Let’s experience the infinite scenery of Dayu together!
Meiguan is located at the top of Meiling between Meiling Town, Nanxiong City, Guangdong Province (merged into Zhuji Town) and Meiguan Town, Dayu County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province (merged into Nanan Town). A place that straddles two provinces. From Jiangxi and Shaoguan, you can go up to Meiguan. Standing on the mountain, you can enjoy the scenery of the two provinces.
Meiguan has a long history. During the Song Dynasty, someone signed the word Meiguan here, so it was named Meiguan. Plum trees are planted on the hillsides around Meiguan. During the cold winter months every year, the plum blossoms bloom in full bloom, making it extremely beautiful. In Meiguan, you can not only enjoy the pleasant natural scenery and the sight of plum blossoms in bloom, but also remember the ancients and events here.
Meiguan is an important traffic artery between north and south, especially the main road between Guangdong and Jiangxi. Since the Song Dynasty, Meiguan Station and Guan Tower have been set up. Today, the Meiguan Ancient Road has become a frequent place for tourists to visit and remember the past.
In addition, Meiguan was also a base for the Red Army’s guerrilla operations in the 1930s. Comrade Chen Yi led the Red Army soldiers to fight here for three years and visited every corner of Meiguan. , and left many revolutionary poems here, especially "Three Chapters of Meiling", which greatly enhanced the popularity of Meiguan. There are many relics of the Red Army battles in Meiguan today.
Have you been to Meiguan?
This is an interesting topic. Opening the "Ganzhou Prefecture Chronicles", we know that Dayu Meiguan was built by Wu Qi, the Prime Minister of the State of Chu, who led his army to conquer Gan and Yue. This local chronicle records Wu Qi's achievements in detail. This includes building a pier on the Gan River, building the Peony Pavilion, and building the Meiguan Pass and ancient roads. Later, due to the death of Chu to Qin and the blind worship of Qin Shihuang in recent years, people no longer mentioned Chu's great achievements in developing the south. Including the "Cangwu County" established by the Chu State in Lingnan (now Wuzhou and Fengkai, Guangxi), the historical sites of Guangzhou's "Wuyang City" which introduced rice farming culture to the Lingnan people have all disappeared. No coincidence. More than 20 years after the death of Chu, Wu Rui, the king of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty, ordered his son Wu Yang to lead an army to conquer Wuling due to frequent barbarian robbery. These Chu remnants were forced to migrate southward to various provinces. One of them came to southern Jiangxi and filled every county and village with place names prefixed with "She". Known as "She people" in history. The word "she" is synonymous with the ancestral name of the Chu royal family "Jinshiyou", expressing a strong patriotic spirit. Nowadays, when people go to Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province, they can still hear hundreds of place names with the character She, such as Shepo, Sheshan, Shetang, Shecun...
I'm going too far. The Chu people opened up Meiguan in order to cooperate with the establishment of Cangwu County, connect the transportation between Ganjiang River and Beijiang River in Guangdong, and comprehensively develop the vast land of Lingnan. When Meiguan and the ancient road were first built, the base for rock carvings was in today's Dayu, so historically the jurisdiction of Meiguan was also assigned to Dayu. The Meiguan Ancient Road has become the only convenient and fast "official road" from the Central Plains to Lingnan. Officials who were demoted from the capital in the past dynasties, such as Han Yu, Zhang Jiuling, Su Shi, Tang Xianzu, etc., all passed here and left popular poems. What's more, Tang Xianzu's immortal work "The Peony Pavilion" was completed at the Peony Pavilion next to the Ganjiang Pier.
In August 1996, the author led the film crew of "Hakkas in China" from Dayu to Meiguan. Suddenly, I heard several visiting soldiers chanting poems loudly at the pass: "There are no plum blossoms in Meiguan." , the eternal history shines on China. ”...
Meiguan is located in Dayu Mountain, one of the Five Ridges, with Ganzhou in Jiangxi to the north and Nanxiong in Guangdong to the south. So to be precise, Meiguan is a scenic spot unique to Ganzhou and Nanxiong. Regarding Meiguan, I think there are a few things I can share with you. The first is the origin of the name. There are two theories about how the name Meiguan came about. One is that during the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang sent his general (Mei X) to guard Dayuling. Under his management The Dayuling area developed very well. In order to commemorate him, everyone renamed it Meiguan. Another saying is that there are mountains full of plum blossoms planted there. In winter, the plum blossoms are in full bloom and the flowers are fragrant in all directions, so it is named Meiguan. Named Meiguan. The second is the Meiguan allusion. The development of Meiguan is related to my country's famous Tang Dynasty poet and politician Zhang Jiuling. As the emperor's advisor at that time, Zhang Jiuling experienced the hardships of the journey when he returned home and realized the significance of opening Meiguan. Under his leadership, the Meiguan Ancient Road began to be built, and played a great role in the cultural, economic, and population integration between the Central Plains and Lingnan. The Meiguan Ancient Road was called the ancient highway. At the same time, Marshal Chen Yi fought guerrilla warfare here and wrote the famous "Three Chapters of Meiling" here. Therefore, the Meiguan Ancient Road is also a place with strong red tourism culture; third, it is tourist attractions and specialties. The existing attractions on the Meiguan Ancient Road include Banshan Pavilion, Lady Temple, Six Groups of Huineng Temples, etc. The most interesting and meaningful one is the Meiguan Ancient Road Gate Tower, which separates Jiangxi and Guangdong. Here you can experience The wonder of crossing two provinces with one foot. The specialties of this place are peanut cakes, Nanxiong salted duck, hungry meat and so on.
Meiguan was an important post road pass connecting Jiangxi and Guangdong in ancient times. Literally speaking, Meiguan is the name of Nanxiong in Guangdong Province, which belongs to Meiling Township, Nanxiong City, Shaoguan
The territory of Dayu, Jiangxi Province to the north of Meiguan is called Meiling
