Chongwu Ancient City is located in the southeast coast of Hui 'an County, near the Strait of Taiwan Province Province. It was built in the 20th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1387). At that time, Xiahou Zhou Dexing was in coastal defense to resist the Japanese pirates. In the first year (1567), Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese, and Chongwu, the teacher of Yu Zhi, handed down the North Gate stone inscription "Bang" as a neat book. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (165 1), Zheng Chenggong was stationed here to resist the Qing Dynasty, and it is said that there were horseshoe stones left behind. 1988 was listed as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council. There are more than 20 ancient architectural relics, such as palaces and temples, inside and outside the ancient city, which were built in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties respectively. After renovation, they have continued to this day, and together with the ancient city, they constitute a group of sightseeing monuments. In particular, the Dragon Throat Rock in Dachashan, 3 kilometers outside the city, has both Neolithic sites and cliff stone carvings written by literati describing the history of the ancient city. In the Half Moon Bay outside the city, the earth rock sculpture "Fish Dragon Cave" created by the famous painter Hong, as well as the seal cutting calligraphy works of famous calligraphy masters, artists and others, are all engraved on the grotesque rocks. There are also modern stone carving Expo Park and provincial coastal forest park under the ancient city. Climbing the ancient city is enough to explore the past and see the victory.
Worship of martial arts means advocating armaments. It is said that in the Song Dynasty, this place was called the sacred place of Chongwu Township. In the sixth year of Xingguo in Song Taiping (AD 98 1 year), after the establishment of Hui 'an County, Xiaoxun Village was established here. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to Adzuki inspection department. In the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1370), a Japanese pirate group, which was active in the coastal areas of North Korea and China, suddenly landed on the Lijiang River in Xiangzhi, posing a threat to Quanzhou's public security. In the 20th year of Hongwu (A.D. 1387), Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, appointed Jiang Xiahou and Zhou Dexing to inspect the southeast coast in order to resist the invasion of the Japanese. Zhou Dexing is an expert in military engineering. According to the characteristics of winding coastline and dangerous terrain in Quanzhou coastal area, "one county has one government, and those who connect counties have one health". At that time, Quanzhou set up Yongningwei, which governed Fuquan, Zhongzuo, Jinmen, Gaopu and Chongwu. There are five cities in Hui 'an, namely Chongwu City, Otter Cave City, Otaku City, Huang Qi City and Fengwei City. Chongwu City is one of the five cities, belonging to thousands of households around Yongning, Fujian. It has been built for more than 600 years. Coastal scenery of Chongwu ancient city
On the winding coastline of 28.8 kilometers in the area, 12 beach is exquisite and charming everywhere, and the four rock groups are layered. Chongwu Ancient City, the most complete existing pool of T-shaped stone ancient city in Ming Dynasty in China, stands on the east side of the scenic spot, and its unique and reasonable construction technology is called "the case of ancient system engineering". Located in the south of the ancient city, China Stone Carving Technology Expo Park is one of the few theme parks in China where fine stone carvings gather. Covering an area of 9 hectares, the park has collected more than 500 exquisite stone carvings with different artistic styles, which are unique and integrated with the ancient city and the sea. Earth Art, the largest stone carving art work in China in the scenic area, was created by the famous painter Mr. Hong for several years. Based on the original appearance of rocks and cliffs, his works have created more than 170 artistic images with both form and spirit, which can be called a wonder of stone carving art. A 20-meter-high statue of Huinv has been erected in Dongshan, Chongwu Gate, and the construction of Huinv Folk Village has begun. At present, the scenic spot has been rated as a national 4A-level scenic spot and an excellent scenic spot in the province by the National Tourism Administration, listed as a key tourism construction project in the province by the Fujian Provincial Department of Finance and the Tourism Bureau, and announced as the first batch of scenic spots by the Quanzhou Municipal People's Government, receiving nearly one million tourists annually.
Guchengmen
There are four doors in this city. The three gates in the east, west and north are similar, each with two gates, plus a moon city and a tower. Each gate has a beacon tower and the south gate has a wall. According to legend, when the enemy shelled the city, Guan Yunchang of Guandi Temple in the city waved the dragon crescent moon blade, and the shells landed next to the city wall. With another wave of his hand, the shell returned to the thief ship, so the ship sank and died. I think this is the reason why Guandi Temple is full of incense.
The two gates of Ximen are still well preserved. There are several stalls under the shady city gate. The stall owners are pulling each other home, and they don't forget to wave their homemade dusters to catch flies and mosquitoes flying around. The new branches of wild flowers leave the shadow of spring on the wall of the city gate, and the fibrous roots of the old banyan tree hang down, silently feeling everything in the ancient city.
East through the west gate, north, and finally to the south gate, the city's cross street connects four gates, and the sun casts a long shadow on the stone road in the old street. In this small city, there are more than 30 temples built by Song, Ming and Qing generations, Antang. With these ancient buildings, the vicissitudes of the ancient city add simplicity.
Ancient city wall
For Chongwu, stone is the soul of the town. The granite ancient city wall with a circumference of 2567 meters bears the history of the small town, witnesses the past of the small town and leaves historical memories to this day.
Step on the stone steps and slowly walk up the wall. The happy track is covered with weeds and a clean green. The mottled city walls are ancient books, and the wind blows slowly, turning over a page of history: Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese soldier, visited Chongwu to command the extermination of the enemy and pacify the chaos; Zheng Chenggong's army marched eastward to recover Taiwan Province Province, the treasure island of the motherland; Chongwu soldiers and civilians went south with the People's Liberation Army to liberate Xiamen Island, the south gate of the motherland; From 65438 to 0956, Premier Zhou personally commanded the Chongwu naval battle and sank the invading warships Yongtai and Yongchang. For hundreds of years, generations of soldiers and civilians in the ancient city, relying on natural barriers and solid stone cities, have withstood the baptism of blood and fire and written epic battle poems with their lives. The "Treasure Hall" and the "Yuan Feeding Palace" here are built to commemorate the heroes who died in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
Ancient dwellings
Go straight along the gate, the noise outside seems to be separated from the gate, and the old street is surprisingly quiet. There are simple houses on both sides of the old street, and stone houses, red brick houses and wooden houses are not decorated too much. These buildings of different ages reveal the traces of time, and the light of precipitation is still there.
Alleys are hidden between houses. Walking in the narrow stone alley, the door of the old house is open all day, and people live a leisurely life. The woman in the yard sat in a vat full of shelled oysters and skillfully pried open the oyster shells. Soon, the oyster shells under their feet piled up into mountains. Her dress is humorously called "feudal head, democratic belly, saving shirts and wasting pants." Wearing a yellow hat, wearing a small scarf with broken flowers on a white background, covering her cheeks and chin, wearing a short and narrow blue cardigan, revealing her lower abdomen, wearing a silver waist chain, and wearing wide and elegant low-waisted black trousers. This unique national costume will come into your sight from time to time in Chongwu, because hard-working Hui women can be seen everywhere. An old man came out of a narrow alley, swinging his vigorous and soothing steps. This makes people wonder, which officers and men stationed in the old city will be their ancestors? Which branch of "people's homes are above ten thousand people"?
Chongwu Peninsula occupies an important position in the history of ancient coastal defense in China. In the 20th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1387), Jiang Xiahou and Zhou Dexing built a city in Chongwu to guard against pirates. When it was first built, in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1558), the enemy besieged the city for six days and nights, and the city was captured, causing serious losses to people's lives and property. In view of this lesson, we suggest a comprehensive inspection. In April of the first year of Qin Long in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1567), Qi Jiguang, a national hero of Fujian General Troops who fought against the Japanese invaders, stationed troops here to build the city defense, practiced martial arts and trained soldiers, and established a complete military system and city defense facilities. Large-scale renovation was carried out in the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the circumference of the whole city is 2567 meters, the length from north to south is 500 meters, the width from east to west is 300 meters, the base is 5 meters, the wall is 7 meters high, there are 26 nests, the wall 1304 and the arrow window 1300. There are doors on all sides, and the moon city is built on the east and west gates. There are beacon towers, watchtowers and this virtual platform for firing guns on the wall. There are two or three floors of Happy Valley Road in the city wall, and there is a pool, a well and a culvert leading to the outside of the city. The original fortified villages, docks, post stations, military camps and martial arts schools in the city constitute a relatively complete military defense system. Since then, the city defense has lost its military role, and the city wall has been in disrepair for a long time because of its long-term abandonment. 1983, the state allocated funds for comprehensive restoration. This ancient city, which has made immortal contributions to the country in history, stands on the Chongwu Peninsula. 1987 held the "600th Anniversary Celebration of Chongwu Ancient City" and academic seminar, which aroused great interest of Chinese and foreign scholars, was the pride of the nation and a historical monument.
