A brief introduction to Zhang Liao's tomb

Hefei, known as the "hometown of the Three Kingdoms", has left many sites related to the Three Kingdoms due to the competition between Wei and Wu for more than 30 years. There are many historical records, such as the new city of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shu tombs, Zheng Di Pu, Zang Zhou Pu, Hui Long Qiao, Fei Qi Qiao, Hu Bing Tang, ancient Xiaoyao Jin and Jiao Nu Tai.

Most of the sites mentioned above have disappeared due to the changes of history, the influence of war and nature. At present, only Xiaoyaojin and Mingjiao Temple (jiaoluotai) are preserved completely and can be found.

Xiaoyaojin is located in the northeast corner of the old city of Hefei. It is only one step away from the crossbow platform. It is recorded in ancient books as the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms period. Xiaoyaojin, also known as "doujiachi" and "douyachi", was a ferry on Feishui in ancient times. In 215, the 20th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan led 100000 troops to attack Hefei, but the troops were still in the army, which was attacked by Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao. When Sun Quan retreated here, the Jinqiao bridge had been demolished. Sun Quan got out of danger by flying over Feishui on a horse. Later generations named this bridge Feiqi bridge. The story of "Zhang Liao Wei Zhen Xiao Yao Jin" in the famous classical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms comes from this.

Xiaoyaojin covers an area of 31.3 hectares. The whole garden is naturally divided into East and west gardens by water system. There are many scenic spots in the park. Dongyuan is a youth activity area and a children's paradise. A large lawn in the middle is a square for tourists to gather and entertain. Southeast corner is the zoo, there are rare birds and animals and a variety of aquarium. The northeast corner is a small village for tourists to have a tea break and a boat wharf for rowing. The west garden is mainly based on plant landscaping, with buildings and garden sketches. There are beautiful sceneries such as plum blossom mountain, peony garden, Rhododendron Garden, zangyou garden, bonsai garden, Duxiu Peak, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. In the garden, the fantastic rockery and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, waterside corridors and pavilions are all separated from each other. Visitors to the garden, winding path exploration, such as into the fairyland.

The inscription "Gu Xiao Yao Jin" on the South Gate of the park is written by Lu Run Yang, the teacher and Prince of Xuantong emperor in the late Qing Dynasty. In the garden, there is not only a tomb of Zhang Liao, a great general of Cao Wei Dynasty, but also a statue of Zhang Liao, who jumps with a sword and a horse. The Feiqi bridge, which was defeated by Sun Quan of the eastern Wu Dynasty, is also restored and rebuilt in the garden, which enriches the connotation and artistic conception of Xiaoyaojin.

Historical allusions

Among the four classic works in China, the characters and stories in the romance of the three kingdoms are well known. In the 67th chapter of this famous book "Cao Cao calms Hanzhong, Zhang Liao shakes Xiaoyaojin", Luo Guanzhong vividly describes this historical battle case in which a small number wins a large number of battles according to the records in the annals of the Three Kingdoms - Wu Zhi. He also uses a seven character quatrain of "when Lu jumps Tanxi on the same day, Wu Hou is defeated in Hefei; when he steps back, he gallops on his horse, and Xiaoyaojin flies to Yulong" And the scene is vividly described.

Xiaoyaojin Park is located in the northeast corner of today's old city of Hefei. It was once a ferry on the Feishui river. The name of the garden comes from the famous piece of xiaoyaoyou in the ancient book Zhuangzi. In the third century AD, Wei, Shu and Wu were at the same time. Hefei was the throat of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and a military important place. In the 20th year of Jian'an (215 A.D.) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan of the eastern Wu Dynasty took the opportunity of Cao Cao's western expedition to Zhanglu in the middle of the Han Dynasty and Hefei's emptiness. He personally led 100000 elite troops in an attempt to capture Hefei at one stroke and open the passage to the Central Plains to the north. Zhang Liao, a general of the state of Wei who was guarding Hefei, faced with the situation of the strong enemy pressing down on the border and the great disparity between the strength of the enemy and our country, braved the danger, and resolutely led the soldiers to fight against the enemy. Influenced by Zhang Liao's spirit of fighting the enemy bravely, the officers and men of the state of Wei united as one and killed the enemy bravely. They defeated the Wu army with one as ten. This is the famous story of "zhangliao Weizhen Xiaoyaojin" in history. The battlefield site is in the area of today's Xiaoyaojin Park.

In the long history of more than 1700 years, Xiaoyaojin, the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms period, has gone through vicissitudes. During the Qiandao period of Song Dynasty, Hefei city expanded and Xiaoyaojin was enclosed in the city. Dou Zicheng, a bureaucrat in the Ming Dynasty, took Xiaoyaojin as private property and renamed it "dou Jiachi". During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Xiaoyaojin was named Han by Wang
