Hundreds of millions of years ago, although there were many sea land alternations in Wuhan area, Sheshan mountain was not affected. It rose and fell freely and stood in the city of Wuchang in a long and narrow shape. According to textual research, there were traces of various dynasties in the mountain. Unfortunately, most of them no longer exist. In 1924, to commemorate the Wuchang Uprising, the original Sheshan ad Park was rebuilt into Shouyi Park, which was the earliest Park in three towns of Wuhan (three years earlier than Zhongshan Park). Sheshan has a big river on its head and a small East Gate on its tail. Since ancient times, it has been a must for military strategists. In 223 A.D., the city of Dongwu was built on Sheshan to resist foreign enemies,. In 1912, in memory of the Wuchang Uprising, the Zhonghe gate was changed into the uprising gate.

It is a masterpiece of "the cold light shines on the secluded stone, the sparse forest brings the sound Pavilion" and "the peach blossom is deep in the warm clouds, and the red makeup is on the green building after the book". Since then, due to natural and man-made disasters, most of the landscapes have been destroyed, and many sites no longer exist. From 1924 to 1984, Sheshan was under the jurisdiction of Shouyi park. After years of construction and repair, there were yellow crane tower, Baiyun Pavilion, luoyanxuan, Shouyi monument of 1911 Revolution, Shengxiang pagoda, Chuibing hall, ancient city site, Chen Youliang tomb and other cultural relics. Chen Youliang was the leader of the peasant uprising army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and became emperor himself. Chen was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang in 1363. He was killed by arrow and buried in Sheshan. Chui Bing hall was set up in Shouyi park by Zhang Zhidong's students in memory of Zhang Zhidong. After liberation, in order to meet the cultural needs of the working people, the people's government, under the circumstances of great economic difficulties, vigorously supported the ancient architectural culture and continued to repair and build, so that the landscape of Sheshan continued to add new, so that the former glory of Sheshan reappeared.

history

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sheshan was called Jiangxia mountain, also known as zizhuling. It was called Huanghe mountain in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shicheng mountain in the Song Dynasty, Changshou mountain in the Yuan Dynasty, Jinhua mountain and Lingshan mountain in the Ming Dynasty. In the meantime, the Snake Mountain, named after the mountain, is the "winding snake" in Lu You's "journey to Shu" of the Southern Song Dynasty Therefore, there are many people who call it Snake Mountain in later generations, and it was named Snake Mountain in Qianlong's Jiangxia county annals of Qing Dynasty. In 1909, the detailed drawing inside and outside the city of Hubei Province was officially named Sheshan.

As early as 223 A.D

Xiakou city was built on it during the Three Kingdoms period. It has been continuously expanded in the past dynasties. There are many famous districts and scenic spots. Chiduo has more than 20 pavilions, such as huanghe tower, Baji tower, Baiyun tower, Liuyun Pavilion, and check Pavilion, so it has the reputation of "Hubei Shengao Olympic area". Celebrities of all ages, such as Cui Hao, Meng Haoran, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Wang Wei, Lu You and so on, have been on the tour one after another, singing and singing, leaving many excellent works. The existing scenic spots are: the Yellow Crane Tower at the top of Sheshan mountain; the elephant pagoda at the east end of the approach bridge of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge; the tomb of Chen Youliang at the south foot of Sheshan mountain; the statue Pavilion of Yue Wumu at the top of the middle of Sheshan mountain; the baobingtang at the South waist of Sheshan mountain; the Changchun temple at the east gate of Wuchang at the end of Sheshan mountain, and many important stone inscriptions.

Sheshan old house

South foot of Sheshan mountain

From the ancient building cave in Wuchang to the Dadongmen, among the old houses at the south foot of Sheshan mountain, the most famous are the two historic buildings listed for protection, including the former site of Hubei Provincial Library and baobingtang. However, little is known about the old houses such as "bialie Temple", "lishucheng residence", "Xu Zhiqian residence" and "Gao Yapeng residence".

Bialie Temple

The highest standard ancestral hall for anti Japanese martyrs

Not far to the east of the provincial library, just opposite the gate of Zhongnan University of economics and Law (Shouyi campus), there is a unique archway with the words "Huanghu villa". Through the archway, on the top of 50 or 60 steps, there is an ancient building with glazed green tiles and cornices. No one would have thought that this was the historical witness of the Chinese nation's fighting against foreign aggression with blood and life more than 70 years ago.

Liu Qianding said that after the fall of Nanjing in December 1937, Wuhan immediately became the wartime capital of the Nationalist government. The main building of Hubei Provincial Library, which was just completed at that time, became the location of China's Supreme Commander's headquarters in wartime. In order to boost the morale of the Anti Japanese War and pay homage to the martyrs who died for their country, in early 1938, the Military Commission of the national government built a memorial hall for martyrs on the south slope of Sheshan mountain to honor the martyrs and honor the soldiers who died in the Anti Japanese war.

With the increasingly fierce war ahead, after the completion of the ancestral hall, there are almost every day the memorial tablets of the soldiers killed in front of the temple. Until the fall of Wuhan in October 1938, the memorial tablets of Hao Mengling, Liu Jiaqi and other well-known Anti Japanese generals, as well as all the martyrs who took part in the defense of Wuhan, including the air war heroes Li Guidan and Chen Huaimin, were worshipped here.

On July 7, 1947, in order to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the July 7 Incident, the authorities organized tens of thousands of people to hold a parade and sacrifice ceremony for the restoration of the memorial tablets of the Anti Japanese soldiers. At that time, "Wuhan daily" once reported: "after the death of the throne, pedestrians stood in awe, shops and residents competed to fire guns, and plain cars and white horses were extremely sad and proud." "A couplet at the head of the gate says: his life is also glorious, his state-owned city is dry, and his people are exemplary; although he died immortal, he lived in the earth, he lived in the mountains, and he lived in the sky, sun and stars...".

Liu Qianding said that little is known about the history of the temple today, even in some historical materials of the Anti Japanese war. With the passage of time, the temple gradually deserted, and later moved to the hotel "Huanghu villa" of the University. Fortunately, when Sheshan was demolished in 2006, this ancestral hall with the highest standard for commemorating the Anti Japanese heroes in China was found and preserved. Fortunately, the corridor, the divine steps and the main building of the memorial hall were preserved in the original style.
