In history, Hong Liangji, Qi Yunshi, Lin Zexu, Deng Tingzhen, Xu Song and other famous relegated scholars have made brilliant achievements here. Lin Zexu led the people to open water conservancy, consolidate border defense, and benefit the people. He was respected and trusted by general Yili and people of all nationalities.

historical background

In 1757, the Qing government put down the rebellion of xiaohezhuo and xiaohezhuo in Junggar and unified the western regions. In the 27th year of Qianlong's reign (1762), President Yili and other generals (Yili generals for short) were established, which was the highest official position in the Qing Dynasty. It governs the military and political affairs in the East and south of Balkhash Lake, the upper reaches of Ertis River, the north and South roads of Tianshan Mountain, and even Pamir. From 1764 to 1777, the Qing government built Huiyuan, suiding, Ningyuan, Gongzhen, talqi, Guangren, zhande, Xichun, Huining and other cities in the Ili Valley, which were historically known as the nine cities of Ili. In 1871, the tsarist Russia invaded Ili on a large scale and occupied and completely destroyed nine cities including Huiyuan. In 1881, the Qing Government recovered Yili. In 1882, Huiyuan city was rebuilt 7 kilometers northwest of the old city. There are general's office, Counsellor's office, leader's office, general office of green camp, Tongzhi Office of current affairs and Tongzhi Office of Fumin in the city. The prosperous market is known as "little Beijing". During the 1911 Revolution, which lasted 150 years, there were 33 people, 48 of whom were promoted to the post of general of Yili. Among them, Mingrui, Agui, songyun, Changling, Yishan and so on made great achievements and had great influence. After the establishment of Xinjiang Province in 1884, the importance of this city was greatly reduced, and its status fell sharply. After the revolution of 1911, the garrison envoys of Yili used to be stationed here, but the scene of the past no longer exists. Now it belongs to Huocheng City, but there are still some relics of the bell tower of Huiyuan city and Yili general's mansion. In 2001, the State Administration of cultural relics invested in comprehensive maintenance.

Introduction to scenic spots

At present, the former site of the general's residence is still preserved in the city, and the former site faces south. The ancient trees in the courtyard are towering; halls, pavilions, winding paths and corridors still exist. The small and exquisite "general Pavilion" has been renovated and stands among the green pines and trees. In the past, a pair of stone lions with peculiar shapes in front of the gate of the general's mansion are still in the courtyard. They look lifelike and attractive.

General Pavilion

Walking into the siheyuan style Yili general's mansion, a sense of vicissitudes and heavy atmosphere is coming. Outside a wall, taxis running on the street, horses ringing with bells, people's voices coming and going, and the general's mansion permeated with the historical atmosphere and silence, construct two dynamic and static spaces. Outside the wall, there are hairdressing shops, audio-visual shops and many small shops. In the fashionable modern shops, pop music comes out and floats into the wall. The century old general's mansion is still silent, which makes people wonder how ancient and modern can be harmonious and symbiotic in spirit. In the courtyard, it is full of green, flowers are bright and willow green, peach, apricot and apple flowers are competing to open, approaching, the fragrance of flowers is refreshing. The high white poplar beside the road is waving the new green in the slight wind, and the new leaves are dancing and singing in small pieces. This idea sprouts in my heart. The general's house is like an old man in the vicissitudes of life, watching a new round of spring in the years.

There is a 200 year old elm tree in front of the repaired Confucian temple. It needs two people to embrace it. It has luxuriant branches and leaves, and the branches and leaves stretching out to the sky are like huge fan crowns, which are silent with the Confucian temple. On the eaves of the word "man" in the Confucian temple is "one dragon and five beasts". The dragons are behind the five sitting beasts, and they stand in a row in turn. The five animals sit like dogs, but they are not dogs. We can't see what animals they are. The government office is the office of the counsellor. The architectural style is still the same as that of the Qing Dynasty when the general's residence was located, but some modern materials were used in the renovation, but the main tone of the restoration was retained. When you enter the courtyard of the lobby, you immediately feel solemn and dignified. The lobby is where the general of Ili handles major cases. Some major cases are to be heard by the general here. There are two stone lions in front of the hall. In addition to the round black eyes and the big black mouth, other parts of the body are painted yellow. After being washed by the wind and rain for a hundred years, some parts of the head and body show the original color of limestone.

Horse Pavilion in the back court

In the process of carving, the stone lion combines the delicate shape of the southern stone lion with the characteristics of the rough carving techniques of Xinjiang. It is not as fierce as the northern stone lion. It seems simple and clumsy, but accompanied by the lobby, it has a strong atmosphere of vicissitudes and dignity. Behind the stone lion, there are two ancient elm trees with birds singing on the branches. It is said that it has a history of 120 years. They were here before the establishment of the general's residence in Huiyuan new town. Walking along the road in front of the hall, there are East and West barracks on both sides. There used to be guards guarding the general. In front of the East and West barracks are a row of towering white poplar. Cai Dongwen, director of the county cultural management office, said that it was also elm here. After liberation, the PLA troops planted white poplar here. Although the poplar tree is straight and straight, it always makes me feel that it weakens the antiquity and massiness of the general's residence. In the front left of the hall, there are three stone tablets, which are the boundary tablets between the Qing Dynasty and Russia. But the marks on them are not clear. Only the pattern of an eagle can be seen on one stone tablet. The backyard of the lobby is the back garden, leaving behind a pavilion. The style of the Qing Dynasty and the ancient charm are still there. Six red pillars support the top of the pavilion. The eaves are simple and elegant, and there are no carved beams. But after more than 100 years, it is not strong enough. It is supported by six fine trees. The top of the pavilion is covered with moss and scattered bird feathers. Maybe the wind has brought them here and settled them here. They have added new life marks to the old Pavilion.

"Man, sheep, dog and lion"

In the courtyard of Yili general's mansion, there are two very strange looking stone lions. Their heads are like wool, their ears are like dogs, and their noses are tall and big, a bit like the big noses of Russians. This strange looking stone lion is called "man sheep dog lion". More than ten stone lions were found in the Ili Valley. Because there is no record of stone lions in historical materials, there was a local saying that Xinjiang was too far away from the mainland, and the stonemasons at that time had never seen a lion, so they designed it by imagination. Because the tsarist Russia invaded Ili at that time, the people of Ili hated the Tsarist Russians, in order to vilify the tsarist Russia Man, the Masons are setting up
