Longwangjian site

The most magnificent villa around Wuhan is the Dragon King's Tip in Li Ji, Huangpi. Longwangjian Shanzhai, also known as Yong 'an Village, was built to protect bandits and people. It is located at the junction of the northeast of Li Ji Street and the west of Changxuanling Street. The spectacular gables are basically complete and spectacular, and are called the Great Wall of Wuhan. It is also a scene of Wuhan's back garden. There are Shanzhai Pillow Mine in the north, Wuhan in the south, Longwangjian in the east and Shuangfeng Mountain in the west.

Longwangjian, the main peak, is 385.6 meters above sea level. There is an ancient temple at the top of the main peak, named Longwang Temple, which was built in the second year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty. In the autumn of the thirty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1606), a fire broke out on the northern slope of the mountain, and the ancient temple was destroyed, leaving only a pile of existing rocks. During the construction and renovation of Longwangjian Shi Cun, it became a "refugee concentration camp" for the surrounding people to "avoid bandits" and "hide long hair", with as many as 30,000 refugees. The fence in the village is built with "sentry", "arrow window", "Stonefur Tower" and "beacon tower". There used to be roads extending in all directions in the village, but now they have disappeared among dense shrubs, vines and weeds.

Longwangjian Ancient Village was built in Jingtai for seven years (1456). At that time, the Ming Dynasty was characterized by political corruption and social unrest. Bandits come to the northwest township of Huangpi from time to time to burn, kill and plunder. In order to "protect people from bandits" and prevent mountain fires, villagers raised funds to build the Dragon King Sword Shi Cun in the winter of 1456. When Qiu Shi Village was completed in the seventh year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, Liu Changxu, then the magistrate of Huangpi County, went to congratulate him and named the castle Yong 'an Village, meaning long-term stability.

After the completion of Longwangjian Castle, the perimeter of the fenced stone village is about 1.2.5 km, and the fenced stone village is about 1.5km2 ... Stone village stands by the mountain and stands on the misty peak. The stockade wall is made of stone, strip stone and flaky, and the gap is filled with gravel and soil residue. The average height of the stockade wall is 3.5 meters. There are four stockade gates in the whole stockade, and Nanzhaizi Gate is the largest, strongest and most spectacular. The Stone Village is built according to the Nine Songs and Eight Diagrams Array, with Sentinel, Arrow Window, Stonefur Tower and Beacon Tower. There are patrol lanes (also called walkways) with a width of 1. 1 to 1.4 meters in the middle of the interior wall. The sentry post and arrow window are generally 1.8 to 2 meters, which are mainly used for lookout and launching spears and arrows. There are many beacon towers, one of which is located at the top of Longwang Temple, and the other is at Xizhaimen. This farmhouse is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If besieged, the village has food and water, and it is convenient to stick to aid. You can't leave the cabin in March or February.

In the ninth year of Xianfeng (1859), Governor Hu Guang wrote an inscription "impregnable" for Shi Cun, the Dragon King's Tip under construction, to show his appreciation. During the two hundred years of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shizhai became a refugee concentration camp for the surrounding people to "avoid bandits". There are tens of thousands of refugees at most. At the end of Xianfeng, a street including inn, drugstore, grocery store, rice shop, blacksmith's shop, tailor's shop, carpenter's shop, mill, restaurant, dyehouse and casino was built in the village, which was called Tianjie or Commercial Street.

-There are dozens of ancient stone villages built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Huangpi. Such as Hongguan Shanzhai, Xifeng Jianzhai, Feng Ping Fengzhai, Zhangjiazhai, Zhoujiazhai and Chenjiazhai. Stone village is full of dry masonry, different sizes, standing on the top of the mountain and cliffs. Now these stone villages are badly damaged, and almost all of them have become broken walls. Only the Dragon King's Tip Shi Cun is well preserved-the middle and lower walls of the village are basically intact, and most stone houses still retain more than half of the walls.

-The Dragon King's Jane's Zhai has a small world and is a special social settlement. It is an ideal specimen to study the social situation in Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially in Xianfeng period.

-In addition, there are some stories and legends related to the history, culture and landscape of Longwangjian, praising kindness, justice, courage, purity and filial piety, such as Rain, Catching Thieves in the Greenwood, Six Li Po Porters Picking up Gold Cakes, Yellow, Yuezi Mother and Child House and so on.
