Introduction to scenic spots

The existing Yijiang gate was opened in 1921 with only one entrance, originally known as Hailing gate. In 1929, in order to send Sun Yat Sen's pivot to Zhongshan Mausoleum smoothly, it was expanded into three arches and renamed yijiangmen.

When Nanjing was liberated on April 23, 1949, the Chinese people's Liberation Army stormed into the city. On April 23, 1984, in order to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the liberation of Nanjing, after renovation, the crossing victory memorial hall was built in this tower.

The museum is rich in cultural relics and historical materials, showing the historical choice of the Chinese nation, recording the development of the history of the Chinese revolution, and expounding the arduous struggle of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people for the truth.

Yijiangmen tower covers an area of nearly 1200 square meters, and the exhibition hall covers an area of 436 square meters. It is responsible for the collection, storage, research, display and publicity of cultural relics in the campaign of crossing the Yangtze River. Nearly 1000 historical relics, photos, charts, reproductions and objects of the campaign are now on display. The exhibition is divided into four parts: the domestic situation before the battle of crossing the Yangtze River; carrying the revolution through to the end; millions of heroes crossing the river; and planting the red flag all over China. The whole exhibition vividly reflects the glorious fighting course of the PLA officers and men under the leadership of the Communist Party of China in the history of the war of liberation, uniting the people, being brave and indomitable, and fighting with blood. It also shows the scenes and historical facts of the great revolutionary war in the history of the revolutionary war.

Among the precious historical pictures, there are scenes showing the swearing in ceremony of crossing the river, scenes showing thousands of ferries heading for the south bank in the face of gunfire, weapons such as sledgehammers, shoulder poles and iron hooks used by the workers of the nursing factory to fight bravely for the liberation, and objects such as telescopes, compasses, military coats and blankets used by the officers and soldiers crossing the river, showing that a million mighty divisions have crossed the majestic mountain The historical facts of the river. These cultural relics and historical materials fully show that the army of the people's army and the common people across the river is unstoppable.

The objects on display are: Wooden three wheeled carts used by Jiangbei people to transport grain and grass to save the wounded for their children's soldiers, all kinds of guns and guns used by the people's Liberation Army to cross the river, light and heavy machine guns made by foreign countries used by the captured Kuomintang troops, house numbers of the former Secretary General's office of the "presidential palace" and American tableware, etc.

Some of the operational instructions and documents issued by Chairman Mao and other leaders in Huaihai and other three major campaigns are of high value for collection, research and education, and are good teaching materials for patriotism and revolutionary tradition education.

In 1993, the museum was listed as the ideological education position for young people in Nanjing. It has become an important base for young people to visit and study less, acquire historical knowledge and receive revolutionary traditional education, and spread the spirit of crossing the river.

Yijiangmen is located between Huangtu mountain and bazishan mountain in Xiaguan, Nanjing. There are nine double eaves and angled enemy towers on the city gate. It is one of the better city buildings in Nanjing at present. It is also an important traffic road in the urban area. When Nanjing was liberated on April 23, 1949, the Chinese people's Liberation Army entered the city from here.

Yijiangmen was opened in 1921. At that time, there was only one entrance, which was called Hailing gate. In 1931, it was expanded into a three arch gate and changed its name to yijiangmen. On April 23, 1984 (the 35th anniversary of the liberation of Nanjing), the crossing victory memorial hall was set up in this city tower. Comrade Deng Xiaoping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, wrote the name of the museum.

The three major field armies of northeast, North and East China launched the famous Liaoshen, Huaihai and Pingjin campaigns one after another, liberated the vast areas of northeast, North and north of the Yangtze River, and laid the foundation for the victory of the war of liberation. The second part is "carry on the revolution to the end". The third part mainly shows that the Kuomintang government finally refused to sign the domestic peace agreement, and Chairman Mao and commander-in-chief Zhu issued the order to march to the south of the Yangtze River. A hundred thousand grand divisions of the people's Liberation Army start from Jiujiang in the West. A large-scale cross river campaign was launched on the Qianli front to Jiangyin in the East. The fourth part "planting the red flag all over China" introduces that the people's Liberation Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China has won the glorious victory of the war of liberation in only three years, and announced the birth of the people's Republic of China to the world on October 1, 1949.
