In recent years, the elegant environment of Chongwu Peninsula and the folk customs of fishing villages have aroused the extensive interest of many tourists. This magnificent ancient peninsula city has attracted countless experts, scholars and tourists not far from Wan Li. Friends must feel the same way, right? If you want to know the ancient city of Chongwu, you must trace back to the source and start from the beginning. Chongwu is located in the prominent part of the southeast coast of Fujian Province, surrounded by the sea on three sides and the land on the west. The terrain starts from the misty mountain and is very spectacular. It is sandwiched between Meizhou Bay and Quanzhou Bay. Northbound and Putian's Rinan and Meizhou are horns with each other; To the south, Yongning and Xiangzhi in Jinjiang are horns with each other; East of Taiwan Province Strait. The nearby waters are covered with islands and reefs, and the terrain is complex, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a national defense fortress with a very significant strategic position and has always been a battleground for military strategists. Worship of martial arts means advocating armaments. It is said that in the Song Dynasty, this place was called the sacred place of Chongwu Township. In the sixth year of Xingguo in Song Taiping (AD 98 1 year), after the establishment of Hui 'an County, a small patrol village was set up here. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to Adzuki inspection department. In the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1370), a Japanese pirate group, which was active in the coastal areas of North Korea and China, suddenly landed on the Lijiang River in Xiangzhi, posing a threat to Quanzhou's public security. In the 20th year of Hongwu (A.D. 1387), Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of Ming Dynasty, appointed Jiang Xiahou and Zhou Dexing to inspect the southeast coast in order to defend against Japanese invasion. Zhou Dexing is an expert in military engineering. According to the characteristics of the winding coastline and dangerous terrain in Quanzhou, "one county has a government and even a county has a health". At that time, Quanzhou set up Yongningwei, which governed Fuquan, Zhongzuo, Jinmen, Gaopu and Chongwu. There are five cities in Hui 'an, namely Chongwu City, Otter Cave City, Otaku City, Huang Qi City and Fengwei City. Chongwucheng is one of the five cities, belonging to thousands of households around Yongning, Fujian. This city has been built for more than 600 years. The ancient city of Chongwu is all made of white granite. The wall is 2457 meters long, the foundation is 5 meters high, the wall is 7 meters high, and there are two layers of horse racing. There are 1304 wall dishes, 1300 arrow windows and 26 nests on the wall. There are gates on all sides. Each inner door is 3.2m high and1.3m wide, and each front door is 2.6m high and 0.9m wide. The three gates in the east, west and north are similar, each with two gates, each with a beacon tower and the south gate facing the wall. In the commanding heights of Lianhua Mountain in the city, there is also a watchtower. There is a pool, a well and a culvert around the city leading to the front of the city. The intersection of the city connects four gates. In the 15th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 14 17), the city wall was raised 1.3 meters. These city walls, wopu, gatehouse, moon city, wharf, fortress and martial arts school constitute a complete strategic defense engineering system in ancient China. Ding Shaohe, a guarding city in the Ming Dynasty, once wrote a poem praising: "There are three dragons and fish caves in the lonely city, and there are tigers and leopards in the big peak." As the forefront of coastal defense, Chongwu ancient city was the first to bear the brunt of the Japanese invasion in the Ming Dynasty and was repeatedly invaded. Also lost in the city, the iron horse screams. For hundreds of years, generations of soldiers and civilians in the ancient city have relied on natural barriers and. The solid stone city, after the baptism of blood and fire, wrote an epic battle poem with its life. The "Dragon Guard Officer", "Mountain Worship Officer", "Newspaper Worship Temple", "Yuan Feeding Palace" and "Twelve Chief Officers" here were all built by the soldiers and civilians of the ancient city to commemorate the heroes who died in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. At the beginning of the establishment of Chongwu City, it was defended by soldiers all over the country. It is still called "the home of the people, above ten thousand people" (there are still 98 surnames). Soldiers have thrived here and made indelible contributions to defending the ancient city. According to historical records, in the 22nd year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1424), 1000 more than one enemy landed on the mountain, burning, killing and looting. Zhang Rong, a thousand families in Chongwu, led the soldiers and civilians to rise up against Japan, and finally saved the ancient city and saved Chongwu City from a disaster. In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1560), the Japanese army attacked Chongwu City, and the soldiers and civilians in the city fought bloody battles. Due to isolation, food is trapped in the city. The Japanese plundered the city for 42 days, doing all kinds of evil, which was outrageous. In the first year of Qin Long in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1567), Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese soldier, visited Chongwu in person to command the extermination of the enemy, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. After ten years of Japanese riots, Chongwu has also become an important town in the southeast coast. In addition, the ancient city of Chongwu, as a historical witness, witnessed that the army marched eastward to recover Taiwan Province Province, the treasure island of the motherland, and that Chongwu soldiers and civilians liberated Xiamen Island, the southern gate of the motherland, with China Southern Airlines, and witnessed that Premier Zhou personally commanded the Chongwu naval battle in 1956, sinking and injuring invading warships Yongtai and Yongchang. The soldiers and civilians in the ancient city are brave and good at fighting, which is refreshing; Ancient literati deeply loved their hometown, and their enthusiasm for hometown eulogized it, which aroused a strong sense of * * * for future generations. The stone carving "Deep in Haimen" between the cliffs in the southern suburb of Chongwu was written by Huang Zhi, a famous poet and painter. Huang Zeng "stayed in Jiangwan for ten years to avoid chaos". In three years (AD 1569), the enemy was pacified and Huang returned to his hometown. With great joy, he sang the peaceful scene after the Japanese invasion: "Looking at the sea and the south, the dust is flying, the desert is flat, fishing boats are singing, and farmers live by the water." In the Ming Dynasty, Dai Zhuofeng, the political envoy of Huian, also carved a couplet on the throat rock of Chongwu Dragon: "Suck the veins stood out and swallow the Tianchi Lake in Riyue Town", which highly summarized the majestic momentum of Chongwu and showed the eternal heroic spirit of the ancient sages. Today, Chongwu City still preserves more than 30 Antang temples and main houses built in Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
