Paoche Ancient Li Garden

The ancient Li Garden is located at the junction of Paoche and Chenlou Towns in Pizhou City, covering an area of ??more than 1,000 acres and having about 10,000 chestnut trees. The tree is about 300 years old. With so many ancient trees and a long age, it is a rare and extremely rare chestnut orchard in northern Jiangsu.

The old chestnut tree was planted during the Qianlong period. It is said that once when Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he passed by here. He was very happy when his royal shoes stepped on the soft white sand. However, he was very sad to see the crops withered and yellow and the people suffering. So he summoned his ministers to discuss, and the minister in charge of agriculture proposed a plan. The sandy land was only suitable for planting fruit trees. Only by planting fruit trees extensively can the people's suffering be relieved, especially chestnuts and pears. Emperor Qianlong issued an edict and quickly transferred tens of thousands of chestnut and pear saplings from the north, distributed them to every household, and planted them on the white sand. This gave rise to the place name Cannon Cart Orchard and the current Orchard Village. In the past three hundred years, the people in the orchard have had enough food and clothing because of the fruit trees. Since all the old pear trees were cut down, it has now become a pure chestnut orchard.

The branches of the old chestnut trees are lush and leafy, blocking out the sky and the sun. When entering the garden, it is difficult to distinguish between north and south, and direction of west and east. I heard that there used to be a folk tying artist from a neighboring village who went to the Longchi Festival with a bamboo hat he had woven. There was no road in the past. Pedestrians had to pass through the old chestnut garden. The artist entered the garden in the morning. Soon he got lost in the garden. He didn't go out until the evening. Fortunately, he came back in time. An acquaintance took him out of the garden.

The charming figure of the old chestnut tree attracts tourists from nearby villages and far away places. Thousands of old trees have their twisted branches circling, slanting out from the side, scattered and interspersed, in various shapes. Like a monkey, fishing for the moon in the water; like a warrior, making clanging moves; competing with beautiful women, looking graceful; like a fellow traveler, looking left and right; like a monster, baring its teeth and claws; chasing a general, majestic and upright; imitating an old man, with a round chest and a hunched back...

One by one, rows by rows, and patches of ancient and magical old chestnut trees, each has its own reputation, each has its own story, each has its own legend. Couple tree, lovers tree, acacia tree, sisters reuniting...it's interesting to look at their shapes and guess their names. One of them is called the "Monster Catching Tree", which best demonstrates the character of the old chestnut tree. According to legend, a monster appeared in the chestnut tree garden, which often invaded the village and ate the villagers' livestock. In order to get rid of the monster, the chestnut tree used its own fruit to lure the monster to the tree, and then used the fire of thunder and lightning to kill the monster. From then on, the villagers found peace, but the old chestnut tree was burned by the fire and became a withered tree stump. . Three years later, a miracle happened. The scorched tree came back to life and became leafy again. In order to commemorate him, the people named it "Demon Catching Tree". The resurrection of the chestnut tree actually corresponds to the saying that "chestnut trees will never die".

During the Huaihai Campaign, this was also the camp and command post of the Eighth Route Army. The Thousand-acre Old Liyuan was a rare military hiding place in the Huaihai area. 180,000 people were hidden in the forest, whether on land or in the air. , is difficult to detect. The remains of twenty-eight martyrs are still buried under the old chestnut tree. The forest is large and dense, so in the past, it was also a nest for mazi (bandits). After liberation, it was used as a target training ground by local militiamen. Interested tourists can also find a few slightly rusty warheads in the thin layer of white sand. Now it has become a popular natural oxygen bar, a paradise for young people to fall in love, and a good place for students to have outdoor outings. Under the old tree, they spread the felt blankets and plastic sheets they brought with them and lay down on them to rest. Food and drinks for the picnic were also placed, and joy and laughter filled the quiet forest.

There is also a curved lake in the forest, called "Moon Lake". It is named because the lake is shaped like the moon. Although the lake is not big, it has clear water and is rich in fish. It is not only a good place for bathing, but also a good place for fishing. Good place.

Pizhou Section of the Grand Canal

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is a great water conservancy project in ancient my country. Its excavation began in the late Spring and Autumn Period in the fifth century BC. After two large-scale expansions in the Sui Dynasty in the seventh century and the Yuan Dynasty in the 13th century, it formed a four-pronged city from Beijing in the north to Hangzhou in the south, running through Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The golden waterway between the two cities in the province connects the five major water systems of the Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, and Qiantang River, with a total length of 1,794 kilometers. It is an important "water transportation artery" and economic lifeline in ancient my country. It has been flowing in the land of China for more than two thousand years. It once effectively promoted the development of social economy and culture in ancient China, and at the same time, it also delivered abundant material wealth and spiritual wealth to people today. Since ancient times, Pizhou has been closely related to the Grand Canal. The Pizhou section of the Grand Canal belongs to the Central Canal water system, starting from Taierzhuang, Shandong in the north, and entering Suqian in the south, passing through Pizhou urban area and 9 towns, with a total length of 56.1 kilometers.

The water surface along the Pizhou section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is wide, fish and shrimp are abundant, the environment is beautiful, the vegetation on both sides is lush, and the scenery is pleasant. There are many historical and cultural monuments along the way. There are 116 historic sites and cultural relics in the canal basin, the most famous of which are the Dadunzi ruins more than 6,000 years ago, the Liulin ruins of the Dawenkou cultural system in the Neolithic period, the Liangwangcheng ruins in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the ruins of the Warring States Period.

In addition, more than 10,000 exquisite painted pottery bronzes, jades, pottery and other cultural relics were unearthed from these sites.

Going up the water, you can see several bridges of different shapes along the way, which complement each other with the thousand-year-old canal, forming a new cultural landscape.

Some of the wonderful scenes in the movies "Armageddon" and "Rolling Wheels" were taken here; the Xuhai Class 1 Highway Bridge looks like a long dragon spanning from east to west; The Huolian Expressway Bridge connects the two sides of the canal like a huge and beautiful rainbow. It is called the "Rainbow Bridge" by the locals. This magnificent bridge, with a total length of 2,480 meters, is the longest bridge among the city's cross-river bridges along the canal. .

In the more than a thousand years since the Grand Canal was excavated and opened to navigation, the working people of Pizhou have created a large number of intangible heritage such as folk arts, dances, literature, and folk arts, forming Pizhou with distinctive regional characteristics. Canal culture. Ming Dynasty sanquist Chen Duo and pipa player Tang Ying were once the pride of the ancient city of Pizhou. Since the birth of the Grand Canal, it has not only had a profound impact on the material life of residents along the line, but has also become a precious spiritual wealth for the children of the canal, brewing countless touching historical anecdotes and folklore.

The most famous among them are: Chen Zhaoxian's petition to the imperial court and the story of the emperor and the village woman.

In 1668, the seventh year of Kangxi's reign, there was a major earthquake in Tancheng, the Yellow River burst, and the entire Pizhou City sank in the water. The people were displaced, and the Qing government not only showed no sympathy for the victims, but instead demanded payment of money and food owed over the years. In the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, the emperor patrolled south along the canal and passed Pizhou. At that time, there was a scholar in Pizhou named Chen Zhaoxian. He was an upright man and well aware of the sufferings of the people. He wrote a memorial overnight, imploring the emperor to exempt money and food to save the people of Li from dire straits. Chen Zhaoxian inquired about the specific time when Kangxi passed through the Grand Canal. He knew that the emperor must be heavily guarded and it was impossible for ordinary people to approach. So he dug a hole on the embankment of the canal in advance, hid himself in the hole, tied the memorial in his hair, and then asked his companions to disguise the entrance of the hole to avoid inspection by Qingdao officers and soldiers. When Kangxi's dragon boat arrived in front of the cave, Chen Zhaoxian jumped out of the cave, approached the dragon boat, and shouted "The people have a grievance". After being escorted onto the ship by officers and soldiers, he handed over the memorial. After reading the memorial, Emperor Kangxi was very moved. While sending troops to verify the situation, he continued his southern tour. In July of the 28th year of Kangxi's reign, the emperor finally issued an edict that Pizhou was exempted from rent and tax of 140,000 taels and from public grain of 34,000 shi. Chen Zhaoxian's tombstone is still well preserved in Liyuan Village, Xinhe Town.

In 1757, in the 22nd year of his reign, Emperor Qianlong started from Qianqing Gate in Beijing and went down to the south of the Yangtze River along the canal.

It is said that Emperor Qianlong went to Jiangnan and stayed in Pizhou for two days. He was dressed in civilian clothes and walked along the river bank. Suddenly he saw a peasant woman driving cattle to plow the fields with a whip in her hand. The cow was very obedient and plowed wherever the whip was pointed. The emperor was very strange and didn't want to ask more questions, so he read out a poem: "Since I became an official in these years, I have never seen a woman come to plow the fields; Han people have always raised their wives, so why do wives raise Han people here?" The village woman who was plowing heard this, pointed her whip, and the cows stopped. She also responded to a poem smoothly: "My wife's family has been plowing the fields for many years, and it is not uncommon for officials to see her. I wonder who comes first in the world, a woman or a woman?" "The first man in the world"? Now it was Qianlong's turn to be in trouble. After being questioned, he realized that Pizhou not only had outstanding scholars, but also village women with extraordinary speech. It was true that the people were full of knowledge.

Legend has it that during the days when Qianlong stayed in Pizhou for a private visit, he met a goddaughter in Jiakou, Pizhou. Eighteen years later, the goddaughter was married to Zhu Dazhuizi's family in Zhujiawazi Village. The Zhu family was a wealthy family. In order to embarrass the in-laws, they had to marry someone with a top rank (that is, an official). Otherwise, the front door If you marry through the back door, don't get out. In desperation, Qianlong, the godfather, remembered that his daughter had recognized a godfather 18 years ago, who might be a high official in the capital, so he went to the capital to look for relatives according to the address Qianlong left back then. When Qianlong heard about this, Long Yan was furious. He immediately gave him 300 pieces of dowry, sent Prime Minister Liu Yong to deliver the dowry, He Shen as the dowry manager, and 3,000 royal guards to carry the dowry. On the road from the goddaughter's parents' home to Zhujiawazi, 18 miles away, the front of the wedding party left the village, but before the back entered the village, all the wells in the village were drained, and there was not even enough water for horses to drink. The son was so frightened that he peed his pants and never dared to look down on his in-laws again.

The Pizhou section of the Grand Canal is a small microcosm of the entire Grand Canal. While we fully explore the cultural heritage of the canal and enjoy the beautiful scenery and convenient life that the canal brings to us, we must also cherish and protect it. The planned area of ??the Grand Canal Scenic Belt is more than 30,000 acres, and it will mainly build the Grand Canal Museum, Qianlong Palace, water resort, Qingming Riverside Garden, water sports area and cruise ship terminal, etc. The total investment of the project is 260 million yuan. The Grand Canal Scenic Belt is based on the beautiful natural scenery on both sides of the Grand Canal, explores the cultural connotation of the area, enhances the touristability and cultural nature of the scenic spot, and strives to create a Grand Canal Scenic Belt with beautiful scenery along the coast and rich cultural connotations.
