The ancient city of Tao Zhu is famous for its Japanese hero General Qi Jiguang's crushing defeat of the Japanese army. It was built in the eighth year of the Ming Dynasty and was personally supervised by Jiao Hong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Housing. It was the key point to enter Taizhou Fucheng from the sea in ancient times, and its military position was very important and extremely dangerous. At that time, there were 4 1 hospitals along the southeast coast of Zhejiang, and Tao Zhu was one of them. According to the garrison, the establishment of the Ming army is 1 12 people 100 households, and the chief said 100 households/120 people 1000 households, which are under the jurisdiction of the coast guard. The ancient city was originally 20 feet high and surrounded by 70 steps, which was extremely strong. Now the average height is 4.5 meters, the perimeter is 1400 meters, and the width of the city base is 10 meters. There are three doors, east, south and west. There is an urn outside the city gate, and the city gate is open, which is the two gates that enter the city. Pu Shu, whose east and west gates are the same size and similar in shape, is elegant and natural. Although the Pu Shu on the edge of Dongwengcheng is old, it is still vigorous and tall. According to the cloud, two cypress trees in the east and west of the city are more than 30 meters high, and the trunk diameter is 1.5 meters, showing an umbrella shape. After more than 500 years of wind and rain, it is now full of vitality, symbolizing the eternal prosperity of Tao Zhu, so later people call it Feng Shui Tree.
The Anti-Japanese Exhibition Hall was established to commemorate the famous anti-Japanese warrior Qi Jiguang's battle to the north and south, wipe out the Japanese invaders, defend the country and people, stimulate patriotic feelings, strengthen revolutionary traditional education, and play the role of historical relics in socialist economic construction. The exhibition hall was built in April 1993, covering an area of more than 900 square meters. The platform door with the surrounding walls imitating Ming buildings is inscribed by the famous calligrapher Lu: Anti-Japanese Exhibition Hall, and the couplets on both sides are sealed by the memorial halls of Mr. Wang and Mr. Qi Jiguang in Jiaojiang City: it is the forerunner of the Great Wall in Wan Li, and Fujian and Zhejiang are heroes of the Chinese nation. Inscription by Li Chengchang, Deputy Secretary of Taizhou District Committee; Doors and couplets remember the past, so you don't have to visit Chibi. Who Resists Tao Zhu is written by General Zhang Chongwen. Walking into the exhibition hall, a statue of Qi Jiguang stood face to face, lined with murals in the distant mountains and near the water in the pottery casting city, which was heroic and spirited. The exhibition hall is divided into five rooms, the East Hall is the historical materials of cultural relics, and the city brick, Qi Jiguang monument, saber and Yuanyang array are displayed. The East Second Room is a celebrity painting and calligraphy, which mainly displays the works of famous painters and calligraphers in Taizhou. West Room 1 is a group painting by Qi Jiguang in Taizhou, which systematically and briefly reflects the whole process of Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese war in Taizhou. There are 20 paintings, West Room 2 is the scenery of Tao Zhu, showing the beautiful seaside scenery of Tao Zhu, and there are 43 color expansion paintings.
In the back of the city, the mountain slopes rise like mountains, and cranes often live here, so it is called Crane Ridge. The academy built here is naturally called Hejiao Academy. Hejiang Academy, built in the 15th year of Qing Qianlong, was destroyed by fire in the 25th year of Jiaqing, and was rebuilt by Lang Zhengzhai, a citizen of the city. Now, the ancient maple invades the air, the cypress trees are dense and the ruins are quiet, but the scale of the academy is no longer there. There are many famous modern educators here, and Lin, a consultant of the State Education Commission, studied here. Yang, an outstanding figure in Taizhou during the Revolution of 1911, served as the president of Taizhou Academy. The location here is directly above the Anti-Japanese Exhibition Hall, southeast of Tianfei Palace. This is 1990 written by General Zhang, former deputy director of the Political Department of the Railway Corps.
Tianfei Palace was built in the early years of Ming orthodoxy, and it was built and burned repeatedly. There are three temples facing east and west in Tianfei Palace. Tianfei Palace was located on the top of a cliff in ancient times, facing the vast ocean, which was beneficial to maritime businessmen and fishermen, most of whom came from Fujian. They believed in Tian Fei, the sea god, and prayed for the protection of Tian Fei to avoid the storm. Therefore, Tianfei Palace was originally built by Fujian people. After a lapse of more than 500 years, times have changed, and devout people believe in Tian Fei Ling Wei every day, burning incense at dawn and offering sacrifices at four o'clock, and the incense is flourishing. The stone pillar lantern on the east side of the back wall of Tianfei Palace is 2.8m high, square and 20cm wide. A square stone with a height of 15 cm and a width of 45 cm is installed at the end of the column for placing lamps. The four sides of the stone pillar are carved with Sakyamuni Buddha, Huayan Sutra Buddha, Lotus Huajing Buddha and Huayang Buddha to pray for the Buddha's protection. Because of the long-term wind and rain, the moss turns green and the handwriting is eroded, but it can still be distinguished. According to the cloud, Shizhu Sky Lantern was set up for businessmen and fishermen in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. It lights up at dusk and lights up all night: first, it prompts the location and place name; Second, expose the rocks and pay attention to safety. In front of it is the site of the East Enemy Terrace, which is the commanding height of the pottery casting city, commonly known as Xidi. The enemy station is a watchtower, which can observe the enemy's movements. There are buildings on both the east and west enemy platforms. It is said that Beijing's enemy Taiwan or Qi Jiguang snatched it from Tao Zhu. The ruins of the East Enemy Terrace are towering into the sky, and the surrounding historical sites are panoramic: First, you can see the beacon tower independent of Shangtang Mountain, also known as the beacon tower, which is an ancient war warning facility; Second, overlooking the thirteen islands of Taojiang River, you can see the scenery of the water town where Wulong grabs pearls; Sanneng Jim Jiang Taishan in the northern suburb of Beishan. Looking eastward from Chengtou, Tao Zhu, the towering stone fort, which is independent from the top of Shangtang Mountain, is the beacon tower. Beacon tower, also known as beacon tower, is an alarm facility in ancient wars. Find the enemy coming, burn cigarettes in Sun City, light up at night, and quickly transmit information. There are 7 beacon towers related to Taozhu City, all of which were built in Shangtang in Ming Dynasty to resist Japanese invasion.
At that time, she belonged to the most complete pottery-cast thousand-family residence in existence. It is made of stone, 9 meters wide and 6 meters wide. This is the cliff stone carving site overlooking the distance. Inscription for the Ming and Chu generals Hu Hai, the word ocean, Dingyuan. Hong Wujin attacked Luzhou with General Xu Da. He was brave and good at fighting, covered with golden sores, and made great contributions. It has been described by predecessors that there is a huge stone, such as a plate, on the top of the mountain, supporting Yun Biao. From a virtual point of view, the sea is vast and the sky is low, and the sky is boundless. When the sky is bright, you can see everything for dozens of miles. He also wrote a poem: Things change, the cliff beats Gong Hu. The silver hook iron painting is really beautiful, and I saw it in the past. Located on the west side of Yuan Tiao Cliff, the Monument Pavilion was built at 1986 to protect the monument of "Newly Built Enemy Terrace Monument" in Ming Dynasty. The pavilion is flying in the air on the steep cliff, which is abrupt and ingenious. She is an imitation building with elegant and exquisite structure. In the middle of the pavilion stands a stone tablet with a base of 0.3 1 m, a height of 1.6 m, a width of 0.83 m, and a thickness of 0. 1 1 m, engraved with the inscription of the newly-built enemy platform.
In Wansongjing, southwest of Beiting Pavilion, Zhenhai is a regular script, and there is no inscription next to it, but the font and size are similar to those of Tiaoyuan. According to the calligraphy written by Bao Damou, a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, it is mainly to praise the achievements of General Qi in fighting north and south and destroying the enemy. Predecessors once wrote a poem: Calm the rock edge for a hundred years, and the dragon is like fire. Bao's pens have been there all the time, half of them are covered with moss. There is a 150-year-old couple pine, and two trunks grow on the same foundation on the edge of the city. The branches of the trees are 0.3 meters from the ground, the two trees are more than 20 meters high and the trunk diameter is 0.4 meters. It grows in the shape of a bell, inclines upward, is covered with long forest spots, but is full of fun. The branches and crowns of the two trees are interlaced with each other. The female trunk is leafy and has green needles, and two branches bent like arms grow at the fork of 9 meters, trying to hold the waist of the male tree; The male tree branches at 12 meters, and the branches like long arms extend high to the female tree. You help me help each other and care about each other. From a distance, like a tree, like a pile of green, they are a pair of birthday girls. Ok, now let's look north. This is the former site of Zuo Ying Garrison yamen in Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, green camp was the commander in chief of the army, and he was a five-grade military attache, known as the camp guard. Xianfeng years, the county Zuo Ying garrison yamen caught fire. In the seventh year of Tongzhi, the county magistrate Liu Wangaoqing moved here and allocated funds to build the department. This playground used to be a martial arts playground, but now it has become a township enterprise, where there is a boundary pillar of the playground of Zuo Ying University. Unconsciously, we came to the Hualong Canal. More than 600 years ago, before the wall of Tao Zhu was built, the mountain behind the stream flowed out. After the completion of the city, the stream diverted from the west and crossed the east, just at the foot of the west city. The original bridge was named Hualong Bridge. It is said that there is a huge stone under the bridge, engraved with the word Hua Er, which is a dragon pattern. The stone was buried at the bottom of the canal. In order to solve this eternal mystery, the villagers organized excavation, and sure enough, they found a huge stone with a north-south framework, only three or five feet, with words on it, upright and vigorous, and no inscription next to it. It's really weird. There is also a fairy tale here.
Then, let's visit the old streets and buildings in Tao Zhu. Taozhucheng is a cultural landscape in the Ming Dynasty, with ancient streets and antique buildings. Buildings in the Ming Dynasty are generally simple and elegant, but those behemoths are not elegant and magnificent. The street we are walking on now is Tao Zhu Ancient Street, which still retains the original pattern of ancient streets and lanes in Ming Dynasty. The ancient street runs through the east and west cities, like a slow Youlong shape, passing through the main roadway connecting the yamen and the south gate. At the intersection, the Drum Tower is towering, followed by 10 Gu Xiang, 5 north and 5 south, arranged along the street and crossed. There is an ancient road, which is arc-shaped and surrounds the southeast and the inner side of the west city. There are many ancient buildings in Taozhu City, which are generally simple and generous in Ming Dynasty, but those giant ones are not elegant and magnificent. The well-preserved ancient buildings in the city are Langdefeng, Langjia and Liuzhai.
Lang Defeng's ancient residence was built by the ninth son of Lang, Sun Lang, during the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. The ancient house has 30 buildings and 22 bungalows. The house is divided into east, north and west floors, with a complete quadrangle in the middle, which is very large and covers an area of 3,200 square meters. Langjia Ancient House was built in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty by Lang Gongyi Chang, the eighth descendant of Shi Lang. This old house has two gates, spacious and tall, and an open front hall. The house is in the east, north and west. This complete quadrangle covers an area of 2,500 square meters. The biggest feature of this quadrangle is its simple and solemn architecture, carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and upturned corners, especially the window lattice and wood carvings in Liang Fang. Exquisite carving, especially the woodcut high relief of the corridor stigma, such as Luhuitou, Dragon Walking Lion, Kirin and so on. It seems messy and simple, and there are no door pillows on both sides of the threshold. It is solid, convenient and elegant, which shows its great courage. However, when we look at these ancient buildings today, they all fully show the wisdom and superb skills of the ancient working people.
Liu's ancient house was built by the fifth generation of Liu's descendants in the late Ming Dynasty. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the twelfth generation of Liu Gongzi Han, a descendant of Liu, was admitted to Dongtaimen in Wuju. There is a plaque with the word Wu Kui on it. There are two pillars on each side of the gate and an original flagpole with stars. Liu Guzhai is a three-entrance platform door, which is different from Langzhai. The platform door is open, divided into upper and lower floors, with a hall number inside, a roof in the north and south, a large platform door without an external barrier screen, and a complete four-corner door in the east and west, with an area of 1.800 square meters. This is the building of Amin dynasty. It looks very old. Each pillar is drum-shaped, with stars on the stigma. Wood carvings on beams, window sills and colonnades are exquisitely crafted and carved. The stone carvings on the walls and windows, such as Lang's old house, are dazzling and breathtaking. There is also a slate on the patio floor, which looks like a pattern.
