History of scenic spots

Baomo garden was the residence of prime minister Bao in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, later called baomo garden. The original baomo garden has long been destroyed, and the original site has become a folk house. In 1995, thanks to the donation of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and benevolent people from all walks of life, baomo garden was rebuilt. Bao Xiangfu temple was built in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. It is a place to worship Bao Zheng, a famous official of the Northern Song Dynasty and a Bachelor of LongTuge. It is said that one year when the Xijiang River was flooded, a section of black wood drifted to the village. People put it back into the river. However, when the downstream water was large, the wood returned to the village. This happened again and again, and people felt very strange, so they worshipped the black wood.

During the four years of Jiaqing (1799), the imperial court removed the corrupt officials and promoted anti-corruption. As far as the influence is concerned, people naturally hope to get a clean official like Bao Qingtian to govern the officials. He carved the wood into a statue of Bao Qingtian and built his mansion here.

The portrait of Bao Zheng hanging in the middle of baomo hall is by Han yunlang, a famous Chinese painter in Sichuan. Bao Zheng was born in the second year of Xianping (A.D. 999) of emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty and died in the seventh year of laijiayou (A.D. 1062). He was a magistrate in Kaifeng. He was an official to the Privy and Deputy envoy. After his death, he was granted the title of Xiaosu. His official position is equivalent to today's mayor of Beijing. Bao Zheng was incorruptible and devoted himself to redressing unjust and unjust prison cases for the common people, and to rectifying corrupt officials.

The two old elms in front of baomo hall, nearly 100 years old, are giant bonsai full of ancient tree style. Because it is vigorous and upright, and in front of Bao Zheng's statue, it seems to be a guardian of justice, so it is called general Shu.
