Huihui ancient city

Huihui ancient city

Juanhui is the place where the Treaty of juanhui between China and Russia was signed. The earliest Huihui was built in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. In order to meet the needs of the struggle against the remnant forces of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yongle built a Huihui city on the left bank of Heilongjiang Province, at the downstream of the confluence of jingqili River and Heilongjiang Province, that is, the area of weixiaoleyi village in Russia today.

brief introduction

In the area of weixiaoleyi village, a Huicheng was built.

The name of Huihui comes from the nearby Huihui river. There are also many appellations of "Aihui", "Aihu", "Aihu" and "Aihu", all of which are translated by Daur phonetics. Translated into Chinese, it means "formidable".

history

In the Qing Dynasty, Huihui became the first Heilongjiang general sabusu's residence. Due to its location in Jiangdong, it is quite inconvenient to communicate with the mainland. In 1685, the Qing government agreed to move the general's residence from the left bank of the river to the right bank of the river, which is the location of today's Fuhui city. The city village was rebuilt and its name is still Fuhui. This is the ancient city of Huihui.

Jihui City, surrounded by Chongling and Dajiang, was the largest town along the Heilongjiang River at that time. According to the records of Shengjing Tongzhi, the internal and external buildings of the newly built city are as follows: the inner city is built with pine as the wall, the middle is solid with soil, the height is one Zhang and eight feet, the surrounding area is 130 steps, and the gate is four; the Southwest and north sides are built with wood as the outline, the south gate, the northwest gate, the southeast facing the river, and the surrounding area is ten li. "

The North-South street running through the outer city is the business district of Huihui new town. For this street, Russian mark has a vivid description in Heilongjiang travels. "When we walked out of the gate of the fortress, a quite long and wide street immediately opened up. The street extended parallel to the river bank. There were many alleys and other streets on both sides of the street. Almost every house on the street side was a shop. Every shop had colorful signs in Chinese and Manchu, and on the wooden poles were various kinds of paper-cut furniture," he said What kind of graphics, pennants and dragons, all of which make the streets look very strange. "

periphery

The newly built city also built many temples, such as Town God's Temple, Dragon King Temple, Confucious'temple, Zhenwu temple, Guan Yu Temple, big Buddha Temple and Kui Xing Ge.

Historical legend

Huicheng is a city with outstanding people and nine generals. There is also a moving legend about these nine generals. It is said that when the city was built, a Fengshui gentleman came here. Seeing the beautiful scenery here, the straight river and the shining mirror in the bright sun, he tells people that Huihui is a treasure land and ten generals will come out of the Ten Mile River. However, a tower must be built to control Fengshui here. People follow Mr. Feng Shui's advice. Unexpectedly, when digging the foundation of the tower, a butterfly suddenly flew out of the ground. After hearing the news, Mr. Feng Shui sighed repeatedly: Feng Shui is broken, there are no more than ten generals, only nine generals.

The steles of the nine generals were erected in the pine forest in the south of the city. The inscriptions on each stele were in Han and Manchu characters. It is a pity that these valuable cultural relics were artificially destroyed in the turbulent years, leaving little trace.

However, it was not the butterfly that finally destroyed fengshui, but the Russian invaders.

On August 3, 1900, the Tsarist Russian invading forces attacked the city from the south, the north and the East. Under the leadership of Feng Xiang, the leader of the north wing of the vice capital Tong Road, the army and the people of the city wrote a magnificent chapter in fighting against the tsarist Russia with their blood and life. Finally, the city was lost because of being outnumbered. The Tsarist Russian invaders torched this ancient city with a history of more than 200 years, and only one Kuixing Pavilion survived.

Kuixing Pavilion in Huihui

According to the research of experts and scholars, Kuixing Pavilion in Huihui was built in the 18th to 26th years of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty, namely 1892-1900. Kuixing Pavilion is described in the survey of counties and cities in the great geographical dictionary of China in the archives of Huihui County Office of the Republic of China as follows: "there is a Kuixing tower in the east corner of the city, which is more than three Zhang high. It is all made of brick and wood, with a statue of Kuixing on it. You can see it from the tower overlooking the city. During the gengzi rebellion, the whole city was burned down. However, this building is still standing alone, which can be regarded as one of the historic sites. "

Kuixing pavilion has always been the best place for people to climb high and look far. On the top of the pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the ancient city and the ten li river. However, when we see that the vast fertile land in Jiangdong does not belong to the Chinese nation, we can imagine our feelings.

Kuixingge also had a history of forbidding visitors to climb up to watch. From 1933 to 1939, the puppet Manchu army mixed into the 18th infantry regiment of the 15th brigade. In 1944, when Kuixing pavilion was used as a guard tower by the Fuhui garrison of the puppet Manchu army, it became a military important place. Of course, visitors should avoid it.

Kuixing Pavilion in Huihui has been built for more than a hundred years. It has gone through many vicissitudes and suffered many misfortunes. In 1900, the Tsarist Russian invaders torched the ancient city of Huihui, turning the whole city into ruins, but Kuixing Pavilion miraculously survived. 45 years later, in August 1945, the artillery fire of the Soviet Red Army hit it, causing the top of the pavilion to collapse. In 1950, local residents demolished the scarred Kuixing Pavilion, leaving only the long cornerstone. In June 1975, when the construction of Huihui historical exhibition hall was started, the sign of "kuixinglou site" was put up.

As Kuixing Pavilion is a precious cultural relic of the Chinese nation, it not only witnessed the humiliation of the Chinese nation, but also recorded the heroic deeds of the Chinese army and people. For this reason, the original county Party committee and county government of Huihui made the decision of rebuilding Kuixing Pavilion in 1980, which was actively supported by Heilongjiang provincial Party committee and government. In July of the same year, the reconstruction project officially started. The construction drawings are based on an old photo of Kuixing Pavilion in Huihui collected by Comrade Tao maopu, who was then Minister of the people's Armed Forces Department of Nenjiang County.

The reconstruction project lasted three years. On July 16, 1983, the CPC Heihe Municipal Committee and government held a ceremony for the completion of Kuixing Pavilion. Chen Lei, former governor of Heilongjiang Province, inscribed a three character plaque for Kuixing Pavilion. A year later, Wang Weide, an individual sculptor from Sunke, carved a lifelike Kuixing statue for Kuixing Pavilion, marking the end of the restoration project.

After reconstruction, the Kuixing Pavilion is 16 meters high and 8 meters at the bottom. The building is simple and magnificent. In the second half of 2002, due to the discordance between Kuixing Pavilion and the new museum of Huihui Historical Museum, it was rebuilt.

In the spring of 1906, Heilongjiang general Cheng Dequan sent vice governor Yao Fusheng to take over Huihui. After Yao Fusheng took office, he visited the villagers, provided relief to the people, and then went to hailanpao (now bulagovishensk) to negotiate with the tsarist Russia. Finally, he forced the Russian army to withdraw from Huihui in May 1907.

After the recovery of Huihui, Yao Fusheng personally led the members of the aftermath division to carry out exploration and rebuild the new city of Huihui on a piece of rubble.

There is a city gate in the southeast and northwest of Town God's Temple. There is a building outside the South Gate of the city. A bell tower is built in the middle of the cross street in the city. Except for the Yamen office, the Town God's Temple and the Confucious'temple, the rest are residential buildings. In the east of the city, Liuma Street base is near the river, and both sides of nannanmenwai Street are trading areas.

The history of the change of the ancient city of Huihui always warns the posterity that backwardness is bound to be beaten, and prosperity is the only way to protect the country.
