Historical development

He is the first to make great achievements

In 1906 (the 32nd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu), Zhao Pingfan retired from the post of Dianshi in Maping county. After that, he planted flowers and trees inside and outside liuhou temple to beautify the environment. On the golden autumn day, a chrysanthemum club was set up by the Bank of Luochi. Deng Zihui, President of Qiushi society of Longcheng, a local celebrity, wrote poems and sang at the meeting. The participants advocated that the surrounding area of liuhou temple should be built into a popular garden area for citizens' leisure. Liu people were happy to see it. Zhao Pingfan took his second son to open a flower garden, build a flower path (Guihua Road) and dredge Luochi. He led his two sons to Luochi to pick up mud. Later, he rode or took a sedan chair to Luzhai Zhongdu, Luorong, Liucheng Dongquan and other places on schedule to collect the land rent of liuhou ancestral temple. He was the first to make his contribution.

Liuhou Park in Liuzhou was founded in 1906. In the same year, the parks built in other places included the park attached to Beijing agricultural experimental farm, Shenyang Wanquan Park and Wuxi Chengzhong Park (all of which were the earliest local parks). Shanghai (1868), Tianjin (1887), Qiqihar (1897), Liuzhou (Tianjin, Jinan, Dandong) are relatively early. The earliest Huangpu Park in Guangzhou (1910) is located in South China, central China, Southwest China and Northwest China. Liuhou Park in Liuzhou is the earliest.

In November 1907 (the 33rd year of Guangxu), Yang Daolin, the newly transferred governor of Liuzhou, came to office. In 2005, Yang Daolin went abroad with five ministers (more than half a year), visited nine countries, including Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, and visited parks in Italy, Austria and Japan. When he took office in Liuzhou,

He declared: "the magistrate and the gentry held a meeting to establish liuhou Park as a place for the local people to rest and visit, following the example of Japanese parks." (Yang Daolin was an enlightened faction in the Qing Dynasty at that time. He went abroad to broaden his horizons. Liuzhou has a long history of parks in the whole country. The weather is in line with the world trend. The location is convenient. People and Liuzhou people are not conservative. Yang Daolin put forward eight measures

All of them are used in the park, and the special fund for spring and autumn sacrifice of liuhou temple is kept by the government. They also mobilized officials, gentry, businessmen and civilians to donate money to support the voluntary labor, and the citizens took part in voluntary labor one after another. They also "helped to send bamboo and flower trees in an endless stream." Yang Daolin even selected capable soldiers to assist in the park. It also allocated part of the building materials for the secondary school to be built outside the south wall of Luochi.

Yang Daolin made 14 rules for liuhou Park

The pavilions are shaded with trees, and there are more sitting places for people to have a rest.

In the past 1100 years, Liuzhou people's spring and autumn sacrifice has never been forgotten. (according to Han Yu's words, "I have never been idle in my work, and I have been honored by the world since now.") Luochi was a popular scenic spot in Liu Zongyuan's life. His ministry said that liuhou had a dream and knew that "I was in Luochi." According to this, Liuzhou people built a Luochi Temple next to Luochi, which is now liuhou temple. (the place where the coffin is stopped starts from Yiguan tomb, and a temple is built in front of the tomb). In the garden, there are liuhou Yiguan tomb (died in 819 and built in 820), liuhou Temple (822) and Luochi
