Qujiang tower

Qujiang tower

Qujianglou is located at 219 South Street, Jiangyan District, Taizhou city. It is named qujianglou because it is located at the corner of the ancient Yunyan river.

Details of scenic spots

Qujiang building has experienced many vicissitudes, but its main body is well preserved. As a historical witness of Chen Yi's implementation of the Communist Party of China's stand of uniting against Japan, in 1985, the people's Government of Yuantai county (now Jiangyan District of Taizhou City) announced that Qujiang tower was a cultural relic protection unit. With the support of the people's Government of Jiangsu Province, the original Tai County People's Government renovated the building in 1986. In 1997, the education on Party members' advancement and the Taizhou municipal level were published as patriotic education base by the provincial propaganda department and prefecture level city.

The revolutionary historical materials exhibition room on the first floor displays the revolutionary struggle history related to Jiangyan since September 1940 with a large number of photos, historical materials and objects. The Anti Japanese War Memorial room on the second floor is divided into three parts: "one million banners for anti Japanese War", "sincere cooperation in Anti Japanese War" and "red flags flying all over the sky in October". It reproduces a series of history reflecting the Anti Japanese struggle of Jiangyan people, such as the eastward advance of the New Fourth Army, and warns people to learn from history and never forget history.

On the screen of the hall is a plaque inscribed by Zhang Jian (an industrialist in the period of the Republic of China) of Nantong, who was the number one scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. On both sides of the plaque are couplets holding pillars: "what a dangerous building. Who is the host and who is the guest? Only two old houses are half suitable for the moon and half suitable for the wind.". In front of the screen stands a bust of Chen Yi, awe inspiring and lifelike.

After bowing to the statue of Comrade Chen Yi, they went into the exhibition hall of revolutionary historical materials in Qujiang building and looked around for the photo of the elder Mr. Pan Zhongbin. Mr. Pan Zhongbin was one of the representatives of Jiangyan people who participated in the military and civil conference of eight counties in Central Jiangsu Province in Qujiang building.

Mr. Pan zuncha was born in the old Taizhou city. This time he came to take his newly married daughter and son-in-law with him.
