Jiangnan Great Wall is located in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province. Linhai is an ancient city and a new city integrating the profound heritage of a thousand-year-old city, the beautiful landscape of a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River and the prosperity of a modern city. There are many cultural relics and historic sites, which are known as "Little Zou Lu" and "Cultural State", forming a "four" city with famous cities, celebrities, historic sites and specialties.
Jiangnan Great Wall is actually the wall of Taizhou Fucheng. The Great Wall in the south of the Yangtze River is more than 6,000 meters, with an existing area of 5,000 meters. It starts from Range Rover Gate in the east, meanders along the ridge of Beigushan Mountain to Xiayanting, reaches the east bank of Lingjiang River among steep rocks, and extends to the west foot of Jinshan Mountain, overlooking the river. It looks like a dragon, especially in the north. It is as simple as the Great Wall in Badaling, Beijing, and is called "Badaling in the south of the Yangtze River".
According to historical records, Qi Jiguang, a famous soldier in Ming Dynasty, fought against Japanese pirates for eight years. During this period, Qi Jiguang and Tan Lun, the magistrate, renovated the ancient city wall near the sea and creatively built a two-story hollow enemy platform, which has been preserved to this day. Qi and Tan were later transferred to Jizhou to build the Ming Great Wall near Beijing. They transferred 3000 soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River and applied their experience in building cities by the sea to the construction of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty. The hollow enemy platform of the Great Wall in the North originated from the sea. Therefore, there are many similarities in specifications, shapes and structures between the North and South Great Walls, which are actually the "normality" and "blueprint" of the Great Wall in the North, so it is called the Great Wall in the South of the Yangtze River.
The ancient city wall near the sea has a long history. It has been 1600 years since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, and it has been continuously expanded by the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the main part has been preserved to this day. The ancient city wall is built along the river and on the mountain, winding and spectacular. In particular, the section of Beigushan Mountain is built on the top of a steep cliff, flying around and circling, surrounded by enemy platforms, towering clouds and towering towers. Compared with Badaling in Beijing, it is called "Badaling in the south of the Yangtze River", but its popularity is not high. What is more unique is that on both sides of the ancient city wall near the sea, ancient trees are towering and green all year round, and the city wall is hidden in green bushes, which adds a bit of beauty.
Under the arrangement of Ye Guoling, a seaside friend, another friend Ma accompanied us to the Great Wall in the south of the Yangtze River.
First climb from Range Rover Gate, then climb Ren Haopo on the steps of 198, and then go forward to the unique ancient well building with beautiful scenery. Seeing the scenery in Gujinglou is really worthy of its reputation. The tower in the distance, the tower in the tower, and the vastness of the East Lake have all become a painting in the eyes, slowly depicting. People can't help wondering, is the most legendary Towel Mountain really the place where Hua Xu, a Taoist priest of the Western Han Dynasty, ascended to heaven?
According to reports, in addition to defending the enemy, the ancient city wall near the sea also has a very important function, that is, the function of flood control. One third of the length of the city wall is built along the Lingjiang River. Taizhou Fucheng is located at the entrance of Lingjiang River into the sea. When the river meets the tide, the water level rises and often overflows the city. The city wall is like a levee, which has resisted the impact of floods for thousands of years. Therefore, in the construction design of coastal city walls, special measures have been taken to repair the urn into an arc, especially to repair the side of the "horse face" near the water into a semi-circular arc (the other side is still square), which is very rare in ancient city walls in China and is still an isolated case. Due to the flood control function of the city wall, when the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Di ordered the demolition of all the ancient city walls in the south of the Yangtze River to facilitate the advance of its fighters, while the coastal city wall was specially exempted from demolition because of its irreplaceable flood control function.
The ladder has been extended forward, extended. ...
Blocks of square bricks are covered with dark green moss, which inadvertently adds a hazy green color to the lifeless Great Wall in the south of the Yangtze River, spreading constantly and giving people a sense of intimacy. Long stories are engraved on ancient blue bricks. After thousands of years of wind and rain, it has gradually faded in the long river of time, but the blood of that year can be faintly seen on the weather-beaten epidermis. Parthenocissus tricuspidata gently covers the blue bricks, and the palm-shaped leaves seem a little black, making the Great Wall look old. Hand, gently brushing the brick, inexplicably surges magnificent passion.
There are trees on both sides of the Great Wall, clusters and clusters. There are also many kinds of trees, among which pine and Metasequoia are the most, and occasionally there are a few wild millet trees. They are as old as the Great Wall and have spent countless spring and autumn with it. The autumn wind is rustling, and the leaves on the wrinkled trunk are swaying, as if telling the past. ...
Going forward from Gujinglou is the steepest "hundred steps". Legend has it that Weichi Gong, a general of the Tang Dynasty, commanded the army and civilians to build a city here because the situation around the "Hundred Steps" was too dangerous. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. Climbing a hundred steps is the highest point in the eastern section of the Great Wall, Baiyun Tower. Nowadays, people who have seen many mountains and rivers can't see a cloud in the white clouds downstairs. Down from the Baiyun Pagoda is the Old Town God Temple. Located in Huangchengshan, Wangtiantai Road, Linhai City, in the middle of Gubei Mountain, also known as "Fucheng huang temple". Founded in the fourth year of Tang Wude (62 1), it has a history of nearly 1400 years. It is the earliest and largest temple in Taizhou.
There is also an ancient camphor tree in the temple, half of which is still alive after being struck by lightning.
Go ahead and look at the rooftop. It is similar to the Tiantan in Beijing. When it comes to looking at the rooftop, we have to start from Beigushan. Wang Shixing, a geographer of Amin Dynasty, known as the originator of human geography, once wrote: "Of the eleven counties in Zhejiang, only five are the most dangerous cities, with the southwest facing the big river and the northwest rocks sticking into the sky, although there are no bird paths." The images of "rock inserted into the sky" and "no bird road" depict the danger of Gubei Mountain. The circumference of the ancient city wall of Taizhou Prefecture is 18, with East Lake in the east, Lingjiang River in the south and Gu Bei Peak in the west and north, guarding Taizhou Prefecture like an iron bucket. Therefore, after a lean man captured Taizhou in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, he had the idea of being king.
This lean man is called Fang Guozhen, a native of Huangyan. He led the people to rob and transport grain, killed corrupt officials, and killed the Yuan rulers by breaking the bamboo. When we entered Taizhou Fucheng, Fang Guozhen had 65,438+0,300 ships and more than 65,438 million soldiers. However, the army of the Yuan Dynasty held fast to the city, and Fang Guozhen could not attack it again and again. Finally, with the help of nine fishermen who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, Taicheng was captured from the inside out.
After entering the city, Fang Guozhen ordered people to renovate the city and sent people to build the Temple of Heaven in Beigushan. Soon, the founding of the People's Republic of China became king, with the title of "Song". Subsequently, Fang Guozhen sent people to successively capture several counties in Ningbo. After becoming king, Fang Guozhen had little ambition and no great achievements. Finally took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang.
The dynasty established by Fang Guozhen was short-lived, but the Temple of Heaven he built survived. Because the local dialect "Tan" and "Tai" have the same pronunciation, it became "Tiantai". Later, it is said that Qi of the Qing Dynasty once observed the celestial phenomena here, and later it evolved into a "rooftop looking at the sky".
Hundreds of years later, Wangtiantai was finally lost in the relentless wind and rain, and gradually faded out of people's sight. However, as a place name, "Wangtiantai" has been in use ever since. However, looking at the rooftop is very interesting. The number of steps and railings on the stage is nine and nine. The Temple of Heaven is taller than a floor. There is a white circle in the middle of the highest Temple of Heaven, which is very smooth. Brother, horse, take turns to sit on it and talk, and immediately have an answer; And standing outside the disc, shouting and no response.
On the observation deck overlooking the other end of the city is a large field, which is divided into several pieces by lines. Light green, red, white and yellow flowers are in full bloom, and the colors are very thick ... In all parts of Fang Gezi, several old buffaloes are leisurely walking there, swinging their slender tails. The warm sunshine in spring painted the whole city into a huge landscape painting, and the town was so quiet and peaceful. But what would happen without the Great Wall? I thought the same thing.
Walking down the wall from the watchtower, Lingjiang flashed by. There are whistles on the river from time to time, bowing to the horse wall, and the Lingjiang River is blurred in the bright sunshine. Ma said that whenever the sun goes down, the sunlight reflects and the water vapor in Lingjiang River evaporates like smoke, so it is also called a pavilion.
After passing the Xia Yan Pavilion, the Great Wall continues to meander westward. Although it is not as rough as the Great Wall in the north, it has gathered a kind of spiritual and delicate charm. Zheng Guangwen, a student of the Tang Dynasty, was praised by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty? "Zheng Qian's Three Wonders", in order to commemorate him, later generations established Wenguang Temple in Baxianyan, north of the Great Wall. The prose of ancient poetry is integrated with the pale scenery and the history of conquest. Perhaps this is also the great wall of the south of the Yangtze River.
Walking, I smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms, and I came to Meiyuan. There are pale pink, white, dark pink and even a little green plum blossoms in the plum garden. They compete with each other and bloom their own beauty in spring.
It may take more than three hours to walk through the Great Wall of Jiangnan from beginning to end, and it happens to be East Lake Park (a private garden in the Song Dynasty). The center of the coastal city is the East Lake, which is full of the charm of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, and the shadow reflected on the water surface of the East Lake is the continuous Beigu Mountain. The figure of the Great Wall was suddenly dragged out in a corner of the city and became a landscape accompanying the East Lake.
