Historical sources

In 1688, the descendants of zasaktu Khan, one of the three karkhas who migrated eastward to Inner Mongolia, established their tribe on Horqin grassland and Taoer River in Inner Mongolia. In order to win over the upper class, the Qing government adopted the means of "being gentle" and bestowed "Prince flag, county king flag and Gongye flag". After 1891, when the banner of zasaktu was spread to Wutai, the king of the twelve dynasties, he was repeatedly accused of taking part in the lawsuit because of xijue. He repeatedly borrowed foreign debts and was unable to repay them. Therefore, it is necessary to open up the wasteland and recruit the Han people without permission, and embezzle the wasteland and pay without permission. Later, Wu Tai refused to be released by the government. On June 6 of that year, the Qing government issued an order to Wutai to be dismissed from his post and stay in his post, so as to see the future effect. It also issued an order to establish the first "zhasaketumeng wasteland bureau", open the raw and mature wasteland along the Taohe and Jiaohe rivers, and set up the "menghuangxingju bureau" in Zhengjiatun. In the early summer of the 29th year of Guangxu (1903), "menghuangxing bureau" moved to Shuangliu town. In the autumn of the same year, Taonan was set up to govern, and in the 30 years, Shengfu was set up. "Menghuangxingju" is the predecessor of Taonan Prefecture. As a result, it became an important town in eastern Mongolia and a hub of Commerce, water and land in Fenghe and Heilongjiang provinces. During this period, Wutai took advantage of the opportunity to develop the grassland on both sides of Taonan and Jiaozhou, and set up a "royal government office" in Taonan in the name of convenience for business, which was responsible for the tax collection of wasteland and Mengqi affairs, as a permanent office in Taonan. Wutai hired some famous architects who participated in the construction of Shenyang Palace Museum. Following the architectural style and pattern of Dongdan palace, Xidan palace and zhongqitu palace in Beijing, Wutai built a small Mongolian palace in the north of Xinglong Street on the east side of Saji ancient post Shuangyi goods store, which took nearly two years to build. In 1905, the Qing government wanted to restore Wutai County. Under the pretext of rewarding kaibian reclamation, it granted a nine foot long and three foot wide handwritten gold plaque engraved with four characters of "Heaven's favor and earth's Bureau" in gilded script, which was hung on the lintel of the main gate of Wutai County, with the words "given by Emperor Guangxu". As a result, the palace, which is known as "menghuangxingju", is known as "Tianen Diju".

The structural layout of "Tian en Di Ju" is an ancient Chinese architecture of "yamen style". It faces south and faces the prosperous Xinglong Street at that time. The front door is open from east to west. In the middle of the two doors is the "golden lion building wall" to cover the two entrance main door. On the top of the wall is the spectacular "Golden Lion fighting horn". The pockmarked face of the wall is engraved with the big character "Tian en di Ju". On both sides is the "eight character horse road" to connect the middle door. Behind the door is the huge screen of "Xing'an wancong mountain", which covers the majestic main hall. The main body of the courtyard is a quadrangle building, which is exquisite and chic. There are five blue brick houses on the four sides of the ridge of the hard mountain. The top of the courtyard is small green tiles with "wild goose rolling ridge", and the eaves are also covered with "lion head tiles", which echo with the "Golden Lion horn" on the top of the wall. It is a symbol of the ancient Hun Turk Mongolian "warrior style". There are six red painted pillars in front of each corridor, showing a solemn atmosphere.

Wutai didn't enjoy it for several years after the construction of "Tianen Diju". Because of the excessive foreign debts borrowed from Russia, Wutai had to mortgage the foreign debts to Taonan government. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), "Wutai incident" happened, Wutai was dismissed and fled to Kulun (Ulan Bator). "Tianen Diju" is in the doldrums. Although Wu Tai was reinstated, he was put under house arrest by Yuan Shikai and died in Beijing. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang forced the palace to expel the remaining evils of the Qing Dynasty. Wu Tai's adoptive father "Wu Gong Ye" was banished to Tao to temporarily live in "Tian en Di Ju", so "Tian en Di Ju" is also known as "Wu Gong Guan". In the spring of 1928, the ninth Panchen Lama left Tibet and came to Taohe for 40 days. He worked in the "heaven and earth bureau" and "sat on the bed" for photography.

After liberation, provincial, prefectural and central county governments stationed here several times. Tao Zhu and Yan Baohang once stayed in the "Tian en Di Ju" office. Before resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the Central County Committee of "Nanba county" in Heilongjiang Province (now Baicheng Prefecture Committee) and the PLA public security brigade also "joined hands" here. Until the end of the "Cultural Revolution", the "Tian en Di bureau" has been the "eight bureaus" of agriculture, forestry and water in Taonan. After the "Cultural Revolution", the science and Technology Museum bought the "Tianen Diju" and partially repaired it. In the spring and Autumn period of the 1980s, after several wars, except for the demolition of the front courtyard "double door wall" and the occupation of the back garden to build houses, it went through wind and rain without major damage and was well protected.
