Yuhuatai has a history of more than 3000 years, starting from 1 147 BC, when Taber came to this area to teach farmers. Since Gou Jian, the King of Yue, built the "Yuecheng" in 472 BC, Yuhuatai area has become a good place to climb mountains and climb mountains. During the Three Kingdoms period, the mountains were full of colorful stones, also known as Lion Hill, Agate Hill and Jubaoshan. During the Liang Wudi period in the Southern Dynasties, Buddhism prevailed. A monk, Master Guang Yun, set up an altar here to give lectures, which touched God and made the Yuhuatai rain. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the "Rain Flower View" and "High Wind at the Bottom of Wood" in the scenic spot were listed as one of the "Eighteen Scenes of Jinling" and "Forty-eight Scenes of Jinling" respectively.
Yuhuatai is also a place where literati and even emperors recite scriptures. From Li Bai, Wang Anshi, Lu You, Zhu Yuanzhang, Kangxi, Qianlong to Lu Xun, Tian Han, Guo Moruo and Liu Haisu, they all left beautiful poems chanting the Yuhuatai. Because Yuhuatai is the commanding height in the south of Nanjing, it has become a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. Yimei, the satrap of Zhang Yu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once resisted foreign invasion. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Bing invaded, and Yue Fei, a famous anti-Jin star, defeated Jin Bing here. Since then, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Tianjing Defence War, the Revolution of 1911' s crusade against Qing soldiers, and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's "Capital Defence War" have all ignited bonfires here, and Yuhuatai has gradually become barren.
After 1927, Yuhuatai became the execution ground for Kuomintang rulers to slaughter * * * producers and revolutionaries. After the founding of New China, the Party and the government decided to build a martyrs cemetery here.
