The history and culture of Mohe Ancient City Island

The ancient Mohe has a long history and culture. 300 years ago, the island was surrounded by the residence of the Daur tribe, which was called Yaksa City at that time. The Qing government defeated Tsarist Russia twice here. Although the smoke from the ancient battlefield of Yakesa has now cleared, when you stand on the island and look at the Waixing'an Mountains ceded by the Qing government, you still feel extremely sad. The ancient battlefield of Yaksa has now become a famous scenic spot and a base for patriotic education. Mohe is famous for being rich in gold. After the Oroqen people, an indigenous people who mainly hunted, discovered gold, Tsarist Russia continued to enter Mohe to steal gold. In order to expel Tsarist Russian thieves, the Qing government appointed Li Jinyong as the general office of Mohe and founded the Mohe Gold Mine. . Li Jinyong and his soldiers "went into the mountains, packed up food and slept in the open". After going through hardships and hardships, they opened the Mohe Gold Mine. To commemorate Li Jinyong's achievements, people built an ancestral hall for him in Jingou and recorded a piece of history for him. When Li Jinyong, who dedicated his life to Mohe, accepted the tributes from tourists, he must have also lamented the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Mohe. Nowadays, you can follow an ancient "gold road" and enter the mysterious golden ditch, looking for the footprints of those hard and tenacious gold diggers, and you can also experience the fun of gold panning as a tourist project. Gold and powder are inseparable. Similarly, when talking about Jinkou, we cannot but mention the "prostitute's grave". There is a cemetery deep in the dense forest of Jingou where the bones of hundreds of prostitutes are buried. The locals call it the "prostitute grave". When Jingou was prosperous, a large number of gold diggers gathered. The imperial court brought a group of prostitutes to appease the soldiers and gold miners in the extremely cold zone. In addition, under the temptation of gold, a large number of prostitutes from Russia, Japan, South Korea and some cities in northern China also came. The rouge washed off by prostitutes flows all day long in the golden ditch, so it is also called "rouge ditch". Since then, Rouge Valley has become a ditch of existence full of joys and sorrows, love and hatred. Every tomb is a tragic story and has a bitter history. Presumably people only remember the Qinhuai River with its red wine and lights, but they don’t know that in the Arctic of China, there was a once-splendid Rouge Valley, and there were prostitutes’ graves soaked in blood and tears. In Mohe, monuments and ruins from the Ming, Qing, and Japanese and Puppet periods can be seen everywhere. The mysterious source of Heilongjiang, the magical flying pines, and the rolling Qixing Mountains all carry touching legends.
