Mount Xiema

Xiema mountain is a barren mountain in taipingling Manchu Township, Zhuanghe City, Dalian. The so-called barren mountain means that it has not been developed into a tourist attraction. Just because it has not been developed, the local people are very simple and hospitable. Xiema mountain is magnificent and precipitous. It is characterized by huge and rough stones, and there are many simple stones.

geographical environment

Xiema mountain is less than ten miles in circumference. The main peak is about 700 meters above sea level. The east slope is gentle, while the west slope is gentle

It is a good place to garrison troops. And the scenery here is even more fascinating, unique.

Around the hillside, there is a hill like a helmet beside mount HEMA, so it is called mount helmets. The hill is not big, but the top is very steep. There is a cave on the top of the mountain called fox cave, which is very deep. It is said that it can lead to the immortal cave in bingyugou.

Mount Xiema is also a famous mountain in Zhuanghe. It is not only because of Sun Huifen's Xiema villa, Xiema apricot. It is one of the most common hills in southern Liaoning. However, it is such a small mountain. Surrounding its historical legend, the scenery and human relationship around it, it has concentrated the characteristics of southern Liaoning and become a village with strong regional characteristics.

There is a scenery on Mount Xiema - toad stone. At the bottom of the mountain, it looks like a toad resting on the top of the mountain. To the north, there is a scenery - Sidao lake. At the top of the mountain, four puddles are filled with water all the year round, flowing down to form a small waterfall. The bottom of the waterfall can swim. This scenery is formed at the top of the mountain, so it is very wonderful.

Historical features

Xiema mountain is named after the legend of Tang Dynasty general Xue Lizheng stopping here when he was in the East. This is evidenced by the horseshoe seal on the boulder on the top of the mountain. It is natural that the village at the foot of Xiema mountain is called Xiema village. The native red apricot in Xiema village also has a common name Xiema apricot, just like the farm children here.

In the valley at the foot of the mountain, trees cover the sky. Most of them are larch, half a meter thick and more than ten meters high. The old people here said that it was planted by Japan in the puppet Manchuria state for more than 60 years. But for the victory of the Anti Japanese War, these trees would have been cut down by the Japanese. Behind the pine forest, there used to be a stone Buddha Temple, but now there are only ruins.

The two hundred year old Xiema apricots in front of the stone Buddha Temple are still full of vitality, and each tree bears more than a thousand kilograms of fruit every year. At the foot of Xiema mountain, another ancient temple built in the Jin Dynasty, like the stone Buddha Temple, only a few Buddha statues and some broken bricks and tiles were left. However, it is gratifying that with the development of Mount HEMA, the two temples here will return to their former glory.

There is no textual research on the allusions of Xiema mountain, but the history of Xiema village is well documented. Xiema village is located more than 20 kilometers north of Zhuanghe City. More than 2400 villagers, 80% of whom are Manchu. Speaking of the history of Xiema village, old man Li Deren is very rare. It is said that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, in order to expand the territory and reward meritorious officials, their ancestors moved here from the foot of Changbai Mountain.

Yu Zhongrun, Secretary of the general Party branch of the village, remembers more clearly that it has been ten generations since his ancestors moved here. The Manchu ancestors may be intoxicated by the legend of Xiema mountain or attracted by the sweet spring at the foot of the mountain. After 400 years of guarding this land, the residents of the small village snowballed from more than a dozen households to more than 700 households.

Four hundred years of ups and downs have smoothed the differences in the customs and habits of the Manchu and Han nationalities in Xiema village. However, as long as we carefully understand them, we can still find the little differences: the Han people in the village worship their ancestors during the Spring Festival, while the custom of the Manchu people is to worship their benefactor; the guga made of pig bones used to be a favorite toy for children here. Even the Manchu shadow play, which is on the verge of extinction, can be found here.

What makes the people of Xiema village most proud is the guanjiangtai on the mountain. According to the old people, during the anti landing exercise on Liaodong Peninsula held by the PLA, Peng Dehuai, he long, Nie Rongzhen and other senior commanders climbed Mount Xiema in admiration. They stood on this high platform, overlooking the terrain, and made the decision to build national defense fortifications here. As a result, permanent military fortifications extending in all directions were built on the ancient mount HEMA in the hinterland of the mountain.

Mount Xiema

There is a Xiema mountain in Zhuanghe. The Xiema mountain is less than ten miles in circumference. The main peak is about 700 meters above sea level. The east slope is gentle, while the west slope is dangerous. One man is in charge of the pass and ten thousand people are not allowed to open it. The main peak has an area of about 10 square meters, with a footprint and a horseshoe. This is the legend of the Tang Dynasty general Xue Li Zheng East in this stop horse left.

In the first year of Emperor Gaozong's reign in the Tang Dynasty (666 AD), Gaoli Mo Li Zhi Gai Su Wen died. His eldest son, Nan Jian, succeeded him. His second son, Nan Jian, launched a coup and seized power. The boy fled to the inner city of Baoguo (Ji'an, Jilin Province today). On the one hand, he resisted the city, and on the other hand, he sent his son to the Tang Dynasty for help.

After receiving the report, Tang Gaozong agreed to his request and immediately sent troops to help the boys. At the end of the same year, in order to take this opportunity to destroy Korea, Emperor Gaozong appointed Li Chu (Li Ji), the British Duke, as the general manager of Liaodong daohang army, and Xue Rengui as general zuowuwei to lead the waterway army to attack Korea.

Li Chu led his army to take 16 small cities in Eastern Liaoning (at that time, most of the residents in Liaoning and Jilin were Xians) and marched to Jinshan. At this time, Nan Jian also gathered all the Korean soldiers to fight. The two armies met in Jinshan and were ready to fight.

One morning in the early spring of the second year of Qianfeng, the two sides launched a fierce battle. At the beginning, the two sides were evenly matched, and the battle was very difficult. At the critical moment, a strange army led by Xue Rengui attacked the Gaoli army from the flank and broke the enemy into two sections. The Tang army rallied and defeated the enemy. Nearly 50000 Gaoli soldiers were annihilated, and the remaining men fled. Then, led by Li, Xue and other generals, the Tang army continued to advance. After several battles, it encircled the city of Pyongyang in August 668. After a month's siege, the Tang army occupied Pyongyang, and Nan Jian attempted suicide and was captured.

After 25 years of expedition, the Tang Dynasty finally destroyed Korea. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty set up an Dong Du Fu in Pyongyang, which was divided into five ministries, 170 cities, nine Du Fu and 42 prefectures. He ordered Xue Rengui to be the commander and commander of youwuwei's general, Anton Duhu, and led 20000 troops to guard. This is the famous Xue Li Zheng Dong
