Historical evolution

Zhuyu Bay is 20 miles northeast of the city, and it is the first one in the famous Bay. The Hangou River, which was opened by the king of Han and Wu Dynasty, started from Zhuyu Bay, Yangzhou, Tonghai lingcang and Rugao Panxi.

In the fourth year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, the canal was opened again.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Zhuyu Bay was the gateway of the canal to Yangzhou and an important dock in China. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Yangzhou three times. Japanese monks Rongrui and Puzhao came to Yangzhou in 642 AD and invited Jianzhen to go eastward. In 839, Buddhist monk Yuanren came to China from there.

The ancient Zhuyu Bay is located in the main point, and it is an important stronghold to guard the canal. Every time there is a war, it becomes a place for military strategists. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty invaded Yangzhou, and its main force was stationed here.

In the Qing Dynasty, Sichuan army and Ying Yanji army were also sent to gather in zhuyuwan and Wayaopu. The Taiping Army guarded Yangzhou and often attacked the Qing army. Zhuyuwan was one of the active strongholds.

In 2008, Zhuyu Bay applied for national 4A scenic spot. The scenic spot increased the construction of tourism infrastructure, and comprehensively transformed Zhuyu forest, Heming lake, peony garden and animal exhibition area.

In 2009, in line with the success of the landscape improvement plan of Zhuyu Bay herbivore area, sika deer was relocated to expand its residence.

In 2011, Zhuyu Bay successfully applied for national 4A scenic spot.

legend

The site of "shizuoguanhe" in Tang Dynasty is a witness of the spread of Yangzhou culture from east to west. It's about monk Jianzhen, a famous monk in Tang Dynasty. When he came ashore from Zhuyu Bay in 714, he was attracted by the fragrance of the lotus pond in Zhuyu Bay. He bent down to pick a blooming red lotus and a white lotus, hid them in his arms and took them to the lotus pond of Daming Temple for planting. The next year, many "Lotus stone blocks" emerged at Tangbian. Since then, monk Jianzhen has never been to Zhuyu Bay, and the lotus planted in the lotus pond has been green. Later, he went to Fusang for the sixth time and brought lotus to Nara, Japan. It blossomed and fruited in tangzhaoti temple, a foreign country. It became a symbol of friendship between the Chinese and Japanese people - tangzhaoti Temple lotus and tangzhaoti Temple green lotus. "Stone seat to watch Lotus" became the favorite scenery of zhuyuwan people, which has been handed down to this day.

Ancient poetry

Liu Changqing's four songs to send his son-in-law Cui Zhenfu and Li Mu to Yangzhou.

Yao he: where there is land, only bamboo can be planted. Where there is no home, there is no goose. The spring breeze is blowing around the city, and the music is full of music.

Zhang Xuan's "reminiscence of the past in Zhuyu bay": flowers of reed grass at the head of Zhuyu Bay, with high autumn wind and red glow on the day.

Zhuyuwan by Zhang Youxue: in Sui Dynasty, there was such a way to pass through the water channel, and Jiangcun had to draw a picture to separate Pingwu. Zhongxing is still flying in the northwest. Xiaoer's whip is broken.

Kong Shangren's "Guo Wan tou": Zhuyu Wan tou's way back is on credit, and his song ends with wine, and the sun slants to the West.
