historical origin

The former site of Shengli hall in Kunming, Yunnan Province was the official residence of Mu family, the Duke of Guizhou in Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, although there was a governor in Yunnan, the local chieftains only obeyed the Mu family, and all the orders came from the Mu family. There is a corridor in front of the government house, which is today's corridor street. The cross street is the Yuanmen gate, and there are two Yuanmen in the East and West. Each corridor has 36 residences. The children of 72 chieftains in Yunnan Province are on duty, which is actually the temporary residence of the hostages.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, after the rebellion of Wu Sangui was put down, the Qing government built three Yamen in Kunming of Yunnan Province, the largest of which was the governor's office. The governor's office was rebuilt from the government of Mu's kingdom. It is adjacent to Wenmiao street, haitiange Lane in the East, Shalang Lane in the west, Guanghua Lane in the South and Minsheng street in the north. The governor's office has a public hall, a terrace and a flower bed. During the reign of Jiaqing, Ruan Yuan, the governor, built stone pavilions. To the west, there were martial arts training ground, bijitai and so on. The Qing Dynasty abolished the duty system of chieftain's children, but Yongdao and Yuanmen were still on duty. In Yongdao street, there are many workshops for making "sheepskin gold" (gold foil), as well as "Ma Xiang Yue" organizations, which are responsible for the postal service, sedan bearers, coffin carrying and so on.

On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising broke out. The revolutionaries stepped up their activities among the soldiers. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty were extremely alarmed. Governor Li Jingxi built fortifications inside and outside the governor's office and ordered the arrest of the revolutionaries. On October 30 (September 9 of the lunar calendar), Kunming revolutionaries first revolted in beixiaochang. When Li Jingxi heard the gunfire in the governor's office, he called Cai E for help. Cai E was not aware of the unexpected advance of the uprising. When Li Jingxi called, Cai E knew that the uprising was ahead of schedule. He immediately put down the phone, assembled troops and announced the uprising.

At the time of the uprising, Zhu De was designated as a team Officer (company commander) and led his troops to attack the East and South gates of Kunming, Yunnan. Li Jingxi transferred Ma Biao (Regiment) to guard the city, but the soldiers fought back and took part in the uprising. In Kunming City, Yunnan Province, the students of Jiangwu hall opened the gate of the city to welcome yijuncheng. Then Zhu De led his troops to attack the governor's office. At the beginning of the rebel attack, the governor's office was heavily fired by machine guns. The rebels set up cannons on the South Bank of the city and stormed the governor's office. The "flowering shells hit the big trees in the atrium and knocked them down", and destroyed dozens of masts, beams of the second Hall of the main hall and eaves and walls, killing and injuring dozens of enemy troops. Governor Li Jingxi dug a hole in the wall at night and escaped from hiding with his family members (Li Hongxiang's supplement to the Memoirs of the 1911 Revolution). In the governor's office, the garrison was empty, and the guards gave up resistance. The rebel army successfully captured many Qing army officers, and thousands of the remaining soldiers were surrendered "(Yu Enmin < chronicles of Tang Huize). Subsequently, Wuhuashan and the ordnance Bureau in Kunming, Yunnan Province also successively conquered the "Double Ninth" uprising. There were more than 150 dead and more than 300 wounded in the battle. "On the day of mourning, there were many spirits, which were rare in the world. It was extended for six or seven Li, and tens of thousands of people were buried. Congratulations to the military government, and the flag of the dead was paid tribute to the glory and splendor of Kunhua" (Sun Zhongying's Chongjiu battle record).

On the ninth day of the lunar calendar in 1912, the Yunnan military government offered four couplets to commemorate the martyrs of the Chongjiu uprising in Zhaozhong temple. They were all written by Zhao Shiming, the editor of the military government. First, the cloud:

In the end of the world, autumn will be deep again. When the wind and rain are all over the city, you can still see Tigo killing thieves. When the underground war lasts forever, you can't take medicine to seek immortality.

In 1950, it was changed into the people's victory hall by the first people's Congress of all ethnic groups in Yunnan Province. It has been a key cultural relic protection unit in Kunming since March 1983, a key cultural relic protection unit in Yunnan since December 18, 1998, and a national key cultural relic protection unit announced by the State Council of the people's Republic of China on May 25, 2006.
