essential information

In the north wall of Luozhuang zoo, there is a tomb of Yan Xiaokong, the commander of Shaanxi capital in Ming Dynasty. In order to commemorate Yan Xiaokong, a "Kangshou hall" was added when the facilities in the park were built. On both sides of the "Kangshou hall", there are ornamental tables symbolizing the "authority of the government". In front of the "Kangshou hall", there is a "Kangshou Hall Square". In order to achieve the unified standard of buildings in the park, pavilions and pavilions are mostly used in the garden.

After the 1990s, Luozhuang zoo was once neglected by tourists due to its backward supporting facilities. In order to attract tourists, it opened a "children's amusement park" in the southeast corner of the park. At the same time, it put forward the slogan of "young people's garden, children's paradise, lovers' Paradise" and invited Linyi Liuqin opera troupe to perform on the third day of the lunar calendar in 2011.

The ancient tomb of yanxiaokong in the north wall of animal in Luozhuang

Luozhuang zoo and the hills to the East and west of it were originally named "Batou mountain" according to local historical records. It is also known as "Wuzi mountain" because it has five mountains. Then why is it called "Stone Monkey Mountain" later? It has to start from a "imperial burial forest" in Ming Dynasty.

Yan Xiaokong lives in Lijiazhuang area in the south of Yizhou city. Born in the 41st year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1562 AD). Wanli Xinmao branch in the military examination, Wanli Wuxu branch Jinshi, Ren weiqianhu. He was the highest military officer at the provincial level at that time. He made outstanding contributions in defending against disasters and insults. In 1624 A.D., he died as an official and was named general zhaolie. They are presented to Chongqing and buried in Batou mountain in the south of Yizhou, their hometown. The cemetery belongs to daomai, with Wuzi mountain as its head pillow, facing the Nibo lake. On both sides of the memorial archway, there are stone pillars with monkey shaped stone carvings on them. Because of the name, Patou mountain is also called "Shihou mountain".

According to the research, the Yan family belongs to the Yizhou family. Yan Xiaokong's son is famous for his military achievements. Yan Xikong, the younger brother of Xiao Kong's family, was a Jinshi in Chongzhen period of Ming Dynasty. He was a magistrate of Changzhi County in Shanxi Province and had political voice. Yan zekong, the younger brother of Xiao Kong's family, was a farewell driver in guide mansion and died in disaster. It is known as "a loyal and good school" in history.

According to legend, until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there were still people from the Yan family who came here to worship and sweep during the Qingming Festival. Later, both the Qian family and the Chen family in Houcun believed that the mountains to the west of Yan's cemetery were like "phoenix spreading its wings" and they were the treasure land of Fengshui. They competed with the Yan Family for forest land. The Yan family lost the lawsuit because they were from other places, so no one came to visit them again.

With the changes of the times and the development of society, it has become the industrial base of Luozhuang district. The Industrial Street runs across the "Shihou mountain". There are many tall buildings beside the road. The original appearance of the mountain has long disappeared, and it has really become a "geomantic treasure land" for the development of industry. Yan Xiaokong's tomb is still in the north wall of the zoo. The cornerstone of the memorial archway has been buried beside the dining hall of the South courtyard of the polishing and grinding factory. Looking back on the past and looking back on the present, I will record the historical facts I have learned here for future generations to pay attention to.
