Dianjiang Terrace, known as Zhongdi Terrace in ancient times, is located on Puzi Mountain, the site of Pukou Ming City Wall, Pukou District, Nanjing City, between Gudongmen Town and Gunanmen Town. It is a well-known place name in Jiangbei, Nanjing.
It is said that during the Chu-Han War, General Han Xin set up his formation here to retreat from Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu also led the rebel army here to annihilate the Jin soldiers who fled north across the Yangtze River. According to "Jiangpu Pi Cheng": "The enemy's platform is on the Pukou city. The city is located on Puzi Mountain. The platform is built on the ridge. It is majestic and majestic. Looking down at the river and sky, thousands of people gather in front of you. It is the first scenic spot in Pukou."
Since 1984, the Dianjiantai site has been listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Pukou District. It is now a Nanjing municipal cultural relic protection unit and is planned to be included in the main construction along the north of the Yangtze River in Nanjing's "Dajiang Scenic Area".

The stone steps are lingering on the green moss, and the high-rise windows are open. Across the river, the sun is slanting and the rain is beginning to fall, and countless beautiful mountains are flying over. This Qijue poem "Ascending the Enemy Tower after the Rain" is a poem written by Zheng Jingyuan, a native of Pukou in the Qing Dynasty, to express his feelings on the scene. After the rain, the Zhongji Tower looks even more majestic and majestic, making people suddenly enlightened and relaxed. According to the "Jiangpu Pi Cheng" record: "The enemy's platform is on the Pukou city. The city is located on Puzi Mountain. The platform is built on the ridge. It is majestic and majestic. Looking down at the river and sky, thousands of people gather in front of you. It is the first scenic spot in Pukou." In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1371), in order to protect the gateway to Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty built Pukou City with a circumference of sixteen miles in the area of ??today's East and Nanmen Towns. From the 16th year of Hongzhi to the 12th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1503~1517 AD), the Yangtze River changed its course and moved northward, collapsing a section of the city wall south of Pukou City and the two city gates of "Qingjiang" and "Wangjing". The river flows along Puzi Mountain, Pingshan Mountain and Pagoda Mountain. A hundred years later, in the forty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1616), Grand Sima Huang Kezuan came to Pukou for inspection. He believed: "Pucheng is the protection of Nanjing. If it lacks one aspect, it is the same as having no city. It should be built... If you can rely on the mountains, follow them; if you can avoid the rivers, avoid them..." His suggestions and suggestions were quickly approved with the support of imperial officials such as Da Sikong Dingbin and Shao Si Kong Luo Chaoguo. Repairing the southern section of the city wall that was washed away by the river started in October of the 45th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and was completed in the late summer of the 46th year of Wanli (1617~1618 AD). It took nearly a year to repair the southern part of Pukou City. The city wall on the outside is 899 feet, and an urn city, four gates, nine water holes, and seven enemy towers were built at the same time, including the "central enemy tower". "Jiangpu Pi Cheng" records: "A peak rises from Puzi Mountain, which used to be in the center of Pukou City. During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, the river moved northward, and the southern city was completely enclosed. In the Wanli period, the city was rebuilt across it. Today, under the city wall, there are huge rocks standing thousands of feet steep. , I still imagine that when the raging waves are surging, there is a middle enemy platform on top. The newly built central enemy platform is "more than ten feet high and four or five feet wide. It is empty below, with ? It was also repaired during the Shunzhi and Jiaqing years of the Qing Dynasty. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Army and the Qing Army fought many fierce battles in Pukou, and the enemy's platform was destroyed in the war. In the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1881), when Pukou City was rebuilt again, the Central Enemy Tower was rebuilt. It's a pity that the enemy tower that was rebuilt this time stood on Puzi Mountain for sixty years before it all collapsed. Fortunately, two old gentlemen in our district still have a photo of the Central Enemy Tower before it collapsed. This photo allows us to see the appearance of the Central Enemy Tower at that time and provides first-hand information for future reconstruction. According to "Jiangpu Pi Cheng": "The Central Enemy Tower... has three couplets on the tower, with double eaves flying over the sky, and the windows are bright, which is the so-called five-day rule in the old records." When the Central Enemy Tower was first built, it was originally for military use, but Because of its majestic and unique style, it has quickly become "the number one scenic spot in Pukou" for people to watch the Yangtze River and express their emotions. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many literati and poets often invited each other with wine, went on stage to enjoy the scenery, and wrote poems and left words. There used to be plaques on the platform of the enemy such as "Liudu Pinghan", "The river is spectacular", "The river and the mountains are majestic", "Chi Wu Tian" and so on. This is not only an impromptu work by some celebrities, but also illustrates the geographical location and natural features of the enemy's platform. The seven rhymes of "Five Days with My Uncle Sun Ahui's Family" by Li Kezhi from Pukou truly depicts the scene at that time. He wrote: The trees in the dew trees were harvested in the early summer, and they followed each other to the stone building. The peaks on the river are green after the rain, and the July atmosphere in the mountains is full of autumn. The clouds are low and the birds in their nests are dreaming under the trees, and the swallows are dancing in the clear water on the river. With a sentence to call heaven to be here, An Neng will be able to conquer the barbarians in ten days. Dianjiangtai When talking about the Enemy Tower, Dianjiangtai must be mentioned. Regarding Dianjiangtai, although there are no detailed written records in the county annals, its popularity far exceeds that of Zhongenetai. Regarding "Dianjiangtai", there are still two popular legends left in Pukou area. What a coincidence. These two legends are related to people named "Han", and these two people named "Han" are both commanders of the army. One of the legends is: Dianjiangtai Stone Stele There is a Tibetan Soldier Cave under the Dianjiangtai, which leads all the way to the back of Langya Mountain in Chuzhou, Anhui Province. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Chu and Han were fighting, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin who had made great contributions to Liu Bang's establishment of the Han Dynasty, met Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, here.
Xiang Yu believed that he was so brave that he "stretched the mountains and conquered the world" and wanted to fight Han Xin decisively. At that time, Major General Han Xinbing was weak and was no match for Xiang Yu. How to defeat the enemy? Only outsmart. Han Xin climbed up to a platform on the top of Puzi Mountain and said: "I have thousands of troops here, how can you be my opponent?" Xiang Yu didn't believe it and said: "Looking at this small place, how can there be a heavy army? I can only see it with my eyes." It's true." So Han Xin waved the command flag and directed a group of soldiers and horses with fresh weapons to pass in front of Xiang Yu's formation and go around the northwest of the back mountain. Han Xin's troops continued to flow, and they marched for three days and three nights. People couldn't help but ask: "How come so many of Han Xin's troops came out at once?" It turned out that these troops entered from the cave behind Langya Mountain in Chuzhou and came out from the cave of hiding soldiers under the general stage, and so on, so that People feel that there are really thousands of troops. Xiang Yu saw that Han Xin's troops had not finished marching for three days and three nights, so he was so frightened that he retreated without fighting. This is exactly the point of the overlord's bravery and lack of strategy. Legend of Dianjiangtai Another legend of Dianjiangtai is related to Han Shizhong of the Southern Song Dynasty. Han Shizhong was an anti-gold hero at the same time as Yue Fei. When Jin Wushu entered the Central Plains for the fifth time, he was defeated by Han Shizhong's army in Zhenjiang and fled north, and was later besieged in the Yangtze River. Han Shizhong's wife Liang Hongyu was also a famous "heroine". In order to effectively intercept Jin Wushu's troops, she personally climbed onto the 10- to 20-foot-high mast of the warship, beat the war drums and directed the soldiers to fight. It is said that Liang Hongyu played the drum with a drum hammer in one hand and commanded with the flag in the other hand. Since she climbed high and could see far, the soldiers followed the command flag in her hand to point east and hit west, and to hit west according to the command flag in her hand, so that the golden soldiers had no place to hide. This is the famous "Liang Hongyu beats drums to resist the Jin soldiers" in history. After Jin Wushu's defeat, he was preparing to cross north from Xuanhua at Pukou, the old escape route, when he suddenly discovered that on the top of a high mountain on the north bank, Song soldiers were in formation and ready; they also saw a group of troops at the entrance of a cave. When the troops and horses walked out, Jin Wushu was so frightened that he neither dared to go south nor fled north. In the end, he was defeated and fled to "Huang Tiandang", a dangerous port, and almost died. Zangbing Cave It is said that the mountain that Jin Wushu saw in the Yangtze River was the "Dianjiang Platform", and the formation on the platform was the suspicious soldiers deployed by Han Shizhong in order to cooperate with Liang Hongyu to defeat the Jin soldiers in one fell swoop. Although their soldiers were not There are many, but they can win unexpectedly and gain a good reputation. And "Dianjiangtai" also became famous and has been passed down to this day. However, some people say that it started from Han Xin, some people said that it started from Han Shizhong, and others said: "The Cangbing Cave is at the foot of Dianjiangtai Mountain, and it does lead to the back of Langya Mountain in Chu County. More than 30 years after the liberation of In 1982, during the cultural relics survey, cultural relics cadres, under the guidance of local elders, finally found a large cave entrance with a radius of 20 square meters at the bottom of the mountain. But whether it was the "Tibetan Soldier Cave"? It remains to be confirmed. According to the memory of Zeng Genglin, a deceased man from Dongmen Town, when his grandfather was young, he saw someone going down into this cave. At that time, the person who went down into the cave had a long rope tied around his waist, and the rope was connected to the bell at the entrance of the cave. If you hear the bell ringing, quickly pull the person out of the cave. Unfortunately, the strong man who went down did not go far before ringing the bell and returning to the cave entrance. After the strong man came out of the cave, he said: "The cave is very wide, but four horses can." Parallel, but too deep and too cold to go further. "Some people went down and saw the bones of dead horses in the cave. According to the late old man Jingying Kunniao, in the early days of liberation, when the Agricultural Machinery School and Agricultural Machinery Branch were doing infrastructure construction, he participated in the excavation project. At the foot of Dianjiangtai Mountain from southeast to northwest In the direction, he personally dug out and saw a section of brick and stone road, and it was laid out very regularly. Is this related to the Zangbing Cave? Is it a road at the bottom of the cave? According to historical records in Anhui, Xuehong Cave is in. There is a "Xuehong Cave" behind Langya Temple in Chuzhou. Some locals also say that this cave leads to Pukou Dianjiang Terrace. It is also recorded that the patriotic poet Xin Qiji of the Southern Song Dynasty once visited the "Xuehong Cave". There are historical facts and legends, but there are amazing coincidences. I hope that this historical mystery will be revealed one day. However, based on this inference, the relationship between Dianjiangtai and Han Shizhong seems to be more consistent with historical facts. "Jiangpu Pi Cheng" only briefly mentions: "It is said that it is the Han Hou Terrace, and the foot of the terrace is where his troops were hidden. "In addition, there is also a seven-rhythm poem written by Han Yin from Pukou during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. "On the first day of spring, with orchids and three autumns, Puwang Jiuyuan mountain climbed to the enemy's platform": When the spring is deep and the spring is still cold, I will wander around in the small steps of spring. The sky is too low to allow me to climb up to the city and scream. The mountains are far away and people are invited to look at them. The inscriptions on the cliffs of Xin Qiji in Langya Mountain are in harmony with each other. The traces of Hongni are heard in Chongtai. (Emphasis added by the author) The last two sentences of this poem also illustrate the connection between Dianjiangtai and the surname Han. If we look at the history of the legend itself, it is said that Dianjiangtai is disappointing. There is also a terrible homophonic word for "Ya Hao" - Dian Zhengtai. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army brutally suppressed the Taiping Army in Pukou. They killed so many people that they piled up corpses so much that there was no one to bury them, and the corpses were scattered in the wilderness. Later, the people living in Pu** turned out to be "not even one out of twenty!" People then built a "mound of white bones" south of the burned enemy platform (see "Jiangpu Pi Cheng"), so there is a saying of "pointing the deadlock platform". This is undoubtedly the Qing Dynasty's brutal suppression of the Taiping Army. The evidence of the massacre of innocent people has disappeared today, and only the "Rebuilding Pukou City" written by Gu Qiyuan, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy and a wine worshipper at the Imperial Academy, was left in the 46th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. "Memory" stone tablet stands on the top of the mountain. This Ming tablet is now listed as a cultural relic in Pukou District. It is one of the witnesses of history.
Although there are detailed historical records of Zhongenetai and Dianjiangtai is just a legend, people in Pukou believe that it is Dianjiangtai. To this day, people still call it "Dianjiangtai", and even the bus station and road at the foot of the mountain are called "Dianjiangtai Bus Station" and "Dianjiangtai Road". The "Dianjiangtai" site has been listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Pukou District since 1984, and will be upgraded to a municipal cultural relic protection unit and planned to be included in the main construction along the north of the Yangtze River in Nanjing's "Dajiang Scenic Area". Geographical location: At the junction of East and Nanmen Towns in Pukou District, Nanjing, there is a steep red stone mountain. It comes from the northwest to the east, like a giant dragon swinging its tail, and is stranded on the land by the eastward moving Yangtze River. The dragon's head just lies beside the road overlooking the Yangtze River, silently looking back on the past... This is the Jiangbei area of ??Nanjing Everyone knows the "Dianjiangtai". According to historical records, it should be called "Zhong Enemie Tower", while "Dianjiang Tower" is related to legend.
