Jilin is an ancient city with a long history. Before the Qin Dynasty, Manchu ancestors lived here, which was called "Lou State" in Sushen, Han and Jin Dynasties. It was called "Bieji" in the Northern Wei Dynasty; In the Tang Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of "Fifty Thousand Houses on Kaiyuan Road", a "Privet Kingdom". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this was the shipbuilding base of the imperial court. Now there are still two cliff tablets in Ashhadatun, a suburb of Jilin Province, which record the shipbuilding matters at that time. According to the Ming History, this stone tablet was built by Liu Qing, a general of the Ming Dynasty who was stationed here and ordered to build ships. The inscription was engraved in the seventh year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty. The main content of the inscription is that in the eighteenth year of Yongle, the first year of Hongxi and the seventh year of Xuande, Liu Qing, commander-in-chief of Qin Wei Shipbuilding Company and commander of Liaodong, led the army here three times and stationed in shipbuilding. Therefore, Jilin is also called "shipyard" in history. Jilin was under the jurisdiction of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Ningguta in Qing Dynasty. 167 1 year, Zhu An lake, deputy commander-in-chief, moved here and began to build the city. 1673, build Jilin city. Jilin, formerly known as "Jilin Wula", is a transliteration of Manchu, meaning "the city along the river".
Jilin has beautiful scenery and charming scenery. The Songhua River winds through the city, adding a bit of charm and charm to the city. Jilin is known as "Jiangcheng". According to records, when Emperor Kangxi 1682 traveled east to Jilin, he was full of poetry in the face of thousands of miles of Songhua River water and ships crossing the river, and wrote "Song of boating on Songhua River": "Songhua River, the river is clear, it rains at night, and the waves are beautiful and bright. Colorful sails lightly draw snipes with the wind, Xiao and Shao play in the stream, and the pale rocks and blue walls cross the bank. Clouds shine on He Jingjing? Take the current straight down the dragon and connect with the boat. "
Since then, the name of "Jiangcheng" has been handed down.
Jilin is not only a water city, but also a mountain city. Jiangcheng is surrounded by mountains, such as Zhuque Mountain, Longtan Mountain, Beishan Mountain and Xiaobai. The trees in the mountains are lush, colorful, the monuments are vague, the temples are dotted, and the mountains and rivers blend with history and culture, showing its unique charm.
In the scenery of Jiangcheng, the most amazing thing is the "snow willow on the embankment". In summer, the Songhua River is sparkling and rippling, with ten miles of long dikes along the coast, swaying willows and green shadows, just like a green corridor. In the cold winter, the earth is frozen, and it snows in Wan Li. However, the Songhua River still flows peacefully. Unlike in summer, the river is covered with transpiration. Water vapor drifts with the wind, meets the willow branches on the embankment, and quickly condenses into small ice crystals. In summer, the green and charming willows are put on new silver clothes. Looking from a distance, it seems that the petals of ten thousand pear trees have been blown open, wrapped in white and crystal clear; Looking closely, the jade wisp swayed with the wind and dropped a little ice.
How did this happen? It turns out that the Songhua River flows through a dam that reaches tens of meters high, and the drop suddenly increases, and the water flow accelerates, even in the cold winter, it can't condense into ice. When the water vapor transpiration on the river leaves the mother body, floats in the air, meets Yang Liuzhi and pine needles on the shore, and immediately forms small ice crystals. This is the hanging tree in Jilin, one of the four wonders of the world.
There is another wonder in the beautiful Jiangcheng: whispering-a meteorite. 1on March 8, 976, thousands of meteorites landed in the southeast of Jilin city, 72 meters long and 8.5 meters wide. The meteorite fell into the ground 6 meters deep, and the maximum meteorite weight was 1770 kg, which was 68 kg heavier than the Norton meteorite in the United States, which is known as the world's number one, thus ranking first in the world. This group of "whisperd" was formed as early as 4.6 billion years ago. It is an Apollo asteroid roaming between Mercury and Jupiter. Eight million years ago, it collided with other asteroids and disintegrated. This time, it rushed to the earth. When it flew to the altitude of 19 km above the ground, it was smashed under the fire and high pressure, and fell straight to the ground, stirring up a mushroom cloud of dust. These meteorites are of great scientific research value. Today, these meteorites have been collected in Jilin Museum.
