Most of the Earth City bends from northwest to Southeast. At the corner, there was a turret in Tucheng. The eastern part of Taiyanggong village is SHIZIKOU village, which is called SHIZIKOU because two roads intersect in the village. Taiyanggong Road, which runs across Taiyanggong Township, meets nanhuqu road in the village to form a T-shaped intersection. The north end of nanhuqu road is the North Fourth Ring Road East. The west end of Taiyanggong road connects with Beitucheng Road, and the east end connects with Jingshun road. It was originally a rural road, which was later paved with asphalt.

To the south of Taiyanggong is Xibahe village. It is located in the west of Changqing dam on the Futong River (the Ba River, which leads to Dadu in Yuan Dynasty). In the east of Xibahe village are Xiajia village and maigong village. There are shangjialou and wuligou in the south. Southeast is dongbahe village, located in the east of changqingba. In the west of Xibahe village is the Seven Saints temple. There is a temple in the village, dedicated to the Dragon King, horse king, Qingmiao, Huoshen, Zaowang, Wudao and Guandi. Taiyanggong village has changed a lot in recent years. In the north, Longdao village and Shaoyaoju are basically non-existent. Residential quarters are built. In the southwest, Xibahe village and Qisheng temple are mostly eroded to build residential buildings. With Taiyanggong road as the center, farmers' houses are basically rented to migrant workers.

The sun palace was originally a temple dedicated to the sun god, and there is more than one in the suburbs of Beijing. According to legend, the Taiyang palace in the north of the city was built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Every year, the seventh day of the first lunar month and the second day of the second lunar month are the days of offering sacrifices. The incense is very popular. In the early days of liberation, Taiyanggong set up townships, which successively belonged to the 13th, 10th and eastern suburbs of Beijing. In 1956, six townships, including Wuluju, Xiaohuangzhuang, Zuojiazhuang, Taiyanggong, wuligou and qishengmiao, merged into Taiyanggong Township, which belonged to Chaoyang District in 1958. Due to the proximity to the city and the convenience of fertilizer and water, farmers in the Taiyanggong area mostly grow vegetables for a living. In addition to eating by themselves, they serve vegetables for people in the city all the year round. It is a famous old vegetable town in Beijing. Today, the green vegetable fields and historic sites in the Taiyanggong area are nowhere to be found. Instead, modern buildings and many residential areas have emerged. During the construction of the Third Ring Road, there was a bridge across the Xiba River, which was named Taiyanggong bridge. The deputy to the people's Congress of the township suggested that it should be renamed Taiyanggong bridge. The name of the bridge has been preserved and has become the symbol of this ancient area.

There is a folk legend about the origin of the sun palace. It is said that when Emperor Qianlong passed this place on a tour, the sun rose in the East, giving a beautiful golden glow to a nearby village. Attracted by the beautiful scenery, he thought that the village was closest to the sun, so he improvised the name of "Sun Palace". People learned that in order to thank "long en", they built a temple to worship the sun god, named "Sun Palace". It is said that the birthday of the sun is on the first day of February. Its purpose is to pray for a smooth wind, rain and abundant grain in a year. And the seventh day of the first month and the second day of the second month are also the days of offering incense, and the incense is very prosperous.

In history, people in the area of Taiyanggong mostly grew vegetables for a living. In addition to eating by themselves, they served vegetables for people in the city all the year round. It was once a famous vegetable town in the suburbs of Beijing.

Now, more than 200 years later, the sun palace has disappeared, leaving only one place name. Over the past decade, with the acceleration of urbanization, the Taiyanggong area has been rapidly developed and has become one of the fastest growing and most changing areas in northern Beijing.

Investigation files

In 1947, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Beiping City investigated the temples in the city at that time, and filed the investigation results for future reference. The records of this temple are as follows: "the sun palace, located at No. 9, Sun Palace, four districts in the eastern suburbs, was built in the 10th year of Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty and belongs to the public building of Hecun. The temple covers an area of ten bows from the north to the south, eighteen bows from the east to the west, three rooms for the hall, three tile houses, five earthen houses, one mountain gate and one brick shadow wall. Management of the use of the village for the establishment of a primary school, and rent a room with the surname Zhang six open shop. In the temple, there are four clay statues, an iron chime, an iron bell, a green glazed tile incense burner, a pair of wax cuttings, a pair of iron vase, a pair of white stone lions, and two elms and two willows

This record shows that the sun palace is not a big temple in people's imagination, but just a small rural temple, which worships the God of sun, moon, water and fire. Its fragrance is not necessarily strong. By 1947, the temple had been used for God, school and shop. According to a local elder, according to the Convention, every year on the seventh day of the first lunar month and the second day of the second lunar month, people in the village worship gods, burn incense and offer sacrifices, praying for heaven's blessing and peace, grain harvest and good weather. On the day of not offering sacrifices to the gods, the children in the village take the tables for the gods as the teaching platform to study in class.

By the 1950s, the Taiyanggong temple and its legacies had disappeared. The people's government used the temple to set up Taiyanggong Township Office, Taiyanggong people's commune in 1961 and Taiyanggong sub district office in 1993.

Development status

Once upon a time, most of the farmers in the area around Taiyanggong lived by growing vegetables. Because the soil here is good, and near the dam river, rich in water resources, suitable for growing vegetables. In addition to growing vegetables for their own consumption, farmers here also deliver vegetables to the city all the year round. It is a famous old vegetable town in Beijing. Nowadays, there is no place to look for these historic sites in the sun palace and its surrounding areas. Instead, there are modern buildings such as Donghu villa, Yansha mall, Jingxin building, Sanyuan interchange, chemical university and many residential quarters. The green vegetable fields are only preserved in people's memory, but no matter how the urban construction develops, the people of Taiyanggong have always been fond of the word "Taiyanggong". In the 1980s, when the third ring road was built, there was a bridge across the Xiba river section, named "Taiyanggong bridge". The deputy to the people's Congress of the township proposed to change the name to "Taiyanggong bridge", and wrote a special motion, which was adopted by the relevant departments. The name of the bridge has been preserved, and has become the symbol of this ancient area. In the 1990s, many new buildings were also named after "Taiyanggong", such as Taiyanggong farmers' market (closed)

Now the Taiyanggong subway station has been opened, which has become a bright spot in the northeast of the city. Taiyanggong park is a green belt between the Third Ring Road and the Fourth Ring Road in the northeast. The park covers an area of 37.4 hectares. It is a free community park.
