Development history

Huguang Pavilion is built on a small island in the middle of the lake. It is located in the north of Moshan and the south of Tingtao Scenic spot. Connected with the land by the ten mile long dike, it was originally named Zhongzheng Pavilion. It was built in 1931 to commemorate Chiang Kai Shek's 45th Birthday, and later renamed Huguang Pavilion.

The pavilion has three floors and eight sides. The eaves are green tiles. When you climb the pavilion and look around, the boat moves gently. There are thousands of scenes. Fog, water and sky, lake light Pavilion, like Penglai fairyland, all people yearn for. Huguang Pavilion is built on an island in the center of the lake, so it is also called Huxin Pavilion. From a distance, it seems to float in the middle of the water. The pavilion is divided into three layers. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery around the East Lake by climbing the pavilion.

On April 23, 1979, Marshal Ye Jianying pointed to Huguang Pavilion on the Changtian tower of East Lake in Wuhan and asked, "do you know what the pavilion used to be called? Zhongzheng Pavilion is a birthday present given to Chiang Kai Shek by Xia Douyin. Xia Douyin, born in the army, joined Chiang Kai Shek in 1926 and served as the commander of the 14th independent division of the national revolutionary army. In the "April 12" counter revolutionary coup, he was promoted to the commander of the new tenth army because of killing Communists. In the 1929 war between Jiang and GUI, he helped Jiang conquer GUI, occupied Wuhan and became the commander of Wuhan police. In his "busy schedule" of wantonly killing the Communist Party and the workers' and peasants' Red Army, Xia Douyin still did not forget to repay Chiang Kai Shek's "kindness of knowing the situation" to his "miscellaneous army", and according to the old tradition, he obtained the central island of Guo Zhenghu (the old name of East Lake) as Jiang Jiansheng temple to show his loyalty. Because of the Republic of China at that time, it was called "Zhongzheng Pavilion" instead of "Zhongzheng Pavilion". In the autumn of 1931, Xia Douyin became the president of Hubei Province. When the Zhongzheng pavilion was completed, he invited the Chiang family to Wuhan to receive the special birthday gift of Zhongzheng Pavilion for their 45th Birthday.

Chiang Kai Shek was born on September 15, the 13th year of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty. October 31, 1887. According to the old tradition, a man is a virtual year. Xia gave Jiang a 45th Birthday present when he was 44 years old, which was between "the respect of 95" and "looking at willows by the lake in 459". Judging from the situation at that time, Jiang Gang was elected as "chairman" and the domestic situation was relatively stable. At that time, he was very proud. In addition to Wuhan's political status, special geographical location and beautiful scenery of the East Lake, he gladly accepted the pavilion of "Zhongzheng Renhe", which was firmly seated in the center of the lake, to celebrate the new year.

According to Zhao Wei, a descendant of Xu Jiafu, my grandfather was in his early 30s. His boat was relatively new and had a shed. Chiang Kai Shek, Xia Douyin and a guard sat on his boat. At that time, the lake was wider than it is now. The dike connecting the island in the middle of the lake was not built. The lake water was connected with the river water. Therefore, the wind and waves were strong. The closer the boat was to zhongzhengting, the more the boat bumped. Chiang Kai Shek even said "don't panic, don't panic", and also said "the Huangpu River Estuary usually has a wave height of 70 meters.". After only about a quarter of an hour on the Zhongzheng Pavilion, they got on the boat again and went straight to the dock of Wuhan University. On the boat, Chiang Kai Shek told Xia Douyin: the water surface of the East Lake is many times larger than that of the West Lake, so we should build it well. Just one farm garden and a few private gardens are not enough. We should build a park. Connecting to the island, roads can be built, which is convenient for tourists and can reduce wind and waves, just like the white dyke of the West Lake. He said to my grandfather: you boat people can do flower boat show like the West Lake. Jiang also repeatedly said: it's too wild here, but there is also a taste of wild.

After landing at the dock, the guard gave the boatman a silver dollar, and Xia's housekeeper also sent him a reward. According to my mother, my grandfather kept the money all the time and finally gave her a dowry.
