The Red River Gorge is known as the "Little Three Gorges" in Northeast China. Qingyuan area, known as Sushen State in ancient times, is one of the birthplaces of Manchu and an old revolutionary base area. During the Qing Dynasty, 1 1 four emperors passed by Qingyuan to worship their ancestors and set up wicker border crossings and hunting grounds in Qingyuan, leaving many places of interest and legends. There used to be a raging revolutionary wind and fire here, leaving the glorious footprints of national heroes and revolutionary volunteers such as Yang Jingyu and Wang Renzhai between Baishan and Heishui, and recording the history of revolutionary struggle here for more than a hundred years. Up to now, cultural sites 123 have been discovered here, and more than 40 cultural relics such as stone tools, bronzes and pottery have been excavated 140. The famous "Yan State Knife Coin" in the Warring States 1.20 Jin, and the bronze seal in the ten years of Ming Hongwu 100.
Throughout the territory of China before 1924, the word "Qingyuan" could not be found in the geographical indications of any dynasty, and Qingyuan was submerged in the vicissitudes of Wang Yang. Yes, when the wheel of history bumped into the first half of the 15th century, Nurhachi, the king of Khan, weighed Khan in the upper reaches of Hunhe River, kowtowing to the people here-Tong, Guan, Ma, Suo, Qi, Fu, Na and Lang, laying the foundation for Nurhachi's ambition to win the Central Plains. From then on, Jurchen called it eight hundred fires, and Han people called it eight families.
In the early years, the eight families had a very important strategic position. Nurhachi first unified the three tribes of Jianzhou Nuzhen, Chen Zhe Nuzhen and Wula Nuzhen here, and established the Eight Banners Army with two isolated hills, six Gallas and twenty Lu Niu. Since then, eight families have become the land of Longxing where Nurhachi won the Central Plains, leaving behind the poem "Destiny prospers Beijing, Eight Old Men build cities to win the Central Plains, and the Qing Dynasty reaches mountains and rivers in 300 years".
Historically, Bajiazi was not only high in mountains and dangerous in water, remote and isolated, inconvenient in transportation and sparsely populated, but also had dense river networks, criss-crossing gullies, dense forests and grasses and cliffs. It is precisely because of this natural form that Bajiazi has rich and unique advantages in natural resources. At that time, Jurchen discovered rich mineral deposits and placer gold in the ravine of Bajiazi. Precious Hericium erinaceus and delicacies are collected in the vast mountains, and a large number of wooden sticks and Chinese herbal medicines are excavated in the dense forests. In Hunhe River, Qinghe River, Chaihe River, Liuhe River and Qingxi River, crickets, mussels, freshwater fishes and clams are caught as tributes. Under the temptation and attraction of this natural resource, Bajiazi gathered residents from all directions, who held different languages and different costumes. Since then, in the mountains of Bajiazi, beside the river valley, at the foot of the mountain, in the ravine and beside the stream, small mountain villages are scattered among the mountains like stars. People of all ethnic groups work at sunrise and rest at sunset. In addition to pulling mountains, picking, panning for gold, picking treasures, hunting and fishing in the four seasons, a large area of fertile land has also been cultivated. Every autumn, every household is planted with corn and high-grade soybeans with distinct red and yellow grains.
At the end of the Qing dynasty, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, which made China ravaged by imperialist powers. As far as the northeast is concerned, two robbers, Japan and Russia, first extended their evil hands from Nanman to eight families, and the people were enslaved. Unwilling to endure the humiliation of the great powers, the people of all ethnic groups in Bajiazi stripped off their clothes and walked into the depths of the mountains. In the early years of the Republic of China, the army cut a melee, and the people were even more miserable. Many people were forced to go to Liangshan. In this turbulent era of armed troops, some local ruffians, villains and followers of Wang Ming also took advantage of the situation to become bandits. They attacked their homes and did many evils, which became a great disaster in the region under the system administration in the early Republic of China.
Wang Zhang of Northeast China specially convened a meeting with Chang Yinhuai, Zhang, Zhang Jinghui and Zhang Xueliang to study countermeasures. Finally, the meeting decided to set up a county government in Bajiazi to solve the problem of controlling bandits in this area. According to the arrangement of this meeting, Governor Fengtian issued instruction No.355 on September 1925 in the name of Governor Fengtian's office according to Zhang's will. The instructions said: "In order to eliminate bandits and root out the root causes, a county government will be established in Longgang Mountain area from now on. After discussion, it was named Qingyuan County, and the location of the city was determined.
After the meeting, the Fengtian Governor's Office included 30 villages in Xinbin County (Yingjing), 20 villages in Kaiyuan County, 15 villages in Liuhe County, 14 villages in Dongfeng County, 8 villages in Tieling County, 5 villages in Xifeng County and 5 villages in Hailong. At this point, as a county, Qingyuan County appeared on the chessboard of China. (1June, 989, with the approval of China people and the State Council, qingyuan county was renamed Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County. )
However, the establishment of Qingyuan County failed to fundamentally eliminate bandits. Under the oppression of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism, Qingyuan people are still living in dire straits, and they all hope that the * * * production party on Jinggangshan can come to rescue them as soon as possible. 1August, 930, China * * * Producers Party established the Central * * * Qingyuan County Committee in Qingyuan. Since then, the people of Qingyuan have embarked on an extraordinary journey to rewrite the history of Qingyuan. During the Agrarian Revolution, under the leadership of China Productivity Party, Qingyuan people waged a struggle against local tyrants, exploitation, oppression and overthrowing the three mountains, and wrote an epic of the revolutionary struggle in the early days of Qingyuan. In the arduous War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Qingyuan is the main battlefield of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition led by Yang Jingyu. The famous black stone ambush, Qidaohe ambush, Babaozilan ambush, Longtoushan ambush, Wuhua Dingzi ambush and Lazishan blockade all started in Qingyuan Linhai Xueyuan. Wang Renzhai, commander of the Third Division of the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, Zhou Jianhua, a political commissar, and thousands of anti-Japanese fighters spilled blood on the land of Qingyuan. In the war of liberation, the two countries set out the battlefield in Qingyuan, and the two sides assembled more than 200,000 troops. After the Caoshi Campaign, the annihilation of Nanshan City and the ambush of Shuangxiling, the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces led by China * * Producer Party won the decisive victory of "three times in the south of the Yangtze River and four times to protect the river" before the Liaoshen Campaign, which changed the military posture of the Kuomintang army from strategic attack to strategic defense. It laid the foundation for the victory of Liaoshen Campaign.
