At the end of the Song Dynasty, with the trend of the whole country, the temple of Changdi in Linhuan changed its name to Wenchang palace, which is still in use today. Wenchang palace in Linhuan was originally a large courtyard with multiple main rooms, courtyards and ear rooms. Later, it was rebuilt one after another. The existing Wenchang palace, with green brick and grey tile, slope top structure, simple and elegant, is divided into three courtyards, covering an area of 2170 square meters. There are five hall rooms, three East and West Wing rooms, five face rooms and five aisles, totaling 16 houses.

Development history

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the imperial examination gave the common people the chance to change their fate by studying as officials. However, it was a narrow path. In order to obtain fame, people naturally turn to seek the help of gods. Therefore, Wenchang God star, who is in charge of fame and wealth in the world, appears extremely bright and becomes the god worshipped by many students and literati. At that time, the Wenchang palace in Linhuan was often filled with students who sought fame and honor. The most lively time was the third day of the second lunar month. This is the birthday of Wenchang. The local government is going to hold large-scale sacrificial activities. The literati are going to the Wenchang palace to worship the gods. The sacrificial ceremony and the activities of reciting poems and articles form a lively Wenchang conference.

The image of Wenchang in history is graceful and intelligent, riding a white donkey and accompanied by two child servants. The image of Wenchang in the early days of Wenchang palace in Linhuan is the sitting image of the magnanimous officials of the imperial court, with long beard, kind eyebrows and wise eyes, wearing a jade official hat and a clog robe, which is full of bookish. His noble and extraordinary temperament was reflected in the presence of several close child servants. The walls of the palace are decorated with auspicious patterns, such as taking the lead, toad palace winning laurel and so on, creating a beautiful artistic conception of the golden list. Wenchang palace has become a blessed place for scholars of all ages.

When Bai Juyi lived in Suzhou Fuli Donglin thatched cottage, he visited Linhuan with Fuli Wuzi. He once stayed in Wenchang palace and wrote poems against some local literati. Meng Haoran, a poet, once went boating on the Huihe River, visited Linhuan, visited Peiming's house, and burned incense and Wenchang palace.

The gate of Wenchang palace faces east from the West. On it, there is a saddle shaped ridge on the corner of the building. It looks like an eagle flapping its wings to fly. In solitude, it seems to be showing off something, and it also seems to be on guard against something. The wooden lattice windows, which connect the wall and protrude outside, not only support the top ridge, but also decorate and beautify the wall. The slender wooden bars show perseverance in the weakness, and indomitable in the damage. Isn't this also a kind of static harmony of force and beauty? Sihemen stands steadily, scarlet. It occupies and covers the same hole, and protects the same hole at the same time. On both sides of the gate are the courtyard walls made of blue bricks, which seem to extend beyond the courtyard walls Enter the door, just opposite the door is a tablet of Wenchang palace. Inside the gate, there are two paths on each side, and the one on the right leads to the house in the north. Beside the path is a well, and several bluestones are piled around the well. The one on the left is connected with an arched round door.

Before the beginning of the Huaihai Campaign, this was the headquarters of the Central Plains field army. On November 16, 1948, the Central Military Commission (CMC) established a telegram order. The General Front Committee was composed of Liu Bocheng, Chen Yi, Deng Xiaoping, Su Yu, and Tan Zhenlin. When possible, five people may hold meetings to discuss important issues. Liu Chen Deng, a member of the Standing Committee, often handles everything on the spot. Comrade Deng Xiaoping is the Secretary of the General Front Committee. This became the headquarters of the General Front Committee of the Huaihai Campaign. On November 23, the headquarters moved from Wenchang palace in Linhuan to xiaolizhuang in the southeast of linhuanji. The main room on the east side of the library in Wenchang palace is Deng Xiaoping's studio and bedroom. A wooden bed, a table, a chair, a lantern, a teapot, simple. Comrade Deng Xiaoping used a quilt with bullet holes in Wenchang palace. During the Southwest Shandong campaign, the enemy suddenly bombed dingguantun, where he was stationed. The enemy's strafing made five holes in Deng Xiaoping's bedding. Thanks to Ping's quick evacuation, he was not injured. The bedding is made of the local cloth woven from Taihang Mountain and dyed with plant ash.

The north courtyard is the meeting room, the Secretariat of the headquarters of the General Front Committee and the residence of Liu Chen Deng, the east courtyard is the kitchen and logistics office, and the South courtyard is the former site of the staff office, the combat office, the confidential office and the communication office. According to the recollection of the comrades in charge of security at that time, the back hall of Wenchang palace was the place where the leaders held a meeting. During the meeting, the leaders sat in front of the square conference table in a fan shape. The conference table was made up of two square tables. Every night before going to bed, Comrade Xiaoping would take a shower with two pots of cold water in the corner of the East Wing house. There was a small stool and a few bricks for feet. He likes to play cards before he goes to bed and smokes Baofeng cigarettes. At that time, the satchel he carried usually contained three things: one was a map, the other was cards, and the third was cigarettes.

General Chen Xilian once wrote in his memoir "shuangdui collection of the battle of cutting off Xu Beng line": "Deng Xiaoping said that the Huaihai Campaign is related to the process of the Chinese revolution, and we must go all out to win the campaign resolutely and boldly at any cost." This is exactly the decision made by Comrade Deng Xiaoping at the headquarters of Wenchang palace.
