Diaoyutai

Thin West Lake Diaoyutai is a famous scenic spot. It faces water on three sides, and only a long dike is connected with XIAOJINSHAN. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of wutingqiao, Fuzhuang, XIAOJINSHAN and Baita, which can be said to be an excellent scenic spot. The couplet of Diaoyutai is written by Mr. Qigong. The first couplet "HAOGE xianglanzhu" comes from Xu Yanbo's poem, and the second couplet "fishing for autumn wind" comes from Du Fu's poem, which is the best collection of sentences. On the isolated lake of Diaoyutai, when the orchid blooms, you come here to sing and sing. When the autumn wind blows over the lake, you fish in peace. The couplet scene is in line with the scenic spot, which is as wonderful as heaven.

Diaoyu Islands

synonym

Diaoyutai (another name for Diaoyu Island) generally refers to Diaoyu Island (the inherent islands in the East China Sea of the people's Republic of China)

Diaoyu Island, also known as Diaoyutai, Diaoyu Island and Diaoyu mountain, is the main island of Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands in the East China Sea, and is China's inherent territory since ancient times. Located at 25 ° 44.6 ′ N and 123 ° 28.4 ′ e, it is about 358 km away from Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, 385 km away from Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, and 190 km away from Keelung City, Taiwan. The surrounding sea area is about 174000 square kilometers.

Diaoyu Island is about 3641 meters long and 1905 meters wide, covering an area of about 3.91 square kilometers, with the highest altitude of about 362 meters. The terrain is relatively flat in the north, steep in the southeast, rather like a minaret in the East, and the central mountain ranges from east to west. Diaoyu Island is rich in Camellia, palm, cactus, hibiscus and other precious Chinese medicinal materials, inhabiting a large number of seabirds, known as "flower and bird island".

When the United States withdrew from Ryukyu in 1972, the "administrative jurisdiction" of the Diaoyu Islands was mixed with Ryukyu, which was "handed over" to Japan. According to ancient Chinese historical records, China has always had territorial rights over the Diaoyu Islands. At present, the Diaoyu Islands and their territorial waters belong to the people's Republic of China, but Japan actually has illegal jurisdiction over the islands. Since September 10, 2012, Chinese government departments have carried out regular surveillance and monitoring on Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands.

China's marine surveillance vessels have been carrying out law enforcement patrol missions in the waters of Diaoyu Dao, and fishery administration law enforcement vessels have been conducting regular law enforcement patrols and fishery protection missions to uphold normal fishing order in the waters of Diaoyu Dao. China has also exercised administration over Diaoyu Dao and the adjacent waters by releasing weather forecasts and through oceanographic monitoring and forecasting.

History of islands and reefs

Ancient ancestors in China first discovered and named Diaoyu Dao through their production and fishery activities on the sea. In ancient Chinese literature, Diaoyu Island is also called Diaoyu Island, Diaoyutai and Diaoyu mountain. At present, the earliest historical record of place names such as Diaoyu Island and chiweiyu island is Shun Feng Xiang song, which was written in 1403 (the first year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty).

In 1171 (the seventh year of Qiandao reign in the Southern Song Dynasty), Wang Dayou, a general guarding Fujian Province, set up a military camp in Penghu and sent his generals to garrison the islands. Taiwan and its affiliated islands, including Diaoyu Islands, were under the jurisdiction of Penghu militarily and Jinjiang, Quanzhou, Fujian administratively.

In 1372 (the fifth year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty), Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to Ryukyu, and the king of Ryukyu paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. In 1866 (the fifth year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty), the imperial court of the Ming and Qing Dynasties sent envoys to Ryukyu for 24 times to confer the title. Diaoyu Island was the place where the envoys went to Ryukyu. A large number of records about Diaoyu Island appeared in the reports written by Chinese envoys.

In 1532, Chen Kan of Ming Dynasty called Diaoyu Island "Diaoyu Island", which was already in China's waters.

In 1561 (the 40th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), Hu Zongxian, the supreme General of the Ming Dynasty stationed in the southeast coast, presided over and Zheng ruozeng compiled the book "planning sea map", which clearly included Diaoyu Islands and other islands in the "coastal mountain sand map" and included them in the coastal defense scope of the Ming Dynasty.

In 1605 (the 33rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), Xu Bida and others drew the complete map of the unification of heaven and earth in coastal defense, and in 1621 (the first year of Qiyuan in the Ming Dynasty), Mao Yuanyi drew the map of China's coastal defense, which also included Diaoyu Islands and other islands in China's coastal areas.

The Qing Dynasty not only followed the practice of the Ming Dynasty, continued to include the Diaoyu Islands and other islands in the scope of China's coastal defense, and explicitly placed them under the administrative jurisdiction of the local government of Taiwan. The Qing Dynasty official documents such as "Taiwan official records" and "Taiwan envoys' records" compiled by Huang Shuli recorded in detail the jurisdiction over Diaoyu Islands.

In 1708, the Ryukyu scholar Cheng shunze clearly recorded Diaoyutai, huangweiyu and chiweiyu in his guide to the broad sense, and called Kumi mountain (Kumi Island) as "shangzhenshan in the southwest of Ryukyu.".

In 1719, Xu Baoguang, the Qing Dynasty's envoy to Ryukyu, pointed out in his biography of Zhongshan that his sea route was: from Min'an town to wuhumen, take chicken cage head, pass through fanhuayu, pengjiashan, Diaoyutai, huangweiyu and chiweiyu, take gumishan and Majia Island, and enter Ryukyu NABA port.

In 1762, the Portuguese's "navigation map" clearly indicated that Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands belonged to Taiwan.

In 1786, Lin Ziping, a Japanese fan of Sendai, made the complete map of Ryukyu state in the map of Three Kingdoms, which listed the Diaoyu Islands and indicated that it was the route from China to Ryukyu.

The Map of East China Sea Littoral States created by the French cartographer Pierre Lapie and others in 1809 colored Diaoyu Dao, Huangwei Yu, Chiwei Yu and the Taiwan Island as the same.

In 1816, London published the navigation guide for East India, China, Australia and other places, which clearly recorded the islands affiliated to Taiwan and indicated the longitude and latitude of each island, including the Diaoyu Islands.

In 1871 (the tenth year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty), Volume 86 of redrafting general records of Fujian compiled by Chen Shouqi et al. Put Diaoyu Island under the jurisdiction of garmalan Department of Taiwan government (now Ilan County, Taiwan Province).

In 1872, Zhou Maoqi described the Diaoyu Islands in his book the whole Taiwan map.

In 1884, Fukuoka native Koga chenshiro claimed to "discover" the Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands, and applied to the Japanese Ministry of interior to be included in Japan's national boundaries. Japanese Minister of interior Youpeng Yamaguchi wrote to Foreign Minister Shinzo Inoue on this matter. "This island is close to the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Compared with Dadong Island, which has been surveyed before, it has a very small area, and the Qing Dynasty has ordered its name," she wrote in 1885 In response to Inoue's suggestion, Yamamoto wrote to Okinawa, refusing to immediately establish a national standard on the Diaoyu Islands. In the letter, Yamamoto stressed that the incident "should not be made known to the media.".

After the outbreak of the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan took advantage of the opportunity of the war to "incorporate" the Diaoyu Island and Huangwei island into Okinawa county.

On January 14, 1895, the Japanese cabinet secretly passed a resolution to "incorporate" the Diaoyu Islands under the jurisdiction of Okinawa Prefecture.

On April 17, 1895, the Qing government was defeated in the Sino Japanese War of 1895, and was forced to sign the unequal treaty of Shimonoseki with Japan, ceding "the whole island of Taiwan and all its affiliated islands". The Diaoyu Dao Islands were ceded to Japan as "islands appertaining or belonging to the said island of Formosa".

On June 10, 1895, Koga chenshiro submitted to the Japanese Ministry of interior the "official land to borrow the imperial wish", namely "lease application".

In September 1896, the Japanese government agreed to lease the so-called "yudiao island" and "Jiuchang island" (i.e., Diaoyu Island and Huangwei Island) free of charge to Koga chenshiro for 30 years.

In 1900, heiyanheng, who was appointed as a teacher of Okinawa normal school, was inspired by the fact that the British called the island "Pinnacle islands", and changed the name of Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands to "Senkaku Islands".

In 1941, there was a lawsuit between "Taipei state" and Okinawa County under the Japanese puppet rule over the fishing grounds of the Diaoyu Islands. The Japanese court ruled that these islands were under the jurisdiction of "Taipei state".

On December 1, 1943, China, the United States and Britain issued the Cairo Declaration, insisting on Japan's unconditional surrender and depriving Japan of all the islands occupied in the Pacific Ocean since the "First World War" in 1914, and stipulating that "the territory stolen by Japan from China, such as the four northeast provinces, Taiwan and Penghu Islands, shall be returned to the Republic of China.". Other lands seized by Japan through force or greed must also be expelled from Japan. ".

On October 25, 1945, the surrender ceremony of Taiwan Province of China's war zone to Japan was held at the Taipei assembly hall. The letter of surrender was signed and sealed by Japanese commander of the tenth front army and governor of Taiwan, Ando riji. Taiwan and its affiliated islands, including Diaoyu Islands, which were occupied by Japan for half a century, returned to China.

On September 8, 1951, the United States and other countries signed the San Francisco Peace Treaty with Japan. When the U.S. military took over the Ryukyu Islands, the Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islands were included in the jurisdiction of the U.S. people's Government of the Ryukyu Islands. On this basis, Japan forcibly declared that the Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islands belonged to the scope of the Ryukyu Islands, which was Japan's so-called "effective control" territory.

On December 25, 1953, david.a.d.ogden, deputy civil affairs officer of the U.S. civil administration and major general of the U.S. Army in the Ryukyu Islands, issued "Order No. 27", which is a notice on "the geographical boundaries of the Ryukyu Islands". The Diaoyu Islands are classified into Ryukyu Islands according to the geographical boundaries of six longitude and latitude points. The document arbitrarily expanded the scope of Trusteeship of the United States and illegally listed the Diaoyu Islands
