Historical evolution
There is Luoxing mountain in Mawei Port, Fuzhou, where the three rivers converge in the lower reaches of Minjiang River. A tower stands on the top of the mountain, the mainstay of which is the sea and sky. This is the famous Luoxing tower at home and abroad. Luoxing tower is an internationally recognized navigation mark and the gateway of Minjiang River. It has the reputation of "China Tower". The name of the world post is called "pagoda anchorage". In the past few hundred years, letters from all over the world to Mawei can be sent as long as "China Tower" is written.
It is said that one or two hundred years ago, foreign ships went to the sea off Mawei in Fuzhou to see the Luoxing tower from a distance and cheered: "China Tower". Previously, Amoy was internationally recognized as Fuzhou dialect. ——This shows that Fuzhou's contact with the west is very early.
According to Wang Yingshan's min Du Ji, a powerful power in Guangdong conspired to capture Liu Qiniang, a beautiful young woman, and first framed her husband and took him to Fujian. Liu Qiniang is unyielding and comes to Fujian with her husband. Unfortunately, when her husband died on the way, she sold her family property and prayed for fortune for her husband, so she built the tower here. The original wooden pagoda was destroyed in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty (1572-1620). At this time, Fuzhou's foreign trade is developed, and the port needs a sign. Tianqi four years (1624) in situ reconstruction, using stone, pavilion structure, seven story octagonal, both inside and outside the shrine, tower diameter 8.6 meters. Tasha stone table type, with a light on it. At night, the lights are everywhere to guide the ship. In 1866, the shipping administration was set up in Mawei. In order to protect the ancient pagoda from lightning, the shipping administration staff installed a large iron ball on the pagoda brake and inserted a lightning rod (31.5 from the tip of the needle to the base of the pagoda), connecting the iron bar to the bottom of the river. In 1656, Zheng Chenggong of Ming Dynasty led his division to resume the Central Plains and settled in Luoxing tower. Under the tower, he built a city fortress of Tubao. His headquarters persisted in resisting the Qing Dynasty for one year. In the early Qing Dynasty, on the mountain of Zhucheng, it was called the city of Luoxing pagoda; it was called the flood of Luoxing pagoda; it was called the flood of Luoxing pagoda; it was used as the observation tower and Yantai (beacon tower). In modern times, the international tradition of flying arrow (scissor) boats across the three oceans (Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and Dayang) was flourishing, and 11 boats competed in the waters under the tower. In 1884, during the battle of Majiang between China and France, officers and soldiers of Qingshui Division launched a heroic struggle against the enemy. It was re installed in 1926. In 1964, the people's Government of Fuzhou City listed the Luoxing tower as a cultural relic protection unit of the city, and repaired it, repaired the big iron ball, refitted the lightning rod, and added iron railings to each floor. In 1985, it was listed as a cultural relic protection unit at the provincial level.
geographical position
Luoxingta park is located in Mawei Luoxing mountain, covering an area of 2.33 hectares. At the foot of the mountain, a revetment is built along the Minjiang River, with Chaojiang tower in the West and Wangjiang Pavilion in the south. There are zhonghuntai, Mingchao Pavilion, friendship Pavilion, etc. On the top of the mountain stands the Star Tower. There are Zhao ancestral hall, Fujian shipping school site and Fujian shipping museum nearby. Luoxing tower, commonly known as moxin tower, was built on the top of Luoxing mountain. It was originally the symbol of the ancient port navigation lighthouse. As early as in the early Ming Dynasty, it was drawn in Zheng He's nautical chart and later nautical needle book. It is also one of the internationally recognized important navigation marks on the sea. The name of the world's post office is "China Tower".
Luoxing tower and Majiao at the foot of Maji mountain face each other across the water. The tide of this section of the river changes a lot, especially during the spring tide in August. Three thousand feet of spray, stone horse can not be seen In the Ming Dynasty, Lin Shibi's "Hengjiang ferry, Yunshui East, waves back to Baima to capture autumn wind.". What's the point of snowing in Lianshan? It's like "mid August" in Qiantang. Comparing the tide watching of Luoxing tower with that of "mid August" in Qiantang, Hangzhou, it's a spectacle. But the tide under the Luoxing tower also has a quiet time, such as Xie Zhaozhe's poem: "the Dragon sleeps in the air, the river is cold, and the tide returns to the wild, crossing the river.". In the song, the night is far away.
The situation of Luoxing pagoda is very dangerous: "the place is planned to be Qutang to see the yam, and the Yangtze River to see the golden coke." In 1559, Qi Jiguang's general Yin Feng guarded Mawei and attacked Japanese pirates. In 1656, Zheng Chenggong went north to fight against the Qing Dynasty and trained the navy in building a fort at the Luoxing tower. In 1884, more than 800 Navy officers and soldiers died in the Sino French Majiang naval battle. Therefore, it is stated in Fujian Tongji that "surrounded by heavy mountains, the key is locked layer upon layer, and the situation of the seven provinces (from Liaoning to Guangdong) is the most successful.".
Introduction to scenic spots
Luoxingtashan is now a park. It passes through the archway of the park's population. The garden is full of flowers and trees and has a pleasant scenery. Several towering ancient banyan, close to each other, lush, like a green city wall, surrounded by the towering tower. Pick up the steps from the tower, and spin to the top of the tower, the vision suddenly open, relaxed and happy. If you look around, you can see the scenery on both sides of the Minjiang River from a distance and the new look of the port area construction from a close perspective. You can have a panoramic view of the bright and colorful pictures of water and sky, beautiful mountains and new things.
Luoxingta park is a part of the theme park of shipping culture. Located in Mawei Luoxing mountain, covering an area of 2.33 hectares. At the foot of the mountain, revetments are built along the Minjiang River, fence poles are used, rockeries are stacked, and vegetation is widely planted. There is Sujiang tower in the West and Wangjiang Pavilion in the south. There are zhonghuntai, Mingchao Pavilion, friendship Pavilion, etc.
Luoxingta Park, at the entrance of the gate, on the side of the mountain, there is a cliff carved "Yunping" (nearly covered) in qingguangxu Dynasty. Under the tower, there are sculptures of Liu Qiniang on the site of Chengzhai road of Zhengchenggong castle. There is a pavilion on the south hillside (War viewing Pavilion), facing the river facing the wind, which is the water battle battlefield of Ming and Qing Dynasties against foreign aggression. Next to the stone path on the side of the hall is a stele named "pillar Huilan" erected by LI BA, the calligrapher of Fuzhou magistrate of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. There is a "sword testing stone" under the pavilion. Folklore: Zheng Chenggong failed in Fuzhou. He was sent a sword here. When he saw a huge stone, he prayed to heaven for directions. With a sword, the stone was split in two. The upper side of the stone actually faced the East. Only then did Zheng Chenggong decide to march to Taiwan.
There are granite caves at the foot of the mountain, and there are still marine erosion landforms. It is said that Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao (treasure) in the early Ming Dynasty, once stopped at Sanjiangkou, a boatman, to repair ships and wait for the wind to set sail. Luoxing pagoda is the intersection of three rivers, and the water depth can be used to berth giant ships. The cave is cool and pleasant. Zheng He often plays chess with his subordinates here for recreation, and is called "Sanbao cave".
There are Zhengchenggong castle and Luoxing pagoda ruins in the early Qing Dynasty. There are children's playground, pigeon farm, Chaojiang building, service department, etc. There is a tree on the side of the mountain, called "China Tarong", which is one of the top ten ancient banyan trees in Fuzhou. It has witnessed the rise and fall of the shipping administration and the whole process of the naval battle in Majiang. There is a red banyan tree near chaojianglou, with red skin and horsetail. It is said that Zuo Zongtang planted it by hand when he was in Fuzhou.
In the north of the mountain, there is the "Rocky elevation datum". In the past, the navigation channel and tidal water level in the southeast provinces were measured with the zero point of Luoxing tower (luo0) as the depth datum (the original elevation)
Point). The zero point is usually underwater and hard to see. Later, a sign is carved on the high place, which is called "Rocky". In 1955, the State Water Conservancy Bureau located the rock 20 meters above the rocky surface.
Luoxingta park has become a major scenic spot of Fuzhou shipping culture tourism. Under the tower are the national cultural relic protection units, the ship administration building complex, the historical and cultural stone "No.1 dock" (Qingzhou dock), and in the dock there is a submarine. There are also shipyard sites, naval lecture hall, cliff inscriptions, Liyuan, ancient fort and so on.
Looking down from the tower, the river flows to the East. In the old days, shatingzhouzhu was lined with roads and high-rise buildings, with pedestrians and vehicles, flowers and beautiful songs. Qingzhou bridge on the river crosses both sides of the river, and the natural moat forms a thoroughfare. The ancient battlefields on the surface of the water are fresh in my mind. Today, we are cleaning the wounds of war, spraying sand to make land, and opening up Fuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, free trade zone, high-tech park, and Taiwan investment zone.
The park is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery is beautiful. In front of you, there are ten thousand ton ships, ten thousand ton docks, department stores, and ten thousand ships. It has a profound history and gives you a high-grade cultural tourism.
