Development history

The site of Tongzhou museum is a cultural relic protection unit in Tongzhou District. In the Qing Dynasty, the Sanguan temple was built here, which was built in 1673. It was dedicated to the gods such as Tianguan, who were granted good fortune and longevity, diguan, who were forgiven evil, and Shuiguan, who were relieved of adversity. In 1923, Tongzhou branch of Beijing World moral association established an antique activity place on the ruins of Sanguan temple, with the logo of "" character. Therefore, this character was carved on the long head of the hall, front hall and back hall, commonly known as "Wanzi Huiyuan". In December 1935, the traitor Yin rugeng established the puppet Jidong anti Communist autonomous government and became the puppet of Japanese invaders. TongZhou "Wanzi Association" gradually became the base of traitors' activities. In 1964, it was renovated and changed to "Dongyi Hotel", which was soon closed. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, it was used by the County Bureau of veteran cadres. In 1991, it was rebuilt as TongZhou Museum
