It is reported that Shengting Pavilion, located at the top of the ancient cluster platform, was built in Jiajing 13 of the Ming Dynasty (1534) and was built by soldier Yang Yi. Why build a pavilion? According to Yang Yi's book According to Sheng Ting, "Count Chuanzi (No.. Yang Yi) attacked Zhao Di, visited Handan City and went to the northeast corner. The station is not far from the city, and the potential is out of the city at once. He said in fear, "If the high platform forces the city, the enemy or I will take it and be attacked on the back, and the city will be in danger." "This shows the purpose of his pavilion, that is," the building must be guarded, and it can be guarded ". After the pavilion was completed, Yang Yi became a servant, saying, "If you disturb my victory, build my pavilion, and the city will always depend on each other. "."At that time, according to the pavilion, the area and structure were not tested.

The Zhisheng Pavilion in front of 1963 was built in the second year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1963), with a rolling shed at the top and lying by the mountain (attached with the photo of the cluster platform in 1939).

If he wanted to harm Chen again, he told the emperor that Xingyuan was married to a foreign country and put Chen Dongchu and his wife in prison. Chen Xingyuan, who went to a foreign country to ask for a kiss, was sent to Handan by Mei Liangyu, with tears and blood in her eyes, and joined hands on the platform, so she cried goodbye. This story, which advocates loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, adds an interesting story for tourists to understand the feudal tradition in China.

So he set up a wine table and invited Xie Gong and xie zhi's Ministry to Ma Wu for dinner, but it failed. After the banquet, Liu Xiu and Ma Wu took the stage alone and used their position to win over Ma Wu. As a result, Ma Wu returned to Liu Xiu. This couplet is gone now.

On the west side of Taiwan, there is a tablet titled "Preface of Congtai Collection", written by He Sui, chief of staff of Huncheng Brigade of the 1 1 (1922) in the first year of the Republic of China, and written by Wang, a local citizen. This paper describes the long history, the origin and location of the name, the general situation of construction and the scenic spots of Congtai. The two monuments are one, nearly a thousand words. The original site of the monument was on the platform of the south gate of Congtai, and it was changed here in June 1989+00.

Around the wall of Wensheng Pavilion, there are seven stone tablets, such as Ascending the Congtai by Zhang Chengren in the Ming Dynasty, Meihua Stone Carving by Jinshi Wang Qintang in the late Qing Dynasty, and Orchid Stone Carving by Li Shichang (Shao 'an). Their paintings and art are also quite unique.

Rebuilding the Congtai Monument was set up by Gao Guizi after the completion of Congtai in 2 1 (1932) of the Republic of China. The article praised the martial spirit of Zhao Haoqi and Wu Lingren, who changed the habit of riding and shooting, and tried to sweep away the lazy habits of Chinese people. It also describes the process of adding buildings to the platform and rebuilding the cluster platform. The inscription was written by Gao Guizi. The font is correct and generous, vigorous and powerful. This monument is well preserved and has been moved to the forest of steles in Handan.

It was written by Guan Zhong Hu Jingyi, commander of the Second National Army in 1 1 (1922). "The words are imitation of the Six Dynasties, although they are not antiques, but the peaks and hills are neat, which is quite eerie" (1933 Handan County Records). According to Records of Handan County 1939, there are gates on the north and south walls of Taiwan Province, each with a forehead. There is a saying that "water flows eastward" in the south and "purple gas comes from the west" in the north.

The monument of Zhaowuling Congtai Site was built in the year of Wanli 2 1 (1593) in Ming Dynasty. There are seven characters of "Zhao Wuling Congtai Site" engraved on Beiyang. The first paragraph is "Deng Yuntai, a native of Handan County, Guangping Prefecture, Zhili", and the second paragraph is "Wang Yongning, a teacher of Wanli for four years, attaches importance to it". The inscription on the stone tablet has been weathered, blurred and illegible. According to relevant people's memories, the original intention of the monument was to rebuild Handan City, bearing in mind the name of repairing the city and the four gates. This monument was originally located on the west side of the former site of Qixian Temple, and later located under the east wall of the south gate of Congtai, next to the base of Congtai wall. The monument of 1966 was knocked down and laid flat on the northeast bank of Garden Lake. 1989 when the monument was rebuilt, the tortoise shell of the monument seat was damaged and could not be used again. As a result, the turtle nest was re-erected as a monument and stood under the wall on the west side of the cluster platform. For tourists to watch and think. Historically, at the beginning, there were flyovers, snow caves, cosmetic kiosks and gardens on the cluster platform, which were unique in structure and beautifully decorated, and were very famous in all countries at that time. The ancients described the grandeur of the cluster with the poem "The overpass connects Han if Changhong, and the snow cave is blurred like a silver sea". Some famous literati in history, such as Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi, great poets in the Tang Dynasty, visited Congtai many times and wrote poems. However, in the long years of more than 2,000 years, Congtai has undergone numerous natural and man-made disasters, and has been rebuilt and rebuilt many times, with great changes. According to local records, it has been restored more than ten times since the middle of Ming Dynasty (about 1500 years). Among them, a palace stage was built in the 15th year of Qing Qianlong (1750), which was later destroyed by an earthquake in the 10th year of Daoguang (1830). The cluster platform we saw was built in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty (1862- 1874). It was built to rule this country, and then it was rebuilt.

On the north side of Congtai, there is a Seven Sages Temple, which was built to commemorate Zhao's Han Jue, Gong Sun, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, Li Mu and Zhao She. Historical books such as "Historical Records" recorded the touching deeds of this "seven gentlemen". The Historical Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which is generally based on historical books, describes the touching story of "three loyalties" (,Gongsun, and Han Jue) who gave their lives to save Zhao orphans in the chapter of "Living in the Surrounding Palace".

Before Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty ascended the throne, when Liu Xuan, the reformed emperor, was the king of freedom, he took Tianguan to inspect Hebei. After Liu Ling, the king of small guns, arrived in Handan, he invited Liu Xiu to Congtai for dinner. As a result, Liu Xiu was ambushed by Xiao Bao Wang. Thanks to general Yuntai's escort near Liu Xiu, he escaped.
