Architectural form

Jiaojiatai is located on the Bank of lacquer water outside the east gate of Wugong Town, Wugong County, Shaanxi Province. It is said that it is the place where Houji preached the way of farming to people. The original rectangular brick platform with a large bottom and a small top is in the shape of a covered bucket, with a hole in the middle, which is the only way for traffic. There are stone carvings about 1 meter wide and 2 meters long at the east entrance of the cave. The inscription says: "Jiaojia district". The first one was "rebuilt in the first month of the fifth year of Daoguang (1825)", the second one was "established by Deng Zhaotong who knew the affairs of Wugong County", and the last one was "jiaojiatai".

Jiaojiatai is in the shape of Royal Fu Dou, and the royal constellation is in the shape of Di Dou. Di Dou is a bottomless Dou made by the ancients, which is often used as a measuring tool in the grain market. Its shape is Disu constellation in the twenty-eight constellations. The ancients believed that Disu was the root of Jiaosu and Kangsu, just like the root of a tree. It is the form of Kang Su that makes China a dragon, which just deals with the national policy of building a country by agriculture since ancient times.

There are two gates on each side of the platform, implying the four seasons of the year; there are 24 hurdles, implying 24 solar terms; there are five steps on the front and six steps on the back, which can reach the top, symbolizing the prosperity of grain and livestock. The stone tablet in front of the stage and the four door openings are embedded with poems and inscriptions by Qian Fanyu, Liu kuikun, Zhou Yao, Zhao Hongzhang, Yu Youren, Lu Nan, Wang Renzhong and Qu Wu. They can not only reflect on the internal reasons, but also appreciate the art of poetry and calligraphy.

Jiaojiatai has become a symbol of people's memory of their ancestors' hard work for the development of agriculture. Every year in November of the old calendar, the Wugong donghetan grand ancient meeting is still held here. In order to carry forward the cause of Houji, in 1934, Yu Youren established the earliest agricultural college in China, the national northwest agricultural and Forestry College.

After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was renamed Northwest Agricultural College, and has successively established Shaanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Northwest Institute of soil and water conservation of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Northwest Institute of Botany, Northwest Institute of water conservancy of Ministry of water resources, Shaanxi Institute of forestry science, Northwest Forestry College, Shaanxi Agricultural College, Shaanxi Forestry College, Shaanxi water conservancy school, Shaanxi Agricultural Science Research Center, etc Scientific teaching and research institutions. Houji's hometown has become a large-scale agricultural science city in China. The ancient and modern celebrities' poems and couplets in jiaojiatai are embedded in them, which makes jiaojiatai more solemn and spectacular.

Historical evolution

It has been repaired since the Qin and Han Dynasties. After many vicissitudes, it has been destroyed several times.

Hang Yunlong, the county magistrate in 1723, Deng Zhaotong, the county magistrate in 1825, and Qian Fanyu, the county magistrate in 1936, had been rebuilt three times.

At the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China, it collapsed, leaving only traces.

In 1970, due to the destruction in the "Cultural Revolution", only the remnant walls and tiles remained.

In 1987, Qisu initiated an initiative. Scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, especially the central and provincial Yangling agricultural research institutions, actively raised more than 40000 yuan. The construction was carried out in the autumn of 1988, and the main body was completed in the spring of the next year.

The Jiaojia platform is located in the old site again. It is still in the shape of a covered bucket, with a height of 12 meters and a perimeter of 24 meters. The area of protection is determined around the platform, covering an area of more than 2500 square meters. In 1988, it was listed as a county-level cultural relics protection unit.

In 1992, jiaojiatai was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Shaanxi Province.

Legend of scenic spots

The legend of Houji is that Jiang Yuan was born by his mother. Because Jiang Yuan stepped on the footprints of an adult in the wilderness, he became pregnant with Houji. It is said in the old saying that "I passed through the wasteland, walked on the giant's trail, and felt pregnant." he thought it was unlucky, so he abandoned him, so the name of Houji was originally abandoned. But when he threw it on the road, Ma Niu didn't step on him; when he threw it on the river ice, the birds warmed him with their wings, so Jiang Yuan knew that he was a God and adopted him again.

Houji was fond of farming when he was young. He had a lot of research on farming and achieved remarkable results. In Shun Dynasty, he was promoted to a farming official who specialized in farming. Later, he was honored as the God of Ji. Jiaojiatai is the only ancient agricultural scenic spot in China, and is listed as the first of the four famous platforms in Guanzhong

. It can also be said that this is the seat of the world's earliest agricultural science and Technology Research Institute, University of agricultural science and technology, and Ministry of agriculture.

According to the records of the historian Zhou Benji, Houji was the son of Jiang Yuan, the imperial concubine of the Yuan Dynasty. As a child, he had the ambition of being a giant. He was good at planting trees, hemp, beans and wheat. As an adult, he was good at farming and taught the people to farm. Emperor Yao Ju was an agricultural teacher, and was granted the title of Youtai (his former address was in Wugong County, Xianyang City). His name was Houji, and his surname was Ji. In order to commemorate the immortal achievements of this Chinese agricultural ancestor, later generations established the Jiatai of Houji religion. The adjacent Yangling Agricultural Science City and the established national Yangling agricultural high-tech demonstration zone can be regarded as the historical heritage of the ancient Houji jiaojiatai in China

.

From the seventh to the seventeenth day of November every winter, the Wugong town donghetan exchange conference has a long history. It is said that in the spring of ancient times, Houji taught the people farming techniques in front of jiaojiatai. As for the seventh day of November in the lunar calendar, people from all over the world gathered in donghetan to bring their harvest to Houji and began to barter. The earliest market in China started here. In a sense, the Wugong town riverside meeting, that is, the East Riverside material exchange meeting, is an ancient meeting held by people to commemorate the people's farming in Houji. It is held every year on the Qishui riverside in front of jiaojiatai. There are a lot of people, offering sacrifices to the God of agriculture, celebrating the harvest, learning experience, exchanging materials, and singing and dancing, acrobatics, opera and other programs. Hetan fair is the only ancient agricultural demonstration base developed by Houji, the ancestor of agriculture in China. It is also the largest preserved grand event commemorating Houji's agricultural materials.
