survey

People's Park is a comprehensive cultural, entertainment and leisure park, located on the west side of the Urumqi River (now the river beach highway). It is the largest park with the longest history in the center of Urumqi. Today's Urumqi people's Park has become a collective enterprise. The company's office address is No. 3, Youhao South Road.

A long time ago, the people's Park is located in a disorderly natural forest land, commonly known as "tree nest", in which there is a small lake, full of reeds, people call it "Haizi". In 1884, while expanding the city, Haizi was cleaned up and its bank was renovated, so it was renamed "Jianhu" (meaning to clarify and learn). Then a two-story Pavilion (now huxinting) was built on the South Bank of the lake. So far, the park began to take shape, named "Jianhu Park". At that time, people also called it "haiziyan".

Topography

The average altitude of people's Park is 800 meters.

history

In 1755, the Junggar Khanate in the north of Tianshan Mountains was destroyed, and the Qing government began to build Urumqi city. Three years later, the rudiment of Urumqi city was formed in the south of Hongshan mountain, where it was left behind by the swing of Urumqi River A few years later, Wu Mitai, the Minister of Urumqi, built the first building here, namely "xiuye Pavilion". Here was a great sight in Urumqi at that time. There was a doggerel as proof: "the mouth of the red mountain, the edge of the sea, the scenery outside the Great Wall is better than that in the south of the Yangtze River."

Later, somehow, "Haizi" was renamed "Guanhu". In 1878, Zuo Zongtang regained Xinjiang except Ili. Four years later, Ili returned to the motherland. In 1884, Xinjiang was established as a province, and the ruling center of Xinjiang was Urumqi. Liu Jintang, the first new governor of Xinjiang, straightened the four sides of the "Guanhu Lake" to make it clear as a mirror. He also took the words of Zhuangzi's "in view of the water stop" and Zhu Xi's "half an mu of fangtang" in his book review, It was renamed "Jianhu" (Jianhu boating in summer).

In 1898, Zhang Yinhuan, the left Minister of the Ministry of household, was exiled to Urumqi because he was the "head of kangdang's key criminals" in the reform movement of 1898. The next year, Zhang Yinhuan donated a small building in the middle of Jianhu Lake, named "Jianhu Pavilion" (named "Huxin Pavilion tea house").

On March 15, 1912, the Provisional Central Government ordered Xinjiang to change the governor into the governor. On May 18, Yuan Shikai appointed Yang Zengxin as the governor of Xinjiang. Within a few years after Yang Zengxin came to power, Jianhu officially became a public place for sightseeing. People called it "Jianhu Park" or "Xihu Park" (now referred to as "Xihu Park").

In 1918, Yang Zengxin built a row of long corridor bungalows in memory of Ji Xiaolan, a scholar of Hanlin Academy in exile in Urumqi, and named them "Yuewei thatched cottage" (rebuilt in 1995). Yuewei thatched cottage notes written by Ji Xiaolan in Urumqi is one of the three famous novels in Qing Dynasty (the other two are shitouji and Liaozhaizhiyi).

In 1921, Li Rong, President of Xinjiang Provincial Assembly, proposed to build "Danfeng Chaoyang Pavilion" in imitation of the style of Taihe hall in Beijing. After the completion of the project, "zuixia Pavilion", "train Pavilion", "Xiaochun Pavilion", "Bagua Pavilion", "Jianhu waterside pavilion" and "Yuewei thatched Hall Memorial corridor" have been built. In front of "Danfeng Chaoyang Pavilion", a "statue Pavilion" has been built, and a bronze statue of Yang Zengxin with his face pasted with gold has been erected. After the construction of these pavilions, Yang Zengxin took the meaning of "King Wen of Zhou enjoying with the people" and renamed them "Tongle Park" (you can only identify these pavilions by yourself, because most of them are not specified).

In June 1928, the Northern Expedition ended. On July 1, Yang Zengxin assumed the post of chairman and commander in chief of Xinjiang Provincial Government, and was assassinated on July 7. On November 17, Jin Shuren, director of the provincial government department, was appointed chairman of the Xinjiang Provincial Government by the Nanjing government. After Jin Shuren came to power, on July 7 every year, Yang's death day led his group of officials to pay a memorial ceremony in front of the bronze statue to show their remembrance.

On April 12, 1933, the "April 12 coup" took place in Urumqi. On April 14, Sheng Shicai, the "commander in chief of suppressing bandits on the East Road", seized the supreme power of Xinjiang with his military strength. After Sheng Shicai came to power, the bronze statue of Yang Zengxin was destroyed and the "image Pavilion" was demolished. Tongle Park was renamed Dihua park. (in 1763, the four gates of Urumqi city were built. Emperor Qianlong gave Urumqi the name of "Dihua city." Dihua means enlightenment, not enlightenment.)

On August 29, 1942, Song Meiling came to Urumqi to persuade Sheng Shicai to take refuge with Chiang Kai Shek. In order to express his "sincerity" of "obedience" to Chiang Kai Shek, Sheng Shicai placed all the CPC members in Xinjiang under house arrest on September 17, and secretly killed Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin and Lin Jilu on September 27 of the next year.

In the early spring of 1944, the headquarters of Chiang Kai Shek's 29th army moved from Jiuquan, Gansu Province to Hami, Xinjiang, and the military and political affairs in Xinjiang were completely controlled by Chiang Kai Shek. On September 2, 1944, an armed uprising broke out in Nileke County, Yili Prefecture, Xinjiang. Since then, the struggle against Kuomintang rule has been burning all over ILI, Tacheng and Altay. On October 14, 1945, Zhang Zhizhong led a delegation from Xinjiang to Urumqi to negotiate with the delegation of the revolutionary government of the three regions. On July 1 of the following year, Zhang Zhizhong and the Democratic Party government became the chairman of the "Xinjiang United provincial government". On May 21, 1947, in order to counter the growing political influence of the three regions, Chiang Kai Shek appointed meswood, the number one representative of Pan Turkism, as the chairman of Xinjiang province. In August, representatives of the three regions withdrew from ILI, and the "Xinjiang United provincial government" collapsed.

In January 1949, Chiang Kai Shek adopted Zhang Zhizhong's suggestion and appointed Paul Khan as chairman of Xinjiang province. During the period of Kuomintang, "Dihua Park" was renamed "Zhongshan Park".

On September 26, 1949, the president of Xinjiang Province, baoerhan, announced the uprising of the provincial government and the power transmission, and Xinjiang was peacefully liberated.

Name of renovation

After liberation, "Zhongshan Park" was renovated and named "people's Park". At present, there are new monuments to the martyrs of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang (built in 1956), children's playground, public stadium, garden in the garden, flower beds, etc.
