Introduction to scenic spots

It is located at the East and West ends of paifangli street in Penglai City. In the East is the "mother and son Festival filial piety" square, and in the west is the "father and son governor" square. In the 44th year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty, the imperial court built it to honor the Qi family.

The distance between the two squares is 140 meters. Both of them are four column and three room granite stone carvings with eaves and ridges. The height is 9.5 meters, the width is 8.3 meters, and the depth is 2.7 meters. The two archways are tall and straight, majestic, full of composition and fine carving, which have high historical and artistic value. They are rare large-scale stone carvings of Ming Dynasty in China.

There are three questions in each temple, all of which are of single eaves, hard mountain, brick, stone and wood structure, covering an area of 595.1 square meters. The porter sits on the east side and the west side. There is a stone lion on each side of the gate. On the door leaf, the couplet "Qianqiu Longdian, Baizhan zhuxun name" and the banner "maritime prestige" are engraved. To the east of the gatehouse is the hall. The hall is East and West, with a front porch. On the front porch pillar is a couplet written by general Feng Yuxiang in May 1934: "the sages defend the country, the nation is glorious, and the descendants drive the powerful enemy, and the foolish spirit is bleak, and they succeed the predecessors.". On both sides of the front porch are displayed 12 ancient weapons such as knives, guns, swords and halberds. There is a neutral screen in the hall, with a picture of Qi Jiguang hanging on it. On the front of the screen, the words "Qi's family ascended to Zhou in the 10th year of Wanli" are engraved on the sword. On both sides of the screen, there are Qi Jiguang's works, Qi Shaobao's Chronicle, Qi Jiajun's "Guangbing", his robes and boots. After passing the screen and leaving the hall, it is the main hall. The main hall faces south. A inscribed plaque "qiwuyi Temple" is hung above the door. The couplets of the pillars on the front porch of the main hall are written by Yu Dafu: "pluck the cloud and point to the moon, pluck the sword to cool the enemy's gall"; the eastern wall is inlaid with a carved stone tablet "Wuyi Zhuangwu Temple" by Ji Yingjia. The warm palace in the center of the main hall has a statue of Qi Jiguang. On both sides of the statue are couplets written in official script: "it's not my intention to be a marquis. I hope haiboping.". The four walls are inlaid with plates introducing Qi Jiguang's life and deeds, which are painted with "imparting justice". "Attacking the world", "strictly governing the army", "creating Yuanyang formation", "writing Jixiao new book", "caring for soldiers", "conquering Dong Fox", "writing zhizhitang collection", "returning home" and "remaining talent" etc. Yu Dafu, Ouyang Zhongshi and other calligraphers also hung inscriptions and couplets in the temple. There is a ginkgo tree in the Ming Dynasty in the ancestral temple, which is tall and straight and blocks out the sun. On the east side of the temple is the back garden. In the garden, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, and the two steles of "loyalty" and "filial piety" are separated from the north and the south. In the southwest corner, there is an ancient cypress book of Ming Dynasty, which is curled and hovered, and is proud to be alone.

Main attractions

Hengshutang

The name of the hall comes from Qi Jiguang's collection of poems and essays, which reflects his military career of fighting in the South and North and fighting for thousands of miles. Hengshutang is the place where Qi Jiguang receives officials, subordinates, friends and office. Qi Jiguang is not only a military general, but also a civil servant. He is both talented and strategic. He is proficient in the art of war, poetry and prose.

Zhizhitang

Zhizhitang comes from "empty room makes white, auspicious ending" in Zhuangzi. This is where general Qi deals with correspondence, reads and writes. When I saw the old desk, I saw general Qi reading at night. Qi Jiguang wrote "zhizhitang collection", which includes three collections of poetry and prose "hengshudraft" and two collections of essays "yuyudraft".

Xiaositang

The Xiaosi hall displays the rubbings of the epitaphs of Qi Jingtong and Qi Jiguang and the genealogy of Qi Jiguang.

There is a beautiful and chic pond in Qi's mansion. The green water is rippling with microwaves. The breeze blows and ripples. The pond water is very clear and green.

Profile

Qi Jiguang (1528-11-12-1588-01-05) was a famous Anti Japanese general, national hero, militarist and martial artist in Ming Dynasty. The Chinese character is Jing, named Nantang, and Meng Zhu, Han nationality, born in Dengzhou, Shandong Province. Qi Jingtong, his father, was an official from generation to generation. In the 17th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang inherited his father's title at the age of 10 and lived in Sipin. In the 28th year of Jiajing (1549), Qi Jiguang took part in the military examination. During the examination, the change of Gengshu took place, so Qi Jiguang was assigned to Jimen. After fighting with the Tatar army, he wrote "Bei'an answer book". In the coastal areas of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong, we fought against the Japanese invaders for more than ten years. After more than 80 wars, we finally eliminated the Japanese invaders. He was good at reading when he was young, and he was good at understanding the classics and history. In the 23rd year of Jiajing (1544), according to the law, he took his father's position as the commander of Dengzhou guard. In the 32nd year, he took charge of Jin affairs and prepared for Japan in Shandong. Thirty four years later, he was transferred to the capital of Zhejiang Province. Screw in the participants. It is divided into Ningbo, Shaoxing and Taizhou (now Zhejiang Linhai). In the 36th year, he was removed from office by impeachment, and returned to office by Pingwang Zhigong. He was transferred to the three prefectures of Taizhou, Jinhua, and Yanzhou (now the northeast of Jiande, Zhejiang). At that time, Zhejiang was mostly attacked by Japanese, but the quality of the old army was poor. Qi Jiguang recruited peasants and miners to form a new army. He was strict in discipline, believed in rewards and punishments, and carefully trained with excellent warships and weapons. In view of the topography of many lakes in the South and the characteristics of Japanese pirates' operations, he also judged the situation and situation, and created a "Yuanyang formation" strategy suitable for both attack and defense, with 11 people as a team, equipped with shields, spears, guns, wolves, knives and other long and short weapons, changing the formation according to the enemy's location and fighting flexibly. Every battle has many victories, which is known as the "Qi army". Qi Jiguang is as famous as Yu Dayou.

About 30 years after Qi Jiguang's death, Zhu Ming's decadent Dynasty was on the verge of death under the fierce attack of Nurhachi's army, which rose between the White Mountains and the black waters. It suddenly reminds us of the arrival of Qi's general who had been guarding the northern frontier fortress for 16 years. In the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), the imperial court built a memorial hall for his posthumous title of Duke Wuyi.
