history

On the west side of Wulongtan Park, there is a stone tablet of "the former residence of Qin Shubao, the Duke of Hu state, the great general of zuowuwuwei in Tang Dynasty", which was announced as a key cultural relic protection unit of the city in 1979.

In the southwest corner of qinqiong ancestral hall, there are two stone tablets, one is "the ancient residence of Qin Shubao, Duke Hu of the zuowuwei army of the Tang Dynasty" and the other is "the epitaph of Qin Ai". According to reports, the former was carved in front of the gate during the period of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, when the descendants of the Qin family in Jinan renovated their old houses. However, in the Jiaqing and Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty, the dilapidated descendants of the Qin family split up and sold their old houses. Due to the reputation of the monument, no one dared to buy a house, so the monument was moved to the South Gate of Wulongtan park. After Qin Qiong temple was built, it was moved to the temple again.

It is understood that the stone tablet of Qin Ai's epitaph not only has good calligraphy artistic value, but also has important historical value for the study of Qin Qiong's family history. It confirms that Qin Qiong's family is an official family rather than an iron smelting family. It also clearly shows that Qin Qiong's former residence is in huaizhili, Licheng county (now along Jingqi road and Xiaowei Sixth Road), not in Shayuan, Xiguan (Huadian Street). The two stone tablets placed in qinqiong ancestral hall will greatly increase the cultural heritage of qinqiong ancestral hall.

On the west side of the gate of qinqiong temple, a 3-meter-long and 2-meter-high stone tablet is engraved with "biography of Qin Shubao in Old Tang Dynasty" in complex song style. On the screen wall outside the gate, two horses of Qin Qiong are depicted in high relief. One horse is Huang puma who gallops with Qin Qiong in the battlefield mentioned in the popular chapter novel, and the other horse is Hulei refutation described in Youyang Zazu. Rong bin, an expert in Jinan literature and history, wrote two ancient poems describing two horses. The title of Huang puma's poem is: fighting for the wind and the dragon, a strong man's battle. Since ancient times, Li Yuan has been a good singer with heroes ("Tougu dragon" is the nickname of Huang puma, "Li Yuan Chuan Chang" refers to the opera "Qin Qiong sells horses"); the title of the poem is "gold stirrups and silver saddle gallop on the battlefield, drinking mellow wine with high spirits". Sad hiss long with the heroes to leave the world famous.
