Development history

Background of park construction

In the early 1980s, the old Xiaogan City was in the stage of development, and at that time, there was no decent park for citizens to rest and play. At the same time, in order to enhance the city level of Xiaogan, promote the culture of filial piety, excavate the culture of filial piety, and publicize the spirit of Dong Yongqin, simple and honest, it also needs to be expressed in the form of a park. At that time, Dong Yong Park came into being.

The story of Dong Yong

The park melts popular stories, sites and relics into pavilions, mountains and rivers, bridges and stones, arouses endless reverie of tourists and is highly praised by tourists.

Dong Yong is said to be from Qiancheng (now Chenhu Town, boxing, Shandong Province) in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He lost his mother and moved to Anlu (now Hubei Province) to avoid war. After his father died, Dong Yong sold himself to a rich family as a slave in exchange for funeral expenses. On the way to work, I met a woman in the shade of Huaiyin. They said they were homeless and married. The woman weaves 300 brocades in a month to redeem Dong Yong for his debts. On her way home, she goes to Huaiyin. She tells Dong Yong that she is the daughter of the emperor of heaven and is ordered to help Dong Yong repay his debts. After that, he left in the air. Therefore, Huaiyin was renamed Xiaogan

.

It is said that Dong Tianbao, Dong Yong's son, was often bullied by the sons of thirteen rich men. One day, Tianbao was eating rice cooked with the rice left by the seventh elder sister. The guy who called himself thirteen Taibao insulted him again. In a fit of anger, Tianbao smashed the bowl. Suddenly, the wind and sand filled the sky. Immediately, the wind stopped and the sand dried up. On the ground, there was a rice shaped mountain pressing thirteen mounds. Later, it was called "Fanshan".

At the back door of the park, there is a saddle shaped hill. The steps up the hill are called "Baibu ladder". Until the top of "shengxiantai", there is a flower stove. It is said that on the way home from mangong, the seventh sister was forced to go up the "Baibu ladder" to "shengxiantai" and left the world with a curl of smoke.
