geographical position

The site of the memorial is located in the middle of Changzhou Island, Huangpu District, Guangzhou, to the south of the east of Jinzhou Avenue. Changzhou Island in Huangpu District is not only a place of revolutionary heritage, but also a land of changes. It has left many revolutionary historical sites. The important revolutionary heritage resources on the island are lined up, and the scale of the scenic spot is emerging. Changzhou Island is the location of Huangpu Military Academy. It has many cultural and historical sites, such as the Wanshan naval battle monument, the cemetery of the martyrs of the eastern expedition, the memorial of the northern expedition, Changzhou fort, Jinhua ancient temple and other quiet and lush natural landscape. There are 26 sites of modern Chinese revolution on Changzhou Island, which is the best site for the 1911 revolution memorial. After the completion of the memorial, it will form a complex with Changzhou Island, Huanghuagang martyrs cemetery, Guangzhou Uprising site Memorial, etc. to show the history of modern Chinese revolution.

Architectural pattern

According to the planning scheme, the memorial hall and its surrounding plots are divided into three parts from east to west. On the west side is Zhongshan Park with an area of more than 60000 square meters; on the middle is the memorial hall; on the east side is a small hill with an area of more than 40000 square meters to maintain its original ecology. The layout of the memorial complex is from north to south. Along the main axis, there are entrance archways, relief walls of martyrs, memorial statues, front landscape square, museum buildings, and back landscape square, forming a landscape line that fluctuates with the terrain. The architectural style of the single building of the proposed memorial hall is basically the same as that of Zhongshan Mausoleum, Zhongshan Memorial Hall and Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall in Taipei, becoming one of the series of Sun Yat Sen Memorial buildings. The overall architectural style of the 1911 revolution memorial hall is mainly gray and black, which is solemn and sacred.

The memorial hall is built of stone. The overall shape of the building is like a square stone. It is peacefully placed in the long river of history. At the entrance, a long and upward passage across the water leads to the gate, which means "the road of the Republic". The stone has been chiseled, which is a metaphor for the courage and arduous course of the heroes in the period of 1911. The 12 meter wide road passes through the gap, straight and upward. On the road are randomly displayed the bronze statues of the heroes of 1911, as if walking along the road. As the main axis of the streamline, when people shuttle among the heroic sculptures, it seems that time and space are back to the passionate years of the revolution of 1911. Through the thick stone wall, the end suddenly brightens, symbolizing the earth shaking revolution of 1911, opening the prelude of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty imperial system and the dawn of breaking the sky. The statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen standing at the end of the road and the front of the road seems to be thinking about the future direction of China.

A large number of valuable cultural relics have been collected in the memorial. A total of 62 precious historical relics, including the secret telegram codebook carried by Sun Yat Sen, the Huguang railway bond that triggered the revolution of 1911, and the commemorative coin of the founding of the Republic of China, which have been handed down overseas for many years and in the early years of the Republic of China, have appeared in Huangpu for permanent collection.

Xinhai

——Jianzhuding, the birthplace of the 1911 Revolution

On the 15th of the first month of 1904, Qiu Fengjia planned the "Huanggang uprising" in Chaozhou at the "jianzhuding" tea farm at the junction of Xingmei, Guangdong Province. After writing the words "qianshanlou" at "shunyulu" in xingwozi, Shima, he stayed at Mr. Ziyuan's house for one night. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, the next morning, after breakfast, he took a sedan chair with him Ziyuan to the jianzhuding ancient tea farm, about eight miles away from xingwozi. Because jianzhuding tea farm is the ancestral property of he Ziyuan's family, it is an ideal place for revolutionaries to talk about state affairs and criticize the current situation.

Whenever there are major issues within the party and the league that need to be finalized, they should go to jianzhuding for consultation and decision. On that day, there were Mr. Ziyuan's "baibazi" brothers, such as Xiao Huichang of Xingning, Yao Zhuying of Pingyuan, Jiang Baijian of Meizhou and so on At that meeting, we basically finalized the plan of action to plan the "Huanggang uprising" in Shantou, and made a specific division of labor. Yao Zhuying continued to maintain a single line contact with Xu xueqiu, a Chaoan native. Xiao Huichang and Jiang Baijian were responsible for contacting like-minded revolutionaries. He Ziyuan was responsible for funding coordination. Guanghan tea house served as the secret basis for the revolutionaries to contact, shelter and cover Point.

However, Qiu Fengjia, who has always been radical in his thoughts, is extremely calm this time and thinks that the conditions are not yet ripe. However, he is still in favor of speeding up the progress and "getting things started" as soon as possible according to the principle of being positive and prudent. Later, in response to Qiu Fengjia's high opinion, the two Huanggang uprisings failed due to leakage of secrets and many other reasons. The second uprising in 1907 was unprecedented in scale, with more than 5000 participants. All the revolutionaries from Chaozhou and Meizhou took part in the uprising, which had a great impact and dealt a heavy blow to the precarious Qing government.

In May 1907, after the failure of Huanggang uprising, he Ziyuan and other leaders immediately returned to Meizhou. Soon after, Xiao Huichang, Jiang Baijian, Yao Zhuying and other revolutionaries were exposed and forced to avoid jianzhuding tea farm for more than half a year. Among them: Yao Zhuying lived in jianzhuding tea farm for more than half a year, Xiao Huichang and Jiang Baijian for more than four months, Qiu Fengjia
