The origin of jingshan mountain

The origin of Jingshan in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a small mound called Qingshan, which belonged to the inner backyard of the Yuan Dynasty.

When the Forbidden City was built in Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, coal was piled here, so it was also called Jingshan Park. Because its location is just on the central axis of the whole city, and it is also the barrier to the north of the palace, Feng Shui warlocks call it "Zhenshan". During the Ming and Qing dynasties, many fruit trees were planted in the garden, and animals such as deer and cranes were raised, so this mountain was once called Baiguoyuan, and this mountain was once called Long Live Mountain.

1, historical development:

In ancient times, Jingshan and Beihai were the old roads of Yongding River. Jingshan is located in a high-lying river, and the Yongding River gradually turned into a mound after its diversion. When Yao Yu Palace (now Qionghua Island in Beihai Park) was built in Liao Dynasty, the residual soil accumulated here.

In the 19th year of Dading in the Jin Dynasty, Jin Zhangzong built Taining Palace on the south side of the area, chiseled through Xihuatan (now Beihai), piled up hills here, and built a royal garden, which was called Beiyuan in history. Surrounded by mountains and double walls, Eta Ursae Majoris Tower is built on the mountain, which is known as one of the twelve scenic spots in Jinzhongdu.

2, yee watchtower:

Qiwanglou is located in the south gate, built on the mountain, with three pavilions and exquisite architecture. This was originally the place where Confucius memorial tablet was enshrined when he was an official in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. On the southeast side of the building is the Eight Banners Children's School in the Qing Dynasty, which is gone now.

3. Five pavilions on the ridge:

Jingshan consists of five peaks, 43 meters high, which is the commanding height of old Beijing. There are climbs on the east, west and north sides. Five pavilions at the top of the mountain were built in the 15th year of Qing Qianlong (1750), with beautiful shapes and spectacular scenery. Wanchunge, which lives in Zhongfeng, is a square, triple-eaved, four-pointed yellow glazed tile pavilion with great momentum.
