historical background

Anshan ancient city, formerly known as "Anshan post Castle", is located between East and West Anshan, near the South Bank of Yangliu river. It is named after the post station set up in Ming Dynasty. The perimeter of the ancient city is 1160 meters and the height is about 10 meters. Although the building has been built for a long time, the grandeur of that year can still be seen from the broken walls. According to Shengjing Tongzhi, Anshan Yipu was built in 1387, the 20th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, and the brick city was built in 1578. In the early years, there were four big brick characters "Anshan post Castle" embedded on the lintel of the southwest gate, which was written by Zhang Zhen, a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty. In the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), the remnant forces of the Yuan Dynasty "Naha Chu" invaded southern Liaoning with tens of thousands of soldiers. They first occupied Anshan, attacked Liaoyang in the north, and attacked haigai in the south. At that time, southern Liaoning was in a critical situation. Under the command of Liaodong capital, Ma Yun and Ye Wang led the army to fight. It was not until the 20th year of Hongwu that this remnant of Yuan army was pacified. Built a castle and set up a post station here, it is regarded as an important thoroughfare town in southern Liaoning. In May 1626 (the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty), in order to recover Liaoyang, Mao Wenlong, the general of the Ming Dynasty and Liao Dynasty, fought fiercely with the Qing army led by the Qing general babutai in Anshan post. The two sides suffered heavy casualties, and finally the Ming army was defeated. Today, more than 300 years later, arrowheads are occasionally unearthed in this area. Anshan post was under the jurisdiction of Liao Zhongwei, commander of Liaodong capital in Ming Dynasty. In addition to permanent inspection, it also set up delivery post and post house. Letters and parcels exchanged in southern Liaoning should be transferred through the delivery office. The post station is equipped with a large number of horses, donkeys and other means of transportation for delivery. The post house was specially set up for the board and lodging of the past officials. It was received according to the official positions. This system lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty. The unearthed cultural relics prove that iron smelting in Anshan City had a considerable scale in the past. In 1958, many smelting sites were found in the northwest corner of the city. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the ancient city was prosperous in commerce and handicraft industry. There were all kinds of shops, inns, banks, pawns, teahouses and wine shops in the city. Other textile, oil pressing, wine making and weaving workshops were all over the city. Every market day, merchants gather, the crowd is bustling, lively, Qing Wei Xie all have "Anshan post rest" poem, describes the Anshan post fort in the past people to car to the prosperous picture: to Anshan Road, the spring breeze to see off. Bad bridge, wasteful post water, cold village, broken city smoke. Travel through cars and horses, residents from the city shop. If you stop feeding, you have to pay for it. Anshan City in modern history has written a glorious chapter, but it has also been engraved with bitterness. In 1900 (the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu), the anti imperialist movement of the Yihetuan in southern Liaoning first took place here. The movement was brutally suppressed by the Tsarist Russian army, and people fled one after another. Most of the houses were burned and the scene was miserable. After the disaster, Anshan City was dilapidated. In addition, the city was built later and lived in a secluded place, which was forgotten by people. With the passage of time, the ancient city has been seriously damaged. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, under the sponsorship of "love Anshan and repair our ancient city", the west gate and some walls were restored, making the ancient Anshan city full of new vitality. When it comes to summer and autumn, when you climb the ancient city, you can see the emerald green crops. The clear blue river flows quietly around the city, and the songs from the classroom form a quiet and pleasant scene.
