the tower height18m and the base circumference16.6m.. On the second floor of the tower, the regular script engraved with the word "font" is vigorous, dignified, smooth and vigorous. There are four monuments lying on the side of the tower, which are also intaglio carvings. The knife work is exquisite and smooth, and the handwriting is elegant, which is a must. This is really a rare ancient work of art.

What is the significance of building this tower? Why is it called "Font" Tower? This story starts from the 28th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty: Yang Yinglong, the propaganda department of Bozhou, rebelled against the imperial court, and Li Hualong, the general of Chengzu in Ming Dynasty, commanded more than 200,000 troops in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hunan and Guizhou provinces, and marched into Yang Yinglong in eight ways. Many people at that time were Yang's assistants and were related by marriage. Naturally, Shi Mao was also the target of the same Crusade. Because there are too many people studying for the official in Shi Mao, in order to avoid the war, a large number of books can't be taken away, so we have to order our family to move to a mountain cave of several hundred square meters in the hinterland of Laolinhe for storage. After the war, most Shi Mao officials made contributions to the imperial court, were pardoned and reinstated by the emperor, and their descendants received hereditary salaries. The descendants of Shi Mao have not forgotten the books that our ancestors hid in the cave of Laolin River during the war. Due to the age, a large number of books have basically decayed, but they can't be thrown away casually. After discussion, the people decided to choose an auspicious place to build the "font library" tower. After the tower was built, only half of it was moved to the front of the tower and a book burning ceremony was held to burn it. It is said that this book burned for three days and nights, and the remaining half of the unburned books were burned in Daoguang for seven years. A book burning ceremony was held at the seven-level "Wenfeng" tower of masonry structure near Bayin Street, which lasted for three days and three nights. The construction of these two towers shows that this area is rich in cultural heritage and profound cultural accumulation.
