Babaoshan, located in the east of Shijingshan District, is an isolated remnant hill on the piedmont plain of Xishan Mountain, named after the building material "Babao".
The so-called eight treasures refer to eight kinds of clay minerals: Maya stone, chalk, celadon, red soil, crucible, yellow mud, slate and sandstone. Maytag, also known as calcite, is mainly composed of calcite, and it is also the earliest mineral recognized and utilized by human beings. Chalk, commonly known as clay or white, is white and soft. It is a kind of limestone, which is widely distributed. Blue ash, a kind of graphite with impurities, is blue-black, which is often used to paint external walls or lining stoves, and can also be used as pigments; Red soil is a good natural foundation and dam building material; Crucible soil, also known as refractory soil, cavity?

There is also an interesting local legend about the origin of Babaoshan: it is said that there are eight treasures hidden in the cave at the foot of Babaoshan: golden bull, golden horse, golden rooster, golden roller, golden mill, golden bean, golden dustpan and golden basket. A long time ago, there was an old man and an old woman named Li. They have no children and daughters, so they can only make a living by growing loofah. One year, a loofah was planted in their yard. Strangely, no matter how watered and fertilized, no melon could be produced. It's just that the seedlings grow bigger and bigger, and finally a flower blooms, but the towel gourd grows thick and thin, like an upside-down gourd. One day, the old couple enjoyed the cool at the door and saw a gentleman coming from the south. When I arrived at their house, I saw that the loofah suddenly stopped. I saw him look at the mountain for a while, and then at the loofah on the melon rack. After counting with his fingers for a long time, he rushed to the old couple.
The gentleman approached, bowed to the old couple and offered to buy the only loofah on the shelf. The old couple said no at first, because this loofah was reserved for next year. But Mr. Wang insisted on buying it. He told the old couple that he bought melons for dispensing medicine to treat patients. When the old couple heard that it was to cure the disease, they agreed, but refused to accept the money. When Mr. Wang left, he told them, "This melon is not ripe, so you can't pick it. I will come naturally when I am ripe. "
In fact, this gentleman is not using melons to treat diseases, but is looking for treasures. He counted the treasures buried at the foot of the mountain, but he needed the key to the mountain to get it. When he saw this loofah, he knew it was the key to the mountain, so he lied to the old couple and wanted it.
After Mr. Wang left, the old couple took good care of the loofah, but the weather was abnormal this autumn, and it began to frost after beginning of autumn. Afraid of freezing the loofah, they picked it in advance and put it in a wooden box, waiting for Mr. Wang to give it to him.
On the evening of the eighth day of September, Mr. Wang really came. Seeing the loofah picked by the old couple in advance, he stamped his foot and said, "It's broken. I picked it early and it doesn't work well." I had to take the loofah with a sigh. The old couple don't know what happened. They felt very strange, so they followed him to the foot of the mountain to see what he wanted to do.
I saw Mr. Feng Shui come to this hillside and drew a circle on the ground with a melon. A door immediately appeared on the hillside, but only a small crack was opened. When the old couple saw it, it was full of treasures, including golden bull, golden horse and golden rooster, as well as a gold basket and dustpan. There is a golden roller turning by the door, and all the beans fall off the roller. I only heard Mr. Feng Shui say to himself, "If I hadn't picked it early, I could still go in!" " "He reached in and took the gold dustpan first, but the door was too small to take it out. Then the golden rooster crowed, and Mr. Feng Shui said, "No!" Hurriedly threw a golden dustpan and grabbed a handful of golden beans. Just as he was about to take it out, the old man hit him on the arm, and when his hand shrank, all the golden beans fell into the hole and the door was closed. Knowing that he was indefensible, Mr. Feng Shui quietly left. From then on, people knew that there were eight treasures buried under this mountain, so they called it Babaoshan.
In fact, Babaoshan, formerly known as Montenegro, is mainly composed of two peaks, east and west, with the highest elevation of 103 meters, which is the mound in front of the western hills. The whole Shandong is about 1.2km long in the west and 0.6km wide in the north and south. There are many historical sites in Babaoshan. In the Ming Dynasty, there were yanshou temple, Fu Ling Temple and Chaoyang Temple, and there was Niangniang Temple on Xifeng, the most famous of which was Baozhong Huguo Temple. Baozhong Huguo Temple, also known as Montenegro Huguo Temple, was built in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty to commemorate the famous soldier Gang Bing. There is a tomb of Gangbing in the temple, with only tombstones and stone turtles left in front of it. During the Japanese invasion of China, the invading army built a loyalty tower on the mountain to commemorate the Japanese soldiers who died in battle, and it was converted into a martyrs' shrine on 1946 to commemorate the Kuomintang soldiers who died in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, including 38 generals including Zhang Zizhong, Tong and Zhao. After the founding of New China, Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, Babaoshan Second Cemetery and Beijing Western Suburb Funeral Parlour were successively built on the mountain.
Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, located at the southern foot of Babaoshan, covers an area of 1.50 mu. It was the former site of Fu Ling Temple in Yuan Dynasty, renamed Baozhong Huguo Temple in Ming Dynasty, converted into a revolutionary cemetery in 1.950, and renamed Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in 1.970. The cemetery is divided into two parts: the cinerary hall and the tomb area, with the cinerary hall in the center, which was reconstructed from the first and second halls and the attached halls of the original Baozhong Huguo Temple 1958. It is divided into eleven rooms. The first room contains the ashes of proletarian revolutionaries and scientists of the older generation, such as Zhu De and Dong. The cemetery is planted with pine and cypress, which is solemn and solemn. 1984 was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Beijing.
