The origin of the name

In the reign of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Li Cheng, a Datong man, made the order of Shenze. In 1562, he built an earthen platform in the middle of the north city wall. It was built in a few months. Because it was located in the north of the city, it could also view the North Pole and the East and West, so it was called the north pole platform.

Historical evolution

By the sixth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1801), the Arctic platform had lasted 240 years, during which the wind and rain, floods and erosion, the platform was mostly damaged. At that time, Xiao Sishui, the county magistrate, ordered the northern platform to be renovated, replacing the original earth steps with stone steps. There were three groups of 45 levels in total. The layers were stacked up, and the view was very great.

The seventh year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1857). Xu Zhong, the county magistrate, saw that most of the civil buildings on the platform were dilapidated and lacquered, so he proposed to rebuild the north pole platform. All the doors, windows, rafters and columns were painted with red paint. At the same time, he opened a corridor in front of the platform, which led directly to the inner street of the city, and set up four archways along the corridor. The archways were divided into "Taihe Wonderland", "Zhishi xuanyue", "Beiyue Youzhan" and "Xuanwu town". The four archways were connected in North and south It is a trend that the buildings above and below echo and set off. In the middle of the corridor in front of the stage, there is a pond, with canals on both sides. On both sides of the canal, there are flower masts and vermilion bars on the wings, and there are 350 willows around the canal. When the stage is on and off, it will win more and more. On the night of March and may, the moon will shine on each other. It's even more popular. Thus, it became the best scenery in Shenze - "Liuyue in Beitai".

In the 11th year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1861), it was reorganized again in Beitai. Remove the withered willows and plant new trees, and plant peaches and plums in them, then dredge the canals, add wooden bridges across the canals, add small bridges and flowing water among the sparse branches and moon shadows, and become a unique place of the city. This kind of landscape of the Arctic platform has been largely preserved so far, so the viewers have not declined for years.

It was destroyed in the hands of the enemy during the Anti Japanese War, and then rebuilt as it was. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was repaired many times. Now the north pole platform is set up as a memorial hall for the martyrs in Shenze county.

legend

The legend of Shenze city and Arctic platform

It is said that Genghis Khan, Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, was very worried about where to build his capital. Later, he sent two ministers to deal with the matter separately. Coincidentally, the two ministers chose Shenze as the geomantic omen treasure. They also explained in their memorials that in the future, the number of officials in Shenze would help the royal family. According to legend, the emperor was very happy Said: two love Qing, hard work, please listen to my reward Just at this time, a group of ministers came out of the class and went to the imperial court, saying: long live the emperor, long live the emperor, we must not believe their nonsense and cheat the emperor. You said that in the future, there will be a number of officers in the capital, who can be a servant? Is it not to form a clique for personal gain, the future of Taizu Before he could finish speaking, Taizu was furious. He wanted to help the royal family by rebelling against the local party. In the future, it would be hard to protect my country. With a wave of the imperial pen, the memorial was abandoned, and they were killed for plotting against the imperial court. Therefore, the capital moved 500 Li to the north.

But he said that the imperial city had not been built in Shenze. Taizu was not at ease. He ordered the treacherous minister to build a city in Shenze instead of leaving the north gate. At the place where the north gate was revised, he dug earth to build a high platform, which was called the north pole platform. Because it is said that the imperial court is the son of heaven, the north pole star, and the center of the world. The purpose of building the north pole platform is to show the majesty of the son of heaven, and to fear that the geomantic omen will follow the trend again From the north gate into Kyoto, known as the Arctic, this stop.

In addition, many years after the completion of the Arctic platform, Zhenwu temple was built on the platform, and a stranger passed by. He was surprised that there must be three treasures under the platform: Jinniu, Jinma and Jinji. One day, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, he took care of four people. In the middle of the night, there was one person standing at each corner of the city. He himself stood in front of the main gate of the north pole platform. This kind of formation was called qianjincheng. When he recited the mantra, the north pole platform was really suspended. The Taurus, golden horse and Golden Rooster under the platform wanted to drink water. The Taurus and golden horse were led by the man and were about to reach out to catch the golden rooster, The old abbot in Zhenwu Temple found that someone had stolen the treasure and cried out: no! The Arctic platform fell to the ground with a thump, which made the outsider run away with Taurus and duo Ma Liangbao. If he stamped his foot in front of the Arctic platform door, there would be the chirp and chirp of the golden rooster.

Legend of the Arctic platform

In the last years of Yongzheng reign of Qing Dynasty, the emperor was fatuous and the treacherous officials were in charge. Liu county magistrate of Shenze County, who levied exorbitant taxes and collected exorbitant levies, all the petty officials under his command also resorted to extortion and oppressed the people everywhere. These people worked in collusion and plundered the whole Shenze county. Liu county magistrate knew in his heart that he had done too much evil and would be punished sooner or later, so he went around to seek the way to ascend to heaven. Soon the people under his command invited a Taoist who had been practising for many years. This Taoist has great ability, but his mind is too bad. He said to the magistrate of Liu County, "benefactor Liu, if you want to ascend to heaven, you must first build a shrine." The county magistrate nodded frequently, so he took all the men in the county to build the roof lifting platform, and collected "Heaven lifting tax" from each household. Every grain of food left in the people's homes has been taken away, and even things like tables and chairs have been expropriated. The people are living like years and complaining.

When the ascending platform was built, the magistrate of Liu County asked the demon, "Taoist, is it possible to ascend to heaven?"? The demon said, "benefactor Liu, if you want to ascend to heaven, you need a hundred children's hearts to sacrifice to God." Liu county magistrate a listen, can't help laughing: "this is not easy?" Then he ordered: "listen, yamen servants, you are limited to three days to catch one hundred children and obey their orders." In two days, they gathered 100 children and locked them up on the roof, ready to dig their hearts for the gods tomorrow afternoon.

Night came quietly, people gathered together, at a loss. When everyone was anxious, someone suddenly cried out, "look, the North Star has fallen." Everyone looked up and saw a star flying here. With a golden light, the star disappeared. An old man with white beard was standing in the middle of the immortals. Everyone knelt down: "God of mercy! Our son has been arrested. You can find a way to save them The old fairy waved his hand, waiting for the people to calm down. "I'm here to save you," he said With one hand, a rooster slowly stood up, with a pair of wings harder than an eagle, and a golden light all over his body. "This is a pheasant, which can eradicate demons and corrupt officials. You should release it when they worship gods. "With that, the old fairy turned around and disappeared.

At noon the next day, people were all under the platform, and the demon road accompanied Liu county magistrate to the platform. As soon as the demon way raised his sword to kill the children, the common people under the stage released the pheasant. That day, as soon as the pheasant spread its wings and flew to the stage, the demon way pointed the sword at the pheasant and recited a mantra in his mouth. Suddenly, the wind roared and the sand and stones were stirred into darkness. That day, the chicken was not afraid, in the strong wind, the wind stopped immediately, the sand and stone were gone. One hundred children were pushed out and ran around on the stage to stop the pheasant. He grabbed one and threw it at the pheasant. When the pheasant saw it and spread his wings to save the child, he raised the sword again. The sword was as fast as a meteor and "Shua" penetrated the pheasant. That day, the chicken struggled to turn over three times in the air, then "suddenly" began to fly and dashed down,
