What are the scenic spots in Yamen, Xinhui?

Yashan Mountain is located in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, about 50 kilometers south of Xinhui City. It is the place where Yinzhou Lake goes to sea and the entrance and exit of tidal fluctuation. There is a cliff mountain in the east and a bottle mountain in the west. The veins of the two mountains extend southward into the sea, so they are called Yamen. The famous Yashan naval battle took place here. The naval battle ended in the total annihilation of Song Jun. Minister Lu Xiufu committed suicide with the 8-year-old Zhao, the last emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. This battle marked the demise of the Song Dynasty.

The Battle of Cliff Mountain The Yuan Dynasty perished in the Southern Song Dynasty, so where was the Cliff Mountain at that time?

The popularity of Yashan Mountain is not as high as that of Wuyue Mountain in China, but it should not be easy for basin friends who know the historical time to be unfamiliar with it. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was an earth-shattering fierce confrontation-the Yashan naval battle. Although more than 700 years have passed, the desperate and indomitable spirit of the military and police in the Song Dynasty at the last moment is truly admirable. Let's talk about Cliff Mountain again.

Where is Cliff Mountain?

In Yazhou, Sanya, Hainan, there is a very famous area called Cape Tianya. Some people think that Yashan is in Sanya, but it is actually in Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. Xinhui is located in the middle and lower reaches of Tanjiang River, bordering Zhongshan City in Guangdong Province in the east, Doumen in Zhuhai in the south, Taishan and Kaiping in Jiangmen in the west and Jiangmen City in the north. Xinhui has a history of 1800 years and was once the management center of this area. Xinhui County was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhou Gang was founded in the Sui Dynasty. Xinhui City was the third Bazhou after Guangzhou and Chaozhou in the Ming Dynasty.

Yashan is about 50 kilometers south of Xinhui District. This is the outer Manchuria of Yinzhou Lake. Cliff Mountain and Tang Ping stand tall, and Yinzhou Lake passes through the middle of the two mountains and pours into the sea. Two mountains, like a gate, guard the road to the sea, hence the name yamen. Yamen overpass has been built, with a total length of 1289 meters. Cliff Mountain and Tangping Mountain consist of a series of mountains, including Niuguling Mountain and Fengshan Mountain, and Tangping Mountain consists of Jushan Mountain and Mazong Mountain. The advantage of terrain risk in Yamen area is that the palace of the small court in Song Dynasty was placed on the hill on the east side of Yinzhou Lake.

Xiangjiang River is the third largest river in China after Xiangjiang River and Dahe River. Originated in Mount Maxiong in Wumeng Mountain System of Sichuan Basin, it flows through Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi provinces and northern Vietnam. The total length of its main tributaries is about 1. 1 10,000 km. There are eight estuaries in the middle and lower reaches of Xiangjiang River, which are called "Eight Gates of Xiangjiang River". These eight doors are Humen, Jiaomen, Hongqi, Hengmen, Sharpening Skill, Jiming, Huyue and Yamen. Among them, Humen, Dongguan is famous. Historically, Lin Zexu and Humen destroyed opium here.

Yamen is the westernmost part of the Eight Gates of Xiangjiang River. Yamen Waterway-Yinzhou Lake and Hutiaomen Waterway in the east are Y-shaped. The Yamen naval battle took place in the waters of Yinzhou Lake. In the cliff-mountain confrontation, Zhang Hongfan led the Mongolian imperial network water army to set foot in the Hutiaomen Waterway, blocking Song Jun in Yinzhou Lake, and Song Jun was finally wiped out.

Why is Yinzhou Lake called Lake?

It is clear now that Yinzhou Lake is a river. Why is it called a lake? In the Pearl River Delta region, many estuaries used to be called "sea" or "lake", which was originally a part of the sea. Later, the land around the fine sand deposit became the present geological structure. After the twentieth century, due to the harm of modern natural geography, most of them were called rivers and waterways.

In ancient times, the waters of the Pearl River Delta were not as southerly as they are now. Haizhu District of Guangzhou, Panyu District of Guangzhou, Zhongshan City of Guangdong, Zhongshan City, Quanzhou City and Macau are all in the sea. Now the hills by the sea are just islands in the sea. In Song Dynasty, Yashan was a very big island. There are many islands with irregular distribution in the north of Yashan Island, and there are hundreds of years of fine sand alluvial fans. These scattered islands have long since disappeared. Now the northern part of Yashan Island is basically connected with the land.

1273, the Yuan army conquered Wuhan, a national defense town in the Song Dynasty, went down the Han River and occupied Wuchang District. In the Song Dynasty, the Xiangjiang defense line collapsed instantly, and Jiankang (now Nanjing) was quickly conquered by the unstoppable Yuan Army. Lin 'an (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, is in danger.

1276, yuan army attacked Hangzhou Lin' an, and Zhao (Xi' an) reduced yuan. Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu and other dignitaries took Zhao _ as their emperor in Wenzhou, and then all the way to Guangdong Province. On his way back to Leizhou Peninsula, Zhao _ was hit by a strong typhoon and fell into the water and fell ill and died. His younger brother Zhao's name is Shaodi. In the Song Dynasty, the small court retreated to the cliff mountain and built a palace on it. The empress dowager, the emperor, the civil and military officials, their officers and soldiers and their relatives all live in Yashan Island. Unexpectedly, it became the last palace in the Song Dynasty, and now it has become a tourist attraction-the cultural and artistic scenic spot of maritime war in the Yamen of the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

1279, Yuan army soldiers were divided into two ways: monsoon paddy field agriculture, water route led by Zhang Hongfan set foot on the coast, and land route led by Hengli attacked Yashan from Jiangxi south. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, thousands of warships, decisive battle with each other. In the end, the Song Dynasty was defeated. Lu Xiufu committed suicide by jumping into the sea with the little emperor on his back, and hundreds of soldiers, policemen and civilians in the Song Dynasty died generously. How tragic.

Where is Guangdong Yashan?

Guangdong Yashan is located130km south of Guangzhou, which belongs to the border of Gujing Town, Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. Xinhui used to be a city, but later it was incorporated into Jiangmen City and reduced to a district below Jiangmen City.

There is an intercity train between Xinhui District and Guangzhou, which takes 50 minutes by car. However, the distance from Xinhui Station to Yashan is still relatively far, about 40 kilometers. If you take a bus, it will take about an hour and a half, and you will pass the former residence of Liang Qichao on the way.

So if you want to go to the cliff mountain, you can visit Liang Qichao's former residence, and you have plenty of time in one day.

In addition, Xinhui District is not only a cliff mountain, but also a Confucius Temple called Xinhui Gong Xue, which is also worth visiting.

Yashan is famous because there was a naval battle in Yashan. There is a saying that there is no China after the cliff mountain, because of this battle.

The Battle of Yashan, also known as the Battle of Yamen, the Battle of Yamen and the Battle of Yamen in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, was 1279 (in the second year of Xiangxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, the 16th year of Yuan Dynasty), a large-scale naval battle of Song and Meng armies in Yashan, and a rare naval battle in ancient China.

The Battle of Yashan was the last decisive battle between Song and Yuan Dynasties, which ended in the complete annihilation of Song Jun, and this battle marked the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty. This is also the first time that the Central Plains Dynasty was conquered by nomadic people in the north.
